Reason for ban: NITRP, Minge, POs
Length of ban: 2 weeks
Reason for appeal:
This ban feels lazy and unprofessional, and I believe I was banned without a valid reason. I can't think of anything I did that violated the server rules. I was roleplaying appropriately and not affecting anyone else's experience negatively. For context, I'll explain what I was doing in character before the ban. I was at Blue Lobster the Diner near hardware, roleplaying as a man from the Middle East. After being served a chicken wrap, I screamed that it wasn't halal and demanded halal food. Following this dispute, I was given permission to enter the kitchen and bless the stove being used to prepare my food, which I did with an Arabic prayer. I felt this was a humorous skit and got along well with the waitress and the worker present. After being served my halal food, I ate it and then ran away without paying, leading the worker to chase me out. Probably 30 seconds after this event, I got banned without any prior sit. My first thought was, "Is dine-and-dashing against server rules?" because no other reason was provided for my ban. I exited the game a minute later and realized I forgot to clip the whole interaction. I have a bind on Medal that clips the last 5 minutes of my game, but when you exit, it doesn't allow you to clip anymore. If my actions negatively impacted anyone, please let me know so I can improve. As of now, I'm not aware of any rule violations.
Why should you be unbanned?:
In the clip I provided, you'll see what happened before I was banned, which was all an in-character (IC) issue. I was being chased by the cops after stealing a car, and to evade them, I drove into the water. Afterward, we entered a dock building to buy illegal firearms from a guy who then killed my friend. To escape, I jumped into the water. In a previous ban that was appealed (Duke Prince's Ban Appeal), I was banned for the same reasons: "Minge" and "No Intent to Role Play" (NITRP). The admin Caboose mentioned in the appeal comments that this ban was unjust and an IC issue. He said, "Due to the circumstances, this issue should have been resolved via a sit before any punishment. All I saw in the clips was simple harassment and could have been handled IC." This current ban, which is 10 days longer, should be treated the same way. Caboose stated that the issue regarding Duke Prince my other char should have been resolved via a sit before punishment. I believe this could have been fairly resolved via a sit. This is how I often roleplay, and I enjoy it. I provided the clip to show how I roleplayed on this character. If there is something that was "mingy" or NITRP, please let me know, and I will change my ways. If this type of roleplay isn't allowed, I am willing to delete the character and continue playing on my Wayne Wong character, who is a very successful suit salesman and cassette retailer.
Please consider this appeal, as this is the only server on GMOD that I play, and I have a lot of fun doing so. If my actions negatively impacted anyone, please let me know so I can improve. As of now, I'm not aware of any rule violations.
