I promise you... I have not xrayed, never have and I never will. I support fair play on the server and love everything about it. As I have said before and I will say again (before I even try to defend myself) Hollow World has the potential (and already is very close) to being one/if not the best minecraft server for all-round features and community fun. I enjoy the theme, building large/grand designs... I have been the mayor of not one...but three different towns on three different maps. I know I shouldn't mention being quite a significant donator - but that does show how I have sat and thought "you know what... this server does have potential and I want to be a part of it". (and that was back in summer 2011!! It was near featureless with few plugins etc.)!
Players have come and gone, banned and unbanned. Hell, I've even had theo_paroell AND Lutheranus in my town (Minos Grande back in the beta days) AT THE SAME TIME!
I can only say what I have currently said and admit that yes, I was tempted by, and took advantage of a highly unusual chunk load (slowly) - I do not know if the new HD texture pack had anything to do with it that I was trying out.. or the HD water reflection pack that my friend had installed for me. To be honest - I only JUST figured out how to install the fly mod by myself.. I am not very good at installing mods... so I keep them just to the fly mod - I never had another one.
As to the situation detected and analysed by the excellent moderator SallyRose - It does even to me look like someone who xrayed - tunneling a few times straight to some diamond deposit. I assure you it was the world pieces revealing ores, and cross sections of land. It was even still refreshing while I made a tunnel which was really weird...
As I said, my computer is running a lot faster now - I just had a new / upgraded processor fitted as I do a lot of video and film editing on Final Cut Pro.
I miss the server somewhat and am sorry. It wouldn't happen again. I'm not going to defend myself again after this message, it is here for anyone to see. I will not bother you again if you still rule me as a player unfit to be a part of the server - a cheater - or a potential harm to player's experiences on the server.
Thank you all even if it was for the time I have spent on the server since summer 2011 - It has been great.
