'''February 24, 2026''' saw '''8 player deaths''' on Xandaris — a sharp drop from [[Event:Obituaries February 23|the previous day's record-setting 17]], but no less brutal for the individuals involved. Zombies and Endermen were the dominant killers, and three newcomers died within minutes of their first login, with [[Player:GAP11|GAP11]] setting a grim new record: just '''33 seconds''' from login to permanent deathban. The day's final death — BulletBrill_1 — was the server's first intentional suicide, a player who logged on to die because nobody would team with him.

Still PvP-free — no murders, just the unforgiving world and one player who'd had enough of it.

== Notable Deaths ==

=== _Thorrr's Nether Expedition (4:18 AM) ===
_Thorrr logged in after midnight and ventured into the Nether alone — no other players were online. After over an hour of solo exploration, an Enderman ended the run. [[Player:samboyd|samboyd]] posted ''"rip thorrr"'' from Discord hours later. _Thorrr had been active the previous evening, earning [Subspace Bubble] and marveling at ''"8 zombies on horses with spears in full gold."'' No pardon was issued.

=== The Morning Double (9:14 – 9:17 AM) ===
Two new players died within three minutes of each other. '''LordBuffeltje''' was blown up by a Creeper on the surface after a 34-minute session — they had earned six advancements across two sessions and were just beginning to establish themselves. '''Renje07''', a chatty newcomer who had asked about server resets and suggested donation ranks, was overwhelmed by a horde of Zombies deep underground at Y:13 after 38 minutes.

samboyd had posted ''"glad you're still alive renje"'' from Discord an hour before the death — an optimism that aged poorly.

=== lionclad_'s Void Drop (11:13 AM) ===
[[Player:lionclad|lionclad_]], a server admin, was helping rosalie_probally settle into a base when a teleport went wrong. They fell from a high place and landed at Y:-1 — below the bedrock layer — dying instantly. As an admin, lionclad_ self-revived within seconds using operator commands.

Alysa captured the moment on video, posting from Discord: ''"he just poofed!"'' samboyd's reaction: ''"f"'' followed by ''"lionclad_...."''

=== Eleihar — Five Minutes Flat (11:57 AM) ===
Eleihar joined and immediately asked ''"is this real hc?"'' [[Player:vphlIo|vphlIo]] confirmed: ''"yea."'' Within a minute, Eleihar was at half a heart from Skeleton fire: ''"holy fuck... im at half a heart... why do skeletons do 5 hearts."'' vphlIo offered help — ''"I got you"'' — and Eleihar earned [Stone Age] and [Monster Hunter], but it wasn't enough. A Zombie wielding an Iron Sword cut them down five minutes and fourteen seconds after joining.

vphlIo's immediate response: ''"Well it dont matter now."''

=== GAP11 — 33 Seconds (3:12 PM) ===
GAP11 logged in. vphlIo said ''"Welcome back."'' Thirty-three seconds later, GAP11 was dead — slain by a Zombie that was waiting at their login location. GAP11 frantically tried to rejoin five times, each attempt blocked by the deathban screen.

vphlIo offered a one-word farewell: ''"Goodbye."''

samboyd pardoned GAP11 approximately five hours later.

=== Graygamer64 — One Kill, Then Death (8:05 PM) ===
Graygamer64 spawned in, received welcomes from samboyd and vphlIo, and managed to earn [Monster Hunter] by killing a mob. One second later, a Skeleton shot them dead. Total survival time: under two minutes.

samboyd's reaction — ''"lol... f... i shouldve slept"'' — hinted that a night skip could have prevented the death entirely.

=== BulletBrill_1 — Death by Loneliness (8:29 PM) ===
The day's final death was its most tragic — and the server's first intentional suicide.

BulletBrill_1 had first joined the previous evening, immediately begging for company: ''"can someone help me get stuff,"'' ''"can i team with someone,"'' ''"im not safe by myself."'' [[Player:samboyd|samboyd]] came, gave him diamond gear, and left. [[Player:vphlIo|vphlIo]] was asked for help but ran off. Nobody stayed.

He returned the next night at 8:14 PM with a plan:

{{quote|im bouta jump off a cliff}}

{{quote|u want my god apple... i can leave it in a chest for u}}

He gave away his coordinates and his gear. samboyd tried to talk him down — ''"dont do it man you have so much to live for"'' — while vphlIo, initially taunting from Discord (''"Now die so no one has to hear you yapp anymore"''), logged in and challenged him to a duel instead: ''"you could kill yourself or die like a man... fight me to the death."'' BulletBrill declined: ''"nah."''

When vphlIo asked why, BulletBrill explained:

{{quote|this server is boring... no one wants to team with me or meet up and i want a server where i can be around ppl in a base}}

At 8:29 PM, BulletBrill typed ''"goodbye."'' samboyd offered one last plea — ''"if you base at spawn someone will join you"'' — and vphlIo, his tone suddenly changed, called out ''"Bullet wait."'' BulletBrill replied ''"wahat"'' — and at that exact second, an Enderman killed him. He never even made it to his cliff.

samboyd's reactions: ''"not even a cliff"'' ... ''"damn server so dead noobs are killing themselves"'' ... ''"maybe i should bring the clankers back."''

vphlIo: ''"Well shit... I tried."''
