To all new members - welcome to EPCG.  This is the home of State of Emergency and our members play many different games.  Please take time to look over the forums and become familiar with the different sections.  General chat about SoE belongs in the SoE General chat, help belongs in Help section, etc.  DO NOT PM an admin to discuss your SoE server ban or questions about "How do I play this?"  All info can be found by taking 5 mins to use the search function in the upper right or going to the perspective forums and look for your answer.  Can't find the info?  Post your concern in the proper forums.  We have a public relations team if you must contact our staff, this is where you start.  If they cannot answer your question or address your concern, the PR member will forward it to the correct person. As to ban appeals - this is a community.  I can assure you that if your first post on the forums is a ban appeal, this does not look great.  It shows that your not here for the community and to meet new people, make friends, and contribute.  Your viewed as a fly through player and you won't make a great impression on the community when they see this.  Be active here and you'll find plenty of friendly gamers that play a variety of games.  Chances are, you'll find new friends to game with and enjoy your games that much more. EPCG has a solid admin team behind them and we do our best to address all issues in a timely manner.  With that said, please keep in mind that we have jobs, family, real life, and we'd like to enjoy our gaming time as well.  Please use the staff chain of command, starting with the Public Relations team.  You can save yourself from getting banned by reading and knowing our forum rules and our SoE server rules.  Failure to read this will ultimately lead to your perma-ban without question.  Another thing that will help you succeed in remaining here is common sense.  If you have none, you might as well leave now before the members chew you up and spit you out.  This is a mature group of players and respect is expected to the members and staff.  We work hard to bring you a one stop place for your PC gaming time!  

Devs don't have time to stop and assist every single person when a crash happens. Report it on the forums and do not tag them. It gets viewed daily and reported through our chain of custody. Please read below explaining why FiveM crashes are stellar. At this point, the devs have received authorization from Administration that if they enter their SDND channel or continue to bother them, they are authorized to remove you from the room up to but not excluding a ban from the TS which could lead to further action on your account. Respect their workspace. Thanks.

The American Heart Association helps fund research for new treatments, provides programs and services for survivors and their families.  The reason I'm putting this donation goal up is because my Son's school is having a fund raiser with a goal of $1,000 USD per kid.  He's been personally effected by losing someone with heart issues.  It's a long story, but I'll try my best to keep it short...   Their mother (my x-wife - we've both remarried to another now) had triplets with her husband.  No it wasn't planned nor expected.  Out of the three, two of them suffered from extreme medical issues since birth and out of those two, one passed away last year when he was only 7 months old, from heart issues and severe seizures.  The other one with medical issues, also has some heart issues and has suffered other medical issues that has had him in a children's hospital most of his life.   This affected my son and daughter that are too young to unfortunately have had to go through this at their age.  The two surviving babies are just over 1 years old now and my son is dead set on reaching this $1000 goal.  He's so willing to do so, that he asked me to give him all of his money out of his wallet to give to this cause.     I haven't told him that I'm going to attempt to raise this money through this great community of gamers.  I know this could be possible with the support that everyone shows towards their peers and the donations that come in to help keep everything going here.  I ran a donation for something my wife volunteered for and we raise something like $230 is just a 3-4 day period.  We can do this and I'm really hoping to be able to provide the full goal to him with your support.   I'm going to shut the donations down that come to the community to focus all funds into this fund raiser for the American Heart Association.
