[TroubledGhost]

Name of Character: Howie Hoang

Character ID: dont remember

SteamID: STEAM_0:0:90789839

Your Discord ID#: rufie.

Date of PK: 1.1.26

Reason for PK: cop death - I was offline at time of PK but spoke with PKing admin over discord.

Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: 

So essentially from my perspective, I was firing a warning shot at a guy from hardware rooftop - and by warning shot a leg breaker at Derek Caputo. After the shot everyone started running towards hardware including two cops (larry and the PKing probie). It seems I missed acccording to a lad with me  iron sights suck (but skill issue is the real cause ;-;)

The probie then gunned me down immediately with no dialogue whilst I was just about to have a dialogue with senior officer larry and derek who was coming up to rooftop to be the negotiator [for some reason HAHA]

(the probie asked larry "can i shoot him" and then just shot me without any confirmation by larry. When he said "can i shoothim" Immediately i was hovering over the gun incase he did whilst i was hugging the wall to hide the g3 gun on my back). I was trying to get out of it by complying and talk my way out of it (as in my head I thought they're detaining me and the guys on the rooftop but larry was talking about jumping off the roof top so was like oo chance to escape and they werent aware of the case).

But the probie immediately gunned me down and then PKd me after I logged off later on. I gave him the benefit of the doubt cos he was new and its new years so didnt report him for RDM, but when offline the Pking admin (Moon) messaged and we briefly talked about the case - she made me aware the shot hit the probie instead accidentally. Which I wasnt too aware cos i wasnt aiming at him and waited to isolate the guy, hence surprised I was Pkd (and definite cross fire) the gun mustve had wacky recoil for it to hit him. Nor was I an active threat whatsoever and being fully compliant, I was NOT targetting the cop etc.

 

But even if it was the case there were a couple other people with me on rooftop so how did he know it was me ;-; point being it was quite the cross fire and insta gunned me down and coincidentally turned out I was the one who got him in the crossfire out of 2/3 people.

Twas crossfire  Moon said that on the logs it looks valid which i understand but tryna an appeal in case i can get my char back given the wacky circumstance. 

If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines:

I managed to get a clip but sadly only managed to salvage just after the shot being fired cos i clipped it far too late it seems like..

Hello! 

I'm the Pk'ing admin! Yes I did talk to troubled ghost and I did encourage you to appeal cause I felt like something was off but was unable to get either logs proof or clip proof. While shooting the person it could be that you shot the cop, or simply the bullet ricocheted and then struck the Probationary Officer. From the logs and clip it seemed like a standard violent confrontation with police, especially cause the cop managed to respond about 30 seconds later. Unfortunately the probationary officers clip was not clear at showing me that you did not have a gun out and were no longer an active threat- hence why the other officers didn't react; that was negligent on my part and I do apologize.

Nothing to apologise for! It's the new year and everyone was busy parting and stuff. things happen non the less.  Thanks for taking the time to respond Ace - hope you had a good holiday.

Hello! As Ace already stated you had clearly already made yourself no longer a threat. I was able to corroborate this account of events from the Senior Officer present and listed in your appeal as well. In the future, be careful with your "warning shots". The officers could have reacted to the shot sooner and it would be valid or you could have faced staff punishment for RDM.

Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted.

Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.
