Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP

Minecraft name: JoeChiMinh

Reason for your ban: Giant Inappropriate Build

Who banned you: Ender (about 2 months ago)

Why should you be unbanned: First, I am very sorry for the large build I made as I forgot that this was a family-friendly server and that it might be a bad influence for other players. In hindsight, I realize how immature the shape was nonetheless the size of it. I believe that I should be unbanned because I have changed and realized my mistakes. I had a lot of fun on the server and I don't think the childish side of me should ruin my experience.

Why do you want to come back: I spent some time building a really cool house and had a lot of fun playing with my friends. I want to continue building my home and delete the innapropriate build so I don't ruin anyone else's experience.

This is the second post I've made here is the first if you wanna see that,

The server I was banned on (SMP/Discord): smp.hometownmc.com

My Minecraft name: NameSakeJake

Reason for your ban: Xray

Who banned you: melaniebeedot

Why should you be unbanned:  to be honest I've never really gotten off on a good start with the server. I got banned the day I joined and regret what I did ever since. Back then for me wasn't a good time and it wasn't in a good state. My friend recommended me the server a long time ago and said we should play together. This was back when I first got Minecraft mainly to play on the server with my friend. I was new to the game and extremely overwhelmed. Back then I didn't have the time or dedication and self-discipline to do anything. I have learned from my mistakes and won't do it again. After I got banned I was in a panic and did not know what to do so I got scared and copied someone's Ban appeal. These things just added up to make matters worse. From then I improved my self and am capable of doing things the right way.

Why do you want to come back:  I want to come back to be able to add to the server. After I was banned I never really got the chance to play with my friend on there either. Ever since then I felt bad and felt like I let them down. I've met more people who played on the server and from what it sounds like they've had an incredible time on there.  Like I said before I just want a second chance to be able to be with my friends and add to the server. I'm okay with whatever happens next but I was in the wrong for doing everything I did before. I hope you'll consider this after everything I've done.

Thanks
Jake

Problem:

Diamonds have been used previously as a commodity currency, because it fits the criteria for one: low availability, high usefulness. Any kid with an xray script go straight for diamonds as they join, that's already the understood norm. Diamond gears would wear and break over time, and that helps fight inflation.


But update 1.14 essentially kicked diamonds off the throne as the ultimate commodity. Because now, diamond gears are so easily acquired from villagers. All it takes is literally a few stacks of pumpkins/melons to get a complete set of diamond gears by trading. As of now, single diamonds have little usage anymore. The only uses for diamonds now are: enchanting tables (already available in lots of public places), jukebox (1 diamond per jukebox, not a highly sought after item), and fireworks (ok this might be useful)

For servers based on competition, diamonds still hold some sort of value. But for us, a cooperative server, alternative resources are already easily accessible by all.

What can replace diamonds as the currency backing?

As of now, the best contender would be emeralds. Diamond gears and lots of useful items can be easily acquired by emeralds, making it function perfectly as a commodity. However, emerald's issue is the high production rate, therefore very susceptible to deflation.

But 1.16 introduces the perfect replacement, netherite. Truly limited and not easily farmable, production rate is controlled by the reset of resource nether. Also functions as a sought after commodity to upgrade diamond gears. Surely after some time, it will be abundant, but demand will also rise with supply.

Conclusion/Proposal

Netherite ingots should replace diamonds after 1.16 update to be the backing standard for currency

Once there is only 4 Players left alive the DeathMatch will begin. Each player will receive their own /warp to the arena via /msg.  We also have a way for everyone to spectate the games after they die! You can use /warp spectate to get to the map and you can use /warp deathmatchspectate to get to the deathmatch arena (these /warps are only used by spectators)

 A big thanks to our sponsors /warp beltopia, /warp cavemart and /warp Jlos for donating the prize money and /warp catchall for donating all the potions! Go check out their warps! If you'd like to sponsor the next Hunger Games you can send me a DM on discord or ingame.

Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): hometown

Minecraft name: EliMcNassar

Reason for your ban: taking to much from starter kit
Who banned you: Illogical
Why should you be unbanned: i am not going to lie. i did know what i was doing. i had just started and i needed resources. 
what i did was wrong and it wont happen again.

Why do you want to come back: i love the server and the community.

I was just wondering because I wanted to check up and see if one of my old friends who got banned years back ever made an appeal and did return without me knowing.

Code:

So after both I and the co-base member that I have were gone for a while. We were both coping with the new coronavirus situation. When I came back our base had been griefed. The map on the wall was gone as well as all of our cows except one. The colored sheep that we had were gone. The rabbits were gone. And the two mooshrooms we had were also gone. In my room of our base I had several armor stands with enchanted armor that are now gone. Can somebody please help get at least the map and my armor back?

Minecraft name: Mojo_Dojo_Man

Reason for your ban: Disrespect

Who banned you: IllogicalSong

Why should you be unbanned: I'm genuinely sorry about anything I said on the server that was seen as rude or disrespectful. I realize I was being extremely immature and wasn't thinking about how the other person could feel based on what I said. I definitely recognize what I said was wrong, and want to return to the server and be beneficial to it. I will definitely think before I speak, and make sure to follow all the rules. 

Why do you want to come back: I really miss playing on the server with everyone. I was in the process of building a really cool structure with some of my friends, and I want to be able to continue creating it and opening it with them. I think this is a very welcoming and fun server compared to a lot of different ones, and I've really missed being on it.

Minecraft name: glowkai

Reason for your ban: Taking Private Crops

Who banned you: Rowebot

Why should you be unbanned: I had let my sister play on my account for a few hours and since she didn't know the rules I'm assuming she broke a player's crops. Regardless, I'm very sorry for having taken anything from any player, as I understand that each person's property should never be stolen. I've definitely learned a lesson and will not make the same mistake again. Also, since I started playing on the server I have never broken the rules, and I will make sure this time is my last. 

Why do you want to come back: I really love this server! I've played on it since 2018, and it's genuinely the only reason I log onto Minecraft every day. I am also in the process of building a store and I really want to be able to open it and continue playing on the server throughout the year.
