I was banned from Shadcrest today for the reason Ban Reason: lying to admins, cheating. I'm making this post in an attempt to be unbanned from shadecrest. Let me explain a few things about myself. I get very nervous when I talk to admins. SO because of this I very easily could messed up what I was trying to say when I talked to them that first night. One thing however, I'm not guilty of is hacking/cheating. I have never logged into shadecrest with nodus, or any "special" clients. I use my normal modded minecraft with the following mods: Too many items (for spawning items on creative server) Reis minimap convenient inventory zombes modpack (For flying when i'm in creative mode on the creative server) Optifine Cape mod World edit client side interface (for creative server) Toggle-able shift (Just makes it so the button sticks when you press the shift button) And texture packs like dokucraft and Faithful 32x When I asked for proof or evendence they had I was told " You have been jumping into lava and finding ores" I had seen jasperli drink fire resistant potions and jump into lava and find ores by doing this because of how ores spawn more commonly near lava. I was not told anything more then this. I have a friend that plays runescape alot more then minecraft so You really never see him on shadecrest but his name is DaVinci_1. I cmodifed him to my chests, so that he could see all of my stuff and if I ever stopped playing minecraft or got banned my stuff would be his. (Its kind of like giving a family member a key to your house so they can get in if your not there) Recently due_date told me he was afraid of getting banned, so he wanted to cmodify his chests to someone. I think he said alan321 had access to his chests. I don't remember that part. He asked what the exact the name of my friends account was. I messaged it to him. (I had forgotten I messaged him the account name until nrayf reminded me recently) I guess due_date had added the name to his chests without my knowledge. I honestly have no idea why due_date would do this. I can never even made an attempt to steal from his chests on that account. I dont even know where due_dates chests are. To make something clear, I have used nodus or something like it (I don't remember which) before. But it was Never on shadecrest. It was a long time ago and I know why I even did it. Ever since I came to shadecrest I have played 100% legit.
I do not believe that Griffs would have done this. He is most likely the MOST honest and trustworthy person I have met in a LONG time. I just cannot believe that he could honestly do anything like the things he is accused of doing. If you have ever been on Teamspeak once for the past two months, you have probably heard Griffsbrown talking about how he doesn't want to be banned or is afraid of beig banned for a misunderstanding. I honesty cannot believe that he would ever cheat on Shadecrest. From my experiences with him, he is an honest player, who would never cheat in any way, and just wants to have fun. Not sure if this will help his cause, but I would be very sorry to see him go.I believe that he is a well-respected and liked person of the community. I would hate to see him go.
I say the same thing. Griff is probably the only person I know that cares so much about following the rules. What the heck this kid reads the rules over each and every day just so he doesn't break one! He would never hack at all. I would hate to see him have to leave.
Magetime, Flagellum, have anything else to add? As for why you were banned, when manglor and I talked to you, you lied to us about 3 or 4 very important things, such as knowing what a hacked client was, having never used it, having never been banned before, etc etc. We decided to let you off, to quote myself, on probation, where if you do anything shady or gray area, or break any rules, you're out. Here you told due date the name of your alternate account, and then you both cmodified his account name onto all of your chests. That's really the final straw.
I'm sorry, but I just have one last thing to say. When you asked him about using a hacked client of being banned before he as completely truthful. He hasn't been banned here on Shadecrest ad he hasn't used a hacked client. The only thing that he lied about would have been the fact that he knew what a hacked client was, and who doesn't these days. It doesn't not matter what he has done in the past on other servers, he has not done those things on this server. All he has done is lie ONCE, which I admit he should be had done, and modify people to his chests. There is NO WAY that those actions warrant a permanent ban.
He's lied much more than once, and when I posted that quote from imax i was warning you from posting again. this is your final warning. stop posting on something that has nothing to do with you.
He lied to both of us when questioned on TS multiple times, and we still gave him a chance Griffs if you had just told the truth none of this would of happened.
How is cmodifying a friends account to your chest breaking a rule? The first time I cmodifyed my friend (DaVinci_1) into the chest was when he was at my house and I was showing him my stuff. Where such good friends, that's like the first thing I always do when ever I move. Why would my friend ever let due_date use his account? Also I never lied about being banned before. I'm not that stupid. I have made it clear to a lot of people I have been banned on servers before. Here is my application for the server where I made it clear I have been banned before i'm not trying to hide anything: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/303096-247-dedicated-antigrief-towns-iconomy-adult-owned-team-speak-125/page__st__1260#entry14588832
I may have told a lie without realizing it, just because of how nervous I was at the time. I was talking to 2 admins I respected very much and I was very upset at time. My emotions where kind of all over the place and because of this I may have told a lie without think about it. I'm incredibly sorry. I know lying to an admin is never a good idea. It will never happen again. I never meant to do it. I guess I was just not thinking when I did it. If you could please find it in your heart to unban me or at least make it a temp ban that would amazing. I just can imagine playing on any server other shadecrest. Thanks Griffsbrown
Aside from evidently lying, is this the only time you were actually accused of cheating? Doing this would not suggest you have a hacked client or any illegal mods, as this effect is from optifine (an incredibly popular mod on the server). If a side effect of a legal mod warrants an interrogation of a player, I feel this mod should have a little asterisk next to it in the mod list at the very least. Beyond that, I can't comment as I have no idea what the extent of the lying is or additional accusations. It just seems a bit absurd that we have full fledged investigations in a damn sandbox game, especially when the only reasoning given has to do with a legal mod (when this crusade was supposed to be against illegal mods and clients). I greatly enjoy playing with Giff, so I feel it is my place to bring up a point that I feel others have overlooked entirely. If I have errored at all in my judgement, by all means ban me.
Yes. You have 'errored in your judgement.' And when I just warned another player to not post, you're either stupid or just trying to keep piling on to this to be an ass. And I know you're not stupid. Don't comment when you're not involved. as for your 'valid point', if people didn't cheat in a damn sandbox game, we wouldn't have to investigate cheaters. He wasn't banned for using optifine, nor was that part of the reason he was banned. while the point may be valid, it has absolutely no worth to this discussion. locked.
