Name of the Admin you were banned by: I think it was @Goose
How long is the ban for?:
Permanent
The reason you were banned?: Metagame, exploiting, abusing char switch, bhop scripting, abusing act commands.
Why do you wish to be unbanned?:

Because Willard is the only server I really enjoy on Garry's mod, I have been around playing since December last year on the first beta testing and enjoyed it ever since. I'm not sure how to describe my passion for the server and the community but I've always only tried to do what's best for the server and I've never had bad intentions to ruin or otherwise damage the community by any means, only one time I happened to have negative opinion during my whole stay is when I once said that Robert is doing dumb decisions but otherwise I've always been defending the community whenever one of my friends has found a flaw in the system.

During my time I've always tried to make people enjoy the server and give them better enjoyment in RebelRP, provide them with oppertunity, not discriminate who's my friend and who's a new player and give everyone the same chance ever since I've made my own rebel group called Bottlstreet. I'm not really sure how to make this appeal, last time I have been helped by a player called @bond who helped me with my last appeal that proved to be false, but I'm going to try my best here and explain within my best ability:

  • Metagame - I'm not sure when was it that happened when I broke this rule but it could be that it happened, I'd need some evidence about it.

  • Exploiting - I don't exploit and I've never used any third party commands in my life, this is a roleplay server. I know you probably won't believe me, but again, I'd need to see the evidence to be able to make any kind of defense. You can check my whole computer (If it's even possible) to check if I'm cheating, but I'm not and I don't know how to prove it otherwise.

  • Abusing char switch - Not sure where this came from once again, I'd need evidence about it.

  • bhoping scripting - I don't use any 3rd party commands, bhop is able to be done on the server. But to bhopping I do confess, because I know I sometimes bhop whenever I search around the sewers to loot for trash piles whenever there's no one around the sewers. I'm ruining the imerssion of anyone on the server, I've seen people bunnyhop in the main street on bright daylight when people were around. But I was bhopping in the sewers when there was no RP to disrupt with it, I didn't hurt anyone or damaged anyone's RP doing this, and I wouldn't do it again if I was just warned about it.

  • Abusing act commands - Once again I have to confess to this after I've been told by others that it's about /actwindow to see trough the bunker peephole. I thought this was allowed because I've seen other players use it in the past on Willard whenever they had to check if anyone is listening on us trough the other side, once again could have just been told off if only I knew.

I'm sorry about all of this and if I've disappointed anyone by my actions. I originally come from a cursed place called nebulous where the rules used to be a little bit lean back, and when I've found out about Willard it was completly something new to me.

I have to be honest and say that it is true that I might have breached the metagame, it is very likely due to my playstyle of how I play, I always prefer to put anyone else's fun before my own and thus it is possible that I'd get into trouble just so that others can have fun RP experience.

I have to be honest with me not thinking straight, at the early of Willard the rules used to be more lean back, and with the sudden change of the ruleset, I couldn't really keep up to date with everything new that has happened, Willard develops really fast, even for me, and I'm proud to see it, I'm just sad to see myself not being able to keep up with the flow. I barely visit forums or discord for stuff like this, I like to keep things purely IC but it can be very hard when you have a group of more than 12 active players who always need to ask you about things, sometimes it's hard to keep everything IC and not entirely possible. That doesn't explain the reasoning behind why I'm banned at the moment, but just try and see it from my point of view, try and put yourself into my shoes and you might understand.

Thank you.

I've never meant to damage Willard, the community, or not a single person with any action I've done over my whole time spent on the server.
During my time I've only ever PK'd one 1 character who was shamman and had been killing people around for fun. I don't mean to sound like a victim here, not at all, I fully understand why I'm in this situation right now, but what I'm trying to say here is that I don't see myself as someone who's just some minge worthy to be permabanned, I can't think of one negative action that would effect a single player of Willard besides the shamman thing.


Do you have any picture or video evidence to support your reason?:
I have never been really good with appeals or any forums stuff, but if there's one thing I've always wanted to do with my time on Willard it was to make people laugh and have fun, so hopefully this bafoon that I am makes at least someone laugh. I'm not here to make people miserable or sad or disappointed, but I feel like I've just done the latter with my actions that led to me getting banned. So if anything, I hope this at least brings a smile to someone's face, because for the fool I am deserves to be laughed at, for the worst or for the best.

Were there any witnesses who can help in this appeal?: (List the steam and/or character names of them or tag them):
I am not sure. I have not been provided evidence to anything just yet, only rumours and bits of the abuse command because others got banned too.

Thank you to whoever read this appeal until this point, I don't except to get unbanned, or reviewed, or anything for the matter. I just hope for understanding and at least a response so I may hopefully defend myself properly because I'm 100% sure that the things I'm being accused of are not true at all and hopefully I'm going to able to prove it once I get the evidence.

Thank you and have a nice day, please don't be mad about each other, at the end, we are all here to have fun and enjoy Garry's mod, I'm not some sort of minge, I just try to provide people with fun.

Here you char switched to save Joku after using the /act commands to look through two doors. You then bodyblocked CPs from getting a shot off on their character. (Should be read bottom to top.)

Here in these logs you used /actwindow twice, and I have a screenshot of you doing the second one. Unfortunately, I am presently unable to access the logs in-game due to a technical issue but once i'm able I will update this post with a marked screenshot of when you did this later on.

Metagaming, Char Hopping, Abusing Act Commands in less than an 15 minutes.

Bhopping can't be logged, but we had multiple witnesses in and out of Staff of yourself and a few others bunnyhopping through some sections of the sewers. This was observed by Robert and added to the list. While we don't have any hard evidence barring several eyes, this has spurred myself to teach my Staff how to use shadowplay for future reference.

There are logs of you opening and closing an admin locked BMD container. There's almost a page of logs of you doing so. This is under "Exploits" as we presently don't know how you got access to two or more locked containers that shouldn't be available to the public. Container #7558.

Either way. There is almost several more pages of stuff we can put here, but honestly at this point it's more so just piling it atop the other stuff we've caught you on previously. It's clear by the video you sent and the response that you're not exactly taking this seriously, so I'll do you a favor and allow you one last reply before I close this appeal. Make it count.

Yes, I have self admitted to bunnyhopping and admitted to using /actwindow in my previous post.
As much as it doesn't explain the rule break, I wasn't really aware that these two were not allowed, I've seen people bunnyhop and use /actwindow in the past. There was a peephole that we have been using ever since I can remember.
I'm honestly not sure what to say to these things but if there's one thing I can offer and that is honesty. I've honestly had no idea /actwindow was not allowed, and I've honestly never think I could get banned for bunnyhopping in the sewers when there was no players online. I wouldn't disrupt the roleplay of people around the server, and I'd never bunnyhop if a player saw me. In all honesty I don't know what else to say besides a sorry, I honestly didn't know.

I'm not sure what order to take with these stuff. So I'll just get back to the first reason and that is metagame.
Yes, I honestly don't know what I was thinking back there. I hate to see whenever anyone on the server gets PK'd because I know how much effort and time is spent on a single character. I don't know why I've done something so dumb, but if there's one thing I can say is that I certainly won't do it again.

Exploiting - This wasn't really an exploit, the containers belonged to Ruffian and I asked him if I'd be able to get access to the containers and he just gave me the passwords because he doesn't play and the items inside the container would have just pilled up dust. I don't know how to explain this, I didn't know this was not allowed and I'm sorry about it.

And no, the video I've made was not a meme, it was not meant to provide anything to the appeal, it was just to make people have a slight amount of laugh. I didn't meant this in unserious way, it's quite hard for me to express my feelings trough the computer but if it's required, I can make another video where I could show my genuine interest in the server and my genuine passion for the server.
I'm really clueless as to what to do at this point, I'm not sure if there's something I can do that could help my case at all. I love Willard and I've spent 14 hours a day on the server just to be able to play it, I don't think I deserve to be permabanned after contributing so much and getting banned over a small slip that I've made. Is this really something worth to be erased from the community? I'm not really sure, with all my interest I've made this appeal, with all my efforts that I could come up with I've made this appeal and yet I can't think of a single defense that I can make that would make it slightly better.
I did admit to most of the things, bunnyhopping and using /actwindow but I really don't see myself exploiting the server at all for being told a password to a container that I had no idea was not meant to be accessed by players.

I'm honestly sorry, and I'm not sure how else to put it. I didn't mean to offend anyone with my video, I didn't mean to break anyone's RP with my bunnyhopping, I only tried to save Joku because I hate to see people getting PKed, because I know how much time is being spent on a character. The choices Joku took back then was a certain suicide, and I don't know, it saddens me to see a friend of mine be sad.

I never meant to hurt the server or anyone, in fact. I've always tried my best to provide people with fun and laughs, I genuinely don't think I desrve to be permabanned over a genuine mistake I've done. I don't know what I could possibly do in the world for you to trust me, but I'm no sort of minge who is just here to hurt the server, I only always try what's best for the players. That doesn't excuse me from the actions I've done. I honestly don't know if there's something I can do, or not, I don't know. If I do get unbanned, I'd make sure that I won't do anything like this again. I've never been banned on Willard in my entire life, 1 time which was appealed and proved to be false, but I genuinely don't have any bad intend towards the server, I'm just a player who wants to have fun and make other players to experience fun as well. Please allow me to keep making people have joy in rebelRP, the Bottlestreet is one of the only groups that allows anyone in the street to partake in rebelRP.
I honestly didn't mean to break a rule on purpose or to hurt the server, I really didn't. I only ask for one last chance, I'm not a player who would intentionally do something that could get me banned, Willard used to be more lean with rules at the begging of Version 2 and during its beta, I've gotten too much used to the system and when new rules came in, I couldn't really keep up with them, because that was just my sort of playstyle at the moment. I genuinely don't think I'm a bad person for the server and I can prove to you all that I can make good things, Bottlestreet is one of them and my current main pride that I bare on Willard.
I only ask for one and last chance to prove you I can do better than this. Please do consider.

Edit: I don't know what I could possibly do, I'd sacrifice all of my current characters that I have, Mirek, Bella and Onaga or the ability to use OOC chat forever or the ability to partake in RebelRP or I'd record myself reading this whole post myself just anything to get a second chance at this. I'm really clueless here.

If you really wanted to make people laugh and be a positive member of the community, you wouldn't have routinely broke our rules on multiple occasions and in some cases in rapid succession. We have questions that you answer upon entering Willard, and a clear "Guidelines and Rules" tab on the forums. Yet, you still did so. I am dropping "Exploits" and a few other things as you've told us that your access to certain containers/etc were done by a member of staff who no longer is with us.

REDUCED - 1 Month ban. We've clarified to you many, many times. After this 1 Month ban if you return and do this stuff again, it'll be permanent. Don't make me regret my choice.
