Member of the team that banned you.
Shalloa

Reason given for your ban.
Shooting in GZ

The Server you initially were banned on.
Server 1

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.
Shot a man who attempted to murder several people in greenzone, which is in violation of rules 6.1 and 6.2. A video of the event from my perspective can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucS2xmVTqk8

Why should we unban you ?
While I personally believe that this mans death was justified, I fully understand the consequences of my actions. Originally this ban was an RDM ban, as seen in the ban message in the video, however after a short discussion with Shalloa it was changed to Shooting in GZ.

I fully understand that under no circumstances should I be shooting within a greenzone with a lethal weapon. Just because another member of the community found it appropriate to break rules, does not mean I should retaliate by breaking the very same ones. I will, in future, refrain from performing such acts and will simply follow the standard record, resolve and report methods instead of taking it into my own hands. Finally, I fully apologize to any and all who look upon me with shame and disappointment, I've just been through too many mass murders

Edit: I have also been informed that a topic surrounding "mass rdm" was created. While he was not able to actually successfully kill anyone with his first magazine, I felt like he was going to continue shooting anyway. Perhaps we can get some official clarification within the rules regarding this, as I'm now feeling a tad conflicted (but still sorry) https://www.roleplay.co.uk/topic/77046-stopping-a-mass-rdm-in-a-green-zone/

Hello John,

I`ve seen the video, and saw that your intentions were to get rid of the shooter RDMING at your position. But like you stated, seeing someone break a rule and then break a rule afterwards yourself doesnt really help around here. Although you were trying to neutralize the threat.

You were trying to help, and I appreciate that, but leave these types of incidents to the Admins on the server.

Your recording was also helpful in getting the Rulebreaker.
