Case Filing
IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION
MMiqa
Plaintiff
v.
Ognqn
Defendant
COMPLAINT
WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE PLAINTIFF
On June 2, 2026, the Plaintiff, MMiqa, had been a member of the Commonwealth of Redmont for less than 10 hours, having played for only approximately 10 hours over the course of their very first day. Throughout this single day, the Plaintiff was subjected to repeated unprovoked attacks by multiple different players in Aventura — a pattern of victimisation that systematically destroyed the Plaintiff's first experience in Redmont. The Defendant, Ognqn, is one of several players who attacked the Plaintiff on this day, and their conduct forms part of this broader pattern of harm suffered by the Plaintiff.
The Defendant attacked and caused the wrongful death of the Plaintiff in Aventura, then subsequently attacked the Plaintiff a second time. When confronted about the killing, the Defendant denied all involvement — demonstrating a deliberate attempt to evade accountability for their unlawful conduct.
The Plaintiff brings this civil action for damages arising from Wrongful Death and Assault under the Criminal Code Act.
I. PARTIES
MMiqa, Plaintiff.
Ognqn, Defendant.
II. FACTS
- On June 2, 2026, the Plaintiff, MMiqa, was present in Aventura, a designated city area of the Commonwealth of Redmont.
- Aventura is not the wilderness. PvP combat is not permitted in Aventura.
- At the time of the attacks, the Plaintiff had been a member of the Commonwealth of Redmont for less than 10 hours, having accumulated only approximately 10 hours of total playtime on their very first day.
- Throughout their first day, the Plaintiff was subjected to repeated unprovoked attacks by multiple different players in Aventura — suffering wrongful deaths and assaults at regular intervals across their entire first day of gameplay.
- The Plaintiff was a brand new player with no combat weapons, no armour, and no means to adequately defend themselves.
- The Defendant, Ognqn, initiated unprovoked combat against the Plaintiff in Aventura. The in-game system confirmed: "Ognqn has started the fight, you can legally defend yourself." (P-001)
- The Defendant caused the wrongful death of the Plaintiff. The in-game system confirmed: "911 Ognqn has murdered you! Type /911 to report them to the authorities." (P-001)
- Following the wrongful death, the Plaintiff respawned at Revhospital. (P-002)
- The Plaintiff confronted the Defendant in chat, asking why they had been killed. The Defendant responded "i didnt?" — a deliberate denial of their own conduct despite the in-game system having confirmed the killing. (P-002)
- The Defendant then attacked the Plaintiff a second time in Aventura. The in-game system confirmed: "Ognqn has started the fight, you can legally defend yourself." (P-004)
- The Defendant was observed in Aventura in full diamond armour and wielding weapons — demonstrating a significant power imbalance against the defenceless Plaintiff. (P-003)
- The Defendant's conduct — killing the Plaintiff, denying it, and then attacking again — demonstrates deliberate, calculated, and bad faith conduct.
- The Plaintiff's first day in Redmont was systematically destroyed by repeated attacks from multiple players, of which the Defendant's conduct forms a significant and aggravating part.
III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
CLAIM I: WRONGFUL DEATH — Criminal Code Act
- The Criminal Code Act defines Murder as the unlawful killing of another player.
- PvP combat is not permitted in Aventura.
- The Defendant unlawfully caused the wrongful death of the Plaintiff in Aventura without provocation.
- The Plaintiff brings one count of Wrongful Death against the Defendant.
CLAIM II: ASSAULT — Criminal Code Act
- The Criminal Code Act defines Assault as an intentional act that causes another player to apprehend immediate unlawful force, or the direct application of unlawful force to another player.
- Following the wrongful death, the Defendant initiated a second unprovoked attack against the Plaintiff in Aventura. (P-004)
- The Plaintiff brings one count of Assault against the Defendant.
CLAIM III: CIVIL DAMAGES ARISING FROM CRIMINAL CONDUCT — Redmont Civil Code Act Part III Section 1
- The Redmont Civil Code Act provides that civil damages may arise from criminal conduct.
- The Defendant's wrongful death and assault against the Plaintiff constitute criminal conduct giving rise to civil damages.
- Conviction of a criminal offence is not required for a crime to be regarded as a fact in a civil lawsuit.
CLAIM IV: NOMINAL DAMAGES — Redmont Civil Code Act Part III Section 4
- Nominal damages are available where a legal cause of action has been established, even though the Plaintiff has suffered no substantial quantifiable loss.
- The Plaintiff has established one count of Wrongful Death and one count of Assault against the Defendant.
- The maximum nominal damages cap is $7,500.
- The Plaintiff seeks $2,500 per count × 2 = $5,000 in nominal damages.
CLAIM V: PUNITIVE DAMAGES — Redmont Civil Code Act Part III Section 3
- Punitive damages are available where the Defendant's conduct was outrageous.
- Outrageous conduct means conduct that demonstrates a substantial departure from acceptable standards of behaviour and reflects a wilful, dishonest, oppressive, reckless, or grossly negligent disregard for the rights, interests, or safety of others.
- The Defendant's conduct was outrageous for the following reasons:
(a) The Defendant attacked and killed a brand new, defenceless player on their very first day in Redmont, with less than 10 hours of total playtime, with no weapons and no armour.
(b) The Defendant was equipped with full diamond armour and weapons — deliberately exploiting an extreme power imbalance to target a completely defenceless new player.
(c) After killing the Plaintiff, the Defendant deliberately lied in chat, claiming "i didnt?" — demonstrating dishonest, bad faith conduct and a deliberate attempt to evade accountability for their unlawful actions.
(d) The Defendant then attacked the Plaintiff a second time — demonstrating that the first killing was not an accident or a momentary lapse of judgment, but deliberate and repeated predatory conduct.
(e) The Defendant's conduct occurred in the context of the Plaintiff's first day in Redmont, during which the Plaintiff was subjected to repeated unprovoked attacks by multiple different players across nearly every hour of gameplay — the Defendant's conduct forming an aggravating part of a systematic pattern of harm against a new and defenceless player.
- The Plaintiff seeks $10,000 in punitive damages.
CLAIM VI: CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES — LOSS OF ENJOYMENT — Redmont Civil Code Act Part III Section 5
- Loss of Enjoyment is available where an injured party loses, or has diminished, their ability to engage in certain activities in the way that the injured party did before the harm.
- The Plaintiff had just begun their first day in the Commonwealth of Redmont, intending to work as a Fisher and enjoy the server for the first time.
- Throughout their first day, the Plaintiff was attacked by multiple different players in Aventura at regular intervals — suffering wrongful deaths and assaults across nearly every hour of their first 10 hours of gameplay.
- The Defendant's wrongful death and subsequent assault represent a significant contribution to the cumulative destruction of the Plaintiff's first experience in Redmont.
- The Plaintiff was unable to perform their Fisher duties safely and was unable to enjoy their first day in the Commonwealth of Redmont as a result of the Defendant's conduct and the broader pattern of attacks of which it forms a part.
- A reasonable person in the same circumstances — killed and then attacked again on their very first day, by a fully armoured player against whom they had no means of defence, as part of a day filled with repeated unprovoked attacks — would experience a significant and lasting loss of enjoyment of the server.
- As punitive damages are also being sought in this matter, the consequential damages cap of $50,000 does not apply per the Redmont Civil Code Act.
- The Plaintiff seeks $10,000 in consequential damages for Loss of Enjoyment in Redmont.
IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
The Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court grant the following relief against the Defendant:
- $5,000 in nominal damages ($2,500 per count × 2 counts)
- $10,000 in punitive damages for the Defendant's outrageous, dishonest, and predatory conduct
- $10,000 in consequential damages for Loss of Enjoyment in Redmont
- Any other relief the Court finds just and proper.
TOTAL: $25,000
