IGN: _WlLL
Time banned for: perm
Date banned: 11/3/23
Reason for ban:
using an alt to alluding a ban shortly before appealing for a different ban reason. I was allowed back for my past allegations, but wasn’t honest about using an alt account to avoid the prior circumstance.
Due to having made several appeals regarding the coup I took part in, with one of them allowing me back to the server, I feel it is best to make this appeal solely on my more recent allegation regarding ban circumventing.
Lead up:
Ever since the coup, I have felt a pull back to what TOR was before the events involving ashjer and company. So much so, I had written several appeals attempting to return, but to no avail. So, I decided I would use my own knowledge of server administration and use an alt on the server.
I was very confident the only way it would be found out, was by mentioning any prior knowledge of the server prior to joining with the account and by cutting all ties with every individual I had prior acquaintance with. So, in August of 2023, I slapped the vpn on an alt called LoyalAjani, and shipped it right over to the server.
I played for a few days consistently with this account after first joining with it; although, I started to feel uneasy about the whole ordeal and stopped logging onto the server. In total, if I remember correctly, I logged onto the server a grand total of twelve times. This includes times I joined the server after my main account was unbanned so I could grab materials off of it.
Going to the aforementioned ban for my main account. My good friend mid had begun to make appeal attempts of his own. With one being rather successful! He was unbanned, and started encouraging me to make another appeal of my own, unaware of my alt account that is…
So, I appealed, and after several weeks of waiting, talking to staff, and hoping, Mido wanted to join a call with me and talk. I took this as a good sign that I had a chance to be unbanned and didn’t want to say anything that way jeopardize my chances of coming back. Which was the reason I left my alt account out of the main appeal. After a good conversation with Mido, we reached the end of the conversation where he said, “this all sounds pretty good to me, is there anything else you would like to get off of your chest before moving forward?” To which I replied, “No”.

To summarize a message I received from Mido shortly after being unbanned for the coup, he explained how I was on extremely thin ice and I was unbanned because he had faith in my honesty to that point. But, by keeping the alt a secret, it made it clear I wasn’t ready to change and because of this, I was to be banned again with no promise of having another chance. In fact, I am fully aware that I was to have no other chances. Although I now want to make it clear I have changed, I am being honest, I have nothing to hide. Using an alt was impulsive and regretful and is something I, to this day, am not proud of.
I do know this would have been the perfect opportunity to come clean about the alt, but I froze up. I wanted so bad to come back that I caused my own demise.
I’ve said this many times before, but I do mean it. This is the only server that can keep my love for the game intact, with work, and now university starting soon, I only have so much time in a day and have stopped playing video games for the most part in its entirety. But TOR, is the one server I will put time aside for, I love the history, the friends, the staff, and the people.
Thank you to those who made it through this appeal, I know it’s rather long, but it means the world to me if you were one who finished it.
With love,
Will
