File this under simple-yet-elegant: a colo(u)r wheel sheep farm!

[deathfun]

Was on the server a couple days ago and I am impressed. Portals to the worlds around? Nice
Also was surprised to see no one euthanized my sheep farm and that my buildings are still kicking!

Least, I think my sheep farm is still there

[Akalabeth Angel]

I was able to get on last night. There were two other players as well so seems good now?

[z64555]

Boo. Managed to get some things set up across all three servers, (survival, creative, and ultrahard) only to find out that I'm at 90% of this month's datacap. Will have to wait about 9 more days until it resets.

[TrashMan]

HM...tried logging in a few times. Nobody there

[IronBeer]

I've got some dire news. I kicked back and forth about staying private or public, but I settled on going public.

Somebody griefed the living **** out of me.
*All storage and functional blocks in my base have been destroyed.
*TNT had been set off in a few places.
*Random structural blocks have been destroyed.
*My base was entered from a long tunnel from the north. The tunnel leads to a world-generated mine and I lost the trail there.
*My friends' mountain base was damaged as well.
*Probably a bunch of other things I haven't noticed yet.

In all the time I've been playing on an HLP-affiliated server, I have had absolutely ZERO issues with the conduct of other players, which makes this all the more shocking and violating. While I can't properly point fingers, there are two users (I cannot recall their names as yet) who logged on for the first time on Sunday. Damage to my base appeared later that day- an incomplete golem grinder punched through by manmade tools and a couple structural blocks destroyed in a nearby tunnel.

Kyad, I summon your mod/admin powers to smite the guilty and repair what you can!

Need cords man, but unless it was before the SQL perge months ago (you'd have known), it's all in the system. One command and it all goes away, but I need cords so I can find a name.

[TrashMan]

Wow... better go check on my stuff.

IronBeer, you need any supplies now?

Can do. I've got to get to work in a bit here, but I can give you the necessary details later today.

After sleeping on this, a couple of things occurred to me, most of them revolving around "Punishment is more likely than not going to be necessary to prevent this happening again":
-The fact that the attack took place in two phases (the initial scouting raid entered via grinder punch-through, then the actual attack via long borehole) suggests a great deal of organization and premeditation.
-Sub point: my and my friends' base is quite far from the spawn (~3k). One would need to know precisely where it is to attack it. Furthermore, almost all of my facilities are underground. Ergo, the attacker used some sort of player-detection solution to find me.
-I suspect we're dealing with an experienced and remorseless troll, and most worryingly, one who now knows where I live in-game.

So, actual details that would help you with area restoration:
-The main attack likely occurred sometime after 1800 (I think) UTC on Sunday, Nov23. Just cross-reference against my last logoff.
-Coordinates of area to be restored are forthcoming. I'm going to take a little initiative and mark my friends' base for restoration as well. In the process, I can survey any damage they've taken and add to the griefer(s)'s list of crimes.
-The rollback action should restore everything, right? Including items in chests?

Wow... better go check on my stuff.

IronBeer, you need any supplies now?

I appreciate the offer, TrashMan, but mercifully I had a pretty full gear load on my person when I logged. Besides, once the rollback goes through, I should have my old supply hoard back.

I only need cords of one damage area unless multiple people griefed in multiple places. The only reason I even need the cords to to check logs for a name.

Once I have a name, one command will undo everything that player has ever done on the server. Everything they built, everything they destroyed, everything they stole. Prism does save contents of chests as well, yes, as well as who interacted with them and what was changed with each interaction. It can even roll back your death, giving you your items back. The world will be as if that person never existed. And then I ban them.

./prism rb r:global p:(name) t:30d
./gban (name) Griefing, being a dick

Thats it.

Crisis averted.

With the first sweep of His hand, KYAD healed the land.
With the second sweep of His hand, KYAD banished the sinners.
All was right with the world.
Praise be to KYAD and the holy PRISM.

The ending of the words is MNCRFT.

Checked the rail station by the spawn area, looks like somebody got blasted by a creeper (possibly a charged creeper?) and damaged the stairs by the entrance. I had something of a chicken farm there to supplement the public wheat farm, but I'm not that fond of it as didn't do much in the way of production.

I'm a little disappointed at the fact that they took the map I had hanging up in the rail station lobby, too.

[rhx123]

Is this thing still around? Be interesting to check out what happened to it

[z64555]

Hmm? Which thing?
The server was still active at least a week ago,  Kyad and them were working on a new lobby in prep for the move to 1.8. I'll likely be on tonight as well. Data capped internet sucks at times. :c

[z64555]

Double post. sigh.

A player by the name of General_Ray has been building quite near the spawn, not sure if this is allowable or not. Also noticed somebody has been messing with the central rail station... a big block of bedrock at the top is kinda hard to miss.

I think that might be my dad... does anything look like a pyramid?
I think I asked him to steer clear of spawn, but can't recall... I'll look into it.

EDIT: Is there a functional dynmap, or can anybody recommend a good, working map mod? Thanks.

EDIT2: The pyramid is his, and I think the little square wooden tower. The grinder, house, and dirt obelisk are not. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't have the capability to build bedrock above anything.
Anyway, I've spoken the unspoken rule about not building so close to spawn. The pyramid is probably the last we'll see of his so close.

Yes. It is, most definitely a pyramid of sandstone. Not sure where he got said sandstone since there isn't any sand near the spawn. He might be warping back and forth from a sand biome (like the old spawn) to his place to do it. There's also a glass tower with lava lamps nearby that's likely his. lol.

Re: dynmap, I tried the one Kyad linked several weeks ago, but I never got it to work.

[Sandwich]

Sandwich: Sorry it took so long, but I promoted you and gave you access to the Fenris worldguard.

There are a few ways to get to it.

Method 1:

You should be in plotworld. At the center of plotworld there should be a portal that leads to the overworld. From there you can either fly straight up to Y= 256 in which case you will be auto teleported to the same X/Z in spaceworld, or there is another portal in that small spawn area that goes to space world.

Method 2:

Ignore all that, do /menu, and use the menu system to warp you to spaceworld directly.

Either way, Fenris should be up and to your left (X= -60 Z= 60). We do have prism running in case of particularly nasty mistakes.

So somehow I've missed all notifications of topic replies until recently. O.O

I'll see if I can figure things out with the Fenris soon. Been slammed with work lately.

Offline. Will have new URL for 1.8. Unified Dynmap was... ugly. Hard to work with, too many worlds.

Fenris is still in space world, but the underlying things may have changed. I'll make sure you have Fenris access and probably add it to the warps menu directly if it isn't already.
