Appeal Submission Date: 10/13/2024
Reason for PK: I was PK'd during an encounter at the police station while waiting to be reinstated into the police department.
Explanation of Events:
I have been a member of this community for several years, and my character has a significant history. Recently, I returned to GMod and attempted to meet with a police officer at the police station regarding my reinstatement.
Upon arrival, I was stopped by an officer who informed me that I was not allowed to carry a weapon inside the police station. I had forgotten I was armed while waiting to check my character’s firearms license, mistakenly believing that the license was a physical item. I pressed F1 to review my items and saw that nothing was listed, then checked my hotbar. During this process, I accidentally equipped my AK-47.
As I was attempting to change back to my keys, the officer opened fire on me. In fear of losing my character, I reacted and fired back, stating that I didn’t mean to equip my weapon. Despite my attempt to communicate, the officer continued to shoot, leading to my PK.
Conclusion:
Given the circumstances of my PK, I respectfully request that you reconsider the situation. I believe that my character's actions were not malicious but rather a misunderstanding during a high-stress moment. I would appreciate the opportunity to bring my character back into the community.
Thank you for considering my appeal.
