In map 2, around the bridge, I had recently crafted an iron sword. I went to the chest in the nearby forest and obtained, sadly, a bone and a fishing rod. I scouted a bit further and saw three people sprint-jumping towards me with menacing skins and each individually with better armor (two of them had iron swords, one had a diamond sword). While they were racing down the bridge towards, the crafting table, I cut to the right towards to the obsidian, then leaped into the water. They hesitated, then pursued. The only thing is, they were WAY spaced out, like 20 blocks.
So what I ended up doing is heading under the first guy, who had gold helm, chain chest, gold pants, chain boots, and an iron sword.
I killed him with half a heart left. The next person had caught up by then, a hairs length away from being in hitting range. If only I'd put that fishing rod in my hotbar...
He was clearly sprinting through the water, and I was half a hunger short of regen. It looked like it was over. But I decided my only chance was to take a risk. I dipped down to the ocean floor, began sprinting, and rose a bit, then whipped around quickly and whacked him away with incredible knockback. In the two second time frame this had granted me, I equipped the fishing rod, and ate a cookie. They chased me down the river for a bit as I kept knocking them back and regenerating.
When I had reached seven hearts, I went to face the next guy (I was too impatient to wait for ten hearts). The next guy had iron helm, iron chest, leather pants, gold boots, and, god forbid, a diamond sword. If I'd had enough time to equip the first guy's armor, I would've. But for now I would have to face him with my mixed leather, gold, and chain array of low quality.
So I dipped below him and we began swinging away. Immediately I noticed something was wrong... although I couldn't quite figure it out. I desperately approached the border, and saw someone with a normal skin, leather pants, and a stone sword. He was on the big-tree side of the river watching the fight carefully. He then sprang into the river and began to pursue the person who was about to kill me.
It was then that I noticed something peculiar. His head was swinging back and forth between me and the other guy. It was aimbot. I wish I'd been recording, I could've gotten rid of him. I backed up and watched the aimbotter and the noob duel. The victor was clear. However, I must admit, that other guy was good at PvP and had actually gotten more hits on him, despite his opponent being an aimbotter. After he finished, he turned to me, I had now begun to swim towards him. He must have been on low health, because immediately he began to back away. I went down to collect the other guy's stuff, obtaining some pointless pants and a weaker sword, but something else I hadn't had in the beginning.
A bow. I noticed excitedly that I had 2 arrows in the very last space in my hotbar. Lucky move. It was all I needed to kill the second person in the team. The final person on the team had been swimming towards me the whole time. He had no helm, iron chest, leather pants, iron boots, and an iron sword. Weakest for last. I had great confidence, I was at full health and ready to fight.
But I wasn't the only one who had a bow; he began to snipe me. He was good at aiming, but he wasn't an aimbotter for sure, he missed a couple times. After firing a ton of arrows, I only had 3 hearts, and began to cower. But since we were next to the border, I couldn't go much farther. I fishing rodded him away and hopped up to the beach, running through the forest by the big tree. At 5 and a half hearts, I stopped regenerating. I noticed I had no food left, the cookie had been the last piece.
But I had a bowl. I frantically collected mushrooms and crafted soup as he sprint-jumped towards me. As I finished eating, he struck me once, and immediately I began to run like hell, but simultaneously regenerating. I then proceeded to turn around and head back down the river away from the border to get some more time. Again, I got impatient, whipped around with eight hearts, and saw him right there. This was my chance. I dipped below him and hit him three times, immediately gaining the upper hand, and I ended up killing him in the end.
Woop.
By the way, if you don't want to read all of this, I don't blame you.
