Hello Vethar,
Sorry for the delay, after some discussing I've came to the conclusion to lift your ban from your account. I came to an agreement this was properly escalated.
You two were getting verbally disrespected by Pearce in the vehicle and you guys decided to follow him, since he was driving at walking pace, you guys ran up and started punching the vehicle which is part of the escalation. Since you can't really damage Pearce you guys roleplayed it out by doing damage on someones belongings (his car)
In the video you provided you started the escalation yourself, you insult them and their reaction is them 'chasing' you since you're driving at walking pace through little italy and they have any right to confront you about it (also because UA and Commission is in the middle of a conflict) now that I looked back at it, to me it looks like YOU (Pearce) were hoping for some sort of reaction out of it, since you did not drive off.
You were escalating it yourself and didn't really make an attempt to get away after you disrespected these men. You could've reversed with the vehicle and went on a different direction, since the guy with the christmas shirt was infront of your vehicle. You backed off and what it looks like to me is intentionally ran him over and said "Ight bet" which was a proper reason for them to kill you.
You insult them, they respond by punching your vehicle after some words exchanged you ran one of them over and they kill you.
Regarding the metagame accusations it's very hard to proof if they were metagaming in a vc which will be looked at. The other infractions they will be talked to about it but to me is to minor to give a punishment for, a nickname goes around the street and more between it
Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted.
The ban will be lifted from your account shortly. If it was deemed an invalid ban, it will also be removed from your record.
