Anything you weren't banned for but want to confess to now: Yes, I'd to confess to being an idiot and rigging my raffle.

A detailed description of the events that took place and why you think we should forgive you:

A customer known as Mohdlou and I were speaking within discord chat & voice call. During the time Mohdlou had stated to me that he had an idea and wanted to host some raffles within the server. 1 of which was meant to be for Staff only which was to be 3 3rd age axes and 1 of an Elysian spirit shield. As we were speaking he had stated he wanted the staff one to be just for a select few staff members within my discord. He had stated he would pay for the entire cost of the 3rd age axes as well as the elysian spirit shield. When we were sorting out the 3rd age axes I had mentioned doing it privately as because I didn't want anyone else trying to enter the raffle or think we were doing a "fake" raffle and that it would be odd that 4 members of our staff team were the only people to enter. But he wanted it to be public. I had agreed because to me he was doing a kind gesture. Then regarding the Elysian raffle, he had stated to me in a voice chat that he wanted to "win" the Elysian spirit shield but after which do it as a give-away. At first, I wasn't all keen on this idea of rigging the raffle because I didn't want to cause any issues or have our customers who enter think that it was a ploy. After a while I had agreed to doing the raffle because MM had stated after 5 minutes of doing the raffle he was going to state that the raffle was just a joke and all customers who entered were going to be refunded of their tickets as well as be compensated for wasting their time and then do the elysian spirit shield as a give-away to give back to the community.

I had agreed to rigging the raffle to allow him to win because of what we had agreed on. On the agreement, MM had sent me a total of $1350 for the entire amount for the 3rd age axes, Elysian spirit shield and for compensation for customers. (This can all be provided if requested as payment was done via PayPal.)

So I had hosted the staff raffle in the server in which can be seen within our server and 4 members of our team were entered. Because of the raffle I had made a group chat with the workers privately before doing the raffle in which MM was aware of to inform them of the raffle. Although the Raffle shows one user won 2 items and another won 1, the four of them agreed prior to the raffle to split the prize money and share it equally between them. This was as each member would receive $198 for a total of $792. (All workers have been paid these funds and can provide proof of payment.).

Then we went on doing the raffle of the Elysian spirit shield. MM had agreed prior to announcing the raffle he wanted number 6. We had also agreed to do 10 numbers to make it easier to refund customers as I didn't want loads of customs entering the raffle and taking a longer period of time for me to refund each customer. I had messaged "Hepan, Cooper, Aiminingformax, Umsayas and Bobbeee" to enter the raffle as each of those 5 members I had a close friendship with and thought would understand after the raffle was done what was going on and appreciate the fact of receiving a slight free compensation. Each member had ented the raffle purchasing 1 - 3 tickets Paying by UK bank transfer, PayPal, Cashapp & Gold. As I was sorting out the raffle I tried to log into my Virtual private server to sort out the raffle for MM, when logging into the VPS I had noted someone was already connected to it as when I was trying to open the code for the bot it was telling me that it was already open by someone and gave me the options to recover, quit, open without editing or open and edit. (This is because the bot is hosted in Linux.) The only other person who had access to this VPS was Hepan as on occasion he was helping me with the bot development to edit and upgrade it. Or there were some occasions I would make a change to the bot and it would break it and I'd have to ask him for help to figure out what I did wrong. As I was sorting we were trying to fill in the last remaining numbers so I had messaged Hepan to see if he wanted to purchase one more number because I had another customer wanting to enter but didn't want to allow them to enter because I hadn't dealt with that user much and didn't want them to have any doubts. In which Hepan said to me that he only had enough Gold for the 1 number. At this point, I knew he was on the server and was a little worried maybe he might get funny so I had said should we change his number from the Ely Raffle to a different one later. He first confirmed. After I had got Aiminingtomax to enter another number we had 1 more number and Hepan had said no he wanted to enter this raffle. So I thought okay fine. We've been friends long enough maybe he'd listen even though I know he can see what I am doing. After all numbers were sold I went and changed the bot to do "random.randint(6)" within the raffle bot but this didn't work. I'm not a massive knowledgeable person when comes to programming. So i thought actually cause we only want the number "6" I'll just put "6" quick and fix it after back to random.randint(0,20). Once this was done I rebooted the server and did the roll.

literally, 30 seconds after the roll Hepan had confronted me regarding this and I had admitted I had done it, which he even stated thanks I've recorded you admitting to what you've done and going to report you unless I give him $1400. I had stated I don't care for the money and would of paid him the funds if he had actually allowed for myself and MM to explain to him what was going on. He didn't want to have any of it. He even left the group chat with me and MM and continued to state that if I paid him $1400 he wouldn't make the report. I had requested that he would calm down and listen to me with what I had to say but he refused. He continued to state if I didn't pay him in this amount of time he was going to report me. I had officially refused to pay him the funds and he had stated he had reported. After which he even stated good thing I didn't pay him because he would have reported me either way.

I had then made an announcement in my discord server which can be seen in the public chat to all my customers and contacted all users in question that entered the raffle and explained to them and refunded them. All users except for Hepan were absolutely fine with what had happened and didn't have an issue. Minus Cooper who said it did seem a little dodgy but he got paid back and compensated so he was fine cause that's all that mattered to him.

I respect I am in the wrong for what I did, however, it was never my intention to upset, harm, or cause any issues. What was meant to be a nice gesture from a user within our discord server sadly has been taking the wrong way and put someone thinking that we were scamming our customers/members which is false. I would have never done it if I honestly thought it would cause this many issues. I'd never scam anyone in my server or my friends because at the end of the day I have a lot more to lose than people may understand. I am happy to allow any sythe staff member to have access to the code or remove it completely.

I made a mistake I 100% agree and admit to it. Yes, I rigged the raffle for another user to win but as I've said it was never for profit or never to scam anyone it was more just to satisfy a customer.

I 100% know I was in the wrong, I know I shouldn't of done it or even finally agreed to do it, however, I did. I know firsthand what it feels like to be scammed not once, not twice but multiple times. Every time I was scammed I felt this instant disgust, hatred and so much more. I never meant for any of my customers or friends to feel as if I was attempting to scam them because I value their respect above my own. I'm more than happy for any Sythe staff member to have access to my VPS, Github to remove the Raffle code if they wish as well as ban me from doing raffles within my server.

I am sorry for my actions and I am sorry if I have upset or harmed anyone in the course of this. However, I'd just like to get back to roaming Sythe and bumping my servicing threads when I have time! I hope Sythe can give me this opportunity to fix the mistake I made and allow me to continue doing what I not only love for myself but also allow me to continue to support my team within my server.

Thank you again!
