Proceedings
Quauhtli and Mia:
@Government I'd like to launch a trial and internal investigation into Xan and Sword's Proofs theft and pearling.
To ascertain the motives behind the theft, why it happened and find sentences for proof or Xan.
spacevolcano:
@Quauhtli and Mia who are you suing?
Quauhtli and Mia:
SwordProof
spacevolcano:
Ok for theft?
Quauhtli and Mia:
I'd like to make the case that he had knowingly attempted to steal from Accoker and leave Yoahtl with these belongings, but also that Xan; while having knowledge of this, was leashed to the event by the fact SwordProof is infacct his irl friend.
spacevolcano:
Aight I'll get it opened in a few hours
Quauhtli and Mia:
So I'd like to also make the case for a settlement for X_an on the grounds of a Misprision for a misdemeanor/theft.

Can we reinvite Xan and Sword and get this trial going?
spacevolcano:
Things are moving, getting judge ready....

SwordProof:
Thanks
@SwordProof
But do I get a lawyer
ArkenX:
Lawyers aren't a requirement and aren't provides. As much as I'm sure they intended to mimic western justice systems, it's still a minecart server. If you have someone in mind and they're already available and ready to go, sure.
SwordProof:
like the wild west?
ArkenX:
In a sense, a more local application of the law.
SwordProof:
Good morning, my name is SwordProof, and it is my pleasure to represent me on this very important case.I stand here falsely accused of theft, a very serious crime. I probably showed up on the snitches but i was breaking chests in xans apartment. He thinks its funny to take me off of our claims for no reason. At the conclusion of the case we will ask for a verdict of not guilty.
my mincraft is broken
i dont know hopw to fix it
X_an:
I'ma joink ya statement
SwordProof:
copied my statement kid
guilty
Quauhtli and Mia:
I am here sorry aha
Hola compadres, I am Quauhtli; approximately 99% comprised of just six elements: Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, calcium, and phosphorus. 0.85% being sulfur, potassium, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium.
SwordProof:
ok buddy
you took it to far with the elements
i am deeply hurt
craig
Quauhtli and Mia:
I have come about to launch this trial in an effort to prove SwordProof has knowingly and maliciously committed theft. But also that X_an; while being complicit, has not done anything to aid or abet Sword in his crimes if not except those to defend his friend, and while I wish I could say someone should totally ditch their friend for minecraft; I cant, even if that friend seems like a Bonehead.
SwordProof:
what if i am one
Quauhtli and Mia:
It is my hypothesis that SwordProof had indeed stolen items with the intent of keeping said items to himself, but just as much that X_an truly did not want this to happen. Having been Behooved to act on the actions of a far more.. rowdy personality.
SwordProof:
no proof
Quauhtli and Mia:
It is my hope that this trial and investigation will ascertain the motives behind the events that transpired, and get at the root of the truth of what has happened.
In which we as a community, and indeed even defendants may leave this trial with some closure.
SwordProof:
ok im guilty
🟥 🖐️
Quauhtli and Mia:
You're not getting off that easy buddy
SwordProof:
ok im not guilty?
like what else do you want me to say <:slightlyconcerned:900248083105992774>
Quauhtli and Mia:
We go about this trial, see the events as what they've happened, why you did what you did, why xan did what he did, and why We did what we did.
SwordProof:
https://tenor.com/view/bhibatsam-girls-dance-sisters-dance-happy-dance-kids-dance-gif-26527005
Quauhtli and Mia:
So we're all caught up, and we know whats what.
SwordProof:
https://tenor.com/view/leslie-jordan-leslie-belly-dancing-belly-dance-dancing-gif-25526487
ok so first
im guilty
then
im guilty
and lastly
im guilty
and xan isnt
what do you want to know buddy
Quauhtli and Mia:
I'm going to prove that, but not without showing every detail, with testimonies, juke/snitch proof, and actions.
Thats what the trial is for, just wait for arken lol
SwordProof:
ok whatever floats your boat but im guilty nothing to prove
Quauhtli and Mia:
@ArkenX
SwordProof:
🤷♂️
ArkenX:
@Quauhtli and Mia please present any evidence or call any witnesses to support your claims
SwordProof:
yeah
evidence b uddy
ArkenX:
and please limit cross talk for the moment please, everyone will have ample time to respond
SwordProof:
yes sir sorry sir
can i say one more thing rtough?
xan is a baddie 😉
Quauhtli and Mia:
I'd like to call Xan: to present his bearing on what has happened... his _HONEST and TRUTHFUL standing on what has transpired.
X_an:
sure
he stole
that is my comment
helped with what?
anyway
X_an:
on 03/24/2023 he stole from accoker in the morning
i logged on and he was breaking out the walls of accoker's apartment
i'ma just write a paragraph
On 03/24/2023 he stole from accoker in the morning, I logged on and he was breaking out the walls of accoker's apartment with a netherite sword and a bow, I asked them where they got it and they said they found it in a barrel along some railway (Which i knew he was joking and just lying so that he wouldn't have to tell me the truth), so thats my report of his theft.
SwordProof:
my turn now?
X_an:
his chests were also filled with pots
ArkenX:
Qua is calling evidence, witnesses.
Then you and X_an will have a chance to refute and present your own
@Quauhtli and Mia
Quauhtli and Mia:
How did you know he was lying?
X_an:
reasonable suspicion, because i saw him break out of accoker's apartment a second ago
there are snitch loggers are't there, can't we get someone to check that
thats how SwordProof got caught in the first place
Quauhtli and Mia:
You two are friends, so you two are usually together most of the time, yes?
SwordProof:
no not really
only when i stole
ArkenX:
Alright so.
We're gonna try to do this in an organized fashion somewhat.
We're all gonna have a chance to talk.
Qua asked X_an, so let's jump back to that
then we can go from there
X_an:
When he is online in the server we are usually together but he goes away once in a while
Quauhtli and Mia:
But you can corroborate that you were basically there when the theft itself took place?
X_an:
Not in the building
Not online when it started
but logged on, and went to the apartment building
when i saw him breaking out and replacing the wall
so no i wasn't there
Quauhtli and Mia:
I see, has he ever told you where he got those items from?
X_an:
He didn't tell me truthfully
I had to find out when ACcoker announced that he has been robbed
Quauhtli and Mia:
Did Sword show you the items he supposedly found"
X_an:
He showed it to me in his hands
is there a jury?
ArkenX:
There's me
SwordProof:
and me because i cant talk
ArkenX:
@Quauhtli and Mia do you have any more questions
Quauhtli and Mia:
I do infact.
What did sword tell you he was doing? like what exactly did he say?
X_an:
At which time? When he showed me the items?
Quauhtli and Mia:
Yes, Just before, and shortly after
X_an:
This was 3 days ago so my memory on his words aren't so clear.
I remember that he said, "You can't bully me anymore" when he showed me his items(Which happened on the street of my plot, west of my plot)
But I don't recall what he said before
After he showed his items i believe we went to the mines and i showed him my progress
Quauhtli and Mia:
And the thing he showed you was a netherite sword, yes?
X_an:
Yes and a bow
Quauhtli and Mia:
Right well, I believe someone was willing to infact give me the proof of the actual breaking, and mind you our city is VERY tight; almost no theft ever happens, if at all. No break ins like this.
A rienforced chest break at the area acc dwelt
complete with time of breaking
With that i'd like to end my questions and allow the defendents to speak
X_an:
I do want to point out that his chests are at the opposite end of the wall where we also have chests
Quauhtli and Mia:
@ArkenX Am done, who nexx
ArkenX:
@X_an @Quauhtli and Mia
I would like to speak on behalf of government here. This was a break on EngineeringBeans plot
X_an:
Idk whos plot that is
Good morning, my name is Xa_n Sus McGill III , and it is my pleasure to represent so and so on this very important case. The defendant, @X_an stands here falsely accused and pearled for theft, a very serious crime. At the conclusion of the case we will ask for a verdict of not guilty.
X_an:
idk where it is i mena
isn't that our apartment building
ArkenX:
It's directly north of the apartment complex
X_an:
i don't remember there being a plot
which apartment complex the sandstone one?
ArkenX:
@SwordProof @X_an
As X_an was called as a witness, Sword can now cross examine if he wants. Xan will also be able to present evidence based on his own testimony if he wants after Sword
The flat terracotta build that's incomplete
SwordProof:
ok
one second i have to do the dishes
Quauhtli and Mia:
Nukinmouse01:
Actually the break was in engineering beans apartment in jactars complex I believe
Unless I'm mistakrn
ArkenX:
I can verify before the end of trial
Just a reminder, please don't ping trial participants during the trial unless it's me or you are directly asking a question or presenting evidence.
Even if there is a lull in response, I'll make sure the schedule is adhered to.
X_an:
if anyone ever unpearls me just dm me before you do cuz i got valuables on my player so i just wanna store that before i go
Quauhtli and Mia:
waiting on sword rn
X_an:
I'm speedrunning the nether
SwordProof:
ok im here
i already said atleast 46 times
im guilty
@ArkenX
ArkenX:
I'll take that as @SwordProof resting.
Anything further from @X_an or @Quauhtli and Mia ?
SwordProof:
im guilty
NeoTide:
I would like to clarify that only sword proof was on snitches breaking chests, which includes engineering bean's chests, because those were within the jukebox's range. Xan appeared in the area but didn't break anything. The court can draw whatever conclusions they want from that, but those are the facts
SwordProof:
the court decides i am forgiven
xan offered to take my sentence
X_an:
NO I DID NOT
SwordProof:
same
not me
ArkenX:
@Quauhtli and Mia @SwordProof @X_an Trial is concluded.
Findings are as follows:
SwordProof Theft: Guilty Trespass: Guilty
Sentenced to two (2) weeks pearled, starting on 3/24 and ending 4/7.
X_an Theft: Not Guilty Trespass: Guilty
Sentenced to one (1) week pearled, starting on 3/24 and ending 3/31
There is not collected evidence or testimony that points to X_an breaking or stealing, but it does show him as being aware of Swords' action and as such shares some responsibility.
Personal property will be subject to a reps period of two (2) weeks. Following release and if no outstanding reps are owed, personal property will be compacted where appropriate and dropchested for pickup. The only exception for this is the bound Prot for both players, which will be given back on the contingency that no further incidents have occurred. This will be on an additional two (2) week period following the reps period.
Additionally, I am requesting @NeoTide to exile SwordProof permanently and to exile X_an for a period of ninety (90) days.
Trial permissions for both defendants will be removed in 24 hours or when both players acknowledge this.
