Massive Griefing in Kumatora Village

I will only tell what i have seen to my fullest knowledge of truth.
Just a couple of minutes ago, i was near the docks in kumatora village when suddenly the server began to lag. After the lag was over, iwas heading back to my house and noticed that several blocks were missing from it and all the lava and water started to flow completely out of control.
here are some pictures:

Over time, i noticed more and more blocks keep disappearing and the water and lava keep finding more ways to spread in and out my house. As my brother SPGiygas arrived on the server, we observed the rest of the village and found several other strange structures and edits we are unsure if they are ment to be or not.

I talked to an admin about the case and he said that in the records, it was myself who broke the blocks keeping the lava and water under control. By my best knowledge of what the truth is, i have to say that this is not possible. Not only was i over 20 blocks away from my house when that happened, also there were several blocks all over my house missing at the same time, including obsidian blocks which take more than a second to break. How can it be any possible that i would be able to break several blocks at different locations and of different material at the perfect same time?

Well this is for what i know... i would really appreciate help. Best would be a rollback. Thank you for taking your time.

um btw i can break obsidian in about 2 seconds ... not acusing you or saying it was me ... just saying i can

sadly this post doesent help getting things sorted out or fixed at all...

This has got to be the work of a 'custom' client, I can't see it being anything else.

Well when exactly where these changes happening? i cant clearly get that from the messages in the pictures.
I do admit that i have been editing my house a bit ago but the thing is that multible obsidian and glass blocks disappeared within less than a second after the "lag" as i described it ended

WTF is that in the eight slot in your inventory?! and custom clients are a no-no

i think its bone in his texture pack

I added more pictures.
By the way this is how my house looks now.

AGAIN i did not edit it at all it became looking like that by appearently itself!

This clearly proves my point. Someone rolled back environment without a radius constrant and all blocks touching any flowed lava disappeared and boom you got this. You described lag, that comes with rollbacks. Lava is still there because you placed the original lava so it didn't remove that. That is my opinion. I think this is solved then.

Perhaps it was God undoing his actions!

This seems like a likely idea too, but skoglol claimed it was happening one after the other.

whatever the reason is, we NEED a rollback!

Seemed to me that way since the griefwhine in chat had already started as I logged on, but that may very well have been another kind of grief.

Well it takes a bit for people to detect griefs, like since Iwasn't on I didn't find out for hours . Also based on banning and unbanning of 'environment' this could be a second rollback.

So... after this has been discussed now for a bit, i would like to know if there are ANY steps beeing taken about the kumatora grief/rollback glitch?

Any steps? We are still investigating, though you can orc/xlt or another admin for some supplys to repair damages etc when they are online.

What are to co-ords of Kumatora Village btw?

/home NeroTheDarkLord will probably take you there.

Tried it, took me to a house in the middle of nowhere.. I've found it now though

I currently relocated my /home at the north-east corner of the map for the time until the investigation is complete and i recive an answer about what will be done about what happened.

Nero, can you come on the server and guide me what was where etc?

Left the glass how it was, wasn't sure if you were planning on repairing it or if you wanted it removing.

oh uhm ok give me a second

It seems I can't login at the mo, can you?

YarwoodUK wrote:It seems I can't login at the mo, can you?

nope. Cant log on eighter

If you're planning to get all chatty: use PMs.

The thread is still open as other Mods+ will probably be dealing with the damage too (e.g. Orcworm fixed the lava)

I don't see the interest in the urge to lock every topic, it's not as if the forums uses too much Bandwidth?

^And it's not as if we care if too much bandwidth is used ;p.

Yea, I was gonna say, if it was, I'm sure we could delete some old logs or backups or something.. Then remembered the .forumotion (/fail avoided)

And it's not as if I locked the topic... I don't even lock "solved" stuff, Orc and Pure do that.

Just a FYI everyone. The Mass Grief in my village was caused by that rollback discussed in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. A theorie was mentioned there when someone rolls back someone's edits without giving a radius, it may cause blocks next to lava to disappear. Nero had some Lava around his house, you can think the rest for yourself I guess. I already repaired some damage on the streets of Kumatora and on Nero's house due to the fact that the rollback wont happen. The glass blocks are repaired but there are still some missing obsidian blocks.

And me!

Sometimes.

When I'm bored and need something to do.

That was pretty much spam bro.

Bring out the Holy Ban-Grenade of Antioch for this miscreant!

Hey, what's with the Necro, Ruly? Please read the rules... >.<

Sorry, y'all. My only defense was being very tired after a 14 hour shift and slightly tipsy from my post-work three-glasses-of-Morgan-and-Coke. Totally wasn't myself when I did this earlier.

Appeal: accepted

And now I'm locking it so Rulyon can choose a different thread tomorrow.

No, denied! You're banned forever from my forum!
