I wouldn't know what the deciding factor was, but I do know I was absentminded at the time. I think it was a mix of boredom and carelessness after I had to part with a roleplaying group whose leaders and I worked hard to build up ever since May. I reached a point where I didn't care about the consequences and it eventually led me to this hacking spree. Try not to think of it as an excuse, because I have none. I'm not proud of what I did, but that's what happened and I've been trying to put it behind me ever since.
I'd like to get back in the server to show my true worth and be remembered for the good I did instead of the damage I caused. With the help of many of my friends, I'll attempt to raise the bar in terms of roleplay and become once again a positive influence and a role model to newcomers. If the decision does go in my favor, I'll know this is likely the last chance I'll be given in a long time.
