Hello,
I would like to appeal the punishment I received for an alleged RDM violation and ask for clarification regarding what was expected from me in this situation.
We were defending a money machine located on our property. Earlier, the same group had already arrived, and we clearly warned them without making demands that there is a money machine on our property and that entering or climbing onto the property would result in us opening fire. This was done to avoid any misunderstanding and to set clear boundaries, as required by the rules.
As shown in the provided POV, I approached one of the individuals and informed him that we were playing by the same rules: if they climbed onto our property, we would shoot.
Shortly after this interaction, one of his friends began shooting at us. At that point, we clearly feared for our lives and acted in self-defense by returning fire.
It is important to note that when the shooting started, it occurred on the street, and the money machine was no longer relevant to the situation. From my understanding, the RDM effectively began when they opened fire on us without any demands.
Given this, I would like to understand:
I am not trying to argue for the sake of it; I genuinely want to understand what I did wrong in this situation and how I should handle similar scenarios correctly in the future.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
thats the POV provided in the thread that based on the punishment was given:

Given this, I would like to understand:
- What was I expected to do in this situation?
- Was I expected not to shoot back after being fired upon?
- Was I supposed to let myself be killed despite being shot at without demands?
