This is how I play Minecraft now. • Quisby

This is how I play Minecraft now. →

Throwaway account, can’t have you server admins all over me :)

I got bored playing Minecraft, building this, building that, mine mine mine for hours on end. I found a way to totally change things up. Hear me out, because this is technically griefing I guess…

The SMP server I’m playing on is a role-playing server of sorts, it has an economy and a rather large central town. In the centre of town is a large statue type structure made entirely of solid gold blocks. Passing through town one day I decided that I’m gonna pull off the greatest gold heist in the history of Minecraft (probably not the greatest, but I’m thinking large here).

So, I’ve spent the last week putting all of the pieces in place for this to go down. Some players on the server like to build things for other players in return for gold and diamonds. I am slowly building an underground army of players, and none of them know my true intentions. I’ve got one guy working the underground tunnel to my exact specifications (right underneath the booty), another guy collecting intel on the players that hang around town (to work out their patterns and where they live), and another guy who is going to run interference when it’s time to burgle town square. All are under contract and know nothing of each other or of my own goals, and they are all sworn to secrecy.

I used to build structures. Now I build underground criminal networks.

The emergent gameplay possibilities in Minecraft gives me a gigantic, rock hard erection
