You have been permanently banned for ban evasion. Before we go any further with your appeal though, please explain why you have multiple forum accounts.
Hey, I was unaware that I was banned? I've just come back after a 5 year hiatus and was unable to login to two accounts of the five or six I had (mules). I can pm you the login IDs. I wasn't aware that I had received a ban so I made a forum thread on that account saying I forgot the details to them, and one of the GMs replied to the post saying that the username was case sensitive. I wasn't told that those accounts were actually blocked and based on that reply, I thought it may have been an accident. I ended up logging in to the other accounts. I also made two forum accounts as I wanted to change the name of the original.
Seems a rather odd explanation for the forum account, given that you posted on the old one after you created the new one. https://royals.ms/forum/members/balenciaga.19705/ You had quite a few more accounts, including the ones containing 'LYBB', 'Baienciaga', and 'PlayBoi', which were banned for major vote abuse.
I only remember having two accounts, and just like having several mules, I like having different account names/identities. When exactly was I vote abusing? I remember being very conscious about voting once per day
You were banned for vote abuse in 2018. That ban was a permanent one that applied to you as a person, and you did not appeal it. Then in 2020, you created your current set of accounts which were recently banned for ban evasion.
I must've stopped playing at that point, but I was not aware of being banned until now, otherwise I definitely would have made a ban appeal. I had no recollection of vote abusing. I knew how strict this server was and I made a conscious effort to vote only ONCE per day.
Is it possible to PM you directly for faster responses? Pretty bummed about this situation considering I’ve been consciously following the rules since I’ve started this game and just don’t understand how I could be banned for vote abuse?
Ban Appeals are public for transparency reasons, we cannot accept appeals sent by DM (they will be ignored) I understand your frustration, but we also seek your kind understanding that GMs are occupied with other Ban Appeals + Reports and won't be unable to prioritize your case over other Ban Appeals
Your story thus far makes little sense. You were unable to access your old accounts (but could still obviously access your old forum accounts), and so you innocently created new accounts without wanting to get the old ones back or even considering the possibility that they were banned? And you gave a completely different explanation for the multiple forum accounts thing when the obvious flaw in your initial story was pointed out. Please link to the post. What does "it" refer to in this sentence? What do you think was an accident? That your accounts were banned...?
The reason why I created new accounts was because the original ones were a Nightlord and Bishop iirc. I didn't push for recovering those accounts because I wanted to start a Buccaneer at that time, and because it had been a few years already, I just wanted a fresh start. I had no ill intentions to create a new account to avoid the bans. I assumed it was an accident, meaning I thought it may have been a system error or it was an auto ban triggered by something I might've said in-game. Like I said, I was very conscious of not ever voting more than once. I know how strict the server was. The original explanation for the multiple forum accounts still reamins the same, I wanted to change the names as well as create new identities, not for any particular reason, I just like to have different alias.
You are welcome to appeal the ban on your original accounts if you think you did not vote abuse, but you will need to try and remember the IGNs.
Here is the link to the post: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/lost-account-details.246572/. Tim replied to me and based off his response, I had no reason to think that I was banned. I just didn't pursue it and continued to log in to the other accounts.
