Warning appeal

[Sosbabe]

Your Steam Name: Sosbabe
Your SteamID: 76561198262391043
Your Character Name: Keisuke Takahashi

Which Staff issued the Warning Point: Alphadef

Reason for the warning point(s): Metagaming
Why should the point(s) be removed:

Quite ironic that my video is titled metagaming and i get warned for it LOL. It was deserved and i'm not complaining in the slightest since i guess i incriminated myself. I think this should be removed because my friend was telling me stuff to do and i can't control what he saids. This was also the first time i found out talking to your friends on discord was against the rules. He talks a lot but as u can see in the video i did not act on anything he said. I knew we were busted and that's it. I learned my listen on talking to your friends on discord since its way better rp without it! I'll tell him as soon as we get on to buy a radio.

Time of Occurrence: Yesterday
Additional members involved/witnessing: Tman004 (The one speaking on discord)
Read, understood and followed warning point appeal rules?: Yes

While it is technically an SA's decision not mine, I would be more than willing to accept a compromise of giving one or both of your warning points to the one who was actually doing the talking instead, since as you pointed out you were more so just listening to what he said with no control over what he was saying.

Hey I can see what you’re talking about but I don’t understand the difference between radioing him the message and/or texting him the message. I’m new so I really don’t know how to use radio and audio is extremely wonky sometime when I play, discord plays different for me. I also feel as if you dismissed a vital argument of ours which was the officer came back for little to no reason at all. The first time he came through was recorded as well (he pretty much just said I’ll be ticketing you for your car...which was on private property and parked. I told him to go ahead and ticket me and then he went away). Knocking on the door once was definitely okay but the second time felt a little bit nosey and seemed as if he was reaching to arrest us.

The main difference between discord and all the other forms of communication is that discord is practically telepathy in game. No one else can hear what you're saying when they normally would and you can plan things without other parties knowing, even when right in front of their face. The only form of in character communication other players can't see is iMsg, which comes at the trade off that you have to pull out your monotablet and type it out to the person.

As for the actual report itself, there is very little I can do with only the targets in character name, and player reports without steam IDs are usually denied. If you can give me a connecting factor I would be more than happy to grab the steam ID for you to use, or if you ever look at the player unobstructed in your video evidence you can grab the steam ID from under their name. That is the main reason why I denied the PR. I didn't look too far into the clip due to this fact, and am merely trusting Stewart's analysis of the situation to be correct. If you get the steamID and make the PR again with it I will more than happily take another, closer look to double check.

Hi @Tman004

I appreciate your honesty and I understand your point of view, however, the radio is put in place to prevent other players from communicating when in real life if you were nearby you would be able to hear them, giving an unfair advantage to other players. (alpha summed it up well above)..

With that being said it is expected when you join the server to read the server rules, in the server rules this is clearly stated the rule, and it is not on the staff team to give out verbal warnings because you failed to read the server rules. However, because you are new to the server and your metagaming did not lead to anything that would alter the results of the situation, I will reduce your wp to 1 instead of 2.
