Hello Lokans,
This post will be quite lengthy as there is a lot of things I want to cover so I appreciate everyone who takes the time to fully read my appeal. Im aware that it is probably too soon for me to unbanned due to the severity of my actions however In this appeal I will be being completely transparent about all my wrongdoings so that at the very least this appeal can be a stepping stone into being let back into the community again.
I will be explaining why I did what I did as I would like everyone to understand the full picture but I want to make it clear that when i explain my reasonings it is no way an excuse for what I did.
Full transparency of my cheating
On my main account i started cheating around early February of 2025, I used Doomsday client with a cheat called click aim assist, I discovered that if you set it to a certain mode and clicked normally it basically gave me 100% accuracy as long as my aim was fairly near my opponent, originally I toggled it on every now and used it to climb the ranks going from iron up to diamond 1 in a very short span of time.
I consistently used click aim assist using it to get gladiator rank at the end of the season, I think I toggled auto jump reset in the last week as well to ensure that I made it into diamond 2. After reaching the rank that I wanted I stopped using it for a short while as I felt satisfied with getting gladiator however this would change pretty soon after, as well as click aim assist and jump reset. I also used tracers and freecam at resource isle from February up until I got banned, using it to kill many new recruits and grinders I am embarrassed and deeply sorry to all the people who I affected with this as I basically made it unplayable for many new players which is completely inexcusable, at the time a lot of people where calling me out for this and I constantly lied about it to cover for myself and too all those people I am sorry as well. On top of the tracers and pvp cheats I also used block esp at one point when a town fell to find a room full of shulker boxes, this is where I encountered my only screen share on my main account which was performed by chickpro and was for suspected X-ray, I was able to pass this screen share I lied to chickpro and wasted his time for which I apologise. After the ranked season was over I stopped for a bit however I continued again once the new season had started as eu ranked had been added, from the duration of the start of that ranked season to when I got banned I began to cheat more blatantly putting auto jump reset much higher and basically having my click aim assist toggled the whole time, I was at the top of the leaderboard quite a while peaking at netherite 3 and made the experience of fighting me completely horrible for those who where queuing ranked legitimately, to all those people who had to experience this I apologise, the anger you felt was valid and what I did was completely out of order. I also feel its necessary to say that before this I had never used pvp cheats on Loka however in 2023 I used high jump to get Firestone, for which I got unbanned for.
Why I did it
My reasoning for using cheats in the first place was pretty simply, those who are friends with me probably know that I have never had a good setup
From when I started playing to around July 2024 I was using a laptop provided to me by my school, in duels I got around 50-70 fps which although not great was still playable. At this time I was around gold 3 - emerald rank and enjoyed playing duels and going to zyre however due to me finishing school I had to give the laptop back. I began playing again on an old MacBook from 2012 that my dad gave me
I went from around 60fps to 30fps as well as my mouse wasn’t properly synced up to the laptop, I dropped from emerald to copper/stone everything felt off my aim my potting it was basically unplayable and unfun. I lied to myself thinking that because I had a bad setup and because I thought that tons of other people cheated that it was justified for me to start cheating. This was completely wrong and I convinced myself for so long that it gave me permission to do all of these things. And although the things I mentioned above where the reasons for starting cheating in the first place if I’m being truthful I carried on mostly because I enjoyed it, it was fun and that was why I lied so much to to keep doing it, one of the lies being creating an appeal after i got banned claiming that the video evidence sent in was false.
Alting while not banned
I started playing again after pretty much quitting in summer 2024 in the winter of the same year which is where my alting began and the start of my cheating overall. I had moved to university accommodation so there where 2 different wifis which I had access too I decided to play on an alternative account which I had named _LordFarquaad (I think I started alting roughly in November). Using the second wifi I started to test cheats which is where I found the cheat I used up until I got banned, since it was an alt account and I didn’t think I would get caught and tested the limits to which I could cheat by using 300% hitboxes in a few games of ranked, I got diamond 1 on the account which was for duelist and logged off for quite a few weeks going back to my main, at this point I didn’t start cheating on my main yet. Id play on the alt account every now and then after the few weeks had passed and I cheated on people in cove and fissure, eventually I got screenshared by kxph for cheats which I denied using and then managed to bypass the screen share, the day after that I used hitboxes again as I thought that by passing the screen share they wouldn’t screen share me again however I was ssed by kxph for a second time the very next day, I managed to bypass once again which is the point where I decided to start cheating on my main account. I assume the admins already know how I bypassed but if they would like anymore information on it which could help them with catching cheaters in the future I would be happy to help. I played on this alternative account on and off depending on how I felt and at one point accidentally logged in on the same wifi as my main, it flagged me as an alt but I opened a ticket on both accounts lying claiming I didn’t know who the account was and that I had been playing at a friends house, the lengths I went to in deceiving the staff on this alt account alone is awful and I have absolutely no excuse for this, I am sorry to however handled my ticket. I eventually got screen shared again in summer however I didn’t want to risk them finding my main account so I admitted to cheating and let my alt account get banned.
Ban evasion
After getting banned I ban evaded 2 times. The first was right after I got banned on an account called DandelionPolice which got banned on the day I created it, the second was in about October on an account called Wendigo8, I didn’t get banned for a few weeks and when I did I created an appeal lying saying I wasn’t an alt. I would like to clarify that I did not cheat on either of these accounts as the first one got banned immediately
And I got a pc which I wanted to ban evade again on the later account. I have not attempted anything since.
Final notes and apologies
I understand this is a lot, hacking, alting, ban evading and not to mention the copious amounts of lying but I wanted to be completely truthful about everything. To all the many people I harmed with my actions I apologise it was unfair and I am truly sorry for what I did. I know that it will take a long time for people to trust me especially people I was friends with who trusted that I was legit, those 8 months of rule breaking I deeply regret but I take full accountability for my actions and I understand why what I did was wrong. Im aware that its unlikely this appeal will get me unbanned however as I said earlier I hope this is a step in the right direction towards being allowed back into the Loka community as it has genuinely been one of my favourite servers to play with my friends and I at the end of the day I hope that I can be allowed back to play with them again and be part of the community once more. I am a changed person and if I am unbanned I promise I will never do anything like this again.
I appreciate everyone who took the time to read this I know it was very very long and please if anyone has any questions I would be happy to answer.
