The Age of Carnage

Backstory

Following the death of BlueLegionary, once the symbolic figurehead of the Age of Blood, the server plunged into an era of relentless violence, chaos, and betrayal. This dark chapter—initially fractured into the Age of War, Age of Destruction, and Age of Evil—is now recognized collectively as the Age of Carnage. Named by Smartercob, who rose to prominence as the era’s defining figure, this period marks a brutal turning point in server history.

The Collapse Begins

In the immediate aftermath of the Death of BlueLegionary, conflict erupted across the server. New players suffered the most as murders surged. During this period, griefers emerged in droves. On April 9th, player XenoKino lava-casted the 0,0 region, sparking server-wide debates about griefing boundaries. This was followed by a second, larger lava cast from an unknown player. Amid growing community pressure, lava casts were officially banned, and the 0,0 region was restored by server admins.

The Rise of Destruction

On April 19th, the server descended further with the arrival of StarForgeXL, who immediately griefed bases belonging to ComplexFrquency, vines420, and FatherCream. He publicly declared his intent to destroy all bases, sharing screenshots of his actions. ComplexFrquency, enraged, rallied help from the Skulk Syndicate, forming the first-ever collaboration between Team Vortex and the Syndicate. Together, they tracked and executed StarForgeXL in a nearby savanna biome.

The same day, a high-profile trap was sprung on SillySelene. This was a coordinated operation by the Skulk Syndicate, noavier (who officially joined the group soon after), and Moctezuma0. This event further cemented the Syndicate’s growing influence.

During this time, Kosmiau became notorious for setting trapped houses near spawn, leading to at least 11 confirmed player deaths. Investigation led by vines420, who analyzed block statistics (notably Skulk Sensors), identified Kosmiau as the culprit.

The Descent into Evil

After a brief lull, violence spiked once again on April 26th. Player R2aye began documenting a series of dramatic deaths:

• FatherCreams killed baggsbrozYT on video.
• Weerwy committed suicide atop a pillar.
• 2344523432 ambushed and killed FatherCreams using an end crystal.

Later, USPingLord attempted and failed to assassinate spartan2185 at R2aye’s base. That same day, 2344523432 rigged a TNT trap in the base’s librarian room, allegedly targeting USPingLord. However, R2aye triggered the trap and was killed, heightening distrust toward 2344523432.

Regulation and Resistance

On April 27th, 6Dike and Hqllxween confronted noavier near spawn. A tense standoff escalated, ending in Hqllxween’s death. Noavier later claimed self-defense, citing the threat of Hqllxween’s end crystals. In response to the controversy, Moctezuma0 authored The Hqllxween Accords, a proposed PvP guideline restricting end crystal use. Five players signed the document shortly after.

Ongoing Violence and Pursuits

The chaos escalated on April 28th, when 2344523432 ambushed PoorGrammar313 at Zanther76’s base. PoorGrammar313’s emergency call prompted a second joint response by members of Team Vortex and Skulk Syndicate (Specifically SmarterCob from Team Vortex, McSlimy from the Skulk Syndicate, and mordaken), but 2344523432 evaded capture. He vowed revenge against PoorGrammar313.

On April 29th, 2344523432 killed keystrokelogger in the End. Hours later, USPingLord killed Niskashaa, but soon after, the two murderers turned on each other. They fought in the End dimension, with both surviving. USPingLord ultimately conceded victory and retreated.
