Reason for PK: Breaking Fear RP

Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: During my PK I was sitting AFK on the sixth floor of World Corp. The unknown white shirt was in the video sitting, chatting with the admin, BoomRoasted. As soon as he saw me move he said to BoomRoasted "I can do something now". He then approached me with a gun in hand and began the mugging. After pulling my gun out on safety, he shot me then proceeded to talk. The white shirt said, and i quote, "You saw that, right? You saw that, right? He pulled a gun on me? I got that kill on video". In the video he said "I got that kill on video" which in character is an OOC term. The server takes place in 1987. He didn't have a camera or was talking to anybody. This proves he was talking OOC'ly in the midst of our RP interaction. Although BoomRoasted was in the area, and it could be argued he was talking to Boom, he shouldn't have been talking to him during an RP scenario. It's the same as staff taking a ticket and talking to the guy in the middle of the street without pulling him into a Sit Room.

What he said is valid, as he could have been talking about security cameras etc. The reason I was there and he was talking to be was because he was rolling on a locker, and then said what he did. Your actions during the mugging of taking your gun out, and not valuing your chars. life was a decision you made and have to deal with. My interaction with him prior to the mugging had no affect on the mugging or your decision, it was your decision to take your gun out, safety or not during a mugging attempt.

Why would a civilian without a face mask that just committed a crime boast to a CCTV Camera within World Corp about getting a kill. Let's also recall that he said specifically "I got that on video". Not "It was caught on video" or "They caught it on video." He said specifically "I". Clearly talking OOC'ly in the middle of an RP Scenario.

So you're alleging that the rule violated was "Using OOC terms over Mic, (Such as yelling "thats a pk, thats a pk!" After killing someone) may void the PK entirely. Remain in character at all times."
