Unban Appeal for Raymond Pest 

In-game Name: Raymond Pest

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 76561197987540256

Ban ID: ||rpuk7559||

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

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I would first like to say, this has been my first ever experience with GTA V RP, and whilst I had read and agreed to the rules before playing, I believe my inexperience in dealing with the situation lead to my decisions. I had just done an early morning money making session, and had deposited my money into the taxi rank ATM. 2 attackers made there way over to me, and attacked me at the ATM. As previously said, I was fresh to RP experience and could also not hear any voice comms from the attackers (I believe this was a fault with my computer). My understanding of the rules were that I was in the process of being RDM/Fail RP, so I tried to run away (wrongly) from the situation. I got shot in the back and killed outside taxi rank. I asked in chat if anyone else had been a victim of RDM that morning and one other person said they had been killed and believed it to be fail RP as well (Unfortunately I have no video of picture evidence of this). The attackers then put me into their car, I thought they were trying to rob my body, but instead drove me to the hospital. Whilst ressing, I was talking in the chat asking why they had done what they did (I now understand that I should not have done this) and they tried to tell me they fully RPed the situation and I was in the wrong. When i ressed, they came back into the hospital room and held a gun to me. At this point, I didn't know what else I could do to stop the situation from escalating, so i wrongfully Alt+F4'd out of the game. Throughout this entire experience I could hear no voice comms from the attackers, and was under the impression I was being grieved. Due to my belief of what had happened, i decided to go down the path of making a report against the 2 players, so that this would not happen to other players in the future. This turned out to be my downfall as the players in question submitted further evidence from their side that lead the Admin to give me a permanent ban. This is a URL link to my initial report on the incident ( https://www.roleplay.co.uk/topic/136792-report-a-player-661-676-gta-rp/#comment-782224 ) My lack of communication with the admin dealing with the report also did not help my case.

Why should we unban you ?: As I said in my previous paragraph, I am completely new to the RP experience. My actions in this encounter were a direct result of my inexperience and miscomprehension of the rules. I am aware that I am submitting this appeal before the 6 month wait, but am hopeful that my situation may be reviewed before that 6 month deadline. I have gone onto try other RP servers since my ban, but have found that none of them have the quality of gaming that Roleplay.co.uk servers provides. If my ban is lifted, I can assure the staff and players on this server that I will act fully within the rules of the server (which I have thoroughly reread since my ban) to ensure a positive RP experience for everyone I encounter. I truly do hope that Roleplay.co.uk staff can understand that my rule breaking was not done in the effort of saving my character or to grief others, but an uneducated, poorly thought through and panicked decision solely on my behalf. I fully understand if this ban may not be lifted, but this server is the only experience I have enjoyed and I don't want it to be ended due to poor decisions I made whilst familiarising myself with the server rules. Thank you for taking the time to read my appeal, and I will check routinely for further communications.

Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes

 
@Raymond PestBe truthful here, when you joined the server and you clicked the box saying I have read the rules, had you?

 
Yes I had read the rules, but I will admit, I should of ensured that I fully understood them before entering the server.

Find and quote us all the rules you broke, explain to us in your word why we have rules like this in place.

 
( 2 Counts of -(G2.3) Roleplay Everything - You must remain in character at all times, unless a uniformed Admin authorises you to speak out of character. )

In my words, this rule exists to ensure continuity of immersion when playing within an RP server. When an entire community of players are RPing a scenario out, however big or small, all it takes is one person to arrive and start acting like an idiot (OOC) and it can ruin the experience for everyone involved, possibly causing players to change servers if it happens to frequently.

(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.

The reason I believe this rule exists, is everyone on the server is quite aware we are all just playing a game, and a game usually has little to no consequences IRL. Because of this, people may not reacted as they would IRL when presented with a situation (1 man walks up to you with a gun to your face) that could potentially end your life. The enforcing of this rule ensures that all players on the server will act accordingly in a situation where their life may be at risk, and take any actions necessary (Surrender, hands up, hand of money, beg for life).

Now I have been banned for the above reasons, and I may be shooting myself in the foot her, but there are 3 more reasons why I believe I was banned and I will share these below. I believe I broke these rules when asking in OOC about if anyone else had been a victim, and my prolonged use of OOC chat to discuss the matter, rather than going to discord as I should have done. I also added the Combat Logging (Logged out in hospital after res believing I was being griefed.

(I cannot find the Gx.x number for Combat Logging)

Conflict and Combat within Roleplay.co.uk can be tense, aggressive and altogether extremely fun situation to be a part of, regardless of if you are an aggressor or victim. When someone logs off mid combat for ANY reason, this can ruin the entire experience for those left on the server, losing out on a healthy RP story, or possible loot/fame/notoriety for your actions. This completely ruins the immersive experience for those playing the game, and can lead to people avoiding combat situations altogether for fear of wasting their own time when the other party leaves purely because they are at risk of becoming a victim. Whilst mainly done by those hoping to save valuable items from being stolen, it can also be done as a form of griefing. It goes against the ethic of the server, which in my own words, is to create and act out a character to the best of your abilities, weather it be a thug or a simple taxi driver trying to make an honest living, and interact with other players characters to create a world we can all escape to during our free time IRL.

(G2.6) [SIZE=medium]OOC Help - OOC chat is for help only, extended OOC interactions are forbidden[/SIZE]

(G2.7) OOC Roleplay - You must not use OOC chat to broadcast events that you observe (for example, you may not broadcast "X are going to rob the bank".)

I believe these rule has been implemented to ensure people cannot powerplay, or ruin possible RP scenarios taking progress by giving out information that would otherwise be unknown to anyone on route to the situation. The OOC chat should be used purely to contact those more knowledgeable for questions about glitches and how to do certain things within the server (Within reason, if you can RP to find out then you should RP to find out). G2.6 also helps to stop the clogging up of OOC chat channel, ensuring only relevant information if present for those who need to read it.

These are the rule breaks that I believe lead to my ban, and also my understanding of why they exist in the first place.

Edit : I added the Combat logging rule as I realised I left it out upon my initial posting.

Considering the fact you have no previous bans or warnings I gonna give you another chance to prove that you can roleplay and follow the rules, with that being said any future violation of our rules will be a lot harder to come back from.

Unbanned
