Your Character or Steam Name: Israel "Joker" Goldberg | The Oracle

Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:199103270

Your Discord ID#: 363418635470897154

Reason for ban: RDM x1 | POs

Length of ban: 3 Days

Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): The only reason I shot the guy dead in the video is because he stole from the grave of somebody that had just got PK'd who was very close to me, on my own property. I was in an emotional state, and he decided to rob the grave of one of my best friends who was also a Right/Left Hand Made in my faction.

Why should you be unbanned? On the grounds of theft, he baited me into killing him. RDM Bait.

Note:
I am making this post for him because he has no access to the forums for whatever reason. He has asked UA and he was still unable to get access to the forums on his account.

Banning admin here, so your friend was banned as he killed someone over a stolen lobster, as can be seen in the clip. Stealing a lobster is not grounds to kill someone, that is just blatant RDM, he also has 5 previous offenses of RDM so he should have a very good idea of how the rules of the server work at this point. In no way is that RDM bait either so that argument is invalid.

He wanted me to send this image and say:



How is taking something from a respected faction member's grave not a RP reason to shoot him?

I am inclined to agree with Zqrxz in this context given the clip that the appealer has provided there was very little actual roleplay to the kill.

Had he pointed the weapon at the offending individual and ordered them to drop / return the item, giving them the option to react and comply, then killed them if that person refused or attempted to flee; then I would see it as a valid kill, however in this instance the victim was instantly shot without the ability to react, roleplay, or even be made aware they should not touch the item.

This isn't dark RP, a simple infraction like taking a valueless item is not grounds for instant KOS.

I also cannot verify the claim of RDM bait, in the future if you believe someone is baiting make a staff ticket in game to report them, or when appealing a ban include a clip with longer context so we may see other examples of the alleged baiting.

If you are unable to access your forum account please make a support ticket in our discord.

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied.

We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified.
