Unix time stamp from HUD: 1568484639

Your characters name: Samuele Colonna

Other player(s) involved: 

Specific rule(s) broken:

Non-Roleplay (Combatlogging & stunt jumping)

• Actions that are unrealistic or promote poor quality roleplay are considered as non-roleplay.

• Examples of actions that are considered as non-roleplay:

• Cop Baiting - Provoking a reaction from emergency services without a realistic reason.

• Mercy Killing - Asking to be killed by a friend (Killing a friend falls under deathmatching).

• Unrealistic stunt jumping or the use of an expensive vehicle to ram into other vehicles.

Players who disconnect during roleplay must reconnect and inform other parties in order to resume roleplay. If you are unable to reconnect it may be excused after providing proof.

In a situation where a player gets away from an incident where they're being chased/pursued, they must wait 15 minutes before they can logout. Players should not instigate roleplay situations if they do not have time to play it through. 

How did the player break the rule(s)?

After starting a pursuit on the black video, the driver proceeded to use the "huge bump" as a ramp. The jump he took was definitely too high for a vehicle not to break in pieces so his engine stalled. At this point, as soon as I approached him, the player disconnected.
After waiting for 10 minutes I checked the discord EclipseRP server and nobody was talking about disconnecting, code 0, timing out, crash, police, etc..
I also checked the discord server again before making this report.

Evidence of rule breach:

Hello, and thank you for making this player report! @TheCactus

Player Meep_Elijah will receive 24 hours to provide his side of the story and explain the reasoning for his actions which can be seen in the provided evidence above. Why did you disconnect from the active roleplaying scenario at the very moment of the reporting party approaching you? Why did you utilize the dirt hill as a ramp to fly up in the air in an attempt to escape the reporting party? Do you feel as if this is acceptable roleplay? As the reported party does not have a forum account, he will be notified of this report in-game. 

Kind regards,

Dqniel

Hello, and thank you for remaining patient! As more than enough time has passed for the reported party to respond with his side of the story and explain the reasoning for his actions i have decided to conclude this report based on the provided evidence and statement given to us by the reporting party.

Player Meep_Elijah will receive a Non-Roleplay punishment for Combat Logging | Offense #1

Player Meep_Elijah will receive a Non-Roleplay punishment for Stunt Jumping | Offense #2

First and foremost, i would like to address the punishment of Non-Roleplay relating to Combat Logging and the reasoning behind it. In the provided evidence of this report, it can be seen that you crash and stall your vehicle in connection with the ongoing police pursuit you had with the reporting party. As you attempt to start the vehicle back up, the reporting party approaches you and blocks off your pathway before you ultimately disconnect from the server. As much as i would like to give all players the benefit of the doubt during these types of situations, it is far too convenient that you happened to disconnect at the very moment of you crashing and attempting to start your vehicle back up all while the reporting party was attempting to detain/arrest you. As outlined in the rulebook, cases of disconnecting from the server while in an active roleplaying scenario and being unable to reconnect may be excused if valid proof is submitted - however you have submitted no proof given your lack of response and as there is nothing in the provided evidence that would suggest you disconnecting from the server was accidental, i am instead led to believe that you disconnecting from the server was done in a malicious and purposeful way.

Secondly, i would like to address the punishment of Non-Roleplay relating to the Stunt Jumping and the reasoning behind it. This goes without saying as the rulebreak is incredibly blatant, but utilizing the hill as a form of ramp to go a great distance up in the air is not only extremely unrealistic but it is also not allowed as per our Non-Roleplay rules. I sincerely urge you to be more considerate of the way you conduct yourself while driving a vehicle.

Thank you for making this report! @TheCactus
