Character's name & rank:
NSB-Polizeiuntermeister Felix Reinhardt
SteamID (STEAM_0:X:XXX):
STEAM_0:0:45181085
Staff member who issued the PK (if you know):
My guess is that the staff member that wanted to PK me is the one who approved it, that being Donzoko. Although I am unsure.
Explain why you were PK'd:
Context: Attending a tryout for the Emperors Bodygaurds.
I was in line outside the Pantheon when the Stabsleiter of the Interior and NSB Director went to the Pantheon gate to request permission to spectate ministry members trying out. A CO and NCO of the Emperors security start arguing with them for a decent amount of time. This leads into a huge debacle where they end up debating over each other over permission to access the base, since they wanted to enter as generals under the permission given to them by the Emperors deputy or whatever the rank is. Eventually the head of the bodyguards is summoned to the gate to continue the debate and contest. After standing in the line for 5 minutes and witnessing another 10 minutes of debating I realized that the tryouts would be more than a hour long. I decided I no longer was interested and went to excuse myself from the tryout. I opened the gate and went to leave when they pointed weapons at me and ordered that I leave the pantheon ground and are excused from the tryout(While already attempting to do so). While they were yelling things at me about what I'm doing I stated something along the lines of "I'm no longer interested in joining after seeing this display of incompetence from the division I was attempting to join so I'd like to leave", which I told them just so they know the actual reason I'm exiting the tryout. I slowly walk my way down the stairs and out of the complex when another bodyguard comes to me and arrests me under their commanders orders. I'm put in a holding cell for 5 minutes, dragged into the pantheon into an office for another 10 minutes(All while nobody has told me what the issue is or why I'm arrested). Eventually the general comes and grabs me to then put me in the courtyard in a firing line. He asked why I think I'm there and after sharing that it's due to calling the group incompetent he attempts to say that I personally insulted him.
Why should you be un-PK'd?:
Firstly me calling them incompetent was not directed at a singular person as the Bodyguard Commander attempted to state. I combed over the PK-guidelines and I couldn't find where it said generals could instantly PK NCO's or whoever for calling groups of people arguing incompetent. All while I assure you I was not attempting to act maliciously and simply found out what the division was like, and genuinely wanted to leave the tryout and go do normal RP instead of standing there for hours in a tryout. The standard of roleplay and PK-guidelines dont allow situations where "you said something I'm interpreting as disrespect so I'm going to arrest and PK you on the spot" especially when It was simply my criticism and reasoning for not wanting to join anymore. How would that ever constitute a valid PK-reason.
Additional Information:
I couldn't find anything in the guidelines saying you can PK someone for calling your division incompetent or an "insult", even then there are plenty of punishments that can be doled out for calling someone incompetent aside from murdering them. I could have been loyalty tested, demoted, and/or reprimanded in plenty of ways. It's simply wild the first punishment I've received IC'ly since playing is this PK for calling out incompetence, and surely the standard for the server isn't "you slight me or my division with any sort of mild insult and I get instant PK approval on you". There must be other routes of punishment to promote real roleplay. Even then after they argued for awhile in front of all the recruits why would I be the one punished for saying the group is acting incompetent, and get punished by the bodyguards instead of NSB command? Whole situation just reeks of shit roleplay and in no way did anything I say or do constitute being murdered/PK'd IC'ly or OOC'ly.
The punishment must fit the crime. You cannot sentence someone to death for minor offenses; ie. not saluting [PK}
Punishment did not fit the crime whatsoever, as saying the people arguing are incompetent out loud is damn near the same level of not saluting a superior.
Attempt to resolve the matter using other means which don't involve PKing first, unless it is deemed impossible, and agreed upon by the approving staff member.
There are a million other ways this could have been resolved without immediately shooting for a PK, for stating people are acting incompetently. If anything make me leave(I was voluntarily leaving on my own already) so you dont have to deal with me? That or speak to my superiors about the situation and have them punish me. That or go to my superiors superior and report the behavior, or shit take me to a back room and beat my ass with your fists for saying something you interpreted as disrespectful to teach a 'lesson' IC'ly. It's ridiculous and setting a bad standard for PK's to be the immediate first action when someone isn't acting exactly how you want them to.
Thanks for taking the time to hear my case.
