In your own words, Please type why you think you was banned
I know I was initially banned for meta gaming, which I did not do, but what happened was suspicious, so I can kinda understand why Bratt jumped to conclusions. My friend and gang mate had been kidnapped, I'd been close to him and heard him got kidnapped, so I opened fire on the kidnappers. This happened at weed processing. They got away, and since I didn't want to Teleport (log off back in), which is breaking a rule, I started running to Agios. Just as I arrived at Agios I saw the car of the kidnappers pulling up not to far away from me (I know it's suspicious I found them, but there is no way that I could have metagamed their position even if I'd wanted to because they'd abandoned my friend 3 to 4 minutes prior and he was back on radio. It was pure luck that they rolled up at Agios gas station as I walked in town. Anyway I told them not to exit their vehicle, they did, I killed them both. After that got reported/banned. I posted an unban appeal and showed my evidence that I didn't meta game, but 2 of my other gang members were talking about combat logging, and even though it didn't have anything to do with the reason of my ban I was told to give them up. Long story short I lied to staff, said I didn't know them which was complete bull shit, and then ratted one out cause I'm a coward. Bratt did the right thing and told me to re do an unban appeal after a month. It's now been 3 months, and so here I am again.

Why should we unban you.
Because lying to a staff member was stupid of me, and when I look back at it I regret it and haven't ever lied to a staff member since. It was stupid of me, and I shouldn't have tried to protect my team mate. I've been playing on other life communities and have dramatically improved my role play instead of just "Hands on your head!", so I'd love to be welcomed back to this community after all this time...
I understand if you don't wish to un ban me, just know that unbanned or not what I did was truly stupid an d I'll never lie to a staff member again.

I lied to protect a gang mate of mine, because I didn't want to get him banned for my actions. I understand that was stupid of me, and after the whole shit show it caused I'm never going to lie to staff again, simply give them what they want and trust their judgement. I know staff takes time out of their day to deal with reports, unban appeals, ect... and it truly was childish of me to lie to one of them after all the help they've given to the community.

In your own words, what is metagaming, and how did you metagame?

If unbanned, what are you plans when you return since PFE is no more?

 

[SI Max ORyan]

In my own words, meta gaming is using information you wouldn't have in game and shouldn't have to your advantage (using scroll wheel to find someones name, tracking gang members by their icon, ect...)
Obviously that's a dulled down and simplified version of what meta gaming is.

If I was unbanned, I was thinking of joining the Altis PD seeing as I've been a UN member on Takistan life for a few months and really enjoyed it, and I'd personally like to see this community from an officers point of view. Otherwise, I'd try and join a new gang or see if I can meet some of my old friends on the server.
