TheGrifter Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 BYOND Key: (TheGrifter) Total Ban Length: (Forever and ever and ever and ever.) Banning staff member's Key: (Garnascus) Reason of Ban: (Cutting myself to bloody up the chapel, abuse of pain RP mechanics, prior trouble) Reason for Appeal: (I know I haven't always been the best at fitting in, in terms of Aurora. But in the time I have been here, I have found it to be one of the better servers. The adminstrators are rational people, the playerbase is imaginative and well-spoken, and the RP here is great. I know I screwed up. I shouldn't have let the other chaplain rile me up so much. That being said, I didn't hurt him. I hurt myself. Admittedly, that was to frame him, but he had assaulted me earlier, and I was getting no replies from security, who just thought it was sort of funny. My character being a pacifist, then decided to act in the way I did. I understand I screwed up in regards to pain mechanics and what-not. I know this isn't a defense, but I didn't know that was a rule beforehand. I should have read the rules, but I just sort of assumed that the rules were generally the same. Well, you know what happens when you assume, or so the old saying goes. I like this server. I'd like to come back to it at some point. Still, I understand if this appeal is refused. I know I was problematic as a player. But it wasn't because I wanted to cause trouble. I guess I should have tried harder to stay out of it though. Respectfully, -The Grifter)
Jennalele Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 The issue here is that we've been here... How many times, now? I count five, perma or otherwise, to your name, in under a year. Which begs the question, have you really learned? You've been here since May of 2015. You should know the rules like the back of your hand, but instead, you've been consistently accumulating notes, warnings and temp-bans over transgressions like this. I'm hardly convinced. How can you prove to us, the staff team, that you've really learned this time?

How can you prove to us, the staff team, that you've really learned this time? I understand your reluctance. But if I didn't care about this server, I wouldn't have made this appeal. I would have moved on to a different server. But this server is a unique community. It's got people who are actually playing characters, instead of constantly metagaming. I know I've failed on certain points to uphold the social contract as dictated by the server rules. It was not out of intention, but through foolishness. I'd plead guilty to manslaughter, but I'm not a murderer. Still, I respect your judgement on the matter. I don't know if there is a way to definitively prove that I won't get in to trouble again, without being given a chance to prove it. I can't show you the contents of my mind, heart. or soul. I can try to put it into words, but you have no way of knowing if I'm just saying what I think you want to hear. I'm not, but that's exactly what someone who was would say. I can give you my word, but you have no reason other than that to believe me. Still, I haven't lied to you folks. I've screwed up many a time, but I didn't ever lie about it. If we can go forward from that to establishing a dialogue, I'd very much appreciate that.
Jennalele Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, things have been hectic over here. You clearly understand what the rules are, but you continue to have issues following them, leading to incidents like this on the regular. I'd like to help you identify where the disconnect is so that we don't have to play out this pantomime over and over.
TheGrifter Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 Likewise, I apologize for my delay in responding to your post. It has been somewhat hectic on my end as well. I agree that there is a disconnect somewhere. I love this server, but for some reason, I kept screwing up. I'd like help, but I don't rightly know how one would go about that sort of thing. I don't want to be a screw-up, or a liability. But that's something I should have tried harder to accomplish when I still had the chance.
Jennalele Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 After talking with the individual in PMs and deliberating with staff, we have agreed to accept your unban appeal on a strict parole basis. In 48 hours, if you still feel you would like to be job-banned from the requested departments within the PMs, send me another message and we'll go through with it. Congratulations. Appeal accepted.
TheGrifter Posted May 21, 2016 Author Posted May 21, 2016 I'd like to thank everyone for giving me another chance. I appreciate it, I won't let you folks down.
Alberyk Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 The appeal was accepted, archiving and locking the topic due to such.
