Character's name & rank: Amtmann Waffels Wilhelm, MoP
SteamID (STEAM_0:X:XXX): STEAM_0:0:65488
Staff member who issued the PK (if you know): Coffee
Explain why you were PK'd: I was flying a helicopter I had built myself for the demonstration of the Herald, who had authorized me to do so, because he was curious about its capacity/capability after seeing one get shot down earlier. I asked him if I could show him how it worked, and he said sure.
We started the flight in the airfield after making an advert about the flight itself, announcing the Herald's interests in it.
Why should you be un-PK'd?: I had absolutely no idea I would get shot and PK'd for landing after the Herald said it was alright, I thought he had the authority to say that. Originally, I was going to land in the Lichterfeld's concrete flatland.
My interests in landing on the lawn of the Pantheon were solely to make for good roleplay, as I thought it was the Herald's authority to allow me to land there after he said so. I had no idea the IC significance of the Pantheon and I had absolutely no minge or stupid intent in landing there, I simply thought he could tell me to do that because of his position. He said over and over that he wanted to show the Kaiser this design and that it would be revolutionary in the war effort, so I felt proud and wanted to prove its worth, the invitation was my whole reason.
I had spent a lot of time developing Waffels and I have no intent of ever risking him over something as stupid as this, so please forgive this misstep.
Additional Information: As Coffee said, I DID have a month of time on the server to learn about the pantheon, but the issue is that I never got a position that required me to be there, or involved with it, period. All I knew out of character was that this place was where people would get banned for being stupid and pushing the buttons. I had zero intent of being there without ever having to, because I knew it would have been a stupid endeavor to go somewhere that high profile and expect good things of it without purpose.
The significance of Waffels' existence is in legal matters, inventions (aircraft, tanks, etc), interior designs (the law office, Chan Wei's office) and selling weapons as MoP. If I was aware of the fact the Herald couldn't authorize me being there, I wouldn't have gone there at all, I was just straight executed when I landed.
