As you all know I'm the Founder and host of the inaugural Townie awards here on HT. last year we only had a measly 12 awards, Nicest Person, Best Builder, Best Overall Warp, Best Farm, Best Town, Best Shop (general), Best Shop (Specific use [i.e Armour shop]), Best Build (build Comp), Best Artist, Best XP farm, Best Skin (player IGN), and Most Helpful player.
Now to the point; I want the public's opinion on other topics of nomination. Please feel free to leave a comment with your idea, but please, make sure many people can be nominated, not just some.
Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): smp.hometownmc.com
Minecraft name: ny4g1t0
Reason for your ban: Chest theft
Who banned you: Trekkie
Why should you be unbanned: I can explain my situation. So, I had been using a Minecraft account that I didn't want to be using anymore, so I gave all of the items in my chests and such to my friend in the server. I left the server with my old account and then logged in with my new account, ny4g1t0 since my old user, n4g1t0 was used. I got all my stuff back from my friend and began to use the server like normal again. After voting I tried to log on the server and it says I was banned.
Why do you want to come back: Hometown is the only server I really play on and I enjoy playing on it with my friends and such. I have my own room and a cottage and a lot of artwork that I would like to admire as I usually do. I'm really happy playing on Hometown and I don't really know why I was banned but I would like to go back as soon as possible.

Minecraft name: ariaseirhoom
Reason for your ban: "Beacon base grief @resworld 1943 65 78"
Who banned you: AmbularD
Why should you be unbanned: The beacon that was placed at those coordinates in the res world pre-existed the farm that was built nearby. I am the owner of the beacon and the blocks associated, and the mine was griefed in my absence. There are tunnels underneath the beacon that i built, and it was plugged up by the owner of the farm who used my beacon for free, and in turn griefed my mines.
Why do you want to come back: I Play on the server on a regular bases, and i have many builds i genuinely enjoy to spruce up and i like to be a part of the community. I am wrongly banned, and i know this because i am the original owner of the beacon. My mineshaft was griefed first and my blocks were taken advantage of without permission
in addition, i know that it's probably not possible to believe my first statement that i am the owner of the beacon, as when i originally placed it down, it wasn't claimed. I felt it unnecessary to, since i've seen a lot of people's beacons prior who have placed in the res world and haven't claimed it. I'm not sure if it's possible to confirm it or not, but i'll just hope you could believe me on this one lol
I came back to the server just last night in fact, to the spot where my res world mines were setup to find that the mine was plugged up from the surface. I found the villager farm nearby somebody had created, and i assume they were the one who griefed my mine. I Felt it polite to instead of directly reporting it, to just place some signs asking them to not do that again, but i suppose it was just deemed inappropriate.
either way i hope this can get resolved cleanly. The beacon itself pre-dates the placement of the farm by a considerable amount, of which i personally laid it all down and i'm the owner of the beacons and the blocks.
Why should you be unbanned: To be honest, I was walking straight through to the end of tutorial and I didn't really read through the rules board. Then, I randomly jumped into those answers during the Q&A section. At first, I saw the big village on the surface, but then I walked into their base, seeing so many goodies, and I can't stop the greediness inside me Then I started taking their map arts down, eventually I found there are chests that actually not locked by magic, it tempted me even more. I'm apologies for the actions I made, and promise it won't happen again.
Why do you want to come back: I'm new, I haven't really explore on the server yet. And I wish I have a second chance

Reason for your ban: Failure to replant on /warp Wheat and /warp NetherWart
Who banned you: melaniebeedot
Why should you be unbanned: I believe I should be unbanned because I was in a hurry to deliver a package to a customer. I had no idea how to fully replant the nether wart farm and tried to replant the excess I had. I admit that I was lazy with wheat. I should have replanted when I did not.
Why do you want to come back: I want to come back because I am genuinely interested in playing Minecraft with this community and this is where I feel like I belong. I want to make a positive impact and did not realize that not replanting would lead to a ban. I hope you can forgive me.
New name is PancakeSavage. I used to be DarkAngel449 on the old HT server. I remember I had flying abilities and had a high rank. Any ideas of how to look back on it of what I was, just asking incase I was an AdvPlayer. Thanks!
Server i was banned on: hometownmc my Minecraft name: Sorvvu Reason for my ban: xraying Who banned me: trekkie
Why should i should be unbanned: because i really liked the server and i think i was wrong and i really wanna come back and play because this is the only thing I have fun on at the moment on my computer. Why i want to come back: because i think people deserve a second chance and also i had alot of fun even though i played for only like 3 days, but im really desperate to come back, i really hope a admin or a moderator understands what im feeling, and saying. Also i regret what i did and i will not do it again, xraying ruins the economy and makes it not fun for others, which to be honest i didn't think about at first, but now i know because thats why i was banned because xraying for netherite and diamonds is cheating, obviously, anyways i really really really wanna get unbanned, please i learned my lesson. If you're competing with someone else and win through cheating, is that fair to the other person: No its not fair, cheats give a advantage depending on what cheats you use, but if your using something like xray, in a pvp fight in my opinion that would not change anything as long as its in a open area. It's difficult to find diamonds, and many players spend hours mining for them. How do you think they would feel if you suddenly have way more than them but haven't put the work in to get them: They will feel that is unfair and it is, and they will get mad at you and probably report you, which is what your supposed to do i guess, but its not fair to use xray or any other mining cheats, it ruins the other players experience with the server and makes it not very fun for them. How could xraying and selling diamonds affect the owners of other shops: If you sold your cheated diamonds to a shop, that owner will also have alot of money compared to the competition and make the shop owner have way more budget to expand their shop, so its also unfair in my opinion.
Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): smp.hometown.com
Minecraft name: Dragon_Slayer909
Reason for your ban: Xray
Who banned you: NotchDox
Why should you be unbanned: I have played on HomeTown for a little while now, and I believe I have made many friends and have had many experiences, I was not the one who Xray’d, it was my good friend Insomniac_killer, he was leading me to where the diamonds where and I would collect them. I have also spent real money on this server and would love it if I could get a second chance. Sincerely- dragon_slayer909
