The tempban wasn’t just for the glitching, it was consistently lying and being a pain in the ass about it. Plus you had just been warned the previous week for it. You wasted my time, I wasted yours.

Emiel then gave us some pretty serious information that you had admitted to him to being behind some bot attacks the previous year or something (more on this later). Rumour had it that you were behind some attacks back in November the previous year – this wasn’t new information, people were already speculating it back then. You have a good knowledge of minecraft, PCs, and VPNs, it would be child’s play for you to do this.Obviously Emiel coming forward with such things was quite a big deal. You and him had been close friends for a long time, and apparently you had told him about this last year. He kept his head low as he was your friend – then he was promoted, and ran into a shitty situation: Do I tell staff and get yelled at and break our friendship, or keep it to myself and risk worse… He eventually came to us and we dealt with him separately. Gods and I take accusations like these very seriously, so of course Emiel was pressured to spill the beans – this wasn’t something he could just come up with on the spot. With what he provided, and considering your track record, nasty rumours of you using hacks (yes, i know all pvpers have these), already being banned for xray, etc etc, we had a staff vote. Which was in overwhelming majority for you to be perm banned again – you were causing us too much trouble, these accusations were nothing to sneeze at. We wanted you out.

This is the same person responsible for multiple bot attacks that would follow in coming months, leading to crash the server as you will all remember. We have noted a distinct pattern of when this person attacks the server, and when bloated gets in touch with us again – months of inactivity and then within a day of each other both return. Anyways.
<li style=”box-sizing: border-box; background: 0px 0px; margin: 0px; list-style: disc;”><span style=”box-sizing: border-box;”>25/07/19 – You start playing the victim card on emiel to get unbanned</span><br style=”box-sizing: border-box;” />You joined a few days prior with your A_cl0ne account to bypass your ban, and check up on the server. Obviously you lied to us again about that – I had someone message you and you replied with “what? I just bought this account from someone!”.Anyway, you decide to go back to your old pal emiel and ask him to play along in your little game. You want to be unbanned and play again, and start twisting your words as you do so many times with me, and others, to try and get him <em style=”box-sizing: border-box;”>of all people, to help you. You wanted your stuff transferred to Melon – he’s in on it, as are several others. And I, on behalf of emiel, am also in on it. You ask him to install some shady command blocker that’s stupid (<em style=”box-sizing: border-box;”>he doesn’t obviously), your main account is unbanned, you log on, and “Oh no! You’re in the locker and can’t /permissiontrust! What do I do now..?”Well you come on with another alt the next day, pretending to be a “Shockerboy youtube fan” (honestly it cracked me up when I read it), and this new “deckhand” wanted to “visit the locker like in episode 7 of the lets play to ‘experience it’”. I knew it was you, try better next time lol. Anyways, I sent you there, you got digging so you could transfer your sand to your main account, leave the locker, go to survival, trust the people you need, and be gone.

He is very talkative (talks just like you, y’know) and insists staff contact him about an ‘urgent matter’ or else he will crash the server. Spoilers: the server gets crashed a few days later by several more waves. Attacks continue for a solid week, almost every day for 2+ hours.
<li style=”box-sizing: border-box; background: 0px 0px; margin: 0px; list-style: disc;”><span style=”box-sizing: border-box;”>21/9/19</span> – Robot contacts lazy directly, your name, among others, is mentioned, ‘things happen’. Apparently you have been in touch with Robot and endorsed their attacks… that is, if you aren’t the same person… but who knows. Up until now both of your patterns have been very very similar. This serious mess is dealt with a few days later, ending the bot attacks until… well we get another one tonight from a different person conveniently. <em style=”box-sizing: border-box;”>No seriously, out of the blue, a new bot person, no idea.

Its also pretty clear that several of your ‘punishments’ were joke punishments (Bans: #1, #3, #4, Mutes: #5). 2017

–/–/18 – Chat spam, irritating Gods and PythonAce You came back and misbehaved in chat. You said yourself you let slip a sarcastic comment towards Gods that got you the 2 hour ban. You received a total of 5 mutes (generally for being rude and disrespectful to staff), and 3 autobans for chatspam. However, the chat spam would be something you would continue to do up until you were finally banned in June 2019 – we asked you to stop, I know old habits die hard, but it was really obnoxious comprende?

2019 And it all kicks off here.

 

16/03/19 – Muted by me for being rude. You came back to be rude towards staff, as usual. Argued with me about it, as usual… or in other words ‘talk your way out of it’.

23/03/19 – Warned for abuse of chatsystem to bypass pvp We saw you do it multiple times, we had reports of you doing it. Spam chat enough, it thinks you’re spamming and kicks you. PvP manager doesn’t realize you’ve been kicked until its too late, and you essentially bypass pvp logging. You knew what you were doing.

02/05/19 – Warned for glitching through doors Lazy found you behind an iron door magically. At least this time you didn’t argue about it.

08/05/19 – 24h Mute for your excessive chat spam. Again.

23/05/19 – Tempban 2 weeks for glitching, lying to staff, arguing with me about it for hours We found you and Melon had emptied Creeper’s vault. Melon admitted it, returned the items, knew he fucked up and took the warning. You consistently denied any sort of involvement categorically – first you weren’t there at all with him, then you were, then you were messing around and he glitched, then you helped him but didn’t go inside, then you went inside… we went at this for a good 2 hours. The tempban wasn’t just for the glitching, it was consistently lying and being a pain in the ass about it. Plus you had just been warned the previous week for it. You wasted my time, I wasted yours.

03/06/19 – Tempbanned (and later banned) for a variety of things Gods found your netherportal at warp shops to direct players to your own shop in the nether – which while clever, was manipulation of the shop system – which overlapped with the original punishment (thus some people think you were banned purely for doing the shop thing – you weren’t).Shortly after you returned from your ban, you had some er… ‘hiccups’ with emiel in-game. Emiel then gave us some pretty serious information that you had admitted to him to being behind some bot attacks the previous year or something (more on this later). Rumour had it that you were behind some attacks back in November the previous year – this wasn’t new information, people were already speculating it back then. You have a good knowledge of minecraft, PCs, and VPNs, it would be child’s play for you to do this.Obviously Emiel coming forward with such things was quite a big deal. You and him had been close friends for a long time, and apparently you had told him about this last year. He kept his head low as he was your friend – then he was promoted, and ran into a shitty situation: Do I tell staff and get yelled at and break our friendship, or keep it to myself and risk worse… He eventually came to us and we dealt with him separately. Gods and I take accusations like these very seriously, so of course Emiel was pressured to spill the beans – this wasn’t something he could just come up with on the spot. With what he provided, and considering your track record, nasty rumours of you using hacks (yes, i know all pvpers have these), already being banned for xray, etc etc, we had a staff vote. Which was in overwhelming majority for you to be perm banned again – you were causing us too much trouble, these accusations were nothing to sneeze at. We wanted you out.

24/06/19 – First bot attack that can be linked to a discord player named ‘Robot’. This is the same person responsible for multiple bot attacks that would follow in coming months, leading to crash the server as you will all remember. We have noted a distinct pattern of when this person attacks the server, and when bloated gets in touch with us again – months of inactivity and then within a day of each other both return. Anyways.

25/07/19 – You start playing the victim card on emiel to get unbanned You joined a few days prior with your A_cl0ne account to bypass your ban, and check up on the server. Obviously you lied to us again about that – I had someone message you and you replied with “what? I just bought this account from someone!”.Anyway, you decide to go back to your old pal emiel and ask him to play along in your little game. You want to be unbanned and play again, and start twisting your words as you do so many times with me, and others, to try and get him of all people, to help you. You wanted your stuff transferred to Melon – he’s in on it, as are several others. And I, on behalf of emiel, am also in on it. You ask him to install some shady command blocker that’s stupid (he doesn’t obviously), your main account is unbanned, you log on, and “Oh no! You’re in the locker and can’t /permissiontrust! What do I do now..?”Well you come on with another alt the next day, pretending to be a “Shockerboy youtube fan” (honestly it cracked me up when I read it), and this new “deckhand” wanted to “visit the locker like in episode 7 of the lets play to ‘experience it’”. I knew it was you, try better next time lol. Anyways, I sent you there, you got digging so you could transfer your sand to your main account, leave the locker, go to survival, trust the people you need, and be gone. Couple days later I head to your base, admin claim it as I knew well in advance of what you were planning, and managed to catch you off-guard when emiel re-banned you with a different command, when it seems you forgot to turn on your VPN and suddenly all your accounts showed up with the same bloatedhippo IP address… all banned now, of course. But hey I got you to dig sand for 4 hours for nothing.

19-28/08/19 – We get most of the bot attacks now, all from the same player (bar one that was advertising a shitty server), with the leader ‘wanting to speak to the owner’. The bot owner tried their hardest to make life miserable for the people on here, but nevertheless engaged chat to try and pressure our staff to fix the issue and talk with the bot person. Pretty damn manipulative.

29/8/19 – You contact Rommerit about wanting to help VER with yet another alt account.

9/9/19 – More bot attacks.

10/9/19 – KingKaiser/Rome discord drama. Mystic, Drifting, all KingKaisers banned or tempbanned (this is relevant). We get a bot attack later that evening.

11/9/19 – The bot leader, ‘Robot’, introduces himself for the first time properly. He is very talkative (talks just like you, y’know) and insists staff contact him about an ‘urgent matter’ or else he will crash the server. Spoilers: the server gets crashed a few days later by several more waves. Attacks continue for a solid week, almost every day for 2+ hours.

21/9/19 – Robot contacts lazy directly, your name, among others, is mentioned, ‘things happen’. Apparently you have been in touch with Robot and endorsed their attacks… that is, if you aren’t the same person… but who knows. Up until now both of your patterns have been very very similar. This serious mess is dealt with a few days later, ending the bot attacks until… well we get another one tonight from a different person conveniently. No seriously, out of the blue, a new bot person, no idea.

—————————————————————————- Look, I understand your anger and frustration. You feel it was unjustified, you feel innocent, you want that chance to come back. We have people that play that have arguably more punishments… but you were given a second chance already, and you blew it. Your fishy business with the accusations, and later trying to manipulate Emiel into unbanning you… kind of put the nail in the coffin. We’ve got toxic players, we’ve got rule breakers, but you take it to a new level with targeting Emiel and this bot shit, assuming there is some weight behind it.

 

If you truly want the best for him, don’t message him anymore. He’s sick and tired of you and the anxiety you have given him – he’s going through very tough times, he doesn’t want to speak to you anymore. On the topic of that, do you have any idea what stress you have caused him? I’m not saying this to make him look like the victim – Emiel fucked up big time, he knows that, and he’s not asked me to vouch for him here because I’m a friend. I and many others were genuinely very concerned for his mental health. We dealt with Emiel separately, but you were constantly messaging him during your ban, manipulating him, targeting him as you knew he is that kind of person who might have a heart for you – you knew full well he could get himself banned for this. Did you not once think to yourself “hmm, I’ve kind of been a cunt to him, perhaps I should leave him alone”. But its not your fault is it? No, you’re just trying to have your items transferred. Its what you do. Its what you have always done – you talk your way out of things and manipulate people. You tried doing it with me and the glitching. You did it with Emiel. You tried doing it with all your other punishments. Sometimes, and this is a life lesson not just for minecraft, its better to shut your mouth rather than being all smart about things. I’m pretty sure this feud between you and the server staff wouldn’t be half as bad if you just shut it sometimes. Hell I’d even say one of the main issues we had with you was trying to out-smart and talk your way out of things c o n s t a n t l y. ————————————————————————————– I am aware of the hate train that gathers around controversial people of our community – an unpopular player does something fishy and suddenly “they need to be banned because they did X and Y“. We know. Yes, there is a chance that all of this bot attack stuff didn’t happen, all these events and evidence we have, is all just one big coincidence – set in motion by individuals who have a bone to pick with you. But what do you expect us to do? Forget about it all? What do you think would happen if we let you return; everything goes back to the good ol’ days? No. The damage has been done, the evidence we have, the punishment tracker we have, it all speaks a different story. Its all going to happen all over again – you’ll get your loyal followers, some small issue will occur, you will make a big deal of it when staff are inevitably dragged in = drama. It’ll just end in the same old mess – you’ll probably get punished for what you see as a petty crime because you tried being smart about it, and before long we’ll just end up banning you again. Huzzah. Community is divided, staff are being pulled into drama of controversial players, its literally the worst scenario. Wait a month and we start getting messages of how sorry you are, but not before you pop on with more alts inbetween to bypass your punishment. Well sorry buddy, its not going to repeat. This ends here. You aren’t coming back, you won’t come back. Whether or not some of your previous punishments were seen as harsh, what you have done since and the evidence we have suggest you have indeed not become more responsible for your actions – because you never were responsible for the shit you did in the first place. Please go find a different community to harass and divide – you’ve done your fair share of damage here already.

 

Denied and closed.

 

We don’t want apologies, and we don’t want your money for an unban, take it elsewhere. Do not message me or other staff about this. You’ve blown your chances, we’re all sick and tired to death. Use this time wisely and find a new community, start afresh, make new friends online. I hope you can find a community who will tolerate you and your bullshit.

 

Farewell, good luck, and goodbye.

Aight, so what you just wrote pisses me off not gonna lie, but I’m going to stay calm. “Constantly harassing” “attacking daily”. I do not target emiel outside of killing him, and my profile picture was the first time anything happened besides me raiding him. I’ve killed emiel maybe four times, not counting my early days when I didn’t know him and just raided whoever. I’ve realized my mistake of setting it as my PFP and sincerely apologized. The “constantly harassing” part. Really Decsain. I mean honestly what the fuck. You get at me every opportunity you get in chat, this ain’t a one sided thing by any means. The fact I raid you and you don’t raid me doesn’t mean I’m harassing you and your completely innocent, you just don’t take to the pvp side of it. I admit, I’ve started numerous arguments with you and ftb in chat, but you’ve provoked them just as much. Onto the topic of the sword name, the sword was confiscated by bazurka because he said it was sending a message of going against staff decision by having it say “unban bloatedhippo”. I argued this as that was not the reason I used the sword, I used it as it was a joke, as when I told minister to name it unban bloatedhippo he named it “unabn boted hipow”. This was quite a while ago, and hadn’t had a problem with the sword before. I then renamed it to “Hippo’s Teeth” as it was no longer sending a message that goes against staff decision, which is why it was confiscated in the first place. Onto the fact where you say I’ve never apologized to either of you. No, I haven’t, I have no reason to. I have apologized for the PFP as I went too far with this and it was wrong to do so. I will not apologize for my previous actions on the server. Neither of you have been good to me, especially decsain. If you get butthurt after dying and want to start shit in chat, don’t go cry to staff about being harassed. You’ve been a complete asshole, not saying I’m any better, but I have plenty of reasons to do the things I do. The PFP took it too far, but I will stand for what I’ve done before. You start shit just as much as I do, you are not being “harassed” when you start the argument. I do not attack emiel through chat, as he doesn’t do much except the occasional snarky comment. Only you Decsain. I’ll wrap it up by mentioning where you said “bypassing ignore”. When? Like I don’t think that’s ever happened lol. i don’t know if this posted twice it’s not showing up for me

I find this funny because you’re trying to be unbanned and starting a flame war as if it will help. Your unrestrained toxicity portrayed evermore through this post isn’t welcome whatsoever.

Howdy! As much as I wish that I could believe you when you say that you’re sorry I find it difficult to do so. You have harassed Emiel and I constantly for a long time, even being as bold to cuss me out in chat and tell me that I am not wanted on pmc in front of staff as you ignored their warnings to stop simply because I asked what I had ever done to you. You attacked Emiel and Atlantaa daily because bloatedhippo told you to and made it nearly impossible for them to play. Changing your profile picture to images of me and Emiel photoshopped as Hitler is neither funny or okay in any manner, especially to me because I was raised in Jewish schooling. And on top of all that, there is currently so much anti semitisim in the world right now that it should be in no way appropriate to joke about it, you may not care that people shoot up mosks and Jewish temples but other people do, its a sensitive topic that is wildly inappropriate to joke about as you did. This wasn’t just one incident, its many, you argued with staff over a sword name for over an hour, you have spent time with your friends harassing people in chat and have tried many ways to bypass ignore when people get sick and tired of listening to you; including when Bazurka made you change your sword name you changed it to the same thing with different spelling. You have a tendency to apologize for things and go right back to doing the same thing the next day. But these are just a few events out of many, I don’t think you considered the idea that the staff are probably tired of how comfortable you’ve gotten with bending rules and arguing with them, you harassed a staff member once for deciding to locker a deckhand who was being vulgar in chat after warns and mutes and told the staff member that you were just worried that the deckhand would quit but then the same day you turn around and make three other people quit; you don’t even stick to what you say when arguing with the staff, you just challenge their decisions no matter what. You have constantly harassed both Emiel and I, as well as Emiel’s friends, and made it miserable for them to play simply because your banned buddy bloated got banned from a report Emiel gave staff, retaliating against someone who reported you or your friends is just a crappy thing to do and you never apologized to him about it nor did you care. If even staff are made to be afraid to punish players that will have their friends harass them for the punishment, then where does that leave pmc? And I honestly don’t think you have had enough time to reflect, if you ever do reflect, on all of your behavior because you keep doing it again and again after you apologize.

Now to the main event, your appeal.

We wanted you to make an appeal publicly, as we were bored of denying your appeals via discord – and quite frankly other staff are fed up with you messaging them about it. Its here for everyone to see now, and FYI you don’t need to ask us to make a public appeal – you can do that anytime anywhere; whether it be in the US, Canada, France, or wherever else you had your VPNs registered.

—————————————————————————–

I think a chronological order is best, so from the start. Its also pretty clear that several of your ‘punishments’ were joke punishments (Bans: #1, #3, #4, Mutes: #5).

2017

• 28/04/17 – Banned for Xray
  You were banned for suspected Xray, and a video surfaced of you using killaura on a different server. While I wasn’t there to check for Xray, something was fishy so we denied your first appeal. Your second appeal in April 2018 was accepted, and you got your second chance. You also logged on with your A_cl0ne account and another account to bypass your ban a few times if I remember correctly.
• 26/10/17 – Warned for Advertising
  You chose to start advertising your own server to your crew members and others in /msg. We know of other people’s involvement of this, and while what you do in your server is none of our business, we don’t appreciate you advertising it. You just don’t do this – you don’t get invited to a party and start talking about how good your party is going to be. This one’s on Gods – his server his rules, we have 0 tolerance for this kind of advertising.

2018

• –/–/18 – Chat spam, irritating Gods and PythonAce
  You came back and misbehaved in chat. You said yourself you let slip a sarcastic comment towards Gods that got you the 2 hour ban. You received a total of 5 mutes (generally for being rude and disrespectful to staff), and 3 autobans for chatspam. However, the chat spam would be something you would continue to do up until you were finally banned in June 2019 – we asked you to stop,
  I know old habits die hard,
  but it
  was
  really
  obnoxious
  comprende?

2019

And it all kicks off here.

• 16/03/19 – Muted by me for being rude.
  You came back to be rude towards staff, as usual. Argued with me about it, as usual… or in other words ‘talk your way out of it’.
• 23/03/19 – Warned for abuse of chatsystem to bypass pvp
  We saw you do it multiple times, we had reports of you doing it. Spam chat enough, it thinks you’re spamming and kicks you. PvP manager doesn’t realize you’ve been kicked until its too late, and you essentially bypass pvp logging. You knew what you were doing.
• 02/05/19 – Warned for glitching through doors
  Lazy found you behind an iron door magically. At least this time you didn’t argue about it.
• 08/05/19 – 24h Mute for your excessive chat spam. Again.
• 23/05/19 – Tempban 2 weeks for glitching, lying to staff, arguing with me about it for hours
  We found you and Melon had emptied Creeper’s vault. Melon admitted it, returned the items, knew he fucked up and took the warning. You consistently denied any sort of involvement categorically – first you weren’t there at all with him, then you were, then you were messing around and he glitched, then you helped him but didn’t go inside, then you went inside… we went at this for a good 2 hours.

I also heard about a outcry in game for me to be unbanned players are going around naming sword unban bloatedhippo and forming this agressive group around this.

^ This. It makes it less likely that we will actually unban a player, as their name will have been used in an obnoxious manner beforehand. Don’t do it (if you are), it doesn’t help them, and it certainly doesn’t help you. How would you like it if every morning some guy was waving a sign outside your door saying “Subscribe to Pewdiepie”, its annoying, and after a while it gets obnoxious and you will start to loathe them.
