Steam Name: hawke
Your SteamID: STEAM_0:0:19858481
Your Character Name: James Hawke

Ban Length: 2 years (730 days)
Banning Staff Member: @Kn1ght

Ban Reason: Mass VDM (ran over 3 people), NITRP (RP is no longer in the gamemode name as of tomorrow)
Unban Reason: In my personal and honest opinion, I wholeheartedly view a ban duration of one or two years to be extremely harsh and unfair given the actions I committed that are associated with said punishment.

After spending a seven-month ban sentence for shotgunning two new civilians wandering outside the city of Truenorth as a deranged cop, I came back on the server last evening with a close buddy of mine to see the feedback on the new Monoford teaser. We played for a while and gained some player attraction around us who were chatting with us.

Since this was my last day off for the next week and a half, the two of us drank (I mixed Crown Royale with Canada Dry, very tasty stuff). Proceeding the beverages, I became under the influence and began acting up. We still had a small swarm of players around us at the mechanic garage and my buddy tased two of them for whatever reason. I can recall moving their bodies in between a door which initiates the classic ragdoll spaz. After this, I am brought into an admin sit and I am blacklisted from an assortment of categories for a month. This was a bit over the top, especially OOC and weapons which I did not break any rules, but it was better than a ban to be fair.

Afterward, I got into my own car since I was no longer able to use weapons or be apart of the police and proceeded to hit and run two people walking along the road and one person on the sidewalk before being banned.

I don't excuse these actions, it's happened in the past and I understand that punishments raise every time an instance is repeated. However, no one was deeply impacted by my actions and to be quite honest, a lot the people around me (besides the poor bastards that died but didn't lose anything) were having a good time. I've spent a lot of time and energy over the past while putting my creativity and technical skills to the limit to get Monoford ready for release and I think it goes without mention that whatever dumb shenanigans I caused in a few minutes on a rare occasion last night on the server does not nearly compare to the number of countless hours I put in to excel the gamemode/community forward. I'm not asking for special treatment, I'm just asking for a re-evaluation and fair treatment of my current rule-break so that I can at least see what the map looks like in action once the launch happens. Monolith has been around for just about two and a half years (if we count from Rockford's launch) and serving a sentence in which the duration is almost as long as the entire existence of said server is, in my opinion, harsh and generally just mean.

Hello Hawke,

After carefully reviewing your ban appeal, punishment and actions on the server (that lead to your ban), we decided to deny your ban appeal.
However, your ban length was set to 1 year, due to your recurring behaviour and actions (including past ones) that lead to your punishments. You got off a lengthy ban a month ago, and decided to act in an unacceptable manner once more.
