1. As stated in your 11 Kick messages you received, if you have a legitimate reason to use a VPN then state it, you haven’t given a reason why you use a VPN to mask your IP. http://bans.piratemc.com/index.php?action=viewplayer&player=Oktacraft&server=0
   
2. You were the ONLY player to be flagged for using a VPN when we were having the issues with “The Princess“
3. You tried 11 times from different VPNS to bypass
4. Your VPN location was the same as “The Princess”, I’m not talking same region, I’m talking the same VPN provider.
5. The Princess admitted they have a “Main Donator account” on the server
6. After following some of your transaction to other players and checking their IP’s, they all come form the same area/VPN.

Either way, if this was all a coincidence and im completely wrong out of the 4 years PirateCraft has been active you choose the worst time to mask your IP when we are in the midst of an attack by a bunch of loosers with nothing better to do.

Point 1 and point 3 alone are enough for me to be suspect of your actions, especially with the timing, even if you are not in any way related to the issues we have had with “The Princess”.

What the hell, is a VPN? Something to do with an ip I assume.

Media: I googled still confused

Guilty until proven innocent… no fun. No I’m not in any way associated with any of the troubles regardless of any implied coincidence. I have screenshots of being online at the same time as the hacker I took because he was swearing and thought it might be handy in banning him when no mod was on.

Please keep your attitude in check Oktacraft, as you were told in the Kick and in my Reply, give a reason why you use a VPN to hide your IP,

I was getting all sorts of different error messages and figured it was part of the server being stuffed while trying to log on before the ‘ban with the reason’ came up finally.

The error message was exactly what I screen shotted, its all automatic recorded into our punishment tracker.

Since the initial reaction im getting from this post if very defensive and not very calm its just backing up my ban.

Lots of people use popular VPN providers. A better question these days is why dont you use a VPN.

God the attitude on you. As stated you were the only one caught using a VPN during the attacks.

Possibly because all the people I interact with are in the same time zone/region. And the very few transactions in the last week (3 or 4?) me selling a few books that I’ve spent the last 3 weeks grinding. Should have used some hacking instead of a few hundred hours at a grinder and villy farm i guess. Still don’t have enough gear and spares to do any fun PVP….

Well if you feel this way, why are you asking for an unban? Again check your attitude.

Just another few slight pieces of evidence I discovered. Not completely helpful but mostly proves the point.

– oktacraft is NEVER online during the hacker attacks once he even joined 30 seconds after one of the hackers got banned. Might be a coincidence but still Pretty weird.

– I have talked twice to this hacker. Well more like “a kid that downloaded a bunch of hacks and a VPN to terrorize the server for personal gain” both times he talked in a “let’s change the subject” sort of way. Whenever I talked to him all he did was mention Other things to avoid giving away an actual identity and reflecting it on the person I thought it was. The few times I talked to okta he acted the same way. Trying to avoid a conversation that could get him into suspicion.

These as  I said might have no meaning at all but I just wanted to say what I thought might be happening. Now in an ironic twist I wanted to talk about  Something that people might have mixed opinions on. Core protection.

Now I know there are reasons the server doesn’t use it but I just wanted to go over the pros and cons of having it on here

pros

– you can find literally anything you need to know about what a player has done on the server. This could stop all kinds of behaviors.

– people glitching into bases would be able to be caught much easier

– the core protection could see how many diamonds someone has found recently. Which could help find x-rayers

now I know there is a rule on the server where staff won’t give items to players under any circumstances. I’m not going to suggest what the staff do with this rule if core protection is added because it is out of my control.

now here’s the downsides

– may cause lag

– server might have to crash or reboot to back up data

– might not be compatible with some plugins on the server

i thought this would be a good place to post my idea on how to deal with this problem and what I found on it. I’m not telling staff to do anything but merely suggesting an idea. I am perfectly ok if staff do not use this. Thank you for taking the time to read this if you do godsdead. I hope I was of help to you.
