First of all thank you for respond and sharing what you know. However I wasnt asking this question specifically about the Popov x Supreme situation. I asked it because despite spending hours and days researching it i couldnt even find any clear rule or official information on the topic. Like you also mentioned nobody really knows the official “ruleset” behind how faction lock is used/works in conflict so I thought it would be better if someone from the UA or Canadian side could give a proper clarification for everyone. Other than that i definitely agree with your points regarding the system being fair ETC. But if we take the Popov x Supreme conflict as an example the lockdown was implemented suddenly and very early without prior notice which meant that some people who were genuinely mains in the family were left outside the WL and cant get back in. If there had been any rule or announcement about this beforehand everyone would have been able to prepare accordingly. (Speaking for Supreme, we dont actually need the lockdown to be lifted at all. If they really want to try their chance with a maximum of 5 people they can try their luck lol, but I dont think that would be fair or fun for anyone involved)

ALSO, I wanted to mention the slot machines. I dont know who came up with the idea to remove them but THANK you.

I have read all of the rules multiple times and paid close attention but I could not find any rule or level information explaining whether the two factions involved in an official conflict enter a lockdown period (hire block and main character requirement) I also asked several long time players who have experienced previous conflicts or wars in the city. Some of them told me that this lockdown is temporarily lifted before the war starts in order to give both factions a fair chance. However I am not sure if this information is accurate. Could someone explain how this system works in general? Why is the lockdown applied? Under what conditions is it removed? Is it true that the lockdown is temporarily lifted before an official war begins? I would appreciate it if someone could clarify and provide more information about this situation.

Hello, Im the person he mentioned as “his friend” This happened a few months ago and I dont remember every detail clearly either. It was my first main character with 600+ hours Andy Fiorentino. As he said we mugged someone and after that we managed to leave the scene safely. Later on i made a mistake and got killed by the individuals friend. After that I was pulled to a sit as expected by Yugi, he explained to me that it would be a valid PK. Instead of waiting around I just took the L and deleted my main character. After that my friend told me he received a character restriction and I asked him about it. He said he didnt fully understand the reason behind the restriction and didnt pay much attention to it at the time. Since this happened a while ago, I don’t have any clips left from it. I can vouch for him without any doubts. If he is given a second chance after this is reviewed and the situation is explained I am pretty sure about he will not repeat the same situation again.

With all due respect, this is completely wrong. As I said, I was minding my own business and walking towards Little Italy through the alleyway. The guy next to me saw me coming out of there, pulled out his weapon and aimed it at me. After that, I interacted with him and he repeatedly insulted, disrespected, and threatened me. After that situation, if I had just turned around and walked away without responding, I would have looked like a BITCH so instead I tried to escalate the situation in accordance with the rules. I threw a punch, but when the other player continued to disrespect me without giving a fuck, as someone who had already escalated, I then retaliated/responded freely based on Rule 2 of the Killing Rules, since my escalation attempt had failed. I dont understand what I was expected to do in that situation. Am I supposed to just stand there accept insults and threat??, and walk away without reacting?????? I followed the escalation properly and responded within roleplay based on what was happening at the time. I never had any intention of RDM baiting someone. I was insulted and threatened in character (IC). Also i asked you on sit which of my actions you considered RDM bait, or I requested a second staff opinion because I didn’t agree with your judgment, but in both cases I didn’t receive any response. Without giving me a chance to report that the other player didn't comply NLR rules, you simply said “if you have an appeal, go make one” and just banned me.

A 1 day ban is not the issue for me, and honestly whether it gets removed or not is not my main concern. What matters to me is that I have been playing on this server for a long time, and I do not want my record to be marked for something I believe is unfair. This is important to me because in the past my record has been a reason I could not become staff. For months I have been playing very carefully in case I might get another chance in the future, and I do not want to lose that opportunity over what I believe is a misunderstanding.

Your Character or Steam Name: Andy "Noir" Moris Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:439522528 Your Discord ID#: xsfqn Reason for ban: RDM Bait?? Length of ban: 1D Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute Why should you be unbanned?: Because it was not a RDM Bait. I was walking from Wright's pharmacy towards Little Italy when an unknown person noticed me and pointed a gun directly at my face. I asked him why he was pointing a gun at me and he replied "Nobody is putting up anything in your face man, "FUCK OFF" If he had answered respectfully, I would have said "my bad" and left the area. However, after being insulted and told to fuck off, I replied with "or what?" He then escalated the situation further by saying, "Or I'll fuck you up man, get outta here." I was roleplaying as a Black character living in the 1990s who had just been threatened and disrespected. If my goal was to RDM or bait someone into shooting me, I would have pulled out my gun immediately instead of following the Escalation Rules. After receiving a direct threat, I replied with "Try that shit" and attempted to throw a punch. As I started walking away, he said, "You missed, retarded." I turned back BECAUSE he INSULTED ME AGAIN. and i replied, "You don't even have the balls to fight like a real man, you fucking nerd." When I pushed his door, he pulled out his gun and SHOT me in the legs. Only after being shot i pull out my own weapon and return fire. I would also like to mention that the player returned to the scene immediately after dying. He came back, interacted with me and locked the door back (because door was left open when he died) and break the NLR Rules. If he denies this, the logs should show that the time of his death and the time he locked the door again are very close to each other. What I do not understand is, if the other player was uncomfortable with the situation or did not want to engage in that type of roleplay, why did he insult me, threaten me, and escalate the situation further? He could have continued the escalation without immediately resorting to gunfire. When I attempted to punch him, he had the option to fight back physically instead of shooting me. If he had chosen to continue the roleplay with a fist fight, I would have accepted that outcome and moved on. Instead of choosing any of those options, he decided to resolve the situation by trying to kill me. Does defending myself and returning fire after being shot really make this RDM bait? I only reacted to the options that were presented to me in character as the roleplay developed naturally. At no point was my goal to Bait someone into shooting me or create a reason to Kill another player. To summarize, he tried to kill me and failed. I defended myself and returned fire only after being shot. Around thirty minutes later, I was banned for RDM bait. I believe I followed all Escalation and Killing Rules correctly and simply reacted to the situation as it developed through roleplay. I want to ROLEPLAY, and ignoring a roleplay situation would make no sense when roleplay is the reason I am here. I am fully aware of the Killing Rules and Escalation Rules, and I have read them many times. I understand that, from an outside perspective, this situation may look like RDM bait, but that was never my intention. As I mentioned before, I was simply minding my own business when an unexpected roleplay situation happened. When I asked the staff member which part of the clip was considered RDM bait, I was told to make an appeal instead of receiving an explanation. I also requested a second opinion from another staff member because I believed the decision was incorrect, but my request was ignored.

4 years for NITRP is wild

+1 looks like a good guy

I was trying to explain the same thing. I hope you didnt get me wrong my friend @Kyle Waladang

Bro, Fail Mug is a completely different rule. The rule we're talking about here is FearRP violation, not Fail Mug. Fail Mug is a specific rule break, not simply failing while trying to mug someone. For example, mugging someone in a green zone or trying to mug someone while there are obvious witnesses around is against the rules and would be considered Fail Mug. In those situations, staff members can punish the player accordingly, including issuing a PK or even a ban depending on the circumstances and the player's actions. That said, the situation we talking about has nothing to do with Fail Mug. It's specifically about FearRP.

My nigga Eugene keeps coming up with ideas over and over again MY GUY is a genius bro +1

DAMN i didnt know any of that bro
