This posts outlines our code of punishment in Goodsprings.

If witnessed, suspected, you have threatened or we have reason to believe you have commited a crime, you will be pearled.

You will be held for a maximum of 3 days. You may request a trial in that time. If you do not, or confess to your crimes, your sentence will be decided immediately, by the supreme councillor, with advising from other members of Goodsprings.

Once a trial is requested, you are obligated to one within the next two days.

Trial will take place within Goodsprings Temple.

All members of Goodsprings able to attend, must do so. The councillors make the final decision of Guilty/not guilty, acting like a jury. The supreme council gives the final sentance, acting like the judge. Doesn't get to vote on wether guilty or not, must remain neutral.

All other members of Goodsprings can and are highly encouraged to weigh in opinions, evidence, suggestions on sentence and any important info regarding the case, in the mean time. A trial is a community based event.

If for some reason a council member absolutely cant attend the trial at designated time, they must either give their place to a second-in-command or name someone else to take their place for the trial. Duration of sentance is dependant on severity of crime.

Criminal acts and general punishments for them:

Minor Greifing: Community service, by either repairing the grief, helping out in a public build, collecting resources, ect.

Major griefing: All of the above plus timed sentence in the end, collecting pearls.

Desecrating the Tree of life Or the Temple garden:

All of the above, greatly increased severity. Along with banishment from Goodsprings lands. If seen again in our borders, can and will be pearled on sight for a highly extended time.

Murder: timed sentence in the end collecting pearls. And a 5 diamond fine.

Attempted murder: Same as above.

Murder pearling: Same as above, with community service and a 15d fine.

Theft: a return of all items stolen. Anything not returned is to be paid its value back in i/d. Sentimental value may be taken into account. And a short sentence of pearl collecting in the end.

Sand mining: all sand returned immediately. Used to repair environment ruined. A 5 diamond fine is also given.

Criminals serving time in the end can, once the Colosseum is complete, compete in gladiatorial battles to reduce their sentence time. [to be updated once colosseum is complete]

Civil Disputes can be (if both involved parties agree, and the event is supervised by a councillor) settled with a trial by combat. Conditions for the fight is set by the challenger, the challenged has the right to decline the conditions and suggest new ones. This continues until both agree to the terms of the fight. A time and date is agreed upon. Failure to show results in automatic forfeit. No follow up fights or rematches allowed.

Any formal Criminals will be put on higher watch by Goodsprings defence but otherwise considered free and changed for the better.
