Hi there,

As you've already guessed, we taking hacking here very seriously. It may seem like just a little helping hand in the moment, but it's an advantage and a cheat that makes the game unfair for those who play fairly. This appeal is denied.

Best of luck elsewhere,
Dennari

Hi there,
We appreciate the apology, however that doesn't change the fact that you were using an unfair advantage over other players. Autoclickers are explicitly mentioned in the rules as a form of cheating and any form of cheating is not tolerated here. I hope you keep that software uninstalled and play fairly from now on, but that will have to be on another server. This appeal is denied.

Best of luck elsewhere,
Dennari

Hello, I am the mod that banned you. You had been warned several times both with staff messaging you and with server warnings and you ignored all of these. However, thank you for finally changing your skin. You will be unbanned. Please listen to staff warnings in the future. Welcome back.

Look up Bunny the talking dog. She uses a board of buttons to communicate. She's recently started asking more existential questions that are honestly quite terrifying to hear a dog ask.

Personally I have always loved dogs for their dramatic and wildly diverse personalities. I also think cats are very misunderstood and a lot of people don't know how to properly interact with cats.

Also you have to earn a dog's trust too. That's not just for cats. I have a rescue border collie and it took several years for her to start behaving like a regular dog because of how badly she was mistreated before we got her. Every day we see her open up more and become more comfortable around us, trust us, love us. Food didn't win her over. Patience and trust building won her over. I think a lot of people think of a dog as that dumb fat middle class golden retriever that barely learned how to sit and stay and was bought as a puppy. Nearly every dog I have ever owned has been a rescue and they are definitely not dumb or trust you with just table scraps. Dogs can also pick up on your body language and tell when you are angry, sad, hurting, the same way a cat can.

Cats and dogs are probably equal here. The real question is how dumb some birds are, cause there used to be a cardinal that thought it's reflection in our car windows was it's enemy and would attack the windows. It only did this to the car windows, nothing else.

I also really enjoy it when it pops up in chat. It almost feels like the best kind of compliment you can give in a pvp game. Personally, I don't see an issue with it simply because of how it's presented. The all caps and the xx spelling of it definitely feels like it's being said jokingly and the overall tone of it is very lighthearted. For me at least, the server saying it in an obviously joking manner is perfectly fine and nearly every player that has read the rules or been on the server for a bit should be able to understand the difference between the server making a joke and a player making an accusation that could cause someone to be kicked or banned.

It feels like a super minor issue, if at all, but if anyone has an opinion on this, I encourage you to comment what you think about this.

Hello,
I'm the mod that banned you. As this was a requested ban, you'll be unbanned immediately. Welcome back to the server.

Despite this not being a legitimate ban appeal, and PapaNeon having summed it up so well already, I will answer this anyways.
I am the mod that banned you. Any form of cheating is not allowed on our server.

Appeal denied. Best of luck elsewhere.

Hello, I'm the mod that banned you. I am well aware of the "lag-ray" joking that was going on in chat, and despite joking about xraying being taken very seriously here and can lead to a ban, that is not the reason you were banned. I watched you showing off your "lucky diamond finding ability" as you mined your way directly to diamonds, calling out where it was before ever reaching it. That luck of yours must be divinely sent to pull off something like that. Per our server rules, any form of cheating will not be tolerated.

I wish you the best of luck on other servers

No I wouldn't kill them. I wouldn't trust them either, however, unless I had prior interactions with them or they had established themselves as a trustworthy person. I would accept their help, but I would be cautious and ready to defend myself during the entire interaction.

This is a debate that gets brought up with every major update, so I will reiterate what I have heard and said in the past. It really sucks to lose your progress and I understand that's why most people are hesitant or against a reset. My best advice to that is to remember to always take screenshots and pictures of your base for memory's sake. Because there's no way to know if your base will get raided or griefed tomorrow, next week, or not at all. We take that risk on this server and most long standing players have come to accept that understanding. The same goes for server resets. We may not like them all the time, but it's how it goes.

I am all for a reset for a few reasons:

1. Several players have nether bases. It would be extremely unfair for their bases to be erased while everyone else on the server is unaffected. You could argue this is the same as getting raided, but there's a big difference between a player getting raided by another player and several players having the server owner erase their progress and only their progress.
2. No update or just a partial update will make it harder to stay high on the server list charts and Craftymynes won't get seen as much, won't get as many new players, won't get as many donations, and will all together suffer because we didn't want to have a fresh start when the update releases. I for one love this server and want to see it succeed, and that means sometimes losing everything for a reset.
3. I personally think it has been long enough for a full reset. We have seen factions rise and fall, hundreds of bases pillaged and raided, and insane builds reborn at new locations, all within this map. It has lived a full life and I think it is time for a fresh start.

I encourage other long standing players to give their opinions on this. Those with the most will also have the most to give up, and I'd love to hear what you have to think on this.
