Why, might you ask, am I sitting here in the wee hours of the morning, so solidly constructing an essay on this server? Well, It may have to do with my passion for punishment, but that is besides the point.
I have been banned.
But JFX, you are such a fine young fellow, why would you ever be banned?!
It seems I was banned for belittling an admin's greatest triumph.
But first, The fore-story, just so that this must be read and responded to.
I have been playing this server for naught but two days. However, I have felt the ups and downs, from fisticuffs to diamond blades, and raw meat to the finest gilded apples. This server has a unique draw as compared to my typical fare, in the faction system.
I love the faction system.
However, it has come to light some very serious problems with this joyous addition to Minecraft.
First, I would like to cite the USSR and Spartans complaints as completely legitimate and well-founded. The RMM faction was suddenly able to take land which was before untakeable, claim land which was before unclaimable, and generally be giant dicks. In doing so, they left much evidence of this illegal action. Even now, if you use the fMap command, you will see RMM buildings in the "warzone" territory. This was the basis of the argument tonight.
Now, my good friends, you ask me,
"JFX, but the solution is so simple! The admins will simply fix the territory boundaries and life will go on!"
Sadly, this is not the case. Due to some twisted, dark, and devilish deceiving, It seems that the reason RMM gained this new land had something to do with illegal admin favoritism.
Ahhhh, and here comes the best part.
This, again, is proven in the Logfiles, which Echo refuses to unveil.
So, back to the point at hand.
We have JFX, this marker represents him. '*'
We have RMM, #
Spartans, &
And USSR, @
Which are vaguely arranged in something like this.

I, luckily, found a piece of unclaimed land inside of the new RMM territories.
This is how I became involved in this massive squabble.
After a short fight, I lost my terroitory to Spartans, who then attempted to give it back, at which point RMM stole it.
Now we have this.
@@@@&&&&&
@&&&&&&&%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Get the idea?
I then began to get involved in the argument about why RMM had this new land, and why Echo would not release the information on the original claimer etc etc.
During this argument, Echo unjailed a jailed person who had finished his time. He then proclaimed "+1 person helped"
I explained that he was an admin, and asked him if he wanted a cookie.
I am now banned.
So, as far as I can tell, I was banned because Echo is attempting to protect RMM interests while avoiding incriminating himself or others as the cause of this fiasco. I was banned because I belittled an immature admins necessary actions in his course of duty, which he considered to be above and beyond the call. I was banned due to my inability to such a massive injustice go.
I therefore do not believe he should be an admin any longer.
Other things discussed included Faction member limits and such. I would recommend looking at 73554b's posts on the matter.
For now, This is my ban appeal request. More of an informative research paper, but whatever.
I'm going to bed.
