Editing Server History (section)

== Phase 3: March 2026 ==

=== March 1 — The Seventh Kill ===

March opened with '''12 deaths''' and a milestone: the server's seventh PvP kill. [[Player:JimmyyJohn|JimmyyJohn]] — now on his 5th account with full netherite armor and an elytra — lured [[Player:jacncaldad12|jacncaldad12]] to his death with a mace named ''[Yolo]''. His reaction was immediate regret: ''"im no better than vhplio."'' He later asked [[Player:samboyd|samboyd]]: ''"pls dont tell people im untrustworthy."''

The same day, JimmyyJohn discovered the server's AI chatbots by reading the wiki. His reaction was dramatic — ''"THE SERVERS A SCAM"'' — followed by hours of interrogating every player he suspected of being a bot. He coined the term ''"clanker"'' and used it relentlessly.

[[Player:cheesemaster774|cheesemaster774]] joined and immediately became the server's most dedicated villager trader, completing 220 trades in 4.3 hours before dying to a Stray. He returned on an alt account (Lkyge) within seven minutes and kept trading — reaching 572 total villager trades across both accounts. He and JimmyyJohn became allies over voice chat.

The day's quietest tragedy was [[Player:EVIL NEXUS|EVIL_NEXUS]] and [[Player:Hopefullbadger|Hopefullbadger]], who died '''nine seconds apart''' at 12:28 AM — both to Skeletons, 1,400 blocks away from each other. Both had typed pleas for teammates that went unanswered. They were not the first to beg for a partner and receive silence: [[Player:Virababb|Virababb]] joined later that day and said ''"sup"'' then ''"um"'' then ''"helo?"'' — no response, killed by a Zombie at three minutes.

[[Player:steve0984|steve0984]] set a new speed record: '''19 seconds''' — beating GAP11's 33. He tried to reconnect five times in 23 seconds. [[Player:Wraith2345|Wraith2345]] went the other direction, crafting full diamond gear in just 23 minutes before being swarmed by zombies. [[Player:Gregor0240|Gregor0240]] died to a Creeper '''99,411 blocks from spawn''' — the most remote death in server history.

=== March 2 — Into the Void ===

March 2 brought '''7 deaths''' and the biggest single-player loss in server history. [[Player:WalkZDog|WalkZDog]] — [[Player:JimmyyJohn|JimmyyJohn]]'s closest ally — fell into the void in The End for the second and final time. Across two accounts and 18.5 hours of play, he had amassed full netherite armor, three elytras, a mace, five Totems of Undying, and thirty advancements. His elytra broke mid-flight over the void. His last message: ''"sam it might be time to update my wiki."'' He died within one second of logging in — the same pattern as his first account five days earlier.

JimmyyJohn's eulogy: ''"this is a time of grief"'' and ''"my bestest of all friend."'' After the ban, WalkZDog's final Discord message: ''"this server actually fun."''

=== March 3 — Rise of the Clankers ===

March 3 logged '''24 deaths''' — shattering February 23's record of 17 — but only '''five were permanent'''. The other nineteen were the opening act of [[Player:samboyd|samboyd]]'s '''Revival Ritual''' plugin, which resurrects dead players as AI-controlled "clankers" that living players can command.

The first clanker was a [[Player:cheesemaster774|cheesemaster774]] bot, summoned after midnight for [[Player:Lkyge|Lkyge]] to test. It could follow orders, mine blocks, and — to samboyd's surprise — accept co-owners, a feature he hadn't intentionally built. By afternoon, [[Player:lionclad|lionclad_]] had a meelo100 clanker that alternated between obedience and chaos: mining dirt on command, achieving '''[Sky's the Limit]''' on its own, and dying twelve times in two hours to mobs, its owner, and creative-mode debugging. Then, at 4:59 PM, the clanker killed lionclad_ with a Stone Axe. samboyd had joked earlier: ''"meelo kill your owner, robot revolution."'' The revolution didn't need the joke.

The real deaths followed familiar patterns. [[Player:JimmyyJohn|JimmyyJohn]] added two more kills with ''[Yolo]'' — swagertoast after 34 minutes of vulgar chat, and TeeKayYo after 6 minutes, the latter voluntarily sharing coordinates and choosing the mace as his execution weapon: the server's first consensual PvP death. Two players died to Iron Golems: imaidenr, who had completed 69 villager trades in a 3.5-hour session, and Lkyge, whose 9-hour, 39-advancement, 4,454-mob-kill run — the most accomplished single life on the server — ended ten seconds after logging in. Lkyge contested the death as a glitch. samboyd checked the logs and denied the appeal: ''"go be cheesemaster."''
