Unban Appeal for Mack Daniels 

In-game Name: Mack Daniels

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 76561198801991554

Ban ID: !!rpuk11834!!

Reason given for your ban: G3.1

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I was permanently banned and given a six month appeal cooldown following an incident involving a container belonging to 229 members. In this particular situation I was given the code to the lock-up, which was retrieved OOC, and used it to gain access to the container. I decided to take all of the valuable items from the container after a gunfight had occurred between Hustlers and 229. After an investigation took place into the incident, staff asked me to join a Discord VC where I lied and gave a false, altered story in an attempt to shift the blame off of Bundy and anyone else they assumed had involvement in the rule break.

Why should we unban you ?: I would like to begin by apologising for my actions. The situation that led to my ban was very poor from me as a whole and I completely understand the reason as to why this ban has been put in place. I don't know what came over me that day - my eyes lit up as I scrolled through the container, and after seeing an abundance of automatic weapons I foolishly stole over 20 guns, 36 valuable coins, as well as a large amount of varied ammunition. When called into a voice-chat with members of the staff and management team after the incident was investigated, I had an extremely poor lapse of judgement where I proceeded to provide an altered story in a moment of panic.

I am truly sorry to the staff and management team of whom I lied to and the individuals I negatively affected with this rule break. I got caught up in the moment and I did not take the time to reflect on the consequences this could (and did) have on myself and the other party involved in the situation.

I want to make it known that I am ashamed of my actions and, if given the chance to play the server again, I will take steps to ensure this behaviour is not seen from me on your servers again. Going forward, if I am unbanned, I will take great care in my actions and words to ensure my actions fully embrace and do not breach the server rules in any way shape or form.

For the initial months of my ban, I took a step back from the RPUK community. In this time I realised how much I valued and thoroughly enjoyed playing and talking to others on your GTA RP server. I have kept in touch with select members of RPUK of whom I play other games with, and I enjoy the occasional conversations we may have about the community. These often include different scenarios that take place inside of the server, such as Father’s and Kat’s pregnancy, as well as the various updates that have recently been implemented. Following my rule break the people I talk to have expressed their negative feelings surrounding the incident, shaming me for what I did which has helped me to further understand the stupidity of my actions. My time away from your server has also given me time to reflect on my punishment, the events that lead up to it, where I went wrong, and what I should’ve done instead in order to prevent it.

In this incident, I should’ve shut down any mention of the container code as soon as it was brought to my attention as simply discussing it can heavily encourage metagaming. However, me failing to do this led to a serious rulebreak which negatively impacted those involved through losing an array of valuable items and me having an unfair and dishonourable advantage.

I understand that the rules set out by the RPUK management team are put in place to create a fair, welcoming, and divine experience for all players, and my actions on this day did not reflect this. I do not go out of my way to intentionally break these rules, and although I have slipped up in the past, I have strived to have an enjoyable time with others on Roleplay.co.uk, and hope to have shown this by taking part in different player-hosted events and pieces of strong roleplay throughout the past two years.

If I were to be given a second chance, this is something I would wish to continue in my character’s story for it to further progress and flourish, sharing the enjoyable experiences I would bring to the server with others. More specifically, the roleplay I would plan to do if I am unbanned would be to return to Hustlers and continue my storyline as Mack Daniels and make an effort to give continuous, strong pieces of roleplay to those I encounter by taking my time and ensuring both parties are having a satisfying experience. Moreover, I would also create a focus with making a return to the police service as Luke Warm and Gruppe6 as Danny Hart. I would like to make an effort to progress in both of these roles, by putting in hard work whilst having an enjoyable experience with others. Another roleplay avenue I would like to see is reuniting what is left of the Hart brothers who work together to find their way around the city, interacting with the players they come across during their adventures and providing a unique and thrilling experience.

Thank you for taking the time to review my appeal. Mack

You've not had a lot of bans in our community, well more than the casual player but still.

So, the container code that you got from Paul Bundy which was Baz and Deans locker. Can you go into who else's container codes that you had jotted down in your A4 notebook?

Furthermore,

Do the following:

  • Quote the rule(s) you broke
  • Explain them in your own words
  • Explain why its on the server



Also, I am aware that Bundy states that he has apologised to both Baz and Dean. Did you do this or are you now only apologising when its time to write your appeal?

 
Hi there Liam, thank you for the quick reply. 

Lets go through your record here
My punishment record is not something that I am happy with, and the mistakes that I have previously made were learning curves that I have learnt a lot from. For example, the two G1.2 bans were different situations where I have learnt valuable lessons surrounding the importance of roleplay and how to deal with challenging situations that arise in roleplay. 

Can you go into who else's container codes that you had jotted down in your A4 notebook?
The first container in the list is owned by Billy Stevens.

The second and third codes were both owned by me until I sold the materials container.

The fourth container was owned by LegendaryChaos. 

The following two containers were owned by 229.

The final container belonged to Baz and Dean. 

  • Quote the rule(s) you broke
  • Explain them in your own words
  • Explain why its on the server
(G3.1) OOC Information - 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. 

OOC Information (or meta-gaming) is when you use information gained outside of the game, for example through the use of Discord chats, to gain an unfair advantage and using this out of character knowledge to directly alter the course of your roleplay.

This rule is on the server as it maintains a fair roleplay experience that everyone can enjoy. Without this rule in place, players would regularly use OOC Information to directly influence their actions in-game, therefore gaining an advantage over the other party and likely plunging the server into chaos over time. RPUK has these rules in place to encourage strong roleplay to be carried out in all situations, and prevent unfair advantages from being gained. This is because RPUK strives to be a serious roleplay community.

Did you do this or are you now only apologising when its time to write your appeal?
I have apologised to both Baz and Dean sincerely in a voice channel.

I am more than happy to answer any further questions you may have - thank you for taking the time to read my reply.

 
These two containers were gang safes.
How did you gain the codes for these?

You're in the same predicament as Bundy, due to it being the same ban. I'll copy and paste for ease of my mental state...

You obviously were trusted beforehand much like all other players to have a bit of integrity and play things fair. Which this trust has been broken, and you could've made off with 12-30mil worth of items (Not sure the actual value, but an estimate). Now, due to the fact that you never paid for them that transaction could've been incredibly damaging to the economy and that you lied to Staff about it.

What happens next time something like this happens? I know you're going to say, you wont lie to Staff etc... but humans are humans, and if they think they can get away with it. They will try their absolute hardest to do so.

Help me and the rest of the Staff Team believe that you want to be here, and that you want to earn our trust.

What do you propose we do?

 
Hello again Liam, thanks for another quick response.

How did you gain the codes for these?
I obtained these two container codes whilst I was in 229, through the Discord channels where they provided the safe codes that I had access to.

What happens next time something like this happens?
I understand the damage these actions could have had on the server’s economy if staff did not intervene. I also regret what I did as I understand how disheartening it could be, and probably was, for the opposite party to lose valuable weaponry after spending countless hours acquiring the funds necessary to purchase said weapons.

I also understand that I need to build the trust and rapport between myself and the staff team once again. I understand what I did undermined the integrity of the server and I very much wish to correct my wrongdoings and begin to prove to you that I have learnt from these past mistakes and can become a positive individual within the community.

I lied to staff. I’m not going to write in this appeal a plethora of excuses and reasonings as to why I chose this path because at the end of the day the choice was still made and I made a serious mistake that I am attempting to take full account for. 

What would I do next time something like this happens? Well I would avoid the situation entirely. I would take steps to never be in a position where this could happen again, or even in a position where the opportunity would ever arise - and if it did, I would shut it down completely. I do not wish to ever be in this position ever again.

I’ve been actively engaging in the community, keeping up with the events and communicating with friends in various Discord servers. I want to be here. I know that a lot of effort has to be put in from my side to show that I would like this opportunity, displaying my determination, proving to you and the rest of the staff team, and the community as a whole that I want to be here.

What do you propose we do?
I would agree to a condition of the staff team’s choosing that you would like to impose on myself. I understand the severity of the rule break, and such the conditions may reflect this. I would be open to any condition due to the fact that I am very eager to make a return to your servers and build back up the rapport myself and the staff team once had.

Thank you again for reading and once again I'm open to any further questions you may have.
 

 
Since you were the worst one out of the situation with Bundy...

If you are banned within a 6 month period, you'll receive a permanent ban due to the Fair Ban System.

And,

If you are banned again for something damaging to the economy, you are not fit for this community and you will not return.

And,

If you are caught lying to Staff or Metagaming within a 6 month period, you'll receive a three month cooldown before you may appeal.

Do you agree?

In future,

It may seem like the cool thing to do and break a rule, but it can be so damaging to both yourself, the person, and the economy. If in doubt, open a ticket and ask Staff.

Furthermore, don't write down lock up codes in OOC ways. Keep them in game, its only fair that way and keeps you right.
