The Punishment System How It Works: The number one rule of the captains is do not harm fellow crew members. The Moira doesn't have a strict environment, but that one rule is asked to be followed. What normally would result in hold time, the captains believe is no longer enough to keep crew from harming one another. This has brought about the creation of the punishment system. The rules are simple. If you physically injure another crew member or murder them, you are required to comment to this page using the form below. You will be asked to pick three different punishments from the stages below, each vary in how extreme they are, and to put those punishments into the comment you make using the form. From the date that you post here until three days later, players will be allowed to respond to your comment with a vote. This vote is what their character believes is a worthy punishment for the crime committed. The captains will not vote unless there is a tie. ICly: A MID message will be sent out detailing the events; it will have an attachment of the footage (only in the case of a murder, all other events will not show footage) with it. Crew members will be asked to seek out the captains in the mess hall and relay their vote as to the offenders punishment. Currently, a new system is in the works. Find out more here. The Three Stages Category One: ☄ Three to five days in the hold ☄ One month of latrine cleaning duty ☄ Two month of laundry duty ☄ Create your own Category Two: ☄ One of the above punishments and a loss of two ranks ☄ Off-ship privileges revoked: One week and a loss of two ranks ☄ Off-ship privileges revoked: Two weeks and a loss of two ranks ☄ Create your own Category Three: ☄ Solitary confinement: Three days ☄ Solitary confinement: One week ☄ Solitary confinement: One week plus a reset to Incipen ☄ Create your own List of Current/Past Offenders: ☄ Sans skelepun ☄ Adrian Clark forcefulgift ☄ Chara heart_breaking ☄ Peter takeitslow ☄ Alice Quinn niffin ☄ Rinzler notglitching ☄ Tarn sparkwhisperer Punishment Form: <b>Player</b>: (Handle or name you go by) <b>Characters Involved</b>: NAME <user name=NAME> | NAME <user name=NAME> <b>Details</b>: Please describe the type of death or injury.

Rinzler doesn't see when Prometheus arrives, but when he notices him skulking around the edges, there's a brief stare. If the enforcer were showing a little more personality today, it might even be characterized as challenging. He would've expected a smirk or sneer, at least. Prometheus was the first one to recognize Rinzler as broken, after all.

He doesn't notice when the malware leaves, but it isn't much surprise. The vote is meaningless, and even if it weren't, why should he care?

[notglitching]

Rinzler's not holding his breath either. (Or breathing, really. Not much point inside the mask.) Han's familiar enough to get a glance, but Rinzler doesn't react to his choices.

[Chara will stop and turn, neither seeming to endorse or condemn the proceedings.]

L takes a while to vote on this one. Eventually, with a frown and a quick shake of his head, it's Category 2... but in this case it's because the punishments seem largely interchangeable for what appears to have been an accomplice role. Any of them might be appropriate, where in the other cases, the proposed punishments seemed insufficient.

He resolves to go talk to Alice during her imprisonment, because something about the whole thing is troubling him.

[niffin]

she doesn't respond, though she may try reaching out to him when the dust has settled. in this case, there's a kernel of added responsibility that comes of finding the system ineffectively lenient. in that, they're on the same page

[niffin]

if she disagrees with his reasoning, she's not about to bring it up. l is an unfamiliar face, and she's wary of engagement for that alone.

Zam is giving Rinzler the benefit of the doubt and assuming this Cannae guy did something to push him into attacking -- something significant too. After all, Zam has pushed Rinzler’s buttons multiple times in the past and he responded with snark, not violence. And the attacks against Peter had clearly been in self-defense -- sloppy self-defense, Zam will add with a pointed look at the program: he shouldn’t have lashed out at J the way he did, but it obviously wasn’t premeditated.

Zam votes for Category 2, if only for the added lessons in non-lethal responses. Zam even remarks that she could help in that respect, adding that any hunter worth their salt knows how to take someone in alive as well as dead.

[backsassin]

Zam flat-out does not understand the point of premeditated murder on this ship when the majority of people just come back after a few days, and says as much at the trial.

She votes for Category 2. What Peter and Alice did was pointless and destructive, and they can reflect on that in the hold. Especially with Rinzler still alive and whirring a couple of cells away.

After collecting the votes, Category 2 received the most. Alice will be taken to the hold for the duration of her punishment (five days) and will lose two ranks.

Please comment to this and let us know the dates she'll be in the hold.

After collecting the votes, Category 2 and 3 received the same number. The captains stepped in and created a punishment that was somewhere higher than 2 and less than 3. It is as follows:

Seven and a half days of in the hold, plus an hour daily with the a counselor/arbitration officer until they deem him to be not dangerous to other members of the ship, or a maximum of one month.

Please comment to this and let us know the dates he'll be in the hold.

The remark about sloppiness gets a halfhearted glare, but Rinzler doesn't try to explain himself or disagree. The rest of Zam's judgement, he watches without responding. That said, he watches all of it, which, for anyone keeping track, is quite nearly a first. This isn't the first time Zam's treated Rinzler differently than he expected, and even he's having trouble not acknowledging the trend.

Knowing how to take down a target isn't Rinzler's problem, but combat practice certainly sounds more entertaining than talking for an hour. Whether for that reason or for others, there's no objection to their offer.

[notglitching]

Nicely compromised!

Rinzler will be in the hold for seven and a half days, plus the duration of his trial (just past midnight on the 14th to the same on the 17th). He'll be released shortly past noon on April 24th.

[niffin]

alice will refrain from saying that a chance is better than none, because she kind of realizes that doesn't help things wow zam it's like you don't want to gamble with homicide

[niffin]

17th — 22nd sounds good! Thanks.

[takeitslow]

He'll be in the hold 14th thru the 19th.

[skelepun]

You better believe it, kiddo.

Player: Tev
Characters Involved: Tarn sparkwhisperer | Luke Skywalker crudematter | Riptide knaval
Details: After Tarn goes alone through the ingress on Amissis-Re, Luke decides to retrieve him. Back aboard his ship and thinking that his short time aboard the Moira was only a strange dream, Tarn fuels with copious amounts of Robot Steroids in preparation to meet with a possible ally in the war against a defected Megatron. When Luke shows up to bring him home they engage in an in-depth conversation in which Tarn states that he doesn't have any business aboard the Moira and that he should stay where he belongs with The Decepticon Justice Division. Luke tells him that he should work to improve on a situation where he is at a disadvantage and and that his definition of "fitting in" may be too narrow.

After a while Tarn reluctantly is convinced to return to the ship, but with his mind clouded with the lingering effects of the Nuke that he fueled with, his temper is extremely volatile.

Luke signals his Contact, Riptide, on the other side of the ingress and they travel through together. Once back on Amissis-Re, Tarn is disoriented and short tempered. The minute that Riptide opens his mouth he alludes to the thought that Luke should have just left him to rot in the Ingress. Immediately, Tarn locks onto the comment and spirals into fury. Luke desperately tries to diffuse the situation, but in no mood to hear him out, Tarn kicks him into a wall, knocks him unconscious, and breaks several of his ribs. With his shoulder angel out of the way, Tarn proceeds to viciously torture and Murder Riptide, ultimately ripping out his spark.

Then Megatron comes and beats the snot out of him.

Threads: whoops


Possible Punishments:

Category One: Three to Five days in the hold

Category Two: Three to Five days in the hold and a loss of two ranks, 7 one hour meetings with an arbitration officer to review behavior and use of violence, Immediate enforcement of a 'Fools Energon' regiment to make him physically weaker and even out temperament.

Category Three: one week solitary confinement followed by a psych evaluation and therapy until further notice. Immediate enforcement of a 'Fools Energon' regiment to make him physically weaker and even out temperament.

[lets_see_what_happens]

Category Three

[skelepun]

The events are barbaric -- he has fondness for both victims and great disgust for Tarn's actions. Still, if recent events have told him anything -- establishing a voting record on this boat can cause more trouble than good. No public opinion is the best opinion 8D.

So as usual, no vote from him.

[daintylegs]

Category three

You monster.

He should probably have his t-cog removed too for extra punishment.

[heroicpose]

None of these seem serious enough punishment for Rodimus.

He votes category three, since it seems like the best one to quell his own rage a little, but adds in the commentary that he should have a mode lock.

[decepticonpeacemaker]

The most biased vote: Category one.

[niffin]

[ it seems unwise to potentially further piss off the giant murder robot, and after the recode fiasco she's not comfortable voting on options like these.

so: no vote, but jfc dude. at least luke is okay?? sorry sharkbot ]
