Team PvP is part of the experience, especially in heated combat. If you just start swinging at anything that moves, you're likely gonna kill a teammate before you kill an enemy. Gives the players an excuse to know the names of their team. However, intentional TKs should be autobanned for 1 hour, i.e. before the walls drop. Team chat would be very useful, and I'm sure your adminly powers would still allow you to see all of the chat. And finally, if you aren't already doing so, perhaps give out some minor prizes to the winning team each time eg. 2-5 iron ingots (NOT diamonds, considering how often people are playing).

Why were you banned?: Trolling, spamming, harassing of administration.
Why should you be un-banned?:
-----Firstly, during the event that lead up to me being banned, the original spam/trolling, I did not intend for it to be offensive in any way. I was attempting to create an ironic situation by mimicking the actions of less-respected players earlier that day. I realize now that my actions were probably not taken at the best of times, and that you (Sgt/Neath) weren't having the best or easiest of days.
-----Second, while my actions the day of the ban were both immature and regrettable, I feel that I had grown at least *some* respect from the community and staff of Devcore, and that prior to that day, I had not preformed many overly irresponsible actions. I know that at least one person liked to have me around, as he's said so on this forum recently. And personally, I'd like to come back.
-----Third, while I realize that the removal of my "Mod" status was most likely just at the time, I do feel it was rather premature. Perhaps Devcore simply doesn't need moderators now, seeing as it's administration staff has grown to 4 fairly active users, but prior to my banning, even while we had 4 admins, there was still a great deal of time when no administration appeared to be on. Perhaps you were vanished, perhaps you weren't. In any event, however, whether you need or want a moderator back is, as always, completely your decision.
-----Fourth, I realize now that my actions were rather "against policy," and hardly set a good example for my fellow players. I look upon that day with some shame, and regret my decisions fully. I do however feel a permanent ban was rather harsh for the actions I preformed, but that's not really the point I'm trying to convey. I behaved like a child half my age that day, immaturely and without any thought of the future, or any consequences my actions would result in. I would LIKE to come back to Devcore, regardless of my rank or "power." Both are simply extra bows and ribbons on an already great package. I have yet to find a server like Devcore in the aspects most crucial to my preferred style of play, i.e. no lag, "hardcore," and a great, active, thriving community.
-----Fifth, and finally, Sgt said I could come back if I submitted a ban appeal. So unless he lies, I want back in. LOLJK.
I hope the administration will consider this ban appeal application carefully, and acknowledge the positions and fallacies of both parties that day. In conclusion, please let me come back. Thank you for your time.
GODDAMNIT **** YOU NEATH BORED LINK SGT WHOEVER I DIDN'T XRAY. EVEN THO U HAVE TONS OF STUFF SAYING I DID I DIDN'T. I WAS JUST STRIP MINING DIAMONDS ARE EASY TO FIND AND I RAN
INTO THIS GUY'S BASE. **** ALL OF YOU YUR STUPID.
Unbanned, you will not return to your original mod position, however, you are still in a better position than most others.
Sorry, were having some troubles with reservations plugin. We are going to contact the plugin developer.
Ok.
Shieya has been a member of DevCore before both of you. She is more of a trial mod however. She is just easy to contact and a mature person.
I know this, did I ever criticize you for appointing shieya? The answer is no. She'll be a great moderator, I was just stating that she was the new one. You misinterpreted what I had said.
Unbanned, you will not return to your original mod position, however, you are still in a better position than most others.
1. Thank you.
2. I don't have the time at the moment to rejoin, due to circumstances beyond my control. However, the "better position" begs me to ask: Will I still be able to add people to regular? No offense, but you guys can be a bit slow at it.

No I don't think you and I will be Mods again ( ), and Shieya can add people to regulars :P.

Just beat a game of the walls solo against many other teams... Holy ****!
My heart is beating like crazy, great game to everyone I massacred! (Aren't I so modest?)
Well anyway, I have some suggestions for the walls that could be great, or really stupid.
1: I was thinking, to add more variety, there could be different biome arenas, so people don't memorize everything and the map doesn't become so stale, and people have less waiting time to get into games (It hasn't for me yet, but it can become like that)
2: Add another arena, similar to the one we have, that can only have 1 person per team. This way, you can fight alone if you want to, and not share with others (I'm greedy ) this would require some tweaking with the plugin, but it cant really result in much more than a few changed variables, and if it must be in a separate class, just copy/paste what you've done and modify it a bit.
3: Add a game type with one wall, between two huge teams pitted against eachother. This would require ALOT of changes to the plugin however :/ . But if you chose to do this, I would add more resources to the world, and more time to set up, so people can build huge ass castles with TNT cannons and rain hell down upon the enemies
4: Add a donor perk for $30 donors that allows them to CHOOSE their team, if said team includes other donors, of any status (sponsor, or donator) This could cause controversy, but if it generates revenue to keep the server running, I'm all for it, and I may even donate more myself.
These are just a few suggestions, I'd say they're your choice to implement if you feel you have the time (obviously), but if its too annoying to tweak the plugin, at least add in the new arenas, cause that would be enough in and of itself. I hope you acknowledge these, as I'm sure many players would love to see them implemented as well. It could be loads of work, but hey, it would be cool as ****.
Anyway, thanks for hosting DevCore/The Walls for us, its the best server I've ever played on(I've said this waaaay too much before, and I'm kinda sucking up but oh well, I mean it ), and I'll surely play more.

You should write a ban appeal, if you missed the template on the forum, its this:
