So, one of my friends runs a Minecraft server. It was pretty private; just a few of his friends on it so whatever. Then he opened it up to people on other servers by basically fucking up their servers with mad griff and then advertising his own. I could kind of deal with that since it didn't actually work. Then he actually
paid some people to be Admins on the server. So pretty much all of the original regulars, including myself, decided to leave because he becomes a gigantic controlling self-absorbed cunt when he's given any level of authority over people.
One of the group voiced his concerns and reasons for leaving, and then got perma-banned for "not respecting authority". That was the thing that broke any facade of civility on the issue.
Me and one of the newer members who considered the owner's behaviour to be unacceptable logged on when he wasn't. His name began with a Z so that's what I'll refer to him here. Z and I hunted down all of the owner's bases (as well as the bases of some guy who supports all of the stupid things he does and generally stirs up more trouble, like aforementioned authority based perma-ban) and then Z tore them down. But from their corpses, I did build. Tacle Spires, reaching up to scratch the heavens. After an hour or so all of his biggest bases had been turned into
pointless structures architecture more beautiful that could be imagined.
I think the message more or less got across.
