I am posting this for Amiss/Yurri as he is comm banned.
In-game name:Yurri
SteamID (https://steamid.io/
Doesn’t work on my account for steamid.io. (Account name is amiss810)
Staff members in-game name: proggy
Staff members SteamID (/id (name): can’t find it because i don’t remember his name on steam
Date & Time of incident: Early April (somewhere between the 6th and 8th).
Timezone: CST
Ban Reason: Cheating/ban evasion
How long were you banned for?: 999 years (perma)
Proof of Ban: Trust me
What happened? (include any proof): Toggled on an old account, got banned, alted and came back for a while on another call
Why should your ban be removed?:
Almost half a year. This appeal is being made under Garnet's word that he said, and I quote “I'd suggest you give it a couple of months and take a peak at the forums/appeal” (cya around - Topic from Introductions and Departures by Yurri).
(After talking to Salmon about the situation back in May. Garnet told me to appeal in a couple months) I feel as if in the time I was gone, I’ve actually had time to reflect on who I am and what I did. I’ve seen the ups and downs of not being able to play on the server or talk to some of the friends I made there. However, after all of the time, I feel that my appeal should be seen, and voted on. Talking to Tuna, he said “The thing is though, alot of people who played then arent really around so it might be a little weird. Me, python, acer, salmon are about it.” (Quoted from discord DM’s. Can provide images if needed). Knowing this information pulled me to appeal, because I can infer from this that most of the community now doesn’t know me and can provide insight about my situation from an unbiased standpoint. So, to conclude this section, I will go over the reasons one might say I should stay banned.
Obviously from my previous appeals, there have been many mixed feelings about who I am. Some people in the community don’t like me at all, and some people were sad to see me go ath the time. From the people that didn’t like me, I can understand 100% why you don’t want me back. I fucked up big time, and hid something from the staff team for a long time. I never told anyone about what happened until post-ban. Accusations of me cheating were thrown out there (around February), but no cheating ever happened then. The reason I brought this up is because there is a direct quote from SA Jake. I heard this a long time ago (~May) from Python, and again today from Tuna. They both said, and I will quote, “Yeah, I mean to even quote jake. He would have given you another chance, but you were caught instead of owning up to it” (Quoted from discord DM’s with Tuna. Images can be provided if needed/requested). Not many know this, but back in February, Jake conducted a search on my computer for cheating softwares.
(Proof of the conversation from February 7th-8th, 2021 - Discord DM’s).
After he concluded his search and found nothing, he continued to tell me that people were accusing me of cheating. At this time, no cheat of any kind was installed on my computer. When the search was conducted, there was a sense in Jake’s tone that I remember. He was talking in a tone where he was very confident as he had me type in things like “Odium, Meth, SMEG, etc.” into my windows search bar. I could be wrong--however that day, if he found anything, he would’ve instantly banned me. After this incident, I don’t fully believe the argument that if I owned up to the incident the situation would’ve been different. Once again--I could be wrong, but that's just my take on this. Also, I feel like If I were to own up to it eventually, the situation would’ve been different just because there would be a decision made in the moment. Everyone in life has experienced this at least once--If something does something that truly makes you upset, and you hear about it abruptly, you are likely to make a harsher punishment on them. This is how I felt and felt this situation would’ve been handled.
The other main argument against me was that I became staff for the server while on an alt. When I applied for staff, nobody knew who I was. It was a clean(ish) slate for me. I met all new people, and people started to enjoy being around me. Just from this, it can show that even with a bad background, you create the character for yourself in the present. Not the past or the future. Everyone has done something in the past that creates guilt in themselves or other people. However, after time passes, people start to forget about it, or you do something better in your life to yourself and/or others to make it up. In 2007, The Commission of Effective Criminal Sanctions organized a conference in Chicago on “Overcoming Legal Barriers to Reentry.” (https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publications/criminaljustice/secondchances.pdf Page 6-7). It brought together policy-makers, government officials, business owners, and people with criminal records to encourage employers to hire/rehire people with criminal records. The reason for this is because persons with criminal records or persons that have attended prisons are way less likely to commit another crime because of the punishment they have endured. In this case, I have endured the punishment of being banned from the community for almost 6 months. Also, a lot of older players from this community have been given a second chance from the ban wipes. Players that have been perma’d come back and have another shot with a ban wipe. Like I said, I could’ve let the server down for a number of people, I also feel like I helped many people on the server.
Now, what is tough is comparing my situation to someone else’s situation because I don’t believe anyone else has had the same situation as me in the history of GG. I could be wrong, but no appeal I’ve ever seen has to do with cheating, ban evasion, and then becoming staff on top of it. I had an original question about my situation and how it was being handled differently than other players who have cheated before and have been unbanned. After talking to Garnet about the situation and how it had been totally different, I was met with this: "Alright Now My support for you or involvement in the situation is over now that you’re trying to take the focus away from the bad you did, but try to say “but somebody else was a complete moron too” (Message sent by Garnet to me on April 7th 2021. No image can be provided because it was not messaged over discord, and for confidentiality.) In previous appeals I’ve made, I’ve never attempted to take the blame away from myself or put it on someone else. It can be seen most in my post from Introductions and Departures: “I never said cheating was something okay to do. I never endorsed cheating and/or told anyone else to. I had literally said in my appeal that I am taking full responsibility for using a cheat in december. so, before you get on my ass with an argument saying "he's [yurri] using someone else to take the burden off his back of what he did." I am not trying to take anything off me” (cya around - Topic from Introductions & Departures. Posted on April 7, 2021). I still take the burden, blame, and punishment for what happened, but even people that aren’t on my side still think the punishment was too harsh for what I did. I will try to format this to the best of my ability.
“ On 4/7/2021 at 2:43 PM, Garnet said:
permanent community-wide ban.
Bit excessive unless he like used exploits instead of regular aimbot, esp etc. I remember when I was banned I was playing SWRP and DRP still so if he doesn't cheat on those servers it doesn't seem to much an issue at least from my perspective.”
(Quote from Pencil, for my ban, on April 8, 2021. Quote taken from cya around - Topic in Introductions and Departures, Posted on April 7th, 2021.)
Finally, I would like to say as my last statement, although my impact is only seen as bad on the server, however, there were plenty of good things I did as well. After only under a month of being on the server, I led a faction, less than a month on the server, I became staff for all the same reasons. Someone saw something in me. They saw everything I could bring to the server, and I did just that. I was, in my opinion, a pretty decent and reliable staff member for the time being. I helped people in need, helped keep the server running smoothly, and helped keep it a good place for everyone. I have been gone for a while, and I feel like I’ve had enough time to recollect and process everything that has happened, so I felt like now was a good time to re-appeal under Garnet’s word. As the last part of this appeal, I would also like to give an actual sincere apology this time. Last time in my appeal, I apologized in a snarky way/kinda like an asshole, but this time I would actually like to apologize on behalf of myself and everyone this has affected and/or if it has affected how GG is viewed. I would like to apologize to both the staff team, as well as the executives. I made you guys look bad for a little bit, but only time will heal, and I hope to make amends in some way. I hope you can see that I am really being sincere here and I mean it this time. The final regard, and reason I want to be unbanned is because I really enjoyed my time on the server. I had ~650 hours, and I had a lot of fun there. I met new friends who I still keep in contact with today, and I actually found someone who can play guitar and that I was able to play with. Its moments like that. The small ones that really make differences and memories. Hell, I bet there are memories people have with the server that was with me in it, or that I’m a big part. And, there could be memories made with people that were given a second chance on the server--you never know. I am just trying to say, although i’ve fucked up in the past, sometimes, not always, but sometimes, it's better to look into the future of what's to come if someone like me gets unbanned, rather than looking into the past at someone’s past. Their past can be referenced, however, I don’t feel like it should be the only thing someone looks at when deciding something like this. Thank you for your time.
All together, there are many mixed feelings about having me back in the community. I don’t know any of the executive’s standpoints, but I know standpoints from players that were in the community when I was there. Instead of being like my last appeal, (getting denied instantly,) I would like this appeal to be available longer for people to see. I also would like Garnet to notice just for the sole purpose that he told me to appeal after a few months. I would like for all of you who are reading this to take your time to read what arguments I have made, as well as all of the evidence I have provided to prove my point. Even if an unban doesn’t occur at all, or doesn’t occur in the beginning, I would like to know if there is even any sort of task I can do to further make up for what I did.
Once again, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read all of my thoughts, ideas, and evidence I’ve put together. Tuna will be posting this on behalf of me. Thank you for your time, and have a great day.

Yeah, this definitely paints me in a poor light. When I made that ban appeal I was just mad about getting banned for what I just saw as goofing off. I hope you can understand I have had a year to think about it and I know that this was improper behavior, I hope you take my word when I say i've matured alot.
Accepted
You will be unbanned, but looking at your old post you seemed a bit hostile.
I agree a lot with people reforming, so keep this in mind. You will have eyes over your shoulder.

The clip clearly shows that Stork had no intention of actually hitting who he did. Granted the area was also claimed to so idea why you were warned anyways. Just be more careful now that you know of the ricochet mechanic-

Me and you never really interacted that much outside of some instances. But I kinda owe alot to you, accepting my staff application Is what kept me around. By now I would have left the community like I did a couple years ago. Pretty much all I can do now is say thanks. Good luck in life

I think you'd be a fine addition to join the staff team, I would like to see more activity though. I'd be more than happy enough to change this to a +1 if I see you on the server more.

I would love for you to explain to me how the reintroduction of third person would solve:
1. headglitching
2. jumping around corners
While nothing can really be done to remove headglitching as is plagues almost every FPS nowadays, it could be used as a tool to peek over a hill and find the sniper without running out blindly and getting sniped by someone you can't see. As for the jumping around corners, if I remember correctly when you used 3rd person in a war that was almost the tactic for CQC. Although with a 3rd person view, you can actually see what you're shooting at as opposed to clipping through the playermodel and guessing where to shoot.
11 hours ago, PrisonNightmare said:Third person combat wars were truly hell on earth, head glitching was still a thing but this just allowed people to find enemies without even exposing themselves.
While true, the main purpose I'm trying to get with this suggestion is that in my, and some other community member's opinions, war in its current state is not fun; and many of them agreed that 3rd person combat was some of the most fun combat they've had on the server.
4 hours ago, Dillan said:I enjoyed third person mode during its time on the server during war, because it was a very effective crutch. The server was heavily war based for many years, since it was the core gameplay focus. Simulations, tryouts, and raids, were present only for fluff to give the feeling of progression.
Third person as a tool is very fun. It allows for some variation to RP, and allows for a person to view the world from a different angle. It also allows for adjustments to combat and core gameplay of a firefight. I heavily used it while it was active during war. The reasoning being, it makes it easier for a player to have better game sense in combat.
Most people claim aim is the most important skill a player must have, because if you can hit a player more than they hit you, you win. The other two skills that are necessary to be a good player are movement and game sense. We have all seen PVTs that don’t know what planet they are on, and get mowed down, because they forget people can exist besides in front of them.
Third person allowed for skilled players to view over surfaces and terrains more skillfully, due to the enhanced game sense it allowed. It also allowed in some areas, wall bangs that the other person couldn’t see. I loved it because it helped me be a better player. However it was able to be abused with sniper rifles for example.
Third person was nerfed and eventually removed over the years it was implemented. By setting the FOV to a maxed lower capacity, and removing the crosshair. Some player managed to find ways to abuse it still, by forcing the FOV, and some drawing dots on their monitor where a crosshair would be. G-man eventually removed it entirely, as it became unfit for the majority of the unskilled population to play against.
Do I miss it, yes? Does it need to be added back? No.
Currently events have been added to the server more consistently with the assistance of game masters, and staff with game master perms. While this can cause issues occasionally, it has revitalized many players with new RP, and creativity that it brought. It also, allows for third person to be used in these events. If you wish to use third person, there will always be NPCS, and role-play events where you can use them.
While I agree with this post a lot, the suggestion wasn't really tailored towards events, as they currently are the only reason I play anymore. The suggestion was for war as stated above, many people just don't find it enjoyable anymore.

Description: [description of what you are suggesting, one paragraph minimum]
Combat on the server in it's current state is just a "pixel-peeking simulator" where almost everybody who knows how to fight well sit behind a hill and headglitch. (images below) Many players whom I've talked to all agree that combat just isn't as enjoyable as it used to be. What I'm proposing is the reintroduction of 3rd person combat. From what I've gathered from multiple members of the community, is that combat basically is broken down into sniping while being almost undetectable (whilst headglitching) and jumping around corners with an AEK. Back from when 3rd person combat was around, combat (in my opinion) was more skill based than it is now.
Reasoning: [how would this benefit our server?]
Combat as it stands has been described as "not fun" from many members of the community. While I'm sure that some would prefer another way to make it better (such as weapon reworks, weapon stat changes etc.) This is one change I think that would be the easiest, and best way to change up combat and make it more fun.

Being as non-biased as possible, there's simply no reason he shouldn't be accepted. He has the experience, and is currently the only 212th applicant. Clearly the community is also in support, so good luck!
Excact reason for me, this guy has had a positive impact on MRP, be it in Army or GRU. I'm confident he will be a fantastic choice

Amiss/Yurri ban appeal
in Denied
Posted
No. This was one thing that was miscommunicated with Python as well. Python said the same thing as you and thought I had said I was cheating the whole time. I never bragged about it. Instead of bragging, I was apologetic about it, and never had any intent or idea to brag, and I never once said I was cheating the whole time I played. I didn't have any client downloaded or any software on my PC for the duration of my Yurri account, and never had any intent to download a cheat/use one after my first account. I hope this clears up any miscommunications. -yurri
