Mattfoo's ban appeal

[mattfoo]

Your Name: mattfoo  /  Franz Xavier Schwarz

SteamID (STEAM_0:X:XXX): STEAM_0:0:22608135

Appeal Type (Apology or Dispute): Apology

Which staff member banned you?: Mr. History

How long is your ban for?: 20 days

Why were you banned?:  MRDM | Mass PO's

Why do you deserve to be unbanned?: Im sorry to the guy that I killed and pissed off. He chatted in OOC to live it up because Im fucked tomorrow I knew he was actually pissed and not having fun. I tried to apologize in person not in  OOC to him and tried to comp him for anything he lost. He then let me fly his helicopter because I might as well have a flight before Im banned is what he told me. So I really tried to make things right and say sorry directly to the dude who I killed and tried to fix the situation. 

Additional Information: It was late night hours and literally everyone in the server was on some bullshit killing each other. I just happen to make someone really mad. I tried my best to make amends but the guy would rather see me banned for shooting him. I feel like 20 days is hella harsh for me trying for an hour to make the gentleman feel better and not be so pissed. All he kept saying to me is BRO YOURE SO FUCKED TOMORROW. Now Iv played this server and had admins massRDM me then tell me they were just having fun and sorry I wasn't. Then ban me when I got pissed.

So iv totally done something wrong, I tried to correct it and apoligize multiple times. I feel I am being punished harshly than to just make peace and move on. There was no sit. This was all last night and banned when I tried to join today. 

I assumed hes friends with an admin since he kept telling me wait until tomorrow. 

Anyways, once again Im sorry guy. I know you will come here to read this. Lighten up its just a game. Im sorry to piss you off but I legit tried over and over to make it right. It seems like the game is more fun to you to see ppl get banned, which is lame.

I legit am sorry for killing, I was just having fun like everyone else. I just wish we could have resolved it ourselves.

Hi, I was the guy that was killed by this player and made the report.

The claims made in this ban appeal are false and misleading. The player never attempted to compensate me or make amends, nor did he spend an hour trying to make things right. If he has any evidence of these so-called apologies or efforts to fix the situation, I encourage him to provide it—because they never happened.

I want to be fully transparent about my own actions as well. I did use explicit language in OOC, saying: “Player ID 25368, you’re fucked tomorrow when the admins get on because I am going to make a ticket. I have clips.” I said this out of frustration after being RDM’d multiple times while minding my own business. My words weren’t a personal attack—they were a direct statement that I was going to report his repeated rule-breaking, backed by evidence.

For context, in all my time playing this game, I have almost never made an RDM ticket against anyone. I typically let things slide, but this situation was different because he went out of his way to harass me multiple times. The second time he killed me, he literally drove up, got out of his car, shot me, and then him or his accomplice that was with him through all this yelled “Drive-by!” and then stole my car like he was roleplaying GTA.

Regarding the helicopter situation, I acknowledge that plane dupes are not allowed, but I only spawned it as a last resort to escape after he had already RDM’d me multiple times. Even then, he pursued me, climbed onto the cigar lounge roof where I landed, and physically grabbed the helicopter while mocking me, saying: “Haha, I got your chopper! Why are you so mad?”

At that point, I sarcastically—but also genuinely—told him, “Yeah, you got my chopper, might as well fly it before you’re gone tomorrow.” That was not me making amends or approving of his behavior. It was frustration. It felt like when a younger sibling keeps bothering you, and your parents finally say, “Just give it to him so he stops.” I was trying to avoid further conflict and let him embarrass himself, which he did when he crashed the helicopter and died. Trying to twist that moment into some kind of peaceful resolution is dishonest, especially when I only spawned the helicopter to avoid further harassment, not invite more.

He also mentions in his appeal that admins have RDMd him in the past, as if that somehow justifies his actions here. If a staff member previously broke the rules, that doesn't give him a  free pass to do the same. 

His entire appeal feels like, to me,  an attempt to shift blame and downplay his behavior. His justification of “everyone was on some bullshit killing each other” doesn’t excuse the fact that he specifically targeted me, RDM’d me multiple times, mocked me after each kill, and is now twisting the situation.

He also suggests admin favoritism by claiming I said he was “fucked tomorrow” as if I had personal connections. The truth is, I said that because I had clear evidence of his repeated rule-breaking and knew it would be handled once reviewed by staff—nothing more.

I have video proof to back up everything I’ve described here, while he provides no evidence of these supposed apologies or attempts to make things right. In my opinion, his appeal relies entirely on deflection and minimizing his repeated RDM, hoping to twist my justified frustration as a defense for his actions. Whether his ban is reduced or not, the punishment was justified. Repeatedly targeting players for personal amusement, even during late hours, is still against server rules and I was minding my business the whole time.

Here are the clips: Excuse the movie playing in the background:         RDM 1          RDM 2 "Drive by"         RDM 3

Hello,

After thoroughly reviewing your logs and the provided clips, it is evident that you engaged in multiple instances of RDM, during the specified time period. The clips clearly show you targeting and killing players indiscriminately, including those who were not involved in any conflict and were simply sitting in their cars. In the second and third clips, you are seen driving around and shooting people while calling it a "drive-by shooting" for fun. Moreover, you had even gone out of your way to drive to their spawn base to continue and kill them.

Your server notes and ban history indicate that you had many prior offences, had been warned multiple times for RDM, and had even been banned several times for similar offences. Despite these warnings and previous bans, you have continued this behaviour, which has led to your current 20-day ban.

It is important to understand that the server rules always apply, and actions such as RDM disrupt the gaming experience for other players. While you mentioned attempting to make amends, the evidence provided does not support these claims. Additionally, the context provided by the player you targeted contradicts your statements.

Given your history of repeated offences and the impact of your actions on other players, the 20-day ban is justified. We encourage you to reflect on your behaviour and adhere to the server rules to ensure a positive player experience.

I'm sorry for killing you sparrow. I understand what I did was wrong and I was having fun breaking the rules and Ill take the punishment. The "drive by" was the other guy not my voice. The driving of the vehicles was also not me. I did do the killings.  Either way, sorry buddy. If I see you again in the server I'll give you a sincere apology and a cigar. Have a good one. See ya in 20 days.
