[Polo]

Character's name & rank: Korvettenkapitän Thomas Hörn

SteamID (STEAM_0:X:XXX):  Steam ID: 76561199013460717

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

Explain why you were PK'd: I'm not really sure. Lawson picked me up from IC role play and brought me to a roof, asking me when I was last active on this character. I said 2 weeks ago, and he responded, "Ok, you are no longer a Kommodore” it was somewhat explained for inactivity, and apparently I wasn't listening to the Vice Admiral before this. Something that was also brought up was that I killed the general of the infantry but that was something that was kind of brushed aside during our conversation. I was returned to an IC situation where I was asked what happened, and I responded with something along the lines of, "He demoted me and didn’t even listen to me." Lawson spawned right next to me and said I don't have to listen to you and seconds later he shot me with a shotgun, and moments later I was pk'd.

Why should you be un-PK'd?: This was an abnormal afternoon; we had a fun event where we had to secure money from a drop for the FM DW. Everyone was having a good time, and I'll be the very first to admit that I wasn't being extremely professional, but I wasn't breaking any rules and wasn't detained or anything that really warranted a PK.

I have honestly no Idea what the Vice Admiral said to Lawson because nothing could come to mind. Today, there were multiple meetings that the Vice Admiral had to attend, so me being a Kommodore at the time meant I had to take control of the men. I took them on patrol of the city via trucks and did water patrols too for a bit on a functioning dupe I have. There was one certain moment where there was an order from the Vice Admiral; he ordered us to free Feld from the cell block in the Bender Block during an Inner Military conflict, and we absolutely did just that. 

 

I never once insulted the staff about this decision or his character; the only thing I was frustrated about was how one-sided it was. It seemed as though he just genuinely didn't like me, which is understandable, but that I was getting punished for that. The only time I could even be perceived as talking back was out of frustration from being punished without any type of roleplay or even a chance to explain my side, and even then there were no insults thrown at Lawson or his decision. I just stated the fact that I wasn't even being heard at all. I was pretty respectful during this whole altercation.

 

On this character, I have had the opportunity to join some great groups and accomplish great things. I have always tried to improve and contribute positively to the roleplay experience, I've added some cool aspects to roleplay like legalizing French weaponry, which is now widely used across the server. I also enjoy helping factions rebuild their manpower, and I am confident that members of the military can attest to my efforts. The Marines were inactive for some time, but I believe I played a significant role in rebuilding their numbers and restoring activity.

 

The last part that I want to bring up is the little fight that took place between myself and some marines against the General of the Infantry, during the Cash event there was a inner military conflict, most of the Heer didn't attend due to a pointless Court case, the KM notified us that he couldn't get them out of the courtroom to help with the case and if we wanted to try we could so me and a couple of the Marines did just that. The General of the Infantry then ordered for my detainment, and we didn't allow that. A small gunfight broke out, and the General of the Infantry, trying to shoot me, killed one of my men and hit me once or twice, so I whipped out my gun and killed him. This was settled there and then, and it wasn't till around an hour later that it was brought up by Lawson.

Additional Information:  My LOA was definitely known where it needed to be. I have been going through a rough time recently, so getting on hasn't even been something I have been physically able to do and I very clearly contacted who needed to know that (the KM and the Marine High Command group chat multiple times). When I entered the city, the first person I spoke to was the new Chief and nothing was done about my rank or how I conducted myself; to my knowledge he was fine with me being a Kommodore and never stated otherwise. Maybe there is something I am not seeing, something that I have done and Lawson has witnessed. If I have broken server rules in anyway or did anything that warranted a PK unknowingly, for that I am sorry. If I have done something to you, Lawson, unknowingly, for that I am also sorry. 

I was totally ok with the demotion, the only part that I was caught up on was when I was told that I wasn't following orders from the Vice Admiral because that is completely false and wanted to speak on that more.

So Im reading through this, and I spoke with Lawson and there are a few points I am confused about,. 

1. You were demoted for not playing for a month and a half. You do not get to keep your Oberst rank as you had been replaced. 
2. Once you were pulled to a sit and Lawson tried to speak with you, You gave nothing but attitude and freaking out, once returned you started to take it IC saying "This is one sided" etc...

So I am confused on why we would allow you to continue to be command within the Marines when you cannot hold a conversation with a member of Upper Administration and give nothing but attitude. 

Any further questions you can make a ticket in the main discord but this PK Appeal is Denied.
