PK Appeal for Arnold Palermo - eden - 07-22-2023

Name of Character: Arnold Palermo







SteamID: STEAM_0:0:46973366









Your Discord ID#: eden_18











Date of PK: 7/22/2023















Reason for PK: Allegedly shooting and killing a police officer and being killed by another officer.















Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I believe that I was wrongfully PKed. My character was PKed for allegedly shooting and killing a police officer, after which I was shot and killed, resulting in a PK. The member of staff who oversaw my PK did not pull me into any sort of sit until an hour after I had already been killed and was proceeding with my normal roleplay. In the sit, I was informed that I was going to be PKed for intervening in an arrest and being killed while doing so (I forgot the exact PK guideline), although I had never tried to kill or intervene in any kind of arrest. The clip that was provided afterwards was a mostly out of context clip from the POV of the officers who had killed me, where I had shot into the air. No logs were provided afterwards to prove that I had caused any damage to the officer or tried to kill said officer. After this, of course, I was shot by the police. After the sit had concluded and my character was PKed, a PK announcement had been put out for someone named "Tommy Blades" (not Arnold Palermo) who was guilty of the same things I was accused of and was PKed for it. I believe that this was some sort of mix up, as I had never fired upon cops, and I believe that the member of staff who was overseeing the PK was confused, as they didn't even get the PK message right after I had been PKed by them. I don't know how this mixup could have happened, but I believe that the PK was intended for Thomas "Tommy Blades" Balbo, and not Arnold Palermo.






If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: (attached) [attachment=345]
I do not have medal or any screen recorders installed. I probably should begin using it though.

+1, seems like a massive oversight and confusion on the situation is apparent.

+1 I watched the whole situation myself. He wasn't shooting at the cops, or at least didn't seem to be doing so from my perspective. Combine it with the wrong name being put in the PK message and it just seems like this a case of confusion and miscommunication. If the admin cannot get the name correct in the PK message I have to raise an eyebrow at the validity of the PK

Well, the video provided as evidence certainly did not seem like you were "shooting the air" more so at the direction of the officer. Not every staff member has to be present during the scene of the PK, and most likely a ticket was made and taken a few moments after the situation. This coupled with the minor mistake of a name mix-up does not invalidate the PK whatsoever in any circumstance. Just because a wrong name was posted does not mean a person gets to be unPKed. Looking back at the logs and the video provided, it does not look like you were "shooting the air" at all.

[For context, my logs shows my local time as I live in Asia.]
Given both the circumstances shown in the video and logs provided, I believe that the PK is valid, for dying after initiating a gunfight with law enforcement personnel.
