I really like Halo... lol

Everyone's welcome!! I got pizza rolls and ramen for dayz =P

I just read AlwaysDrunkPunk's ban appeal and felt the need to say a few things...

First up I think this is one hell of a bar raiser as far as ban appeals go, literally 100% of the time we can all agree everyone deserved what they got for being stupid. It's always been plain and simple. After reading this particular appeal though... I believe the stats have changed to 99.9% of the time... and while that's an incredibly tiny percentage, for all intents and purposes its a colossal number.

For the first time on on that thread I felt legitimately sorry for the accused, and for once could understand and put myself in the same situation... and I honestly cant say I would have behaved differently if placed in a similar situation...

To be clear, I fully respect the actions of our fine staff, he broke the rules and deserved the punishment he was dealt. There is a 0 tolerance policy for hacking/cheating and they were fully aware of that.

I just wanted to say that for the first time since joining the craftymynes community... I feel there is a gray area in this ban appeal... thankfully im not anywhere near as experienced with minecraft as some people seem to be. Before I joined this server I played exclusively on Xbox with a few of my buddies, and ONLY in creative lol... so coming here was HUGE. As such I'm not familiar with duplication glitches or exploitative bugs, and many other things I probably shouldnt know about.

In this particular instance though, I can fully relate to his curiosity in finding this "duplication" contraption. I sure as hell wouldnt of had any idea what the damn thing was of course, but were I in his shoes my thoughts would have been the exact same! I can see exactly how it would go down in my head! I would giggle like an idiot and go "hehe some asshat was trying to dupe" and then think to myself... "huh, I wonder if this thing still works" ... I would tell my buddy Icebaal to hop on and get him to help, then tinker with it for a few minutes to see if mojang still sucked at their job and then move on once i realized its been fixed.

If it had worked I would've immediately sought out a staff member and told them that this thing was around and someone was up to something... I wasn't actually trying to cheat in my mind...

What it comes down to is this: A hacker got banned for breaking the rules, we have a 0 tolerance policy for a reason, hacking and cheating is unforgivable... before now I never thought a gray area was even possible in this category... and had the post ended there it would've stayed that way... but what really jumped out at me was Crafty himself basically inviting him to come back and play on an alternate account... which I took to mean Crafty felt legitimately sorry for the guy and his situation.

It was a weird experience to read that ban appeal... idk... i might just be overthinking it but the atmosphere change a bit for me...

Lemme brush the dust off this thread with my awesome Halo / Video Game Collection of awesomeness

Felt I should show off the rest of my Game Room... My Wife and I have friends over... a lot.

if you can make fire resist potions you can actually swim in lava, ive found that swimming in it and filling it up with cobble from inside is a bit quicker than trying to maneuver around larger pools with sand and gravel, and a beacon with haste II is an absolute necessity for clearing large underground areas.

if I may ask, how far out were you? if you dont want to be specific, a ballpark if you will, i fear for my bunker's safety lol

lol bone thats my favorite one too, "Jesus christ, your pictures prove that you're xraying.

are you really this stupid?" was absolutely priceless

Server is up!
