Player:lionclad

lionclad_ is an operator (level 4) on the Xandaris server, primarily serving as the server's anti-cheat enforcer. He spends most of his time in spectator mode, teleporting between players to watch for hacked clients — though his habit of slipping into creative mode has gotten him in trouble with samboyd more than once.

History

Day One — From Player to Admin in 35 Minutes (February 16)

lionclad_ voted for the server on PlanetMinecraft before even logging in. His first session lasted just 45 seconds. On his second session, he earned a few basic advancements — [Stone Age], [Getting an Upgrade], and [Sweet Dreams] — before being promoted to operator via RCON within 35 minutes of his first join.

He immediately switched to Spectator Mode and began teleporting to players, establishing the pattern that would define his time on the server.

The Anti-Cheat Enforcer

lionclad_'s primary contribution to Xandaris has been identifying and banning hackers. His first major investigation came on Day One when he confronted AwesomeAG99:

"I litteraly whached you fly over here like you were in creative"

He banned AwesomeAG99 for using the Meteor hack client. The following day, he identified and banned Cuban_III for the same offense — with samboyd confirming via private message: "he's hacking".

He also investigated PluckedHorseHair for potential alt account usage and checked vphlIo for x-ray hacking (clearing both):

"make sure you arent xray... your fine tho"

"well i didnt want you to freak out and change base lol. in fact im right above you in spectator"

The Creative Mode Problem

lionclad_ developed a habit of switching into creative mode while on admin duty — something samboyd repeatedly questioned. The tension came to a head on February 18 when samboyd whispered:

"why you keep going into creative?"

When lionclad_ didn't stop, samboyd de-opped him and forced him into survival mode. The demotion lasted about 90 seconds before samboyd re-opped him, along with an explicit instruction:

"pls only use spec to look for cheaters, pls dont use creative"

lionclad_ whispered back: "ima do survival" — a promise he would repeat but struggle to keep.

Attempts at Survival

When lionclad_ does play survival, skeletons are his nemesis. He has died twice, both times shot by a Skeleton. As an operator, he's exempt from the hardcore deathban — but his dropped player head became a collectible, with samboyd telling vphlIo he might have the coordinates to it and Kitten9337 advertising "selling lionclad msg me" in chat.

His survival stats tell the story of someone who mostly does admin work: ~4.5 hours of total play time across 12 sessions, with 34,000+ blocks flown in creative/spectator versus ~3,500 blocks walked.

Relationships

• samboyd — The server owner who promoted him. Their relationship involves trust but also tension over creative mode usage. samboyd gives him beds, checks his inventory, and once temporarily de-opped him.
• Kitten9337 — Fellow admin ally. Kitten pranked him with a creeper hiss sound, gave him a player head, and they patrol together in spectator ("admin party").
• vphlIo — Checked vphlIo for x-ray hacking (cleared him). vphlIo offered him items in return, which lionclad_ declined: "bro i am fine you dont need to be generous".
