Hi, staff member that took your flags here. I was made aware of the situation after other staff had reported it in staff chat. When I went to check your logs, I seen you had placed the props down in the same places multiples time repeatedly right after they had been removed by others doing the /mes to remove them. Reminder, you were doing this while mic spamming. You were using the props to further assist in your minging, thus they were removed for prop minge. You already had them removed before, you've already been told and given chances to use them responsibly. You continue to fail to show you have the ability to not abuse the flags, so they were removed from you again and I will be advocating they stay removed for an extended period this time, hopefully you will finally learn they are a privilege to be used responsibly, not a right. This is not a dark rp server. For other staff to check if they wish too as well, these are the last three you placed, last was across the street. You had at least two others just on your first pages of logs across the street with the others. Also note, the time between was way too short for actual RP as you want to argue. https://ibb.co/hBGWZx6 https://ibb.co/HgmpV3z https://ibb.co/3rStCVN

What in the shit post

Again, it was multiple times, you also came all the way down the road from where the pharmacy was to the where the manhole was. At least twice. Even in the cooper that is plenty of time to stop. When you see a group of people in the road, that's not an excuse to purposely hit them all. It was not just picking up a body a couple of times as well. You actively were not allowing the cops to do their RP and were inciting others to keep getting involved and encouraging others to mess with the body as well. I am not the only staff that witnessed this and multiple other staff had called you out for it as well.

Hi, banning admin here! First off, your ban was only partially for the RDM. The majority of your ban was two other things most of all. The first part of if it was you at least twice in the time I was spectating the scene, ran your cooper through multiple people. The first time it happened is what led to Z67H being ragdoll abused all the way down to the ice. The other player involved was warned for it as they had no history, but your multiple VDMs is what caused it to happen. Secondly, it was the constant minging and NITRP that came with you purposely forcing yourself into a situation you were not involved in and moving the body / keeping officers from chalking the body as they were fearing for their life after you RDMd Darnell. While you may be able to forgive Sosa for his RDM to get him unbanned, I will not be forgiving you for the multiple VDMs and the minging. You have an extensive history of NITRP and I am hoping this time away will teach you to betetr respect the RP in the server and especially the RP of others.

When you were told you were being banned for the RDM, your response was to also report him. You reported him, he faced his consequences. If you are saying you forgive him, sure overturn it I guess. His argument of saying it wasn't reported doesn't hold up as you did report him though and provided me the clip when you did report him.

Hi, banning admin here! Z67H had reported the issue on the ice, then he also had brought up the clown shooting cops. When I brought the clown in question, he had reported that you had also RDMd him and provided me with the clip of you revenge RDMing him after he had already died and so had you. The clip can be found here. You say the clown was okay with it, but he did report you for the RDM and Z67H had reported the clowns RDM on you guys.

Post it with the proper format to have it reviewed. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied.

Due to all of this beginning with a fail mug, this is not how this scenario should of played out. It should of been handled by staff after a report was made. Now, with that being said, this whole situation will be voided. The terms of that being though this character will be removed from the faction, all IC knowledge you had of the faction is voided, and there can be no retaliation on your part against the faction (targeting, snitching, etc). If you are caught breaking any of these terms, there will be severe consequences. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

Hi there flag removing adman here! Your flags were removed for prop pushing at the time and you had a previous note for it. I can't seem to find the clip from how long ago it was. I would feel fine returning your pet flags.

Hey there, PKing admin here! The HC has already flushed out the reasons for the orders, so I will just clarify from the staff perspective. I was given orders for you for the reasons already listed several times above. With your time out of the faction I confirmed the orders were put out within the two weeks of you leaving and they were so the PK was approved to move forward.

While this may be a valid kill, it is not a valid PK. It is clear in the clip that you had no intent of starting a violent confrontation with the police, you were only ever aimed at and intended to kill the civilian. While the cops rightfully killed you to protect them, they started the direct violent conflict with you. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

While you may believe it to be a false arrest, it’s easier to void a false arrest ICly than to appeal a PK. At the end of the day, you began a violent confrontation with police and lost causing your death. In the future, I hear it’s not a good idea to shoot at cops. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.

While you may have been frustrated from others being there prior and while he may have been annoying you, as jmoorsey pointed out there is proper rules for escalating situation such as this in a way that are not deemed as RDM. Due to this and your POs, this ban and time will stand as such. I hope you take this time to brush up on the rules of our server as you have already RDMd multiple times now. Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.

Hi, PK'ing admin here! While your PK log was only posted today, I had been approved to withhold it till it was done due to fears of metagame because of who you were. Orders were put on your head on 8/6/2024. To prove the timeline of events, here is the screenshot of when your orders were originally put on you and here is the logs confirming when you left the faction which was 10/14/2024, well after the date of orders being given for you. Happy has already posted a more flushed out reason for their orders, as well as you leaving the faction without his blessing to do so. Edit: For further clarification here is the enlarged orders.

Hi, banning admin here! While you may choose to ignore me explaining the situation to you, doesn't mean I didn't! I told you that you had been brought for breaking NLR. The clip can be found here! Now, the reasoning for the length is two fold. First, as you can see from your notes and ban history (notes and bans) you have been given many chances to reform and become a valued member of our community. Your last month long ban for the exact same reasons just ended on the 20th. You first joined the server on June 23rd 2022. Since then you have 4 days and 59 minutes of playtime. Your total ban time? 85 days and 15 hours. That is almost three months of reflection you could have taken to be a better player in those four days. Second, as seen in the clip you knew exactly what you were doing, you even attempted to power game to the officer after you had respawned and ran back. While you did not kill him in this instance, I'm sure you would have if he had not defended himself especially with your history of RDM and MRDM! While you may find the ban time excessive, I am hoping you use this time to appeal in the future and turn yourself into someone that contributes to the community!

You’ll be around and be a nuisance for two weeks then be gone again

Hi, banning admin here! So, in this clip, which I believe is yours. or even your friends - either way was given to me by you, you can see all of said rule breaks. You were actively, and admittedly VDMing the officer on repeat. The metagame is you and your friend communicating the entire time over Discord that can be heard in the clip. The NITRP comes from your repeated pattern of never taking the RP seriously. You come onto the server, get a civilian char, and proceed to not RP at all but instead be a constant nuisance to the rest of the community. While you do not directly dispute these claims against you I wanted to ensure to clarify what you were banned. Now, the reason I will be recommending you keep the remainder of your time banned. In this community we ban, not to punish, but to hopefully rehabilitate. In this appeal you already show signs of not taking the punishment serious and for that reason I believe you have not been rehabilitated. I recommend you take these last two days to read the rules, reflect on what RP you will actually do in the server, and be ready t come back as a valuable member of our community and not just a rule breaking minge.

Hi, banning admin here! Let's go through this point by point together. Yes, you were not brought into a staff sit. Why? There was no reason too. I had taken the time to collect the evidence confirming what had happened. As you already explained here, it was someone you admitted to knowing OOCly that you gave a firearm too illegally. This was already confirmed during my investigation and would have just been reiterated during a sit. Yes, that is this clip here which was given during the initial report. In it, you approach who was identified as @ix_crazy_xi while consulting with other staff who recognized him. The reason it took two days, not three, is because with your history I knew this could turn into this, a permanent ban so I did my due diligence. During that time I uncovered quit a bit of unsavory evidence. First, it was in fact your other char (Alphonso "Neph" Varese) that gave his char (Bobo Salamon) the Skorpion as confirmed with these logs here. Second, I ensured I checked both that i had the correct name and char ID before checking if he had a valid class 3 license. Confirming the correct char here and firearms registry here. So, after confirming that you knew he was illegally carrying that gun and then calling off the RP after you knew it would get back your other char; that is the definition of metagame. Straight from our own rules page for rule abbreviations - "Metagame = Using Out of Character information In-Character" In this server it is common knowledge, practice, and enforced that anything over voice unless in a staff sit is always apart of RP and to be considered IC and can be acted upon as. In this clip you are not in a staff sit. You are clearly in RP in front of the Continental hotel. This again is by definition metagame. You would not be the one pressing charges, the DA's office would be. At that point it would be out of your hands as soon as an investigation is opened. You have been around long enough, played cop long enough you know this is not the situation. Also, is not power game. It is RP being brought about from IC interactions, not someone forcing you into RP by planting evidence or false reports. Quite frankly it is not an over reaction. It is the result of you knowing the rules and repeatedly breaking them countless times over and now facing consequences for them. You were already permabanned before in the past and was granted grace to return to the server. Even after your return, you have continued to RDM, promote others RDMing, and metagaming on multiple occasions. Here and here, is your list of notes. You will see on this list you have multiple counts of metagame. Those multiple counts of metagame start to look even worse when you look at your ban history which can be found here. You came back from your permaban and continued to metagame, get banned for it repeatedly and even RDM and get banned for it repeatedly. You have been given countless chances to show us you have learned from your mistakes and to become a valued member of this community yet have continuously failed to do so. Your actions have escalating consequences in this community and unfortunately you have now reached the highest level potential rehabilitation we can offer to players for the second time.

Are you wishing to retract the appeal?

-1 I am sorry but the quality and effort put into this just doesn't stack up to what I expect from a faction application. While the slideshow is a cool touch, the rest of it is the same regurgitated basic ideas every faction has already had and has done. What was your plan to get a gambling license? Where were you trying to find an extra weapon racket lying around?

You may argue you were not directly involved in the final mugging that lead to your eventual death, you did partake in multiple fail mugs as the accomplice. You also admit to meta game in this appeal which does not help your case either. We have no reason to believe in the final mugging that you were not again a direct accomplice after a repeated pattern of being your friend’s coconspirator. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.

Your ban was actually only set for a day just ahead up. With that being said, the VDM is the smallest of your infractions here. You fail mugged multiple times, admitted to metagaming, and clearly had no intent of doing actual RP. While you may argue you weren’t the one tying them up, you served as the one using a melee weapon to both try and defend your accomplice and stand guard for them. You directly assisted, you are directly apart of the offense. Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.
