Unban Appeal for xOP5
In-game Name: Tony Rowlands
Server: GTA RP
Steam ID: 76561198206418968
Ban ID: !!rpuk6145!!
Reason given for your ban: C2.3
In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I think that I was banned due to combat logging on either 1 of these two situations. Number one was where it was 15:58 and the storm was about to hit. I just clocked off and was about to disconnect when someone put a gun to my face and most likely wanted to RP in a robbery. However, due to the storm, I left in order to avoid data loss during the storm. I was already disconnecting by the time the player approached and I feel if this is the reason, it is unjust to permanently remove me from the city. Secondly, I was roleplaying a police chase in my taxi when I finally pulled over as my car sustained damage. Police swarmed me and I was going to begin the arrest section of our RP, but the VOIP was not working and I couldn't talk to the officers. I mentioned this in OOC and stated I was going to relog, but when I returned, the police were gone. I was fully going to go through with the interaction as I enjoy having fun interactions with people in this community.
Why should we unban you ?: I have been playing for roughly 2 weeks and have a decent grasp on the rules and I was aware of C2.3. I wouldn't do it on purpose as I finally felt at home in the city and wouldn't risk losing this part of me. I have made both friends and foes in the city and formed a bond with a few players in which were going to work on a small gang in which we could begin to RP as. I really thought things were beginning to click in the city and really started to enjoy myself in the city. However, rules are rules and if the gods deem my actions as rule breaking, then I shall take my leave from this city. I must say, this server was one of my favourites and I really hope I can continue to be a part of this great community.

Reason given for your ban: C1.10
In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I was rightfully banned for not roleplaying appropriately during a situation in which I should have taken seriously. I now know that I should act appropriately during intense roleplaying scenarios.
Why should we unban you ?: I did speak to the player afterwards and I made sure they were not bothered by my behaviour and we RP'd and it ended in me giving him a lift and we ended on a good note. However, he reported another player that was in the scenario and the staff deemed my actions which were viewable in the evidence as inappropriate. I have since spoken to various staff in order to learn what it was I did wrong. I now know that what I did wrong was rightfully punished and I understand the severity of what I did. I am now ready to abide by the rules even more closely as I have gained more knowledge on what I cannot do during my time in the city. This will in turn make my experience in the city more enjoyable, both for me and others I interact with.

In retrospect, I feel like the reasoning for my ban is the first scenario. But let me explain my reasoning for why I left. It was around 3 minutes before the storm hits and I have just clocked off, I had my headset off and was going to do something away from the computer. I see the guy while on the pause screen with a gun and I start talking (still without my headset on) to the guy, asking why this is happening. I urgently needed to go do something off camera so I decided that was more important, plus we couldn’t have role played that scenario given that the storm hits in less that 5 minutes. Also, I know that there are issues with data saving during the storm if you do not leave. So I left the game. When joining back around 30 minutes later, my friend was waiting for me at the taxi place, so I came out of the office and the same guy initiates the role play again. I put my hands up, all while knowing my friend is here with us and we have an agreement to always help each other if one of us is held up or so on. This agreement is a known one to both our character so it explains any lack of voice chat. So I see him pull out his machete and attack the gunman so I instinctively do the same. We end up killing him and begin to make our getaway. I just felt I should give my side of the story. Even if this doesn’t make up for me leaving, I feel I should have a place to defend myself. I hope this helps whoever reviews this case into making a decision. Thank you.
