Hi there! Staff involved here. I restricted your character creation, after it appears you had been using it to facilitate money and to a lesser extent item transfer. You were using characters as disposable, typically to mug and pooling any wealth and items accumulated with your friend, any time one of your characters was PKed, it would immediately received a large sum of cash. Either facilitated through creating new character for the specific purpose, to obscure transferring money or through an alt steam, who's only time on the server was used to act as a bank. Either handing out money or receiving money, or shared access to their bank. You, your friend and the alt were banned and char wiped for this incident. You and your friend were restricted to prevent the use of disposable character for the purpose of money transfer. That being said, the mechanic appears have been a non factor for a non donator. As 2 characters, is what it restricted to you. That being said, you just donated, and that you accepted punishment for the offense. I have no issues if they decide to lift the character restriction.

Hey there! The reason for your death as stated by the PKing staff, was a dons order PK. The stated reasons; causing issue with another faction, bringing police attention and getting one of their member locked up.. This is a risk you take when you participate in a criminal faction. Further, you have already deleted the character. Which unfortunately makes it unrecoverable and makes any appeal mute. 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.

Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

Hey there! So after staff discussion, we will be accepting the PK appeal on a few basis. The clip is cut extremely quickly doesn't give enough time for the person to react, the iniation begins almost immediately. It doesn't explain the context prior. The person in question appeared to be sitting and waiting, his last log prior being a couple minutes across the city ordering oil. Meaning he went directly to the spot, to mug in less than a two minutes, which leaves a lot of unanswered question. Further breaking it down, it takes about a second for the voice to transmit through gmod, the angle you approach is through a side angle. Being that it takes a second to transmit your voice, the clip plays, albeit with some caveats, too much like the inhiation of FEAR RP wasn't clear and he didn't have sufficient time to react. He opens and gets into his car, as your are trying to initiate the mugging. Backs up as you are saying you are going to kill him. The clips play: 00:02 - 00:03 - 'this is a mugging you idjiot' 00:03 - Victim unlocks and presumably opens the door ( on door open script. ) 00:03 - Mugger says 'Stand still' 00:04 - 00:05 - If you get in the car I'll kill you 00:05 - Victim drives backwards ( as mugger is saying ' ill kill you' ) 00:06 - Mugger starts shooting and nearly instantly kills the the guy Considering it takes a second for voice to transmit, you can see the issue. You can claim common sense, but he should have a second for the fear RP, to respond to it. In this situation, the start he could be running autopilot. The short clip, the situation prior and potential for metagame, will all attribute to me accepting this appeal. Further while not a mugging character persay. The person involved has a substantial record/ mugging record which was also taken into consideration.

Hello! It appears you have withdrawn you appeal. It is unfortunate but you appear to have been PK'ed ( Permanently Killed. ) by way of Don's order. This is a risk you accept when joining a criminal faction.. By your withdrawal of the appeal, I will assume you have been caught up on the reasoning. The reply from Logan should be more than sufficient as a further explanation. But to touch on it, you were seen in public talking to police, you seemed to have caused 'internal conflict' and you seem to have drawn attention from PD, presumably at another time. So you were killed/assassinated in rp. 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.

not sure why everyone so mad here, this looks great! the cartel de michocan! Where there is no government, and the law exists at the end of a gun, a new cartel rose from the ashes of mayhem in the Sinaloa highlands—La Serpiente Negra. Tomás "El Colmillo" Barrera was a Federal Police commander in 1973, one of the few who had resisted corruption. In the gioco della malavita—the deadly game of the underworld—where loyalty is written in blood, men like him were rare. When Barrera refused a multimillion-dollar payoff from one of the massive cartels, the consequences were brutal. Three days after he passed information to the government about cartel activity, a revenge assassination meant for him struck his family instead. His wife and two sons were found dead in a charred SUV dumped outside their home. At first, there was outrage. Officers cried. Reporters came. But then—nothing. No arrests. No retaliation. No hush money. Just a bitter silence and a sense of disarray. Then Barrera disappeared. For five years, he was off the grid. Many believed he was dead. He wasn’t. He was underground. Barrera had found others like him—disillusioned soldiers, rogue intelligence agents, and sicarios tired of killing for cowards in suits. Men who didn’t want money. They wanted justice. Together, they formed something new. Not a cartel—not exactly. More like a war machine. Disciplined. Tactical. Focused. No matching colors, but a shared purpose. Each man driven by revenge. Their attacks weren’t just effective—they were unpredictable. They didn’t leave warnings or threats. They left silence. Their enemies were dead before anyone knew they were in danger. Their symbol—a black serpent coiled around a combat knife—became infamous, whispered in fear across towns that no longer bustled, where law enforcement had long since stopped showing up. La Serpiente Negra became a ghost force with real power. They now command drug corridors, arms smuggling routes, cryptocurrency laundering operations, and mercenary contracts that span the Americas. They control 80% of all gun trafficking into the United States, and dominate major international drug routes across the continent. But what makes them different isn’t their violence. It’s their intelligence. No one knows who leads them. Communications are encrypted and layered in code. No one knows the names of their captains. Training takes place in sealed bunkers deep in the jungle or hidden beneath city streets. Their reach extends from cartel heartlands to urban warzones. They don’t announce themselves. They don’t show force. They strike once. And that’s all it takes.

POSTED BY REQUEST: ( not my character ) Name of Character: Danny Doga SteamID: 76561199675797353 / STEAM_0:1:857765812 Your Discord ID#: 750377740389056563 Date of PK: 05/06/2025 Reason for PK: mugging Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: they couldnt have known it was me i was literally wearing different clothes after i robbed him and had changed my description it doesnt make sense after i mugged him i took my clothes off and became a white shirt running around then i went afk after 20 mins i put a different suit on which doesnt link to me at all and they still pk me after the 30 mins

This is fairly obvious. You took the gun out of your bank and within a minute, as the cassette shipment crate was counting down to 0. You shot the guy at 1 second. So your friend standing on the shipment could get it. A cassette store version of "Frank Sinatra - Luck be a Lady". You then left the server 2 minutes later. While you may not realize it, this is against he killing rules. If you had placed him under FEAR RP or handled the situation differently. This would not have been RDM ( Random Death Match ). But I think you were just being a little sneaky here. It is also considering LTAP ( Leaving to avoid punishment ), as you recently killed someone and disconnected under a damage cooldown. I realize you have no record up until this point, if you had admitted the infractions this would likely have been appeal or reduced. However, I find it hard to believe, even if it is true, that you could not 'remember'. So on these basis I will be denying your appeal. 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.

1. Yes your friend is stabbed. I may have initially been confused in that regard. You assist in attacking the perpetrator. But end up attacking your friend. So far, this is fine. 2. Cop sees the incident and after some time arrest your friend. 3. Eventually he is cuffed by Probationary Officer Tamino Conley 4. You then swap your character and attacked the arresting officer. 5. After attacking the arresting officer, you are arrested, quickly sign a plea and swap to your Discharge Cop character. 6. You stay on your discharge cop character for 35 minutes, immediately going into the back cell area. During which time you are reported by several other cops for metagame. I was streamed a clip, where you seemed highly suspicious in my eyes. Asking about and doing a bad job at subtly attempting to gain information. In my eyes, you attempted to a spin a story in the sit room, which I believed to false. I apologise if I did not do an adequate job at explaining it to you, or If I seemed a little short with you. But you did break the rules here and I felt you were only upset at getting caught. If this is false, this was only the impression I got at the time. I mean no hard feelings. To recap. 1. Character Abuse, you swapped between characters, directly attacked the officer involved. While previously being involved in the same RP situation. You then attempted to gain information on a discharged cop character. 2. Metagame, you used knowledge from your other character, for your other characters to come in the city; to attempt to directly effect the outcome of an arrest. You were previously involved in. tl;dr - You would not have been on either of those character if the initial arrest did not happen.

The officer must make a reasonable attempt to arrest you. In the context of watching the brown car, I think it's more than possible to miss the officer. Further, you were at a pitted position at the time of the officer shooting. Without any other instructions given, this PK lacks the officers POV and may lack crucial context. With the officer also stating he just shot, because of minge behavior from a third party. I find a reasonable attempt at arrest was not made in this case. Also, I know you touched on this. But give Adam a break, he's doing his best so that we all can have a solid platform to play on, there's no bias here and he doesn't deserve any grief over this or for you to paint him in a negative light. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

Hey there. You have 3 PO's for RDM, 1 for mass VDM and than for VDM/Fail Mug. You have all these bans in the last year. The clip shows you showing a blatant disregard for the person your VDM and the person you ran over for no reason. The mugging is a fail mug and you participated, with your record you are lucky to have no gotten further punishment. On these basis I will be denying this appeal. 4 Days is more than fair. 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 ban will expire soon, you could argue accidental, but it does seem fairly intentional. You have notes and bans for minging/nitrp, avdm and NLR. So it's likely this was interpreted as you continuing to minge and you were punished more harshly. You have only been in the server since march, if you continue to amass a record you will be punished more and more harshly. 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.

It's for both. Expands possible things to do as a corrupt cop, and gives an untrustworthy mechanic. Where you would need to trust the person involved, gives the ability for either party. To cause issues for the other involved.

1. Allow the police, rank locked. To sell select equipped firearms ( on your back items ) to criminals as single use weapons ( too hot to store ). 2. Create a command that police can use to check the serial of anyone who has these weapons on their back. The serial can be checked in the police computer, to see the officer who the gun is requisitioned out to. 3. Allow police to set up busts using this mechanic. As to make it untrustworthy and promote having a corrupt guy on the inside. - If you have an alt in a faction, the command doesn't run.

Hello banning staff here. You were part of an investigation for it which it was found you heavily middlemaned a number of high value items and transferred the majority of your own from your Callaghan character, through a proxy; sharing all of your banks with McCarthy characters, leaving them nearly empty. You took a lot of items from Cannon's original character, transferred many into #Gift or #Locker 1. You maintained direct access to a number of high value McCarthy banks which were used as deposit points. I do not see any evidence of fair market value being paid, I see April 15, the day after Cannon was PKed and the days leading up to to it. You and others simple exploited sharing banks with eachother to move stuff to McCarthy accounts. Example: #62207 (MESO P/E) and #62553 (Texas P/E) your nearly empty Callaghan banks are shared to the following permissions. With others having shared similar access for your McCarthy character. ex; #Gift (OWNER) Ethan O’Connor Eoin “Toasty” Dunlavey Niall Dunlavey Aisling McCarthy Yes it looks bad considering that it could and has hurt Callaghan, if you wanted out. This was not the approach, you can't just simply act as a group; drain all valuables from your Callaghan characters and start new civs using the resources obtained. This is character abuse. This was a concerted effort involving multiple individuals to jumpstart a new faction, throwing away your old characters in the process. With allegation involving attempting to poach members, while maintaining said characters, which could effectively sabotage said faction. Other do it isn't a viable defense, if we catch word of wrong doing and investigation yield results. We will punish accordingly.

Hello banning staff. We have compiled a 150+ document that links to this ban. What it has shown is you assisted in item-transfer before becoming staff. Notably an NOI suit. I believe you took the opportunity to learn how to safely transfer your items, while as staff. Exploiting information learned. You had your friends systematically empty all your old bank accounts and then shared access to those bank accounts with you and your McCarthy friends, on McCarthy characters. Your friends and you transferred large amounts of items of high value items. The day after you got Pked on April 15th, most everyone involved shows up on this day passing items between each other and into select banks. ( some even spamming lobsters to obscure logs ) These select banks typically being a Callaghan bank shared with McCarthy characters. Including a specific 'Gift' bank, which you were added to on your Cannon and your Aisling McCarthy character ( later removed ), which contained many high value items from your previous char. You were straight given other item from Callaghan characters such as your Thomas' suit. Other banks such as Locker #1, had guns originating from Callaghan characters and your dead character. Passed between characters to be put into said locker. Notable items include a Mini-14 dropped and deposited. It was also identified previous to the investigations as a "McCarthy gun bank". With information being provided including dms and screenshots. You and several others, emptied their banks of their most valued possessions into these banks. You appear to conducted a large meth for cocaine deal, a couple days before getting pked and redirected that cocaine. A few webhooks to unauthorized discords were put into these banks. Linking to people involved. The evidence shows you maintained technical possession of your items for use for your new faction and employed a systematic approach to doing so. If you wish to confess your full involvement, it may help your appeal. Otherwise please wait for another staff to respond.

Hey, sorry but this is not a situation, that will typically be handled in a support VC. Please wait for another staff to respond. EDIT: To be clear, because it's an appeal and has been ruled upon already.

There could be a number of reasons. Typically the hitbox isn't the same as the model, here is a full explanation from ai.

Hey, just FYI. The appeal process starts with the banning staff, who responds to why they banned the person and is processed by another staff member without their involvement in the final say. You are actively backing up on this clip, the model clipping slightly because of it. Is not a bug.

Hello banning staff here. From examining the clip, it looked intentional to me. You sped past the vehicle, then went full speed backed up into the car. Even continuing backing up after he died. While this is not always going to blow up the vehicle, in this situation you initiated and followed through and caused a death. You had previous offenses for the same thing and your behavior in the sit, I believed to be mingey and lack any sort of remorse. Simply insisting it wasn't your fault and refusing to take any sort of responsibility for the incident that you caused. You currently have 6 bans and 2 notes in 11 months, if this was a first offense, I would have been more lenient. But considering that, and I don't believe this to be an accident or bug. I think this was more than fair.

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.

Hey, so given the circumstances. You mugged someone who had your F3 doing over $10,000 damage to them. You are revealed several times and you take several photographs with your full name. The clips given, reasonably would identify you. The 30 minutes is only if they do not have their F3. ( 3 Guns value exceeding 10k were taken. ) ■ The person in question, must have repeatedly done something to directly harm you, your family, or another member of your family. Unwarranted Harm in a financial (+10,000$) or repeated physical way, there has to be tangible damages, disrespect is not a reason to kill someone. This also means you cannot PK someone JUST for being part of an enemy faction. Having continued gunfights, scams or warnings about territory, money or other continued violent disputes can cause escalation to a PK. (Be sure to record all encounters/transgressions) Credit Monaclu for flow char below: As this PK had nothing to do with escalation directly, you were simply identified and retaliated against for mugging by someone with your F3. I will be denying this appeal.
