Unban Appeal - Don Weasel

[Don Weasel]

Your Character or Steam Name: Don Weasel

Your SteamID Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:162705872

Your Discord ID#: smokaveli666

Reason for ban: NITRP, Char abuse, LTAP

Length of ban: Permaban

Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): 

I was in a situation where I had stolen someones oil barrels. The player made a dispute and called the admins, who decided he was allowed to PK me. We were both returned to the Rockefeller garage (Where I stole the barrels), and somehow — by pure luck — I managed to escape with only about 2 HP left after he hit me 2–3 times with his gun while I was running away. After surviving and getting away, I later switched to my second character and went back to the garage to see what was going on. There were cops on the scene, and I was curious about what happened after my escape. The other player, frustrated that I got away, called the admins again and accused me of cheating. My question is: how could this be considered “char abuse” or “LTAP,” when there is a system that prevents you from switching characters for several minutes after taking damage?

Why should you be unbanned? 

I really enjoy the server and the community, and I don’t want this situation to be the reason I lose access permanently. I understand that from the admins’ perspective, it may have looked like I was abusing the system or avoiding roleplay, but that was never my intention. I see now that I should have handled things differently and made sure there was no confusion about switching characters or returning to the scene. I believe this was a misunderstanding rather than me intentionally breaking the rules, and I’m asking for another chance to show that I can contribute positively to the server.

I'm not sure how you don't see your ban as justified so I will break it down-

- You stole 8 barrels of oil from another player which is about $25,200 in profit. right after stealing the oil you switched chars. You are not giving the affected player the chance to react accordingly. That is char abuse and failure to RP.
- You where pulled into a sit and the affected player decided he wanted to continue the RP and have his chance to PK your char for stealing from him. Yummeko stepped in for the PK and we watched over the interaction. During that time you took damage. Called 911 and then switched chars once again after already being told this is a bannable offense. 
- You switched Chars a few times and even on the other hovered around the interaction after calling the cops on the original char. 
- This all leads to my ban of Not Intending to roleplay given the multiple char switching, Char abuse since switching is how you avoided getting PKed, and Leaving to avoid role play when you knowingly where put back for an interaction that you purposefully avoided by switching chars.

I understand why it looked like character abuse and LTAP, and I can see now that switching back and forth gave the wrong impression. That wasn’t my intention — I wasn’t trying to avoid punishment, I was just confused and curious about what was happening after I escaped. I should’ve handled it differently, and I’m sorry for how it affected the situation and other players’ RP.

I really enjoy Diverge and don’t want to lose access over this mistake. If possible, I’d appreciate a second chance, even if it means a PK, a temp ban, or another punishment instead of a permanent one.

-2 your replies pissed me off

The fact that he tried to ban evade is even worse how long was the original ban going to last and did he have any Pos before. I think that he is still a bit new to the server seeing as I've hired him at the Lucky lady and we have this thing where we check his time. Maybe if you guys gave him another chance to rethink his actions maybe just maybe he wouldn't do it again.

Bruh.

 

Do we have evidence that he immediately switched? Or are we just choosing to believe things without proof?

I really wish I or someone else had a clip, because I was tucket away hiding in a small bush for a few minutes before I switched characters. I had escaped him fair and square before switching and that's a fact. I was laughing my ass off cause of how bad his aim was, and how blind he was when I got away. I really did not expect getting banned afterwards. I just wish you would have let me explained myself earlier and we could have resolved this on the server instead of on the forums.

Original reason aside, can you please touch on the four evasion attempts?

I tried a couple times to get back on the server after the ban. I know this probably made me look worse. The thing is, Diverge is the only garry's mod server I enjoy and it’s basically the only one I actually want to play. When I realised I was banned I got impatient and frustrated, and I let that shi get the best of me.  Just me being mad and making a dumb decision because I really didn’t want to lose access to the server.
