Shoot's BAN APPEAL

[Shoots]

Your Name: Shoots

SteamID (STEAM_0:X:XXX): STEAM_0:1:634637750

Appeal Type (Apology or Dispute): Apology

Which staff member banned you?: Virus

How long is your ban for?: 1 month and 1 day, 3 weeks and 5 (basically 6) days left. 

Why were you banned?: Metagame 

Why do you deserve to be unbanned?: I deserve to be unbanned because of my new understanding of the rules, and my actions which violated them. I deserved to be unbanned due to my willingness to acknowledge my mistake, and correct myself in the future. I do admit that it has been years since I have did a full read through of the rules, specifically the metagame section. When I started playing the server again, the many months ago I did, I failed to take into account that the server rules have grown and changed. With different additions and interpretations being set in stone. I continued to roleplay with this misunderstanding without a second thought. At first, I was going to initiate a dispute against this ban, but, as I read the rules I now understand; I was in violation of metagame rules 1, 3, 3.5, and 3.6. I now read these rules clearly and notice how I was not following them. It was never my intention to commit a serious rule break on the server, I can admit I took this habit of using OOC VC from other people outside of my friend group, as it is a known fact that this is a regular occurrence in the server. I still understand that although commonly done, it is still in violation. Especially in my situation seeing it was including a senior ranking official (NHC) of the server. 

Through my years of playing on this server, and a related server, Revenant, I have never faced a serious consequence because I have never committed a serious rule break. The most detrimental thing I had on my old record was prop abuse. I am a Prometheus player and wish to keep it this way, it is one of my most favorited pass times and its with a community that I enjoy. I hope I can bring an understand to the UA team, that I understand my wrong-doings, and simply wish to return back to larp and continue my day-to-day on the server as it was before this incident. I am even a previous staff member of both servers. I wish nothing more for this community than for it to grow and for more exciting opportunities to sprout from it. I believe my one mistake here should define me as a dissident to the server or its people.

 

Additional Information: Me and Reverend are roleplayers. This is obvious. We are not minges, we seek to actively engage with the people of this server. We never wished to cause any disturbances, we were simply taking a shortcut. I can promise to the staff team that we were going to meet in game as well, we just took a cheap route to initiate our roleplay. I hope this appeal sits well with everyone, thank you.
