Ban Reason: Hacking
During the last day of a ranked season, I was attempting to achieve my personal goal of hitting Diamond rank in order to get the title "Diamond." I had played 1k+ ranked games that season, and honestly was just endlessly grinding ranked the whole season. While I was on my ranked journey I encountered multiple people that I believed to be cheating such as Qrevive and RezzaOT (who are now banned the screenshots proving their bans are in the images). These players that I believed to be using cheats had been doing so for multiple months, and were well known around the community as "blatant" hackers. I would like to state that in no way or form does this justify or excuse my actions that I performed as a result of my belief in these specific players cheating. I had no 100% certainty or assurance that these players were cheating which would allow the possibility that I was rage hacking against innocent players that were not cheating. This proves that my motivation of "cheating against cheaters" has no weight in justification for my actual ban, but only demonstrates my motivation for cheating that day. After encountering these players that I believed to be cheating, I was fed up and decided to install doomsday to try and get "revenge" for the amount of elo I had lost. I had never used doomsday or any cheating software on Minecraft before. As a result, I went straight to the PVP section, and put the setting "hitboxes" up a significant amount and enabled jump reset mod aswell. Little to my knowledge this made me essentially a blatant rage cheater, who was hitting every hit from a mile away. During my blatant rampage of cheating, I was frozen by What777 and Marioistrash after 10 minutes. After I was frozen I simply messaged "gg" to what777 and logged off because I knew I was caught. I would like to state that my only goal was to achieve the "Diamond" rank and get off. Due to my 1k+ ranked games I wholeheartedly believed that I deserved the rank "Diamond" because I had reached it multiple times during the season, and I believed that the only thing holding me back was players who I believed to be cheating.
I know what I did was wrong and that "cheating against cheaters" is not a valid excuse to begin cheating. I not only cheated against the people I believed to be cheating, but the innocent legitimate players aswell. I acknowledge that if everyone cheated against people who they believed to be cheating it would lead down an endless rabbit hole of accusations, retaliation, and rule breaking. I'm not going to act like I've suddenly "turned into a new man" or that I've "reinvented myself" because of my ban on Loka, because this is simply not true. Outside of this incident I believe that I was a positive influence on the server by participating in the community, helping many new recruits as a town owner, and interacting mostly respectfully with other players. This shows that my act of "rage cheating" against other players was a poor decision and not a true reflection of the type of player that I tried to be. While this does not excuse what I did, it does show that this incident was an isolated incident rather than a pattern of behavior I had on the server. I will say that while I was unbanned on Loka, I was playing for hours on end every day, which was heavily distracting me from things in my life that I needed to prioritize. Looking back, I was heavily addicted to this game, and I let the game take up more time than it should've. Stepping away from the game allowed me to realize that I was truly playing Loka way too much, to the point that it was making me considerably less productive in real life, and that getting banned was certainly a blessing in disguise. It helped me step away and recognize that I was playing the game way too much and identify that I had to change something. However, I believe that during my 11 months away from Loka I have learned how to balance my time more effectively to balance my hobbies with my real responsibilities such as school, work, running, and the gym. I no longer have let videogames such as Loka be my main focus and consume the majority of my time. As a result of being away from the server for nearly a year it made me realize that there is more to life than just playing a game. If I am ever unbanned I will show that Loka is something that I will enjoy in my free time, not something that will dictate how I go through my whole day. I understand that the length of my ban does not automatically entitle me to an automatic return to the server, but I hope the time away has demonstrated my growth and development in my personal life outside of Loka.
All things considered, I fully understand that my actions were clearly unacceptable and violated Loka's rules regardless of my reasoning at the time. I take full responsibility for my actions, and do not expect it to be overlooked or sympathy because of the reason I did it. If I am given another opportunity to return to this server I will guarantee respect of the rules without excuses. I assure you that I will treat Loka as a balanced hobby rather than something that negatively influences my decisions.
