Mr. Harrison's PK Appeal

[Guitar Guy]

Name of Character: Johnathan 'Johnny' Harrison

SteamID: STEAM_0:1:90879973

Date of PK: 6/9/21

Reason for PK: Wasn't told by recoil but "Suicide off roof" is what i was told by another admin

Why should you be unPK'd?: My side of the story is this morning when i was on, me and two of my boys JJ and Kareem were chasing a punch minge white shirt who ran into the imperial. After reaching the top the white shirt jumped to a nearby building parkouring his way away like a god. After realizing he would not be able to be caught we gave up and started to walk towards the door on the roof. As i was walking  i held down the W and A key making me walk in a diagonal direction. This grouped with my game freezing for 2 or 3 seconds (making my character continue to walk in the same direction they were last pressed) caused to me fall off the roof and hit the ground. Afterwards i went about my business chilling at city hall and laughing about the situation with JJ and Kareem. I was NOT brought to a sit afterwards, there was NO PK message. I think its stupid that someone would think i would suicide PK myself when i have so much that i have built with my character just to throw it all away. This is just a case of recoil flying around and seeing me fall off of a building and deciding to PK me. The only info i got about my PK was when i logged on 30minutes ago and had my char banned. This made me call an admin and Isen told me that i got PK'ed for suicide by recoil. I don't think i should be PK'ed due to server lag. <3

If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: Didn't clip it on shadowplay bc at the time didn't think i would have needed to clip me lagging as evidence lmao

Hello, Just so you are aware I was not flying around in no clip when you were on the roof, the video I am about to provide was actually sent to me from another staff member who was not the proper rank to PK so it was passed upon me, I tried to pull you to A sit but you had then left the server. The PK was not only made from my judgement but from multiple other staff who confirmed that it appears you did indeed make the intent to jump off the roof, rather then just fall off from lag.

i appreciate you showing the recording and as you can see as soon as you turn around i walk in a diagonal direction off the roof all the way to the ground due to the lag spike. If i actually did want to suicide pk myself i would have said something to the people standing around me to further it being in rp and not a lag spike. If i was going to suicide pk myself i would have wanted a message and stayed around to see it posted in chat also. Why would i want to kill myself jump off the roof then leave. Literally makes no sense. I hope you can see why this is far from on purpose.

I would like to point out that in the video, right as he jumps off, you can see visible jittering which is indicative of a player lagging or mid lag-spike. If you slow down the video, you would definitely see the jittering clearer. None of the people around him were jittering in that manner, I believe this isn't just a clientside effect.

I don't believe anyone here is at fault, since from Recoil's perspective it would have definitely seemed like you jumped off on purpose. However, when we play back a clip, we can see details a lot easier than the first time around.
