It is okay to transfer if you haven't been in the city for months, that would have been a fine explanation. You didn't say that though, all you said was that you never signed any transfer papers for as long as you (your character) have been in the city. I had to take what was in front of me. As to you not having an attorney, I did ask if you wanted one near the beginnings of the trial. You were in the middle of resigning yourself to death though, saying over and over how you wanted to die so things could end as quickly as possible. A bit of advise though. Even if this PK appeal is denied, you can still very much appeal your sentence with the supreme courts though in-character letters / hiring an attorney to submit the appeal on your behalf. This is why I sentenced you to life in prison and not the death penalty, so you can go through that avenue of roleplay.

Hi, I was the judge who was involved in this case. When I first encountered you and the prosecution on the way to the courtroom, you had already begun to go on that you wanted to commit suicide so this could end as quickly as possible. I asked you to calm down so you can be presentable for the case, but you persisted in saying you wanted to hurt / kill yourself even during the beginnings of the trial. Eventually you finally got control of yourself so we continued. One of the most important pieces of evidence was the confession affidavit you signed, though unlike many other judges I was more than willing to hear your side of the story as to how the confession was obtained. You argued that you were forced to sign it under the threat of a firing squad, and with that in mind I called the prosecution and arresting officer up to question them as to their methods and ethics on this. They denied the claims, and there was very little to support the accusation you made against them. I ruled that the confession affidavit would stay in evidence on the grounds that you, as a commissioned officer, would very much know better than to sign the dotted line which unmistakably marked you as guilty, and that even if you were forced to sign under the threat of death that you were still better off taking your chances with those threats than taking the guaranteed punishment in the court of law. We moved on from that part of the case, and at this point you said you had "no defense." While on the stand, you admitted to having illegally transferred from faction to faction without any form of transfer papers on a regular basis; this included transferring from the NSB to the military. There was absolutely no excuse for this, and it only added further strength to the charges being pressed against you. With all of this in mind, I had no choice but to find you guilty and sentence you to life imprisonment.

Hey dude, I was involved in the incident. We encountered you earlier in the day outside of the fishing pond in the park. We were lightly teasing you and your group when you went overboard and ordered your men to ready their arms against us. No gunfights erupted as a result of it, but you confessed to having given the prior mentioned order though refused to identify yourself. As luck would have it, we found you later on outside of the Vice Chancellor's office with General Brandt and ONE other soldier of your company. I mentioned your behavior to General Brandt, asked for your identification, and stated I had a policing commission, but you refused multiple times to identify yourself. I told you that if you didn't give us your identification, we'd be forced to call the NSB to the scene and have things escalate from there. It was at this point that Brandt tried to make a speedy retreat, and you followed along. I was able to call the NSB and we made it very clear to you that you wouldn't be leaving without identifying yourself to us. You bolted, and we gave chase. Here's a clip of the incident. In your appeal, you're exaggerating and, to a point, lying about your side of the story. The clip shows that you didn't have a weapon pulled at the time, that you were under gunpoint, that we TOLD you that you were under gunpoint while you were running away, and even when you broke line of sight for a literal second did you not pull a weapon out. At the same time when you finally did pull a weapon, your friend started shooting at people at the Reichstag's steps. We were then forced to shoot you and that was the end of the incident. Hope this clears things up for you.

The legality of the arrest itself can be argued due to my branch's protections, but what cannot be argued is that it was clearly meant as a retaliatory measure for my character's arrest attempt against Marlow. The uniform, which has already been explained twice in previous replies, was only the excuse. You were a part of the deserters' group at that moment, and thus you were prosecuted for that crime. There is more to this story than you are letting up because otherwise we wouldn't have had so many people come forward to identify you as a known culprit. The fact that the Interior Minister had to shoot you does say a lot to what kind of actions your character was taking part in at the time.. You were involved in the group that was attempting to lure the admiral away for hostile purposes. The evidence came from the people who came forward who identified you, several commissioned officers and several general ranking officers. The Feldmarschall himself didn't believe you, as indicated by how he asked you if you were involved and decided to execute you. Again, there's no conspiracy here. You had an opportunity to distance yourself from the group by speaking to us, but you didn't use that opportunity. You could have avoided death had you roleplayed the scene properly and spoken with the intelligence officers at the scene. Again, you roleplayed poorly and didn't take anything seriously. I vividly remember talking to you, while you were on the pole, that you would be granted leniency if you spoke about your part in the day's events. You didn't want to talk, so in the end this was classified as a last resort. You've already admitted to taking part in the arrest, and being shot by the Interior Minister for behaving stupidly. If a trustworthy witness came forward and made accusations against you, then the statements taken form that witness are taken a lot more seriously than some random person taken off the street. In this case, it was multiple commissioned personnel who pointed the finger at you along with several general ranking officers. Why would we, when we knew you were a part of the group, wonder if we should go to your commissioned officers to ask if you were involved, when those commissioned officers were John Marlow and his people..? Would they not lie about your involvement like they would lie about everything else? At this point we're repeating the same things over and over again. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like answered, but I think most has already been explained. Thank you.

Hi Skips, that's quite a bit to go through. I'll do my best to answer your argument though. I was taken into custody, your claim that I wasn't is totally false. The uniform I had was cleared by general ranking officer Generalleutnant Norman Baker as was stated before in my previous reply, but the Feldmarschall naturally outranks my superior so I conceded that I needed to change my uniform. It was longer than a few seconds. You weren't really helping me as you say you were, rather you were there more to taunt than anything else. The Feldmarschall had overruled the arrest attempt was a mistake, he admitted as such later on and it was something he intended to rectify with haste. Apparently he was quite overwhelmed at the time, so that was the reasoning. John Marlow and the rest of his gang were intentionally causing issues throughout the day nor was he a superior officer of mine, that is not in dispute, and reportedly they started a gunfight later while we were setting up the war games There was no posing as an infantry officer. Finally, John Marlow was absolutely trying to lure away the admiral. You were with this group of people, no question. For your second paragraph, you were included in John Marlow's group as you were there in the hanger and assisted in my character's illegal arrest. I believe Thone assumed you were involved in the incident prior to the one in the hanger, though I would argue that is more an in-character issue more than anything if it pertains to your case and is a case of mistaken identity. You weren't executed for "assisting his superiors with executing a uniform mandate," there is much more to it than that. There was no devious conspiracy against your character, we weren't all scheming in a room to kill you. You entered a room, you were identified for taking part in crimes prior, and multiple witnesses testified that, without a doubt, you were a part of Marlow's group (again, this included several general ranking officers and commissioned officers). You were given opportunities to explain your part in the conspiracy, to which you declined by both refusing to explain yourself and by not roleplaying seriously. You could have taken this as an opportunity to speak and make your case, but you didn't want to. Thus the Feldmarschall ordered your death without trial as to the seriousness of your group's collective actions. This was a fault of your own, not ours. You weren't speaking out more than just the same line over and over. We had numerous high ranking and trustworthy witnesses attest that you were involved in the group, and you refused to cooperate in the investigation. We responded to you as much as was required. What was "made up in our minds" was that you were involved in the group, again because of the facts already stated. You could have spoken to us on a much more personal level, but you refused to do so. You were apprehended running in the direction of the Kaisergarde base, specifically near the fishing pond.. so, yes you were a stone throw's away from there.. I suggest you reread my previous reply. I didn't say you "may not have been involved," I said, "... you may not have been as involved as some of the other characters." Was your character as guilty as John Marlow, the primary suspect in the whole case? No, but you WERE involved. You saying you couldn't have gotten off the pole is frankly ridiculous, you were very much trying to escape and we had to eventually hold you down to keep you from running off. What you're saying there makes no sense and is honestly dumbfounding. The Feldmarschall gave my character a direct order to handle the John Marlow case and all of his cronies, and that they were to be given the greatest of punishments. The logs will prove you weren't there for the first incident with John Marlow, but you were there for the second incident and participated in his group's actions and the logs will prove that as well. You're purposefully misconstruing the facts and lying about your part in the roleplay. I wish we had a six hour long video of everything that happened during the day, but unfortunately not everyone is going to record everything when they get into the server. What evidence we had were, again, multiple trustworthy and high ranking witnesses say, without a doubt, that you were involved in the group with no doubts from anyone involved. Let me know if I can answer anything else regarding your appeal!

Hi there Skips, I was involved in the unfortunate death of your character. I've read through some of the arguments you've posted, and respectfully I have to disagree on the idea that you weren't involved in the day's events. I would also like to state that I believe you're purposefully misrepresenting the facts in your appeal, to a point where one might consider them outright lies. You start your appeal by stating that you were "helping" a Feldjäger with their uniform (who happened to be me). You did not "help me" with my uniform, rather you and a group of known deserters had actually arrested me because I had attempted to arrest Oberstleutnant John Marlow for his crimes in the day. This arrest was countermanded by Feldmarschall Noah Wolff, to which I was forced to obey. With this in mind, you and your group then placed me in ties for what was very much retaliation for my attempted arrest of your ring leader. From where we stood in the room, things were not nearly as chaotic as you attempt to make them out to be. We were communicating to each other very clearly. Meanwhile the group you were with was attempting to lure away the Admiral with hostile intentions in mind, and what was probably what all the commotion was that you were hearing. Fast forward a bit, and your character, Grenadier Thorfinn Snoresson, entered a room where numerous naval characters, several intelligence officers, and myself were. It is true that as soon as I heard your voice, I turned around to face you. After looking at your character, I identified you as one of the accomplices involved in the earlier events. Soon after I identified you, several others also came forward to testify against you, including two general ranking officers (Admiral Friedhart Thone and Generalleutnant Norman Baker), and thus the Feldmarschall had ordered your death without trial due to the extreme nature of the crimes and your association with the John Marlow. During your arrest, you roleplayed poorly in my opinion. You barely spoke and rarely said anything of meaning, and when it came to us giving you an option to talk about your actions you chose to deny to speak about the events you were accused of taking part in. You were also not taking the situation seriously, as evidenced by the fact that you kept trying to walk away while we tried to organize everything. Due to a person throwing a car at the group, you respawned and fled into the city. We were able to track you and capture you once again as you were only a stone's throw away from the Kaisergarde base. After returning you to base, you continued to barely roleplay at all and the Feldmarschall ordered your execution. While you may not have been as involved as some of the other characters, you still very much were. Having multiple people go on record as saying you were involved in this dangerous group was a huge part of the reasoning to why you were executed, and it didn't help at all how poorly you conveyed your "innocence" to everyone around you. Opportunities were given for you to help law enforcement in this case, but you denied them. With all this in mind, I believe your character's death was justified.
