Unban Appeal for Top Spliffer 

In-game Name: Robin Ankara

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 76561198111466895

Ban ID: !!rpuk12053!!

Reason given for your ban: G3.1

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I was banned due to logging on during an on-going situation

Why should we unban you ?: Hello Staff, since being banned for around a month and a half now I have had a lot of time to think over my past actions and come up with what I feel is a reasonable response. Now to start, I do feel the cooldown was quite harsh but with every staff decision there is a good reason behind it as I have come to learn and in the past I may have acted against staff a lot of time as I thought that you lot were being irrational and were out to ban me but obviously this isn't true and everything you do is for the good of the community.

I will admit that I logged on after watching Omizz's stream to help him out, this was completely wrong of me to do and it makes sense as to why I was banned for it, the term used commonly is "hop on squad" and that is essentially what I did. The decisions I made weren't done to hinder the experiences of others nor were they meant to have malicious intent behind them I was just bored at the time and wanted to get on the server, it was unfortunate timing but nonetheless I shouldn't have logged on after seeing his steam. I would like to add that even though I logged on full well knowing what was going on OOC I didn't take that information in character until I had been told in-game.

To prevent a ban or any sort of confusion like this in the future, I would leave the Marabunta discord prior to logging on, this is a simple and easy fix as discord logs would show who is connected to the voice channels.

Since I've been gone I have spent my time doing many different things, one thing that might interest staff is I've been playing on a whitelisted server where roleplay is top-notch and the rules are very strict. I have learnt a great amount from this server in the 3 weeks that I've actively playing on it, one important thing I learnt was how to act more like your character, what I mean by this is all too often on RPUK do people act nothing like the character they portray. I mainly mention this as it has come to my attention that staff don't want specific groups of players on the server known as "fraggers", I can assure staff I do not fall into these set of players, I have always provided the best quality RP I can and have not been a fan of a lot of the wars that have been happening recently due to the poor rp behind them and what comes out of them.

Whilst I've been banned the gang "Syndicate" disbanded and a few members have decided to hangaround for Marabunta, many are very new to server and I have found this the perfect opportunity to help them grow as roleplayers and prevent them from making the same mistakes I first made when I joined the server and later on with this meta-gaming ban. I've been watching the clips they have been sending in showing the situations against Changaloos and advising them on how to improve their rp in the future as they still have much to learn, acting as a sort of mentor. The same goes for the Brown gang as well, many of them are new players and as such their rp isn't the best so its our job as members of a whitelisted gang to change that, if all we do after we dodgy them is shoot and dump them in some mountain they'll do the same which would just create a cycle of poor rp.

Finally, I would like to thank staff for taking the time to read my appeal and I do apologise for wasting your time recently, I have many commitments coming up in my life that will take me away from FiveM for months at a time so I would love to spend the free time I have left playing on RPUK.

Thanks!

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

 
Why did you lie in your appeal? You should know by now that it will get you absolutely no where...Honesty is and will always be the best policy in this community. Once you lie to us, the trust is gone and we cannot take anything that you say at face value.

I appreciate the effort you've put into the appeal overall. It is nice to see, and shows that you really want to return to this community. I do have some questions that we must go through before you may get the chance to play here again.

If there is a stream in the future, and you're watching it. What are you planning on doing?

Explain to us what effects the Metagaming rule can have if broken?

Explain to us what your characters Roleplay story is going to be going forth, if you are successful today.

 
Hi Liam thanks for the reply, 

Why did you lie in your appeal?
I guess I lied as I've been told by staff before metagaming can be hard to prove so I tried to wriggle out of the ban, which obviously looking back on it makes no sense as you clearly wouldn't ban me without sufficient evidence. Also, metagaming to me is like another form of cheating and I absolutely hate cheaters in video games due to how much they ruin the fun for everyone, so it was a hard pill for me to swallow and I didn't wish to admit it at the time.

If there is a stream in the future, and you're watching it. What are you planning on doing?
Our gang lead has made it very hard to stream in our discord so a stream would most likely not go up. However, if I was watching a stream and I wanted to log on to the server, I would close it, put a message in the discord saying I'm logging on in 20-30 minutes and leave the Marabunta discord. Discord logs show what time people disconnected so if anyone were to accuse me of metagaming (hopefully not) I would be able to disprove it via the steps I have taken to ensure that no metagaming has occurred.

Explain to us what effects the Metagaming rule can have if broken?
The metagaming rule in my opinion is one of the worst possible rules any person can break, you ruin the immersion, fun and roleplay that could have been had by using OOC information to get a quick win. I've know times when I feel something has been metagamed and it feels like absolute shit knowing whatever measures you make take in RP to stop another person finding something they magically figure it out. 

Explain to us what your characters Roleplay story is going to be going forth, if you are successful today.
I never try and actively force RP stories I like to let them come naturally. I was banned mid-war with grove so my characters story with them still hasn't finished unlike the rest of Marabunta, they killed many of Robs fellow gang members, many he considered his brothers, so if I was unbanned I would actively hunt grove and enact revenge until I feel that enough damage is done. After that it would my duty as a Mara member to protect my gang and be active in the war against "Changaloos". Besides that, Rob is very poor compared how rich he was when he was in a gang called the "Grafters" so he would like to reach that level of wealth at some point again through completely illegal means, he has always hated taxi and has only ever used it as a quick method to rob people, because of that he would dabble in the creation of meth and cutting of coke to facilitate this dream. 

 
Very good replies, I appreciate them.

I'm just looking into some things, which may drag this appeal out a bit longer. So be patient please.

 
At the time of writing that statement it was true but now he has changed it to only specific mara members 

 
All in all, its not a rule break to not have that permission set up anyway. However, I can't take your word for this

At the time of writing that statement it was true but now he has changed it to only specific mara members 
So, to me it looked as if you were spouting a lie. If your statement was a lie, please be honest going forth. As you know first hand, what happens when you lie.

I see no other reason to keep this appeal going any longer, you've given more than enough effort in your replies and initial appeal. It is clear that you are sorry for the whole situation overall and that it wont happen again.

Bare in mind that any ban within a 6 month period will lead you right back here and chances of a successful appeal going forward are slim to none, please be more careful next time.
