Reason given for your ban.
Rule Group 4 - Meta Gaming

The Server you initially were banned on.
Server 1

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.
Rule Group 4 - Meta Gaming

Why should we unban you ?
The reason this Role Playing Family is a success, the reason that so many players invest years of their time into it (including myself), is because there are enforced rules and guidelines that you have to abide by. These rules and guidelines ensure a safe, fair and enriched experience for all participants within the servers and on the forums. When someone side steps these rules and guidelines, it gives them an advantage which other players do not have, and this is unfair, and degrades the experience for other server users.

Meta Gaming is one of these rules. By using the distance indicator to locate medics, of which I have no counter evidence, I put myself at an advantage, above other players, in order to be revived faster, which is completely unacceptable. The essence of this server, is that through roleplay, we all start and continue on a level playing field with regards to rules. That way we can all succeed and fail through merit of action and effort only.

By conveying the information gained from this instance of meta gaming to a new gang member, I also drew another player into the incident, right at the beginning of his journey on this server, which I feel bad for.

My own journey on this server has lasted over three years, during which time I have been leader of a few successful groups, and mentored many new players within these groups into being highly active members who positively contribute to the roleplay of the server today. I feel through out my time, I have not only positively contributed to roleplay, but actively created events to enhance server wide experience.

Having taken a hiatus from the server, upon return, I thought my understanding of the rules and guidelines was at a high level, however it would appear that some of this knowledge has diminished. Going forward from this point, having re-read the rules, with a fresh understanding of where I went wrong and how I can do better, I would like to continue to enhance the role play experience of those I experience within the server, and assist in continuing the success that has preceded this point.

I take full responsibility for my actions.

We need your entire Steam ID, not a partial.

 
So first why did you proceed to lie, when a staffmember confronted you with their concerns about you guys metagaming? 

 
I realised once confronted that we had Meta Gamed, and having just taken on a new gang member who had just started playing on the server, I was trying to protect him as I felt responsible for telling him which direction to go. I panicked as I didn't want his experience on the server cut short. Once my knee jerk reaction was to tell the initial mis-truth, I wrongly felt I couldn't correct the account of what happened.

 I take full responsibility for this, and would like to admonish the other player from any responsibility as he acted without a full understanding of what was happening, and while taking full instruction from myself. 

I understand if the decision is to permanently ban myself, however I want to make it known that the other player had no knowledge of how I located the medics/what he was being asked to do.

 
 and having just taken on a new gang member who had just started playing on the server,
He recently joined our gang on a trial period. This is the furthest extent our interaction has gone.

 
The rule I broke would be in Group Four; Meta Gaming. Whilst there is no specific sub-section to detail my offence, I gained information pertaining to the location of the NHS using information not available to my Persona in-game (Distance Indicator), thus influencing my actions within the game.

Meta Gaming is not allowed as it gives a person an unfair advantage over other users who are playing within the rules and guidelines. The reason this server is successful and continues to be so over the years, is because rules like this are in place, to level the playing field, and ensure we only succeed and fail through merit of action and effort only, not by Meta Gaming to gain an advantage.

 
You put a lot of effort into this appeal and looking through your history, I'm sure you've learned your lesson. 

Don't screw up.

Now that you’ve been unbanned don’t forget to give our rules a thorough read over again here.

Please note unbans on the server are instant and you will be able to connect straight away.
