3. Full exact Ban Message: Griefing/Causing Grief by TP, appeal at http://www.skyblock.net -blaq 13/10
4. Did you read the rules ? Yes
5. Why do YOU think you were banned? My friends Bluesugarcane and Liilbear teleported me to the island that they share with MusicCentral. We were having a sort of party that involved cramming a lot of people into a small room. They all consented to people joining in. I teleported some people in, with completely honest intentions. The end result was absolutely catastrophic and I will profusely apologise for any damage that was caused as a result of my actions. As there are no server rules regarding teleportation, I believed that what I was doing was acceptable, however this has been a learning experience for me and I will never again teleport people to islands without explicit permission from the island owner. I understand that regardless of my intentions, the outcome breached server rules, and for that I am truly remorseful.
6. Was this an incorrect ban? No. The ban was called for, and I support blaq's decision. It was my error and I will accept responsibility.
7. Were you ever banned before on SkyBlock? If so, what for? I have never ever been muted or banned on SkyBlock before.
8. Why do you think you should be unbanned? I have learned from my lesson, and now know that teleporting people to islands is bad, as grief can result. Regardless of the fact that there are no rules pertaining to teleportation, I now understand that it is an offence to teleport people due to the high possibility of griefing. I will not commit this mistake again, and pledge to assist Sugarcane, Liilbear and MusicCentral to repair any damage caused to their island. I also intend to propose specific rules and or guidelines for proper use of teleportation privileges, so that no one else commits the same mistake that I did, and to help raise awareness for proper teleportation and island visitation etiquette to avoid issues such as this from arising in the future.
   
   Thank you ever so much for reading my appeal, and I hope that blaq and the island owners could find it in their hearts to forgive me for making such a big mistake. It was an error of judgement on my part.

Tagging the banning moderator to expedite the process, blaq

 

I would also like to take the opportunity to publicly apologise to MusicCentral. What I said to you yesterday over Skype was abhorrent and I am not proud of my actions. I profusely apologise for everything that I said. You do not deserve to bear that kind of treatment, and I vow never to talk to you like that again.

I've been having some very serious issues going on. I'm struggling with my classes and I may not graduate from college. I've been having bad family problems, namely one of my brothers has been deployed to Syria and I may never see him again. The grief has driven my parents apart and it is having a heavy toll on their marriage. I suspect another divorce. My girlfriend of 10 months is also out of the country as a foreign student and has told me she may very well break up with me very soon, as long distance is too hard for her.

My mental health has taken a horrible turn for the worse in the past few weeks, which is why I have been rarely on skyblock, though I love the server. I've been on the edge for a while and I sort of broke down and that is why I was so mean to you. I promise that I will work on myself and do whatever I can to make it up to you. No one deserved the treatment I gave you yesterday.

This teleporting and griefing incident is completely unrelated to the Skype argument also. The argument happened very late, and the teleporting happened early on in the day. I did not teleport people to spite you. I only got in the argument with you because I was being hotheaded after you sent spiteful remarks to my friend. However I am not criticising you, I now believe that all that you said to him was justified.

Please try to forgive me. I'm not a bad guy, I just have some unresolved issues that I will never show again, and I will never verbally abuse you like that again.

MusicCentral feel free to respond if you wish to, if you don't within 72hrs then I'll assume that you don't want to.

BallsAnonymous you also griefed items yourself, care to explain that?

 

I am unsure of what I have griefed blaq. I am sorry. It was probably when in the skype call we were making a joke about the pumpkin and I did a small change to the back of it as a joke that Sugarcane thought was funny. I understand that it has been undone. Other than that I broke a couple of redstone (all of which I replaced), as I idly clicked when I was on the island hanging out with Sugarcane. If I caused any damage I am more than willing to fix and compensate the island owners.

blaq Could you possibly get me a list of things that were broken by me so that I can arrange for the island owners to be compensated? If not I will just turn over what you deem appropriate.

 

Erm I don't really know what to respond

 

Just let me know what you'd like me to do/pay to make up for any damage done to your island as a result of my actions.

 

I dont know really

 

(I set my home at MusicCentral's island) BallsAnonymous LiilBear Cheeseboy9000 MusicCentral and myself were all in a group call on Skype at the time. BallsAnonymous has explained very clearly what has happened. I did not grief anything and I tp'd no one to the island. If you have logs of BallsAnonymous breaking the pumpkin, that is fine as I gave him permission to break it if he wanted to. However sometime later Music left the call and would not speak to Harvey and Balls on Skype. She told me that she was upset by what has happened. I think BallsAnonymous should be unbanned because we all (as far as I know) gave him permission to tp people to the island.

MusicCentral was permission given for balls to tp people onto the island? I was going off your report and the logs because it was utter chaos then as I'm sure you know.

 

I did ask, during the big 'party' in the stone room, "can we get more people in here", and everyone laughed and said yes. We were all just having a bit of fun and it spiraled out if control, I never meant for anything bad to happen.

Its a mistake but i had no bad intentions

 

Yeah he had permission but I thought he would only tp donors/non griefers

 

I did not know everyone and who would grief and wouldnt. I had permission to teleport people however, so I think that this whole dilemma is a big misunderstanding, that won't happen again as I now have a much clearer idea of what is and isn't a good idea when teleporting people for a party.

If unbanned I will be much more selective with any teleportation that I do.

 

Alright, since this is your first time and since you've apologised to Music, I'll unban you since you had permission to TP, but you made a poor judgement call while TP'ing.

Please take the time to think carefully about what you did and the consequences of your actions. It is likely that Music will have to now restart her island because of what you did.
