Case: Pending Tomasi Latutupou v. Blogy Wogy (2026) CV 07

[Luke201556]

Good afternoon, if the witness Seige Stormbringer can answer the following questions, we would be greatly appreciative:

1. Can you confirm that, although doing so through the powers bestowed upon them by you as the Minister of Events & Culture to be Deputy Minister. That the Defendant proceeded, executed and authorised all within the project themselves?

2. Did The Defendant ask for your approval for the project before it was executed?

3. Was this done through official documented channels? i.e Within a documented or documentable (text) discord channel within the Ministry of Events & Culture or within The Official Channel of communication between the Ministry Of Urban Development and the Ministry of Events and Culture.

4. Had you been given prior warning by the defendant that the building used within this project was neither constructed nor designed by the Defendant?

5. If you had been told as such, had you at any point prior to the pasting of the aforementioned church, asked the Defendant who was supervising the pasting of the aforementioned structure, if they had gained permission from the Plaintiff to do so?

7. Had at any point prior to this, if the previous question was affirmative, The Defendant reassured you that the Plaintiff had been explicitly contacted and had given approval?

8. Had the Defendant during the course of the project implied or otherwise stated that they intended to keep this project as a permanent structure not just a temporary structure, as presented before the “pasteor” (being the admin supervising the pasting) of the build?

9. Prior to this build being pasted, had the Defendant, to your knowledge as minister, notified the Ministry of Urban Development of this project being pasted and/or requested that, as per The Azalean Sourcing Act, for blocks to be sourced for the project to your knowledge?

10. If so, was it done so via the proper documented channel? I.e Within the Ministry of Events & Culture and the Ministry Of Urban Development discord text communication channel.

11. As the Minister of Events & Culture, would you say that the Defendant acted in such a way as to avoid documentation on the project?

12. To your knowledge, did this project contain any written or otherwise solid (i.e something/s that would be possible to bring forward as court evidence or be provided via a freedom of information request) documentation as to its authorisation or that of the approval for the Builds usage by the Plaintiff?

13. Considering the actions of the Defendant prior to and after the pasting of the Build, would you say that the Defendant either lied, had specifically avoided telling you crucial information regarding the project or otherwise misled you in order to get your approval?

14. Was to your knowledge anyone other than yourself within the Ministry of Events & Culture of the Ministry of Urban Development informed of this build pasting prior to the completion of said paste?

15. If so, were they made aware of what the build was, whom was the original designer and if it was authorised to be built by the Plaintiff?

Thankyou for your time, and I once again apologise for the delays

The witness, Siege Stormbringer, is asked to answer the questions provided by the Plaintiff. @W4RP4TH

1. I think I’d been at work (irl) when I was approached with the idea- not paying the closest attention. I give my deputies some freedoms when it comes to making decisions like this- just tell me the plan, more or less. I was of the understanding that the semantics had been taken care of.

2. Yes, and as aforementioned, I assumed details had been ironed out, was told that we had permission for what was going in, and arranged for it to happen with that information I had available to me.

3. I think it was a mix between those, dms, and vc? I don’t remember exactly- it’s been over a month so it feels like years ago.

4. Yeah- that build is famous. I don’t know Tonga very well but I can say with absolute certainty that his build is one of the most beautiful structures I’ve ever seen in a video game.

5. If I remember correctly, I had been told that Tonga had given MEC permission to use the build. I found out later that this was discussed at some point between him and my MEC predecessor Musica? I’m not sure when that was, though.

7(?). I just remember being told that it was all good and permission had been given for it. It was in the time after that there was talk of whether or not the builder had actually given permission.

8. No, definitely not. It’s been told to me by staff and MUD that MEC is able to paste things temporarily for Ministry business like events and such, but nothing is permanent.

9. To my understanding, temporary builds (specifically event-related) do not need blocks to be provided? Since they aren’t remaining in the world permanently, there was no point. Several previous MUD Ministers have told me this. I think the last several events such as the election live-count and the escape room event were pasted without block sourcing, since they were temporary.

10. Not applicable?

11. I don’t think intentionally?

12. Not as far as I am aware. I acknowledge that this was partially my failing as Minister for not being more thorough. I apologized personally to the Plaintiff as soon as I found out that this situation was a thing and I do feel remorse as my lack of knowledge more or less contributed somehow.

13. I’m not sure. In the beginning I was told it was okay to use the build so I approved it, but as mentioned in my answer to question 5 that the previous Minister was given permission to use it, so maybe the Defendant was acting with that in mind?

14. I’m not sure what you mean by Ministry of Events & Culture of the Ministry of Urban Development, but I don’t know? By then I think a bunch of us were in vc so there wasn’t much documentation. I know I asked MUD if we could temporarily paste in a build and was referred to staff so I did that and they did it for us.

15. I’m not sure. Concerns started being raised after the fact, though.
