Neutral Alright, let’s get real for a second—“Whatsup guys” sounds like the friendliest, chillest greeting ever, right? Like, just a casual hey to your crew, your followers, or honestly, total strangers on the internet. On the surface, it’s all sunshine and fist bumps. But dig a little deeper and, whoa, you’ll find it’s kinda a linguistic booby trap. I mean, we’re all just tossing it out there, not realizing we’re stepping on a social landmine every. single. time. Buckle up, because I’m about to roast “Whatsup guys” harder than a summer sidewalk. First up, let’s break down this phrase. “Whatsup” is just “What is up?” crammed together and mangled because apparently, syllables are for losers. But…what does it even mean? “What is up”—like, the sky? My blood pressure? Your existential dread? Nobody knows. It’s so vague it’s practically a magic trick. Instead of actually caring how someone’s doing, we just lob this word-grenade and hope nobody notices we didn’t ask anything real. It’s the verbal equivalent of a shrug. Dangerous? Oh, absolutely. If our language is this empty, our brains start to get hollow, too. Pretty soon, we’re all just mumbling nonsense at each other and pretending it counts as conversation. Now, let’s talk about “guys.” People love to claim it’s gender-neutral these days, but come on—deep down, we all know it started as dude code. It’s like calling everyone “bro” or “man” and then being shocked when someone feels left out. Sure, most folks don’t mean anything by it, but that’s kind of the problem. It normalizes this whole “maleness as the default” thing, and, sorry, that’s just lazy. Words have power. And if we keep defaulting to “guys,” we’re basically telling everyone who isn’t one, “Hey, you’re just part of the background.” It’s like tripping someone and then blaming them for falling. Not cool. But wait, there’s more! Tone, my friends. “Whatsup guys” has been used so much it’s like elevator music for your social life. It doesn’t spark connection, it just fills the silence. You hear it in YouTube intros, Discord calls, or when someone walks into a party and has no clue what to say. No one actually answers the question. It’s just verbal wallpaper. And the more we use these empty phrases, the more our conversations start to feel like bad improv—everyone playing along, but nobody actually saying anything real. Eventually, we forget how to actually talk to each other. It’s all just surface-level noise, like a handshake with a limp fish. Zero grip. And don’t even get me started on the fake friendliness. “Whatsup guys” is basically the “Hi, I’m totally relatable!” of content creation. Streamers, podcasters, even the dude unboxing phone chargers on TikTok—they’re all doing it. It’s meant to sound warm and welcoming, but it’s just a trick. You feel like you’re part of something, but really, you’re just sitting alone, eating digital Doritos. It’s social junk food. All the taste, none of the nutrition. Do it enough, and you start feeling weirdly lonely, like you’ve talked to a hundred people today but haven’t actually connected with a single soul. It’s exhausting. Last thing—let’s talk brain chemistry. Saying “Whatsup guys” a million times wires your head to be casual, not attentive. You stop seeing people as people and start seeing them as this mushy, undefined group blob. It’s like you’re addressing an audience of potatoes. No individuality, just crowd control. And that, my friends, is the polar opposite of real connection. It’s like being at a concert where everyone is shouting, but nobody’s really listening. Welcome to the age of performative socializing. Woohoo, I guess?

Whatsup guys

Denied. A PK is not an administrative punishment like a ban, it's an in character consequence for IC actions. PK appeals are not accepted simply because you apologise or regret the situation, especially when those actions clearly put you subject to the PK guidelines. In this case, you admitted to breaking Fear RP by pulling out your gun while you were under gunpoint and were going to get arrested, which directly led to the PK. That alone justifies the outcome. You also mention that you were trying to ask an OOC question and did not recognise that someone was attempting to initiate RP. However, pausing or disregarding RP whenever it's inconvenient is not acceptable. If you have an OOC question or need clarification, the correct procedure is to make a ticket in game so staff can assist you. Furthermore, someone trying to arrest you is not "Fail RP". If you believe a rule is being broken or the situation is improper, you should report it by making a ticket in game and staff will handle it. You should not escalate the situation by drawing a weapon or refusing to engage in roleplay. While I also appreciate that you're new to the server, the rules apply equally to all players. Your time invested in your character and your intent to follow the server rules are noted, but they do not undo the consequnces of the IC actions you decided to take.

I did not mean to FearRP and I just want to RP next time properly as this is my only character in this server and hope not to lose it and not play overall as all my time is in that one.

I understand and have read guidelines, I was wondering if it possible to apologize and get a warning and move on from this event.

Hello, and thank you for submitting this PK appeal. I’m the individual who made the ticket that led to your PK. To provide some context: you were near the Landespolizei station during a civil war where everyone was shooting at eachother. At the time, you weren’t displaying any hostility nor were you carrying a weapon, so rather than shooting you down, we opted to arrest you as a less severe response. You were clearly instructed to stop moving and warned that any reckless actions could result in your death. Despite this, you chose to draw your MP40 and attempt to engage us, which led to you being swiftly gunned down by an Unterfeldwebel from the KG. Even if you believed the arrest was unwarranted (which, to be clear, it wasn’t), FearRP still applies. In the given situation, there was no reasonable scenario in which the risk you took would be in compliance with FearRP rules. Please take the time to thoroughly read the server rules and PK guidelines to avoid losing your character to situations like this in the future. Unfortunately, I don’t have the clip myself, as the KG member who killed you was the one who recorded it. Layheeee should also have the footage and may be able to provide it.

This will be approved. Your PK was not a vital aspect of RP, you are being respectful and kind, and you seem willing to learn. As I said, as this was not vital to RP or the server, and as you are of lower rank and the situation was not a vastly important one, the server would not be affected by this, I don't see an issue in giving you a freebie. Coffee is an asshole.
