Unban Appeal - Unban_DwayneSpike - GTA RP

Unban Appeal for Unban_DwayneSpike 

In-game Name: Dwayne Spike

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 76561198079612698

Ban ID: Unknown

Reason given for your ban: G1.2 C1.6

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I was banned for G1.2 (Mass RDM) I walked into MRPD and without any prior roleplay decided to shoot anyone in sight ruining everyone's experience on the server not to mention giving the server a bad image with the things I had done. I had only one objective in mind, and looking back at it, it was the worst decision I have made whilst playing the sever. I had little to no consideration for what the other people inside of MRPD were doing. I provided no RP to any of the officers inside other than shooting them as they popped their heads round the corner to see the mayhem inside the bullpen. A video was leaked after the incident which led to me being Community banned C1.6.

Why should we unban you ?: On 24/1/2023 I made a terrible judgment call of walking into MRPD and committing Mass RDM. Nothing can excuse my actions from that day , but to the people involved first and foremost I would like to apologise. This is a Roleplay server and my actions had no RP intent whatsoever. Secondly to the staff who had to deal with my mess I would also like to apologise. I caused inconvenience for everyone that day and have felt nothing but regret since. If at all possible i would like to discuss some of the reasons that led up to these events , i was in a terrible headspace and that bled into character.

Whether or not I'm unbanned is entirely up to the staff who are dealing with my case, however I would like to explain that the lapse of judgement if given the chance to return is something that I can assure you will never happen again. Too say the least I had tunnel vision going into the shit show, I won't even call it an RP scenario as I believe we can all agree there was none. I let my personal issues get in the way of my chance to continue playing here on RPUK. Multiple people tried to reason with me as they knew what the outcome of me Mass RDMing everyone would be. Looking back at it I wish I had just listened to them, it cost me 6 months of being able to log on. It pains me to say it but I genuinely screwed up by doing what I did. Most days I would be in a call with people who still have that privilege of logging on everyday and listening to how they still develop there RP story lines made me realise I missed RPUK entirely. I have made a lot of friends on this server many of which have been the highlights of my gaming.

I broke one of the most serious rules on the server, one of which I never expected myself to even be associated with. Looking back at it I have no idea what was running through my mind, many people had told me to simply log off and take a break for a while, I thought I new better and made the decision to mass RDM as a way of not returning by any means. It wasn't long at all until I realised it was a total mess up on my behalf. I didn't care about anyone else's rp experience and had decided to simply shoot them despite the fact I hadn't spoken to them, for that I apologise profusely.

However despite the day I was banned that has most likely changed all staff members opinions on me I still believe I can RP to such a high quality. From starting in the Hagen Family where my only priority was too make lasting friends and have a good time whilst on the server. To coalition where it was a lot more hectic but it truly showed me how to RP. Setting aside any in game beef whilst being friends with people OOC at all times and to Ballas where I didn't spend much time but thoroughly enjoyed my entirety of it. I learnt how to RP to the best of my abilities and made some of my most cherished RP memories during this time. To put it simply I would be overjoyed to continue playing on RPUK, I know it would be extremely hard to trust myself however I believe I kept my head down for most of my time whilst playing on the server, Now I know that doesn't excuse what I did but I would love to go back to that way of playing on RPUK.

Going forward , If given the opportunity I would like to show I provide a high level of RP but also continue to learn and maintain character growth. I have learnt from my mistakes and have nothing but regrets , all i would like to do is show I can be a decent contributor in this community again.

Thank you for taking the time to listen.

What did you hope to achieve by it, and why even do it in the first place.

Hi @Liam 

I said I wasn’t going to lie as that won’t get you anywhere and that isn’t going to change. My intentions that day weren’t to give the best RP experience possible especially for what I was planning on doing. To be completely honest that didn’t change my mind or course of actions, due to the fact I wasn’t planning on returning. I thought that by doing what I did would help me, I planned on getting banned as a way of means to stop playing and take a break. As previously said I was warned by so many people that I would regret it and looking back I couldn’t agree more. I kick myself for not taking the much needed break that I should have. I had told numerous people that I was not feeling the best, the responses were all the same to log off and speak to staff. What I planned to achieve is something that I’m truly disappointed by. I had no care for what others were going to be met by when I stormed into the building. I know how much RPUK prioritizes the roleplay that is given to their community and I’m truly sorry for breaking that trust on that day.

Why did I do it? A question I ask myself nowadays as I realized how badly I messed up. It cost me so much time of being able to RP as that’s generally what I liked to do on a day to day basis. I made so many memories on RPUK many of which I will carry with me regardless of the outcome of this appeal. I let my personal issues get in the way of my roleplay something that should never happen. My emotions leading up to the incident cause me to spiral and lose control. I caused so many issues because of this and for that I am sorry. 

During my time away I have taken steps to make sure things like this wont ever happen again. My time away has made me realise how much I enjoyed the server and cherished the friends I made on the way. I would hate to end up in this situation again so all I can do is prove that I have changed and things will be very different. 

thanks for your time.

Your emotions that caused you to spiral and lose control, is that under wraps now? I ask this, because you tried to appeal your ban almost instantly so you may not have gave yourself the time to move forward with whatever was bothering you.

 

[Unban_DwayneSpike]

I can assure you that any problems I was dealing with are completely under wraps. These emotions got the better of me and I believed that leaving RPUK as a whole would help myself. I was far from being correct, to tell you the truth RPUK was an enjoyment and a privilege to play on everyday. Most of my time playing games would be that of RPUK and I was so consumed by it that I didn't take a step back to look at what really matters and that was myself. However I can confidently say that during my break I sorted out any problems that staff may be worried about. At no point would I have ever wanted to harm the community I loved so much and put so much time into, I'm truly disappointed in myself that I ever let it get to that point. During my break from RPUK I focussed on becoming better, something I hadn't done in a while. I will not go into a whole story about whatever the problem was as I'm fairly sure staff aren't going to want to hear all that, but rest assured it will not be a problem if given the chance to return. 

You are correct I did try to appeal quite quickly after the ban, it was the immediate regret that got to me. It wasn't long after that I realised how much of a mistake I had made by causing such havoc for the community on that day. RPUK was something enjoyed and looking back at it if I had taken a few weeks break or a few months it would never have got to that extreme and blatant rule breaking episode. Yes I have had time to move on, I am I much better place right now, I can assure you that a repeat episode is the last thing I would ever dream of doing. I truly have missed my time on RPUK and wish to be nothing but open and honest with staff, like I said regardless of the outcome I genuinely want to apologise for my actions. It was nothing out of blatant disregard for all the time staff have put into making the server a better place for the community. Whatever I had going on in the back of my mind is long gone and I feel relieved to say that it isn't a issue anymore.

Thanks for your time.

What’s your plan, IF you are allowed to return?

 

[Unban_DwayneSpike]

Hi @liam

If given the chance to return I can assure you it’s not to have a repeat performance or attempt to disrupt the community in any shape or form. I genuinely have missed the high level of roleplay that RPUK has always offered. I truly am disappointed in myself to have closed the door to that opportunity over the last months as once I looked back on the good times it hit me that the path I chose to go down was nothing out of disrespectful for the staff who maintain the servers integrity.  My reputation has been washed down the drain for all the high quality roleplay I did give on my time on the server, I would love nothing more than to come back and change everyone’s views on myself.

My plan if I was to return would be to explore other ways or RPing. I have always been interested in pursuing a new character who would work in either G6 or the police, YES I AM AWARE HOW IRONIC THAT IS. After the police corruption rule was set in stone I would love nothing more than to truly give my best rp to other people and see rp from another point of view. I would hate to limit myself to only one type of RP such as being a criminal as it is constantly the same old selling drugs or driving a taxi too keep up with external factors. 

I did have a G6 character and a majority of my friends have also ventured down that path of roleplay. I kick myself knowing that I too could be enjoying all the different avenues of roleplay if I hadn’t of decided to disrupt the course of everyone’s roleplay that day. 

I would love nothing more than to continue roleplaying on this prestigious server. The amount of opportunities you have is definitely not something you have on any other server out there. 

However I am fully aware what I did that day was truly unacceptable and I still want to emphasize the fact that all though I would love to come back and roleplay, I truly am sorry to anyone's rp I disrupted that day and of course the wasting of staffs time having to revive everyone for a situation which I stupidly caused. 

Thank you for the replies.
Dwayne

Good afternoon @Unban_DwayneSpike!

I appreciate the effort you have put into this appeal and the consistency shown from your side at attempting to get another chance on the server, this hasn't gone unnoticed. 

During this incident, you have indeed broken the trust of the staff team as mentioned by yourself. It seems to me that you are extremely willing to attempt gaining that trust back and I would very much like to give you this opportunity to prove yourself again on the server!
You have had a long enough break away from the server waiting out the duration of your ban with a few denied appeals during the process too, I do hope that all of the issues you were experiencing at the time are now under wraps and you are doing a lot better!

Please do not make me regret letting you return to the server, any ban you receive within the next 6 months will land you straight back into this section of the forums and I can assure you it will be extremely difficult for you to get yourself unbanned here again.

I hope you have a wonderful day, and I look forward to seeing you back on the server!!!
