Unban Appeal - JHecz - GTA RP

[JHecz]

Unban Appeal for JHecz 

In-game Name: Jay Crook

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 160067583

Ban ID: !!rpuk10744!!

Reason given for your ban: C2.3 & G2.4

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: Originally I wasn't fully aware to why or how i was banned and I assumed it was for a different reason, after looking more into the situation and reviewing the ruleset I was made aware it was due to combat logging (C2.3).
I was fairly new to RPUK and wasn't fully aware on some RP rules, I had acknowledged certain rulesets but didn't take into consideration the others until after my actions. I attempted to continue a situation on after I had died and it was a big mistake on my behalf and I fully get now how that can effect the experience players have on RP and it is a rule for a reason.

The reason I combat logged is I was fooled by another player to think I could trust them and in turn it didn't go so well, so i over reacted and continued the issue beyond the point I should have, I acted on this in my own way which is very childish and in reality I should of accepted the circumstance and continued to play RP by the rules from that point. I take full blame for putting my self in that situation and I now get how i could of avoided the situation entirely and also avoid the ban If I was to just accept the situation and move on like all other players.

Combat logging is a serious rule to follow, like the rest. I now understand how it adds balance and fair gameplay between all players and if one person takes advantage as did I it ruins the fun and enjoyment for everyone else.

In regard to the (G2.4) Value of Life - At all times you are to value your life, if you are clearly outnumbered or at an obvious disadvantage you should comply with demands.

At first, again being new to the server I felt like being confident and disregarding the situation is ideal but again logically and to balance the gameplay for everyone Value of Life is obvious in terms of serious RP.
It was silly of me to act out in situations just in order to keep my items when in reality my life should be more important than anything I have in my inventory. This was a noob mistake on my behalf.

There has been situations where I was robbed or killed for no reason so I stuck to no holding my hands up from that point where as the correct thing to do was to play the situation out using my role to get the full experience of RP. I had slight confusion on when i should or shouldnt put my hands up but now reviewing the situation, any time I cannot defend or divert the situation putting my hands up and considering my value for life is the main protocol to follow. This was again a new mistake and I can take in consideration how this ruins the experience for myself and other players.

Why should we unban you ?: Whilst I have been banned, I have taken the time to review the situation and reasons for my ban and also familiarize myself with the rules of the server and in order to have and give higher quality roleplay experience.

At first, I was too eager to jump into the server and play, which caused me to overlook the rules and make mistakes. I only ever intended to get the most enjoyment out of RPUK that I could but at the time I now realise I was prioritizing myself more than the server and community as a whole, which is wrong. Going forward I wish to involve myself to the fullest and abide by every rule and guideline in order to maintain a committed and high quality role. I spent many weeks building my role in RPUK and I enjoyed every minute of it, I was upset in myself after receiving the ban as I realised I have messed up and wasted a lot of time for sometime that could of easily been avoided, that will NEVER happen again!

I have checked other reports for myself to ensure there wasn't any other issues or incidents involving me which I find none, and I will keep it that way.

"All I want for Christmas" : is to be a member of the RPUK server again and provide the best and most dedicated roleplay experience I can.

If you allow this, I guarantee this won't ever happen again.

Thank you, All the best this Christmas & NYE.

Hello @JHecz

In your own words, please explain why we have these rules, and what they mean.

 

[JHecz]

Hi thanks for the reply.

In my own words: 

You have rules in place in order to give everyone a fair and high quality role play experience in game.
Combat logging is to ensure no situation is escalated more than it should be at that moment and allows an equal opportunity for all as the progress and enjoy RP. 
Each situation is and will be different for all players, so having rules such as combat logging limits anyone from taking advantage of the whole community and specific players so it's fair and even as experience RPUK.

The value of life is important, logically it make sense to value your life in game as you would in normal situations. Your life should priority in any situation, if all users stick to this role the balance of gameplay is much more high quality and allows all players to fairly handle situations and negate any issues after the fact, rather than prioritizing set items or cash etc knowing they will be revived etc. It's not fair on other users to avoid the value of life rule as it applies to all players and situations, this is key for a serious roleplay server and enjoyable experience

Afternoon @JHecz

What will change upon your return to the server to ensure that this won't occur again and that we won't see you in this section of the forums after this?

 

[JHecz]

Hi, thanks for the reply.

To ensure I will not be in this section of the forums again and anywhere likewise, I will abide by and follow all rules for the server and also help share/enforce them if the situation arises. 
I am well aware and reflective on my mistakes and rule breaks and can guarantee moving forward nothing like this will happen again or anything likewise. Rules are made for a reason and i plan to stick to them.

 

[Phoenix]

Whilst you've spoken about G2.4 in generic terms, reading through this report, can you tell me what made you do what you did?

 

[JHecz]

Hi, thanks for the reply. In the incident I refused to co-operate with a robbery and fled to scene to avoid loosing my items which was wrong as I had no weaponry or anyway to defend myself so the value of life here is important, I should of co-operated and put my life as priority not the items I had.

 

[Phoenix]

can guarantee moving forward nothing like this will happen again or anything likewise.

This doesn't really answer the question I asked previously. What has changed and how care you going to ensure that this doesn't occur again? You stated that you'll follow all the rules, but this is what we expect everyone to do, regardless of if they have been banned or not. For yourself, we need something a big more, as you've stated you were childish.

So, what is going to prevent you from acting this same way?

 

[JHecz]

Since being banned I have reflected on my mistakes and took the time to understand how I was wrong and what I shouldn't of done.

I was still somewhat new to the sever and I acted out in the wrong ways which was childish.I apologies for my rule breaks and how I acted. Going forward I will take the rules a lot more seriously, as I should of done in the first place. I will use the server how it should be used and conduct myself in a way that brings a higher quality of roleplay and not take matters into my own hands again, I was not considering how precarious certain situations could be and this effects the community as a whole, which I apologies for. 

 

 

[Sammy]

Very well. 

I will go ahead and give you another chance. Do keep in mind though, any ban within the next 6 months will be permanent again and much harder to be unbanned from. Do not waste this opportunity.
