Ban Appeal - youeatpaste - 07-04-2023
Your Name: youeatpaste
Your SteamID 560201698
Your Discord ID#: youeatpaste
Reason for ban: metagaming
Length of ban: 3 days
Reason for appeal I was told to stop shooting at people so I did and I was still banned for metagaming, i spend a bunch of time in game daily, and i apologize for being is discord. I don't have any previous offences besides tonight because I don't intentionally do anything to effect other players. I didn't know we could get in trouble if we weren't doing anything to other players. after i was told no shooting at random people i stopped and just ran around
Why should you be unbanned? I honestly didn't know it was considered meta gaming if we weren't doing anything like mugging or speaking out of game to gain advantage on other players. Ill make sure to not do it again

Yes you were warned earlier on the night for shooting at people for no reason, yet it was clear that the 4 of you were using Discord to coordinate in game in character movements, you would get separated and then magically know where the other was without any IC communication. 3 of you in your group tried to get into silver tongue but it was locked, Magically Donny left his 14k char and joined in on his Colombo char and unlocked the door for you guys. Again, using discord as your means of communication for coordinating IC movements.
The funny thing to me is whenever there is a faction war, people scream metagame when they think people are using discord to communicate, but when there is no faction war the same people screaming metagame are fine using discord to communicate on and don’t classify it as metagame.

Hello!
Attention was called to your alt characters when a member of your group began shooting at random members walking by. From that point on, two staff members had been observing your group. It became clear to them that something suspicious was going on with your in game movements so they continued their observations. They then got myself and Rem involved and together we watched a stream of your group moving around the map, coordinating with one another without saying or typing a single thing in game. It was also witnessed by Rem and myself the events that Boom listed in his response above. He was advised by us to make the call he did in regards to your punishments for acting in such a way. Please take this time to reflect on your actions and familiarize yourself with our sever rules
