Unban Appeal for fenrirCS
In-game Name: Will Fox
Server: GTA RP
Steam ID: 76561198056911552
Ban ID: !!rpuk6837!!
Reason given for your ban: (C2.3) - Forum Report
In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I just read the ban report and saw the evidence, and I was banned for logging out whilst I was downed, violating (C2.3).
Why should we unban you ?: I have been a long-time RP player on Altis (or at least formerly), and fairly recently started playing the GTA RP server. After the video shown in the ban report took place, I rejoined the server (this was sometime later, I went to get some food so I'd assume about an hour). I saw in OOC someone had mentioned a King Mask player combat logging, although I didn't think I had. As I was wearing a King Mask, I joined TS to be sure, and couldn't find the player (searched and Ctrl + F'd) who put the message in chat. To be sure I joined the staff help channel and spoke to a staff member. I explained the situation as follows:
We spotted a vehicle, the owners of which we had previously robbed. They recognised us, and there was a chase. Not much communication took place. The chase resulted in me on a rooftop attacking the chasers, and again not much communication took place other than an insult or two (I don't remember any dialogue). I killed one of them, and then I was killed myself. I then saw my killer leave, and as has happened to me in the past following being stabbed (especially those incidents where little RP took place), I assumed I would be left. For further context to my reasoning, we were also opposite the Paleto PD. I assumed the killer would leave, and there would be no continued RP. As such, I made the mistake of believing I was no longer in an 'RP' situation and closed my game.
When I spoke to a staff member, he told me that you should never disconnect when downed, which I accepted. I have and would never disconnect during an RP situation as I'd rather RP and die than disconnect and potentially sour the experience (I have on multiple occasions reconnected after restarts when being held hostage to continue RP so everyone has more fun). I said thanks to the staff member who said I'd be OK to leave TS, and never had a second thought after that, under the impression all was well.
A couple of things to add to my defence:
- I really don't believe any RP was lost from this situation. My previous encounter, prior to the chase in which I died, involved very little dialogue. Although I can't remember details I do remember not enjoying the RP of the situation and remember running round in circles talking as it was attempted to ram me with a car continuously (not to say I take issue with that, just it wasn't much fun for either party).
- I would have liked to have had an opportunity to talk this through, and believe I was reasonably proactive in making that happen (hopefully it is possible to check chat and TS logs and see I did come to see if I had done anything wrong, although I cannot remember which staff member I spoke with).
- Lastly, I really do believe (although can't cite anything other than a clean track record) that I have contributed to good RP on the server, and it would be a shame if I could no longer contribute after having been banned on (what feels to me) a technically. I am very aware for the need of rules to prevent combat logging, and have had RP situations ruined before when someone disconnects in front of me, although I didn't anticipate this would be such a situation. Had I realised the RP situation would continue, I had no motive to disconnect. I had nothing of worth in my inventory, am happy to roleplay in prison, and would never want to risk breaking RP or getting banned. I simply believed the RP situation was over, and I would describe my actions as poor judgement rather than malice or self-preservation.
