K89 Violation Reports
This is where we get and pick up cases. Only battle reports and Guard case updates go here.
K89 Violation Chat
This is for additional information, clarification, or discussion about cases.
K89 Decrees Only
This is for Royals and Guards only. ONLY Decrees should be posted here.
Case _you_ // _attacker_ vs _defender_ // _best guess at the offense being reported_ // Investigating // _date_ @_time_ _timezone_
Example: Case RK // badguy vs noobsauce // Illegal attack on protected CGC // Investigating // 3/15/23 @1333 CDT
Now that you have a case, look at the BR. Do you know how to read them? Learn to know and love the “show details” tab – that will get you what you need in most cases. Who attacked whom? What was attacked? When was the attack? Where was the attack? Why was there an attack? How was the attack made? Ask the basic investigatory questions – and feel free to ask the victim whatever you like for clarification in PM. Once you have confirmed (or denied) a case to your satisfaction, you have a few options.
Is it too soon to take? Less than the combined 24 hour contact period? Suspend the case.
Case RK // _attacker_ vs _defender_ // Over might attack / Too soon for Guard to consider. Case suspended without prejudice until personal and diplomatic contact periods have expired, at which time it may be re- presented to the Guard if still necessary. // _date_ @_time_ _timezone_
Is there not a valid offense? Dismiss it.
Case RK // _attacker_ vs _defender_ // Illegal peacetime attack @ city x___ y___ // _reason for dismissal_/ Case dismissed by RK // _date_ @_time_ _timezone_
If you find an offense, start working out the compensation. Use the K89 Compensation Calculator. I highly suggest downloading a local copy for yourself in XLS or ODS (your preference) and renaming it K89 Comp Calc V 1.2_yourname. After entering in all of the information from the battle report, you’ll see “compensation” highlighted, and you’ll end up at this screen.
0-25% unintentional violation,…
25-50%: first violation, apologized,…
50-100%: no reaction, intentional, repeated violation…100 Enter your weighted offense here. (use whole numbers 1 to 100) (1 being Minor to 100 Full value compensation)
Recommended COMPENSATION v1.4.2
Resource Due(raw value) Due(incl. caravan tax)
Wood……………. 0
Iron………………. 0
Stone……………. 0
Silver…………….. 200,000 250,000“Alternative recommended COMPENSATION v1.4.2
(if silver only)”
Resource Due(raw value) Due(incl. caravan tax)
Silver…………….. 200,000 250,000
Weight of offense is always 100% if it makes it to the Guard. An illegal attack that causes no damage is still 200k silver, for violating the ROE. Attacks on clan buildings, with damage or not, have their own comp table in the ROE.
Send contact letters to the attacker and their diplomat or clan leader, using the comp figures you’ve arrived at.

Those are the form letters I use. Once those messages are sent – then you have something to post in VR, notifying the Guard and those involved that the case has proceeded.
Case Processed:
Case RK // _attacker_ vs _defender_ // _offense cited_ @city x___ y___ // Will result in outlaw decree if compensation of _____ silver inc caravan tax is not paid to __defender__ within 24 hours. Messages sent. // _date_ @_time_ _timezone_
At this point, it is a matter of PMs received and sent. Notification of payment may be sent by the attacker, or attacker’s diplomat – make sure you verify payment was received with defender or defender’s diplomat. If defender verifies, close the case in VR.
Case Closed:
Case RK // _attacker_ vs _defender_ // _offense cited_ @city x___ y___ // Compensation confirmed as paid. Case CLOSED by RK // _date_ @_time_ _timezone_
