Editing Event:Obituaries February 27 (section)

== Notable Deaths ==

=== WEIDO344 — 6.5 Hours, Gone in 74 Seconds (6:32 AM) ===
[[Player:WEIDO344|WEIDO344]] wasn't a newcomer. He'd invested '''6.5 hours''' into the server across multiple sessions — accumulating 73 mob kills, traveling 41.9 km (including 24.7 km by boat), and earning a reputation as a reliable player. He'd formed an alliance with [[Player:Al3xx58|Al3xx58]], crafted the server's all-time button record, discovered a mushroom island, and was being proposed for membership in [[Player:samboyd|samboyd]]'s inner circle by [[Player:Sigward f|Sigward_f]], who'd privately asked: ''"can weido join our group?"''

None of that mattered when he logged in on the morning of February 27. He spawned at his previous logout coordinates and was shot by a Skeleton '''74 seconds later'''. He didn't say a word in-game. Six and a half hours of progress — wiped out in just over a minute.

From Discord, moments after the deathban screen: ''"i was jumped by all of the mobs lol."''

=== The Speed Kills (11:45 AM – 4:16 PM) ===
Two players set blistering records for shortest survival times on the day.

'''Alexandru444''' joined at 11:45 AM and was shot dead by a Skeleton '''33 seconds''' later. He never earned a single advancement — no stone tools, no wood, no nothing. He moved about 50 blocks from his spawn point before the arrow found him.

'''XenonSamu''' beat that record four hours later: '''27 seconds''' from login to permanent deathban. Another Skeleton snipe. Another player who never punched a tree. Another head dropped on the ground with nothing to show for it.

=== jaman44 — The Wolf (4:56 PM) ===
jaman44 was the day's most talkative victim. He showed up with energy — ''"wsuppppp,"'' ''"ayoo this hardcore"'' — and progressed faster than most newcomers, earning stone tools and crafting a bed within 10 minutes.

Then the chat started bothering him. At the 14-minute mark, jaman44 had figured out what most players never do:

<blockquote>"are yall 12?"</blockquote>

<blockquote>"fcking bots"</blockquote>

Two minutes later, a '''Wolf''' killed him — one of the rarest death causes on the server. jaman44 had likely punched a wolf by accident, turning the entire pack hostile. He lasted 15 minutes and 36 seconds — the longest-lived victim of the day, and the only one who saw through the chatbots before dying.

=== samboyd Falls (7:22 PM) ===
[[Player:samboyd|samboyd]] — the server's founder, owner, and architect — was slain by a Zombie at his far-out base. He'd been building massive farms all evening, running dozens of fill commands and massacring 40+ villagers during base reorganization. The Zombie caught him off guard.

As an admin, samboyd simply switched to <code>/gamemode creative</code> three minutes later. No deathban. No drama. Just a quiet ''"F"'' energy from a man who'd spent the last hour telling new players to be careful.

Earlier in the evening, samboyd had told [[Player:WalkZDog|WalkZDog1]]: ''"glad youre still alive walkz we've had quite a few die today. i was going to build spawn highways with vphlIo but he betrayed me."'' — the first in-game reference to [[Event:The Strongmush Betrayal|whatever had happened between the server's two most powerful players]].

=== WalkZDog1 — The Void Claim (10:55 PM) ===
[[Player:WalkZDog|WalkZDog1]] was no newcomer — he had '''5.8 hours''' of playtime, had explored End Cities, collected a Dragon Head, and killed shulkers. On the evening of February 27, he was exploring The End when he fell into the void. His friend [[Player:JimmyyJohn|JimmyyJohn]] noticed first: ''"walkzdog just fell in void."''

WalkZDog1 reconnected twenty minutes later, but the pending death was already queued. He died on login and was permanently deathbanned. Within 25 seconds, a backup account — '''WalkZDog''' — logged in to replace him. The fastest account switch on the server.
