Reason: For some reason that part of the railway between Carthage and Delta got unclaimed (it was claimed by ItsCrazyDave) and recently found out that it was claimed by this player, after exploring the arounds I couldnt find any reason for that claim to exist other than to cut the railway.

Claim owner: CalliBot01
Time the Claim owner has been offline: 17 days 9 hours

Reason: Same reason as stated above but this its even more aggresive since its clearly done to interrupt the rail and make people die with lava.

So, Myself, Espul, and Khanye were each handed 2-week tempbans for “staff impersonation”

But, after reviewing chat-logs, it is abundantly clear that Espul and I are not even nearly guilty of what we are being punished for. He wrote his own appeal so read that for info on his side. Here’s mine:

Basically, Khanye jokingly told some sailors he was an admin and was going to ban them. It escalated a bit before them realizing it was all just a joke and they seemed to have a laugh and move on.

The problem though is that, I didn’t even participate in the ordeal. I reacted to what was going on, saying, “lol” or “lmao” a couple of times, however this was the extent of what I said in chat about the whole situation, besides one detail:

I said one questionable thing: A sailor asked, “is anyone videoing this?” And I said “I am, so we make sure you get banned later.” In a clearly joking tone, which they recognized as such further down in chat.

I am hoping to prove here (with evidence as well) that I am not guilty of what happened and was not even involved, and thus am not deserving of this punishment.

I took the time to go and screenshot such chat-logs, and you can look for yourself too. Here they are:

So, I want to start by apologizing. I know and I admit that in the last month or so leading up to my ban, I was at times a very toxic player, and though an influential community member, to some players, I was not a good one.

I want to apologize to anyone whom I’ve offended, and I know that the things I said were in no way appropriate or called for, despite the reasoning and context unknown to most behind several of my offenses. What I had been doing as a player was awful, and I know that. I don’t want to be that type of person, and this abrupt ban has taught me- that is not who I want to be, EVER.

I am not going to argue the fair or justness of my ban, as I feel like that has already been argued enough. I’m writing this appeal because I want to own up to my mistakes and get one more chance at this community.

As many of you know I joined the server in early 2014, I played the server off and on, and granted I have had many hiccups along the way, I love this community.

To say the least, this server is quite literally one of the biggest parts of my life. I have met countless friends in this community who have helped me through hard times completely unrelated to the server, and I cannot thank them, this community, and the staff and owner, (for keeping the server running), enough for what they’ve done for me.

I know that a fair number of those reading this probably have negative opinions on me, whether I offended them, have raided them in game, or some other reason, please- take into account that I genuinely understand what I did, and that I do want to change. Losing one of the things I love most- this server, has shown me that I am not that person, and I never want to be that person again. And for those with neutral opinions on me, please consider the words I’ve said here, and know that I right now want nothing more than to grow as a person and be able to go back to doing what I love, and being part of the irreplaceable community I love most- Pirate Craft :pirate_flag:.

The things that I have said could have had  everlasting effects on my personal life. This is not just a ban, it is a major life lesson. I should never treat people the way that I did. I am so thankful for this lesson learned, and I hope that it doesn’t have to end as me losing one of my favorite parts of my life, and instead we can move on from my mistakes, so that I can begin to show that I am not just a better member of the PirateCraft community because of this, but a better person in my real life.

Finally, to Xeron and the staff team: I am so sorry, for the trouble which I’ve caused you. I never intended to be such a troublemaker, and being so suddenly cut off from such a massive part of my life has shown me why and how I need to improve myself as a person.

Best Regards,

WeGank / Zackbacon
