Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc):

I don't know what else I can include that wasn't included in my previous ban appeal, but I'll reiterate my situation.
I came back to CM a few months ago in June and was met with the sticky ban for multikeying. I thought this was odd since I have never any other account other than the one I play on right now, and I have no reason to make another account because I've never been banned on CM, only warned a few times for the occasional mishap. I started playing CM on an old laptop when I was a senior in high school back home and have never utilized a VPN. I joined up with the Marines and went to boot summer of 17, from June 11th to September 8th, where I came back to playing CM a few times on a new laptop I bought on boot leave/recruiter's assistance. I then went to Camp Pendleton, SOI, for infantry training with ITB. I don't believe I played CM during this time, but I did have my laptop with me. After completing infantry training as a rifleman, I got orders to 29 Palms where I currently am stationed. I use a wifi hotspot provider called Boingo, so I have no set modem or router. I can jump from hotspot to hotspot depending on where I am on base although the hotspots are mostly around the different barracks scattered around on base. I was able to play CM in my original barracks until I moved to another barracks, where I was met with the sticky ban for multikeying. I've posted a previous ban appeal which was denied on suspicion of ban evading. The thing is, I've never been banned on my MrMister34 key until I was hit with the stickyban. I honestly don't know what else to say, I don't have any other keys and I don't recognize any of the other keys mentioned in my previous ban appeal. Do I need proof that I live in the barracks in 29 Palms or that I'm enlisted? Do I need to prove I have a Boingo account that uses my MAC address to connect to the hotspot? Because I don't have a clue what else I can post to prove that this is a false ban.

Reminded not to bring spare supplies (Smartgun powerpack) down on first deployment. | Tue, February 28th of 2017

So, in all honesty, I believe that you are speaking the truth, and any investigation will show same results with you flagged against someone else.

I'm willing to support this on probation to see your 'behaviours' but it will depend on our higher ups.

If your appeal is denied, you cannot post another appeal for 30 days.

You opened this like 9-10 days after your last one was denied and It's still not even a month later as of today. I'll cut you some slack and you can make a new appeal sometime in October but this is denied.

Resolved - Denied; didn't wait 30 days after last appeal.

Actually, I'll let you off easy today and let this stay open. If you're sure this isn't a VPN issue, I'll need the name ISP you're using right now.

Whenever you get a chance, respond to the question above. This message is to send a notification that this case has been reopened.

[Grimcad]

I deleted your post. Staff can still see it, but not everyone needs to see that information of yours.

[Emeraldblood]

When you created this thread, specifically the first post, were you using a VPN, public WiFi, or anything at all? The IP used is liked to multiple other forum accounts that are also under a permaban right now.

[DeusVult]

No VPNs, when I first created this account I made this at home with my XFINITY one. This is my only forum account and MrMister34 is my only key.

Back on your first appeal, I did some digging that linked you with another user on the forums who had the same IP.

Like you, I'm also working for the military and use Boingo WIFI. So, I highly doubt using Boingo would cause issues.

When searching for the reason for your ban from the first appeal; I found the other user also logged onto the server from a Japanese military base owned by the US. Back in 2015.

As it was highly unlikely that both of you would both of being in the military, have the same IPs at one point, and making appeals around the same time.

I'd like your input on this as at the time it put multiple red flags up for me.

[DeusVult]

I'm not sure why this would happen, I was still in high school back in 2015 and didn't even know BYOND was a thing. I didn't know anyone in the military in Japan at the time either. Looking at my account, I created it on January 30th of 2017.

[Lumdor]

The only way I could see it is that person back in 2015 PCS'd from Japan to 29 Palms and somehow you both play SS13, get onto our server at around the same, and both somehow had the same IP at one point.

Edit:

To add onto this Drover67, MrMister34 (You), and Visser all three have shared the same IP at one point. At one point MrMister34 (You) and Drover67 were playing on the server at the same time.

Visser is linked to all of this as his forum account was registered on the same IP the other two accounts played on the server with.

Now I don't know about you but this looks like either these are your buddies who were hit by the super ban, somehow these other two people play SS13 CM in the same exact area and you all have shared the same IP at one point, or they are all of your accounts.

Though I will add that you and Drover67 share different CIDs, so the first option is more likely, but that still does not explain why Visser registered on the forums with the same IP you two shared.

[DeusVult]

I'm not sure why anyone would want to PCS to 29 Palms, but other than that, if that is the case I have no clue how that is all possible. It sounds like a very big coincidence.

[Emeraldblood]

Right, so multiple people have been making appeals regarding false bans and you're all loosely tied together. Frankly, I couldn't find anything that warrants keeping you held up forever so I'm just going to put down an exception and ask you stay out of trouble.

Resolved - Lifted; Exception made for the ckey MrMister34.
