Hello! As explained by Ace you were banned for your poor attempt at Mass VDM. She also clarified to you that on our server, as also stated in the rules, the player does not have to die for it to be VDM. Your clearly malicious intent was to kill people in mass with your vehicle which is VDM. Just because you're a failure doesn't mean you didn't break the rules. 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.

Hello! As explained by Lunar you were PK'd for VCWP! This tends to happen when you try to MRDRM them from a rooftop. While investigating your case I looked into Lunar's logs to verify how he explained how it happened. And a few things are confirmed. He was not on the server when the ticket was originally made, he told the server as a whole to remake any PK tickets when he did connect as no admins were on that could take your PK as the only other admin online had been involved in your killing, and he was handling your PK ticket the same time another staff member was handling your RDM ticket. After taking your PK ticket he went straight from his staff char to his cop char. At which point yes he saw you had the same name as the character who was just PK'd. He should have informed you on his staff char but he opted to do it on his cop char as that was also the one involved in the paperwork to changes a cop char's name. 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.

Hello! So, as already explained by Calink your PK was the result of a VCWP. You decided to shoot a cop, tried to run in that same moment, and failed miserably before being killed for your own actions. Let us go through why it will be standing as is. You bring up Howie's Pk appeal which I also reviewed. If you think your two situations are remotely similar you are delusional. He didn't kill a cop. He shot one when missing someone else, immediately put his weapon away and was attempting to apologize when he was executed by a probie. You executed a cop then were killed while trying to flee the scene in the same interaction. You keep bringing up this argument of "Oh the situation was over". No, it wasn't. You had just shot and killed an officer triggering your PK active time. In that same moment that you try to drive away the killing officer shoots you. You still attempt to flee instead of deescalate the situation at which point you wreck and then the officer finishes the violent confrontation. Just because you turn around doesn't mean you void the confrontation that just happened and does not void your PK active timer. You killed a cop and then failed to flee and died as a result of it. 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.

Hello! As already stated by Winchester you were killed for initiating a VCWP with police and that will be standing but let's get into the whj and your arguments against it. First, you state that because one officer is breaking NLR then it is all invalidated which is simply not true. He did not have the other officers respond, he didn't initiate the first contact with you after returning to the area. You began that interaction with him when you decided to RDM an officer that was allowing you to leave the area. When you start another VCWP with multiple officers around you brought that on yourself. Stop trying to push that blame to others when you made that decision and got clapped for it. Second, you want to argue the NLR break which as already stated is minor in light of your actions. You RDM'd an officer after breaking character to distract him so you could kill him. You pulled a bitch move and got bitched for it by another officer not involved in the NLR situation. 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.

Hello! As with any former UCs PK, we had to be sure all the info obtained to pursue you was valid. No metagame, no OOC obtainments, etc. In your case, your former faction's High Command presented us with the evidence they had and it did not suffice. I want to make clear to everyone - photos that are not obtained in RP (with a camera, a slash me to show using the camera, and the player with their ID showing) is not valid IC evidence. Especially when only proof is given of it being shared over Discord. Furthermore, I encourage all factions to properly record their IC interactions with others when they are obtaining sensitive info such as the identity of a potential UC. Due to your former faction being unable to reach the bar of evidence that UA is comfortable with accepting in cases such as yours, your character will be restored. To make clear, the faction previously involved in trying to kill you now has no knowledge of you and your past life. The same goes for you and your knowledge of them. It's as if the two of you have never met. If this line in the sand is broken by either side, those involved will be given a Diverge rehab retreat. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

Hello! While reviewing your PK there were two main things we were looking into. The first being how the information of your new identity was obtained. While we found no signs of malice and it was obtained validly IC, there were too many questions raised about potential conflict of interests that we had to choose to be cautious in rule that in your favor. Secondly, we had too look into who actually killed you. Rules have had to extra clarified to show that UA thinks doing hits on low risk characters "is gay." This is not behavior we wish to promote so when it was made clear a char with no value to the player did the hit, we also ruled that in your favor. To make clear, the faction previously involved in trying to kill you now has no knowledge of you and your past life. The same goes for you and your knowledge of them. It's as if the two of you have never met. If this line in the sand is broken by either side, those involved will be given a Diverge rehab retreat. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

Hello! While you claim that the cops shot at your vehicle, there is clip to support this claim and logs do not support it either. Your only damage logs leading up to your death are you taking damage from the world. This is caused by things such as drug withdrawals, hunger, or physics collisions! Due to there being a lack of evidence that shows the officers starting the violent confrontation, we will be denying this appeal. 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.

Hello! To go by your appeal point by point. First, when PKs are sent to staff they are OOC. What causes the PK and what comes after are all valid in RP. The sit itself and the report are OOC and are not affected by NLR. Under the logic you try to argue people wouldn’t be able to report RDM because they don’t remember it due to NLR. Second, the officer shooting was not him starting the violent confrontation. You pulling your weapon out and aiming it at the officer arresting you started the violent confrontation. He was quicker to the draw than you, doesn’t mean you weren’t violent first. 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.

Hello! As already stated you were PK’d for starting a violent confrontation with police. This is clear from you being the one to begin shooting at a clearly marked NYPD officer. His badge is in plain view and his crest on his shoulder is right in your face where you were “trying to place your crosshair” which apparently obscured your vision enough to not see the blue name over his head. The next argument you try to make is that the raid is invalid which means it’s all invalid. That is false for the OOC side of things. If you believe it was illegal that is an IC issue and would be handled via the courts not an OOC PK appeal. The question UA had to decide is that if this raid was false enough to be considered fail corruption which would be an OOC factor affecting your PK. We have decided it is not. The officers had a search warrant for the exact location you were located in. They acted on the location that was signed off on by the judge. Anything beyond that is an IC issue. Appeals are not a way to settle or get around IC issues. 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.

Hello! As already explained to you, item transfer will always result in a ban and a PK. It is very easily tracked by us. Due to your admitted dishonesty on this appeal, it will be denied outright and you will face no reduction. 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.

Hello! While investigating this appeal we reviewed the clips provided of both interactions as well as damage logs to help establish a timeline. As shown in the first clip provided by Troubled, and reinforced by logs, the officer in fact began the violent conflict when they opened fire on the vehicle. Whether you were trying to hit him or the car doesn't matter. You take that risk as an officer when you shoot a vehicle. Further more, the time between the conflict started by the officer and the shoot out in the motel is just a couple of minutes. Well within Ghost's self defense period and definitely short enough to consider it the same conflict, not a new separate one started by Ghost's shooting. In the future officer I suggest you be fully honest with your PK tickets and not leave out the part where you shot first. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

Hello! As clarified by your factions command already the orders were not from this isolated incident. I have spoken with your HC and was given more direct examples of the reasons for your death. After investigating we have confirmed they had multiple instances of your actions warranting your death. 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.
