Completed Report against Rico , Autism is Okay, Novah Centuriian of the Garrison

I just wanna get the report straight, since it is a bit confusing. Correct me if I’m wrong but you are reporting each person for the following reasons:
Rico: Not slaying (Is this for not slaying AIS or Nova?)
AIS: RDM (Killing you for killing Nova)
Nova: RDM (For the damage they dealt to you)

If i’m correct about the reasons above, and if I understand the sequence of events you described, the following rules are the ones in play:

• Detective Self-Defense: You can only kill a detective in self defense if they are actively damaging you
• T acts that apply to detectives (I’m not gonna list all of them, but I will dispute the ones that are found in your scenario):
  • A detective killing an inno is not a T act applicable to detectives, and innos/detectives cannot kill a detective for doing this
  • Self defense: I already touched base on this, but once a detective stops damaging you and no longer displays an intent to kill you, you may not kill them in self defense
  • A detective killing another detective is not a T act applicable to detectives, and innos/detectives cannot kill a detective for doing this

Note: This isn’t a ruling on anything that happened. This post is strictly to inform on the rules that I believe to be in play here

 

I have seen this and will respond tomorrow as long as there are no new developments on it

 

In the meantime, I’ll take the report on the 2 players mentioned. Given the evidence that Rico presented, all 3 of you did RDM, and I'll go through each case separately.

1st Kill: Decaying Neonoir kills evancrug
Decaying kills evan for shooting at a Detective. This constitutes T-baiting and, as such, is a killable T act. For that reason, this kill is valid, and not RDM

Extraneous Damage: Novah shoots Decaying Neonoir
A couple seconds following the death of evancrug at the hands of Decaying, Novah shoots Decaying for 83 damage. The reason that Novah gave for this was that Decaying had just shot and killed someone. As I stated above, there are only a select few T-acts which a detective can be kill for (all of them being in the interest of self defense), and that full list can be found in our extended rules (linked here). Innocents and detectives cannot kill a detective for killing another player. Because of that, this damage was RDM. Novah will serve 1 slay for this damage.

2nd Kill: Decaying Neonoir kills Novah
After following Novah for approximately 30 seconds, Decaying shoots and kills them. The reasoning for this being that Novah had damaged Decaying earlier in the round. This brings in another key aspect of killing a detective in self defense: They must be actively trying to kill you, most of the time in the form of actively damaging you. Since 30 seconds had passed, this falls well outside the realm of self defense, and will be labeled as RDM. You (Decaying Neonoir) will serve 2 slays, as it is my opinion that this kill was toxic, and I am using discretion. Shooting nova would have absolutely no benefit to the objective of the game; rather, it appears to simply be an act of revenge RDM, and I am treating it as such

3rd Kill: Autism is Ok kills Decaying Neonoir
Immediately after Decaying kills Novah, Autism shoots and kills Decaying. Autism's reason for this was that Decaying shot another detective, seemingly out of the blue. For the same reasons found in the Extraneous Damage done by Novah, this kill is RDM. Autism will serve 1 slay for this kill.


All that being said, the report against Novah and Autism will be marked Valid, and I leave the rest of this report to j3k.

 

As a major part of the report has been handled by @RyanHighman above. (smh stepping on my toes, jkjk)
For the part of the report on Rico it will be marked valid. This came down to a misunderstanding of the rule below

He believed that this rule extends to detectives when in reality it does not.
After discussing this in DM's with him we have cleared up his understanding of this rule so that this mistake does not happen

Report: Valid
Thread: Locked
