Case Filing
IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION
MMiqaPlaintiff
v.
ZachOfPotatoes10
Defendant
COMPLAINT
WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE PLAINTIFF
On June 2, 2026, the Plaintiff, MMiqa, had just joined the Commonwealth of Redmont, having played for only approximately 3 hours over the course of 1 day. The Plaintiff was attempting to begin their career as a Fisher and engage in lawful gameplay in Aventura. Without any provocation whatsoever, the Defendant, ZachOfPotatoes10, attacked and caused the wrongful death of the Plaintiff three consecutive times in Aventura.
The Plaintiff was a brand new player with no weapons, no armour, and no means to protect themselves. The Defendant's repeated and targeted attacks robbed the Plaintiff of their ability to enjoy their first experience in Redmont. Furthermore, the server itself was forced to intervene, confirming that the Defendant had caused the wrongful death of so many citizens of Redmont that they had reached the server's murder limit.
The Plaintiff brings this civil action for damages arising from Wrongful Death and Assault under the Criminal Code Act.
I. PARTIES
- MMiqa, Plaintiff.
- ZachOfPotatoes10, 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 approximately 1 day, having accumulated only approximately 3 hours of total playtime.
- The Plaintiff was attempting to perform their Fisher duties and engage in lawful gameplay at the time of the attacks.
- The Defendant, ZachOfPotatoes10, initiated unprovoked combat against the Plaintiff.
- The in-game system confirmed: "ZachOfPotatoes10 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: "MMiqa was pummeled by ZachOfPotatoes10." (P-001)
- The in-game system confirmed: "911 ZachOfPotatoes10 has murdered you! Type /911 to report them to the authorities." (P-001)
- The Defendant repeated this conduct a second time, causing the wrongful death of the Plaintiff again in Aventura. (P-002)
- The Defendant repeated this conduct a third time, causing the wrongful death of the Plaintiff again in Aventura. (P-003)
- The Defendant caused the wrongful death of the Plaintiff a total of three times in Aventura without any provocation.
- The Plaintiff was a brand new player with no weapons, no armour, and no means to defend themselves.
- On a fourth occasion, when the Defendant attempted to attack the Plaintiff again, the server system displayed: "You've been healed and ZachOfPotatoes10 cannot kill you because they've reached the murder limit." (P-004)
- This confirms that the Defendant had caused the wrongful death of so many citizens of Redmont that the server itself was forced to intervene and prevent further killing, demonstrating a clear pattern of habitual and deliberate criminal conduct.
- The Plaintiff called /911 to report the Defendant's conduct to the authorities following the attacks. (P-005)
- As a result of the Defendant's conduct, the Plaintiff was unable to perform their Fisher duties and was significantly impacted in their ability to enjoy their first experience in the Commonwealth of Redmont.
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 three times in Aventura without provocation.
- Each instance of wrongful death constitutes a separate civil claim under the Criminal Code Act.
- The Plaintiff brings three counts of Wrongful Death against the Defendant.
CLAIM II: CIVIL DAMAGES ARISING FROM CRIMINAL CONDUCT — Redmont Civil Code Act Part III Section 1
- The Redmont Civil Code Act provides: "The definitions and rules for damages in this Part apply to all civil matters under this Code, including claims for civil damages arising from criminal conduct."
- The Defendant's three instances of wrongful death 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 III: 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 loss.
- The Plaintiff has established a legal cause of action through three counts of Wrongful Death committed by the Defendant in Aventura.
- The maximum nominal damages cap is $7,500.
- The Plaintiff seeks $2,500 per instance × 3 = $7,500 in nominal damages.
CLAIM IV: 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 caused the wrongful death of the Plaintiff three consecutive times without any provocation whatsoever.
- (b) The Defendant deliberately targeted a brand new player who had been on the server for only 1 day with only 3 hours of playtime, with no weapons, no armour, and no means to defend themselves.
- (c) The repeated nature of the attacks — three consecutive wrongful deaths of the same defenceless new player — demonstrates deliberate, calculated, and predatory conduct.
- (d) The server system confirmed that the Defendant had reached the murder limit, meaning the Defendant had caused the wrongful death of so many citizens of Redmont that the server itself was forced to intervene. This demonstrates a clear pattern of habitual, deliberate, and systemic criminal conduct far beyond an isolated incident.
- (e) The Defendant's conduct represents a pattern of targeting and killing citizens of Redmont, making punitive damages necessary not only to punish the Defendant but to deter this habitual behaviour in the future.
- The Plaintiff seeks $15,000 in punitive damages.
CLAIM V: 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.
- The Defendant's three unprovoked instances of wrongful death on the Plaintiff's very first day severely and permanently diminished the Plaintiff's first experience in Redmont.
- The Plaintiff was unable to perform their Fisher duties as a result of the Defendant's conduct.
- A reasonable person in the same circumstances — suffering wrongful death three times as a brand new player on their very first day, with no weapons, no armour, and no means of defence — would experience a significant and lasting loss of enjoyment.
- 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 $25,000 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:
- $7,500 in nominal damages ($2,500 per wrongful death × 3 counts)
- $15,000 in punitive damages for the Defendant's outrageous, repeated, and habitual criminal conduct
- $25,000 in consequential damages for Loss of Enjoyment in Redmont
- Any other relief the Court finds just and proper.
TOTAL: $47,500
V. EVIDENCE
- P-001: Screenshot of system messages confirming first wrongful death by ZachOfPotatoes10 in Aventura
- P-002: Screenshot of system messages confirming "ZachOfPotatoes10 has started the fight", "MMiqa was pummeled by ZachOfPotatoes10", and "911 ZachOfPotatoes10 has murdered you". There are both instances of MMiqa dying, comparing the chat messages can give you that these are two different events
- P-003: Screenshot of system messages confirming third wrongful death by ZachOfPotatoes10 in Aventura
- P-004: Screenshot of system message confirming "ZachOfPotatoes10 cannot kill you because they've reached the murder limit" — confirming the Defendant's habitual pattern of wrongful death across multiple victims
- P-005: Record of /911 call made by the Plaintiff following the wrongful deaths committed by ZachOfPotatoes10 in Aventura
VI. WITNESSES
- MMiqa — The Plaintiff may testify about the three unprovoked wrongful deaths, the location in Aventura, the Plaintiff's status as a brand new player with no means of defence, the inability to perform Fisher duties, and the significant loss of enjoyment caused by the Defendant's conduct on the Plaintiff's very first day in Redmont.
VII. REPRESENTATION
The Plaintiff, MMiqa, is a licensed Attorney of the Redmont Bar Association and is representing themselves in this matter.
By making this submission, I agree I understand the penalties of lying in court and the fact that I am subject to perjury should I knowingly make a false statement in court.
DATED: This 2nd day of June, 2026
