Good evening fellow lokans today I am here to appeal my loka ban, and apologise to the community for my actions. I'll first talk about what I did to get banned, and then confess to everything ive done. I am well aware that 9 months may not be enough given what I did, but just bear with me because at the end of the day, people change, and I changed.

My contributions to the server: Probably most players dont know but a week or so prior to my ban i had reported 2 dupes directly to elders, worked with them to have them fixed and received 6k orbs in return. I know that what ive contributed to the community has nothing to do with my ban but still, I honestly think it was fun hunting for dupes. For anyone interested, I will link the videos for the dupes that were fixed[1].

About my ban: Before i get into the details i wanna say that, to every player that asked me about what i was using after my unban, I came up with a different answer to every single one of them. The truth is i have no idea how to code anything let alone a full on minecraft mod that would bypass a screenshare, i just didnt want to admit that I was using a public cheat that wasn't even meant for bypassing. After my unban things were going really well, i had a town I was working on with my friends and i genuinely havent cheated, macroed or really broke any rules. In terms of ranked i was playing around emerald level, not having made it to diamond once. At the time I was losing games to some people i have never even seen play on the server before so i naturally made the assumption that all of them were either cheaters or alts. While this may not be true for all of them, logging on and seeing my reports resolved even though it was a good thing, kind of killed ranked for me. That's when I first made the mistake of cheating again. In my head it would be a one time thing and I would get diamond and stop immediately. I was a few games from diamond anyways so at the time I didn't realise the gravity of the situation and went with it anyways. I was on meteor client and I think a player named 2lu (who also got banned for alting later on) was the only player I cheated against that night. Not that this makes it any more justified or anything, but compared to what would happen later on, it wasn't as big of a deal. The sad thing is, even though some people that I lost to were genuinely cheaters and alts, I still had the audacity to assume the top players to be cheaters. In my head every good player was a cheater in some way no matter what they were using, which is obviously incredibly wrong, but it was just an excuse for me to cheat whenever I wanted to. At that time I knew the basics of anticheats and i knew that hitboxes no matter what, would trigger the anticheat and ultimately get me screenshared which is why I reset my pc after what ive done. After that i kept playing the server normally, waiting to eventually get ssed, but to my surprise weeks passed and I never got it. Sadly this only boosted my confidence and i realised I could keep doing what i did and get away with it. I know that even in my first appeal i said i wouldnt ever cheat or use macros ever again, but at that time it just oddly felt right where it obviously shouldntve. Around that time I realised that I could keep it going if I really wanted to so I downloaded liquidbounce and found a trashy triggerbot config that would later get me in trouble. I do want to get in the details but I don't wanna give other people ideas to start cheating cause it really is one of the worst things u can do to both the server and urself, up there along with doxing and harassment. Basically I knew which modules were detected by the anticheat and which modules weren't. The public config i used had a major flaw with its triggerbot which would later expose me. At the time i didnt know anything about the supposed triggerbot animation[2] so when I quickly ranked up and made a shameless video[3] with the clips i took with it, i would come to realise that i messed up real bad. I started receiving dms from both my friends and other loka players asking about the hit animation, so having noticed that i privated the video and never spoke about it again. The video WAS saved by a player so at that point i thought i was genuinely going to get banned without a screenshare, as the evidence was as obvious as it could be. Even then, I figured i would just reset my pc again in case they actually screenshared me instead of banning me right away. I gave all my lores and valuables to my friend to keep in case i got banned but again, i never got it. From that point onwards I would make sure to only ever upload clips where im legit, since I didnt want to make the same mistake again. Now i wont go and say that the staff didnt take it seriously, maybe they thought I had a mod to change the animations, idk, but i feel like after that video I uploaded I should've at least gotten screenshared. From that point onwards I genuinely was more sceptical with what i was doing but I unfortunately never stopped it fully. It just became an occasional thing, like if I felt like cheating, I would do it for a day or two and then reset my pc. If im not mistaken, I have reset my pc about 8 in the span of 6 months or so after my initial unban. Im speaking from experience and the thing with cheaters is that they will find an excuse to cheat no matter what, so in my case, that was me accusing top players of cheating. In my head what I was doing was justified as they were cheating themselves anyways, but I was clearly wrong about it all. To be perfectly honest, as much as I trusted my method, I knew that if i was to get ssed as i was cheating i wouldn't pass it. When the last week of the ranked season came about I had my pc reset once again. A week after that I was frozen for the first time by chickpro. I dont actually know if he took a note of it or not but I would assume he noticed that my pc was pretty much empty, like i didn't have any of the files i normally would have, but regardless, apologies to chickpro for wasting his time with screensharing a pc almost fully empty. In my head, after having passed the ss I had proven to everyone that I was a "legit good player" though that was obviously not the case, and I think most players knew this also. Things went on normally for months as i didn't see any purpose in keep cheating after the season was over, and didnt want to take the risk again. At that time I played like I normally would've and it was genuinely some of the best times ive had on the server. I was working on my town with my friends, we would gank every now and then, and I still kept playing ranked though I obviously never hit the high ranks I used to hit with cheats, being stuck in emerald for nearly the entirety of the season. As exams were around the corner I stopped playing the server for a while, and actually focused on my studies unlike last time when I had to get myself banned to have time for my studies. I did pretty decent in all my exams which meant that I could play the server as much as I wanted now. Things only started to get bad again when I stopped enjoying the server like I used to, not having been able to cash anything out of garama cause of people who I knew were blatantly ESPing also had a big impact, but again, other players' actions whether they break the rules or not, do not justify my own actions, and I was oblivious to that. While this wasn't the only reason at the time, it is the only one that comes to my mind when I think about it. So with all that in mind, one random evening I was playing with my friends, it felt like ive had enough of it all, so I told him I was done with the server and that it wasn't the same server I played with my friends to kill time like it once used to be. That evening I downloaded liquidbounce, loaded a random rage config I found in the forums with fakelag and hitboxes, and just played for as long as I could before I was frozen by Reiwa (it took about 10 minutes). I also wanna say that im deeply sorry for everyone that i raged against that evening[4]. It was by far the most shameless thing ive done yet, as i could've just flyhacked to get it which wouldn't harm as many people's experiences as it did, but i chose to do that instead, im sorry. At that point I knew I brought that on myself so I admitted to cheating and got banned right there, didnt waste his time like I did last time I was frozen. I did come to regret it soon enough, but honestly, I think that it's a good think I got banned, because otherwise, everything that I have done up until that point would've went unpunished. Whether ive served the time required or not, is up to the admins and the community, but all I am asking for is one last chance to redeem myself.

My apologies to everyone: It is hard for me to even emphasize how much I regret having done what I have done. Taking in consideration that this was my chance to redeem myself to the community after my first ban, I have definitely failed too many people that have believed me. It is not possible for me to apologise to every single person I cheated against, since it was a long period of time that I cheated mainly in ranked and occasionally in zyre, but I will be happy to apologise to anyone that dms me on discord privately, and I genuinely am sorry for all the damage I have done to the community. I want to sincerely apologise to those who had to deal with my foolishness when I raged the evening i got banned, so, my most sincere apologies to unosolos, metaam, intellc and azu1es[4]. I also want to apologise to eyvah for having said what ive said years ago which got me muted. I have moved on from it and am a different person now. If I ever offended you, trashtalked you or cheated against you, I am sorry for what I did. My actions at that time don't reflect me as a person. I know that I was already given a chance, and I don't wanna repeat myself but people change. I have changed drastically over the months. I havent cheated in any video game in months, started working more on myself and started going to the church again, and the cheater that I was once was now has nothing to do with me. I factory reset my pc once again, refunded my CS2 cheats and started playing more casual games rather than competitive ones. Currently loka is the only server I am banned from, as I have appealed my cheating bans for all other servers including stray, hoplite and gankmc. Ever since I came to the realisation that games are only there to kill time and have fun, and that cheating defeats the whole point of every video game. I know this may be hard to believe after what ive done but all I am asking for is a final chance to redeem myself to the community. If I am given one final chance I honestly am really excited to start my town again, on the same exact tile it used to be on. If you have anything personal against me for whatever reason, im willing to talk to you in dms.


I actually searched thourgh my old .minecraft folder to find out who I relentlessly rage hacked against so that I acknowledge my mistake properly[5]. So, my most sincere apologies go to unosolos, azu1es, intellc and metaam. Sorry that you guys had to suffer from my idiocy, I really do mean it when I say sorry. I am glad that it only took me 10 minutes to get banned so I couldn't harm more people than I already have[4].

My conduct outside the server: I left all loka related discord servers, and unfriended everyone from the playerbase aside from my close friends. I really wanted to take a break from the server and the community all together, although at the time I definitely did regret my decision. During the 9 months ive been banned for I rarely joined any loka related discords, since every now and then someone would come up to me in chat and talk me down. I would say that I did get better at managing myself, since I haven't harassed or argued anyone, I really did take the time to change as a person.

Alts: I have never attempted to alt. It was ultimately my decision to get myself banned anyways so there really was no point in even thinking about alting from my perspective. Just as last time, my brother also got banned after my ban but he rarely played the server anyways so it wasn't much of a deal to him and he didnt get mad at me. One thing though, I accidentally tried to log on on a different account when I wanted to check my ban date, but we had it resolved with kxph and he told me it wouldn't be used against me[5].

It means a lot to me if you have read it all, I hope you have a great rest of your day.
