iBiS and I looted the town under full knowledge that it had just disbanded. We were not aware that there were any players still active in the town, but on the chance that there was we took it upon ourselves to store all of the items taken in 3 chests. With confirmation from a moderator, 100% of the items are in these chests, bar 9 blocks of endstone taken from a feature building in Forsetti village. These endstone blocks are in my personal enderchest, and if they cannot be recovered I will make sure they are paid for fully.
iBiS and I both realize now that looting this village was a mistake. We were under the impression that it would be justifiable by the fact that we kept the items for the return of any of the players who would claim them. However, it was my personal mistake to not leave any signs indicating this to the towns people, and I have no words to describe how stupid I feel for doing that.
If I am unbanned, we will be able to make ammends with the people of the town, and I will assure that all of the items are returned to their storage facility.
This was a mistake on my behalf, and I sucked iBiS into helping. I apologize profusely and hope that this situation can be resolved quickly.
I understand the situation but there was confusion on many things. It's my understanding you were given staff permission but they have already been talked to in regards of the situation. Even if you guys were moving the items to protect them you should have never been given permission to move them from the realm at all.
If anything you should of been told to buy the realms ect if you want to keep the realm. But it seems to me it was to loot the realm, which buying a realm or taking the loot with the sole intention of taking the loot is against the rules. Even if you moved them and marked them accordingly, staff would have to waste time then looking through their chests logs cataloging the items and then check yours to make sure everything is returned and that could take a very long time and no one wants to go through such a task.
I have also come to a understanding that the owners of said city have had several realm disputes with you which does raise some flags. I know it probably wasn't the intention but it is being looked upon.
TLDR; You guys looted the realm with the sole intent of "Protecting the items" which should of never happened. You want to protect them give staff sufficient reason to actually buying the realm they are on and then you will get permission. But note items should never be removed from the realm they are on till after x amount of time.
"we thought it would be okay to loot what we could find, in terms of items." This quote alone makes it sound like you guys looted with the sole intent to loot which is why you are serving a ban time like everyone else. With that said you will both be unbanned Tuesday July 2, 2013.
