Why should this appeal be considered?: As it has now been 6 months since my last alt account and almost 10 months since I have gotten banned,

I am making another sincere apology to everyone I have affected with my past involving alt accounts, It was terrible of me to allow my friends to continuously make alt accounts for them to minge, likely ruin peoples days and waste administrative time that could have been better used elsewhere. I should have never encouraged this behaviour from the beginning, and definitely not continue it after I got my ban which was very short-sighted.


* summary of what I did if anyone doesn't know

My irl friends began ban evading around September and asked me to help them out with guns and money at the beginning, so I supplied them for a while through my casino table I usually ran at bazaar, I pretended that they won the bets and I would pay them out even if they lost because I knew they were my friends.

I don't remember how long after it was, but soon after they highly encouraged me to go raid with them and become friends ingame with me, so I pretended to not recognise their voice and I started raiding with them and even patrolling with them on cop.

Eventually, 3izu and Scoot caught us all by surprise and brought us all up to an admin sit, then my friends began acting very immature and began just slandering people in the community and swiftly received their ban. Then I came clean to 3izu and Scoot and admitted that I knew they were alting. After great consideration, they decided to give me a low 3 month ban as I was very compliant and honest which was extremely kind from both of them.

This entire situation of stressing of if I would get caught and trying to hide it could have been very easily avoided, if I had just even privately messaged an admin that they were alting in the beginning, this way my friends wouldn't know it was me who reported them and I could be playing right now. But instead I thought I could get away with it and continued failing to report them, which is just always going to be impossible and anyone would get caught eventually.

Then after receiving my ban, I once again got influenced by my friends and began alting with them and thought I wouldn't get caught this time, I would be careful. Only a week after receiving my ban I ban evaded with a friend I failed to report originally and got caught by Bolli, I then continued occasionally making alt account attempts until March where I received my final alt account ban.

Since then, I have learned to not be so easily influenced and have matured greatly since then. I am very ashamed of what I have done in the past. Even though I would say I was a decently liked person in this community, outside of it I used to be a greedy person honestly and was suffering from a few things irl at the time that I would rather not say publicly for personal reasons. I have genuinely improved as a person in many ways. I miss this great server and the many fun moments I had. I miss the friends I had and creating fun roleplay scenarios with them. I miss the grind of ranking up and progressing within the police department. I miss many things about this server and wish I could return and create new memories in the new map.

I genuinely apologise to anyone I have affected in my past, whether that being my friends minging and ruining your experience, or even when I was alting, I apologise for not waiting out my ban and becoming so impatient I ban evaded, it was never fair on others.

Ban evading was very selfish of me honestly, not only because I threw away that generous small ban, but also because its just unfair on everyone else. Its not fair that while someone is patiently waiting to be unbanned, I just go on an alt and evade my ban. Its also not fair on the staff team, as they have to spend time banning and focusing on me, when that time could be used to resolve another report or anything else. It could have even been that they were about to go offline for example, but found out that I was ban evading and had to deal with that instead, which I sincerely apologise for if that was ever the case.

I hope that if anyone that ever comes across someone that they know is alting, or is even currently alting themselves, or has anything to do with alting or any rulebreak honestly, to learn from my mistakes and report it to an admin and stop, as it will never be worth it and you will always eventually get caught.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to read my extensive apology, sorry if its a bit too long but this is honestly the best way I could express my regret about my past mistakes and I hope that you can forgive me, both the staff team and the community.

Additional Information: If possible, I will take any unban deal offered, as I have genuinely matured as a person and I am fully confident that I will not break any more rules.
