Why should this appeal be considered?: Aloha everyone,

It’s been nearly two years since my ban, and I’m breaking this appeal into two sections because there’s more going on than what’s listed on Scambans:

In-Game Ban:
A while back, a few friends and I jumped on the server just to goof off. I was about to hop on cop to get my activity up to try to regain my old ranks after some inactivity, then I got handed an impact nade and made a boneheaded move, that’s how I ended up here. No real excuses; I’ve been playing since 2013 and should’ve known better. I’m really sorry to everyone who got caught up in that mass RDM at Bazaar. Hope it didn’t ruin your RP.

I’ve racked up about 24 bans over the years. Some go way back to when I was a kid barely speaking English; others when I was quite a bit older, half of those from me knowingly breaking rules and half from unknowingly breaking them. I used to play with some problematic people and did dumb stuff to fit in. Now that I’m older, I’m sure I won’t fall into that trap again.

Forum/Community Ban:
I know I’m also banned from the forums and other community channels, but I’m not really appealing that one, just wanted to own up. It started when I posted a troll action request on my friend Kelson with some random old youtube video I found. It wasn’t super malicious (I didn't actually try to get him punished, I was just fucking around), but it was pointless and wasted staff time. My apologies to anyone, Efan and others, who had to deal with that.

Just like the in-game incident, that happened when I was doing whatever people told me to do without thinking. I’ve grown past that.

At the end of the day, I’d love another chance on the server. Before the ban, I was pretty active within the PLPD, got some solid ORs, and helped new players get understand the laws and policies. I also joined a few sweater orgs with friends to teach newbies the basics, and I really enjoyed that.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope you’ll consider giving me another shot.

Much appreciated,
Drajj
