I'm working through the old DS games that I never played as a kid, I just finished Platinum and have settled on Black 2 for my next (I owned White). I liked using guys I had never tried in my platinum run and am looking to do the same for this. I also want to box my starter for the first time since I'm not a big fan of this gen's.

Thank u <3

Ya ya I know, we’ve been through all this before, you have no reason to trust me, and I don’t blame you. I think I’m on my fifth chance or something on this iteration, and I’ve told previous captors similar stories about turning a new leaf and so on. But it’s time for my low-stakes criminal spree to come to an end. Note that I am not pearled, and am willing to turn myself in to the afflicted parties on the condition I’m not perma’d.

I saw that Civcraft 2.0’s 10-year deathaversary was not too long ago, and it sent me down a rabbit hole of memories and drama that consumed much of my life back then. I miss it. The friends, the laughs, the wars, the nation-building - it all came flooding back. And I realize I want a crack at that again.

Now for my actions on CivMC, there’s really no excuse. Every few months, I’d pop chests as recently as 7 hours ago. I’ve killed pets. I’ve murdered AFK denizens. I’ve griefed. And after some reflecting, I’ve come to the root cause: jealousy.

After the events on classics 2.0 and the whole Corvus debacle, I lost my standing in the community and a lot of my friends with it. I was jealous that the people who soundly defeated us, people I had called friends in the past, continued on their upward trajectory to ultimately redefine how this server type can be played. I was jealous of the robust discord communities that I never fully got to experience. I was jealous of all the talented individuals this current iteration has produced, who’s economic and political output past-iteration me could only dream of. I was jealous that my time on Civcraft, and Classics, were cut short by cold-war permapearling. These jealousies manifested into spite, which manifested into my actions: a chance to stay relevant, albeit hunted. I was never good at this whole raiding thing considering the amount of times I’ve been pearled to this point, but I was good at lying my way out of it. And for that, I truly am sorry (you know who you are).

I don’t expect many of you to understand the context behind this post or even know who I am, but I wanted to get this off my chest in a public setting to where any and all victims may see. I no longer want online personas of mine to stray from the person I strive to be irl. It’s a toxic mindset, even though block game actions have no repercussions on the real world (usually - thanks admins).

I have no material possessions after my latest ankle-breaking of WP bounty hunters, so I have no real reps to offer except end time and this cringe and hollow post. I’ll submit myself to the proper authorities within the next 24 hours. To those affected, small and large, know I’m sorry - and I hope in the future, you’ll see my name in a positive light.
