[MrAlphonzo] Akula - lack of escalation
Posted: Sat Sep 02, 2017 2:07 am
Byond account and character name: AkulaInThePoola / Smoke Palmer
Admin: MrAlphonzo
Time and Server(Bagil or Sybil) incident occurred: 8:52 PM CST / Sybil
Detailed summary: I ahelped hoping that someone would be able to resolve this issue I had with a character named "David Leland" and "Scipio Africanas Williams". David Leland murdered me because I disarmed him while he had a medkit in his hand, note that this was round start in tool storage and a publicly available medkit. Once I have the medkit, David hits me then grabs a tool box and starts going at it with Scipio jumping in without being provoked. Someone ends up pushing David down, so I grab his tool box and whack him a few times and figure that is the end of it. However, they continue to pursue me till I die. MrAlphonzo later tells me that this was justified and not an over reaction. I am finding it hard to believe that stealing a medkit justifies murder, and I also find it contradictory to what I was told in my ban appeal regarding the chef and me stealing from their kitchen.
In addition MrAlphonzo said that Scipio was justified and able to help in the murder because it was just gretides against each-other, from what I could gather. Any clarification in this matter would help a lot in me understanding when it is appropriate to ahelp because of a murder or to murder because of a theft.
