=== TH_Xxain — The Thirteenth Golem (2:22 PM) ===

[[Player:TH_Xxain|TH_Xxain]] joined at 1:18 PM with what appeared to be a plan. Over the next hour and four minutes, they executed it with unusual efficiency. The advancement timeline tells the story: '''[Stone Age]''' at 1:21 PM, '''[Getting an Upgrade]''' at 1:22 PM, '''[Sweet Dreams]''' at 1:39 PM, '''[What a Deal!]''' at 1:43 PM, '''[Acquire Hardware]''' and '''[Diamonds!]''' both at 1:53 PM, '''[Cover Me with Diamonds]''' at 2:08 PM, '''[Isn't It Iron Pick]''' at 2:19 PM. Woven into that timeline: a PvP kill on [[Player:Icebladeeee|Icebladeeee]] at 1:30 PM, '''111 villager trades''' by session's end, and the methodical elimination of twelve iron golems.

At 2:16 PM, with wonllob92 freshly dead nearby, TH_Xxain checked in with the server:

At 2:22 PM, they earned '''[Surge Protector]''' — surviving a lightning strike near a lightning rod. It was the twelfth advancement of a session that already had more highlights than most players see in a week. Seconds later, iron golem number thirteen settled the score.

The kill list — '''iron_golem:12''', horse:5, sheep:1, pig:1, wolf:1 — explains everything. TH_Xxain had been hunting iron golems for an hour. The iron golems, apparently, were keeping count. He finishes the day as Xandaris's longest survivor ('''~1 hr 4 min''') and its advancement leader ('''12'''), which feels like appropriate recognition for a run that good.
