Booby-Trapped Permakills: Am I allowed to appeal them?

[DillonVentures]

My question here is simple, Am I allowed to appeal a Permakill if it was caused by a Booby-Trap that I didn’t see and couldn’t react to?

Now, Willard Networks is one of the most.. detailed, I would say, HL2RP servers out there.
And I’ve played it before, I had a vague understanding of some of the systems in place, so one day I decided “Why not play a bit more of it, now that it’s in a new city?”.

So I joined the server, made a new character as I noticed the one I had made before was missing (But that’s not the point here!), walked around in the city, and jiggled around a few door handles as I had next to no clue where I was.
Most of them were locked, but when I tried to open this one door, my character was detonated by an explosive and got PK’d almost instantly.

Something about this did not feel right to me, but it’s best to not point fingers at a system that I’m not too familiar with (I’m more of a Semi-Serious player after all), so I want the community’s input on this, would it be valid to appeal something like this?

Hi! We're currently running a temporary event that takes place in 2008 (10 years before the current time in lore) and it takes place in Beijing, City 51.

Because of that, everyone had to make new temporary characters and they were able to apply for special characters before the event started. Once the event ends and we're back in C24, you will have your character(s) back exactly how you left them! I won't mind giving a new character some basic items they would have ICly if the character would have been around for a while, as long as it's not too powerful.

Most of them were locked, but when I tried to open this one door, my character was detonated by an explosive and got PK’d almost instantly.

I don't know the context behind this death and if it was preventable, but if you are ever in doubt, I actively encourage anyone to write a PK appeal just for peace of mind. The staff team will investigate your death and confirm if it was or wasn't within the rules.

The format can be found here: https://willard.network/forums/threads/pk-appeals-requests.304/

You can post your appeal here: https://willard.network/forums/wn/pk-appeal.103/

If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to me on this thread, contact any Mentor or staff on Discord, start a forum conversation with me or any of the mentors, or reach out to me on Discord (Neonity#1011). Have a nice day.

Oh, that explains why my character wasn’t able to be played.
Probably for the best that the character was PK’d then, don’t want my current character’s lore to become convoluted. (For context, the character I had tried to play during the event was the exact same as my current, alive one, as I wasn’t informed at the time that this took place before current events.)

Thanks for answering.
