jerry's rdm warn appeal

Who are you reporting? [Staff/Player]: enzo

In-game name of reportee: enzo

Timezone: MST
What happened? (include any proof): So I was reported for rdm and I got warned for it. What I did to allegedly RDM was countering a counter. Now I don't see how that is rdm. Because in the perma laws of ggdrp: Law 1 states that you should not attack others unless in self defense. now German was the one who reported me. Well when He adverted counter, I adverted counter as well. And Countering probably is illegal because although it stops another from doing an illegal action it also requires an illegal action to be done which is attacking someone without self defense. German was not shot by the player when he adverted counter so it was not considered self defense to kill the player. So since he (german) attacked the player without being attacked first, I countered that illegal activity of murder. I know that me countering is also illegal as a part of law 1 but then that's when someone else should counter or I should be arrested. https://imgur.com/a/PCRJksz
 

(I dont want anything to happen to enzo. I just want my warn to be taken away since what I did should be right for stopping a murder via counter.)

Hi Jerry!

 

Thank you for taking your time on for making this appeal. Countering is not an illegal activity, there for you may not counter it, as countering is only meant to stop illegal activities. As seen in the citizen role, You may no perform illegal activities such as mugging or raiding, then you may counter illegal activities. Showing that countering is not an illegal activity, and that countering is only for stopping illegal activities.

ACCEPTED
Thank you for your appeal. After a careful review by our Administration Team, we have decided that your warn will be revoked, only due to the fact that this scenario is a gray area within our rules, which we hope to clarify in coming updates. While countering is intended to prevent illegal activities, it requires an illegal act to be committed to prevent another, which implies that the cycle could repeat itself. 
 

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
