Ban ID (just the numbers): 19093
Ban Reason: G3.1
Why do you think you were banned: G3.1 - Using out of character information to influence the course of roleplay is considered metagaming and punishable by a ban. This includes but is not limited to: Twitch Streams, forum information and Steam messages.
The long and short of the ban is metagaming, the scenario came about after an altercation at bins between a group I was involved with and a rival group during the altercation me and one other member of my group were in a discord call causing comms that should've been made in game to spill into discord giving myself and other members of the group an advantage while leaving the opposing group at a disadvantage. At the time I made an appeal trying to claim innocence in all honesty this was the wrong thing to do I was blinded by the situation being explained slightly wrong when in reality it made no difference the rule had been broke and I was just trying to find an excuse or swerve the reality of my actions.
Why should we unban you: If I'm being honest ive hummed and hawed for a wee while now about writing this, Ive gathered quite the wrap sheet in my time here and didn't want to just appeal for the sake of it I found myself stuck in a loop of break a rule and appeal, which would result in me returning or being placed on a cooldown and once my cooldown was done id appeal instantly and just say things I thought staff wanted to here maximising my chances of returning rather than looking at my actions and realising what I was doing wrong. I think this loop played a big part in me gaining such a large list of bans to my name. So with this appeal I said to myself from the start if I do choose to appeal I'm not putting a time on it I want to choose to do it when I feel ready to come back and feel ready to contribute positively towards the server and when I do come to writing it I just want to be as honest as possible and hopefully with this I can get my point across well enough to make whoever's reading this feel how I feel and see that I can come back and contribute positively to the server.
Its been around 10 months since my ban so quite the while for the first few months I did keep up with the server but slowly that drifted, my interest to come back was always there what had dropped was my interest to see what everyone else was up to, it wasn't really till I had myself taken out the community in essence that I realised how much the server was consuming my life in many ways. Between being in the server then logging of spending time in discord then spending times on the forums or watching videos so much time was spent consuming the server even when at the time I thought I was taking a "break". In reality this led me to just caring to much at the time I was in denial thinking my rule breaks were just silly mistakes or misjudgement when in reality they for the most part were being done to give me an advantage or make me have a more enjoyable time at the pearl of others experiences looking back it was just a selfish outlook. I do believe if allowed back I wont let the game consume me as much and even if I wanted to l I couldn't commit so long to it with the likes of work, university and just life moving on for me a bit. I'm hoping this would help me to play the server when I can, play it with people that have became friends and just enjoy myself more without it being a be all or end all every time I login, which should all contribute towards me making everyone else I encounter also have enjoyable time better than what I was previously serving up. If I'm being honest I look back at some of my actions and how I acted and cringe a little as said I was just far to consumed by the game.
I do believe if allowed to come back and being back not caring as much but in a positive way, that I can be a positive addition to the server what I really enjoyed while playing and something id say I was good at was brining people together and making people have a good time. The majority of my time was spent building "baldy" gangs and again my attitude of wanting to win affected this I wanted to be more than a baldy gang without going through proper processes or doing it fairly. If allowed back but I would like to continue the same kind of RP building up a group its something I enjoy seeing people getting brought together there's folk that have joined my groups and have just became friends through that and continue to play games together at present day, I find this really satisfying to see. It also was a bit of a reality check after this ban in terms of the people in my group I seen most of my bans at the time as some sort of weird "flex" and after my ban members of my group just weren't happy at all at my actions as my actions affected them and affected the whole group and how the group could move forward I guess I misjudged just how big an impact I had on other players that's when I kind of realised I needed to get my act together and I'm just hoping I haven't realised it to late and there's still room for another chance to proof what Ive stated throughout.
Ive not spoke far to much about the rule break in question as I don't want to excuse it and don't have any excuses for it I hold my hands up to the error and hopefully my explanations throughout help you understand it a wee bit better. This appeal was more about my history as a whole and why it led to a point where my wrap sheet got so bad I couldn’t be trusted anymore I get that it will be a long and hard decisions for staff as a whole to take on board what I'm saying, its taken me months myself to really see why I was going so wrong and if I'm being honest I'm just a bit embarrassed with my actions and the staff time I’ve consumed because I cared to much about a video game, so for that I cant apologise enough. I know I was told in my original appeal ‘my time was done’ but I have been desperate to try and put across why I believe I’ve still got something to give and gained a bit of extra motivation in regards to this after seeing JB’s comments regarding being told similar but by showing the right effort and commitment getting another chance is possible and hopefully I can get that chance and proof my word. Ive kind of just spoke into the page with this appeal I just wanted to have my thoughts down and be as honest as possible without over analysing and perfecting everything that's wrote, I'm just hoping with what's said and answers to any questions you may have I can put across why I genuinely believe I'm ready to come back and contribute positively and whoever makes the decision can believe that too.
