I'm sorry but I think shooting at a big crowd without reason is considered MRDM.

Oops!... They did it again by The Bruno-Scarfo Crime Family

I've just rewatched the evidence, the TM's weapon remained on safety until the moment Trumader drew his firearm, which does not indicate a proportional escalation. At the time, you were 2 (appearently 3) individuals actively attempting to flee the scene of a robbery. Under these circumstances, you were considered PK-Active to members of that faction.

Hello, PKing admin here! First of all, yes, you were PKed because of a failed raid. In the evidence provided to me, it can be seen that a member of an organization is in distress and is requesting assistance over the radio frequency, claiming that his room is being lockpicked. Once the TM arrives to the ghetto, you and your accomplice can be seen masked up, running out from another room towards the fence next to the weed NPC. The TM shouts at you and pursues you to the fence, at which point your accomplice pulls out a gun on the TM and dies. You kill the TM, and another faction member kills you. I personally had second thoughts before going forward with the PK, but given the circumstances and after receiving a second opinion from a fellow staff member, two masked people exiting a room and fleeing only seconds after lockpicking was heard was considered considerable evidence. You being two people also matched the description of the person inside the room who said, “2 people are trying to break into my room” (it’s not hard to differentiate footsteps, especially on wood) over the radio. If this itself wasn’t concrete evidence that you were perpetrating something, your friend pulling a gun on the TM confirmed that you indeed were. As it is stated in the Robbery Rules: “If you are killed during the robbery/raid, it will result in a PK.” Best of luck on your character appeal.

I would like to point out that I joined Takahashi-Kai after this PK, and I have not stated any opinions on the matter. If I would've been biased, it would have been towards you in this case as I opted to refund you your weapon due to you being "afk" on their property. No matter in arguing on this anymore, leave it up to UA to decide.

No.

I'm the staff member who unknowingly took the RDM ticket of the person who PK'ed Akira. In the clip I was provided, the person was sitting on the dupe of The Garrison, was asked to leave both in chat and in voice multiple times and was killed after he didn't respond. I opted to refund the person his firearm due to him being AFK at the time of his killing but opted not to punish the attacker. I was also present in the sit where he asked Shauning questions regarding his PK as there were no UA to take the in-game ticket at the time. While it won't be appropiate for me to comment on the overall situation, due to me being stafflocked I had the time to fly around for hours and saw a considerable amount of Russian people standing out of The Garrison.

Hello, I am the staff member who issued the punishment. A report was submitted stating that multiple stop sign props had been placed. After teleporting to the location, I saw a large number of stop signs along the sidewalk, extending from the Blue Lobster to the end of the street. I proceeded to remove the props and then teleported you to a sit. I also checked your notes and saw an extensive record related to PET abuse. Based on this history, I made the decision to remove your flags. While you seem to have realized your mistake, the final decision will be up to UA.

I was going to recruit this guy into 14K

Hello, I'm the staff member who issued your punishment. When the player initially reported you, I brought you into a sit after reviewing the evidence presented to me. During this, you openly admitted to committing RDM. I considered your honesty and cooperation, which is why I thanked you for your honesty and issued a note rather than a harsher punishment and ensured the affected player was compensated. However, no more than five minutes later, the same player submitted another report, claiming that you had committed RDM again. Upon reviewing the clip, it was evident that you continued to follow the player despite receiving multiple warnings, which appeared to be an attempt to provoke or bait a reaction. When questioned about this during the second sit, you stated that you were responding to a radio call and heading to your apartment. Based on the evidence available, I did not find this explanation to be credible, and reviewing your side of the situation which you previously claimed that you did not clip, it is obvious that you lied to me in the sit and you were not called on radio to your apartment. Additionally, your record shows three prior punishments related to RDM, which further supports the decision to escalate the consequence in this instance. That being said, I do believe you were honest during the initial interaction, and it is possible that your actions were influenced by frustration after the earlier report made against you. While this does not justify the behavior, it provides some context to the situation, I would not have any objections to you being unbanned. Best of luck on your appeal.

+1 Anyone who has been around for the past month will know that this user has had prior conflicts involving rules and other players. I have known Andy for nearly two months now, and throughout that time, I have consistently seen his genuine interest in role-play and in engaging with the Diverge community. While he can come across as pushy at times, from what I have personally witnessed, the situations he has been involved in often stemmed either from racism directed at him or from others deliberately trying to provoke him into a reaction. That does not excuse every response, but I do believe context matters. I believe in second, and even third chances when someone shows they are willing to improve. Taking into account his activity, playtime, and continued interest in the server, I believe he would be an appropriate fit for the staff team. Best of luck on your application.

My suggestion was quite literally the definition of what Trak mentioned. Even though it's not a main character you should have some sort of connection to the faction other than asking for a friend in the same alliance to create a char and PK the guy. Takes away the entire purpose of RP.

You are mixing me up with Andy and Marco, I never got PKed, I got kicked out the Discord and the situation got voided over it , if anything it would help me Counter-PK main characters instead of hitman characters. My suggestion doesn't include mugging.

Good point and thank you for the reference, however, in real life those individuals were still part of the organization or directly tied to it, and there were real consequences if something went wrong. On the server, however, what often happens is players use disposable characters whose only purpose is to log in, PK someone, and then disappear for weeks or switch back to another faction’s character.

That could very well be a good alternative to my original suggestion. What I’m suggesting would apply to everyone. Even if you are PK’ing an associate or an intern, the person doing it should still be taking some risk themselves. As an enforcer or senior member, it shouldn’t just be outsourced to a random player who mainly plays a different faction, logs on to kill someone, and then immediately switches back to their main character.
