I am aware that my offense is of a difficult type to forgive, but please, hear me out.

It all began shortly after I had joined Minerealm. I was settling nicely, building a house composed of the new type of bricks, perfected by the addition of a moderately sized farm.

Not three hours after this was completed was it somewhat damaged. I had only been gone for about two. I didn't think much of it, repaired it, and continued on with my life.
My house was damaged repeatedly, until it was nothing more than an eyesore. I can still point the blight out to this day. I had recruited the help of a mod, Spritzo, I believe it was, yet he was only able to fix a small part of it due to the large amount of players that had brought their share of destruction to the area.

After this, my predicament was that I had no way to obtain credits. I didn't dare build another house, I wouldn't fathom storing a chest anywhere that was anywhere, and I was left without an adequate shelter or substantial resources. I asked as to the location of a vacant apartment, but to no avail.

That is how it all began. My goal became to somehow obtain 10,000 credits to purchase the realm on which my old and broken establishment lie and make it beautiful, as it once was. I could imagine no legitimate way to do this, so I started looking to the illegitimate.

Cheating, thieving, erasing all evidence. I eventually took to using a chest finder and making pinholes in the direction of location. I would then fill them up, in the hopes that nobody would ever notice. I earned a reasonable amount doing this, however I would often die due to a lack of protection or food. I will, however, admit that it was incredibly easy to spot a chest.

My goal became to obtain a golden apple. I had observed the auctions in which they often sold for more than the required 10,000 credits. I decided that my course of action would be to sell it, live peacefully on my farm and house, and never thieve again during my stay on this server. I never had more than 3,000.

I understand that my actions were wrong. I really wish I was able to take the damage back and return to the server. If you give me a second chance, it will never happen again.

Ok this is why I ask.

"After this, my predicament was that I had no way to obtain credits.

I asked as to the location of a vacant apartment, but to no avail."

You say you had no options but to cheat in order to provide safety for your goods yet there is both a bank for storage of chests and apartments right next to that spawn. Both options being really cheap (300 for a house for 2 irl weeks 100 for a double chest at the bank) that provide plenty of safety. We specifically built those for new players yet you chose to not take advantage of those offerings and then use it as an excuse for breaking the rules? Did you even read all the signs around spawn?

Note that I stated I was unable to find such services. I asked and searched, but found none. Even if I did, it would not solve my problem. I wanted to restore MY house, and own MY chests.

I know that my decisions were irrational, that is why I ask for forgiveness.

Oh I seen that you stated you were unable to find those services. I just don't believe you. The bank and aparments are right out of spawn with signs detailing who to message. We've had many people take us up on the offer so they can't be hidden that well. As far as owning. There is plenty of time to own your own land and build once you buy a plot legit. We all had to go through the same process.

I don't normally look around spawn. I didn't see any sign at spawn saying anything like "----> to bank". On the majority of servers I had been to, the spawn was covered with buildings and pixel art of no importance to me. Whenever at the spawn, I always disregarded the area and headed for the public realms. Another mistake, I guess.

As I said, it was irrationality on my part. I am not making excuses for what I have done, only asking for a second chance. I KNOW that I have made many mistakes. I KNOW that much of them seem illogical. All I that I am able to do is promise that it won't happen again.

To be frank, I don't think you should be un-banned. Heres the deal:

I haven't been on this server very long myself. I started from scratch like everyone else. I've lost everything myself twice now since I started, yet, I've manged to work, mine, sell very hard to get where I am. I now have a realm of my own, and a co-owned realm. Also, chest fulls of supplies and around 30k credits.

We all started off with nothing, and I'm sure many of us have lost everything along the way aswell.
The majority of people on the server have got to where they are by legitimate means. There is no excuse for cheating like you did. If everyone else managed it, why couldn't you?
