Law and
order.
Crime has consequences in Oblivion City. This page explains what being wanted means, what happens when you are caught, and how the justice system works from a citizen's point of view.
Wanted
Crimes raise your wanted stars.
Arrest
Officers can cuff you only when you are wanted.
Fines
Citations are charged to your bank account.
Justice
Disputes are settled by the DOJ.
Wanted
stars.
Committing crimes raises your wanted level. Your wanted level is based on crime points: 1 star starts at 5 points, 2 stars at 15, 3 stars at 30, 4 stars at 60 and 5 stars at 150. Stars build up gradually, so a single offense will not send you straight to the top.
White stars
The police have not spotted you nearby yet.
Red stars
The police have spotted you nearby.
Fading
Points fade over time when no police are nearby, faster with a high reputation.
Bounty
A player who reaches 5 stars gets a bounty between 500€ and 2,500€ placed on their head.
NPC police
If you are wanted and no real police officers are online, police NPCs will show up and chase you down. Do not count on the city being empty of law enforcement just because the OCPD is offline.
At the reception desk of a police station, any player can view the current list of wanted players.
Caught.
Officers can only cuff players who are wanted. After an arrest, an officer can send you to prison for a set time. Lieutenants and higher can release prisoners early.
While you are wanted, in prison or in combat, you cannot use /tphome.
Fines
Officers can also issue citations. The fine is charged directly to your bank account.
Combat
logging.
Fighting players or NPCs puts you in combat. If you leave the server while in combat, you lose 10% of your pocket money and 2 reputation points, and the Department of Justice is notified. The combat timer stops when you die.
The Justice
System.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) settles disputes between players and deals with serious cases. Judges, lawyers and the justice staff work together to keep the city fair.
Quick Court
Small disputes are handled through Quick Court on Discord. Justice staff open a case with the two parties and a short summary. Everyone can then vote for Party 1, vote for Party 2 or request a full court hearing. Nothing is final until a member of the justice staff ends the voting.
Court hearings
Bigger cases can be scheduled as a regular court hearing. A judge listens to both sides and the verdict is logged and closes the case. A Supreme Court also exists as part of the DOJ.
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Judge | Oversees proceedings and decides cases. |
| Lawyer | Represents players in court. You need the Lawyer Certification (50,000€) and at least a Neutral reputation to take the exam. |
| Justice Staff | Opens and closes Quick Court cases and manages the court schedule. |
| Police | Brings players in for court ordered custody on request of the DOJ. |
Classified.
Not every way of making money in the city is legal. Those activities are intentionally not documented. Find them yourself, and think about the consequences.
