Character's name & rank: Jimmy Barlovo, Feldwebel
SteamID (STEAM_0:X:XXX): STEAM_0:0:98631715
Staff member who issued the PK (if you know): Coffee
Explain why you were PK'd:
I was told I was NHC Pked by the interior minister for calling him names 5-7 days prior, When I logged on today I was taken into a cell and shot without any real proper RP. Hell a trial would have been nice.
Why should you be un-PK'd?:
Well, as the character is an upstart, and considering they were killed off without any real reason or proper RP, I believe they should be allowed to live. From how things like this were handled in the past, I would expect situations like this to be handled differently. For example, the NSB could have kidnapped my character and forced him into being an informant under threat of death, or something more RP-creative, rather than simply killing off a character over a supposed verbal insult. A Perma-Kill should be a last resort, not a first response. As Whoreson has said himself, this RP isn’t just a "kill one another" simulator—it’s about the stories created, the rivalries formed, and the tension between characters that help drive the server’s roleplay and foster an engaging atmosphere.
End of the day all this Pk has done is restarted a character that in my eyes and hopefully in the eyes of the reviewer shouldn't result in death being the first and foremost action taken against the Character. There are many other routes that could have been taken to Pk this NCO or to have advanced the RP into a more interesting direction and I would like to have the chance to see it advanced!
Additional Information:
I also know its not the wisest to insult a NHC member who was melting down like a child in the street, and I know the rules are not absolute but here's the ones that I feel back me up in this case.
You may not kill someone or escalate a confrontation to murder just for verbal disrespect/argument. If someone continues to disrespect you, you may physically intimidate or hit them (Fists, melee weapon) as continued disrespect could realistically start a fight. The player then has free choice on how to respond/retaliate. If they choose to flee, you may not kill them.
Not using PKs as a LAST resort.
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.
The punishment must fit the crime. You cannot sentence someone to death for minor offenses; ie. not saluting [PK]
