In Game Name: ballroc

Reason for your ban: I used an XRAY texture. Yep, totally did. Not gonna lie about it.

Why should you be unbanned (tl;dr version): Did something wrong and it'll never happen again.

Why should you be unbanned (director's cut): Great question! Because I'm such a swell guy. Seriously though? Yeah I made a boo-boo. I'll admit that, and by definition of your whole thing you got going here it was totally a bannable offense and I absolutely understand if it isn't lifted. I'd never really tried the xray thing before and figured "eh what the hell, I'll check it out and then remove it". Grabbed about a stack and a half of diamonds, a couple emeralds and fell into some lava that I couldn't see (that was fun to get out of). Probably not the wisest to try it out on a multiplayer server. Got the boot from someone, and was like "well, shit on me. That sucks." I've had experience running servers for other games (didn't get into MC until a few months ago,) and I totally understand the ban, but I also know that even those who offend can still play by the rules if given the opportunity. I've played legit up until this issue on the server, and it was really just a bit of experimentation (like that time I went to that dispensary in Denver). I've enjoyed my time on the server and would like to continue playing around on it. I'll keep my votes going on the different sites until I hear a final verdict because frankly the server is kinda rad, and it deserves them.

Note: If it makes you feel better - I continued using it for like 20 minutes in single player to understand it a bit more and got such a headache trying to see stuff. It kinda makes the game get boring real quick. More fun without it. I'm now drinking a Yeungling to sooth the pain of both my head and my heart. Because bans hurt the heart. Like a bad breakup. A bad breakup with the girl of your dreams. I suppose this is the equivalent of standing outside your bedroom with a boombox over my head playing Peter Gabriel.

Note 2: Also if I don't get unbanned I won't be able to post this weird ass story I found that someone wrote in a book about a burger man and some berry baby thing. Pretty sure someone was on something when they wrote it. Also found a book about how Crafty came into being. Pretty sure it was the story of Zeus and somehow incorporated Crafty into it. Not really sure because I didn't read the whole 30+ pages. I kinda want to get to read it, but need to really have the time for it. It was like trying to read Beowulf in the original Saxon English.

Well that's it. Guess I'm gonna go stare at a rock or something. Let's see if I can't find myself a nice igneous today.
