So Sorry.
Absolutely, I can write you an appeal that leans into the over-the-top style of a stereotypical Youtuber apology video while still making a genuine request for another chance
To the admins,
I've spent a lot of time reflecting on what happened, and I owe everyone an apology.
When I logged on that day, I made the decision to blow up Vgroid. At the time, I convinced myself it was funny, that it would create an interesting round, or that it wasn't really that big of a deal. Looking back, I can see how selfish that mindset was. Vgroid wasn't just a big rock in space—it was a symbol of stability, of community, of everything we all take for granite.
I've had time to sit with my actions, and I realise I wasn't just destroying a geological formation. I was breaking the trust that the admins and other players place in everyone to make the game enjoyable. Watching the explosion in hindsight doesn't make me laugh anymore. It makes me ask myself, "Who was I in that moment?" And, more importantly, "Who do I want to be moving forward?"
I know some people will say this apology came because I got banned. That's fair. But being banned forced me to reflect on my behaviour in a way I hadn't before. I've learned that every action has consequences, and sometimes those consequences are several thousand tonnes of shattered asteroid.
I don't expect forgiveness overnight. I don't expect you to forget what happened. All I can do is acknowledge my mistake, apologise sincerely, and promise that if I'm given another chance, I'll respect the server rules and the work that goes into making rounds enjoyable for everyone.
I've changed. I've grown. I've looked deep within myself. And after hours of soul-searching, I've come to one unavoidable conclusion:
Maybe blowing up the giant rock wasn't my brightest idea.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Whether you decide to unban me or not, I appreciate the opportunity to apologise, and I'm sorry for the disruption I caused.
