I have a raiding story to share with you that I am now allowed to share with you because its about me and the boys doing some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on one of your older minecraft servers a good few years ago.

So me I was exploring the server using /rtp, lookin' for resources or some this-n-that to explore or get into. Many bases had leftover pickings after getting nuked and their owners leaving. Well, sometime into this, I happened upon a base with walls of stone. Turrets mounted along top of the wall, with only some functional. Wind mills could be seen from afar, based within the stronghold. But there were was no one there!

It was a simple enough task to infiltrate in over the wall and past any functioning turrets, being augmented in my robot suit. I found that the base was still "active" with the whole factions protections thing going on. The protected area was almost exclusively over this shack, which was blocked off with a door, and a trapdoor inside that I could spy through the holes in the door's textures. It all definitely had my interest, as this my first base that had no active members there online, and hadn't already been raided to ♥♥♥♥.

So, I went back to my own base, hit my friends up on skype, as that was the software to use back in the day, and coordinated with them to raid this place. I borrowed a rocket launcher and some ammo from our stash, loaded up on some chests, and in tow with one of my friends, we went back to this base.

The plan was to set up a small temp area just with chests, right outside the protections area of the base I had found, so that any loot we gathered could be quickly moved. The loot would be from me strategically shooting up the shack to peel away its walls and flooring, exploring for loot chests. And boy, did the plan work. Quiet a few loot chests were found - but we quickly realized we ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. There was an ungodly amount of items that would've taken forever to craft - unless one had admin help. This was the base of at least a mod-ranked player.

We quickly raided the rest of the base for any and ALL scraps. Anything placed, wire, anything. All the admin-loot. Everything. All put back into our base. Of course, we now had at least a very strong suspicion we ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up in carrying out the raid. No real sense in stopping since we already did the damage, ya know? Didn't know if the server had any plugins for detecting grief, or who had been in the area, or what.

So we decided to do pull a two-birds, one-stone scenario. We were despreately curious about some of the explosives the server had with the mods, and we now had a testing site. We used various types of massively destructive bombs on the site of that base we had raided, and in doing so completely covered up the fact that anything was actually looted. Just looks like the place was found and used as target practice... which it was, ultimately.

And at the end of the day, we got away with having a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of admin loot :D
