Hi Barry,
It is my character who has stabbed your character.
It is a shame that you have come to report me for RDM as you had asked in LOOC to come to QE which I responded to saying that I am currently RPing with cops, as were you. According to my recording metadata, you must have filed this report whilst we were still in RP with the cops.
It is correct that your character and their friends had robbed my character previously. Your character's group robbed him of £150,000 worth of items including fish and crates. During the robbery I had pleaded with your acquaintance not to take it. You were unable to RP with me as you were too busy making your character distant from the RP by running around with your rifle, so you wouldn't have heard this and the impact it was having on my character.
You had minimal engagement with this aspect of the RP, however, I appreciate the RP that this individual gave me (screenshotted):
This left my character with the only option of going to the station and reporting it to the police. My character spoke with the police and told them the details as best he could. He remembered descriptions of the persons who robbed him, their vehicles, and partial number plates.
Effected by this incident my character went on a search for the offenders. He got changed into inconspicuous clothing - the camouflage, and equipped himself with a pair of binoculars. The plan was to look around the city for the vehicles as well as stakeout potential locations. The objective of this was to find information on the offenders he could use to try and get compensation from them.
Unfortunately, when my character saw you being stopped by the police, especially the same officer he had reported the crime to, he got into a state of rage quickly. He ran over to you and expressed that you had robbed him of his fish. You put your hands up out of shock, but lowered them. Fearing your character was about to attack and the officer now drawing his pistol, my character had to act quick. My character delivered the well-needed revenge to your character. But the story doesn't end there like you suggest it does, this isn't a 'little win'.
My character is immediately apprehended, as is your character. My character is exasperated from the rage they have come to. The officer makes reference to the fact that my character is the victim to your character's crime and their investigation is under way. Our characters both under go questioning about the incidents we are involved in. I RP throughout that my character has undergone a moment of rage in response to seeing the person who has robbed him of nearly almost all of his possessions.
My character's attack on your character, although short, is a pivotal moment in high-quality RP that is constructed before and after. The actions of my character are the direct consequence of your character. This isn't a random attack, this isn't an attack that needs demands such as "put your hands up", it was a quick split-second judgement by my character that sought release of revenge albeit at the expense of a criminal record and prison time.
My decision to stab you in that moment was guided by my character's storyline and the previous interaction. This story will continue and my character will look at next steps.
With the above in mind, I refute the allegation that this instance isn't quality RP. You submitted this report before even leaving police custody and reaching prison. Your RP had not ended.
I admit that I had acted quickly in stabbing you, and it would have been nice to have an extended interaction. This was limited as we were both separated in police custody - for obvious reasons.
