Most of the reasons why I should be unbanned are up here^^, if you’d like to read it, please do so. Over the course of this appeal, I will be presenting new information to light that will surely change the outcome of my ban status. 

To reiterate my points from my previous appeal, I was caught up with the wrong people and wrong time, I was sort of manipulated into cheating by people who I had considered friends at the time. I made a conscious choice to play with a notorious friend group called P2W at the time, which led me to cheat, and then continue to inflate mine and their egos. While I am still friends with some of the members, I consider myself more distant now, and hope that I can distance myself from this era in the community. 

Basis of current appeal

My first appeal was not surface value. Behind the scenes, I had struck a deal with the managers at the time, Ozzy & Jake to spectate and catch other cheaters on the server, to work towards my own unban. The conditions at the time were to catch high profile cheaters, the higher profile cheaters that I catch, the quicker I can get unbanned. After weeks of spectating, I had caught multiple cheaters, including a very high profile staff member and faction leader. The ban of that player would have unbanned me immediately. Unfortunately and perhaps unluckily for me, I had various IRL factors that could not allow me to continue playing the server at the time, management changes had also played a role in the pause on my unban. My unban was inevitable, but due to factors that could not be controlled, I was kept banned. 

Further elaborating on my first point, what I am now is largely different from what I was back then. I humbly ask for forgiveness in what I’ve done to the server, the community and staff. I hope that my appeal will be taken into consideration, and that we can look past all the actions that were committed multiple years ago, the stuff that happened before 95% of the current player base had even played on the server. If allowed by the current executive team, I will gladly take a deal similar to one that Blooms had taken, where I would only participate in peacetime and RP scenarios. I will also like to create RP scenarios to further prove that I can help the server, and that I am not a liability towards the server and the community. My absence in wars would help prove the fact that I’m extremely low risk to cheat again, and that it would prove my willingness to help improve the community.

I’d like to thank you guys for reading, seriously. I do take all the feedback you guys have given me in previous appeals as it genuinely does help improve me.

+1. I'm going to keep this short.

I can confirm I was incredibly close to unbanning Krim, he put it many hours of work but due to unforseen circumstances it was not possible. I regret not unbanning him. In my opinion, the server would lose nothing by unbanning him as the chance of re-offending is so slim but it stands to gain a good quality player who now supposedly wants to engage in RP on the server.

I personally believe an unban with conditions would be beneficial for the server, at the end of the day that is what matters.

I won’t quote @Jake’s post but what he said is correct. Krimzin approached me asking if I’d entertain a deal similar to Pencil’s. Obviously I had involvement in his infraction so I told him I’m not comfortable handling that alone, so let’s bring in Jake. What Jake mentioned is true. I believe we both had positive experiences with krimzin and believed that he was no longer a threat but still had to earn his unban. We agreed that a successful case against a high profile member would result in his unban. Unfortunately the content didn’t provide enough to act but it’s impossible to deny that the effort was there. He reached out and was proactive in trying to prove that he wanted what’s best for the server. On top of that, believe me when I say that Jake and I’s terms were quite strict and restricting, even in the event he was unbanned.

On a personal note, I know Krim. He and I have known each other for going on 3.5 years. I’ve seen him at his peak, and seen him at his trough. Despite the people around him, he’s never allowed the majority to influence his behavior. He made a mistake, myself included. He’s someone I truly believe would be able to return and contribute to the server. The threat of a repeat offense is incredibly low with him and the possibility of him positively contributing to the server is actually quite high, contrary to this peers.

Accepted

You have been unbanned, however any further cheating ban may only be appealed solely on its validity.

Note 1: The 30-day rule does not apply as this appeal has been given an exception.

Note 2: No restrictions are being placed on you. You may play war, etc.
