Carlos Emilio Martinez PK Appeal - TonyRavioliREAL - 07-25-2023
Name of Character: Carlos Emilio Martinez
SteamID: STEAM_0:0:509627045
Your Discord ID#: thealfacious
Date of PK: 7/25/2023
Reason for PK: I jokingly shot at Johnathan Banks, he killed me.
Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I do understand, now, that if you shoot at an officer and he kills you it's a PK. I have 2 arguments on why I should be unpk'd. 1: I didn't even know about that rule, granted that's irresponsibility on my part, I was never informed of that, I thought it was "If officers order a PK on you THEN it can be done." not "In the moment if you shoot an officer you can be pk'd." 2: It was so obviously a joke. I never tried to aim for his head, I even tried to run away, cracking jokes, and as I died, I said something similar to "God, that hurt like hell!" Indicating he didn't kill me, rather severely injure me. I apologize for the harsh language, this matter is just pissing me off. I also understand he was in the middle of arresting someone, which is also why I diverted myself away from the situation, because I realized "Holy shit he's in the middle of a scene what the hell am I doing?" Hence why I started to run away. I eventually came back, and acted like I've never seen the man getting arrested, hence indicating that the encounter, to me, wasn't taken literally.
If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: I didnt save the recording because I didn't expect to get PK'd.

Hello,
I was the admin that oversaw your PK. Unfortunately, jokes or not being informed of the rules don't invalidate the PK. When you initiate a violent confrontation with police and they kill you it is a PK. I don't really know what else to comment on the situation other then that, now while I feel bad for you to lose your progress it is your responsibility to educate yourself on the server rules and also it is a common sense thing not to shoot at cops as a joke if at all. Seems like a pretty bad joke... Anyways, the appeal isn't up to me but this is why you were PK'd.

Actions have consequences. I don't know what kind of intrusive thoughts you had but shooting at an officer, regardless if it's a joke or not, is generally not a good idea overall. While us staff are responsible in guiding the players through the server rules, we are not however responsible in hand-holding players in every aspect of RP, and players should generally know that certain actions may result in bigger consequences than others. Whether you take certain situations as jokes or not does not mean that the other players should also assume that it is a joke.
I highly suggest that you use this PK as a lesson to take time and think before doing something next time, and probably not let your intrusive thoughts win.
Thank you for taking the time to create an appeal. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us directly via Discord.
