Retracted

It's been 4 years. Read the rules.

I understand the sentiment but this suggestion doesn't really do much. You're saying 'make this better' but then you don't suggest an alternative or identify slowdowns. Certain aspects of the court system can maybe be integrated. automated or optimized on a script side, which is planned to-do, but what are the actual slowdowns outside of 'the people that volunteer their time to do the courts took long because they are juggling 20 other cases and their real life' A time limit is ultimately the other real suggestion but that will just force default judgments and people dont like that / always complain when that happens.

Hello @will.801, Thank you for making this appeal. Before we get started on reviewing this I want to clarify as to why the ban was extended to permanent at that time. (2021) CONSOLE Ban length changed to permanent due to ban evasion attempt on SteamID, STEAM_0:1:97411951 2021-03-21 15:05:56 CONSOLE Ban length changed to permanent due to ban evasion attempt on SteamID, STEAM_0:0:590112455 2021-03-23 22:46:23 That being said, could you please edit your appeal to be more presentable and give better structured reasoning for an unban. You can review other previously accepted appeals to see how they format and structure themselves here -> https://divergenet.works/forum/32-accepted/

I understand it can be frustrating, but conflicts are dynamic and ever changing based on the circumstances or issues that present themselves. They also can change based on what the two alliances agree on, like that melee brawl in the park, it's more about helping to create roleplay instead of just gunning people down, these aren't hard rules that will apply to every single conflict moving forward they are unique to the situation of this particular conflict, and sometimes they need to be added or modified based on the issues or complaints either side has. So since they are dynamic they can't be hard added to a post or rule page, and they only apply to the select factions in a current conflict, meaning the sole responsibility lies on the faction leaders or alliance members in sharing those messages and rules with their underlings. Now I was told that the Gambino HC had notified the relevant people in their faction of the safehouse conditions, so I have no reason to believe the circumstances surrounding it are in any doubt as i trust that they did their due diligence, especially considering this hasn't happened to anyone else.

I'll reiterate the points made when i spoke to Happy. - Safehouses were established as part of the conflict escalation as agree'ed on by both alliances. It aims to provide protected buildings for each side to hide high command members who may be subject to hits during the conflict. Both sides were made clear that if a raid or shootout occurs on a safehouse it can and will be a pk for the attackers whereas non safehouses can be raided without the regular consequence of a pk. What the two safehouses were should and would have been communicated to you by your faction leader. Several points were brought up. - They had keys - They had a room there (hence the keys) - They didn't start the shooutout! When the conflict started the owners of the imperial requested all Gambino keys were removed from their doors and for some reason they weren't taken off the front doors, either due to an error or a saving issue. With that being said, knowing you had no reason or business to have keys to that building instead of reporting the issue to get it resolved you abused the fact you had them to gain access to a building you shouldn't have had. Causing issue and getting killed, then using the key excuse as a way to get out of it instead? A point was made that having the keys were valid because the faction had a room there, but when i asked what the code for the doors were no one was able to produce the correct code for the month of April, proving that argument to be null; or argued in bad faith. Now, whether you had keys or not, the main issue is the undeniable fact that you went to an opposing safehouse, with the direct intention of starting a problem (dropping trash) and when confronted attempted to leave and then escalated via punching them. From any other perspective how else is that meant to be perceived other than an attack on a safehouse? They don't know your intention, they don't know if the raid is sanctioned or not, you could have been scouting out looking for one of their HC members to PK for all they know. You can't go and start a gun fight at an opposing safehouse then say "ope well it was actually just RDM" or "yea well but i have keys so its ok" In your own clip you clearly coordinate the dumping of the trash, and also use /y to yell asking"u got keys??" + had jew curls on, pretending to be an employee there, pretty evident you two went to drop trash, draw attention to it, then when they pressed Gallo you were going to shoot and wipe them. The only logical explanation is you were somehow unaware it was a safehouse (Which means you're blaming your faction leader) or simply believed because you had keys / it wasn't a 'sanctioned raid' you could avoid the pk. As for the metagame claim the clip provided by the opposing individual clearly shows them deafened in discord and directly witnessing you enter and drop the trash, so no proof of metagame to be had. If the roles were reversed and the opposing alliance had done the same sort of dumping -> shootout on your safehouses then the result would be the same, that person would be pk'ed. It's pretty evident when the situation is fully explained it becomes obvious as to why this happened, rather than throwing around hearsay accusations.

I am inclined to agree with Jmoorsey, I think the proper punishment for you is to wait those full 30 days, especially given your last ban appeal. Maybe it will drive home the point of what a permanent ban means.

Excerpt from the rules page ^

Stellar argument. That appeal was accepted because his flags were taken 1.5 years before the appeal. Are you saying Mr. Recoil here should wait 1.5 years? Hush up

Re-appeal with more effort please.

Unban from the last perma. What's different?

Applicant has not logged on in over 2 weeks. Alive? @Merfos419

Seems like an extra inconvenience rather than a dynamic part of gameplay.

There was a prison on Miami. It was used for 4 days then abandoned because prison roleplay sucks.

I'll continue what I was saying following our discussion in your support ticket. I'm not unsympathetic to the possibility that you had an old cheat folder that was not in use on your PC. Obviously no one with actual cheats would willing screenshare their game and files to staff, especially without clearing out the trash bin, but you can understand how suspect it looked to the investigating staff members that there was a cheat folder deleted just before you shared your screen with them. I do understand and see that yes you are a long-time positive member of the community and while there is no direct proof that you were ever cheating on our server I do think it does cast enough doubt that the PK's that came from the situation had to be reversed. That being said the staff members who did go through your files attest to the age of the folder and their contents having no usable executable file. Additionally in these cases we don't need either 'side' to an issue speculating about the on-goings of a staff investigation. I think the staff members involved handled it correctly, even if there wasn't fully immediate actionable proof. I am satisfied with what I have been shown and told afterwards to justify this unban.

Hello Sosa, Your ban record is quite extensive and I don't feel comfortable with giving you another chance sans conditions. Please make a support ticket to discuss this further.

I banned you, I don't recall the exact situation but based on your ban record it seems you only got on to VDM then disconnect, the effort in this appeal is also quite poor.

Vaguely aware of this issue. It'll be looked into

honestly I had this idea, a cute little scratcher minigame thing that would likely be sold at the hot dog vendors. But it's pretty low priority all things considered
