What have you learned and why should we trust you to do better? Backround

Well let me preface this ban appeal by saying this will not be the regular ban appeal, may not be formatted right. But I need to get my point across, and my play on meep was always unorthodoxical.

Let's start from the start, good bad and the ugly(This will have a ton). I will state this it won’t be the generic one where basically they say,”Sorry I hurt the community, and I hacked, I learned and it won’t happen again.” I played on the server for 4 years, countless hours, countless memories. I for sure changed me, how could it not, I played so many hours, at points it was a key part of life. Spent $600 dollars on the server on ranks and meebles(LOL).

When I started out playing meep I had was very quiet never talked in chat, I made houses in the wild huge extravagant things, spending hours on them, then the next day I would log back on and they would be blown up by some donor. The I meet Notchbeard(hope that is his name) and he offered me a plot clearing job for 2 plots for 20k. Took me 4 hours with iron picks but once I got that /pay jmelara 20000 I felt like I was the richest player ever(I later amassed 30 million getting to /baltop #9 or 9th richest on meep). What did I do with that money, well Notchbeard gave me a plot in his town and I built a pig…..

Later I would spend hours upon hours playing old capture the wool(just saying we should totally bring that back) I remember spending so much time, and never getting bored. Sometimes getting the courage to go into the terrarium, then to be one shot by donors. But hell it was all good fun.

I started to make money, bought a town, and bought a few donor ranks. Then I applied for staff(totaly power hungry). Which I made fake accounts to +1 myself, thinking they never would figure out. Needless to say I was never accepted.

Then quit for awhile after the collapse of Meep Networks and the whole cruelty gaming fiasco. On new meep was when I really got into it. I owned a town called JC(not standing for Jesus Christ) Where I made a huge town that had 150 residents, huge plans but fell short because of my lack of patience. Bought a rank for smorning, made a lot of cash(this is when meep really started for me). Applied for staff got accepted for interview, never had one. Smorning and I opened a bookstore where people sell use lvl 1 books we would combine them and get maxed out ones and sell them to the server elite. Kinda meet dianab72 but more on that later(I burned her bad).

I made friends with crusher(rich guy who use to play), and walker193 where I had big dreams all falling short. I made a town called The Giver crusher quit and had like 20 mil in his account. Smart guy me I took his rank away and without warning taxed 5%, generating like 11 million. I got banned 7 days for it, tried to deny it but I totally was at blame.

Came back little while after the ban and got into town building, and such again. Then during the summer I made an obsidian farm that made 500k+ per hour. I was making more money than anyone on the server at that point as it was afk, you can do the math it was unreal amounts of money. It got shut down after it got unstable and reggles44 shut us down basically. I had 30 million at that point(highest I ever was). Tried to build it again but in alpha this time with bigdaddyjoe and his portal. Dianab72 stopped me and I launched a whole smear campaign against her(sorry for that).

Later on I acquired /pwarp V for 5 million from bigdaddyjoe, if you didn't know it was basically a villager trading shop, where people trade all day and give me massive amounts of emeralds. Which I trade from my amassed 20 million dollars worth god villagers. Making me 175000 k per hour purely legal(as dianab72 does my method). Everything was going great money was being made legally good standing, then my computer died ;/. Losing everything, and when I mean everything, when my computer died the server lost I would say 30 million worth of stuff in a seconds time. Raided almost instantly.

Came back after I built a new computer and it wasn’t the same at all. Making money was tediously slow. Show logical me I said well,”I will just build a new one” welp nope. Walker193 made one and wasn’t going to give it to me after what happened. But I went behind his back and attempted to build my own to destroy his(great friend ikr). I had people lined up to expand margins, and profitability. So to get the process off the ground I took a loan 1.5 million from miniarch to speed up the process. I was paying it off and I got a ton of help from bigdaddyjoe(I feel almost worst for what I did to him, I need to honestly write two apologies.) After a few days of grinded like hell I decided to dice at 1.5 million 100k wager. I had a crazy losing streak losing 5 in a row…. I was so turned off by this I quit and shut off my computer. I knew I had to pay it back but had no encouragement to do so. I was so close and I literally didn’t want to spend the time to fix the issue. I could have made the money back for sure, but I lacked encoragement.

Judgment Period
As I mentioned I feel extremely bad for what I did, as I didn’t just hurt miniarch I hurt one of my biggest mentors on the server. This is one of the things that I find is extremely unforgivable. I can write another 5000 more words(As I haven’t already lost 99% of people, dont worry I will write a TLR section), but I made some bad mistakes. I didn't burn just burn one person mini arch but I burned bigdaddyjoe. I personally been scammed and it gives you a sick feeling in your stomach. I costed miniarch hours of my time as I was to lazy to play 3-4 more hours to get the money made back up.

I am extremely sorry(que JB song) I made my mistakes. I have a few offers in this appeal but before that let me put the sincere section. My action was awful, I was to lazy and in myself interests to simply not log onto my account for 3-4 hours to make the money up as I had the means. I have given myself 4ish months after my ban, I am not going to lie I scammed and I knew I did, I knew I was going to be permed banned and I was content with that at that time. As selfish as that sound I was content at the time with the decision.
I went against a lot when I did this action. I went against my word, my integrity, moral standards in general. I don’t think anyone should fully forgive me as what I did was no forgivable. Now that being said I am sorry Miniarch I know I hurt you, as you were going for a rank. I took your money saying I would pay it back, and I turned on you all of a sudden. I lost you hours upon hours of work for myself worth. I valued my time more than your which isn’t okay at all, I apologies as sincerely as I can through a keyboard. Then to Bigdaddyjoe, you were my mentor, person I looked up too and I scammed you. Took your money and then didn’t do what i said I was going to do. Truly disgusting behavior...
Now I am going to stand here and beg, I have learned from my mistakes, trust me, I punished myself enough. It was wrong, and it wasn’t a faceless crime I hurt more than just one person in the process. I know how horrible scamming miniarch was it is a selfish action. I have made a resolution to keep going even if I am kicking and screaming. I don’t know what else I can type I hurt him and I hurt the community. For this fact I have somewhat of an offer, kinda a bail offer. I will do the following:

Pay back miniarch 2 million a month after I get unbanned
In addition pay back Bigdaddyjoe 1 million a month after I unbanned

I was going to the usual thing where I apologies to the community and the players over and over; don’t take that as I am not sorry I am, but the whole process of that I feel is synthetic and really shows no improvement in actions. But I find that to be BS and it doesn’t fix anything, with my offer it allows for actual retribution for my acts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion

I sure have made my mistakes here, and in real life, but we all have. I have had so many great experiences on this server, and I would hate to have it go to waste, for my idiotic move. Hours upon hours wasted as I was a idiot. I am ready to make up mistakes if ya’ll are ready to slowly forgive me. Let me have my one last ride, if I get banned again I will never play here again.

TLR It’s a ban appeal….

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: *Disclaimer cookies was burned in the process of the appeal...

I mean I apologies, I was baking cookies when I made this appeal, and I kinda burnt them....As I was so into writing the appeal. Punishment in itself, but being serious, I hurt people and I want to make up for what I did.

 

I hope you are sincere in this appeal and at least pay people back for scamming them. I don't expect you to pay back 3 mill a month to those you owe but it would be nice if you at least payed what you owe. I am accepting this appeal and hope you hold true to your words.
