So you posted this clip, but another clip was given as the reason for the PK. Your actions were mingey in both of these scenarios, in one it appears you bait cops in the water, they shoot you. You then pull a gun and shoot them, yes, not a valid PK. The next scenario you are directly infront of PD and you pull out a gun and shoot the front of PD and get immediately killed. This is starting a violent confrontation with police, a perfectly valid PK the moment you draw your gun, you can't hide behind 'they can't execute me' in this manner surrounded by cops, while shooting the precinct. The only reason I am accepting this appeal is because the PK clip has major issues and is unacceptable for PK usage. Your actions were baitey and mingey in both clips and I would consider your actions in future. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

So logs indicate you did infact tie someone outside of a business in the open, you didn't take anything and 20 seconds later he was untied. You did not participate in the faction's drug racket and no evidence was given to back the credibility of scamming. While it is likely you minged and tied the person up ( which is a fail-mug btw. ), you didn't even search the guy and this action was done to a civilian and was not a criminal action directly related to your faction. Your character was new and it doesn't seem you were given warnings before being given the PK orders, the evidence for scamming is minimal going through all of your action since creating the character. After discussion, it appears you were killed for mostly stupid minge shit, you were not warned and your actions and reputation would be considered that of an entry level employee being as they could not prove illegal actions in direct relation to their faction, no faction drug racket use. I will be accepting this appeal, however all IC information about your criminal faction is void and your character will be reinstated in the civilian faction. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

Ban has long since expired, further on the clip given you try to fear RP a non immobilized vehicle, running directly Infront of it before shoot the driver. Look up the person you killed, it does not seem like they were in violation of NLR and you did leave within a 15 minute cooldown. "the car must be completely immobilized, either pitted, unable to move or in a parked and blocked position. FearRP does not apply to individuals in a moving car. Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.

Hey there, you were under fear RP and ignored command blatantly, said fuck you and ran and got yourself killed. This is a valid PK, further you have long since deleted the character making it unrecoverable. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.

This character has been deleted and makes it unrecoverable. Further you were part of a group who fail-mugged in a yellowzone infront of clothing store, you must initiate and pull to a redzone you cannot mug where you stand in a yellowzone. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.

Who's the most infamy(ous) shadow don?
4Lights replied to KingJewMonaclu's topic in General Discussion
"Prostitution, loan-sharking, numbers. The kid liked to wet his beak in everything." It's either Vincent Gigante or Anthony Salerno. Gigante according to his lawyer and his doctors had an IQ said to be 70-80 with 20+ visits to various psychiatrist facilities with dementia linked to organic brain damage. In 1981, Philip Lombardo was said to be in poor health, so he named Vincent "The Chin" Gigante as the 'boss' and Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno as the 'front boss' and underboss to confuse law enforcement. Leading to 1985 mafia trials where Salerno was sentenced to 100 years. Media portrayed him a the defacto boss of the Genovese Crime Family at the time. In 1990 Gigante was indicted under murder and racketeering charges and famously attend court in his pajamas or his bathrobes and argued the insanity approach. He was convicted still, he was routinely given up as part of investigations as the boss, by even his own family. Rival families gave up his name as an open secret that he was infact the boss and Anthony was the 'front boss' he was even rumored to be given the 'capo di tutti capi' the "Boss of All Bosses" told by other mafioso's after he was incarcerated. He was said to rule through 'committee-style leadership' with many of his decisions and leadership of Genovese Family ruled by a 'panel' of made men, who continued to do so after his conviction, with his direct input being vague in both cases. Leading to either Gigante through is mental incompetency or Salerno for taking a 100 year conviction for being don, as being the most infamous shadow dons. -
Hey there. You were PKed for 'raiding government property multiple times and boasting about it through advertisements'. I would reflect upon this behavior, but this PK seems valid. Further you have deleted the character making it unrecoverable. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.

This is your first offense, so I will reduce it to 11 days ( effectively unbanning you. ) Although, I 100% believe, you did what you were accused of. You have multiple characters crossing with both of the people you mentioned, you added both of killem's characters to the same bank and I genuinely think you guys were abusing mechanics and talking about it in a 3rd party chat. Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The ban will be reduced to 11 days.

Hey there. I was the one to unpk your character last time as the person involved was deemed a mugging character. It's reasonable enough to assume you knew exactly what was going on the moment they pulled guns, which coincided with you trying to run away. In that decision you made the choice not to comply, in between that is 8-9 seconds and you seeing two guys directly pointing guns and yelling at you. The defense that you they didn't give you enough time here isn't valid and isn't reasonable after watching the clip. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.

As Monaclu said. You must know that the arrest would lead to felony charges. Further, you tell Senior Officer Jamal Babatunde to 'go away', he does. So you can shoot the other officer. This is fail-corruption as you and Mr Babatunde's mains are both in Supreme. Leading to an unfortunate PD blacklist for Jamal. I will be denying your appeal given all that has been said.

You admit to the actions and that is commendable. If this was a longer ban it is possible you'd have been reduced. However, the ban is up in 6-7 hours. You've gotten 3 notes and started playing in November. Therefor this is a reasonable ban and your appeal will be denied. Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.

Removal of the comp command, and harsher punishments for RDM
4Lights replied to adam's topic in Suggestions
There are too many people who come to just 'fuck around'. Getting rid of it is counter-productive and will cause a great deal of upset players, I'd be upset if I got rdmed and was told no comp. People would claim bias, make staff reports and discord tickets and become a tedious rage farm. Getting rid isn't going to help rp. It'd promote negative behavior from a subset of the gmod population, 'i RDMed that guy with a class 4 dude! i killed 5 people with guns with my knife!', are we forgetting the most popular gmod videos are troll videos.. Guns are tied to players direct time, the time it took to get said item. For a new player this can be much greater, thus punishing new players exorbitantly and promoting bad play. There are many times a legitimate compensation should be in order, there are many times in low population time. People get RDMed, people don't get comped, or god forbid someone doesn't have medal running the background. The command has provisions, if someone gets a gun, its not a new gun. It's a gun they PREVIOUSLY had and it goes through a staff review process to deem if it's legitimate. It's not adding anything that wasn't there. In the few times it's used where it shouldn't be, it's either a mistake, staff abuse, or a common sense sympathy compensation. ( again not adding anything that wasn't there before. ) Further, the compensation command only compensates 1 random item, can't be spammed and can still lead to a net loss. What is best for players? Letting people lose their hard earned guns and their time, because rp? They needed to be MORE careful?! It's better for the economy this way? People would rightfully be pissed, feel cheated and it'd turn off a lot of people. -1 -
Hello, while I empathize with the situation and friends have made it clear how much they appreciate and care for your RP. The major issue here, is you didn't inform or contact staff when this happened; you connected an hour and 40 minutes later, deposited your stuff and went on. You didn't make a ticket at such a time either. The clip provided can't definitively say whether you disconnected, as part of client side bug or a user disconnection. To point out, you do move after gunshots and typically logs will show differently for cases of a crash or a timeout. The convenience of crashing at that exact time can't be ignored and you have failed to provide enough evidence for you defense. You state you had a thunderstorm and wifi kept going on and off, implying you should have had wifi at some point or access to the internet, to make a discord ticket or to inform staff in any way; even just when it came back on. Secondly, you state this has been a recurring issue with gunshots. Which means you were aware of the issue, which means you took the risk of playing with the possibility of a crash. ( and the consequence's thereof. ) The area you were mugged is also a red zone or a 'mugged where stand' zone. Meaning you were fair game. I have also investigated the user and it can't be proven they are a mugging character at this time. I can understand the gesture, you'd give back the items they'd have acquired mugging off of you. But you didn't actively attempt to do so, until your character was at jeopardy. Effectively rolling the dice. This is the clip provided https://screenapp.io/app/v/7xDb8JxsP2 and with the logs attached. I must deny the appeal at this time.
