To the Loka Staff Team,
My name is Bebben, IGN Bxbben. I was permanently banned three years ago for town betrayal, and this is my fifth appeal. I'll keep it real.
What I did was stupid. I can't even fully explain what I was thinking at the time, because honestly, I don't think I was thinking at all. I was 13, acting impulsively, and I didn't stop to consider that there were actual people on the other side of that decision people who'd put real time and trust into their town. I broke that, for nothing. The items got removed, I gained absolutely nothing from it, and I lost access to a server I genuinely loved. Worst of all, I've spent three years being the friend who can't play.
That last part sounds small, but it's genuinely been the hardest thing. My friends and I moved to Loka together, and they're still there. I still talk to them every day. I still hear about what's happening on the server. I just can't be part of it, and that's entirely on me.
Over the past three years I've tried to actually do something with the time rather than just wait it out. I've read through Loka's rules properly and I get it now — not just what they are, but why they matter and what they're protecting. I've cut out the toxic people and situations that shaped the mindset I had back then. I've gotten into screensharing and been accepted for staff positions on other servers, which has honestly given me a completely different perspective on what it takes to keep a community running and why trust is so hard to rebuild once it's gone.
I also want to bring up the alting accusations, because I'd rather address it than leave it hanging. I don't admit to it, but I do understand that accusations like that mean staff have to spend time investigating, and for that hassle I'm genuinely sorry. That's not the kind of player I want to be associated with, and it's not who I am.
I know this is my last appeal and I know my track record here isn't great. I'm not asking you to pretend the past didn't happen. I'm just asking you to weigh it against where I'm at now. I was 13. I'm 17. Those two years have made a real difference in how I think and how I carry myself, and I'd love the chance to show that on the server rather than just saying it in an appeal.
I'll accept whatever conditions you want to put on it. Probation, restrictions, monitoring or whatever you think is fair. I just want to come back, play properly, and be with my friends again.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
