Pseudonym

I am Pseudonym. I have been justly banned for an unjust reason. I am not taking it lying down, for any of my supporters, I grant you this piece of evidence for why you should no longer support me. I am no longer a good person, I am a more genuine form of evil than you can find on this server. As proof, I present to you my ban appeal (skip to the epilogue for a partial self dox +ramblings of the damned) BAN APPEAL IN ITS ENTIRETY: Title: Pseudonym's Ban Appeal or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Become Hate Exact ban message: RDM - Pseudonym - 1d - Strae PREFACE: Before we get further into this I do have to say: I have aspirations of joining the APD, RNR, and perhaps even the administrative/moderation team, so I care much more about the fact that this ban is on my record, than I do about the duration of the ban. Please, take your time analyzing my reasoning and thinking it over, I don't much care for saving myself a few extra hours so I can get back in the server faster. What I care about is being able to say that I followed the rules and the handbook reasonably, and that my actions were reasonable and did not justify a ban. Please, grab yourself a cup of tea, open up that physical edition of the RNR handbook that I know for a fact you have, and let's challenge our believes. Clip that banned me, relevant part starts at 5:24 Hello. I was banned for RDM for telling a medic "Collision lights off or die", and then proceeding to kill him because he did not turn his collision lights off. I believe this was an unjust ban. The reason for the ban, from my understanding, was something along the lines of: The RNR handbook says medics "Must operate with collision lights on at all times", therefore, if you tell a medic to turn their collision lights off, you are forcing them to violate the handbook. I disagree with this logic as I think it is pretty implicitly obvious that they would be allowed to turn their collision lights off if they were threatened with death. If we take this logic of: "If the handbook says medics have to do X, then you are unable to stop them from doing X, as you would be forcing them to violate the handbook", to the extreme, I think we can find some weird examples where this obviously does not seem to be the intent. I will grant, there are sections that say something akin to: "Medics must do X, unless Y", and there are sections that simply stop at "Medics must do X", but I do not believe every section that is simply "Medics must do X" means that you are not allowed to prevent medics from doing that X. there is no immediate exception saying "unless they are forced to", but i'm damn near 100% certain I can take a blueberry hostage, then bring him to a rebel even if that would seem like it ***violates*** this section of the handbook. I can also take them hostage and bring him to an active federal event, even though he "must" be escorted by an APD into an illegal zone, such as an active federal event. There are "Special Circumstances" for feds saying stuff like: "Medics must not enter, or loiter around, the Blackwater facility while an active robbery is in progress unless they are assisting the APD or being held hostage by civilians" which is a counter to my argument, but I would say it is arguable that it can still be interpreted by the "Criteria To Enter" that they are not allowed to, as they "must" be escorted by an APD officer or higher ranking medic. And that this fed special exception still doesn't even include normal illegal areas such as Rebels and Illegal gather/process spots, thus still if you were to bring an EMT to those areas, it would be forcing them to violate the handbook. If you have a medic hostage, or are just simply forcing them to hold their hands up for the time being, and don't allow them to leave a rebel outpost when it becomes appearnt the APD is conducting a rebel raid, you are FORCING the medic to violate the handbook again! just as you aren't allowed to tell a medic "collision lights off or die", you shouldn't be allowed to tell them "hands up or die" at a rebel when APD area coming, because they "must" leave the area and contact the APD. And if we are allowing the "Special Circumstances" overwriting other parts of the handbook excuse as we could for allowing EMTs to go into a fed if they are hostage, then surely we would need to allow that same "Special Circumstances" again to allow them to stop being a hostage, and to exit the rebel outpost. If you try to initiate on a medic, you must allow them to take their wetsuit off first, or they would be violating the handbook and you would be forcing the medic to do something against the handbook. This is an example of a "must" which eventually does get counteracted by an exception. You could say this hurts my case, but I think this just tends to show how inconsistent the handbook is when you take it in totality with other "must"s (or similar verbiage) that do not have an exception, and that therefore my actions were reasonable for a scholar of the handbook. Similiar to the diving gear, but this time I'd honestly allow it because firefighting gear is glitchy as fuck, so if they don't store it people are probably gonna blow up from glitches. So they should store it even if engaged. Here we have an exception to a must. Here medics MUST return to their regularly assigned duties, which means if an entire separate third party who hasn't kidnapped the medic comes and tries to kidnap the medic, that would be forcing the medic to violate the handbook as they "must" return to their regularly assigned duties. Yet I am very confident that medics can be held hostage back to back, as long as it is from separate, completely unrelated groups, even if this part of the handbook says otherwise. Imagine a scenario where you text a medic: "Land or be titaned!". What is the medic supposed to do? First, check if there is a hospital nearby they can land at, if not, check if there is an air garage they can land at, if not, check if there is "Any open, urban or rural, area with the sole intent to provide medical aid to a citizen who has requested a revive", given that landing in any of those areas would not have the sole intent of providing medical aid, as there is the secondary intent of not getting titaned, you are sadly not allowed to land at any of those areas. So if I message a medic "Land or be titaned" they are required to land at a hospital, or air garage, and if they land in an open field, they have violated the handbook. And if I titan them for seemingly flying off in some random direction, when in truth they are flying to a Hospital/Air Garage, then I have committed RDM. Now you could say that it says they "may" land at these locations, and that they could just land in a rural area anyway if they feel like it because there is nothing explicitly denying them, and I would have to say: Holy Moly you are thinking like Pseudonym! And secondarily I'd have to say: Why would this section exist, if it was just allowing medics to land at places they were already allowed to land? The only way to justify it's existence in the handbook would be if you treat it as a whitelist system where everything else is blacklisted by default. If you treat this list as allowing medics to do things which they are ALREADY allowed to do, that's kind of absurd. So no, I do not believe the "may" is simply allowing them to land and places they are allowed to land at anyway. I believe the "may" is telling them specifically which places, and in which circumstances, they are allowed to land at all. If I tell a medic to "Revive X or die!" after that medic was instructed by an APD officer not to enter an area, I would be forcing him to violate the handbook, as he is supposed to wait 5 minutes first. There is no exception for being forced at gunpoint. And if we allow that exception because it is "implicit" or "common sense", then again, why would we not allow that exception for turning off your collision lights or dying? EPILOGUE: all of what you previously read was written in about half an hour. but i really couldnt care less for it. theres something thats been gnawing at me much harder than the strict meaning of the rules. it's something i only really realized after i went outside for a bit to clear my mind after writing the first part Real photo of Pseudonym touching grass under the gaze of a street lamp at 12:38 AM its that i was trying to bring fun to the server. i was trying to have an interesting interaction, i was trying to go further than the cancer that is a simple "hands up or die", a phrase which i believe is a mockery of the server. ive taken to adding it and the end of any of my phrases when i interact with hostages just because of how absurd it is "hey bro whats up or die" "good luck or die" were in a "light rp" server, yet when someone attempts to go out of the standard "hands up or die" format, and does something with a more unique interaction of "collision lights off or die" its treated as if i killed a medic for refusing to enter a gang turf. it would have been better if i just held him hostage for 15 minutes then killed him cuz no APD came. collision lights are one of those things where medics are forced to do it for like a roleplay reason, to make it more immersive in a way that they are trying to be responsible pilots, yet when i try to do some kind of roleplay, granted still purely in the "or die" format, i'm punished for it. telling a medic to land a heli or die? 100% acceptable, telling a medic to turn their collision lights off or die? a tremendous violation of the handbook and pure RDM. i've genuinely seen myself become a worse and worse person on this server. i remember when i joined the server i imagined if i could just not dispute anyone else, they wouldn't dispute me. that was rather foolish. i've still managed to only have 1 real ban on record from my time on this server (a dpi ban, mixed in with dozens of VPN bans). since i've played more and more i've become even more hateful and spiteful. i've finally started IA-ing police because something switched, i went to the pyrgos casino, got killed by enemy gangmember infront of like 5 police, anad they did absolutely nothing. that's something that really got to me, even if i didn't realize it in the moment. but i really felt that after i saw that ban message, and when i watched the video from the medics POV i could just sense that switch again, that i don't care about the RNR anymore, i could have IA-ed you guys dozens of times over, anad now you burn me? well then fucking watch what happens if i'm actually trying. i don't think that's good to feel like, but it is what i feel like. i used to try not to swear as much on the server, i thought it would be interesting if i could manage to not insult any other players, but i let that slip and it just kept slipping i've gotten to the point of calling people the r word and referencing people as "n word" (verbatim, saying the "n" then "word", not the actual full word its self, yet). i really thought that i could just to just be purely nice, but i failed. i didn't have a hard set boundary to not pass, so it just kept slipping and slipping till i don't even know if i have a boundary anaymore "You asked me why I let Dom go. I did it, because at that moment, I respected him more than I did myself. One thing I've learned from Dom is that nothing really matters unless you have a code.". I had a code, but I lost it, and i feel no desire to get it back with the people i'm sorrounded by. i don't know if they ruined me or if i was just ruined from the start and it took a push to really realize it. when i started really reading the server rules and handbooks, i started pushing things to really show of their absurdity, and that they need to be fixed. i was really trying not to IA people, i just wanted to show what was wrong with the rules if we pushed them to hard, and that they could do with a few adjustments. David Miller hoenstly fixed most of my problems with the server rules by introducing the details and examples, it finally felt like there was a path forward for all the secret interpretations of the rules. and that is still how i feel about them. but now i'm trying to push people, not the rules. i want them to fail, not the rules or the handbook to fail. i want people to expereince pain. I dont feel like the good guy anymore. I don't deserve to be unbanned, i deserve to be permenently banned from how I want to treat every player on this server. but I want to be unbanned. not because i deserve to be banned, but because the rules don't deserve to have banned me, you don't deserve to have banned me. your nothing better than every other fucked up piece of shit on this server, but i'm nothing better either, and i'm gonna bring down every fucker around me. I request to be unbanned.

why? is there a correct timeframe to use cheats? is it better to always cheat, or cheat then stop cheating, or no cheats then cheats, like if not cheating, then cheating is bad, then how about: cheats, no cheats, cheats, is that better?

i mean i've never been denied when i was requesting under false pretenses in order to take medical personnel hostage. if the person trying to take you hostage isn't dumb and like trying to request medic text to fed, what are you supposed to do? if someone requests at sofia, and they tactically left their group so you don't realize its a fed group, what are you supposed to do? and if you think a group is gonna do a fed, are you literally just gonna deny everyone in that group just incase they do a fed? if the rebels play it properly, there is nothing medics can do as long as they are still trying to generally revive people.

listen, weakling. perhaps you must resort to silencing your critics, yet are to weak to silence them yourself so you tell them to do it for you, but i am not as such. i am a strong and independent forum poster who will continue challenging you, and continue to wish to be challenged by my "peers" (if you can even call them such). yet sadly, it appears as though you are not challenging me, it is just that you yourself are challenged. i pray for your improvement arc so that i may face some form of competition from my fellow olympians, because right now i'm in gold and you don't even know there's a race. you should improve yourself, NOW! and create some value in your life, when you get better, i won't be able to stomp you, you will be a challenge, but as of now you are POINTLESS, except to find yourself a point. You are NOTHING, but you can create GREAT PURPOSE, and give a mental and athletic challenge to those around you, because what are you here for? to tell me to kill myself? IMPROVE YOURSELF, and i mean that with a 100%, with a 1000%, because right now i'm looking for competition but they are so far behind me and i haven't even moved a step in years.

how do you not let yourself get taken hostage? if there is group with 20 players on it that say they are gonna do a fed in sidechat, and one of their members is requesting, you can't deny him because that would be denying an entire group. you have to revive people, which brings you to people who can take you hostage. sometimes when i hop on the server i literally just click the respawn button, request medic, then take them hostage. if there aren't incentives for harder revives to the point where you have to disable features for medics, then maybe you need incentives for harder revives? maybe give some kind of feedback that he could actually think about?

interestingly enough, "Let medics gamble" and "Fuck them medics" are effectively the same answer

do some math, figure out which combination of mines has the least likely chance of winning. with 1 mine, there is a 1/25 chance you clear the entire thing, and with 24 mines, there is a 1/25 chance you clear the entire thing

my boy rylex didn't do ANYTHING illegal

As Pseudonym, I approve of this message.

Actually he really never cheated.. He doesnt have an alt so it really just dont make any sense at all, he cameback after 2 weeks without playing to a ban evading ban while he never used an alt, either an admin did him wrong or theres a problem on how they linked / verify that ban. I assure you I wouldnt be trying to cover his ass if he did, but he didnt that is ridiculous that nobody wants to talk with him on teamspeak yall have the wrong guy. That guy is innocent, period..

is this common sense? on my olympus forums?

damn red smoke literally ended up killing conquest fucking cooked brothers. guess i'll have to drop the p07 montage posthumously

Medium rare take: DPI jumping can't be considered exploiting if it's intentionally allowed on S1 when on S3 it's intentionally disabled.

oh my god i've discovered a loophole

ahhh ok so it's a secondary option to sell from vehicle as opposed to just selling stuff in ur inventory. i thought it removed traditional inventory selling or something.

does this also mean its not possible to do a fake sell run just to see if anyone is camping drug dealer? because they would be able to see your not doing the animation?

are you telling me i'm gonna have to remove a fucking gas can from my tempest virtual inventory every time I pull it? fml i think civ ghost hawks is questionable due to identification purposes. the drug sell timer seems kind of incongruent with how everything else works. But overall you do need to try these new stuff despite potential issues or else the server will stagnate and die. my biggest problem i just don't feel like any of this stuff would get removed if it turns out to be bad.

bro desperately trying to get some revenge on rexo

the amount of superstition around the casino is actually fucking insane. i've never had the chance to see IRL people with gambling problems, and how they justify it, so it's cool to be able to see real examples of it on the internet. i'm known as a guy who tests things in my gang, so they are always like "yo pseudo how about u test the casino?" and i'm like "your levels of degenercy know no bounds. You regularly zero out your bank accounts, you self remove the KOS at casino tag from yourself on discord. I encourage you to gamble, you don't deserve money anymore"
