A Second Chance - Crashlander04

[Crashlander04]

Hello all, my name is Crashlander04, and this is hopefully my last ever ban appeal. Most of you know me as Crash, however. Whether or not this is simply an abbreviation for the sake of not wanting to pronounce all five syllables of my username, or a testament to the informality and comfortability that has grown in our community.

I hope you take the time to read this as everybody's opinion counts.

Undoubtedly, most of you know I have been banned. Even more undoubtedly you can support what for - lack of maturity, respect for staff, and for players as a whole. I realize my past shenanigans and tomfoolery are often disregarded as childish and pointless, but it has occurred to me, after countless hours of retribution from friends and acquaintances alike, that my deeds have done far more than provided a few laughs to even fewer people.

I am sorry to say that, yes, it would seem I have disrespected far too many people in my quest to achieve humorous results and or my sense of justice. I realize I could blame this on boredom, or simply flaws in other's actions, but in the end it only comes to down to my own choices. I accept that I am guilty of breaking the first rule in any way that is deemed necessary - it did never occur to me that I took the leeway of the staff, and the cushion of the community for granted. It always seemed as though no matter what my actions were, I would be able to swindle my way out of them through loopholes in the rules and through comparison to precedent.
It is now apparent that this is not simply a free-for-all, and that such actions will have consequences. I still don't quite know why I was so convinced of my invincibility here on Kiwike - maybe it was my friendship with certain staff members, maybe it was my long spent dedication to the community - or maybe it was simply ignorance.

I now realize this is not simply a game of tag, where being caught means nothing as of the next round. My choices and actions will follow me through the rest of the server's future, but hopefully my better judgement will shine through and create a better reputation.

I would like to sincerely apologize to all of the community my immaturity and slander has effected, especially the staff who I time and time again fail to appreciate. Even after I have publicly flamed, abused, and conspired against several players - the fact that they can simply turn around to forgive me and give me a second chance gives me a bit more faith in the dying morality of the Internet.

This community is one of the best ones of I've seen by far, and I would hate to be stricken from it forever. I understand that yottabyte was justified in giving me this ban but I am saddened that I shall miss such a pivotal moment on this server (the release and momentum building of Revamped). I have gone through much effort to participate and prepare for this coming of Revamped, and the fact that so much of it would all go to waste within three weeks is heartbreaking on my part.

I can not promise that I will never be immature again, but I will do my best to maintain myself as a respectful member of this community until the point at which it shall come to an end.

I now ask with utmost sincerity, and my lesson learned in hand, for one last second chance.

Yotta, Droid, Dj, moderators, fellow players, please hear me out - I know I've been banned for less than a week - but if there are any conditions in which my ban could be reduced or eliminated I would be immensely grateful.

I realize that was a mouthful, but thanks for giving me the time of day.

- Crash
