Why were you punished?: 5.1 - The player mugged another player right on the edge of the yellow zone on the mugging map. The location where the mugging took place was very open to the public, and no action was taken to move the victim to a less exposed area.
Why should this appeal be considered?: First of all, I did not mug the person on the edge of a mugging zone. The mugging zone ends roughly half way into the bridge and i mugged them far beyond that.
Second of all, the rule 5.1 states "You must not mug someone in public view or force them out of it". The mugging zone that we were in happened to be next to a road and in view of the public eye making it practically impossible for me to hide the mugging especially considering its original location. This is the same as the rest of the forest district. I have mugged hundreds of people on the side of the road in forest and never got in trouble for not moving them to a more hidden area because, it is a mugging zone at the end of the day that just happens to be on a road that people are inevitably going to arrive at during the mugging. If it took place nearer to boat house or farm i would hide the user there however, those options (the only pieces of cover nearby) are very far away and simply mugging and leaving the user would bring much less attention then gp them all thhe way to these locations , considering the time difference(me going afk for a few seconds after the mug is not a contradiction to this because i had something to take care of irl and couldnt have changed that either way the mugging took place).
JUSTIFICATION FOR MY ACTIONS
As i stated in the report, the only "less exposed area" nearby to the place that the gp was initiated is either behind farm or in boathouse. Nobody wants to be forced all the way to either of these locations whilst being gp and then mugged which is one of the reasons i chose not to do this. The second reason i chose not to force them away from there is because the rule states
"You must not mug someone in public view or force them out of it". The user was pretty obviously already in the public eye and the only other precaution that i could have taken would force him far out of it.
Second of all , when mugging the user I did take precations by having several people watching the road ahead and notifying me about any passers by (only 1).
Thirdly , another reason i decided to mug the user on spot and leave is because of the assumption that they could live at farm. Knowing the people in farm and the user we mugged we knew it was likely they were basing at farm and moving them closer to it would present their ability to hear the mugging. This ruled out the possibility of moving them closer to farm making boat house the only option which I decided was simply too far and frustrating for the user being mugged.
