Name of the Admin you were banned by:
Leudobcerct/Neonity

How long is the ban for?:
Permanently Banned



The reason you were banned?:
I was banned in early 2022 for minging, by Leudobcerct, but ordered by Neonity after my character went into the Nexus from the courtyard (I was being watched and assisted by a Gamemaster/Staff/Goose at the time) my character was trying to avoid what was, an execution/purge of citizens in the Nexus.

This was my second ban, ever, with my first was by Booile (Permanent, despite no prior warnings on discord or server- he put forward that I had a history of minging, which made no sense as I had a clean slate during that time.) I agreed to accept that my next ban would be permanent, if it was just. However when Neonity banned me, she banned my forums account to prevent me from appealing. This was something I had to get senior management in, as it was never within reason to prevent an appeal at all, in that moment or even down the line.

- I've only been banned twice, and those bans were during my two years on the server and it has been three years since the last ban. I've been with the community for 5 years, and have only been banned twice, as far as a can reckon only one warning as well.



Why do you wish to be unbanned?:
**Taken from my last appeal

I would like to start this appeal with an apology, an apology for my childish actions on the server/discord. To both community members and staff. I am sorry for what I have done, what I did- from the trolling, rule breaking, and failure to abide by the rules was unacceptable. I look back at it now and see disrespect, from myself, to all the people around me. Whether it was persons I played with or those trying to help/better me and my experiences in the community, I disrespected those around me and my behavior was unacceptable. I am truly sorry, and with my apology; I would like to put forward an explanation, not to defend my actions but to provide my view as to what I have done.

Before playing Willard I was on Nebulous for several years, I enjoyed Half Life RP very much. Before Willard there was Terranova and seeing the potential for fun and freedom outside Nebulous I began waiting for new servers whilst still playing Nebulous. I was introduced to Willard after catching my eyes on the discord, I remember- playing in the first event. With Zeropants and Radx… I remember the first version of Willard. I remember working on spreadsheets with the startup economy. I remember a lot… It was at this point I took the server very seriously– I don’t know where I screwed up but I did? By don’t know I mean I don’t know why I did what I did. I began minging, it was around the time I did the CWU events on Gino Lombardi- sametime with the stock market. I began going more OOC than IC dealing with issues and what not. I could see the timeline, it was an abrupt spike in bad behaviour which led to Dno being banned, unbanned, then banned again. I stepped away, out of spite; I trolled in the discords, it was anger and regret which got ahead of me. Childish actions, no excuses at all- as I did what I did.

I Alted, I was banned from both the forums and discords so the only way to play was this route. I stuck with Rebel roleplay and moved into Civil Protection. I didn’t break the rules… I contributed to the roleplay setting as much as I could, however my behaviour was not liked-. I couldn’t understand why but I was able to see that people didn’t like Anilife. I stuck with the rules, my character made i2 remarkable pace due to my hours, ran through the Antlion Arc, and did as well as I could… I wanted to step up, I knew I would be able to contribute, I knew I could staff, I knew I had the potential for CT/Lore, but I knew. With the reputation of Anilife, I could NOT get to those positions. As much as I wanted to help out, my hands were tied… So I made new hands.

I created Sevens, taking the notes from my rights and wrongs of Dno and Anilife and applied them forward. I was on my best behavior- as I learned. I knew what to do and I knew what to avoid/disregard and that is quite literally what I did. My actions weren’t for personal gain, I enjoyed writing lore, I enjoyed hosting events, I enjoyed helping others… Seeing what I could now do I stuck with it and only put good forward. Leaving my bad past behind, I was running CWU during GOI (w/ Tony), writing Lore, and assisting in what I could on both the main, discord, and short stories. At this point, outside of the computer- I also grew up (It sucks but it is what it is).

It has been over 3 years since Dno, 2 years Since Anilife and 1 year since Sevens. Turning my head around I see my childish actions, I see my literal former immature self, messing with others and causing a ruckus. But I was quite literally a child, it is not an excuse for my behaviour, I am putting it simply as a point to tell you, all, that I have grown. I understand, what I have done has been done and my actions affected the roleplay/gameplay of those around… So to unban me doesn’t erase what had been done, I’d understand that, but what I can say is that if I am let back in. My old self, what I have done in the past- will not happen in the present.

I left the community when the ban waves came out for alting, I was scared of getting caught- but I was also on track of moving out of my parents as well. My resignation was set for the next month but the alt wave expedited it and I left on a wim. In all honesty I would’ve stayed if it wasn’t for that, I had plans on rejoining. I still had notes on my whiteboard for what lore pieces I was going to draft when I got back and what I had to test/figure out with Gears of Industry. I was involved and I stepped out, with the hopes of stepping back in. However with me being exposed as an alt I knew that was not a possibility. I just proceeded to leave, and have been gone for one year now.
I've apologized in my last appeal and saw the vote. I came to an understanding to why the vote yielded the results that it did, but after asking some individuals and hearing what was said about me, and to why I should stay banned- I figured to appeal again to put down my point of view, for some stories/instances which I think were flying dangerously closer to disinformation.

No, I am not recanting my apology; I did what I did and I am still sorry for my actions- I am simply just putting forward some as clearance to what has been said on my behalf, during the ban discussion.

Firstly, with MadBluntz-- I have never-ever associated myself with that group/player. I am aware of who Dr Pepper 10 is and I was one of the individuals responsible for his bans (alts) on Terranova and another on Nebulous, as well as assisting in the stoppage of one of MadBluntz's harassment campaigns on community member ScarlettShadowz when I was staff, here. The fact that I was grouped with those individuals, as a claim or accusation is rather dull, I didn't assist them in any way what so ever, whether when I was a member of staff or even just a community member, I never associated with them in any way shape or form. I have been familiar with Dr Pepper since Nebulous and aware of how he got his notoriety, I've never associated with him or his group of trolls in in any capacity. I can recall being in the AfterHours discord, when I was invited by Equinox (Before he was removed + banned), I stayed in the server as I saw other community members in at the time (Neonity and Zeropants), but I left after seeing it wasn't what it was advertised as [Broadcasted as a place for WN members to play other games]. I made some comments about alting, as I was spiteful about my ban at the time- but that was all of what happened.

Secondly, the thoughts of me abusing my staff title. I didn't even abuse as staff, it wasn't why I joined staff, at all. I'm not going to say I was striving to be the Willard Terminator but I quite literally joined because I wanted to help the community out, abusing had never crossed my mind at all. I had a staff report against me, however it was denied as the community member made a false claim. I've been with Willard since it was a short stories/event server, playing during V1, the first iteration. I joined staff to be a staff member, to write lore, and help out in every way I could- assisting with even the short stories server on several occasions. I NEVER abused, there was never any plans for abusing, and to say I did wouldn't make much sense at all, I made it off my trial and was co-lead of a faction, I'd understand if there was claims of perhaps bias, but I always consulted a second person when making staff-faction decisions. I was went to prevent bias and never abused my staff position for my gain, or anyone elses.
    • Aforementioned report
Now as for Anilife. So, I was Anilife and I alted on Anilife because it was my only means to play the server/rejoin the community. I played a rebel mainly, but also joined CP faction and rose to the rank of i2 within 2-3 months due to my roleplay capabilities and revival of XRAY (Detectives at the time). I created documents/formats and made actual investments to put forward what was proper investigativeRP. This was something, all done in character- however it made people mad OOCly. From there it was my rebel character, given a Scar after some quests, by Robert I got people mad because my character was shooting too many cops? I didn't understand it at all, because OOCly I didn't actually go out of my way to minge/troll on Anilife, I received I believe 1 warning or a small ban for not doing a /me to loot a CP, but this was to avoid metabait (My character was isolated in a room with noone else, at all- no windows even and didn't want someone to just 'Hey lets go check the room next to us'). I never had the intention of minging, I was strictly in character on Anilife; I made some mistakes there but nothing was done with malintent.
  • I don't have logs of this, I attempted to get them but was unable to- but Neonity + Hoki, at the time, were trying to dewhitelist me, with a baseless metagame accusation which went nowhere. If I had access to the Discord logs, like I did when I was staff (When I saw this) I'd be able to provide them as evidence. It was a claim that I was using my CP character to target Player @nikalas but also that my i3/i2 promotions were due to OOC means with player Nezoose

Overall when it really comes down to it- its a broken game of telephone. I've been banned for 3 years I did something stupid, but not with the intent of runining experiences, I was a kid—immature, impulsive, and emotional.. But this is something I can say, was apart of past me. I grew up, matured and rejoined the community 3 years later. Early on in my ban, when my appeal was denied- I said and did some stupid things out of spite, childish but I was quite literally a child at the time. My actions were silly, because I was silly, however I can confirm that some of things said about me were not true- which is why I wanted to appeal again to clear what I could out of the way and see if I'd be able to come back, as a mature and understanding individual, as I was before leaving/on Sevens.

Thank you for your time,
Dno/Sevens
