Banning admin here-

You were banned for power gaming for dropping a drug bag next to an AFK player, making a 911 call, running away and then logging off the server. Normally I would've pulled you to a sit to explain the situation, however due to your LTARP (which frankly I should've put on you ban reason as well, but oh well) I decided to just ban without an explanation.

2024-03-23 01:57:51 Johnathan Doe tried 'drop' on item 'Methaqualone' (#15002367)
2024-03-23 01:58:08 Johnathan Doe used '/911 This guy trying to sell me drugs, dropped it on the ground be quick'
2024-03-23 01:58:53 Player disconnected from the server, reason: Disconnect by user.

How is this OOC or /me abuse? Also it wouldn't be LTARP as the guy was AFK and I was messing about and no police was on and active. There was no RP. If anything LTAP but not that either as I had no idea I was at risk of punishment for messing around trying to frame someone for drugs at 3am.

Attempting to have someone arrested by dropping drugs next to them is textbook powergaming.

"Powergaming is described as forcing a scenario or roleplay onto someone against their will, usually in violation of the rules. Using other game mechanics to powergame can include, . . . forcing players to commit crimes, . . ."

"You may not invent evidence to force a roleplay. . ."

Its not inventing evidence, it is literally me dropping a bag of meth beside someone in attempt to create a police scenario which a whole 2 people was on at this time. Im sure no report happened you just took it upon yourself to offline ban someone for a day for "Powergaming" after trying to create RP at 3am. Also since when did any server in the history of Gmod ban people for 24 hours for Powergaming.

Also this is in YOUR FORUMS for the discription of powergaming

Powergaming = Forcing unfair actions against another person using OOC means

There was no OOC abuse, you cannot make up your own version of Powergaming.

Nothing you put there I did. This literally is speaking about forcing someone to do something unrealistic OOC. I didn't force him to break any laws or crimes. Didn't do anything OOC. Regardless your input is invalid. Fuck off
