Decision Log No. 5
This log details the facts, decision, and individual opinions of the Regional Administration surrounding a complaint of rule breach lodged by a player.
The Facts
- The facts are as follows.
On 8 December 2022 the Soviet player messaged a coordinator with the following:
- page=rmb/postid=50149294
My post pretty much sums up my request to the RA. the player specifically destroyed all evidence of having participated in the operation. Unlike in the past case where there was vagueness and therefore many things could be left up to interpretation, in this case it is the opposite: The player was pretty darn specific in stating "All trace of Union involvement will be removed before leaving the country" and just in case anyone had any confusions he ended with "As far as anyone on Earth is concerned....the Union was never there."
In a sense, this case is both the opposite and similar to the previous case: Opposite I explained above, but similar in the sense that in the past case the player assumed there was a leakage of information, against the RP previously agreed upon by Canada and myself. On this case, players are trying to assume that all evidence was not destroyed despite there being specific mention that all evidence was destroyed and without the explicit input from the players involved in the original RP (Union and myself)
I furthermore conducted my due diligence and followed up through DMs immediately after he posted and he confirmed it there as well, so the argument that it is “his RP, it is his decision whether the evidence exists or not” is pretty much out the window because he already decided nothing exists anymore on his end, now he is trying to revert back. Here’s the screenshot...

Ultimately, any concrete evidence and documentation should only be held in Russia at this point in time. I guess hearsay evidence "this person said that someone said he was in Azerbaijan" or something is fair game, but anything more concrete than that was unfortunately destroyed in the West
Can the RA review?

The player contests the validity of this post:
Final Decision
The contested post is void to the extent that it concerns American provision of canonically unknown knowledge.
Other posts which draw their basis of information from the contested post are also void:
Opinions
- Opinion A:
- Well, what's the American explanation for magically having papers? Because now I'm curious. He said he destroyed them all, and never kept many records of it to begin with, so I want to know where he got the papers from. We both know the US never keeps records they don't want. We still have no idea what the "stealth hawks" that US Navy Seals used to raid Bin Laden's compound looked like...like if the US says they're getting rid of records they don't keep one or two. If the public isn't supposed to know, they're just straight up not going to know. We may not be spymasters but it's common sense.
Opinion B:
- How can he, not keep any evidence, destroy the evidence he didn’t keep, and then leak that destroyed evidence that never existed in the first place. It’s like a triple continuity error.
Opinion C:
- With such an explicit statement you can't imply the papers back to existence. The two players involved agreed there'd be no records. The newspaper post is voided to the extent it concerns American leaking of intelligence to the news outlet, and subsequently any post predicated on that information is void ab initio.
