Ban ID (just the numbers): 19718
Ban Reason: (G3.1 OOC Info) Metagaming
Why do you think you were banned: Hi staff, thank you for taking the time to read through my appeal. After nearly 12 months away from the server, and having a lot of time to think through what went wrong in the moment, I believe im now ready to make a return to the server and to show you all how much ive improved as a roleplayer in general and if given a golden chance to, show with actions and not just words that im here to follow the rules.
I metagamed in part of a situation involving Hank & the police. I logged on to the server around 2:15pm and began driving round searching for people to interact with. I drove down towards civ impound where i noticed 2 police cars chasing a low-rider style car with 2 people in it. The car pulled up to me where i realised it was my friend (I wasn't aware it was my friend at all prior to him pulling up to me, although he was in a discord server call with myself and others) he then jumped out of his car and in to mine which then lead to the police chasing after us for a few minutes. The metagaming still didn't occur at this point. After a short while we both decided to decamp from my car and attempt to run away as we both had some red gulls.
I ran through a car park where Hank was the only person chasing after me so i pulled my gun out and was tazed straight away and cuffed. I then went down and was being taken to pillbox where i began talking on discord to my friend where i told him to die so he could come to pillbox with me, ironically he didn't hear me as he was not in the call but Hank heard me as i was hotmic'ing. I dont believe Hank heard what i said, but during our conversation in QE i told him and was honest as id simply lost my head and i ruined the RP experience for both myself and Hank.
Immediately after it happened I regretted it, I lost my head in the moment and to be honest, the situation didn't even warrant the way I acted. During that period of time I was becoming frustrated with the level of RP that was present in the city, and I think it lead to boiling over and sort of a "don't care" attitude. On reflection i should have just stepped back from the server and reset, which is how id go about it in the future. I don't believe in the slightest it reflects myself as a roleplayer, ive always tried to make interactions enjoyable for everybody involved. With the previous metagaming ban I have. On reflection of my previous metagaming ban, I can only put that down to naivety on my part, as I was relatively new to the scene as a whole.
Why should we unban you: I believe after nearly 12 months away from the server im ready to make a return. During my time away ive stayed away from FiveM in general, opting to try and develop my RP in RedM where ive spent a few months and I believe that im a much better roleplayer because of it. I deeply believe I can provide a great roleplay experience and the time ive had away from the server in general has just amplified that belief. I know I now have 2 metagaming bans on my record but I think I deserve one final chance to show how much ive changed since then, the first metagaming ban being pure naivety, the 2nd one was negligence, If given a golden chance to redeem myself, I will not be back on this side of the forums whatsoever. I understand why the rules are present in the server and the ramifications it has on the experience when people don't follow them.
Since my time away from the server i have played in a few different servers and honestly, nothing comes close to the community that you have built here and i thoughroughly believe i can still be a great asset to it. During my time away whilst playing other servers, i tend to either stay away from discord, and if i am on discord and playing a server, i stay deafened for the duration of my playtime. I understand the severity of metagaming and the affect that it has on the players and i regret what i did massively and can only try and plead for a final chance to prove to you that ive changed. and start to begin to rebuilt the trust back with staff.
If i was to be given a chance, id be open to whatever avenue staff would take to allow it to happen, like any ban within the next 3-6 months being permanent. Thank you to whoever reads and takes my appeal forward, I appreciate the time and effort.
Regards, Ellis.
