10 days

 

Reason for appeal (dispute/apology):

Hello, I wanted to come here to apologize for what I did. I understand and agree that actions have consequences and that I am in the wrong. I would like to take full responsibility for my actions. I didn’t have a clear understanding of the rules and should have taken the extra time and effort to ask and clarify things before I did them. I had no intention of trying to break server rules but can see how I clearly did so after it being explained. I agree that both chars should be PK’ed after understanding how it can affect the server. I’ve only been here a month or two on and off but have really enjoyed this server. I’ve met a lot of great people and tried to follow rules as well as try to always be asking questions so I know what I should and shouldn’t be doing. This server definitely stands out compared to most and that’s why I make an effort on it. I agree that I shouldn’t just come right back after what happened but I would like to ask for a lesser time of a ban. I start a new job next Monday and was exited to have this week to come play and grind stuff out before I have my mornings cut off from the server.

 

Why should you be unbanned?

At the time of the incident, I genuinely thought I had a good understanding of the rules after actively asking others in the community and the people I’ve been hanging around questions to avoid breaking the rules and had no intention of abusing the system. But i didn’t always get a clear answer. Unfortunately, looking from an outside perspective and talking with admins in more clarification of the rules, I now realize that I made several key mistakes:

• I gave my friend (Andre Dupont) a shipment of guns from my main character, Alisio Ramano, just to help him out. I wasn’t planning on using them myself, but later, when I made Lucien Dupont, I ended up using one of those guns. I now understand this breaks the rule about character separation and item sharing.

• I wasn’t thinking when I creating a character just for mugging purposes (Lucien) was considered Fail RP, since it avoids consequences tied to a main character, but now understand.

• I misunderstood the raid cooldown — I thought it applied to individuals, not groups. So when we lockpicked two motel doors, I thought we were within the rules.

• Lastly, my friend Andre never shot anyone. He was following my lead because I told him that I thought I knew what I was doing, which clearly wasn’t the case and I want to take full responsibility.

 

There was no metagaming during the actual RP scenario, I was defended when I should not have been in the VC at all. I’ve taken time to fully reflect on what happened, and I’m truly sorry for my actions. I really do enjoy this server a lot and want to continue playing in a way that respects the community and the rules. I hope that you can give me a second chance.

 

Additional Information (images, videos, etc):

No video or photo evidence available, but I’m happy to cooperate with logs or provide clarification if needed. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi, I was the staff member who issued your ban. You outline all the reasons for the ban, so there is not much I can explain. I issued you a ban with 50% less time than your friend due to your having no priors. 

 

[DopeAsRoe]

You seem to understand why you were banned, and I think your apology is sincere. However, 10 days is fair given all the reasons listed for your ban. Like Zeus said, there isn't much to say other than brush up on the rules.

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.
