(I was advised by Dev to make a new account for this post.)
Game you were banned from: Sigrogana Legend 2

In-game name (key): Eziekieal (me), Gunbladekop (friend)

Reason you were banned:I was involved in a guild that added on some less than savory characters. Since I had been playing the longest, I was assigned as the unofficial leader with my game knowledge. But that doesn't mean I had any control over them. My guild members made a lot of bad decisions and I, regretfully, didn't try that hard to stop them. I was outnumbered in my opinion on our actions, so I eventually caved and went with the flow. We were responsible for several conflicts in the game, as I'm sure all involved remember. I absolutely take my share for the actions of the guild and I'm truly apologetic for what it evolved into. Including the half hearted roleplay by some of our members.

The length of the ban, if you know: Forever.

Who banned you, if you know: Slydria.

Why we should unban you:I started BYOND back in 2007 without having issues on any game. I was even a SL1 player for a long time. I've submitted icons for SL2 that were added to the game some months back. I've donated multiple times over the years. All in all, I have sunk a ton of hours into the game across multiple accounts and haven't had any issues until the last couple months of my play time in the game. I'm not asking for my guild to be unbanned. I'm only asking for myself and one of my friends, as he is the one I convinced to start playing and was entirely innocent in the conflicts my other members ended up causing. They were recruited in game.

I know I was accused of not being a great roleplayer myself, but I absolutely put in the effort and tried hard to establish a solid roleplay for myself (and eventually my guild, which they almost all ignored). Character and guild lore can be found here: https://pastebin.com/Ryhv2xtU as well as our guild forum topic: https://www.neus-projects.net/viewtopic....amp;t=6497

Following our guild ban, there was a lot of sore feelings between our members. A few of us were upset at what the others had essentially forced us into. This led to the expulsion of several members in our Discord, including Ners. Who we had to remove due to what we felt was a toxic environment he had pushed to create. Including his (unknown to some of us at the time) bug abuse.

I can assure you that there will be no more Ephemeral or "Grindybois" should my friend and I's account be unbanned. We have legitimate roleplaying we want to do and no game has the same appeal that SL2 does. We just wish to return to the game and enjoy it as we were before all of the guild antics started up.

It has been nearly a year since the ban and I've spent a lot of time regretting my decisions. I promise there won't be a repeat of any of our past issues.

Your group in general was one of the worst examples I can think of regarding poor behavior and being completely disrespectful to the community and the rules.

It was so bad that even after the bans, I still had to deal with it. I had to remove shitposts and porn on the forums, I had to find and undo griefing to the wikia, I had to constantly ban new accounts tied to the above. For what felt like a daily occurance for a month, maybe even two. What a goddamn waste of time.

Frankly I don't have faith in your words here, I don't trust that you've changed for the better and I'm reluctant to give you any benefit of the doubt considering all that happened. Why should I risk being treated like a fool again, for your sake?

You don't deserve another chance, at least not now.

Thanks for replying. I completely take responsibility for my own actions regarding everything. Since the incident, I've made sure to remove the members from my group of friends that helped lead us down that path. I've got nothing to do with them anymore and I'm personally fine with them never being unbanned.

I'm more than willing to be on some sort of probation for a while following an unban if that would help. Just to prove I only want to play the game normally again. You know that I, personally, had tried hard to follow the rules. I was constantly pestering you with questions on different actions before I would do them, just to be sure that it wasn't breaking a rule or fit into the lore/rp of the game. I actually put in a lot of effort to my character and his back story because I enjoyed playing SL2 as a game.

Since I'm unsure if my last post had been viewed, I'm going to bump this just the once (as the stickied topic says I can, I believe) to say one last thing pertaining to my case.

I apologize for whatever forum/wiki trolling you experienced after I had been banned. Might not mean much. But it wasn't me, I promise you that. I won't go pointing fingers, because in the end it was still probably a member of my group lashing out in which I did not join in on.

I know you and my group were always at conflict with each other, and I’m apologetic for that. And of course I admit to the wrongs I did and take responsibility. But you and I never had a bad relationship. In the few instances I accidentally broke a rule, you know I came to message you quickly to try and clear everything up and accept responsibility for it. You were always willing to help me and answer questions, which I'm grateful to you for. I’m sorry that I allowed myself to go along with the antics my other members decided on.

I really hope to get that second chance to play SL2 again properly. All I want is that chance to prove myself. Nobody else. Just my own account and my own responsibility.

Alright, sorry for the last message.
