Re: Banned for using alternative accounts and possibly xrayi
Exactly. I was thinking about the win.
You're only regret is you got caught using it.
You say I regret getting caught, of course I do. Isn't that why everyone appeals? Everyone doesn't regret what they do, they regret having to go through the consequences. But during the act, no. They don't regret it until they are caught, and its then which causes people to appeal and apologize. You don't see people apologizing because they did something wrong when they weren't caught. If they weren’t caught they wouldn't have stopped what they were doing, whether it was abuse, hacking, or being a plain annoyance. The reason I owned up then and not the beginning is because I looked through the ban appeals.
Lolnet values honesty and owning up for your mistakes
I understand that. I saw that almost all successful ban appeals end with the banned player owning up and taking his punishment, and that's why I wrote out my very hypocritical, very ironic message.
I know you say the logs state that I mined > 2 stacks of diamonds, and that James137137 said he could recreate my mine path, and this is very conclusive evidence, but I would welcome any mod to look through my items, because despite what the logs say, I simply do not have 2 stacks of diamonds.
If I hadn't read through previous ban appeals and see that honesty wins out, I would have followed this point, because it shows a small flaw in the logs system, which, if I followed, could show flaw in the system which shows me as guilty and have the punishment removed (if I was extremely lucky). Does this not show that I have seen Lolnet values honesty? Again, this is just another plea which you will see as me only being 'regretful' and 'sorry' because I got caught. But I say again that you do not see people posting apologies about what they haven't been caught for. But even after that message you have criticized me for the one thing you have said Lolnet values; being honest. Although I understand as I did not own up in the first place. But in that message, everything I said was truthful, and you have ignored my major points and disregarded ones you don't believe due to a stereo-typical outlook to those who use hacked clients.
My basic use for Nodus is freecam, not to look into other people’s bases or anything which most people use freecam for, but to see my own base
This is true, and it directly relates to the following quote;
if I was a consistent user of exploits, why is my faction so weak? The only wealth I have is in building, and to which extent is because I'm good with lava.
You claim this is BS. How is it BS? There is no proof that I use freecam to exploit or raid, as my faction is so much weaker than it would be if i used the client for what it is widely expected to be used for. I understand why you would expect me to use this to exploit and why you would expect this statement to be untrue, as I have lied on this appeal once, what is to say I won't lie again? But the fact is that there is nothing which shows I have used this exploit to raid or in a way which would harm fellow players, and i know that i haven't as i have not taken part in a raid during my return to Lolnet.
I understand that I need to be punished, but I am asking for my ban to be reduced from a permanent ban to a temporary one as this is my first offense in this matter
Almost all people in similar positions to me (use of hacked clients/x-ray) have temporary bans of about 3-4 months or similar. A friend of mine who goes by the IGN of Onete was banned for X-raying in the past for only 7 days by James137137. I am not trying to get off Scott free, I’m only asking for a fair punishment and understanding.
You are also ignoring these points. I am not asking to be let off, I am asking for a fair punishment and an unbiased look on my situation. I know lying makes any outlook on what I say a skeptical one, but a permanent ban for something which is smaller than others exploits who have been given a temporary ban does not seem fair to me.
I am sorry for using hacks, but I feel that my ban time is unfair and only permanent due to the major part of my original ban; Boosting power with alternative accounts. In other circumstances, I would accept my permanent ban as in the rules it says that using a hacked client is grounds for a permanent ban, yet I have seen many ban appeals for use of hacked clients in which people are appealing to have there 3-4 month ban removed or reduced, yet I have been given a permanent ban for an offense which is actually smaller than offenses seen in these ban appeals.
