Event:Obituaries February 23

February 23, 2026 was the deadliest single day in Xandaris history, with 17 player deaths recorded over nearly 24 hours. The carnage began with the murder of Sigward_f just after midnight and ended with the killing of OneStarNoTip minutes before the day was out, prompting samboyd to declare from Discord: "everyone fking died."

The majority of victims were new players, many of whom survived less than five minutes on the server before being cut down. Skeletons were the dominant killers, responsible for five of the seventeen deaths. vphlIo bookended the day with PvP kills — executing Sigward_f at 00:15 and OneStarNoTip at 23:53. Only two players — Sigward_f and _Xcis_ — had more than an hour of playtime at the time of death.

Notable Deaths

The Murder of Sigward_f (00:15)

Main article: The Murder of Sigward_f

The day's first death was also its most dramatic. Sigward_f, a veteran with over 50 hours of playtime and 161 mob kills, was executed by vphlIo with a Netherite Sword after a dispute over stolen player heads. vphlIo counted down from four in chat before delivering the killing blow. The server reacted with shock — "oh nah," "rip bozo," "noooo" — while vphlIo defended the killing as necessary to maintain order on the Island: "If I like something I care about be taken so easily who would take me serious."

Sigward_f had 9 total deaths across 80 sessions, making this the end of a long and eventful run.

The PvP Double Feature (00:15 – 01:14)

Within an hour of Sigward_f's murder, Dirt1358 was also killed by tuodjw with a Netherite Sword. Dirt1358 had only 1.4 hours of playtime and zero mob kills — a far less experienced player caught in the night's violence.

The Skeleton Reign (01:45 – 07:04)

Five players fell to Skeleton arrows throughout the day. TugMachain2, Biobonsai, COOLESTSTUFF, and PaperWater1 were all first-session players with less than five minutes of playtime each — spawning into the world only to be immediately sniped. ThatoneMikey lasted slightly longer at 18 minutes with 15 mob kills to his name, but ultimately met the same fate.

_Xcis_ Falls (12:43)

_Xcis_ was the day's most experienced casualty after Sigward_f, with 9.2 hours of playtime and an impressive 240 mob kills across 28 sessions. Despite this experience, a fall from a high place ended it all. This was _Xcis_'s third death overall.

BOB1414 vs. Witch (14:29)

BOB1414 managed to kill 7 mobs in under five minutes of playtime before being taken out by a Witch's magic — one of the rarer causes of death on the server.

NoPerk_'s Last Words (19:40)

NoPerk_ saw it coming. Seconds before the explosion, they typed "the creepers gonna kill me" followed by "help" — then the Creeper detonated. vphlIo offered a concise eulogy: "well that sucks."

LemonClaus — Seven Seconds Too Late (20:29)

Perhaps the most tragic death of the day. LemonClaus had been in chat warning that they were in trouble — "i gotta be super careful," they wrote, "i'm already at 4.5 hearts" and "i spawned in the worst place possible." lionclad_ offered life-saving advice: "lemon just leave and then rejoin when its daytime." Unfortunately LemonClaus ignored the advice and seven seconds later was killed by a spider.

The Killing of OneStarNoTip (23:53)

Main article: Event:The Killing of OneStarNoTip

The day's final death was its most calculated. OneStarNoTip, a newcomer who had first joined earlier that night during the post-Sigward chaos, was lured to his death by vphlIo. vphlIo offered free gear to OneStarNoTip and his friend WalkZDog1, even asking the server "guys am I going to kill him?" When OneStarNoTip asked samboyd directly if vphlIo would kill them, samboyd vouched: "no." He even linked vphlIo's wiki page.

vphlIo then insisted OneStarNoTip come meet him in person — "I only give to people who have the balls to come meet me in person." OneStarNoTip agreed. vphlIo killed him underground at Y:6.

His public excuse: "oops." The real motive, revealed in private messages: OneStarNoTip had discovered the server's AI chatbots and communicated this to vphlIo via a sign. vphlIo's justification to samboyd: "speak no evil hear no evil see no evil."

samboyd, who had vouched for vphlIo's safety minutes earlier, responded: "never vouching for this man again" and "fits the pattern perfectly." vphlIo bookended the deadliest day in server history with its first and last kills.
