my adventures when the server had it's downtime...

404thread, Fri Oct 29 2010, 06:59AM

the server unexpectedly went down for unknown amount of time. i was bored, so i started making tnt cannons on single player and it was fun. then i got over that, started to blow Griefers up and it was fun too. but nothing made my mouth more wet and my fingers more tingly than the idea of blowing Griefers up on a multiplayer server. this is where our story begins...

at 88.159.112.104:25565, roughly 6.45 AM i found myself at the spawn area of the newly founded server, fresh and clean land as far as the eye can see. it was truly a beautiful sight. with only my bare hands i knuckled down a tree or ten and made myself a nice noob-kit. some people rushed by with dirt in their hands to create their first houses on the server. the admins and mods were building their own little castle. at that time, i created a list of "to do's":
1. upgrade pick
2. find iron
3. find diamond
4. dupe diamond and make pro-kit.
5. find a mossy cobblestone room (whatever it's called) and loot the chests for some nice gunpowder
6. dupe TNT in giganormous amounts
7. ???
8. PROFIT!

half an hour and eight "checks" later i was on my way to troll the Griefers out of this beautiful landscape and it's peaceful residents.

no better place to put the first ton of TNT than under the admin house eh?
after quickly placing some 200 tnt blocks there i /spawn'd and lold while the chat went crazy.

next esplosion was to go off right in the neighbourhood of the admin house since the fuzz about the huge-ass hole under the house was a hot topic. then, all of a sudden, BOOM!
at this time the quiet and usually peaceful residents of the lands started to panic. they knew that a new threat has arose from the deep, dark corners of the minecraft community and it's threatening to destroy everything they hold dear and near. they needed a moderator to save them!

one brave knight of the lands arose. his name was Rockslide. unfortunately for everybody he failed in his task and desperately started accusing everybody around. i told him i was gonna build my cobblestone house now and asked him kindly to stop bugging me. he did.

little did he know that i was filling that housing with a third round, this one far bigger than the two previous combined. while he ran around doing background checks on everyone on the server, i was filling the house to the roof with explosives. the amount counting up to 500TNT blocks! at the end i told him to come see my new house. he did and i blew the place sky high right under his nose...
the server froze and great lulz was had. my stomach still hurts. i wish the server would be offline more often smile

THE END!

vids to follow if ppl want to see the damage on the admin house and the second boom. the third time i was hammered before i could log in.

have to say it, this is wrong.

I wont go into the whole 'griefing' is wrong speach, but it never hurts to show respect to the other servers.

As hilarious as it is (and I'm a bad person for laughing, oh schadenfreude), gotta say I'm with conathan. Granted, they really should have caught on to you sooner. Just don't do it again I say... especially on our beloved server.

Strangly enough, the server was a TNT wars server before it converted into this

My opinion is the same as the others in this topic, though.

I have to disagree with what you said 404, this server is NOT full of peaceful residents =P
Oh yeah and ofcourse I disagree with the whole griefing thing..

That was actually very funny, but make your own private server and do stuff like these there please. Griefing people's houses is not cool.

This is probably going to get me on a watchlist or something, but in my opinion, that was the funniest thing I have ever read about minecraft. I mean, actually calling the admin over to your house, then blowing him to hell is just hilarious. Thank you 404thread, you have made my day smile
