Powergame rule #2
Metagame Rule #11
Character Rule #6
Your characters should have no relation to one another and you obviously can't share or pass information from one character to another. The only reason you knew your friend was arrested and then switched to the alt was because you witnessed it / heard of it on one character (unless there was some sort of discord info metagame!) and despite being part of the initial situation that led to the arrest you attempted to intervene on a different character, you then hopped onto the cop character (only because of the knowledge you had from your 2 OTHER characters) to go ask around about the arrest and loiter.
And yes I understand your second character "saw the arrest" but if you were aware the arrest was 'still happening' and intentionally switch character and B line it to the spot so you can then claim IC knowledge you are still using information from your other character, you're engaging with the roleplay in bad faith to make that switch to then obtain it as 'IC knowledge'. Being apart of the initial situation and attempting to involve yourself on a different character is explicitly restricted.
Discharged on 3/26 (2 months ago) and you thought it was still active despite only loading it twice in the last 2 months, one of which was this situation.
Given your immense playtime, your past bans and your experience I think you obviously know better, I think you're intentionally try to, in bad faith, interpret the rules in a way that somehow exonerates you from wrong doing, despite the clarity, and I think that all things considered the three days that 4lights gave you was incredibly generous.
Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied.
