Think a fine is bang out of order? Don't beg the admin. Take it to court, put it in front of the whole squad, and let your teammates decide your fate.
Kangaroo Court is how you challenge a fine you think is unfair. It replaces the old "contest a fine" flow. The big difference: the admin is no longer judge, jury and executioner. Instead you put your case to the people who really matter, your teammates.
You can only take your own unpaid fine to court, and only when it's still owed (a fine that's already been paid or wiped has nothing left to argue about).
Open your unpaid fine and tap "Take it to court". You can add a short plea, your chance to sway the room before the gavel comes down. Keep it snappy and keep it clean. Once you file, the case is live and the squad is called in.
The jury is everyone in your club except you. You don't get a vote on your own case (nice try). Every juror gets a "Jury duty" notification letting them know there's a case waiting for their verdict.
Jurors have two options, and only two:
This is the bit worth reading twice. A fine is upheld only if the Guilty votes strictly beat the Not guilty votes. Anything else and it's thrown out:
In other words, apathy favours the defendant. The prosecution has to actually turn up and win. If they don't, you're off the hook and the fine drops to zero automatically.
Cases don't drag on. There's a two day voting window. It closes early the moment the whole jury has voted, so if everyone's quick off the mark, the verdict lands sooner. Once the window shuts, the case is resolved and the outcome is applied.
The running tally is public: everyone can see how many Guilty and how many Not guilty votes are in. But who voted which way stays private. No juror ever has to worry about being caught convicting a mate. You see the score, never the names.
Kangaroo Court isn't a "get out of every fine" button. You get one appeal per cooldown period (your admin sets how many days, 30 by default). Spend it wisely.
When the court speaks, that's that. The verdict is final. There's no re-run and no appealing the appeal. Both sides get a result they can trust, and the defendant gets a verdict notification when it's all over.
Yes, but only to keep things fair. An admin can dismiss a case that's nasty, malicious, or filed by mistake. A dismissed case gets no verdict, and the fine simply stands as it was. Admins can't overturn a genuine verdict the jury has already reached.
