Staff Report: Awestruck

[BasicallyMental]

Hello all those involved!

I'd like to state that what I did was in-fact valid. Regardless of whether or not the 'China Mafia' were raiding the Nexus for countless reasons (reasons that were valid Rule-wise and RP-wise). My Character was a part of the 'China Mafia' before I took up Presidency. After killing the President, I was placed into power. I used my previous group as personal security. (I had made sure that before we set up a base or that we even continued to RP, that any contraband they had was destroyed so that we could be in the clear both RP-wise and Rule-wise) as to not be classed as Criminals in the eyes of the law (perma-laws).

As for government members being so called "stuck" in their position. There was a lot of question in OOC regarding government coups. Asking if the government were allowed to kill me. I denied this as it breaks team-killing rules, so suggested they resign from the government job and become a Freedom Fighter or similar to rise up against the Dictator if they had an issue with it.

Next we come onto your interpretation of KOS adverts, and imaginary KOS lines. The screenshots you have provided do not prove any KOS took place. "stay away or you be considered a threat" is not a declaration of KOS. Barricades with stop signs on it, is not a KOS line...

I wont even get into official definitions of 'Mafia', because that just trying to push it to a stage it doesn't even need to get to. When I joined Presidency, I can assure all those involved and the reviewing SA that the group were not carrying out any criminal activities. Exception being when Fierce shot at Huskii, who was then warned by myself (due to him having pretty low hours)

Just because you have now left the group, and now because they no longer have contraband doesn't suddenly make them non-criminal. Correct me if I am wrong but the Corleone group are a Mafia, however not allowed to work with the government? What is going to come out of this report when Divey responds with no abuse noted, is that the government are allowed to work with any organisation, as long as they do not have contraband as they are not classed as criminal.
I am pushing it to the stage of definitions because what you seem to fail to understand is that you teamed up with a criminal organisation. A mafia is a criminal organisation.
Rule 2.8 states "Custom job titles must be realistic (don't roleplay something that isn't human), specific and accurately state what character you intend to roleplay". Naming yourself a Mafia, and then working with the government, is not setting your title as to what you intend to roleplay as the people participating in the MafiaRP agreed to work with the government as a PMC, however the title "Mafia" did not accurately represent this.

Also, when someone has just spent hours shooting the government and killing the President they are classed a criminal no? Forget contraband. Just because you were apart of this group and are now the President, or are now with the government, doesn't take away their criminal status. They have still spent hours killing President's and have still spent hours shooting police.

EDIT:
Quick comment on the KOS thing. The only reason I included this, and even mentioned it in the first place is because the people defending you (Esepcially Feirce) were extremely trigger happy and it sounded/seemed to me that anyone entering this zone was either instantly shot or killed which is proven through the shots against Vsync.
