Unban Appeal for Rustev Bulkington 

In-game Name: Rustev Bulkington

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 76561198115707896

Ban ID: !!rpuk15258!!

Reason given for your ban: Alt account cash transfer

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: Me and my friend were both banned at the same time. This was due to cash transfers using alt accounts to main accounts. The reason for this was that we are new to all RP servers in general, and we have grinded legitimately in-game for hours on end as taxi drivers, impound drivers, and figuring out roleplay in general. The reason we did cash transfer was that we are new to the game and are already tired of being chased after for 0 reason, from random players with knives, guns, gangs with 0 roleplay interraction, no confrontation, no drugs or anything alike, simply us trying to use ATMs at sandy shore for example, or filling up our taxis with fuel. Being robbed has set us back hours of time which we quite frankly do not get much of. 1 1/2 hrs to 2 hours per day we get as we both run businesses in person which is strenuous and takes away a lot of our playing time. I spoke to two friendly, polite staff members (who teleported us and explained it is not allowed) - and recommended we shouldn't walk away as we seemed genuine, and that we should submit an appeal rather than forgetting about the server (admittedly I will admit we are enjoying the server, yesterday was a fun day until today when we have constantly been robbed and attacked for no reason with no roleplay from other players). We did not want to resort to adding lump sums of cash to get us back to where we were, but felt we'd wasted so much time and thought maybe we could be cheeky with it. It's quite clear the server is well-staffed and monitoring is active which is nice to see first hand which gives me confidence if we were to be given a second chance, we can continue playing legit and report players that are abusing the RP and ruining our experience. We had no intent to collect millions of dollars, just wanted around 0-500k each to get on our feet, buy a personal car and apartment and then continue with job roles in the servers.

Why should we unban you ?: I am all for RP, I think it's a great server and it's somewhere I'd like to spend time legitimately. I am new to RP and it is quite a fun way to play the game. After seeing the close monitoring of the server, it's clear there is a lot of logs and monitoring which is great to see, and will happily not take a risk like that again. I would hope our luck changes with the bad actors in the server mindlessly attacking us, and again will find a way to report to admins going forward. I enjoy playing legit and would really appreciate still having some money to get us on our feet again after being attacked so many times from other players. I can assure you that me and (my friend) will go back to fully playing legit and exploring the server for what it has to offer.

I understand full bank wipes are protocol, but I am asking on this one occasion if we can keep an amount of cash to get going again without having wasted the 5+ hrs of taxi grinding all over again (please) as time schedules with my business is already quite tight on a daily.

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

 
Hello @Rustev Bulkington,

I appreciate the lengthy appeal, what I'm understanding that the reason you started doing this was due to players robbing/killing you without providing quality roleplay to you,

why didn't you report this on the forums or even contact us in OOC or in a discord ticket?

 
Hi OneShot, yes this is correct. I didn't use OOC much because there are constant reminders that typing in OOC is not encouraged, and I wasn't aware of what 'ooc' actually means and what its actual intended purpose is for. I didn't know about the forums, hence this brand new account and submitting the appeal straight away. I have used the Discord ticket firstly to have this account validated so I can then express the appeal to you here. You're right, I should've looked more into the RP server externally, but I wanted to first make sure I enjoy playing the specific server with no technical issues, crashing, features etc before getting more deeply involved with it. I haven't had a whole lot of screentime and this is my first RP server that I want to play on properly. Hope you can understand this from a new players perspective! 🙂

 
How did you know to do this in the first place?

is there any other methods that you used to get money ill-legitimately?

 
So, the prompt for the /advent appeared and I had joined on I think Christmas eve or something, and noticed I could claim from days 1-25 one after another, I knew this the day I joined but decided to keep playing which was genuinely fun and enjoyed learning the in-game language such as 'flex your caps lock muscle' instead of saying 'press caps key' etc, I enjoy using the taxi and driving around, repairing it etc so it encourages me to drive carefully too. A day or two later, as I ranked up with the taxi, I had longer taxi fares taking them to sandy shores, paleto bay etc. I would fill up my taxi with fuel and would get a variety of cash and card payments from customers, so I was grinding and had cash on me. Next, there was a gang of about 5-7 people pulled up in stolen cars, no voice chat, no confrontation, no chatting just instantly pulled out a knife and started chasing me which was BS. I don't know their names or how to grab any of their names, I was concentrating on getting away from them as it was quite clear they had no intention of proper RP. My game had crashed and I decided to have a break, logged in maybe 20mins later, and of course spawned again in sandy shores. This time, a different player was in the middle of the road stabbing anyone he could see, which he got my friend, and was heading for me too. I ran away and he just kept running after me, no voice interraction either, straight up knife out and running riot, so I'm pretty annoyed at this point, and so is my friend. Who also got robbed of around $35k a few minutes before the attacks, so pretty frustrated we thought we would use our extra character slots to claim the advent calendar, to stock up on food, drink and cash if we decided to use them in future. We then discovered the 'gift' option of cash, and also figured out the bank transfer part too, and 'tried' to give ourselves a little boost to undo the BS so to speak. Obviously got caught doing this maybe 280k into it, and explained everything to the staff on the roof which were a pleasure to speak with. 

Apologies for the lengthy message. 

I should mention that, the intention wasn't to make millions or scam money, just wanted a few hundred K's in our pocket to be able to progress a bit more, as I was down to around $7k which was just enough for food, fuel and a taxi purchase of $6,000 to get grinding again

Also, to your original question - the advent calendar was the ONLY way of obtaining money. No menus or anything like that, purely just took advantage of the christmas calendar event before it expires.

 
Good evening @Rustev Bulkington

Do you often get frustrated within the game? As this could end up leading to more rulebreaks.
You've come across an unlucky path it seems, however turning to breaking the rules isn't the answer to the problems 

 
Hi Jessie, this was the first time I got frustrated. The first bunch of gangs was frustrating but didn't alter my mood a whole lot, until the lone guy with the knife just added to it all as it was within like 10 minutes, so that topped it off for sure. The staff in game that I spoke to, said it was uncommon and rare for our experience to have had happened, which I trust and if it was to happen again, I will report to a staff member in the future as well as making sure to bank my cash more often. I was far from heated though, and the staff on the rooftop were fine with me and I'm 100% confident I was not at all heated, especially from a game. If I can survive call of duty, I can handle RP bad actors. lol 

That being said, I agree breaking the rules was absolutely wrong ! I know how well this server is monitored and I can assure you that if I get another chance, I will thoroughly read the rules in detail this time round. 

Thanks 🙂

 
I hope all is well 🙂
