Donato Miniati PK Appeal

[biclighter]

Name of Character: Donato Miniati

SteamID: STEAM_0:0:424709755

Your Discord ID#: bic.lighter

Date of PK: 5/19/2025

Reason for PK: "killed by cop" 

Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I would've never been PK'd if I didn't make a ticket about possibly receiving a compensation for my car glitching out on a body and blowing up. I will expand on this by providing the clip I took of the situation. I have a full 5 minute clip of me not interacting with police until the end of it. I was vdm'd by some guy in a brown car. I find him a few minutes later and chase him, he plows into a police truck, knocking a cop on the ground. I did NOT notice this, and backed up to chase the rule breaker. In the process I ran over the cop and he got stuck inside of my car, draining the HP of the car and blowing it up, resulting in me dying and losing my gun. I made a ticket to possibly receive comp for the weapon.

This is the Clip I sent to adam: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kk3lIjnNS07qa81qT?invite=cr-MSxxNlIsODUyMTY2NTU

Not only was I not comp'd, I was met with a rotten attitude from adam and a swift PK. He swears that I died to a cop shooting me, yet I had zero interaction with the police until that point. I ran over that cop on accident, not knowing he would get stuck in my car and blow it up. Adam swears that I was shot and killed by the police, which is why he PK'd me. I was not attacking the police, in fact I was attempting to do the opposite, which was to stop this guy from vdm-ing any more people. I know it's not my job to do that, nor should I have. My intention was not to kill/attack any officer, I just wanted the guy who had killed multiple people (including an attempt on my life) with his car to stop.

Here is a video I made to help show what the entire situation was start to finish: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kk61sUWypfh7gPoT5?invite=cr-MSw2TTAsODUyMTY2NTU

My interaction with adam: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kk69HQUIv9o5R0tkC?invite=cr-MSw2cUcsODUyMTY2NTU

I may have spent way too long making these videos but they explain everything for me, I don't want to have to answer many questions in the replies.

Holy shit, my guy got PK’d by his vehicle? I have read a lot of these PK approvals for unacceptable PK’s and this one tops it for me. Sorry that happened to you Donato I’m smh. This is an obvious approval.

Hello! I PKd you because you ran over a cop, and killed him, before being killed by another cop. In the clip you provided in the sit, you can quite literally hear the cop open fire on your car and kill you at 9 seconds in. The reason it shows your ID in the clip is because when the cop opened fire on your vehicle, he caused it to explode, making the system believe you killed yourself. However, that was not the case, as logs display the cop doing 20 damage to you at the exact same time you blew up. You stare at him on the ground for a good solid 2 seconds, before reversing over him. Just because someone else is breaking the rules, does not exempt you from any consequences during your attempt to be a vigilante. I asked another member of UA if they agree that this is a valid PK, and they also agreed with me. 

 

I see your intentions and understand where you're coming from, however the right thing to do was to call staff. I checked your combat logs, and saw that the cop had shot and killed you (also identifiable by the glock shooting in the background as your car blows up). It's impossible for me to believe that you didn't see the cop as he was literally a foot away from you, which is the ultimate reason I PKd you.

I didn't - It was late at night, I had my brightness and gamma turned way down for ease on the eyes. Not only that, but I did not initiate the initial vdm of the officer, so I shouldn't have been shot in the first place. It was a probationary cop who I guarantee didn't mean to shoot me instead of the guy they've been chasing for the past 5-10 minutes. I wish we could've had a full conversation about this before you ditched me in the support call.  

Adding to this you can hear the officer on the ground say at 6 seconds (before I even backed over him) to "shoot at him" referring to the brown car.
