Approved Warn for 6.2 | Definite Khan

[Dave Casso]

So I was playing earlier today, only for a few hours whilst the wife is at work and I was at DOC when I was captured as a hostage for the first time outside - I was in the situation for around 15 minutes when I noticed the time, it was 14:15, the time my autistic son his medication, and I check my blood sugar levels because of my diabetes, I had to prepare food for myself and get my son medicated and I asked to leave the situation which everyone told me would lead to be warned - an admin called William came to me and asked if I wanted to swap out the hostage role - I obviously said yes as this would lead me to able to go and do my incredibly important IRL jobs - But they've assumed I was just refusing to participate and I've been punished for Rule 6.2 which is a refusal of roleplay, which is not what I intended, but my sons and my own medical needs come far above staying involved in a video game for the sake of a situation - I feel I have been very unjustly punished as I merely asked for whatever solution would get me out of the situation fastest so I could complete my jobs IRL, this was my first ever hostage situation and I had a million people talking all around me which made it very hard to hear what was being said and by whom.

Overall I'm not massively fussed if I stay in the jail or not, it's just a game lmao. I just think it's a slightly pathetic attempt to punish someone for quite literally needing to go AFK. I've got 3 children myself, 2 of them have special needs and require attention at a moments notice and that can't always be helped - I imagine other players also have commitments that require them to pay a few minutes attention at a moments notice.

I personally think the rule needs to be tweaked if not removed, obvious logging off to avoid RP and refusal should stay, but what if my PC had crashed? RAGE takes a while to load on my machine - so would I be punished for a technical fault too?

Also I'm aware that I've only uploaded a screenshot of my jail sentence, if you'd like I can upload proof of my sons medical conditions and his specified medication and my own if it's of benefit to prove I had several legitimate reasons to go AFK

I warned him bcz he denied to continue RP which was wrong for others and an admin had to take initiative to be hostage. but if his reason is genuine Requesting higher admin to consider it and unwarn him and just keep the jail term as punishment.
Thank You

Jail term is up in 5 minutes - I can provide further proof of Genuine Medical reason to leave RP if needs be - situation was very unclear due to a million people all shouting different things at once

Thank you - does the punishment for the jailtime still stand? I was in there for a while and I felt rather unjustly so. No dramas if not, I'll be more vigilant regarding situations and time in the future
