A question about VDM

[UKCATSFAN 2]

 

Would like to get a clarification on a scenario if I could. 

 

   I was a passenger in a Hatchback inside the city of Prygos. As we round a corner, we make contact with a Prowler that knocks us into the gas station. As we back up to get back on the street, the player driving the Prowler exits his vehicle, which is right in the middle of the roadway. As we are backing up, our car hits that player and just knocks him down. We don't think much of it and continue driving forward to the Vigi HQ in Prygos. We exit at the HQ and about a minute later, the player from the Prowler opens fire on both of us from up the street. He continues to fire, killing both of us. 

 

   Is backing up and hitting him considered an engagement? Keep in mind that we had been knocked off the road, was backing up already when he exited, and he exited in the middle of the road. Is that reason to open fire on us? Does that justify him killing us? 

 

Ive searched the rules and I feel like that was RDM. The situation continued for about 30 mins and eventually ended up with me catching a ban for RDM, although he tried to steal my car twice before I actually shot him for it. So, I was just curious about this situation and was hoping I could get a clarification on this.

 

 

Thanks for the time!

Hitting someone, running them over is not valid initiation - if you run Someone over they can't just open fire on you without any form of verbal or text engagement

I can guarantee that it wasn't me. I haven't been in a prowler in a few weeks, and I haven't logged on as a civ in probably a couple months.
