  1. You’ll be around and be a nuisance for two weeks then be gone again
  2. 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.

    Perma appeal

    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.

    -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?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Hi, original banning admin here! Your initial ban was originally just for Global Rule 13 - Extreme Threats. This was after a series of events transpired that night I was given a report of you making claims of self harm and was given this clip. This usually would not be a cause for concern, but as I said this was a repeated pattern on this night. While I am sympathetic to the emotional duress you were feeling that night while under the influence and with how you were feeling while grief stricken, this a Garry's Mod server. This is not the place to spend hours trauma dumping then proceeding to make threat against your own life. That was the cause of your initial ban, it was then extended to a permanent ban twice more due to you attempting to ban evade and join the server on two subsequent alt accounts that were also permanently banned by the console automatically. The steam IDs of your ban alts are STEAM_0:0:213862737 and STEAM_0:1:914316594. While discussion of your alts is not my scope to discuss, your repeated attempts to ban evade joined with how the server made you feel emotionally, I do not see it being a good fit for you to return to the server at this time.

    While there may have been OOC terms used over the IC radio, which they will be given a little warning over; neither that nor the Discord message disqualify this as a valid PK. Every faction uses their Discord to organize meetings of all kinds. They had this meeting scheduled, they told you to show up, they proceeded with the PK while you were at this scheduled meeting. People use Discord all the time to set up in game meetings, you can’t only say something is wrong with it when it is used to not benefit you. Other than this, you were issued orders for breaking faction rules and being a liability. As explained already this is a completely valid reason to have orders put on you. 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.

    Note Appeal

    So after some more investigating, you were never noted by jmoorsey. There is no note from him to remove. That being said, if he had intended to note you it would have been appealed still. It’s very clearly an accident, while you may have killed someone with your car there was no malicious intent behind it. Your note appeal has been reviewed and accepted.

    PK APPEAL

    As stated earlier when you join a criminal faction they can kill you at any point if they feel you've broken their faction rules. In this case, faction leadership had issued orders on you after receiving evidence of you breaking their rules around mugging and scamming other members of the community. 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.
  14. He's just a really big Michael Jackson fan
  15. Hi, banning admin here! As explained to you when you DM’d me, the issue was not you getting him initially, it was you continuing to turn to run him over enough to get stuck on him and killing him. This situation with your already very recent history of the same offense, I had originally opted to issue the one day ban for you take a change to better understand the rules on our server. However, after speaking with you in DMs, I can see you are genuinely apologetic and wish to continue to improve your behavior and enjoy your time RPing in our city. With that being said I will recommend the ban be lifted.

    Flag Appeal

    You showed a repeated pattern of wanting to disrupt the meat shops RP. Between your actions on other characters and the one using props. While we do believe there is more to the story on why Bullets is now magically forgiving you with you being back in the faction, we have to take his reply here at face value as well. That being said, your flags will be returned to you. You have no leeway or second chances with your PET flags, don’t let it happen again. Your flags will be returned to you shortly. Your flag appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The blacklist will be lifted from your account shortly.

    Unban appeal

    You have been around this server for a while, you have been in trouble for RDM many times. The ban time for this is extremely generous giving your history. You should also actually take this time to learn about active and idle threats and what escalation is. Neither were followed in this situation and it would appear you have never learned them based on your POs. 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.

    Im sorry Byte

    We all have bad days. No reason to take it out on others just trying to enjoy their night. Take this time to cool off and come back with a clear head. Let's not start just shooting people randomly from a rooftop again!
  20. You clearly attempted to kill multiple people. Logs show a sporadic shooting of three different people, not a single targeted firing. Just too bad to get the third. Then immediately alt f4d to leave the server and try to hide, not because you were done playing. 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.
  21. While there may not be perfectly solid evidence with a clip, there is enough evidence to build a pretty clear image of what had happened especially with you already having multiple past offenses for this. You know the rules regarding vehicles and you chose to break them again. 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.

    Gelato's Ban Appeal

    You were given several chances to involve yourself with the RP before staff was forced to take action and you chose at multiple points to not engage in it. You are a more veteran player, you know you must partake in the legal RP if you find yourself in these situations. 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.

    Ban Appeal

    It is pretty clear you only experienced lag after you had found out you would be punished for your actions. As stated above your actions have consequences and in this case those consequences will be serving the remainder of your ban time. 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.
  24. There’s already mods that support it as well. It’s called Talk Modes. Don’t know it’s still supported or had any updates recently.

    -1 Appreciative that you also wish to help this community, but you don't have the playtime to actually understand and be able to help the community. The application also shows no true effort to give that want to help any real feet to stand on, it feels hollow. Also, you are just way too young.
