==Imprisonment Rules==

Vigilantes and Criminals alike are permitted to imprison captured hostile Characters within their Clandestine Bases, Keeps, and Rental Regions, as long as a sufficient cell area and-or guards to roleplay with them are available. Captors should show courtesy of releasing someone within 24 hours of imprisonment unless there is a planned and agreed ransom or the player desires to be held for longer. A prisoner can file a Discord Ticket if they feel they are being held unjustly or for too long to ask for mediation. A captor can file a Discord Ticket if they feel that a prisoner is ignoring Fear Roleplay or behaving generally irreverently towards their captors. It is the captor's responsibility to maintain clear communication. Please be polite.

==Enforcement of the Law==

On Massivecraft, general 'punishments' and 'enforcements' of the laws should almost always be done off-screen unless the player specifically wants to do that kind of RP. In any case where, for example, a Knight catches someone breaking the law, they are expected to hand off the actual punishment to an off-screen NPC Metropolitan Member. Below is a list and explanation of what the Metro Members would do for each crime, and players can talk about how their characters paid their fines or served their times, etc.

* '''Theft:''' When the Metro handles Theft, they generally impose a fine for petty theft, and prison sentences for stealing large amounts of goods, family heirlooms, and irreplaceable items. Punishments are reduced if the stolen objects are returned to their owners.

* '''Magic Casting:''' Magic casting almost always involves the Metropolitan just fining the caster. Note, that the Metro does not discriminate between Sinistral, Radiant, Dragon Magic, etc, and the only exception that it considers 'not magic' is Unionist God Magic. Magic Casting used to harm others is judged under violence and assault.

* '''Violence and Assault:''' Attacking others usually involves a fine, public humilitation, or a prison sentence depending on the severity. Note that the Metro does not punish individuals for fighting to just defend themselves, but, does punish individuals who inflict excessive harm onto their attackers.

* '''General Low Law:''' All other Low Law infractions not covered are generally just fines, community service, public humiliations, or short prison sentences. Repeat offenses to a severe degree may require Lore Staff Intervention. Individuals who are caught after many repeated offenses require consultation with Lore Staff onw hat to do. Please make a ticket in RP Comm discord with the character captured, and under what circumstances they were captured.

* '''Occult Law:''' Individuals who are infected with Cahalism, Geist, or Vampirism are expected to be cured by Players, and usually subjected to a short prison sentence to help prevent re-infection. Undead, Marken, and Spirits who are caught require consultation with Lore Staff on what to do. Please make a ticket in RP Comm discord with the character captured, and under what circumstances they were captured.

* '''Religious Law:''' Due to the severity of Religious Law, individuals who are caught require consultation with Lore Staff on what to do. Please make a ticket in RP Comm discord with the character captured, and under what circumstances they were captured.

* '''High Law:''' Due to the severity of High Law, individuals who are caught require consultation with Lore Staff on what to do. Please make a ticket in RP Comm discord with the character captured, and under what circumstances they were captured.
