Character Name & Rank: Hauptsminster Stefan Von Braun (Deputy Chief of Gendarmerie)
SteamID: STEAM_0:1:86307126
Staff Member Who Issued the PK: Jimmy
Reason for PK
I was PK'd due to missing my shots during an altercation in front of the Interior Ministry. A junior admin, who has expressed personal grievances against me for leaving the military to join the gendarmerie, attempted to kidnap me. When an officer intervened, the admin (playing as civillian) shot and killed him. I attempted to return fire while his back was turned, I missed. The admin then shot me and initiated a sit, stating: "Oh, if you didn't leave the military, I wouldn’t have done the sit and had you PK'd. You're lucky it’s only a week—I would have had you PK'd forever."
During the sit, Jimmy determined that my missed shots warranted a PK, which I believe to be an unfair ruling. The circumstances, including fatigue from working a long day and consuming alcohol, negatively impacted my aim. The decision effectively removes my ability to lead and contribute to the server in a meaningful way.
Why the PK Is Unjust
Potential Staff Bias: The junior admin explicitly stated that his actions were motivated by my departure from his division. This suggests an out-of-character motivation influencing in-character consequences, which is a violation of fair play principles.
Unreasonable PK Basis: Missing shots in a gunfight should not constitute grounds for a PK. Combat outcomes should be dictated by roleplay mechanics, and penalizing a player solely for inaccuracy in an engagement sets a concerning precedent.
Impact on Server Stability: My role as Deputy Chief of Gendarmerie is integral to server activity. I personally revived the 2nd Infantry and recruited 30 new players, increasing server engagement. Removing my character disrupts the command structure, hindering recruitment and retention efforts.
Appeal Request
I respectfully request a review of this PK decision, considering the procedural inconsistencies and the potential for personal bias. If the PK did not follow proper guidelines, I request that my character be reinstated to allow continued roleplay and leadership.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
