Your messages to me yesterday were confusing which is why I had originally ignored them. I completely forgot about this until I went back to look at the chats from the ban date. From what I can see, you and friends of yours, I assume yall were IRL friends, were playing on the server and had developed some sort of beef with the at the time Genovese faction. I vaguely remember a coup ticket being made against @Seansx and it was denied. From this beef, you had applied to staff for the sole intent and purpose of gaining meta/staff abused information against them in an attempt to have them all arrested / killed off. From your own words you only joined staff in order to 'get back at those who wronged you'. In essence, once we discovered the use of a private discord that had been used with the intent to metagame we gathered enough proof to justify your ban and the ban of anyone else involved. I then confronted you about it over DMs / VC, whatever it was. In there I told you it would be a permanent ban unless you were forthcoming and simply co-operated with us, to which you denied the involvement of anyone else and later proudly proclaimed "I aint snitching!" Like that reputation matters on a Garry's mod server. Note that your refusal to co-operate was in the end irrelevant since we still banned the other guilty parties. Obviously staff abuse is a brain dead short term move and a severe violation of trust, you also clearly didn't care about the consequences of what you did quote "I don't mind not getting unbanned." In our conversation I offered you a more than fair opportunity to reduce the perma, considering the offence and you refused. In the conversation I also expressed my disappointment in your actions and you expressed both your love for staffing and love for the server, but you made the conscious decision to remain permabanned for effectively no reason or cause. I'm curious, despite you originally accepting the perma and doing nothing to help yourself, why do you feel appealing now is any different? You brushed away the one chance afforded to you to still exist as a member of this community. Why in god's green earth should we exercise any good faith when you couldn't exercise self-control nor the most basic level of decency when caught?

Swapping characters to avoid a roleplay situation is not acceptable. You're lucky I don't extend the ban considering you're recently off a perma. Shape up.

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

Police may search a residence if they have probable cause. If you believe the police did not have probable cause to search a residence then it's something that is handled in character through formal reports or through courts. The Police claim they raided the group at the motel after witnessing them dropping drugs through an open window in plain view all the way from the gas station. This would satisfy probable cause to raid the room without a warrant. Furthermore in the video taken by the Officer your character is clearly seen exiting the room in which they determined the suspects to be in. This gives them the legal right to detain and search you while they conduct their investigation. As for the PK, the Administrator is referencing the following rule: However, in this instance, based on the POV clip provided I do not believe that your faction member Intentionally tried to kill you so you could avoid charges. Consider it bad luck. So I will be reversing this PK in good faith.

Based on this rule the police opened fire. Pointing a weapon at PD cans till be considered initiating if there is reasonable suspicion of intended violence. From your POV you are unaware they are Police and cannot see their badges due to poor visibility. I find the reasons you approached the motel to be odd / not fitting in the timeline well but I will reverse your PK in good faith.

This would satisfy probable cause to raid the room without a warrant. In this appeal you claim However in the clip you provided and the Officer's Clip it's clear you only unholstered your weapon once the Officers made entry. Considering your position at the door and sight line of the Police, their orders to surrender as they made entry and the other individual in the room being wise enough to surrender you taking out your weapon and opening fire was an intentional decision which would have consequences, whether these were cops or muggers alike. It's for these reasons I will be upholding the initial PK decision.
