This player deserves an un-ban. Most of his bans were unjustified, in my view. TKing does not deserve a ban...it deserves a kick. If someone TK's over and over, then ban them for a hour or two, at most. The rules for this community are very important, but I think they are enforced rather heavy-handedly.
Some people may disgree with my thoughts, but that is ok. Here is something else to think about instead: Imagine, just for a moment, that you are a jerk of a crpg player. You love to play this game, like we all do, but for whatever reason (accident, revenge, cuz it gets you off..or a combo of those) you TK and TW sometimes, and say crazy things in chat. Imagine you do these things, but you still love and play this game as much as any other player. We all love this game. We play it all the time. We work on builds, get looms, kill the enemy, and fucking love every minute of it....TKer and straight-laced players alike. Imagine this situation, and now imagine you are banned until 2015. How would that make you feel...what thought processes would be evoked by this realization?
Imagine the other players are ganging up on you, telling you that you should never, and won't probably ever, play this game again. After a few days (or weeks) of being without CRPG, don't you think it would change your perspective a bit? Maybe help you realize what you had before, and what you had lost? Maybe wish for another chance when faced with a ban that lasts THREE YEARS? Imagine, no more crpg. If you are honest with yourself, even if this punishment was deserved, you know it would be a hard pill to swallow.
Maybe his essay wasn't he best. In fact, it wasn't. He admits his shortcomings in english, and even many people who can speak their native language fluently can't write very well in it. (I'm an english major, I know this first hand). Still, if you read what he DID write instead of what he DIDN't write, you will get the most important part: "CRPG is my drug."
Let's be honest, it is a kind of drug for all of us. When someone takes away an addict's drug, they will do anything to get it back. Sometimes, yes, they will lie or steal in order to get it back in the short term. The short term has been eliminated for this player already though (three year ban). If these options are no longer available, a drug addict will still find a way. They will find something, ANYTHING, to get it back...even reform their actions and be a better person.
Thankfully, CRPG is not as dangerous as a conventional drug, but it is just as enjoyable. I believe this player will do anything to get back into the game that we all know and love....even start following the rules. His own words admit to that, even if they are obscured by language barriers and inefficient written expression.
I am in favor of giving another chance. Alv, if you mess this up though, I'm not sure what will become of you.
