Why should this appeal be considered?: Well, I'd first like to start by apologizing for breaking the rules even after I've come back from being permanently banned. I know my record with Perpheads is nothing to be proud of, but I am trying my absolute best to improve it. I really tried to avoid being banned but I've now been banned twice since coming back after like 8 months
. It may not look like I'm even trying to redeem myself and become better but I assure you that is the goal. The first ban i genuinely was just in a panic and didnt put my hands up right away as I was told because i was just in a gunfight and didnt know who was telling me hands up. I did get a lengthy ban for that (about a week). I personally don't think it was quite fair to be banned that long for that as I complied after realizing it's cops and my panic settled. I did not appeal that ban though as I just took the L even though I think the admin just wanted to ban me as long as he could unfortunate. Alright now back to what's at hand and important at this current moment.Additional Information: So the story goes like this. At monorail station in subs I was watching a gunfight from a far between people & cops vs other people. I sat in the backyard of a subs house watching as the whole thing went down and all the cops kept piling up and getting killed. So maybe 5 minutes goes by and all the cops were dead. I see the person that was shooting in a purple Tesla that he had owned. After all the cops were dead and people werent popping up in the area anymore I see the shooter get into his Tesla and leave. I wait a good minute to see if the coast is clear and watch very closely to see if there is any movement. My actions were as calculated as i could make them be as I waited a good amount of time to see that the coast was clear. I didn't see any movement from any players nor did I see any players after the Tesla with the shooter had left. So after I waited and felt it was safe I decided to get check it out because there wasn't any gunfire or people from what I can see, I also felt as I waited long enough to where there wouldn't be any reason to fear for my life. So I continue to walk over to where the firefight happened and I spot a dropped AK so I stupidly enough obliged and picked it up. As I am picking this ak-47 up I hear footsteps and the same Tesla pulling right back up to the area after I watched him leave the situation and area as a whole. I'm in the middle of picking the gun up when I heard the footsteps and then A gunshot which hit the car in front of me ( The guy had no visual on me as I was crouched behind a car). Right as I picked the gun up I see the black figure peak his head from behind the car that was in front of me. "In a panic I yell hands up please" he does not comply and continues to fire so I fired back from the cover of the car but got killed. The reason I am here today aplogizing for my actions is 1: I dont have any recording ( For some reason my demos don't record even after snooping through my files and demo folder it was completely empty, kind of tedious because it used to work before I uninstalled gmod and downloaded it again) 2: It was genuine misjudgement from my part. my intention wasn't to break fear rp at all because I thought I had waited a sufficient amount of time before going into that area to see what has happened. I also had seen the shooter leave. 3: the admin had wrote that I picked up the gun in an active shootout. Unfortunately that is incorrect the gunfight had been long over when I went in the area it just so happened to be that there were 2 shooters and 1 was hiding in monorail station which I didn't see. The 2 shooters had already finished the gunfight with all the people they were engaged with and I watched that. I thought the area was clear of all hostile threats as a whole so I wasn't in fear of my life at the time until I realized my fate in the midst of picking up the gun hahaha. So was I picking up the gun in an active shootout even after they had killed everybody and then left? At least I saw the one leave which I thought was the lone shooter. At the end of the day I had no clue that I was going to be breaking a rule by doing that approach and I can see why the admin had banned me but unfortunately this matter is based mostly on perspective. I truly wish I had the recording but I don't which is why I am making an apology. I truly am sorry for any rules that I had broke for both my negligence and miscalculation. I didn't even think this would lead to a ban nor did I have that in my mind because I didn't think I would be breaking rules. I misjudged and thought the coast was clear and nobody was there anymore. At the time of me going to pickup the gun and shortly before making my run there, there were no more gun shots. I definetely could have waited a bit longer to ensure my safety but I saw the guy leave and it made me think it was safe to go. Sorry guys I really didn't think that would lead to a ban. I just have been trying my absolute hardest to be as good as possible and being friendlier to people on the server after my ban. It is absolutely heart crushing seeing that I just constantly am getting banned for things like this because I really do want to do better and I have been putting in that effort. Please I know it may not seem like it but I would like you guys to see that I'm really trying and that this ban is a bit stretched. I just wish I could have had the chance to at least talk to the admin so he could see that It wasn't intentional but he didn't want to hear me out at all because he didn't teleport me to talk. It's very hard to interpret what happened through chat I just wish he'd have given me a better chance to plead my case from my perspective. Thank you to all the admins and staff that will review my appeal and consider it. I know it's a long read therefore, my aplogogies to everyone reviewing this case. Have a great rest of your week, I'm hoping to hearing back from everyone soon, thank you.
