Unban Appeal for Mack Daniels
In-game Name: Mack Daniels
Server: GTA RP
Steam ID: 76561198801991554
Ban ID: !!rpuk14112!!
Reason given for your ban: G1.2 & C1.7 - Player Report
In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I was given a permanent ban following a situation where I failed to provide enough time for the other party to comply with my demands. I shot out the tires of the police vehicle and failed to provide creative roleplay with the constable which is the reason behind the G1.2 and C1.7 ban.
Why should we unban you ?: It’s sad to see that this is now the second time I’m making an unban appeal in less than a month, and I can only apologise for my wrongdoings and the lack of creative roleplay that led to my ban. In all honesty, I am upset with myself and deeply regret that I failed to improve the overall quality of my roleplay after returning from a six-month break, and after hoping to do so for so long.
The roleplay provided by myself wasn’t enjoyable - it was nothing other than of a poor standard and nowhere near the quality a whitelisted gang member such as myself should be aiming to provide. I would like to make it known that this wasn’t directly intentional, and at the time I was focusing on not getting caught by the police instead of ensuring both parties had an enjoyable experience. There were simple ways I could’ve spiced things up, for example creating conversation or not being so mundane throughout the interaction. This is something that I should have done.
This isn’t the roleplay that people experience day in and day out from my character. Since my return I have made a continuous effort to participate in pieces of strong roleplay with other characters and different factions, and I don’t know why I failed to maintain this high standard throughout the duration of the robbery.
After being allowed back onto the server after a serious rulebreak which landed me a 6-month cooldown, you may be asking, what went wrong after being back for just 20 days? The mishap that brought me back to this page held no malicious intentions. It was a lapse of judgement, had I not acted so quickly I wouldn’t be writing this appeal. The matter of just a few seconds changed everything. This is a lesson learnt for me.
Although it was a lapse of judgement, that is no excuse. Following the robbery, I was conscious that I may have been in the wrong for resorting to shooting out tires after such a short period of time. In the moment however, I thought this was a brilliant alternative as it allowed for the roleplay to continue whilst presenting the level of threat we upheld in the situation - and it likely would’ve been had I not acted in such a short amount of time.
Now, I assume you may be asking something along the lines of, why would I open a ticket claiming my ban was unjust, only to open an appeal... What changed? With all honesty, at the time I thought that it was an unjust punishment. I couldn't see how shooting a tire would get me punished, and so I was unsatisfied with the outcome of the report. After talking to members of the Hustlers, other members in the community, and taking time to think over the incident further, it made me come to a realisation that my actions and the consequences that followed were not unjustified, but rather fair. I understand that, although my intentions weren't in bad blood, the situation played out to only make it enjoyable for the party who received items - and this is not how roleplay should be. Roleplay should be an interesting experience for all involved.
In the report, you asked me and the other involved parties questions and raised a few points in your final response. I feel it's important to answer those in this appeal to show you I have taken the time to think upon the situation and where I went wrong.
Firstly, "Why not take the time to come up with a creative plan?" As a group, we had a few ideas to ziptie the officer and perform a talent show after taking his items so we could provide him with a unique encounter instead of the usual boring robbery. However, I let the intensity of the situation get the best of me, and I valued my freedom and fleeing in the incident as opposed to providing enjoyable roleplay for all of us to enjoy. I understand the recent update involving gun meta has had a negative effect and has led to an increase in police robberies, and so it should be a priority to create a satisfying roleplay experience for all sides to enjoy before leaving.
Secondly, "Why not be more prepared for this situation?" This ties in with the previous question. No matter the intensity of the situation or the outcomes that may follow, I should've treated it the same and provided a strong piece of roleplay, as no items are as valuable as the experience and interactions you receive from other players throughout your time on the server. As a group we should’ve been prepared for the officer to flee.
In my previous appeal I mentioned how I don’t go out of my way to intentionally breach the server rules. This point still stands. Although it may be hard to believe with my short-lived return, I understand the importance of the role the rules play on the server in terms of the serious roleplay the RPUK staff team strive to uphold.
If I am allowed to return, I would always take steps to ensure that in all situations, from robbing smoothies to having casual interactions with others, I will provide roleplay to a high standard and not allow the intensity of the situation nor an item's value reduce the quality of roleplay I aim to provide.
I would like to take the time to apologise once again to the Roleplay.co.uk staff team, I know I have let you down by breaking the server rules after being welcomed back into the GTA RP server. I can promise I have learnt from my mistakes and take steps to ensure you don’t see me back on this section of the forums again.
Thank you for reviewing my appeal. Mackintosh.
