**Chamber of Justice Communique #022b

Justicar's Opinion - The Cloning Cases (Cases 021, 022, and 023)**

The Dark Covenant has listed cloning as a violation of the Articles of Conduct and Reprimand for several years. Over that time the Dark Council and Chamber of Justice have dealt with clones when they were brought forward to them. However, due to increasing competitiveness of Vendetta events and the potential for cheating, the Chamber of Justice determined that a program should be started to eliminate all clones Brotherhood-wide. The three cases above, 021 DB vs Cornix, 022 DB vs Drepo Mcarc, and 023 DB vs Jason Hunter, were all the result of this program.

After the initial "Clone Amnesty" program, a massive IP sweep, another Amnesty opportunity, and a more detailed investigation, these three members remained under suspicion of cloning. The Chamber of Justice gathered evidence and determined there was enough merit to warrant bringing forth charges of cloning against all three members. The members were charged but failed to respond to the multiple attempts at contact - therefore Trials by Justicar were initiated. The evidence for all three members showed numerous IP matches over a consistent period of time, which could not be explained by an ISP issue. Therefore, after consulting with the Hands of Justice, the Justicar determined that all three members were guilty of cloning.

Typically the penalty for cloning alone is fairly light, however all Brotherhood members were warned that any member found to have clones after the Amnesty program would be punished harshly. Therefore, the Chamber determined that all the defendants would be demoted one rank, given a Letter of Reprimand, and three months probation. This punishment will stand on record as precedent from this moment on - anyone discovered cloning after today will face these, or harsher, terms of sentence.
