Let me pull back the curtain a bit to the man behind the name. I am a 41 year old autistic guy with back and neck injuries from an accident several years ago. Doing things that are repetitive has a calming effect on me, especially after a day of dealing with normal people. Minecraft, and especially road building, is very repetitive.

If it weren't for the various servers I've been on, I'd probably be a pain-pill dope fiend. By putting my mind elsewhere for a time, I don't notice it. It's akin to meditation.

Last night, several things kinda snowballed into a mess, half of my own making.

1. Unnamed Mod, I'm genuinely hurt and insulted that you would take the word of some damned noobling over mine. If you clicked the footings of the bridge, you'd have seen that I was there 10 hours before said noob put his wooden shack up. I have a picture I can't seem to attach. Hrm.
   
2. Un-named player, I have only one word for you: Lazy. You “claimed” a chunk of plains by putting down cobblestone with no improvements to the area, no signs, and no buildings and you had two weeks to do something. As far as I knew, it was just a cobblestone marked path to the nearby large complex. When I claimed my village, I was told I had to claim it by building a fence. I made a large fence with many signs. Those were my instructions from a different unnamed mod than above.
   
3. The only claims that I knowingly got too close too were players who have been gone longer than 7 days. They only had a crappy wooden or dirt house, and simply stopped. This, I will admit, was wrong.
   
4. The final straw was arguing with a Mod regarding #2's claim. I was under instructions from an Admin who when I asked “How far do you want me to go?” they said to the world border. Now aforementioned Mod says in essence “Stop building roads”. I cursed and quit. With apologies, I did not mean to curse at said Mod.
   

I'm still angry. I don't know if I can continue with this server. I do this for relaxation purposes. To quote the old guys down the road “Dude, yer harshing my buzz”.

There's a road spur that I had started on the eastern road that might be able to get around the ocean and make it to the eastern world border. There was no claims out that way until the extreme hills area. If anyone wants to do that, go ahead.

For the claim I crossed by accident, pay someone to move it. I may or may not return.

For the violations, I hearby call for punishment. I need to be banned for not less than four weeks. If I'm still angry, I won't return.
