i'm reporting pm of israel STEAM_0:1:560046529 and glorbnob STEAM_0:0:214770628a
my name is Gizmo and my Id is STEAM_0:1:94849743
the incident occured at approx 7pm pst
alrighty lads so here goes nothing. so to preface, i was walking down mainstreet, mostly just looking around, and i see a man cracking doors in a base, so i stood outside to watch, and made sure to steer clear of the doorway so as not to block it, and as i was watching i got blasted in the ass by the dudes raiding buddy, followed by him screaming "move nigga". so obviously as i was neither inside the base, nor interfering via bodyblock, i feel theres no justifiable rp reason for me to have been shot. thus i made the report which was initially taken by PM of israel. he ruled that the kill was justified because he was raiding. i felt that this was an error because line 6 of the raiding rules very clearly states "You may not kill nearby players unless they're inside the building in which you're raiding." with the added text that essentially says unless interfering/countering. PM israel decided that since i was by the front door, the kill was justified. This was very blatantly contrary to the rules to me, so i requested some attention from a higher up (glorbnob) who stated that (paraphrasing of course) since i was in front of the door, with a gun out, and there was an active raid, that the kill was justified. i also feel like this is an incorrect interpretation of the rules, because 1: not only is it explicitly stated in the rules that i have to be inside to be kos'd, but also the fact that the mere act of holding out a weapon would never constitute interference in any other context. the excuse of the individual who shot me in the clip was that i was i was body blocking the door and therefore interfering. As you can see in clip A, there aren't any moments in which i was in a spot in which i could not be walked around or jumped over, so this excuse to me is also invalid, Especially considering in about the last 3 seconds of clip A you can very clearly see that he has jump boost, and so body block should never have been a justifiable response in the first place. And as you can see in clip B, there was 100% plenty of room for players to get both in and out of the base door, proving i wasn't body blocking. this sit was important to me because of the huge precident it sets for raiding rules across the server, so im trying my best to take this seriously, in hopes that we dont fall into a slippery slope of admins enforcing their own interpretations of the rules, instead of enforcing... well.. the actual written rules that are available for everyone to see. Thank you so much for coming to my ted talk
