The mysterious 'velcum' incident
Sort:
I forgot to mention that the rogue admin was the co-owner, so the owner had to ban him personally
wow. That's deep o-o
ummmmm
dayum
I also suspect the co-owner was also bipolar...
The rage he had
exactly
lol
Wait, what does bipolar mean?
In celebration of our 200 member mark, I shall tell you the tale of the 'velcum' incident. This was a VERY long time ago, so I may mess up some points.
This was on a factions/raid server me and my friend played on. It always had a lot of people on. We had become very good at making specialized cannons to blow up different kinds of bases.
So one day, my friend wanted to show me a new cannon prototype he built. It was a glorious mortar shotgun cannon with an extremely long range. We decided to test it a bunch of times and see how far it went. We did our regular procedure: fire it about 10 times and check out where they land. We were not far from spawn so if we were killed, we wouldn't have to walk far.
After the firings, we began to see panicked chat messages about "TNT falling out of the sky" and wrecking the whole spawn. Turns out 50 pieces of TNT from our ten firings had fallen inside/barely outside spawn.
Coincidentally and simultaneously, there was a group of new people who were griefers on at the same time wreaking havoc. They said 'velcum to hell' to everyone who joined. They were intentionally TNTing spawn to ruin the server. They were using nuke hacks on spawn. The admins were panicking to try and find the griefers. One admin finally snapped and teleported EVERYONE to a spwn and started to kill all the players while screaming VELCUM TO HELL? I'LL MAKE ALL OF YOUR LIVES HELL! HE started spawning every single hostile mob in the game, and there were a dozen enderdragons and about thirty withers in spawn killing people. He detonated TNT everywhere and pretty much destroyed the server. The owner logged on after the worst was over and banned the insane operator. He said the server would have to close, and it did twenty minutes later. velcum is the word that my friend and I used to refer to the incident which we were partly responsible for from that point on.
