Accepted. From the clip provided I believe that the people involved were way too quick to shoot Bob Pikeman and I agree with Bob Pikeman's statement of "Your orders were not clearly given (just spamming a bind in chat is not clear)". This is espcially true when he is surrounded by 4 people yelling at him. I also do think that an arrest could have easily been made in this situation as the car was being bodyblocked and he was surrounded under gunpoint too. Also from this clip Bob Pikeman was put at gunpoint at 00:53 and then killed at 00:58 and the rules clearly state "You must have a valid RP reason to kill someone. You may shoot someone if they damage you with a weapon/vehicle. You may not shoot someone because of their physical appearance, faction or simply because they insulted you. You must give someone a verbal or text warning and allow them 10 seconds to respond before escalating the roleplay. Following this warning, you may kill them if they pull out a weapon. Do not bait someone to shoot/RDM you, and do not punch minge or initiate arguments to harass someone."

Denied. This ban was justified considering your actions and recent POs. I'd recommend reading the rules during the remaining time on your ban.

Denied. You hit the Interior Minister (member of national high command) in the face with your gun as a low ranking CO and then faced the consequences of your actions.

Thank you for writing an apology. That's a good start, but honestly, it feels like you're downplaying your actions and not fully taking accountability. Saying things like "Only killed 2 people" and defending your reasoning makes it come off like a half apology, half justification. Just because someone from your faction is being detained does not mean you can sit on a roof and gun everyone down. You're expected to engage, roleplay, and assess the situation, not shoot first and ask questions later. Shooting into a crowd, killing people, including your faction member whom you were trying to "rescue" without any interaction, is MRDM. Also, when I pulled you to a sit to discuss the situation, I was not planning on banning you. I was going to educate you on the rules. But when I asked you why you did it, you didn't really give me an answer, and then said something along the lines of "because it was based". This came off as you just blatantly trolling, which escalated the situation to a ban. If you had just explained your side of the story calmly, it would have been a verbal warning or a note at most. I'll let another member of UA decide the verdict of your appeal.

Denied. To begin with, you detained the NSB chief on two separate occasions without any real legitimate cause, you also started dragging him around, and then stole items from him. These actions alone were highly illegal, and you were way out of your depth here as a HAUPTMANN of the Feldjagers to detain the NSB chief with little justification. Following that, you proceeded to order the detainment of the entire NSB for "breaking in" whilst they were serving a PCO, when they were let inside the ICC by a member of the military. The series of actions you took fully justifies the PK, considering the full context of the situation.

Denied. You hit a member of the Kaisergarde with your car, they tried to arrest you, surrounded you and held you under gunpoint, therefore, meaning you're under Fear RP, and then you decided to get in your car and drive off. Therefore, you fell under the PK guideline: "Being killed while not abding by Fear RP".

Denied. As Lentz explained, you we're PKd because you ran into a hostage situation and shot one of the hostage takers, then his friend ran in and shot you afterwards. This is clear grounds for a PK, i'm not sure what else you expected.

Denied. Your appeal has been denied at this time. You may submit a new appeal in one month. When doing so, ensure that you put more genuine effort into your appeal. I also strongly recommend that you change both your username and profile picture to reflect a more appropriate presence.

Denied. After reviewing the full context of this appeal, including your responses, the original request, and the relevant IC events, I'm denying this appeal. The PK was valid, justified, and executed with sufficient cause based on your character's conduct. Let's be absolutely clear, this PK was not issued solely because of the trial or PCO denials. That situation was handled with a demotion, a fine and time in jail. But facing consequences in court does not grant you immunity from further IC retaliation, especially when your actions after that trial continued to escalate against the NSB. The NSB, more than any other faction will persue further action against you, legal or illegal. If your behavior towards the NSB then continues to pose a threat after the trial. Then you are certainly not protected by that trial, you were warned by it. If anything, the court outcome placed your character under increased scrutiny. What followed was repeated defiance, intelligence gathering on the NSB, obstruction and ultimately fleeing NSB custody during a military led breach this fully justified an IC response from the NSB beyond any legal proceedings. At that point it becomes entirely reasonable for the NSB to want to murder your character. You don't get to provoke the NSB repeatedly, get broken out of their custody by armed members of the military and then argue you should still be safe because you complied "eventually". Your decision to leave with them, regardless of intent is what made this PK justifiable along with your other actions. On top of that, there was an active case file detailing your conduct, including your internal statements referring to the NSB as kidnappers and criminals. That's not going to be taken lightly that's seen as a declarion of hositilty against the NSB, and it further supports the justification that your character had entered open opposition against the NSB.

Denied. The server logs confirm that you were present on the server at the time of the incident. Additionally, there is a clip that clearly shows you breaking fear RP when the military were trying to arrest you, which directly led to your death.

Accepted. Make a ticket in game requesting for a member of UA to unblacklist your flags when you're next on the server.

Denied. Hello, thank you for making an appeal. I'll clarify why the PK remains valid. In the clip, you were alone and outnumbered outside the ICC garage, and you were being surrounded and arrested by the military, Instead of surrendering, you then opened fire on the military members who were arresting you. This is you clearly initating a gunfight, and you died as a direct result. That makes the PK valid. Also while we appreciate you putting time into your character, that does not exempt you from the consequences of your actions.

Denied. Hello, thank you for your response. I'll address your points and clarify why the PK remains valid. Firstly, let's talk about the situation itself. You were positioned outside the ICC, and from what I can tell, you were attempting to arrest a member of the infantry. When that individual moved way, by your own admission, you escalted the situation by pulling out your pistol and firing a shot at the member of the infrantry. Whether or not your weapon was directly aimed aimed what them when the shot was fired is not the key issue here. The fact remains that you discharged your weapon in the direction of a military member and opened fire on them outside of the ICC. That is clear initiation of a gunfight, even if it was only one shot fired. Also your claim that the shot "would have hit the wall and done no harm" does not exempt you from anything, espcially when the clip shows that you clearly moved your aim from the wall to the military member. You should know that shooting someone is universally seen as agressive, especially when aimed towards members of the military that are outside their own base. You also say that you were not pointing your gun at anyone, but again the clip clearly shows otherwise and you were clearly pointing your gun at the military member and you shot him, in a situation that did not even require that amount of force when you consider the context that you were heavily outnumbered outside the ICC trying to make an arrest on a military member. You also argue that the person who PK'd you was "divorced from the situation" and you could not hear what was going on. That's just missing the point. The person who killed you witnessed you open fire on members of the military outside the ICC, and from their perspective, like most people in that scenario, you had just started a gunfight. So then from a military point of view, seeing someone shoot another member of the military is more than enough to engage them with lethal force. People don't need to ask questions first when bullets are already been fired. You also mentioned that if you were trying to start a gun fight, you would have followed the NCO. Again, it's not about your internal logic, it's about what your observable actions looked like to others. If you shoot at someone, people around you are going to react accordingly. Now, on what could have been done. If you truly believed the infantry member was breaking a law or needed to be arrested the peoper course would have been to accept that he got away in this particular situation as you were heavily outnumbered and he was practically inside his base, so realistically you would not have been able to make the arrest . Then you should have done the following: 1. Get their description and rank. 2. Note any other indentifying details. 3. Write a formal report. 4. Report the incident to the NSB. 5. Then pursue them through a written warrant. Instead, you decided to escalate the situation by shooting the military member outside of his own base when you were heavily outnumbered. That's why you got PK'd. Lastly, you say this isn't a conventional "gunfight PK" But gunfights don't need to last 5 minutes, include over 20 people or have multiple parties involved. Sometimes they're one sided and brief and they take place outside the ICC and one shot is all it takes to get killed. This PK was not issued on a technicality or misunderstanding, it was a direct result of your actions. You escalated a minor situation by involving lethal force, and you were met with lethal force in return.

Accepted. However, If you receive any infractions within the first few weeks of your unban, the permanent ban will be reinstated immediately, without any chance to appeal it.

Denied. You showed no interest in roleplaying, and you were clearly just trying to annoy others and get a reaction. Also, we do not need a specific rule to ban someone, especially when they are blatantly disrupting roleplay by trolling.

Accepted. After reviewing the clip, I've decided to accept your PK appeal based on the context of the situation. The individuals involved were clearly not engaging in any form of serious roleplay using phrases such as "aura farming" and the general tone of the interaction did not align with the standards of roleplay we look for on the server. The Grenadier's decision to instantly arrest someone purely for saying "aura farming" also lacked any serious roleplay foundation. But your response which was opening fire on the Grenadier was not the right course of action at all. You made no attempt to roleplay or question the arrest, as a police officer should do in that position. While I understand your perspective, escalating to gunfire without even trying to roleplay is also just attempted RDM at that point. But with that being said, given the unserious nature of the situation and those involved, I'm willing to overlook this incident and accept the appeal. However, let this serve as a clear reminder, always attempt to escalate roleplay properly. Jumping to just shooting straight away without any form of roleplay interaction will never be the right answer and you'll just get yourself into situations like this. Next time, focus on roleplaying the situation out, even if you suspect someone is not taking things seriously. If you think that someone is minging or trolling then simply report it to staff by making a ticket, but it's always your responsibility to maintain RP standards on your end.

Denied. After reviewing the situation and your ban history, your appeal is denied. You had just recently returned from a permanent ban and you were given a second chance, but instead of showing any sign of improvement or respect for the rules, you immediately reverted to breaking the rules and trolling. Also claiming that it was "Just one RDM" and claiming that Layheeee was "Power abusing" is absurd when the context of the situation shows otherwise and only proves that you're not taking any accountability for your actions. So considering your prior ban history, recent behavior, and attitude in both the incident and this appeal, it's clear that you're not interested in taking the server seriously or following the rules. You are welcome to make a new ban appeal in 1 month.
