• Fear roleplay is the concept of roleplaying fear for your character’s safety and life.

• Examples (but not limited to), where your character’s life is considered to be in direct danger:

• When you are on foot or bike and a weapon is aimed at you at close range.

• When you’re in a vehicle that is stalled or turned off and a weapon is aimed at you close range.

• When the attacker lowers their weapon to type or roleplay, your life remains in direct danger.

• Driving a vehicle in an active shootout more than once without the intent of protecting a friend, fleeing with it, or using it as cover.

• Examples (but not limited to), where your character’s life is NOT considered to be in direct danger:

• When you are in a car which engine is not stalled.

• When you have a firearm drawn and are facing the other person before they attacked.

• When the attacker’s view is obstructed by an object or when they turn their back on you.

• As a victim, whose life is in direct danger:

• You must display reasonable value for your life and comply with the demands of your attacker.

• You cannot call 911 or call your friends or allies to aid you.

How did the player break the rule(s)?

With an AK pointed to the back of her head, player decided to turn around and point a weapon out. After both of us dying and respawning at the hospital she went on to call me a mong in OOC chat. There is a screenshot of that, if need be I can provide footage of that too but I'm sure you can just check the logs. 

Evidence of rule breach:

My apologies for the ooc insult, I was annoyed and it was totally uncalled for.

Regarding to the situation it did not look like this in my eyes, but I most likely had a delay due to the shop being open, but I'm accepting that this was my fault.

I'll take the punishment that is given.

Hello, and thank you for making this player report! @Rubsmeister

As the reported party has already responded with her side of the story and explained the reasoning for her actions which can be seen in the provided evidence above, i will move forward in concluding this report. Prior to me concluding this report however, i would like to ask the reported party @Cathrine if you have any evidence displaying your point of view during this situation.

Looking forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Dqniel

@Dqniel I've never had to handle this sort of a situation, so I've never considered recording for evidence. but that's on me and I'll learn from this.

But from my perspective, he ran into the store with his gun down, not aimed at us. So I tried to pull my gun out as he entered the store but instead of doing so, the weapon menu bugged out due to me being in the clothing store. So when I closed the store my gun was pulled out and aimed as that was what I originally attempted to do, that's where you can see me moving backwards. I did not shoot at him, but he shot me right away, and that's understandable as I had my gun drawn.

Hello, and thank you to everyone who responded with their side of the story and explained the reasoning for their actions which can be seen in the provided evidence above. After extensively reviewing the provided evidence as well as taking the statements of all parties involved into consideration, i have decided to conclude this report.

Player Emily_Corelle will receive a Non-Roleplay punishment for breaching the Fear Roleplay rules | Offense #1.

First and foremost, i would like to address the punishment of Non-Roleplay and the reasoning behind it. In the provided evidence of this report, it can be seen that the reporting party approaches you with an equipped weapon aimed at you, with the intentions of presumably robbing you. In turn, you equip your weapon, proceed to aim it back at the reporting party before ultimately being gunned down as a result of that. The issue that arises with this situation is that your actions are not in accordance with our Fear Roleplay rules. If you are held under direct gunpoint at close range, which essentially means that you are in a vulnerable and life threatening situation, you are expected to display an adequate and realistic amount of fear for the life of your character, and follow every demand given to you as one instinctively would do in real life. The moment the reporting party aimed his weapon towards you, you were completely unarmed and defenseless which would mean that you are not exempt from acting under the fear roleplay rules, and your life was still in direct danger. It is of my belief that your first instinct while under direct danger should not be to equip your weapon before ultimately aiming it back, but rather comply with the demands being made upon you as you were completely defenseless and unarmed at the time. I acknowledge that there were supposedly a delay on your side during this situation, but as there has been no evidence provided that suggests this, i can only work with the evidence that the reporting party provided to me and conclude it based on that. I do however sincerely appreciate the fact that you are so understanding of the situation and acknowledged your wrongs during it.

Secondly, i would like to address the lack of punishment for the insult(s) given through out of character means. Despite how frustrated or annoyed you were during this situation, resorting to offensive language and insulting someone through out of character means is not the appropriate way to handle the situation. In saying that, i feel that there is no need to issue a punishment aside from giving you some guidance on what you can do differently should you ever be faced with a similar situation in the future.

Thank you for making this report! @Rubsmeister
