Admin Notice: Player Jailed

[gunnyfreight02]

Hello, this is gunny_freight2; I am sorry my player account name does not match up with this forum name, I had some issues registering an account, which are now thankfully resolved.

I first would like to apologize to the admins and to the community for my actions, they were childish and inexcusable. Second I would like to apologize to the other player involved, unfortunately I do not remember who it was, but I would like to know so that I may apologize directly to them, either by PM on the forums, or PM in game. Third, I feel that it is only right that I enumerate the various infractions that I incurred; not as a means of bragging, but as a way to show that I have re-read and understood the server rules, and can now point out how wrong my actions were.

I would like to recount how my character ended up being jailed, but as it was a while ago, my recollection of the event maybe inaccurate, so I encourage anyone who was involved to correct me.

My story begins in the Munich system, where as I was making my way to the Frankfurt system by means of the trade lanes, I was stopped by another player character.This player was allied with a Kusari faction (again, I don't remember which one) and requested that I turn over my cargo to him. I was allied with BMM, and was told that due to that alliance, and the war between the Kusari and Bretonia, I was "fair game" for this kind of action. I attempted to talk my way out of it, but to no avail. I refused to turn my cargo over to the player, and was then attacked and destroyed.

It was at this point that I became upset over what had transpired, and this anger fueled my following actions. After I re-spawned in the system, I proceeded to exit it when I came across this Kusari player attacking another player. This is where my trouble begins. I asked the attacked player if they needed any help, and when they said yes, I proceeded to insert my ship in-between the attacker and attacked, forcing the attacker to shot at me or maneuver around me to take a shot. My first infraction was re-engaging another player in a system where PVP combat had already taken place between the two of us and not waiting the 4 hour time limit. My second infraction was not notifying the attacking Kusari player that I was going to engage them in combat (yes I know, saying engaging does not count). As my actions in intercepting fire from the attacker were not at all useful, I then decided that it would be best to spoil the players aim, and I did this by engaging in cruise mode and ramming my ship into them, hoping that I can force them off. Both of these actions are again, against the rules. Engaging in cruise during combat and ramming another player ship. I proceeded with the cruise and ram, but it really had no effect, and the attacking Kusari player destroyed the other player and them myself. After I re-spawned I was removed from the system and placed in Bastille.

I am not placing any blame on the Kusari player, as far I know, they did everything completely within the rules, and I was the rule breaking, childish aggressor. I would one again like to express my apologies for my actions, and humbly request that my ship be removed from Bastille.
