Well here we go again.
First of all, I would like to point out that it wasn't just LegoPepper who decided to ban you, we as the Admins on the server have came to the conclusion that it was a valid reason to get permabanned for. Some of you guys may disagree with me here, but LegoPepper is the owner of the server, so I would say that he has all the rights to ban people from the server after as many bans and warnings as you did, you don't pay a single penny for the server, dude. If you would own a car or a house of your own, that you paid for with your own money, don't you think that you should be given the power to decide who can enter and who cannot?
First of all I would like to point out that the reason you listed here is quite semi-honest. You indeed did the said action, however it was more your previous warns and bans that got you off the server. You see, you kind of exploited a little feature* we had, by "disguising", and it wasn't the first time either, furthermore it was already stated in the rules that you SHOULD NOT be able to disguise as living characters, as it'd lead to unfair outcomes**. You have been warned and even banned for numerous reasons, such as continous RDM***, Metagaming****, exploiting***** and even leaving in a sit****** to avoid the consequances.
In the second paragraph you seem to complain about the your unfair bans in the logs, as well as claiming that LegoPepper shouldn't have banned you, as you didn't have a total of ten bans. I can't help but simply disagree with it, please keep in mind that there never was and never will be a rule that states that we can only permaban people who had over ten bans, for this reason I took the time and effort to search onto your logs, and I can confirm that you have been banned seven times, and had three warnings, most of which for the same reason. That has lead us to believe that you either simply disrespect the rules or are unable to learn from your very own mistakes. At the end of this report you even claim that you deserved to be banned off our forums, but doesn't that terminates the main reason of this drama thread then?
The third paragraph is simply a lie. You have contacted me numerous times shortly after you've been banned and I replied to you. I even listed the bans to you, however you decided to go silent after I claimed that I actually do agree with the ban logs.
Keep in mind that our main goal at Sapphire Servers is to provide a fair and fun game for most people to enjoy, realism is our second highest priority.
* "Little feature" - Basically by the time Paint was playing, we allowed the players to change their characters' name whenever they wanted, this was supposed to be used to change characters, so you wouldn't have to play as the very same character again. However what Paint has used it to avoid conflict. What he has been doing was to cause conflict, change his decals and then also change his name. This way the players who were looking for him had no way of figuring out that it was actually him. In-fact, he was so much of a master of disguise that he didn't only manage to fully change his clothes while running, but also shave and grow out a lost eye. This feature has been removed, since realistically people should've been able to recognise him by his face. This feature has been removed.
** "Unfair outcomes" - With the mentioned feature you would've been able to take the name of someone else, which would be unrealistic, as your characters' face wouldn't look the same, and also unfair for the person whose name was being taken, as if it was allowed anyone could ruin any other characters' fame.
*** "RDM" - RDM stands for "Random Deathmatch", it is when you attack and / or kill someone without having a valid reason to do so. We understand that the medieval times were agressive and rough, but I doubt anyone would like to lose his character that he spent so much time on developing to someone who simply attacked them because they got bored.
**** "Metagaming" - Metagaming is when you use or spread information that your character wouldn't know / the others' character wouldn't work. This contains telling other people where you are, if you're in trouble, or simply posting in-character information on any out of RP chat. This simply gives an unfair advantage.
***** "Exploiting" - Exploiting is when you simply know of a glitch and decide to use it as an advantage. As you may know, you are able to leave notes behind on walls for others to read, however back in October the notes had collision to them. Which meant that you could jump onto them, as well as place them on doors to block people from coming out. These are obviously unrealistic. This has been fixed.
****** "Sit" - If you have broken a rule and get reported, instead of us banning you we pull you into a sit, where you and the "victim" can tell what happened from your point of view, so the admin can judge who's actually in right. As you can imagine, leaving in a sit is not recomended, as it easily seems that you are just simply trying to avoid conflict. If you do know that you have to go shortly, we discourage you to start conflict or to attack anyone.
To reply to Lord Tony;
First of all I do believe that you and LegoPepper had a little chat about playing bandits, in which you were asked if you read the rules, to which you replied with simply "no".
On the other hand, we do understand why would you guys want to play bandits. Being bandit is quite exciting, as your life would be made up of fighting and hiding, and who wouldn't like to play a little game of action and stealth? However our Medieval RP server, is still an RP server, which means that the main focus should always remain developing your characters. We, as the staff found it quite unfair to lose your character you spent so much time building to a bandit who simply attacked him for his gold. Sorry, but once again, we have to put the game's fairness above realism.
HOWEVER, if you do tell them to give them their money, and drop their items, but they refuse to, you ARE ALLOWED to attack and kill them.
Thanks and have fun.
