Evidence
Besides statements from both the defendant and plaintiff, there was a handful of discord and in-game screenshots that were admitted into evidence. Plaintiff baltxe streamed a video of the alleged unauthorized crystal PvP to the court and jury.
Judicial Panel Rulings & Decisions
The rulings & decisions made by the judicial panel during the official court proceedings (in chronological order):
jriver_15:
“RULING FROM THE PANEL: This court will not consider addition grief as a charge or allow it to be used in argument. Addition grief is an MCO staff dispute not a town staff dispute. it is to be assumed Glut had perms and did not addition grief. And as there is no objection to this from the mayor of the town with ultimate permissions, this ruling seems reasonable.”
KingServal:
Simplified Version:
The court will not accept "addition grief" as a charge or argument. This is an issue between MCO staff, not town staff. We assume Glut had permission and did not commit addition grief. Since the town's mayor (who has final say) has no objections, this decision is fair.
Closing Statements
No closing statements were made as the charges were dropped against defendant GlutusMaximus_.
Juror Instructions
Instructions from deputy judge jriver_15:
- “Juror Instruction: This court will not consider addition grief as a charge or allow it to be used in argument. Addition grief is an MCO staff dispute not a town staff dispute. it is to be assumed Glut had perms and did not addition grief. And as there is no objection to this from the mayor of the town with ultimate permissions, this ruling seems reasonable. In all deliberations, take it that Glutus had permissions to place the blocks”
Jury Deliberations
Most of the early jury deliberations was in regards to the exact crimes that GlutusMaximus_ was being accused of. There was worry that the defendant may have been in violation of the MCO rules regarding addition grief. However, the court gave a ruling and jury instruction that stated it is to be assumed that the defendant did not break the MCO addition grief rule.
Verdict
Case dismissed by Plaintiff and his legal counsel through Motion to Withdraw with Prejudice.
Judgement
No judgement via the Court was given due to the withdrawal of charges by the plaintiff.
Judicial Opinions
Despite deputy judge jriver_15 stating that he would draft a judicial opinion, one was never made. Presiding judge KingServal declined making a judicial opinion.
Extrajudicial Context
On the evening of July 30, 2025, when KingServal joined the MCO server, GlutusMaximus_ made a joke that baltxe wanted him ( GlutusMaximus_
) banned.

This sparked the initial debate on who attacked first in the fight between baltxe and GlutusMaximus_.
GlutusMaximus_ claimed that he had told baltxe that he had a low durability chest plate and that baltxe then followed him around trying to attack him.
KingServal went on to tell GlutusMaximus_ that baltxe is a Socorro resident, implying that there should have never been a fight between the two of them. It was then that GlutusMaximus_ claimed self-defense.
KingServal demanded that peace is made or this incident will be sent to the Socorro Supreme Court for review.
It was then that GlutusMaximus_ stated that he would never attack a Socorro guy. 
Hyperluminous would interject and state that he was attacked by GlutusMaximus_ earlier that day, even though Hyperluminous is a Socorro resident and foreign ambassador.

It seemed that GlutusMaximus_ did not realize that Hyperluminous was referring to earlier in the day and not during the incident involving baltxe. GlutusMaximus_ also may not have been aware that Hyperluminous was a resident of Socorro.
After that, GlutusMaximus_ continued to claim that baltxe initiated the fight. KingServal asked baltxe to explain his side of the story.
baltxe claimed that GlutusMaximus_ started the fight and then started to run away, prompting baltxe to tell him not to run.
GlutusMaximus_ denied running away and said that the fight started at spawn. Then, he was getting attacked at the Nexus after stating his armor needed repairs and that he was going to Socorro to repair it. He said that baltxe kept following him around and attacking him. Then after some time, they made it to the brick house at Socorro where GlutusMaximus_ used end crystals in PvP against baltxe.
KingServal asked baltxe if he attacked GlutusMaximus_ in Socorro and baltxe responded “Yes, but self defense”.
GlutusMaximus_ also stated that baltxe stated that he recorded the fight so that GlutusMaximus_ could get banned.
At that point, KingServal asked baltxe if he could share the video with him in the Socorro discord server. It was then this officially turned into a Socorro Supreme Court case.
Extrajudicial Statements
Statement from Hyperluminous:
- “A few days ago GlutusMaximus_ attacked baltxe and had him trapped at /warp maze. Being that baltxe is a fellow member of the Black Starwalkers, Ervoss and I had to go defend him. Despite calling in a favor, which GlutusMaximus_ owed me from when I voluntarily gave him my player head a few days prior, he did not relent. However, in the end baltxe was able to escape and no player was killed. The day of this current incident, however, GlutusMaximus_ attacked me at Nexus Central because I defended baltxe the other day.”

Juror Instructions
Juror instructions (also called jury instructions or instructions to the jury) are the official guidelines given by the judge to the jury at the beginning, during, and especially at the end of a trial. These instructions explain the law, how to evaluate evidence, and the standards the jury must use to reach a verdict.
Legal Counsel

Motion to Withdraw
A motion to withdraw is a formal request made to the court, usually by an attorney or a complainant, asking for permission to withdraw from their role in a case or to withdraw something they previously submitted (like a complaint, charges, or a motion). The exact meaning depends on who is filing it and what they’re trying to withdraw.
Plaintiff
A plaintiff is the individual, or collective, that brings legal action to the defendant.

Prejudice
With Prejudice: When a case is dismissed with prejudice, it means the matter is closed permanently and cannot be brought back to court. This type of dismissal usually happens when the case has been resolved on its merits or there is a serious legal issue that prevents it from being refiled. It is a final judgment.
Without Prejudice: A dismissal without prejudice means the case is temporarily closed but can be filed again in the future. This often happens when there’s a procedural error or more evidence is needed. It preserves the right to bring the same claim or charges again later.

They are also known as the head juror, a foreman, or foreperson. In this specific case, Hyperluminous was appointed as presiding juror by judge KingServal & deputy judge jriver_15.
For example, in a criminal trial, the presiding juror would be responsible for leading the discussion among the jurors and making sure everyone has a chance to express their opinion. Once a verdict is reached, the presiding juror would announce it in court.
It's important to note that the presiding juror does not have any more power or influence than the other jurors. They are simply responsible for facilitating the discussion and communicating the verdict.
