I did /d chicken just now, and got kicked off the server with a long error message. Is this common?

Something about an internal exception

This is based off the time-honored decoding board game, Mastermind .

I'm thinking of a 4-digit number (zero is a digit).  You have 8 chances to guess it.

For each guess, I will return the following information:

! = number is correct in the right place
. = number is correct, but in the wrong place.

For example, say the number was 1234.  Say your guess was 1432.  That means your response would be "!!..", or 2 digits in the right place, 2 correct digits in the wrong place.  (this information is not placeholder specific).  

If there are duplicate numbers in the guess (1111), they cannot all be awarded a marker unless they correspond to the same number of duplicates.  In this case: "!" would be the response (one digit in the right place).

This is a helpful strategy to at least find out what the right numbers are.  But remember, you only have 8 chances, so if you try 1111, 2222, 3333, etc., you will run out of chances before you try all the digits.

The winner will be able to select the new 4-digit number to guess, and the game continues.

So...  Anybody dare to make the first guess?

So I caught a video a while back of players doing a "3 block challenge" and thought it might be cool to do and see if others want to try. The basics are simple: build a structure using only 3 block types. The hitch: use three types that don't normally go together or blocks you don't generally use.


So here's my challenge to y'all: The 3 block choices are
Red Sandstone (including half slabs and stairs)
Dark Prismarine
Snow block.

The goal: build a structure that will fit in one chunk (16x16 blocks) using only these blocks.
Exceptions: you may light the structure as long as the lighting is not part of the structure (i.e. placing lamp posts outside the build, sinking glowstone into the ground around the build, placing torches inside to light it up).
Take a screenshot and post it to this thread if you do this challenge. I am interested to see what people come up with.

No cheating! (aka using a Chess computer)

Using Chess Notation, play a game of Chess vs. ME - Landline.  I'll be white.  Anybody can make the next black move.  

Hint: Keep track of the moves on an actual chess board.  No, not even I can visualize it in my head.

So last night (GMT), I entered my portal area into the nether and began the process of clearing out a large area of netherrack to start the process of a build I am making. I paid Steasaur and mackin4life $250 each to complete the job of clearing it out. At the time, I had to log off as food was ready, so I entrusted them to get the job done and paid them at the time (mackin4life messaged me asking for payment).

I came back within the hour and they had already logged off by then. No further clearing out of the area had been attempted by them.

Happy to provide chat logs to a mod or admin if required.

Payment logs will also show I paid both mackin4life and Steasaur $250 each

Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): I was banned on Hometown SMP.

Minecraft name: Baconitus

Reason for your ban: I trespassed Swiss Flags after being Permabanned from the park.

Who banned you: ShiShuan Hope I spelled that right?

Why should you be unbanned: I did this a little while ago, shortly after after Swiss challenged me into breaking into his park. I did a block glitch where you can jump 1 block higher if you place a block shortly after you land and jump, not a hack, just a minecraft glitch. He told me to TP to him and I didn't trust him so I declined. He then banned me from the park and I messed around with him a little shortly after. One day later, I decided to mess with him, I wouldn't say full on griefing but subtle trolling. I was mad and did this as an act of defiance from the situation that happened the day earlier. I guess this kinda helps but after that, I realized I would probably be banned and I regretted my decision. I placed blocks where they were and etc. I left the premises and decided to avoid the area. I will say, I did fuck up since Swiss did ask me if I wanted to Confess with anything and I remained silent. I acknowledge I did bad but I don't think I really should be perma-banned. I help newbies across the server by donating and building for them. I also am pretty active in the community/chat as well but I don't think that helps, I mean if it does cool.

Why do you want to come back: I want to come back because I miss the players on this server. Including Nyo "the go-to fly guy", Reprive who helped a 9 year old, Epsilon the Coal Addict, Miu the programmer , AuraBoom the awkwardly-dyed mooshroom, Rayz Iron(wo)Man, Nuke's easily exploitable price's and  depressive self , Lex's candy  Island, xInquisitive's noice building, TheGolden4th and his museum, FeelsMishMan (nuff' said) and Divergent's dank music. These are examples of all the great people I've met on this server and I hope to spend more time with them

Yesterday was my two year anniversary on HomeTown unfortunately I was busy, but it was worth it. Anyways: well, today is officially my two years of HomeTown. Its weird to think about when I first joined. I had a certain set of friends with a few new people, of whom I branched out to. Now as today stands, my first set of friends no longer play. I do keep in touch with most of them. Its crazy to think over two years, I have found new people. People who have made me into someone different and better. Three of the current staff have changed my whole aspect on life, and have made me realize that I can achieve so much more if I put my mind to it. They know who they are. As of today. I am a mod who has gained an understanding of life during the time on this server. I have met many people, with life problems, celebrations and many other things. But today isn't just about me. Today is about how much one person can change in what seems a long time, but is actually not that long. The past two years, have been a set of new experiences and lets say amazing. Even during the times of people suffering, and my own, I have met and learned about amazing people. As of today I have a stable set of friends who care for me and a few people who go that extra bit to make me happy. Thank you to everyone who I know today. And I cannot forget the one person who I have spoken to since day one, Chickne. Thank you, and have a good day guys.

Reason for your ban:rule 4

Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP

Minecraft name: MostlyGhostie

Reason for your ban: Grief?

Who banned you: Kat

Why should you be unbanned: No idea what I "griefed" and I would at least like to know what I did that was considered a [font=\\Exo 2\\, sans-serif]grief. I keep to myself most of the time so I do not know what I did wrong.[/font]

Why do you want to come back: I invested time into the server and enjoy myself there.

So it seems I came 2nd place in March top voters, so when I logged in the server, I received a pm stating that I received VIP 1 and 3 Vindicator eggs, I felt really happy, so I checked and I had the Vindicator eggs, but not the VIP 1...So my question is, does the process in getting VIP 1 takes a few more days to be applied? or, there was a mistake in the system and it wasn't applied at all? or simply the message stated the prize wrong and second place only receives 3 vindicator eggs?
