Unban Appeal - lewis2222 - GTA RP

Server: GTA RP
Character Name: Lewis Rock
Steam ID: 76561199122194093
Ban ID (just the numbers): 19170
Ban Reason: RDM
Why do you think you were banned: Hi Staff,
Hope you’re doing well.

I was banned for not giving enough roleplay before attacking another player, which falls under G1.2: Attacking another player without engaging in any form of quality roleplay is considered RDM. I completely understand how serious this rule is and why it’s important to keep the roleplay fair and enjoyable for everyone.
Why should we unban you: This was honestly all my fault, and I realize now that I misread the situation. Earlier that day, I watched three members in the same gang as me get held at gunpoint by NSC. They were pulled out of their cars and taken away. I saw Courtney near one of my friend’s cars during the situation but didn’t step in because they all had guns and I wasn’t armed. After they left I took my friend’s car to the impound so it would be safe

Later, while I was at impound, I saw Courtney drive in with a local car. She went up to the impound guy so I got off my bike and approached her. I told her to put her hands up, but I accidentally swung my machete the first time. She ran, and I ended up attacking her. At the time, I thought KOS was still active because Frank, the leader of NSC had told us multiple times on the phone about it. Looking back I realize now that might’ve only applied to specific days and I misinterpreted the situation.

This whole thing was a mistake on my end. I didn’t intend to RDM anyone, but I can see now that I didn’t give enough roleplay in that moment. I’ve learned from this and thoroughly went through all the rules to make sure nothing like this ends up happening again and in the future, I’ll make sure to engage more and create proper roleplay before doing anything like that again.

I’m really sorry for my actions, and I appreciate you taking the time to read this appeal.

Cheers.
Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes

How do you accidently attack someone?

Even if this is the case, why did you not stop?

Cheers for the reply.

The initial swing with the machete was genuinely a mistake. I had it equipped and when I tried to interact with Courtney I accidentally swung instead. I didn’t mean for that to happen, but I can completely understand how it looks like its intentional.I didn’t stop after that because I panicked in the heat of the moment, I was worried that if I stopped, she might call for backup or try to jump into her car and get away. With everything that had happened before this (seeing my gang members taken and the KOS calls from Frank) i just went with it which looking back at now was not smart for me to do.
Thanks again for reading this reply

Thanks for the response @lewis2222 .

Let's say you were placed into exactly the same situation again, how would you play all of this out?

Hello @Danoo, I hope you are well.
I just want to reiterate in this response that I am sorry for my actions and I don't want to be in the forums again I hope this can be resolved and the staff team can trust me enough to let me back into the RPUK server, To answer your question if I was placed in this situation again I would try and be a bit more composed after the initial accidental swing of the machete I would've reiterated to the subject to put there hands up and comply with me. I feel like a lot of adrenaline was going through me in the moment and the accidental swing, I just got overloaded and just I thought in my head in that moment I've hit them now and they might return with a gun or a machete as well so I decided to follow through but in hindsight I should've been more composed and roleplayed it out.
Thanks for taking the time to read this reply I hope with this reply it can take me one step closer to being unbanned.

Hello @lewis2222 , I am well thank you for asking, I hope the same applies to yourself!

You've mentioned here that essentially the rules you broke were due to adrenaline and being overloaded in the moment.
Essentially, how can I trust this won't happen again moving forward? Surely if I unban you then I'm running the risk of a repeat?

Hello, @Danoo Yes I am good thanks for asking.

I did mention that the mistake was partly due to adrenaline and being overloaded in the moment obviously this isn't an excuse for breaking rules and I am sorry for being in the forums making an unban appeal and wasting the time of staff.

I can guarantee you this will not happen again as I was in the Chippieones at this point in time and the mentality they had just wasn't good and I was under a lot of pressure at the time due to this.

My friends have already left the Chippieones and I will be doing that if i do get the chance to fly back into the city, Therefore this type of nonsense will not be happening from my part as now I've been banned it has given me a chance to reflect on these mistakes and know where to improve on.

To improve I will not get heated in the moment and make the server personal, The fight with NSC we were having was getting very toxic and just not enjoyable by both sides and I was taking the fight very serious which I shouldn't have as this is a roleplay server with hundreds of people on it and everyone is there to just have fun and enjoy the moment.

IF i was to be unbanned as I said before I can guarantee that I will not return to forums as I know from my friends experience this could come with a lengthy cooldown which I want to avoid as I do enjoy RPUK and so my friends and we like to have fun and play together within the server

I hope with this reply it can take me one step closer to being unbanned and allowing the staff to trust me again.

Thank you for reading my reply.

Since September you've had 1 ban for RDM, 2 for Loitering and now this.

This is the perfect example of how the fair ban system (FBS) works.

Why haven't you learned from previous mistakes?

Thank you for the reply @PsianaRama and sorry for the wait.

From my previous mistakes I hold myself accountable but I would like to quickly back my case. From the 2 most recent bans were Loitering (G6) the most recent one as soon as I seen the alert telling me to leave I did which led to me cruising around near the kraken as I was going off soon as it was late then I seen a Police car which I had an encounter with previous to seeing him and it didn't end well so I drove up and kicked his bike which led to him following me then rammed me off my bike which unfortunately pillboxed me whilst I was on route to pillbox at lower legion parking is where I got banned. I hold myself accountable by the way I was driving at MRPD on my bike.

With the RDM (G1.2) That I got banned on the 09/11/2024I had previously been told by members of Chippieones That it was KOS (Kill On Sight) that had been said by Frank (NSC Member) on a phone call earlier that week which I acted one which i did with Courtney at Mechanic Impound where i caught her without any other members so i took the chance to attempt to stick up her which led to me miss clicking and swinging at her with a machete which i then realised that if i didn't continue she would radio for backup or pull a gun is completely stupid off me because i didn't realise that it would've got me in the situation where i am currently.

Thank you for reading this reply and hope all is well.

With your history this is your 4th ban on record;

15/09/24 - 1 day per FBS - RDM

27/10/24 - 2 day per FBS - Loitering after multiple kicks/warnings

07/11/24 - 7 day per FBS - Loitering and arguably Baiting

09/11/24 - Perm - Report resulting in yourself being caught for RDM

I'll save us all the effort of reading your multitude of warnings,
You have been on a downward spiral leading to you now having to appeal.

You need a longer time to reflect and renew so I'll be declining this with a 6 month cooldown from your last ban date.

You can appeal again on 09/05/25.
