I understand this thread may be removed, but for all who see it, I wish you good fortune and luck in life.

At this point in time I am making my final amends with players and desciribing the events and players that had helped me through the server. I am not angry, not confused, but excited for my ban. It will allow me to focus on the larger, more important parts of life. Soon I'll be off to college, soon I'll have a job, soon I would have quit anyways. From the first time I logged into the reset server, I had an ambition, to become successful, and I did. I may have not done it in the traditional way, mining, jobs, but I completed my goal. I knew I was going to be banned, I don't regret my actions - the only regret I have is not hiding it better.

Here's a timeline for all of you, or if you're like most people - you came because I tagged you down at the bottom.

November 12th, 2012
The first time I pressed on the big multiplayer button, and joined the server, after a friend recommended it to me. I was new at Minecraft, and tried doing the tree parkour, as it was almost Christmas. I failed, and eventually went into the wild. I eventually went into towns, and got invited to Caemlyn by a player named tylerwest2009. After some time, he promoted me to the highest rank of assistant, and I did well at it. I helped town members, players, everyone who needed help. I owned a two plot brick house. Everything I wanted I had, and I was satisfied. One Tuesday (yes - I do remember it being Tuesday) a player was advertising his shop, I went to his town spawn to find it to be made out of TNT, and as most of everyone would do, blow it up. I got permed.

February 1st, 2014.
I'm not quite sure what circumstances led me up to rejoining the server, yet I did. I was amazed at how I was unbanned, and was wondering where my god armor and tools went. After a while of figuring out a reset occured, I downloaded xray. I was on URabiguglyloser account at that time. AlexAnder90123 and I xrayed some spawners, but was soon banned by Quaddy. Instead of appealing, I made the insidious move of ban evading - at that time I did not know it - but MattIsAPerson was born, my new main account. I was quite smart, not admitting who I was or where I came from, I was never caught. I bought premium, supreme, and eventually ultimate. I diced, made millions, and bought an ultimate account from a player named I_Hear_A_Squach for 15,000,000 meebles. I diced my way back to the top, nearing a tops of 24 million meebles. At that time, the richest player on the server, had set the precedent of cactus farms being the main source of money. I built myself one, but not in time for the nerfs of the shop. I built a sugarcane farm, not for profit, for fun. After some time I collect heads (and set me on that path) for a long while. I made around 100,000 daily from CTF, I was content. Next was beta, a new towny world. I claimed and sold some front plots. Now let's get onto the exciting part of this tale.

After quitting for a good time, I made another alpha town. A player named Spider_Strike, who I'd known for around 2 years then, invited me to join his town. That's where I also met Krazycat600 - at the time known as PlatonicAscend. We eventually became friends, and build two huge witch farms. We made millions, Pseudo was the brains and I was the bank of the 'operation'. Now after that, Gamma opened. I did some stuff here and there, nothing incredible. I get banned for changing my town or nation's name. I appeal, get accepted, and make another town. A week later, with 1,000,000 meebles Gamma was reset.

In skype, Spider_strike, Pseudo, Kiara, Metr0n0me, and _ImaCutYou plan out our approach to gamma. We decided to play on the very unlegit route - hacking/xraying, and the big one, duping! - I wouldn't personally call it duping. It was quite simple in fact. Here's why my forums account was most likely banned. I 'duped' quite a lot;
64 of each spawn egg (640k per stack)
64 ender crystals (11k each)
256 wither skulls (7.5k each)
Every single item in the shop I had stacks of.
I bought 9 stacks of diamond blocks, totaling nearly 3 million meebles.
I bought 50 shulker boxes 20k each.
I bought god armor, tools, swords, and bows for outrageous prices.

I laundered meebles through about every player you can think of.

One day, we can "finally" afford a nation, so I make one. Soon after, we have 1,300,000 in the town bank. I didn't do it, but admins caught on. On Venenate, I see my shulker box and chests opening and closing, most likely from xt3kx. Good job on him. I'm banned soon after, along with everyone else except Pseudo.

I'm going to tag a few people here, since people usually do it. Every player here changed my experience on the server for better or worst. Props to you all.

@PseudoGod - Extremely down to earth, smart guy. He made me a millionaire on every towny server here. You are helpful, kind, and you aren't afraid to speak your mind. You tried benefiting the server for the better, but were walled out. Have fun on your remaining time on MeepCraft

@Spider_strike - I never memorized your new name. You are easily one of the funniest, dedicated, smart players I've known. I've come to trust you over the years, and you led me down a path most people wouldn't want to be apart of. I did. You didn't let the server overcome your life, you have a lot of control, and easily one of the smartest players on the server. Also, your like skydoesminecraft.

@minetifa - Most chilled person I've ever come to known. We met in Kitpvp if I remember correctly. You trusted me, and I trusted you, you aren't afraid to speak your mind, you were awesome to talk to in game and on skype. Stay banned my friend.

@Kiara - You got me banned. Thank you for that. You let me be able to let go of the server and finally get me on the path I need to go down in life. You're a good builder, you should apply for architect.

@metr0n0me - When we first added you to the Skype group chat, I thought you were just another staff suck up. I've never been more wrong. You aren't a snitch, you're dedicated to the server, banned or not, you have changed mine - and many other's players experience - during your times as staff.

@Escanor - Awesome person to be around, always making me laugh and bringing a positive attitude around wherever he goes. Please add me on skype - mattisapers.on

@xT3Kx - Great admin, you caught all those pesky dupers and xrayers in Pseudocorp. You're probably the greatest admin to have played in years. I thank you for putting effort in to cleanse the server and make it a more enjoyable place for everyone. Keep doing what you do.

@KlutchDecals - Man, I have mixed opinions about you. I'll only speak the positive side of you. You did what no one else could, you opened 2 new towny servers, reconstructed the server, and you put in a lot to the server. You gave your money, paying for harddrives to hold the backups, and you gave your time. It's amazing how you balanced your time on the server and your job. I may have not agreed with your intentions or ideas, but you never caused or tried to cause problems for the server.

@Courtneyyy - I'll be honest, you don't like me and I don't like you. You banned me in game and forums, but I actually am glad of that. You always tried bringing a positive attitude onto the server. I never heard you speak ill of another player, as staff and without. You put in months of dedication to rise to the rank of admin. I hope you enjoy your time on the server.

@BaM_Nitro - Chill guy, I'm glad you've been able to move on from Minecraft. You never failed to dissapoint me, in kitpvp, or selling me heads. Add me on skype mattisapers.on

@klitcher - We've had our ups and downs as aquaintances on the server. I tried getting you demoted, you banned my alt, etc. I wish you spoke your mind, and never tried hiding your personality from the server. Good luck in college and in life.

@Draqq - You're what some would call lucky for duping before the server was destroyed. Good luck on your builds and your future, talk to me on skype anytime you want.

@kyle_docherty7 - Funny guy, knows what he's doing and never caused any issues with other players. Always fun to talk to and is very chill, down to earth kind of person. I'm glad I've came to know you somewhat.

That's about it. I'm not returning to the server for a year if at all. I hope I don't get tempted to try and appeal once more. Minecraft practically took over my life, and I am extremely grateful I was banned. I don't regret anything I've said or done on the server, I don't regret my actions. I regret logging in for the first time in 2012. I regret getting hooked, I regret becoming hooked once more. Please listen to my advice;

I'm going off to college soon, but if I could have done anything differently, it would have been to study and or try more. My grades didn't suffer, but I know people who could have potentially ruined their whole lives over this - or many other - video games, wether on the consoles or computer, Wii or DS, you name it. Please realize that you are not entitled to anything in life. Your opinions don't matter in the grand scheme of things. What you do today can affect your whole life, in a day, or 10 years. Every action you make will somehow affect you, so for your sake, please make good decisions.

You might have also noticed the name 'sojourn', it means a short or temporary stay. I am not returning to forums now, if ever, and I won't be reading replied to this thread. Please realize I'm not angry over my money being wasted, my hours spent here, or my ban. I'm not charging back, I'm not going to use a VPN to play, I'm not spending $30 usd on another minecraft account. I have no intentions of causing staff even more work to deal with due to my actions.

@Imperfectly @7acespade - Sorry for lying to you guys, business is business after all.
@Vamp1re_Man - Thanks for selling me the end portal for 200k, enjoy the legit money.
@simplearchitect - I don't like you and I probably never will, good luck with life.
@VKL_ReWinDzz - Please at least go to community college, don't ruin your future over this game.

I will be playing other games now, GTAV, Uncharted 4, some Infinite warfare. I play on ps4 and xbox one, add my skype if you'd like to play something.
