To get to the 'Grand Prize', I had to team up with someone else who also solved a riddle. The only options were Dot5, one of the best pvp-ers at the time, or JoeyC9, an old player who I knew nothing about. Naturally, I decided to work together with Joey. Everything seemed to go well. He had access to the x-coordinate of the Grand Prize, while I knew the z-coordinate. We exchanged coordinates and started walking in the nether. Then, out of nowhere, a player named 'bushd' shows up and star...read more

The final riddle was presented a few days later: "A hill Leo sees from a Birch TrEE", with a link to a GIF with a calculator on it. After some failed attempts at math, HondenMug (Dips) suggests typing it on a calculator and turning it upside down, like we did in the good old days with '80085'. Walking to the coordinates gave nothing, so we tried swapping the x and z coordinate. Turns out it was correct! We solved the final riddle! The prize included some mapart, and clues to the 'Grand Pr...read more

Together with my basemates, we tried to solve the second riddle presented in the annual Riddler Games, which was: "Your Prize Awaits you where Twee Detto I do!". After a bit of puzzling, we realised this actually meant "where two said: 'I do'", indicating a wedding site.  However, when rushing to the momana wedding site, we could see no prize in the location. After at least an hour of walking around the site, we gave up. Apparently, we were at the right location, but the prize was hidden ...read more

After speaking Dutch in chat with a few people from the Netherlands, I suddenly get a private message asking if I want to be part of a Dutch base. Only having based solo so far, I excitedly say yes and start walking to the coordinates. Together with my basemates: Rodeljoep, DishonoredDonkey, Dips_, houtduif, and some others, we started building. These people were the first 'friends' I made on the server; I would share everything interesting with them and no one else. At this time, I built...read more

After spending a few days in a cobblestone shed grinding for diamond gear and tools with light enchants, I decide to walk far away to create my solo base (image). I spent about two weeks building here, gathering all materials myself. Then, someone in chat gave coordinates to a supposed 'dupe stash'. Obviously, no sane person would trust a stranger posting coordinates in chat, but somehow, I did. And it actually paid off! What I found was a looted stash, with some leftover shulkers that we...read more
