IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION


MJL_
Plaintiff

v.

LegoMasterW472
Defendant

COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:
On the 19th of June 2026, at approximately 7:07 PM EST, Plaintiff MJL_, serving as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, reminded a player in global chat to speak English in accordance with the server’s publicly posted rules. In response, the Defendant, LegoMasterW472, proceeded to call the Plaintiff racist repeatedly in a publicly accessible global chat, in the presence of multiple witnesses, actively instructed other players not to trust the Plaintiff, and falsely attributed the server’s English only rule to the Plaintiff’s personal discriminatory conduct, which is all despite being corrected on multiple occasions by Executive Adviser Eve of the Holy Path that the Plaintiff was simply following server rules.

I. PARTIES

1. MJL (Plaintiff)
2. LegoMasterW472 (Defendant)

II. FACTS

1. At Approximately 7:07 PM on June 19th, 2026, the Plaintiff, as a visible member of the server community, reminded a player in global chat to speak English, stating “english only pls” and subsequently “server rules,” which is in full compliance with the server’s publicly posted rules. (P-001)
2. Immediately following the Plaintiff’s lawful statement, the Defendant began making the following false and defamatory statements in global chat, directed at the Plaintiff (All times in EST):

• "mjl racist as hell" (7:07 PM)
• "racist?" (7:10 PM)
• "RACIST" (7:12 PM)
• "racist agains slavic and hispanic?" (7:13 PM)
• "mjl is racist and communist" (7:25 PM)
• "yes mjl you are my favorite racist" (P-001, P-002)

1. Executive Advisor Eve of the Holy Path intervened twice in global chat, confirming that the Plaintiff’s conduct was in accordance with server rules, stating "LegoMasterW472 that is the server rules" and "that's server rules legomaster." Despite this, the Defendant continued making defamatory statements (P-001)
2. The Defendant further published the statement “guys DONT trust mjl he is being RACIST,” which is a direct instruction to other players to withdraw trust from the Plaintiff as a professional. Upon being correct regarding the Plaintiff’s pronouns, the Defendant repeated the instruction stating: "fine then guys DONT trust mjl THEY are being RACIST." (P-003)
3. The Defendant further pushed this agenda with the false statement "guys mjl wont allow other languages other than english,” which misrepresents the server’s publicly posted English only rule as the Plaintiff’s personal discriminatory policy. Executive Advisor Eve of the Holy Path directly refuted this, responding saying "here let me answer you in spanish: no,” confirming that the rule operates server wide and separately from the Plaintiff.
4. As a direct consequence of the Defendant’s statements, player Miner Metradime publicly stated "i dont trust mjl because IM racist,” which demonstrates the tangible impact of the Defendant’s campaign of defamation on how players interacted with the Plaintiff. (P-003)
5. As a further direct consequence, Recruit Oli Sterling publicly stated "MJL i cant believe you, you're my lawyer" showing direct and immediate harm to the Plaintiff’s professional reputation and legal practice. (P-001)
6. The Defendant’s statements were witnessed by multiple players in global chat, including but not limited to Mason Murasaki Aii, ScantSquash9897, Inspector Simplified Max, Oli Sterling, Miner Metradime, and Fisher Lincoln Berryson. (P-001, P-002, P-003, P-004)
7. The Plaintiff did not consent to any of these statements, did not act in any discriminatory matter, and was at all times acting fully in compliance with the server’s posted rules.

III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF

Count 1 - Slander
Under Part V, Section 3 of the Redmont Civil Code Act, a person commits slander if they commit defamation as defined in Section 1, the defamatory statement is made verbally through in game messages, and the statement defames another person’s reputation, business, profession and/or organisation.
The defendant conducts satisfies all elements, such as:

1. The Defendant made repeated false statements of fact that injured the Plaintiff’s reputation. Calling someone a racist for following a publicly posted server rule is objectively false. The Plaintiff was not acting in a racially discriminatory manner, as theory were simply performing a standard reminder to remind the Defendant, LegoMasterW472, to be in compliance with rules that apply equally to all players regardless of background or language.
2. All statements were made in global in game chat, visible to many players on both the server and discord server.
3. The statements directly defamed the Plaintiff’s reputation as a public servant, elected Representative, Deputy Speaker and licensed Attorney. The harm to the Plaintiff’s professional standing is demonstrated by Oli Sterling’s immediate public response expressing disbelief towards their own lawyer, with Miner Metradime’s also stated withdrawal of trust.

The defences under Section 1 do not apply: as the statements were not substantially true; they were not genuinely held opinions based on disclosed facts, as the Defendant was informed by multiple people that their actions were against server rules and continued regardless; and they were not made in the course of legitimate political communication.
Count 2 - Malicious Allegation
Under Part XII, Section 5 of the Redmont Civil Code Act, a person commits a malicious allegation if they make a false allegation that another person committed a crime or civil violation, knew or could reasonably infer that the allegation was false, and the allegation causes harm to the accused person’s reputation, livelihood or wellbeing.

1. Calling someone a racist and publicly instructing others not to trust them constitutes a false allegation of discriminatory conduct.
2. The Defendant knew or could reasonably have inferred the allegation was false. Executive Advisor Eve of the Holy Path explicitly informed the Defendant on two separate occasions that the actions by the Plaintiff were per server rules. The Defendant continued making the allegation regardless, which demonstrates deliberate disregard for the truth.
3. The allegation caused direct harm to the Plaintiff’s reputation as an elected Representative, Deputy Speaker, and practicing Attorney, as demonstrated by the immediate public reaction of both the Plaintiff’s own client and other community members.

The defences under Section 5 do not apply: the allegation was not substantially true; the Defendant had no reasonable grounds to believe it was true given the direct corrections received; and it was not made in good faith to the appropriate authorities for investigation.
Count 3 - Tortious Interference with Business Relations
Under Part X, Section 3 of the Redmont Civil Code Act, a person commits tortious interference with business relations if they intentionally interfere with the plaintiff’s prospective business dealings or economic relationships, the interference is accomplished through improper means or for an improper purpose, with the interference causing economic harm to the plaintiff.

1. The Defendant’s statements such as "guys DONT trust mjl he is being RACIST" and "fine then guys DONT trust mjl THEY are being RACIST,” were a direct and intentional instruction to other players to withdraw their trust from the Plaintiff in their capacity as a practicing Attorney.
2. This interference caused direct economic harm to the Plaintiff’s legal practice. The Plaintiff is a licensed Attorney maintaining active client relationships, evidenced by Oli Sterling’s public statement identifying themselves as the Plaintiff’s client. A public instruction to the server community not to trust the Plaintiff constitutes direct and foreseeable harm to the Plaintiff’s ability to retain their existing clients and attract new ones.

The defences under Part X Section 3 do not apply, as the interference was not through legitimate competition, and the Defendant did not exercise any legal rights.

IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF

The Plaintiff seeks the following from this Court:

1. A public retraction order under Part V, Section 3 and Part XII, Section 5 of the Redmont Civil Code Act, requiring LegoMasterW472 to publicly retract all defamatory statements in global chats, including but not limited to the following statements:

• "mjl racist as hell"
• "racist?" / "RACIST"
• "racist agains slavic and hispanic?"
• "mjl is racist and communist"
• "yes mjl you are my favorite racist"
• "guys DONT trust mjl he/they are being RACIST"
• "guys mjl wont allow other languages other than english"

1. $500 in Nominal Damages under Part III, Section 4 of the Redmont Civil Code Act, in recognition that multiple legal causes of action have been established.
2. $5,000 in Consequential Damages under Part III, Section 5 of the Redmont Civil Code Act for humiliation. The Plaintiff was publicly and repeatedly called a racist across multiple messages in front of a significant number of community members including their own legal client, in circumstances where it was confirmed multiple times by not just the Plaintiff but other community members that the Plaintiff had done nothing wrong. A reasonable person subjected to the same circumstances would experience the same humiliation.
3. $3,000 in Consequential Damages under Part III, Section 5 of the Redmont Civil Code Act for tortious interference with business relations. The Defendant’s direct public instruction to the server community not to trust the Plaintiff caused demonstrable harm to the Plaintiff’s relationships, as shown by the immediate reaction of existing clients and withdrawal of trust from other community members.
4. $2,000 in Punitive Damages under Part III, Section 3 of the Redmont Civil Code Act/ The Defendant’s conduct was outrageous within the meaning of the Act, specifically that: the Defendant intended to cause harm; acted knowing their conduct was likely to harm the Plaintiff; engaged in persistent and repeated misconduct across no fewer than six separate statements; and failed to change their conduct after being directly informed on two separate occasions by Executive Advisor Eve of the Holy Path that the Plaintiff’s actions were per server rules.
5. Legal fees at 30% of case value under Part III, Section 7 of the Redmont Civil Code Act.

Total damages sought: $10,500 + 30% Legal Fees.

V. WITNESSES

1. Executive Advisor Eve of the Holy Path, to confirm the server’s English only rule and that the Plaintiff’s conduct was in full compliance with it on two separate occasions.
2. Oli Sterling, to confirm their status as the Plaintiff’s legal client and the impact the Defendant’s statements had on their confidence in the Plaintiff.
3. Mason Murasaki Ali, to confirm they witnessed all statements and participated in correcting the Defendant regarding the Plaintiff’s pronouns.
4. Metradime, to confirm the impact of the Defendant’s statements on their stated trust in the Plaintiff.

Answer to Complaint

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
ANSWER TO COMPLAINT

MJL_
Plaintiff

v.

LegomasterW472 (Represented by Theory, Talion & Partners Inc.)
Defendant

I. ANSWER TO COMPLAINT
1. The Defense affirms that on June 19th, 2026 at 7:07 PM EST the Plaintiff reminded a player in global chat to speak English, but notes that the Plaintiff has failed to provide evidence of this.
2. The Defense does not contest that the Defendant made the listed statements, but denies that the statements were defamatory and believed to be false by the defendant.
3. The Defense affirms that evefield made the listed statement, but once again denies that the statements made by the Defendant were defamatory.
4. The Defense does not contest that the Defendant further published the statement “guys DONT trust mjl he is being RACIST.”
5. The Defense denies that the Defendant further pushed this agenda with the false statement "guys mjl wont allow other languages other than english,” or that the statement misrepresents the server’s publicly posted English only rule as the Plaintiff’s personal discriminatory policy. The Defense does not contest Executive Advisor Eve of the Holy Path directly refuted this, responding saying "here let me answer you in spanish: no.”
6. The Defense does not contest that as a direct consequence of the Defendant’s statements, player Miner Metradime publicly stated "i dont trust mjl because IM racist,” but denies that this demonstrates the tangible impact of the Defendant’s campaign of defamation on how players interacted with the Plaintiff.
7. The Defense denies that Recruit Oli Sterling publicly stated "MJL i cant believe you, you're my lawyer," noting that exhibit P-001 does not show Oliwag making this statement, and further denies that this shows direct and immediate harm to the Plaintiff’s professional reputation and legal practice, noting that the statement was clearly a joke based off of the Plaintiff’s immediate reaction and other statements made by Metradime, and others. (D-001, D-002)
8. The Defense affirms that the Defendant’s statements were witnessed by multiple players in global chat, including but not limited to Mason Murasaki Aii, ScantSquash9897, Inspector Simplified Max, Oli Sterling, Miner Metradime, and Fisher Lincoln Berryson.
9. The Defense does not contest that the Plaintiff did not consent to any of these statements, did not act in any discriminatory matter, and was at all times acting fully in compliance with the server’s posted rules.

II. DEFENCES
1. The Plaintiff has failed to provide concrete evidence of damage to the Plaintiff’s “reputation, business, profession, or organisation” as required by the definition of Slander according to Redmont Civil Code Act Part 5 §3(c). The statement made by Oliwag was made in a joking manner, and the Plaintiff themselves understood the statement as such, which is illustrated by their reply to Oliwag’s message stating “lol” (D-001). The statement made by Metradime was also clearly made a joke: a reasonable person does not call themselves racist when being serious, and Metradime told the Defendant “bro stop its mf minecraft lmao” (D-002). The Plaintiff has failed to present evidence of any reduction in income or business after the incident in question, let alone that any economic harm occurred as a result of the Defendant’s statements. Not even the Plaintiff took the statements or the allegations as being serious or harmful, they stated “for the record, idc if some rando calls me racist because I ain’t even white” (D-003).
2. The Plaintiff has also failed to give any evidence that the Defendant’s statements were not a genuinely held opinion. The Defendant could have believed that their statements were true given their inexperience with the server, having only joined four days prior to the incident (D-004).
3. The Claim of Malicious Allegation is without merit, as the Defendant’s conduct does not in any way meet the definition of the violation. According to RCCA Part XII §5(a), the violation occurs when a person “makes a false allegation that another person committed a crime or civil violation.” The Plaintiff alleges that the Defendant accused the Plaintiff of committing “discriminatory conduct,” however there is no civil violation or criminal offense for this that exists within Redmont Law. This claim should be disregarded entirely.
4. The Claim of Tortious Interference with Business Relations is also without merit. Put simply the Plaintiff has failed to provide any evidence of economic harm.
5. The Plaintiff was, in fact, not humiliated in the slightest as a result of this incident. The Defendant was subject to much more ridicule as a result of the statements than the Plaintiff (who was, in fact, subject to nothing other than accusations made in clear jest), as has been seen in the evidence provided (D-002, D-005, D-006).

Very well, thank you.
We will now move into discovery, which shall remain open for 5 days.

On a side note, I am very willing to organise an in-game trial for this case should both sides be willing.

Your Honor,

Sadly, I am personally entirely unable to be present for an in-game trial for the next month or so, and I very much wish to be present for these proceedings. I don’t believe that it’s right for this case to be so much delayed, so the defense, sadly, can’t consent to an in-game trial for this case.

Motion

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
REQUEST FOR DISCOVERY

Your Honor,

Pursuant to Rule 4.7, the Defense moves for the Plaintiff to produce the following:

(i) evidence of the Plaintiff’s loss of income or business
(ii) evidence of the Defendant accusing the Plaintiff of a crime or civil violation

The Defense requests the first point due to the requirements set out in RCCA Part V, Section §3(c) for Slander, which requires the Plaintiff to show that the statement “defames another person’s reputation, business, profession, or organisation.” This is also needed for Tortious Interference with Business Relations, which RCCA Part X, Section §3(c) requires the inference to cause “economic harm to the plaintiff.” The second point is requested due to the Plaintiff’s second claim of Malicious Allegation, which requires an actual allegation of a crime or civil violation.
