PK Appeal: Frederick Houston

[PhoenixAuron]

Character's name & rank: Frederick Houston, Hauptmann

SteamID32: STEAM_0:0:119674273

Staff member who issued the PK (if you know): Not Sure

Explain why you were PK'd: This is a legitimately good question, I was PKed when orders were given to recruit near the Kaisergarde as we had a lack of recruits from other areas. We (Myself, 2 COs, 1 NCO, 2-3 Enlisted Men) were recruiting in the area and starting talking to the Kaisergarde seeing if they wanted to join the Luftwaffe when they started throwing slurs in both racist and homophobic ways. They told us to leave the area of the Base so we stepped back to the road and sidewalk. The Kaisergarde then left their base, continued the slurs, and then eventually without warning began detaining Luftwaffe who were simply following orders. Advertisements from Luftwaffe and others were sent of the illegal detainment and immediate assistance required for the Luftwaffe members falsely captured (According to both the Global/Imperial rules there is nothing against the use of Advertisements by Restrained/Detained peoples, unless Im failing to see it, please do inform if there is and where it is located, Advertisements in themself make no self in the land of RP so being able to do it on will anytime, anywhere makes sense unless your told under Fear RP not to?) 

Why should you be un-PK'd?: Multiple server rules were broken during the situation by the Kaisergarde that were detaining the Luftwaffe both prior and after the arrest, Before the arrest there was Global Rule 1, Imperal Rules General Rules 1/2. Global Rule 1 (Harassment) was violated by the 10+ Slurs used by Approximately 2-3 people during the situation, ruining the RP in general since every other word was f***** or n*****. Imperial Rules General Rules 1 was violated by the lack of serious RP from the Kaisergarde with constant slurs, going OOC several times, etc. Imperial Rules General Rules 2 was violated due to a legitimate lack of a reason to kill me, I was cooperating with all orders was detained, given 1 warning to back away from the gate at the beginning and no more (and I did infact back away from the gate), given no other warnings before being randomly killed. There was no trial or anything to validate the immediate killing of several people either. During/After the arrest there were even more rules broken including Imperial Rules Fear RP 3/4, Imperial Rules Killing Rules 1, Imperial Rules Metagaming Rules 1/2, and Imperial Rules Powergaming Rules 5. The Fear RP rules were broken by the blatant lack of warnings, sufficient time to do anything, or reason to even hold under Fear RP. Fear RP Rule 4 states "You must have a valid reason to place someone under FearRP (I.E. Reason to forcibly detain, question, kidnap, or mug). Placing someone under FearRP without reason or just to bait a PK is not permitted and may result in a ban or character removal." They placed us under Fear RP whilst we were walking away from the Kaisergarde towards the LAPO despite no reason ever given (IC or OOC) then started detaining all of the Luftwaffe member present. I even attempted to ask the staff member who PKed me for what reason there was to place us under FearRP but none was ever given. Metagaming Rules 1/2 were broken by the multiple times of OOC matters brought into IC though this isn't as important as other things currently. Powergaming Rules 5 states, "You cannot Fake Signatures or lie to get individuals PKd." For this rule I am focusing on the "Lie" part. Multiple KG stated I said one thing, despite another entirely different thing being said, causing the person who was the highest rank at the scene to have me "put on a wooden pole"? I stated, "We are here for Recruiting under orders to attempt to recruit Kaisergarde and anyone else we can" however multiple KG ignored what I said and some stated "He said he was acting under his own orders", "No you said that you came over here on your own", despite multiple people for sure witnessing what I actually had said.

And so based on the blatant number of rules broken to even get us into the mess of PKing my character, I believe that my character, Hauptmann Frederick Houston, should be un-PKed. None of the criteria of the PK Government Guidelines was met even without the rule violations of the Kaisergarde men. I am sorry to make it so long, however as being reletively new to the community, and hitting Hauptman only recently, this character is very special to me and so I will work my best to get my character back. If I was ever legitimately PKed then sure it would be one thing, but I geneuinly see no reason for the character to be PKed. 

Additional Information: Hope to see everyone back in RP as my character Frederick Houston, if I legitimately have been mistaken on any of the information in this post, please DM me on Discord at PhoenixAuron or leave a comment on the post telling me what is wrong and I will either Ask questions regarding the error or update the post.

The number of rule violations you're citing are not going to be considered, unless you have actual evidence of this to back it up. In addition, you're not entitled to know the reason that you're placed under FearRP. Staff do not have to explain that to you, and neither do the people who put you under FearRP. 

The reason you were PKed was because you made an advertisement while cuffed, which is a violation of our guidelines regarding FearRP; You cannot make advertisements or radio broadcasts while in cuffs.

However, because I disagree with how the PK was handled, I will be accepting your PK appeal. 

Note: You will be placed in the custody of the Kaisergarde when you're un-PK'ed. Make a ticket in the main Prometheus Discord and let me know when you're next online so we may continue the scene.
