Unban Appeal - BigNicky - GTA RP

Server: GTA RP
Character Name: Nick Enyerfings
Steam ID: 76561198296490289
Ban ID (just the numbers): 16937
Ban Reason: C2.2
Why do you think you were banned: This is a direct copy & paste of my last appeal as I feel I explained properly what happened in my last appeal. https://www.roleplay.co.uk/threads/unban-appeal-bignicky-gta-rp.424834/

I was banned for passing a combat pistol and 16 bullets through pillbox door whilst it was locked. This occurred after an incident in which a gun fight took place within the pillbox. Pillbox staff had locked the doors and the police were carrying out searches on everybody who was locked inside.
I did this as I did not want to lose these items. I asked my friend to come to the door and told him that I would hand him keys to my car, and asked him to lock it. I then handed him the items. I realised almost immediately that what I had I done broke the exploiting rule, however due to how quickly everything had happened I did not think about this before carrying out this action. I was then in 2 minds about asking for the items back, but did not want to ask my friend to break the same rule that I had just broken so I left it.
I was teleported to the roof shortly after by Dano and Kyle where they asked me to explain what I had just done and why I had done it. After a brief chat I was then permanently banned from the server. Fortunately I was not searched whilst in pillbox however I completely understand how my actions would have effected the roleplay of the situation had I been searched as I had brandished my weapon within the facility before being locked in.
Why should we unban you: Since my last unban at the end of 2023 I have spent a lot of time within the server. I came back into the city with the goal of providing a high level of RP and building relationships with others on the server.
I believe that I have been able to achieve that with very few hiccups. 2 permanent bans within a 12 month period is understandably difficult to justify, and I was gutted when speaking to Dano and Kyle about my actions and the reasoning behind them. I took the ban on the chin and accepted their reasoning for doing so. In my time back in the city I have built valuable relations with many different people partaking in many different areas on roleplay, I believe I have proven myself to be capable of providing valuable roleplay in various scenarios and would love for the opportunity to continue to do so within the RPUK community.
Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes
 
Good afternoon @BigNicky , I hope all is well with you? :)

I know you said there wasn't much thought from your side before going ahead and passing a Pistol and bullets through the door but I want to understand the mentality?
You say you almost immediately knew you had done wrong, but, after talking with a bunch of you at separate times you all went with the same story of: "After the first person got spoken to we realised we did wrong".
So we've a little bit of a conflicting statement here.

Why would you pass these items through the door? What was the mentality? Were you just trying to "win" the situation in a sense by not getting caught?
I can only assume if you weren't spoken to by staff, you'd have just attempted to get away with exploiting.
 
Hi Danoo, I’m very well thank you, I hope you are too.

I did say that I realised almost immediately, I believe in our chat I did mention not wanting to ask my friend to give the items back for the same reason explained in my appeal (it was over a week ago now, my mind may be a bit blurry on that). I did not know that anybody else had handed items through the door until after Billy had been banned.

In the moment I was definitely looking to win. I had been downed in the gun fight and then cuffed half way through being helped by the NHS. (I believe this was put through as a complaint by the NHS staff at the time) so in the moment as soon as I had been uncuffed I radio’d through to my friend to meet me at the door so I could “pass him keys to my car” so that if I was searched I would not have anything illegal on me.
In the time it took from the initial radio, to him getting to the door I should have taken a moment to realise what I was doing but unfortunately I did not.

As to your last point, I can obviously only speak for myself and admit that I would have tried to get away with exploiting had I not been spoken to by yourself and Kyle.

Thanks,
Nick
 
Hello @BigNicky , I am well thank you for asking!

As to your last point, I can obviously only speak for myself and admit that I would have tried to get away with exploiting had I not been spoken to by yourself and Kyle.
Appreciate your honesty with this.

In the moment I was definitely looking to win
What is your overall purpose on RPUK?
We're a roleplaying community, we're looking for players who can embrace and enjoy any given roleplay scenario. Players with a win/loss mentality are not what we're looking for here as this is definitely not Call of Duty ;).
 
Hi Dano,

My purpose within the community has definitely become more serious in the last couple of months. This is due to being quite a high up member within The Rising Suns gang. I have definitely stepped up in terms of roleplay and how I try to present myself within the community and I do genuinely enjoy the losses just as much as the wins. The scenario in question was purely a lapse in judgement and is not something that I have done previously, or will repeat in the future.

I once again apologise for my actions, but if you do ever want to 1v1 on call of duty just dm me😉

Hello there @BigNicky

As much as I appreciate the honesty, I have half a mind sending you away for at least 3 months.

Here is why - 2 permanent bans in 12 months is bad. Nothing that´s super unusual, but still not great. You could come back from that, however, looking at these bans make red flags come up all over.
A ban for combat logging because a scenario didn´t end the way you would have liked it, then lying to staff about it blatantly. Now, blatant exploiting to not lose gear, dragging other players down with you.

This doesn´t scream "roleplayer" or ever so slightly suggests that you are trying to be a valuable member of this community. All it tells me, is that you are willing to cheat and lie to get your way.

Give me one good reason why I should allow someone like that back and not send you away for a good while.
 
Hi @Sammy

I can fully appreciate why you would feel that way, however I hope that this appeal can somewhat prove, as mentioned in my last appeal in December my current headspace regarding the lying in my first 2 appeals. I stand by everything I have said in this appeal, as well as my last and have told the complete truth even when it makes me look worse, for example when Danoo asked about what I would have done if not taken to the roof.

I believe that in the space between my 2 bans I have found more enjoyment within the server and have made more connections which have allowed me to build a storyline in which I wish to continue. Going forward I am going to withdraw myself from the conflicts in which I seem to find myself more and more involved in recently and focus on trying to revive the racing scene within the city, something that I believe a lot of people will find enjoyment in doing.

I hope this somewhat answers your question,

Nick
 
Very well.

Let me tell you the one thing that was your saving grace here - You were honest and took responsibility.

However, this will be your golden chance! If we see any more win mentality, anything even close to exploiting from you again, the doors will be shut for good. Any ban within the next 6 months will be permanent and the likelihood of coming back at all will be very slim as well.

Do not waste this opportunity!

Unbanned.
