''' PUNISHMENT system ''' | |||
Players accumulate points for committing offenses. These points stay with them forever and are not reset if they leave the British Empire. Gaining points results in consequences. | |||
* (:1:) First Offence: Fine: 5 diamonds | |||
* (:2:) Second Offence: Fine: 10 diamonds + Minister of Justice may propose demotion | |||
* (:3:) Third Offence: Fine: 15 diamonds + Minister of Justice may propose demotion and/or expulsion | |||
* (:4:) Fourth (+) Offence: Fine: 20 diamonds + crew discussion regarding the individual | |||
All fines collected will be transferred into the possession of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and placed in the British Empire vault. | |||
A player who is banished from the crew may only reapply for membership after three months. An appeal will be discussed by the government and may be turned down if they so are so inclined. The player then has to wait another three months before they can reapply again. Any banished player who is permitted back into the British Empire starts off with one punishment point. | |||

The laws of the British Empire are rules which must be complied with by all British citizens. Breaking a law may result in a punishment. The point of laws is not to catch players out - with a little bit of common sense a citizen should never be involved in criminal activities. Players who unintentionally break the law may be dealt with leniently under circumstances. Peacekeepers are expected to act sensibly and fairly when dealing with felonies. | |||
