Event:Obituaries March 27

From Xandaris Wiki


March 27, 2026 saw three deaths scattered across the afternoon and evening, each a study in contrast. A brand-new spawn lasted barely over a minute before a skeleton ended the experiment, a well-traveled veteran with 26 advancements fell to a witch's potions after an oddly short final session, and a productive explorer who spent the day earning diamonds and armor could not escape a zombie as the clock approached 7 PM. Total advancements carried to the grave: 41.

Death Toll[edit]

# Time (EST) Player Cause of Death Playtime Advancements
1 12:48 PM DrSpek Shot by Skeleton 1 min 4 sec 1
2 3:41 PM lionclad_ Killed by Witch using magic ~12 hrs 9 min 26
3 6:58 PM betternow Slain by Zombie ~3 hrs 50 min 14

Notable Deaths[edit]

DrSpek — One Minute Wonder (12:48 PM)[edit]

DrSpek arrived, mined 4 blocks, earned the [Adventure] advancement, and was gone — all within 1 minute and 4 seconds. The official cause of death reads "was shot by a Skeleton somehow using Bow," the word somehow doing a lot of heavy lifting there. No mobs killed, no items crafted, no second chances. It is difficult to say whether DrSpek even had time to orient themselves before the arrow arrived. A clean, uncomplicated end to what was almost certainly a first day on the server.

lionclad_ — Short Session, Long Legacy (3:41 PM)[edit]

Main article: Player:lionclad_

lionclad_ logged in at 3:38 PM and was dead by 3:41 PM — a final session lasting just 2 minutes and 50 seconds, a stark ending to a career spanning 12 hours and 9 minutes of total playtime and 26 advancements. Their lifetime kill record — 65 mobs with pigs, sheep, and cows all suffering disproportionately — and their achievement log told the story of a player who had seen nearly everything: [The City at the End of the Game], [Those Were the Days], [We Need to Go Deeper], [Suit Up]. They had been through the Nether, the End, and back.

This was lionclad_'s seventh death. The previous six had come at the hands of skeletons (three times), a fellow player, and a zombie. The witch is a new entry on that list, and apparently an efficient one — lionclad_ did not have time to find out what went wrong before the magic landed.

betternow — Diamonds, Onions, and One Zombie (6:58 PM)[edit]

betternow had a genuinely productive March 27. By 9:07 AM they had earned [Diamonds!]. By 1:50 PM, [Cover Me with Diamonds] was in the log. At 5:01 PM, [Who Is Cutting Onions?] rounded out a remarkable afternoon. Across nine sessions totaling nearly 4 hours, they mined 3,228 blocks, crafted 940 items, and put down 25 mobs — including 15 zombies, which makes the cause of death something of an irony.

Ten minutes before the fatal encounter, Elliotay212 had asked:

"when was this server made/"— Elliotay212

betternow did not survive to hear the answer. A zombie caught them at 6:58 PM and that was that. Curiously, betternow does not appear anywhere in the server's ban records — whether a logging gap, a system oddity, or something else entirely, the record is silent on the matter.
