Player(s) being reported: ID 74
Date of interaction reported: 26/MAY/2021
Unix time stamp from HUD: 1622064924

Your character name: Kevin Pitts
Other player(s) involved: 

Specific rule(s) broken:

14. Deathmatch (DM)

• Deathmatching is the act of attacking a player without a proper IC motive and interaction.
• Prior interaction should include escalation such as a robbery or a report to the police.
• Players may not kill victims who have complied with a plausible demand in reasonable time unless involved in severe hostile activity against them or an ally within 3 hours.
• Players on foot should only be attempted to be hit with a vehicle once with valid motive.
• Vehicles cannot be used as weapons in active shootouts unless where unavoidable.
• Players must be able to explain their reason and provide proof of prior reasoning if requested.

How did the player break the rule(s)?  (300 words maximum)
Before a fight broke out, ID 74 sped past one of my gang member's bike - ramming them off their bike and instantly injuring them without any escalation. ID 74 was informed to save POV via PMs and he said that ID 229 (the one who got VDMed) was driving towards him so he crashed, which is false. They were both heading in the same direction, he sped right towards him, rammed him off the bike and ended up injuring him right there.

Hello Symere Blackwood here first off I would just like to say I had no intentions to hit the player on the bike instead I was actually attempting to run the kudo kai player over I would like to to thank the reporting party for linking the YouTube video when watching the YouTube video you can hear my ally Isaac say "Kudo is getting out" implying that they are starting the fight over drop within the same YouTube video I say "Hes aiming, Hes getting ran over" which proves I had intentions to run over the kudo kai player. First off I would never purposely run a player over that I do not have DM rights on. I tried to explain with the reporting party that I didn't mean to hit the reporting party and even offered to send him my POV over discord to prove any suspicion they had in my opinion this entire report could've been solved oocly with my footage but the reporting party refused to add me on discord and ignored my pms trying to solve oocly and instead insisted on saying I was lying.

You can clearly tell watching the clip that I picked my target and drove my vehicle towards them lining up with the player aiming at my allies. when me and the reporting party happened to cross paths, When this happened in game I did not even see the guy on the bike as there was at least 20-30 vehicles there, 4 enemy gangs circling us and I was only focusing on ID 200 as I was about to run him over. I would like to add that the reporting party is claiming that I purposely aimed at the bike when I did not even turn my vehicle after Lining up to run the player Aiming his gun at my allies.

I would appreciate if the player that I "VDM'D" could also post his POV as It would help the admins viewing both sides of the situation before making a Final decision.

Thanks for your response and patience as I concluded this report.

After looking at the response received from the reported party, I will be denying this report.

It is clear that his intentions were to run over the player aiming at his allies with a weapon. The collision with the bike was an In-Character incident which was an accident due to careless driving on both sides. The attempt to run over the player on-foot was valid as "Players on foot should only be attempted to be hit with a vehicle once with valid motive" which is evidenced in the footage. Symere attempted once on an enemy he had appropriate motive to do so as they were aiming weapons at his ally. Furthermore, there was no active shootout.

If you disagree with this conclusion, you are free to create a decision appeal.
