Verbal confrontations doesn't mean you can just roll up on them and gun them down, you should've at least tried and RPed by verbally confronting them and seeing what they do.

The Problem I have with this framing is that it wasn't a Verbal Confrontation, it got Physical once the weapons where Present which shows they escalated. However I will definitely admit there was better ways to RP this circumstance then just clapping them after the threat I won't deny that. but I still believe when you examine the rules as they are written it's clear I was within the rules, and again have used this exact reasoning in the past during other admin sits with no issues.

It is not a physical confrontation until someone is hit, which logs showed none of them attacking you at the time.

The Rules state a Physical confrontation is when they brandish weapons Or hit me. the Or is what makes it either Mass RDM or a case of me responding to their Escalation.

and when you examine the evidence the reasoning I give fits the category of it being brandishing weapons (even the category of melee weapons) which would justify this type of response.

FearRP Rule 5. For FearRP to apply with a knife the perpetrator must be within stabbing distance.
You may only kill them if they start the confrontation, say if they hit you. But logs did not show you getting hit. Unless they had a gun pointed SPECIFICALLY at you or they were in stabbing distance with a knife, then you may not kill them.
