Well, ladies and gentlemen, it seems like its time that playing on this server has drawn to a close. But, before I go, I must tell you about everything that's happened.
NTC first started when the founders, Beast, Someonee and I bought our first realm. We were thinking about a name, and I knew that we wanted a shop, but we also loved PvP. In the end I thought of the really poorly thought name: Nether Trade Center (NTC).
NTC only had 3 people in the "Party chat", as it was called then. those people were the founders. We grew only later on when we convinced a couple friends we had in another gaming clan, to come join us on Minerealm. This is where we started to grow, Cannabin0l, Crash, and Broski joined NTC around this time, and although Beast, Someonee, and I were the founders, NTC is ruled by the members, making all of us equal powered.
We started to grow even more when the "Nether Wars" were initiated. We gained new members like Pharazon, Q, and Shockwave, Wookz_, and the legendary Kress91 (AKA my sister). During the Nether Wars NTC had become a very active faction attempting to destroy any other threat in the Nether. However, this method gained us hate, and harassment (which we choose to ignore than ban request).
NTC continued to play on Minerealm focused on PvP well after the Nether Wars ended, members of NTC also continued to grow as we gained JonColmantor, and Joelove (if I forget anyone, apologizes). Some of NTC's members became some of the richest in the server, and bought out the diamond and glowstone market, while others became great builders.
Now, let me get to the part many of you actually care about, how this all ends. On April 8th of this year, Kress91 connects to Minerealm Creative. I hear about this from some people as his name actually appeared in chat as "Kress91 has joined the server" and "Kress91 has left the server". As many of you know, as part of a deal with Intelli Kress could use an alt to play on Minerealm, and said that he was my sister. So upon connecting to Creative Minerealm, I ask "Hey, why was my sister banned?" and then upon being asked who my sister is, responded with "Theadjutant". Within moments I was banned.
The next couple of hours I'm unclear as to what happened, but after asking some admins, it seems that Wookz_ and Cannabin0l spammed Intelli's personal information through chat. After being banned, Wookz_ proceeded in calling Intelli's home.
After this, I'm sure you can all guess what happened. We all get banned. It is disheartening to see my appeal get rejected for what might have been considered "Minor trolling" as that was what I was banned for (I asked more than a couple admins and I was banned for trolling, because this happened before the personal attacks on Intelli). As I rest in mod hell, I ponder, and still do; Should I be responsible for the actions of 12 teenagers? Should I have been a stricter leader of a faction in a Minecraft server? Well these questions might never get answered, but I would like to humbly bid you all a farewell and good luck to the former NTC members I am forced to leave behind.

A wise man once said:
“There are times to cultivate and create, when you nurture your world and give birth to new ideas and ventures. There are times of flourishing and abundance, when life feels in full bloom, energized and expanding. And there are times of fruition, when things come to an end. They have reached their climax and must be harvested before they begin to fade. And finally of course, there are times that are cold, and cutting and empty, times when the spring of new beginnings seems like a distant dream. Those rhythms in life are natural events. They weave into one another as day follows night, bringing, not messages of hope and fear, but messages of how things are.”
