Ban ID (just the numbers): rpuk18472
Ban Reason: G3.1 G3.5 C1.7
Why do you think you were banned: G3.1 - Using out of character information to influence the course of roleplay is considered metagaming and punishable by a ban. This includes but is not limited to: Twitch Streams, forum information and Steam messages.
G3.5 - Using information you have gained through the play of other characters to influence the course of roleplay, either directly or passing this information to a 3rd party to tell your character. Example: Character A is a cop that knows a raid is about to happen on a gang, Character B (same player) is a member of a rival gang. Character B does not know about the raid, Character A is unable to tell someone else to tell Character B about the raid. Character A may not use Character B's vehicles or assets.
C1.7 - As a Roleplay game, every situation is different and not everything can be detailed within these rules and so it is important to remember this is an adult community and some things simply come down to common sense.
There are multiple reasons for the ban and I want to ensure that I address every point.
Why should we unban you: I respect and understand the rules are put in place to protect the RPUK community from multiple offenses but in this instance - unfair advantages.
I understand there was suspicion surrounding the robbery which is partially why G3.1 rulebreak was given among the other rulebreaks. I understand the seriousness of that type of rulebreak and want to promise the staff that I did not give any OOC information to anyone regarding what I had on me at the time of the robbery. When I was robbed, it was shortly after having been killed off from Cutlass. I’ll admit, I was upset because I was in Cutlass for time and my course of RP resulted in me being killed off. I had joined an opposing gang that Cutlass was actively fighting at the time. They then robbed me for what I did have on me because of my association. I was robbed for a large amount, not once - but twice. I hold my hands up, I should have clipped it. In the future, I will always clip these moments. After having such a big loss, plus the bitterness of being killed off, I wasn’t sure where to go from there. Although it does seem immature to jump to that mentality, I decided that my time on General ran dry and realized that my RP was better when I was on a different character.
With my other characters, I realized I had to play the part of that character and its back story. I realized a bit too late that Jermaine was my most ideal course of roleplay. I found myself actively playing into his traumas. It allowed me to be in a constant mindset of RP. I recreated it, considering him coming back from the dead considering the witchcraft his character went through. Reflecting on this, it could have been a great course of roleplay had I first gone through staff and explained what I was looking to do and how to go about it. Instead, I acted on my own accord and I take full responsibility for this rulebreak. It was completely foolish to not have discussed with staff leads. There is no excuse for how I approached this, but I know moving forward to never consider acting without asking. Staff volunteer their time to help the community and I should have utilized the resources made available to me.
In all fairness and honesty, I know people thought it was the same character, and I take full accountability for this. There is no excuse. I know that I should have gone about things differently and I can’t explain what I would do next time because there will not be a next time, I can assure you. If given another chance, I will make sure that I do not interact in any rulebreak, if I'm not sure, I will reach out to staff VIA ticket. I will not be hasty with things and respect staff's time and wait on their responses. I would love to be given an opportunity to return to RPUK and show staff and the community that I value the roleplay and I promise to follow the rules.
