Character's name & rank: Obermeister(Stabsfeldwebel) James Krake

SteamID (STEAM_0:X:XXX): STEAM_1:0:37730288

Staff member who issued the PK (if you know): Coffee

Explain why you were PK'd:I was (PK’d) for allegedly dropping a certain number of Dieterjacks (seen Below), estimated to be around ten it maybe more it was half and inventories worth, though I am not entirely certain of the exact amount. While I acknowledge that this action may have been perceived as disruptive, it does not seem to constitute a permanent kill, especially not without a proper process or due consideration of intent. The circumstances surrounding this PK were not entirely clear to me, and it seems that the decision may have been made without proper due process within roleplay, I saw 0 of the evidence against my character on its death.

Why should you be un-PK'd?:

There are several reasons why I believe my PK should be overturned. First and foremost, the justification for the PK appears to be weak and without full larp. While I understand that dropping Dieterjacks might be seen as a disruptive act, it is difficult to justify a permanent character death solely based on this action, especially when it was not completely roleplayed within a court. If dropping items such as Dieterjacks was considered a serious offense, with it being a first time criminal act and with it not going through a court of any kind, in this case, the decision to immediately PK me without a trial or proper escalation seems unjust and excessive.

Furthermore, I would like to emphasize that the image provided on my PK does not directly involve my character, it does not inherently justify a PK. A picture alone lacks crucial context, such as the specific circumstances, and whether any laws were explicitly violated was not discovered because there was no trial. It is essential to consider the broader context rather than basing such a severe punishment on a single poser. If my actions were truly deemed problematic, a more reasonable course of action would have been a trial PK, where I would have been given the opportunity to defend myself.

Additionally, the decision to PK me without a proper trial seems to contradict the standard procedures for handling such cases. The permanent removal of a character is one of the most severe forms of punishment in roleplay especially this setting with a co liberal government and a crow. Without a trial or proper review process, the decision appears arbitrary, and I believe it sets a precedent that allows people to just kill people with little justification, and killing someone with so much to lose over a photo is strange.

Lastly, I would like to stress that I have always aimed to engage with the larp in a way that is constructive for everyone involved.  However, I strongly believe that the punishment I received was disproportionate and unjustified given the nature and lack of roleplay. Therefore, I respectfully request that my PK be overturned, or at the very least, that a fair review of the situation be conducted to ensure that the decision was made in accordance with the established rules and desired standards of the community.

Hello I was the staff member who approved this PK.

It's a pretty simple explanation as to why this PK was approved.

The reason this PK was approved is because you were caught distributing multiple of those in game documents with a picture of what is supposed to be the Minister of Interior (Member of National High Command) being hung with multiple medals attached to his chest saying "Scrapping the barrel award" "Cant win civil war award" "Dead MOI award" "Archibald Bunker's little bitch award".

You were caught by the NSB doing this and there was a case file made against you which included photographic evidence of you distributing these documents.

You also done all of this as a Stabsfeldwebel in the Military btw it's not like you were the Minister of War or a member of the Military command staff you were some random NCO in the Military.

I'll also make this clear to you that you're not entitled to see the evidence / case file which got you PK'd I don't understand why you think that?

You also claim that "The circumstances surrounding this PK were not entirely clear to me" but during the staff sit after you had been killed I explained it to you multiple times with a good amount of detail as to why you got PK'd and you did not seem to understand or comprehend the fact as to why you were PK'd and you held the opinion that this PK was unfair so I told you to appeal it on the forums to which you did.

I also said this in one of the last PK appeals that I had to respond to that you're not entitled to a court trial before you get PK'd.

You got caught in 4k distrubuting multiple photos of what is supposed to be the Minister of Interior (Member of National High Command) being hung why would you not just be executed / shot for that?

Then your point of "the decision appears arbitrary, and I believe it sets a precedent that allows people to just kill people with little justification, and killing someone with so much to lose over a photo is strange."

This does not make any sense at all again I don't understand why you think that distributing multiple photos of what is supposed to be the Minister of Interior (Member of National High Command) being hung is not justification for you to be executed / shot and you were not killed over some "random photo" or "Just some photo" as you're making it out to be the photo was again an image of what is supposed to be the Minister of Interior being hung...

Also if you had so much to lose on that character I don't understand why you would be distrubuting those documents / pictures around in the first place?

Without the photos, I have no way to properly defend myself. Furthermore, I was never directly found in possession of them or at least, I don’t recall that happening (The Only thing I have on my person is a KAG ID), as this took place a week or two ago( The Incident Resulting in my PK). It feels unreasonable to be permanently killed without being fully shown the evidence or given a clear explanation of what specifically led to my PK. At this point, I wouldn’t even have any use for the photos in-character, as I’m already "dead". It is also unreasonable after I had stopped being in Military about a week ago.

Denied

After reviewing the evidence provided to me, this PK was valid. You were caught red handed doing this.

Following from what Coffee stated in his response, you need to fully contextualise your actions here and the reasoning for you being shot to understand why this was a valid reason for your death.
