The machine is where the pointless button used to be. Since my strip mine is my alibi for the items, and everyone's just going to assume I nuked and couldn't have possibly mined that far, this is falling on deaf ears already.
To get nearly 8 stacks of Iron Ingots, you would need nearly 8 stacks of Iron Ore. Your stripmine is nearly about 1500-1600 blocks long, and it's two blocks tall, which makes the entirety of all blocks in that tunnel over 3000, which would mean that about 500 of those blocks would have had to have been Iron Ore. When I traversed the entire mine, I found little evidence that you would have mined up any ores on your way, and even then there weren't enough spots where you could have mined up all the ore you managed to get in materials. The chances of you being able to procure over 500 Iron Ingots from 3000 blocks is quite small given the way Iron is generated.
The same goes for the coal you got as well, which you would have needed an extra near 500 blocks of, this is obviously not counting any coal you may have spent on torches or fuel, especially considering you were the one that placed a rather large amount of torches surrounding the spawn and Lumbridge/Cliffwood, so given that, it's about 600 blocks of coal ore that would have had to have been mined in that one mine, unless you'd like to raise the counter-argument that you went to another mine, what would have given you that incentive when you have an entire mine rich with ores?
You also have over 2000 cobblestone on top of the over 500 dirt and other stones. Unless you have a counter-argument that you mined elsewhere and you would state where specifically you mined, you have too many items compared to the amount of blocks mined in your stripmine.
I also never questioned where you got the wheat from, the farm you have is quite noticeable. I was just surprised at the sheer amounts of seeds and wheat you got, which would take quite the long time to get normally, even if you had a farm of that size.
The fact though that you went and mined over 3000 blocks in a straight direction and had skipped over several caves and ravines if questionable, because if you were mining for ores specifically, you wouldn't just skip over two of the most ore enriched generated places.
This is what pisses me off the most about this situation. I played the game right, and have a mine to show for it and I still get suspiscion because of how well I did. Look at the mine, and compare it to any other strip mine. There's no differences. I followed a line and mined out the walls when I found ores. What would be weird is if I found a bunch of gold and diamond out of proportion to the iron and coal.
Actually what is weird is that you mined in a straight direction, mining over 3000 blocks, with what you said was stone picks, skipping over ravines and caves. That's weird. Your stripmine is also not very comparable to others as most other stripmines go in a straight direction for a certain amount of blocks, and then branch off down other corridors to cover more possible locations for ores. They don't go in a straight line infinitely.
You keep saying I could have done these things, but my ban reason says that I've been caught doing these things. The only thing that's true in this is that I have a long strip mine and would have needed to load a bunch of chunks, but that's just by consequence of having a long mine.
I would say that would be a mistake on my part but it's really hard to deny that you have a hacked client. Plus, it is unnecessary to have a stripmine that spans over 1500 blocks long when you only need one that spans around 100, and then branches off in several directions.
I have a diamond pick in my inventory, but that's not what I used anyway. I use cobble stone picks to mine everything they can and use iron picks to mine higher ores so they don't go to waste. I don't know what you mean by lava and obsidian because I just have a water bucket to cross over lava pools.
First, why didn't you use the diamond pick, and why use stone picks to mine 3000 blocks? That's a long time of mining. In fact, it's so long, let us look at some math.
It takes about 0.6 seconds for a stone pick to mine through a stone block. That would mean you would have had to have used roughly 23 stone pickaxes as a single stone pickaxe has only 132 uses before it breaks. The time it took you to mine that entire stripmine was 30+ hours, not counting any breaks you would have taken to go and craft new pickaxes and find the materials to do so, to farm, or to do anything. You took about a day to mine that stripmine, skipping over all of the ravines and caves you came by.
This uncovers something new to the story, it feels almost like a Phoenix Wright trial. What are your intentions with that stripmine, because you obviously wouldn't skip over caves or ravines if you were truly were mining for materials, and you wouldn't mine in a straight direction if you were searching for materials either.
Firstly, I don't have to mine obsidian. But even if I did to get through my mine, you can see I have mined Obsidian and enough to make a structure next to my house. I also have andesite in a chest, but I throw excess out because I don't use it and it fills my inventory. I do have diamonds in my inventory an a diamond block in an ender chest. Again few enough to where it's in proportion to the amount of other ores I mined.
This goes back to the first part of my post where I discuss the amount of ores you would have had to have mined in just that stripmine alone. The probabilities of you being able to mine all of those ores out of 3000 blocks is almost nonexistent.
I don't think the server rules are of any authority of what I may and may not have on my computer. Sure you can say I can't use it on your server, and I haven't, but you have no right to say what I can and can't have.
What you have is a hacking tool that isn't allowed on almost every server. Unless you have some inane reasoning to why you would have a hacking tool installed, you shouldn't have it in the first place. Might I ask what other things you do in Minecraft besides go on the server where you would need NODUS?
I just can't believe how poorly thought out your reasoning for banning me is. You have no evidence I have anything to do with stolen items, so you lump me into suspicion anyway even though the source of where I got my items are right in front of you.
What a way to twist my words. I never implied you were the one that stole the items, I just so happened to be searching for stolen items when I came across what you had created. In no way is your ban reasoning related to stolen items, it's related to the fact that you have so many items, more than dragonfan has, and he's been on the server a lot longer than you have. The probabilities of you being able to get that many items out of 3000 blocks is extremely low, especially considering you didn't really search the caves or ravines you went plowing through.
You say I don't have items that I do have, and make wild guesses. This is exactly the same as what happened before with no actual proof for me to be kicked out.
What did items did I say you didn't have that you do have? And that didn't happen before? You were never banned on the original server, you were only demoted because you were harassing players. Don't put words into my mouth.
Just assumptions, guesses, and misplaced suspicion is enough for me right? And I don't think you're alone accusing me of this.
Keep in mind, and I have said this TWICE so far, that your ban is temporary while this is sorted out. I would ban you permanently for having NODUS but I haven't, you are only temporarily banned because it is expected that you have used it and we don't want you to be using it again.
The way I figure this all went down is that you noticed all this, mentioned it, and Mista_Epic/Zanian blamed me right away and you talked it over without me being there.
The way it went over is that I noticed it, talked to Zanian about it and we investigated, agreed that it was pretty suspicious and I mentioned that I knew you had used NODUS on the original server, and I temporarily banned you while I investigated as I knew if I hadn't done so otherwise you wouldn't have answered to my questions as much and act so vocal about it. Mista_Epic was accusing you of things, but I didn't listen to him at all. Everything I did was all on my own terms.
Am I far off when I say that? If not, you should reconsider your approach to handling situations for when there's actual problems.
Everything has been handled in the way that I see fit, the only thing that needs to be done is a civil discussion on the matter. Your ban is only temporary until things can be sorted out, there are too many questions I have to ask about your stripmine and what you plan on doing with all of the items that you aren't even using.
inb4 all of this is either ignored or my ban reason just changes to duping items to find another way to keep me banned
If you keep up with that negative attitude then you might be banned 4 lyfe.
EDIT: Let me on and I can show you just how hacked my items are by giving you an in-depth tour of my mine, farm, and also evidence (rare around here) that I didn't use Nodus since the server has been up:

An in-depth tour is not needed. Plus showing me images of two folders means nothing.

I was writing my reply over the course of this last hour, I had to go and get something to eat during this so I took a half hour break. I'm not just going to throw words at the screen hoping it makes sense, I am going to take my time replying to every bit of your post.
