I Bleed Duke Blue Requesting a Pardon

Hello again Sythe. It has been a while.

I am currently trying to get into contact with Time to Buy to pay back what I owe him in full. The loan was originally set to mature in January 2016 - This was 3B RSGP (RS3). There was a secondary loan that was 900M and 300 dollars. The 300 has already been paid off. This leads the outstanding debt at 3900M RS3. I will be in contact with TTB very shortly on rates and how to go about paying it back - but I do plan to pay it back in full, all at once. Not piecemeal. Let me add that I do not want this pardon to begin being voted on until TTB is fully paid back and I have no outstanding debts remaining.

Now, some background information - I am sure a lot of you are wondering where I have been. Or maybe not. Time seems to melt away for us all, perhaps I am already forgotten in the sands of time. Apparently I have been gone so long that a new forum layout has taken shape.

To outline why I have not pardoned in almost 8 months - Quite simply, I was focused on real life. I was in my last year of school and needed to start focusing on what was important, which was getting my degree and finding a real job to justify spending easily six figures for an education. Now, this may seem irrelevant, but it's not. I had to take control of my living situation after my roommates flamed out of college / their leases. I was left to rent a single apartment which greatly ate into my expenses. Because of this, my loan to TTB obviously stalled. However, contact was never ceased with him and I always made it a habit of hopping on Skype every now and again to catch up with him and my old Sythe buddies. That is why I have now returned with the capital to dissolve the loan entirely and hopefully regain entry onto Sythe to start reconstructing my tarnished reputation. TTB was, as always, very understanding and accommodating of my situation. Some would argue too accommodating, but I think to my credit I have made great strides in correcting my past transgressions. Many people say they will pay their debts back and never do. It's so much easier to turn a blind eye to it and put Sythe in the rearview mirror permanently. I do remember saying I would never try to pardon but that was my deflated, depressed self with that negative mindset. To not at least attempt to rectify character flaws is immature, childish, and petty. That is why I ultimately decided, shortly after my ban, that I would A: Absolutely fix any debts and clear the air / rectify any past mistakes and B: Come back to Sythe, if I were allowed a second chance.

Ultimately, I do not wish to put Sythe on the backburner forever, being relegated to just another Ex-Moderator scammer in an unfortunately long line of them. Even if this pardon is denied I will at least be a debt free banned member. And I will pop in every 6 months to try again. The reason for the long hiatus between pardons is simple - I needed a break. From social media, forums, Runescape, and the internet in general. I have always struggled with manic depression and I easily get addicted to things or treat small things with way too much intensity. Again, this may seem irrelevant, but I'm trying to give you a look into my mindset. Sythe became an addiction that truncated a lot of my life elsewhere. For starters, I didn't belong on the forum in the first place because I had previously broken rules - the entire explanations can be found in my previous two pardons. I let my addiction dominate everything, including my integrity (not admitting to my evading way sooner). Having had a year to reflect on my ban, my past mistakes and actions, I feel reinvigorated. Ready to come back and ready to right my wrongs. Again, the second chance is up to Sythe staff. For my many wrongs I would like to think I also did a lot right as well. Not being self deprecating for a moment, I was able to come up with some big ideas in terms of giveaways, and ascended all the way to a member of the CDT and a Sectional moderator. I kept the Runescape subsections from stagnation and tried to offer my insights on the entirety of the site. If not for my past indiscretions and had I had a clean past, I have zero doubt I'd probably have been an Administrator by now. Forgive me if that sounds arrogant, it's not meant to be. Simply that the intensity I apply to real life I also applied to Sythe, sometimes to a detriment, obviously, it is just the Internet at the end of the day.

Anyway, I don't mean to ramble on, just add context to what IBDB has been up to this past year. I have graduated, started looking for real jobs, and cut down on my internet time significantly. I can honestly say I am happier, healthier, and more full of life than I was just a mere year ago. I am finally ready to solve my biggest and only outstanding debt (which I'd like to add I was never actually banned for, rather it kept me banned rightfully because it was so much money). If you need to revisit why I was banned - it's in the old pardons. I was banned for admitting to ban evading & not paying customers back. I never did get into contact with Colomdem, unfortunately.

Lastly, if there's anything you would like me to address or clear up, let me know. I wanted to be in a financial position to pay TTB back all at once. Doing it piecemeal just seemed mental to me. And TTB was, as I said, more than accommodating in waiting patiently for this day to come. I am glad to say it has come. I am sorry this post is so long and reads more like an epistle, but I thought it prudent to update the entirety of Sythe on my past year. A year is a long time, after all. The reason this doesn't really have much to do with my actual ban is because it has already been outlined in full in my previous pardons. My pardon was suspended because I wanted time to pay TTB back before a full on vote happened.

So, lastly - I am currently trying to get my assets together to pay back TTB the REST of the loan so that I am completely DEBT FREE. If there is anything in my previous pardons that still concerns you, please let me know now so I can answer them. I wanted to post this now to get the ball rolling on all the other questions, voting can commence when I pay TTB back in full (which again I am facilitating ASAP). I have not circumvented my ban in any way or made any new accounts. I have very rarely even lurked the site, largely because of the long break I took from the internet. I was under the impression that I would at least have a chance of returning upon complete repayment of my TTB debt. That day is ready. It has been a long time, but frankly I think I needed a year off from Sythe regardless. Thanks for taking the time to read, and I look forward to future contact on this matter -

@Time To Buy

Tagged TTB so he can get into contact with you. Will hold off my vote until that's resolved.

 

Just to give an update -- IBDB contacted me to send all of the money today, but because my paypal is limited I can't receive it. I'm going to try to find someone irl who can take the money for me, but that might take a few days. I don't want this pardon to be held up because of my paypal issues though, so please feel free to start voting. (IBDB agreed to pay in RSGP if I can't resolve the paypal issues soon)


Anyway, I support.

 

Money needs to be in your possession before I'm comfortable voting on this personally

 

Agreeing with Jack here, I'd like to have you confirm you have the money in your hands before I vote

 

Not on Skype now but will be sending to either a friend of his in real life on Paypal or Western Union. Will try to get it done tomorrow! Thank you,

IBDB

 

You also need to provide evidence of on-going attempts to contact Colomdem, try emailing him at [email protected]

Messaged him again tonight on Skype & Resent contact request.

Email sent to provided email just now:

See you in a bit

 

That first bit of Colomdem was April 2015, not April 2016.

 

Each pardon separately. Gotcha. I'll try again in a month then.
