Discord mod checking in, unless this happened in the official PW server (it didn't the logs say so) there is nothing I can do. This is a matter for Discord's Trust and Safety Team which oversees their platform globally.

Ok well I kind of did not know the ban could be permanent
tl;dr your not sorry for what you did. Just that you got caught doing it and it got you banned.

You basically 'asked' to banned and now you want to be unbanned? What is my assurance that you won't further harass the staff team?

I don't see any proposed solution that would successfully curtail the need for moderation. The current approach took a good suggested change to beige from a mechanical perspective and added in a caveat based on moderation worries that have nothing to do with the mechanical functionality. Furthermore, the caveat does not fully address the moderation issue in question which is slot filling. Defensive slot filling can be just as much of a thing even with these changes, perhaps even moreso because it's the only way to get beige time. The decision to worsen a mechanic based on some one-off moderation issue is frankly ridiculous. Figure out a way to deal with slot filling that doesn't punish normal players.
Also bank hiding isn't a "grey area tactic", it's a necessary part of the ecosystem of PnW. Metaphorically, you can't kick over every single sand castle on the beach and expect people to still want to build.
edit: also yeah please remove auto-accepting peace.
Both slots and beige are broken. Both are constantly abused, it is not some one off issue. There is some major scandal related to it every single major conflict. Beige is meant to be a final fall back state that you do not want to be in. There only to prevent a rolling in to oblivion nothing more nothing less. It should always always be better to avoid being beiged. At no point in a game should strategy be based on hoping your enemy wins in a battle. Yet such is what beige is currently.

Good idea in theory but in practice as someone mentioned this could be easily abused to simply close off your defensive slots which just opens up a new problem of abused mechanics.
Just allowing all wars to give beige time would solve the issue. Slot filling, which seems to be Alex's main worry, is a moderation issue and unfortunately cannot be addressed via mechanical changes.
Make all losses give beige time, make all beiges give loot and deal infra damage, even expired wars.
I fundamentally disagree with the bolded part.
Setting aside straight up cheating such as multis and exploits. Alex should never need to intercede into the actual gameplay. Any place he does need to indicates a failing of the mechanics. In this instance without Deus Admin the meta would be slotfill everything and stare. Which is obviously not workable, but that does not make banhammer a good fix. Here that fix has created the 'toe the line meta' in which various parties on all sides have pushed the limits of what they can get away with on everything from slot filling to bank hiding. Its lose lose lose for everyone involved. The only proper way to fix these kind of issues is to mechanically shift the meta so grey area tactics aren't appealing anymore.
And, Yes I'm a mechanical purist.

>Should have been perm banned for evading suspension with a multi by their own admission.I'll give you that the forums appeal process or lack thereof is whack. But your way of addressing it leaves much to be desired. If anything stunts like this make mod teams not want to deal with appeals.

After 5 years you still have no official way to repeal a warn says a lot. The rule breaking refers to you not looking into Nokia, North Point & co, as well as you & your own moderation staff excluding Wiki mods, @Ripper, & @Epi.
As any reasonable reading of the bolded section includes Discord mods, I'm going to politely demand you produce evidence to support it or retract the statement.

As a war between TLE and my alliance The Blitzers is near i am announcing i am staying neutral in this conflict and after this war i will remain the same but i will still raid inactive nations but if I happen to attack someone in an alliance it is not for political reasons and before sending a counter against me i kindly ask to please send me a DM asking me to stop attacking said nation and i will stop attacking that nation and i will leave it alone until the time limit hits later i will switch to econ as a more profitable and sustainable way of gaining income
points covered
- staying out of alliance wars
- a more peaceful method to have me stop raiding nations in an alliance
- Clton’s future
Sincerely Cltan Head Ambassador Jack Taya
This folks is how you become blacklisted from any alliance worth anything.

Can't help but notice he's still posting. You at least revise your vetting procedures after this.

Aren’t we trying to increase the player base?
A noble goal, but sometimes educating noobs requires some tough love. As it is, given many might describe his current actions as treason, the relatively mild bullying the community is dishing out is not uncalled for.

Thus said literally everyone making an appeal ever. That you have admitted you did wrong is a step in the right direction, it in itself is not sufficient. Nor is a promise to do better. What would make this hypothetical 'last chance' any better then your previous chances?

Normally staff does not ban over what occurs in DMs, there is ofc the occasional exception and SS23 is well with in his right as an admin to make one. Now that circumstance would normally make me at least more willing to sign off on an unban. But that is subject to your previous conduct, so lets take a look at that. Then there is the not small matter of your initial appeal method being to 'hire' people to spam the mods; Which by the way you haven't seemed to have paid them yet, which is rather mean of you given they risk being banned too.
There is about 60 such records between manual warns and automod. So looking at the above, why exactly should you be unbanned?
Oh btw you don't get to choose who the appeal goes to. You have to convince all of the mods.

Your case is being reviewed, this may take some time as staff deliberates and awaits alex's 2 cents

the dark theme was @Dr Rush and malone iirc. That's why it's so bad, as Alex would never implement a dark mode on his own :^)
I mean with a newer better monitor that is actually color accurate I kinda have to agree, but in fairness my plan wasn't to get something perfect. It was get a framework and sheepy to add themeing support so it could be built on by someone with better css.

War Name Vote Thread
in Orbis Central
Posted · Edited by Dr Rush
Yes I'm very late. RL been very stressful and I honestly kept forgetting about it.
Anyways for clarity this is only for the major war that being the TCW rolling. UPN's rolling doesn't meet the threshold of a major war and therefore a war name vote. That being said if ya'll want I can open a separate thread for a vote on that otherwise it'll just be named whatever the page is already named probs.
Pick the ones you like, vote will close in 3 days and then topish contenders will go for a runoff.
