I became friends with Bloated about a month before he was banned after he raided me, then showed me how he got in so I could fix my base (for free).  I stayed close with him after his ban and I think he’s become a more mature player.  I think how he and I became friends represents the best of PMC, both in the spirit of raiding, and helping new players succeed.  That was before his ban. I know (and saw) how he broke rules when he was on before and it was basically the actions of a bratty child (no offense bloated, but you know its true lol), but like he said, he never meant anything outright malicious towards the server.  In his time away I’ve still played minecraft with him and I really do believe he’s matured.  He showed he can be a supportive part of the community before, and now I think he can be mature part of the community as well.
