@alarmgv12 holy shit this is dank was this in blender?
That's weird; I legit left the game in air via elytra so I have no idea how that could've happened, I have died to phantoms previously but I hadn't really dealt with them yesterday; Are you sure this was last night? I didn't go afk
What makes it, even more the stranger that I was automatically respawned and not shown the respawn/go back to title screen thingy
I'm out of my mind confused rn
So this morning I've just logged on to found out that I died, however, I was not presented with the respawn screen and back at my .home and I have absolutely 0 recollection of ever dying.
The last time I logged out I was flying to another woodland mansion; I was getting relatively in closer range to the location of such and I was flying at roughly 800-1.3k blocks in the air or somewhere around that range, more so the reason I do that is I can go afk for a short time and not constantly be watching the screen to make sure I don't ram headfirst into the ground, I've logged out before at this altitude with no repercussions before and suddenly this happens, when I was flying last night and still high up in the air, I decided that I wanted to go to sleep so I log out of the game, close my laptop, and call it night.
Even now I just woke up and i'm very drowsly typing this up; I legit have no idea how I randomly died and I only found this out now- Please help! the only idea I could think at from such an altitude from logging out either a bug went into action that didn't happen previously, or the game didn't process the fact I left until much later, both with has never happened to me before

Strengths
There's a fair bit of myself that a lot of staff, and many players don't regularly see which- While I'm known for my shitposting and regular memeing, in 100% truth, and others can back it up, that I'm a very, very collected and relaxed person that doesn't let all chaos break loose and I hopefully find myself easy for others to talk with a wide variety of problems, whenever it'd be disputes between people or personal issues.
I view myself as a mediator and remain entirely unbiased in situations with the information I research and gathered, I don't cut slack even for people I'm close with and over all else, prefer giving a completely honest opinion, while I am very diplomatic and tend to hear both sides of the problem, I definitionally don't let myself be a pushover or a yesmen to others. I am quick to state my feelings on a situation and quick to deliver judgment; in the sense of the server, I am quick to call out when people break rules and chat, and with players, I genuinely do like to help others and I'm quite an earnest and relatively person at the core, on numerous accounts i've helped specific over the course of the last 2 maps- I like being a good sport and helping others when I can!
I'm not the type to give up on others and I prove to be quite hardy and persistent; I like assisting something or performing a specific task until its done, settled, or resolved. As a helper, I would be very efficient to quickly solve problems in the fairest way possible and with as little bumps in the road as possible and would show no hesitation to tell someone how it is and enforce rules if there's a point where a helper can no longer be of assistance I would quickly to try to get a mod or admin as quick as I possibly can, if a problem goes to the point where it extends outside my range of control.
On other notes, as a helper, as of right now I have almost grotesque amounts of free time and I'm usually on many hours of a day, and even when school comes around I'll typically be on most of the time after school hours- I manage! I also would give updates to higher-ranking staff in the case of certain events arise that would prevent me from playing for specifics amounts of time or if I am going to suddenly going to have my amount of activity ingame be constricted due to events, as a staff member of any kind, I value the importance of giving updates when needed.
Having communication is efficient and crucial to having a healthy moderation team.
On other notes, I tend to remain very organized with people and tend to quickly sort various things out- also, I am not the type to hold beef or drama with people for unruly amounts of time and to let it affect the flow of things, dwelling on the past constantly and holding grudges is 100% counter-productive and doesn't get things done! I like to look forward to the future, not stay sick on the past and have it mold me as a person, many years ago that was the case and I can confidently say that's not healthy for any person whatsoever and I don't wish to return to that state.
Weaknesses
I am not perfect. No one in the world, CM, or anyone, in general, isn't perfect, which includes myself. We are all human and we make mistakes- and typically, we learn from them; I am bringing this up as may the fact may be as throughout all my time on CM I have stay out of rugged waters for the most part, but however with recent times, there has been things that has made the ''Plot Thicken. '' However, despite it being because of a variety of things, I believe one thing should not entirely define a person and for that case, an application such as this- As ironically and cliched it may seem, I believe second chances are a thing for most people. However, on other things..
I deal with various mental issues personally, while I don't vent my issues publicly or others, I deal with anxiety problems, of and off depression, and insomia. My health tends to have very unpredictable ups and downs and with that, it can prove to be very moody. I have a tendency to worry a little to much, and definitionally overthink things too much. While aware of my surroundings, depending on what I am feeling I can become increasingly more self-conscious and paranoid which can prove to make me more socially awkward then I usually am. This can also go hand in hand with my motivation at times.
I'm also an introvert and tend to be more reserved, I don't actively start conversations and I usually only chime in to what others say, or say something whenever I am feeling for it, or when I am needed or deem important it, as a helper I'd like the coach that doesn't says much and sits on the sidelines, but will step in and talk when needed, always watching over typically- something like that! I am capable of normal conversation and people skills, just not a super constant one though.
One of my arguably biggest weaknesses is that I consider myself annoying at times due to how I am, and the fact I can prove be way to honest at time and can be notably and with of a history of being dense to people's feelings or true thoughts- I have a tendency to push emotions aside at times to solve an issue and usually, It's much later depending on said thing that I notice what is going on. I've had to people point out specific things for me sometimes in the past before I finally catch on, however, this is rare.
Why are you applying?
I simply would like to throw in more of a helping, active hand in keeping the chats clean! This server has really helped me during my low times and I've met some rad people on here during my 3ish years on CM. While I was on during 2016, I was largely inactive re and didn't participate in the community and was mostly afk at a zombie grinder until the 2016 reset, I became only active at the direct end of 2016 and my presence known early 2017. I love this server and would see nothing but the good and well-being of it, and I'd love to play more of an active role in maintaining that. However, I only wish to become a helper and nothing more ; I really like the aspect of raiding, building, and all the other ongoings in the server- I like playing survival!
Time on CM
Pre-late 2016 reset - I'm honestly not sure, but I'd like to say 15mil+ ticks
1.12 map - around 30mil ticks
1.13 map, spread on mainly two accounts - 5-6ish mil
Thank you for reading my app and I hope you consider me!
the result of doing many allnighters in a row + self-destructive tendencies + not brushing out hair
Be patient and let the mods take their time. Reminding doesn't help- they know.

Ban Reason: Failing to report a potential dupe stash
Why should I be unbanned:
Perhaps some background information is required first; While on the entire situation I am hazy with specific details, this whole thing and situation happened early last month-several weeks before today- the day of the reset. One day ingame for whatever reason I was asking @Qfu with how many totems he has left after a pretty epic pvp match with iwarriori- with totems being nearly impossible to get ahold of, it was a valid question to ask, which he had 2 left- shortly after that he dm'ed on discord about the potency of the legitimacy of GoldenCookie's ( a banned player for being caught duping) dupe stash and how he had been offered cords and then asked me if I was interested, which apparently, had stacked totems, beacons, and among other valuables.
I was highly skeptical of its existence, and personally, was not expecting there to be a dupe stash. I talked about this with a very select few players who I knew could trust about this and have personally raise curiosity. I went to the cords provided and there was no dupe stash in the surrounding vicinity, under and above ground- again, the same group of people was made aware of this. Not much more was made out of it afterward and it was only sometime after when it became an issue from logs being shared- Personally, when brought up to me I was heavy, heavily confused at first before I had to think of my actions in the last week after a further discussion, would be told I would be banned the first week of the reset.
~
I gave my list of reasons to Dawn, and in short summary- I wasn't thinking much of it all as a concern at that moment since no dupe stash actually existed since I went to check it out on my own accord ( early in the morning after doing an allnighter), I quite literally forgot/did not concern myself about what to do in a situation where dupe stash is being brought into question since on this server at least, happen once a blue moon. However, over the last month to which I had to think over my actions, despite much being human error on my end, I acknowledge the fact that as an old player I should be constantly aware of what to do in a situation such as that no matter time of the day and I should know better on how to react to a situation such as the more quickly, rather than giving the chance for it to sprout into a more icky situation.
Despite all my known shitposting and memes, logs of the situation or unrelated, and the thing that people don't get to see the more serious and heartfelt side of me often. I truly love this server and it has helped me through some dark times and gave me something to do- I always loved the community here and there's always been a soft spot for craftymynes in my heart and I am very grateful for some of the people here and the fact I came here- I would never intentionally or purposefully harm the server in any shape or form, and over the last month reviewing my mistakes, I would've releaized shortly after the situation and in the case I actually did found items, despite what other things may be seen, I would have definitionally reported the dupe stash for the sake of maintaining economy from true total collapse. Plus, while not related to a dupe, having any form of unlegit items obtained from an exploit, dupe, or whatever- there's no point in keeping it when you guys can track where players have roughly been, inventories, and ender chests- there's no where to hide!
I will defentinally become a better person, and player, if I am unbanned, this sort of situation will never occur again as I am fully aware of how to properly react ( not casually) in a situation like this and will report it to a mod or other staff member- Real dupe stash or not, and in any case scenario will report to staff.
I have been very regretful of my actions and remorseful. I have refreshed myself on the rules again for good measure and will do the true right thing next time- I love this server and would never do anything to intentionally harm it. I have never been banned in the past before and have stayed out of muddy waters until now.
Thank you for reading my appeal.
