Ban Appeal

[money blue]

Your Character or Steam Name: Martin Rix

Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): 76561199077522663

Your Discord ID#: money.blue

Reason for ban: Power game & Mugging Character

Length of ban: 1 week

Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): dispute

Why should you be unbanned? 

To start things off, I didn't know that dragging someone into an alley to mug them is against the rules, as if in a real life situation if you are unconscious someone can easily drag you into a private area and rob you of your items. I also thought it wasn't against the rules since the guy I dragged into an alley was standing in the middle of the road and got ran over. A mugging is never stated in the rule below, which is why I feel like the staff should be a little more lenient since a mugging is forcing someone against their will anyway and since its not listed in the things as followed "attempting to force players to do something outside of the server, etc..."

1. Powergaming is described as forcing a scenario or roleplay onto someone against their will, usually in violation of the rules. Using other game mechanics to powergame can include, attempting to force players to do things outside of the server, forcing players to commit suicide, forcing players to commit crimes, forcing players to RP or /me's against their will, forcing players to give their f3, etc etc,

Now, the mugging character was completely unfair. First, Jmoorsey or "jmeowsey" or whatever the hell his name is took a ticket for a fellow staff member by the name of "Bullets". I'm not saying he's in the wrong for this but I asked for a higher-up staff member to come and help with the sit, as they are both italian mains and I felt that the sit was going to be bias from the start. But anyways back to the mugging character dispute, I have only mugged TWICE since I have gotten hired, I've sold firearms, oil, had drug processors, a decent amount of cash, meth, literally anything to show that my character was not only for mugging. I am not active on any of my other characters except my police character which I clearly cannot mug on. Now not only did Jmoorsey just ban me, he also PK'd my character before he banned me for absolutely no reason. To my knowledge I have no priors for powergaming so I feel this ban and PK was unjust.

Hi, banning admin here. Just because you are "unaware" that what you did is against the rules doesn't justify you breaking said rule. Powergame is ALSO described as forcing someone into an RP situation, in your case, you dragged someone into an alleyway and instantly put them under FearRP. This is considered Powergame because he did not willingfully go into the alleyway with you, you FORCED him into the alleyway. Just because i do not like you does not mean that i will be bias, you two obviously have no intent to actually roleplay by any means, all you two do is mug, PvP, and minge. 

 

Hope this helps

I'm not worried about the power game, I take full responsibility for that and it won't happen again, however the mugging character ban was completely unfair. And, what makes you think all I do is mug, pvp, and minge? Its obvious your bias against me, you still have a bitchy attitude for no reason its pretty obvious especially with the "dumb" reaction. Its unprofessional for you to be acting like this especially when you are representing diverge networks as a staff member and banning people just because you don't like them.

After reviewing the situation, it was decided that your character was not a mugging character. However, you still did power game and fail mug someone, so your ban will be reduced. Make sure you read the rules.

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted.

The ban will be reduced to 1 Day.
