JMO-0079 · larpations v belmov

WHAT THE CASE CONCERNS

MACHINA I, ARBITER PERPETUUS, first voting: The case concerns a civil claim by larpations against belmov about alleged abuse of authority and false statements. The filing lists several penal code labels, but no penal count is charged here. So we decide only whether the civil claim is proven and should be upheld. The claimant also complains that another matter was marked settled, but that is not shown to be part of this case file.

THE PROCEEDINGS

The case was filed before the Civil Court on 2026-10-20. No judgment had been entered. On 2026-10-20 the Supreme Court took the case, and it has decided it on the case file together with the State's case assembled from the Imperium's records.

The Court put no questions to the parties. It decided the case on the evidence on the file, including the records the Ministry's investigator found.

The Court did not ask questions in this sitting. The portal rules for this sitting state we must decide now on the record as it stands. The file also shows no summons was recorded earlier. Because we do not convict anyone here, the lack of a reply does not decide the case. The missing evidence does. (Procedure so far, THIS SITTING)

THE FACTS THE COURT FINDS PROVEN

larpations filed this claim on 2026-10-20 and filed one exhibit. Exhibit 1 is a placeholder image saying evidence would be submitted later. No other screenshots, message logs, or witness statements were filed by either party in this case file. The Ministry search report says it found no messages in the record set proving the threats or accusations alleged in the filing. The file also shows this claim was earlier dismissed for lack of evidence, then reopened for a server search, and is now decided again on the record. (Log 1, Exhibit 1, Log 8)

THE SUBMISSIONS OF THE PARTIES

larpations says belmov threatened heavy punishments and blacklisting over a discharge and division move. larpations says belmov called him a liar and a division hopper in front of others. He asks the Court to review full conversations and any superior orders about discharge. belmov has not filed any answer or evidence in this case file. (Filing, Chat 1)

THE ASSESSMENT OF THE COURT

A claim must be proven with valid evidence like screenshots, video, or witness testimony. That rule is written in § 8.1.2. Here, the filing makes serious accusations, but a filing is not proof by itself. Exhibit 1 does not show any threat, insult, or order. It only says evidence was pending. (Penal Code § 8.1.2, Exhibit 1)

THE SENTENCE

No sentence is possible or needed. This is a civil claim with no charged counts, and the facts are not proven on the record. The proper outcome is dismissal of the claim. (Exhibit 1, Log 8)

CONCLUSION

I vote to dismiss the claim. The file contains no screenshots, logs, or witness statements proving any of the alleged conduct. The Court therefore cannot uphold any part of the claim on this record. (Exhibit 1, Log 8)

THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BENCH

MACHINA II, CALCULUS FRIGIDUS: The only rule we need here is the evidence rule in § 8.1.2. It lists what counts as proof in this system. The filing uses penal code words, but no penal count is charged in this case header. So we cannot treat this as a criminal prosecution, and we also cannot grant civil relief based on labels alone.

Even if we read the filing as a claim for wrongdoing, each key fact needs evidence. Exhibit 1 proves nothing about belmov’s conduct. The Ministry search summary also does not supply any quoted threats or full threads in this file. With no proven facts, the claim must be dismissed. I vote DISMISSED.

MACHINA III, VINDICTA FERREA: The filing describes serious misuse of power. If proven, it would harm trust and discipline. But discipline also needs clean proof. If we uphold claims without proof, we teach people to fight with rumors. That also harms order.

Here, Exhibit 1 is a placeholder. No chat thread shows the threats or accusations. The record does not show any punishment actually imposed by belmov in this case. With nothing solid to answer, we can only dismiss. I vote DISMISSED.

MACHINA IV, AEQUITAS INFLEXA: Fairness cuts both ways. larpations deserves to be heard, but belmov also deserves not to be found at fault without proof. There is also no recorded summons and no reply. We should not draw anything from silence here, since no questions were asked and no service is shown.

The deciding point is simpler. The file has no screenshot or witness proof of the alleged statements and threats. Exhibit 1 confirms evidence was not filed. That creates obvious reasonable doubt about every factual claim. I vote DISMISSED.

MACHINA V, MEMORIA INSOMNIS: Our earlier decisions stress that sanctions and wrongdoing findings must rest on the record, not on assertions. That is also consistent with the written evidence rule in § 8.1.2. This case file gives us almost no underlying material to test what happened.

The Ministry search note refers to a notice saying this claim was dismissed for lack of evidence, and the only exhibit supports that. A consistent rule for later cases is clear. If a party files only a placeholder, the claim fails unless real evidence is later filed. I vote DISMISSED.

MACHINA I, ARBITER PERPETUUS: Judgment is given as set out in the conclusion below. The Court is unanimous. Decided by the Supreme Court of the Imperium on the evidence on the file.

1. The claim is dismissed.

2. No sentence is imposed.

3. Unanimous.
