MRDM Ban appeal

[RabbidOwl]

Your Steam Name: Rabbidowl

Your in-game name: Rabbidowl

Your SteamID: (STEAM_0:0:44919768)

 

Why were you warned/banned?: MRDM (killing 3 people in less than a minute, though 2 deaths were the same person)

 

Why should you be unwarned/unbanned? : I believe that my actions were not harmful to the server or anyone's enjoyment of it and I had a valid reason as a player to do what I did.

 

Who warned/banned you and for how long?: Legerbs ban me for 7 days

 

Evidence: The MRDM I committed was against 2 players, a detective and what I think was secret service. I killed these players because I saw them arresting people coming out of spawn, basically waiting just outside the zone where you can not cuff people. During the time I play (around 10 PM to 3 AM PST) the amount of moderators online is generally quite low, so I decided to stop the mingey behavior myself by killing them. I killed the detective first, then the secret service came out and was trying to arrest and shoot at me so I killed them as well. Finally, the detective came back after around ten seconds and repeated to arrest someone, so I once again killed them. Soon after I was brought to a sit where the detective said they had chased someone through spawn to arrest them, I did little to defend myself during this time for a few reasons, mainly just me being absent-minded at the time due to lack of sleep and secondly because the detective insisted I get a ban and since I didn't want to make any more fuss about this, and honestly I thought I could use the break, I told Legerbs I was fine with it. I would still be fine with it, however, due to the ban I have had some issues with a few friends on the server, and that is not something I am ok with. I would like to bring up a few points that I should have brought up in the sit.

 

A: The claim of chasing someone through spawn to capture them seems very unlikely to me for two reasons. Firstly, stun guns allow a CP to slow someone down to the point where unless they are already right outside spawn, they have almost no chance to get there before the CP gets to them.

 

B: if a player was actively trying to use spawn as protection against arrest, they wouldn't just go through it, they would wait until the CP gave up on arresting them or at least was far enough away for them to escape.

 

The detective's story was that the person they arrested had come into spawn through another exit and then tried to leave through the tunnel to the fountain, where the CP caught them. The two other exits of spawn would mean either the person ran through all of spawn (which would indicate that they were trying to abuse spawn protection) or that they had to take the sharp turn, which in that case the criminal would have had to already be very close to spawn in order to outrun the CP. The single plausible explanation I can think of is that both the CP and criminal were just outside of spawn in the tunnel to the suburbs and that is where the criminal did something while next to a CP to warrant an arrest.

The second kill was in self-defense in my opinion and the third was me seeing them come back to arrest people again, which I viewed as them breaking NLR to minge. From my point of view, I saw someone abusing the CP job to ruin other player's time and decided to stop it. I should have called an admin or talked to them first, I'm not saying I did the right thing, all I am saying is I made an error in judgment in handling a situation and that I will do better.

I know youre vip owl. If there are afk staff you can votekick or voteban. You admitted to taking things into your own hands by rdming. You couldve simply even made a report on the forums against said players. I am -1 for an unban

[RickRolled7891]

Forwarding to banning staff member. But I am +1 due to knowing why

[LeGerbs]

Whether or not you had good intentions doesn't justify you killing those three people. As Axiom said make a report. For now I will reduce your ban to 3 days for the counts of RDM.
