"Can you like convince 44 to unban me?"

Revert after his first ban.
"Revert has always been a retard."
Revert is an old Betaonline player. A controversial figure, he was known on the server for being a troublemaker, often killing or griefing the server in one way or another. After duping iron blocks in April 2022, he would be banned from the server.
Norbert011 confirmed that the account X25, which had been playing on the server since 16 May 2022, was actually an alternative account of Revert. 44cckw would allow Revert to stay, similar to 46mm's parole in April 2022. Revert would make a complete return on 27 October 2022, and would begin to play on his main account again. This did not last long, however. Revert would be banned again on 12 November 2022 after duping for a second time. His "town" Dupelandia that he had created during this time, would be defaced and left to rot.
Revert, together with Norbert secretly used the account EvilPoopMan to invade and take over the server in December 2022, known as the Reign by the playerbase. Their short rule over the server was put to an end on 8 December 2022, after a massive revolt by his former interns and slaves toppled him from power. Revert would return and reveal this information a few days after this. Still being banned from duping in November, Revert was unbanned and pardoned for his crimes due to popular demand. During his third stay, he ditched both the mountain house and the ruins of Dupelandia, and created an entirely new settlement known as the U.R.E. in the far north of the world.
Revert would be enrolled in controversy throughout December. After kidnapping Wither Town's inhabitants, killing innocent players, and duping, he would be subsequently killed and his base ruined by angry players who sought revenge. Revert was banned on 30 December 2022. Revert attempted to join AdventureOnline, and frequently tried to rejoin the main server using alternate accounts in the first half of 2023, but this was stopped by 44cckw.
Revert would make his final return in June 2023. He took control of the EvilPoopMan during the June of Chaos, and participated in griefs against CalmCreeper360 and Lake City, together with Norbert and TriKhazan. All three of the perpetrators was banned on 20 June 2023, finally marking the end of Revert's time on the server.
History
Origins
Revert would join the server for the first time on 17 March 2022. At an unknown point, the Mountain House would be built by either AlphaPlayer5345 or Withermann[Notes 1] for the price of a few diamonds. Revert ended up never paying for this. Revert also claimed to have built the Fencepost together with Alphaplayer, though this is disputed.
Entering the Dupe War
While Revert had been known on the server as a troublemaker for a while, he did not do anything inherently illegal. He became intentionally disruptive in late March, and created a big lavacast that sat right beside the Oil Rig. This escalated further on 7 April 2022, when he entered the Dupe War by duping a large amount of iron blocks. Instead of hiding the dupe, he publicly announced it by building structures across Oak Hills made out of the iron blocks. He would be banned by 44cckw after this.
Returning with X25
During the Dark Age, the period in which the server had a whitelist enabled, Norbert invited the user X25 to Betaonline. Claiming it was a friend of his, 44cckw agreed and added him to the whitelist on 16 May 2022. However, without anyone's knowledge other than Norbert, X25 was an alternative account of Revert. While Revert had full access to the server during May-October with this account, he never griefed or duped anything.
Pardon, Dupelandia and second ban
X25 would join the server on 27 October 2022 after a long hiatus. It had become public knowledge earlier that month that Revert was X25, so when Revert pretended to be another user it went nowhere. He eventually revealed that he was in fact Revert. Similar to how 46mm was allowed back on the server, 44cckw decided to do the same with Revert. Revert joined the server again on his main account, and would begin to play normally again.
During his second stay on the server, he built the settlement of Dupelandia after getting permission from 44cckw. Dupelandia was supposed to be built from dupe war remnants that Revert already had on him, but Revert decided to dupe additional blocks of lapis in November and would place them all across Oak Hills and Paris on 12 November 2022. This was the final straw, and Revert would lose his building permission due to this. Dupelandia would be changed into Dirtlandia by 44cckw, after using Worldedit to change the iron blocks into dirt blocks.
Revert was not banned outright, but 'softbanned', meaning that he only lost his building permission. He attempted to rejoin the server on 20 November 2022 with the alternative account Latitude, but this was seen through by 44cckw. He was eventually fully banned due to constant spam and attempting to rejoin with different alternative accounts.
EvilPoopMan and the Reign
Second pardon and starting the U.R.E.
Revert would return to the server yet again on 12 December 2022, with the alternative account Revert45. 44cckw did not ban him, since he had no building permissions. Revert revealed to the server that he had controlled EvilPoopMan during the Reign - not Norbert. This came as a surprise to the server, as nobody had suspected Revert of being behind it. Revert would act charismatic, and successfully gained the trust of the online players at the time. He was pardoned a second time by 44cckw the same day, after approval of the general populace. Revert argued that Norbert was allowed to "get away" with crimes scot-free, while he got punished severely.
Revert would again move into the Mountain House, but not for long. He announced that he would put it up for sale and move somewhere else, away from Oak Hills. While 44cckw wanted to buy the mountain house, it was bought by Norbert for an undisclosed amount. Revert would move out, far away from Oak Hills so it was harder for 44cckw to spy on him. He would set up shop north of Dankstadt and name the region the U.R.E., an abbreviation for the United Revert Emirates. The first reports of activity in the region was on 13 December 2022. Revert announced that he had ambitions to create a massive 200x200 block of cobblestone. Construction began, and a long cobble-wall was erected. However, building had halted after Revert presumably ran out of materials. Norbert would help Revert with flattening the area on-top of the U.R.E. on 13 December 2022.
Kidnapping and further griefing
Withermann would report to 44cckw on 13 December 2022 that all the pumpkinmen living in Wither Town was gone. Norbert would reveal that Revert had kidnapped them, and taken them to the U.R.E. where they were held as hostage. Withermann put out a bounty on Revert, saying that he would pay anyone who killed Revert and rescued the kidnapped pumpkinmen. Due to the information of the pumpkinmen's whereabouts being leaked, Revert decided to hide them somewhere else.
Revert would break into Paris Mansion on 16 December and barricade himself inside of a room. Norbert was unable to go directly into the room himself, but could see that Revert was doing something inside. It was highly suspected that the kidnapped pumpkinmen was held inside of this room. Norbert requested backup, and 44cckw would arrive at the scene. He would break open the barricaded room, but found nothing inside. However, the window leading to the room was broken, meaning that Revert had managed to escape together with the kidnapped pumpkinmen while Norbert and 44cckw were busy. Revert would retreat back to the U.R.E., while the hunt for the pumpkinmen went cold. Revert said that he hid the pumpkinmen at Frozen Town, but this turned out to be a red herring and a bluff.
Norbert011 : breaching in
44cckw : Dammit
Later, Revert would alert the server that his base underneath the U.R.E. had been griefed by an unknown player. 44cckw and CalmCreeper360 was teleported to the scene to investigate. In the large amounts of dirt and lava that was used to grief, sponge would be discovered. This made Revert suspect Norbert of being behind the grief, as he is one of the few players on the server with sponge on him. Norbert would join the server, but defended himself by saying that he gave away some of his sponge to friends, meaning that it couldn't be him. Revert demanded a backup to be reloaded, but 44cckw refused, due to Revert's base not being of importance and the fact that many players on the server would lose progress. 44cckw and Norbert would discuss the grief privately, and concluded that it was likely Revert himself who was behind the grief; a false flag operation. It is also possible that a player griefed Revert in retaliation of the kidnapping, but this is speculation.
Throughout the later stages of December 2022, Revert attempted to lure new players arriving from Betacraft to join him at the U.R.E., only for him to turn them into slaves and force them to mine and build structures for him. This was not a success.
Incursion on the U.R.E.
At this point, the players of Betaonline was tired of Revert's constant griefing and illegal activities. 44cckw would spy on Revert using freecam, and discovered that he was using x-ray hacks on 29 December 2022. This was concrete evidence that Revert was cheating, something the player base had suspected for a long time. While Revert was online at the U.R.E. on 30 December 2022, raddicted, 44cckw, Norbert011 and TriKhazan would visit the U.R.E. The visitors would make fun of Revert's base for being poor. After some time, fighting between Revert and the visiting players would occur. The fighting ended in defeat for Revert, who was heavily outnumbered and outgunned. Rad, TriKhazan, Norbert and 44cckw would begin to destroy the U.R.E. with dirt, cobblestone and lava. Revert's bed was destroyed, and TriKhazan would begin to create lavacasts all over the area. 44cckw had long suspected Revert of duping, and this suspicion was confirmed after he broke up his chest and found a stack of diamonds, which Norbert took as war loot. With the U.R.E. in shambles, Revert would trek far out into the world, to avoid persecution.
While players were busy creating lavacasts and a TNT duper on U.R.E. territory, Revert ventured far out into the world, walking thousands of blocks towards the Farlands. After reacing the coordinates X: 5491 Z: 9979, he would set up a temporary base and warp back to spawn. There, he would grief Norbert's house and completely destroy its entrance. This was the final nail in the coffin for Revert, and he was permanently banned from Betaonline. 44cckw woved to never pardon him ever again.
Final return
Legacy
The kidnapped Wither Town pumpkinmen, thought to be lost forever, was discovered by TriKhazan on 2 January 2023 at Revert's shelter far into the world. This earned TriKhazan massive respect on the server, and Withermann promised to raise a statue in TriKhazan's honor some time in the future, declaring him a "true hero to the pumpkinmen". The pumpkinmen returned to Wither Town after weeks of being held hostage.

Notes
- ↑ Who exactly built the mountain house is unclear. According to Norbert011, it was Alphaplayer who built it. However, Withermann claims to have built it himself. Revert himself did not remember who built it when he was asked about it in October 2022.
