Spent all my money on a plot, build a farm, he then removed me for no reason, (he even admitted it) then destroyed my farm and didn't give anything back. He then said mean things about me in global, and i lost my home, as i set it at his town.

 

Wow... so he'd scam builders for their money... n00b

 

Edit

 

Hmm... I got scammed several times as a builder and a res but didn't think to take pics. Oh... stupidest thing I did... probably stupidest.

I used to have a small farm in the wild with a lil wheat farm and I used to threaten builders with my diamond sword because I thought it was a pvp zone and thus perfectly acceptable to kill them if they touched my stuff. Oddly enough, no one ever tested me on that.

 

I was in my cave home, and after digging down I suddenly found lava.

I think I did /worth and realized that each obsidian was $10 "oh! That's why everyone is so rich!"

So I went back to the surface, used some iron I had to make buckets and got some water.

1st Try: Digging down, suddenly a very deep fall. Dead.
2nd Try: Dug down too much. Killed in lava within seconds.
3rd Try: I was tired of failing, so I went down slowly and carefully. Eureka! The lava lake is in front of me! I almost start announcing
victory when suddenly..."Only users who have donated for Water may place it."

I was frustrated at the limit, so I tried to see if I could do something to make it work. I found flowing water some blocks above and decided to connect it to the lava to make obsidian. Success. Though I remembered the fact that you need a Diamond Pickaxe to gather it, so I had to go to the market. Diamonds had a higher price back then, so I bought a Pickaxe for $250. And here we go again...

1st Try: Died in Lava when approaching the obsidian, silly mistake.
2nd Try: Had to buy another Pickaxe. Placed Cobblestone on the lava, Died After breaking some obsidian, forgot lava was still below it.
3st Try: Last Pickaxe I could afford, made sure I wouldn't die this time. I collected about 20 obsidian and went back to my home as there was no more to break, and the Pickaxe broke in the way. Waited patiently until I could use kit starter again, lost all my other tools in the first death.

Daily Earnings: -$500. Selling Dirt to the server was definitely a better business for me...but oh well, I wasn't really sure about how enchantments or materials worked, so I thought, Who needs an Enchanted Diamond Shovel? The unenchanted stone one is doing just fine!

TL;DR: Unsuccesful Builder is Unsuccesful.

 

Biggest fail: Getting scammed over 50K total thinking they would get me a donation feature, and also wasting all my money buying a bunch of plots in my first town and moving out a few weeks later.

 

That's funny :D
Really funny, my only thoughts...

 

i got a EFFv axe in 1.2.5 and lost it in the nether i think kecks07 remembers that

 

I would spend hours mining cobble stone and sell it in local at spawn.

 

My builder days were sad...
- I went to the wild and started mining with a stone pickaxe. I made a saddening $200/hr for 75 hours to get resident!

 

when i was a builder i regret not talking to anyone

i also regret that as a builder i had 100k. when i got res and had another 85k laying around, i did not realize that mayor was 85k, so i went on an enchanting spree and lost about 50k

 

Well, my biggest fail SO FAR, was shouting "THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST: WAFFLES INCOMING!!!!!"
I lose at life...

 

Just wait...

 

i had no fails at all as a builder...
but some fun stories to make up for it!
As a builder i got a plot within seconds of joining server.
As a resident i bought extcommands from a builder, didn't get scammed at all <3

 

Bought like 4 plots...
never used any of them...
I built a house in the wild. I walked down the stairs and out and fell in a pit....

 

I had sold a guy stack of diamond ore for 5$ each.........this was when they were worth like 400$ each. when i found out i raged xD it took me 3 days of mining to get all that diamond ore not to mention my silk pickaxe broke during that mining trip. lol

 

My biggest fail as a builder was... none, i was just to lazy to mine and had no money to make a farm so i just asked around for jobs and said i was trying to raise 15k to become res. and someone gave me all 15k!

 

First off, only having 5 melon crops and waiting for them to grow then selling them and my first post on ecc.

Laugh all you can, I am sure its not that bad
