Speaking my mind.

[RafaDK]

Good morning,

I just created this topic to clear something out and eventually answer some questions,

Basically this is my background,
I started of in this community back in 2009 as a devoted player, made my way to be acknowledged by other players and groups and eventually achieved such goal.

After years of a good attitude I swapped sides, and became one of the most horrific members with a poposterous lack of attitude, it ranged from everything, started off aa a Deathmatcher, to a public chat mayhem fanatic. Eventually led to me becoming a cyber-bully, I did all types of harassement regarding players, even through Roleplay, from putting jewish community members into Roleplayed Gas-Chambers to making racist comments in the public chat to see people set set /p on fire.

Stuff that got me banned multiple-times and unbanned multiple-times + 1.
Gandalf and some other high-ranking staff members gave me multiple chances to get my shit together and be what I was in the begin of my journey in Argonath.
I eventually got permanent banned and even community banned, and once again I've got more opportunities to regain and maintain an above avarage attitude; and as such an old player be seen as an example towards the newest members, yet, I'd gather them into my DM Squad and go around just making other people game experience miserable for my so called amusement.

Looking back to the past, I'm not going to say I regret it, I did what I did because I became something that lead me to solitude in the community, only left with friends that were like me and supported these attitudes, therefore other assholes.
The why I am saying that I do not regret it, is simply because we learn and grow from our mistakes and it's from your mistakes that your inner person can grow enhancing your personality.

Eventually I did not care about the people in the community anymore, and got banned once and for all.
So with that ban, I stopped coming to forums, joining Argonath-related servers/games and even speaking to people in 3rd party programs such as Skype.


Now with the release of RS5 I considered joining back into the game, putting back the attitude I had and looking foward to be set as an example.

So where I am going to with this topic?
Pretty simple.
I know there are a lot of players out there who still play and were victims of my immaturity, I can live with that, and I'm not asking for those to love me nor even be my friends.

But this is strictly directed to everyone in this community including the administrator team.
Whatever I did to you in the past, is over, so start to treat me as a fairly equal player; since in RS5 everyone got unbanned.
Look past the differences and get to know my present self.

To the players, stop pushing me in order to get me banned, displaying a bitch-like attitude to get me to lose it, is also seen as a provocative act.
Also stop seeing harm in everything that I post. Most of the times people report everything that I post leading to it to being removed when it's not even set to be a provocative measure against the person/group whose thread I'm posting on.

To the server staff, stop being so judgemental against me and using every single thing that I do has a way to get me straightly banned. I'm just a regular player with a bad past. So, if you even have reasons to punish me, do it based on what I did at the time or even an overall RS5. Instead of using the past as a background for the current 'rulebreak' that you have in your hands.

Everyone deserves a restart.

If it's something you're really going to follow through with, best of luck. Use it wisely.

I may have been a bit rough on you at first; please.. prove me wrong.

[LoHi]

I'm glad to see a post like this for a change. Hopefully the players will gain some insight, as I feel this kind of behavior has become the norm. Please stop going around in DM squads, roleplay instead. You don't need to kill to roleplay. <3

Yea sure, he made a long fabulous topic - but as Teddy also implied, I would like to be proven wrong about my perspetive of your behaviour.

Both IC/OOC.

Without guys like Rafael, Argonath would be a server with averaged people and average players, when it comes to roleplay, devotion, intelligence and ideals.

Once you get to really know him, you'll find out all those deep qualities about him.

We all have a bad temper sometimes, we all react in a way we shouldn't, but it takes a real man to accept those mistakes, and publicly announce it.

[TheGreasyChopper]

No matter what you did in the past as long as you have decided to prove you've changed you have my full support.

Everyone deserves a restart.

Everyone deserves a restart indeed, it's a shame not everyone's given one. 
Practice what you preach, both of us know what I'm talking about.

No idea what you're talking about. Send me a PM; I'd love to hear what you think.

[RafaDK]

Thanks guys, really happy to see all the feedback.

Hi Rafa. I've been one of the guys that you annoyed the hell out in-game.

Knowing that what you did is wrong is a good step, admitting it just show that you have balls.

Great to have you back as a good asset.
