In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.
1.6 - I was banned as I was in a room called "Banning Room" in the private OG discord server after a couple of OG members had just been banned for attempting to mass RDM. I knew this was going to happen though.
What have you been upto in the last 6 months+ ?
In the last 6 months I've dedicated most of my time to trying to become a pro FIFA player while doing A-Levels on the side. I am doing Psychology, Politics and Economics in 6th form. On Wednesday I went to Bournemouth to compete in the FIFA ePremier League to become Bournemouth's representative at the ePL Live Finals in London next month. I got to the final and was unfortunately beaten by a better player than me. This is still one of my main focuses as I believe this is still possible (becoming a pro) while at the same time, I know I need to start working more on my A-Levels. I've also been enjoying watching my beloved Leeds do well in the Championship
Why do you want to return ?
I want to return because I love roleplay and everything this server actually is. The concept of a cops and robbers simulator is genius while at the same time there are so many other things to do. It's like a massively intensified version of life but simplified and I absolutely love it. The fact it's on Arma 3 just makes it perfect for someone like me. I've always been in love with not necessarily roleplay, but the things like it, action films, drama in school, acting in general, and that's how I've always been. The day I was banned, I remember I was frustrated that my friends had been banned, and in my head I couldn't justify it, I didn't feel as if they'd done anything wrong. Retrospect really is a wonderful thing and if I hadn't been so naive I probably wouldn't be banned right now. Anyway, to the point. I was frustrated and I couldn't come to terms with their ban and I know a lot of people felt similar except some more than others. I had the mentality of not necessarily caring whether I ended up banned or not, and this is another situation of retrospect, looking back, it's unreal how wrong and stupid I was because the last couple of months especially have been painful. Anyway, some people wanted to mass RDM and I knew it was stupid, but I thought, it's their decision it has nothing to do with me and who was I to stop them? Again, in retrospect I should have known this would only land me in trouble, especially only a month after as Wilco said, he did give me a golden opportunity which I blew and regret massively. But I joined the "banning room" after it had happened to find out what went on and I was shortly after banned from Teamspeak. At the time of this I wasn't overly bothered but had I known how long the next half a year would feel I know for a fact I would have been mortified at the fact I'd wasted the one chance I had to prove to you all that you made the right decision. I am mortified now and being totally honest, the stupidity makes me cringe. I think deep down I must've known but I was in such a frenzy of "oh I don't care" that I didn't think. That isn't an excuse either.
I miss this server and all my friends on it. I realise that the ones in OG who are still part of the community were my true friends all along. The ones in 183 didn't care about me, and that's where a lot of my "don't care" personality on the server stemmed from I believe. Every day I would hear stuff like "oh let's do this, if we get banned it's not the end of the world, who cares we'll just play on another server." I tried other servers with them before I was banned and it showed me that this was the only roleplay server out there, despite what was in the name of the other servers when you joined them. I'd like to mention I haven't spoken to any of those idiots while I've been banned and of course they inevitably got banned. All of them. But my real friends are still here, the ones who genuinely love the server for what it is, joining the toxic gang of 183 took away my love of the server I think. This was and will always have been a stupid mistake on my part.
I want to return simply for the factor of roleplay. I don't care about guns or anything honestly. I understand now that if I want to be trigger happy there are plenty of other "roleplay" servers to do that on and even other games to be honest. If I was to be unbanned I would genuinely be happy to receive a time period ban on any weapons just so I can prove to people that I can and do actually want to roleplay, I think the last few months I was here, people had it in their heads that I was here for the firefights which I completely understand and I believe is justified but I want that to change, I don't want to be seen as that person.
The last couple of months have been hard as I've honestly been desperate to return, the last couple of weeks especially I've been refreshing the forums a lot just waiting for people to be streaming. In fact, over the last couple days I've watched a good few hours of Harry White's past broadcasts of admin cam just to get my fix of RPUK. I've watched the majority of reports just so I can see what's going on and I actually enjoy making my own verdict on them.
Why should we unban you ?
I think I should be unbanned because I haven't touched Arma since I was banned which does show that I basically only play Arma when I can play RPUK. Over the 18 months I was a part of the community (not including the last 6) I was never banned and it was only when I got involved with toxic people that I was banned. This shows that I do have the ability to be someone who is wanted here when not surrounded by toxic individuals, something I vow to never do again (surround myself with toxic people) should I be allowed to return. It has in fact been refreshing to not be surrounded by complete idiots 24/7 so I would never ever want to go back to something like that.
I've watched a lot of documentaries recently that are called something like "I shouldn't be alive" and it's basically where people experience near death situations that they effectively should never survive. At the end they'll always talk about how they now appreciate their lives so much more and everything in it. I know that's a huge exaggeration of my situation and it can't even compare but they do have similarities. If I was to be unbanned I'd look at the ban as the near death experience and so I know for a fact that if I was unbanned I would appreciate being on the server so much more. You may ask, well I was banned for a period of time before. I didn't view it like this then, I can't remember exactly how long I was banned for last time but it certainly wasn't enough time for me to really feel the withdrawal effects. I can tell you for a fact that these last 2 weeks have been HARD. I've just been so desperate to return to the point I know I won't let myself slip up again. I just am begging that you see this as genuine and decide to give me just one more chance. I'd love to have to go through a kind of rehab program like the no gun rule one or something similar. I know that asking this is a longshot and it rarely ever happens if at all but I'd love actually speak to whoever deals with this unban appeal just so I can try to get my point across as to why I think I should be allowed to return because I think it would be more effective than just words on a screen, especially as someone with the history on the server that I have, I understand that's it's hard to see honesty through all the negative things I've done. Whether this happens or not I just want you to know that I won't be slipping up again should I return and everything I've said in this appeal has been genuine and honest so thank you to whoever deals with this appeal, I appreciate your time and I am sorry for my actions.
