    Edit: Didn't read OP, woops.

    trying over and over to /ban someone. I didn't read the message that said "You don't have permission." I just kept on going until my little heart blew out.

    I borrowed my mayor's Fortune 3 pickaxe to break the Redstone ore I had been collecting. I just jumped and placed them under my feet. Had well over a 100 high tower.... Then I fell off. Had time to write "I'm dead" before i hit the ground. vtnick

    Well on the old forums on June 18th 2012 (The day I joined the forums) I saw in the news area of the forums that there was a application for a bouns ($400 a day for 3 days) and I thought whoa, that's a lot of money. So I go to the thread where you were supposed to place the application. So I go there but it's locked. I'm dumbfounded. So then I go to general section and place the application there.

    My first week being on the server, I get enough money to buy a plot and use iceman1347 spawner to get enough exp to enchant something. (when mobs spawned in main world and exp was to lvl 50) I enchanted an axe on my first try and got an Eff 5 Unb 3 Silk Touch 1 Axe which I sold for 15k, which at the time could go anywhere from 60k to 100k. However, I was able to get resident!

    I was on this server since January 2012 but only started "playing" in November because at first all I wanted to do was explore the "pretty towns". FAIL

    Building a nice starter house and farm in main world (before mining world), logging off for a few days, when I get back it's greifed. BUT THEN I TRY (in chat) TO GET A MOD TO COME AND ROLL IT BACK! DOUBLE FAIL

    Trying to farm melons without water. FAIL

    Wondering why I couldn't teleport. FAIL

    Buying 5 plots in various towns and forgetting about them. FAIL

    I bought a plot in Hiketon and started making an awesome hotel. Then they go and wipe it, and I have no idea what happened! FAIL

    As you can see, I was an idiot when I was a Builder.

    biggest fail hmm.... i do remeber some of my many. I know i tried to go to the nether for about 10-20 mins and raged at my computer for randomely turning me around and also i recall getting a new enchanted diamond shovel, going outside the town i lived in and started clearing some land to show off my new shovel only to fall into a crevice which of course had a little lava pool which only my new shovel managed to landed in. I then got anouther shovel a while later and i went out to the same spot looked over the edge of the crevice i had fallen into not but a few days ago and not shifting, ya i managed to lose everything that time. I may not have been the smartest builder but ik im wasnt the worst xD

    I can list a few of them.

    Diving into a PvP match.
    Opening a door and then falling into a lava trap (which made me rage in the SGames)
    Not locking chests in my house.
    Tilling soil and trying to place water.

    Falling down while holding shift because I thought that I would be invincible because of my lvl 5 acrobatics.
    Again and again going through an invalid Stargate Portal.
    I'm trying to think of more fails.
    Little do you know I written this in code.

    As builder I was what you might call a "major noob"... I hadn't learned how to /sell hand for about 3 months after I joined the server. After about a month after I learned to /sell hand I had lots of iron and gold from trying to mine from one end of the world to the other I decided to buy a plot (very expensive) with my 8.5k. I had a 20x20 1 level pumpkin/melon/wheat farm, and a 14x12 house that I decided to completely tear down and remodel 3 times. The first time it was a modern wooden house, the second time it had coal ore walls and redstone ore roof, the third look was jack o' lantern walls and a mellon roof.after a few months I had enough money for res so I decided to look around on the forums for like 3 hours xD and couldn't figure out how to apply for res... So a couple months later with like 30k in my bal I decided to try again and SUCCEEDED!!!!!!!
