Right okay, I am going to give my honest opinion on this, in no way possible is this biased because Walker is in my org. (Like that would matter anyway, this is an OOC situation)
For starters Eddie, I feel that you are very disrespectful to Standish to reopen this post. You're pretty much shitting all over him, his authority and his admin decision, this is something that you should have taken to TS and spoke to the senior admins/Bolli about and let them deal with it because asking a load of mods and normal players who are lower in the ranking system than Standish himself isn't deemed necessary.
First things first, I feel that is it was very careless of Eddie to sell that M82 in a bazaar shop with no protection whatsoever or no view to the public, that is what caused this whole shit fest and you're mad about it. It was obvious it was going to happen.
Now with the video and 3.4, I have watched that video sooo many times and re read the rule tooo many times and with situations like this where both parties are at a neutral, you have to think "Who has the advantage/upper hand?" In this case it was Sky Walker. Why? Because you have to think how how heavy a M82 is, how long it will take to fire? And whose bullet will hit first? It seems that Sky Walker was in control of the situation here and if Eddie was to fire a shot of a M82 it has a very high chance of missing at this range and because of the recoil and weight of the gun, it would be more likely that Walker would win this situation.
With regards to 3.4
"Risks are deemed to be unreasonable when it can’t be appropriately and effectively justified; for example, if a player was to rob the bank and fail, leading to their death, that player would be expected to demonstrate to an administrator that they had a realistic and reasonable plan and/or mind-set to succeed."
This may have been a risk deemed necessary because 80K is a lot of money, now the realistic and reasonable plan would be, Kenneth being Walkers back up, if this failed and Walker died, Kenneth would have walked in killed Eddie, took the shotgun and took the M82, Kenneth would have taken the loot, survived and escaped the police. In this instance because Kenneth was on Walkers side, it would result in a victory to Walker.
Now there is ONE LITTLE FACT that I think everyone is forgetting here and I think that all the players here commenting throwing their weight and opinion around is. How did Walker know that it wasn't loaded? Because IC an M82 sells for 80K with no mags or ammo, everybody knows that and I paid 100K for my M82 with two mags. 80K is the basic price for an unloaded, empty M82. Because of that fact and the other facts mentioned, that is what is swaying my mind in Walkers decision and therefore means me -SUPPORTING this BR and +SUPPORTING Standish's decision.
