I'm still in the lead with 3,724 words :

This gave me a headache when I scrolled through it!

 

[Mooclan]

Alright, I was going to go play a game of League of Legends, but since I was tagged here I'll make a long post. cadbane4321, prepare to have your rear end handed to you.


(I'm just making this sound really mad, I'm not actually mad)
First of all, Cadbane, that was a cheap, pointless way to get in the lead.

Now I'm going to rant >:3
League of Legends - First, I'll start with my favorite Champion, Heimerdinger.
Heimerdinger is known as "The Revered Inventor" because he, often by himself, has invented and created many machines and "Techmaturgical" devices, and overall enhanced technology in the League of Legends world, known as Runeterra.

Oh, wait! I haven't gone into Runeterra's lore! Yes, lore. It is a very important thing in League of Legends, as it explains where characters come from, what they do, why they have certain skills, and many other things.

Runeterra is a continent with a few different countries/tribes.
First, there's Demacia. (Zaex) Led by the line of Jarvan's and currently Jarvan IV, if I recall correctly, it stands for justice, might, and all noble virtues. It lies along the west coast of Valoran, where its people all aim to disseminate benevolence and create a better environment for everyone.
One of their most famous soldiers is Garen, the Might of Demacia, along with others such as Fiora, the Grand Duelist, Galio, the Sentinel's Sorrow, Lucian, the Purifier, Lux, the Lady of Luminosity, Poppy, the Iron Ambassador, Quinn and Valor, Demacia's Wings, Shyvana, the Half-Dragon, Sona, the Maven of Strings, Vayne, the Night Hunter, and Xin Zhao, the Seneschal of Demacia.

I currently have been playing a lot of Lucian, who happens to originate from Demacia. He is a ranged marksman, also known as an Attack Damage Carry, or ADC for short. When playing Lucian, usually you want to focus on purchasing attack damage items, such as a Bloodthirster, Black Cleaver, and Last Whisper. Trinity force is also an excellent item on him, and Blade of the Ruined King is also somewhat popular. A Guardian Angel with help him survive a lot more, but if you need to you can purchase separate Magic Resist and Armor items, such as a Frozen Heart/Randuin's Omen and Maw of Malmortius, as they also have other helpful statistics.

Lucian's Lore: (Mooclan Summary ;3)

He originates from Demacia, according to Demacia's page. He and his wife, Senna, worked together using matching guns to "purify" dark places. Lucian's kindness touched the hearts of those they saved, while Senna's dedication never faltered.
Together they saw horrors that would tear the souls of hardened warriors, but they stood firm through it all. Eventually, their adventures led them to the Shadow Isles, as souls had been manifesting across Runeterra. That was where they met the soul-collecter, Thresh. They had faced scarier, but no one as clever, or as devious and cruel. Some time during their encounter, Thresh managed to trick and trap Senna, Lucian's partner, in a spectral prison. Lucian knew that she was lost, and could not be saved. For the first time ever, Lucian was alone.

What Thresh did was take one of two of the Shadow Isles' most dangerous enemies, and create the most dangerous single person they had ever faced. Thresh had stripped Lucian of his kindness, and turned him into a cold, hard, killing machine. In honor of his fallen comrade, he took up her weapon, and served to purge the Shadow Isles of all that is dark and dangerous. He knows Senna is lost, but one day he hopes to be able to put her at peace.

And now that my story concludes (Yes, I did look at the Background page for Lucian while writing it) I'll move onto my PvP Guide!

Mooclan’s MCSG and PvP Guide

Please note, this Guide is designed with legitimate fights in mind. Fighting a hacker is much tougher, and this Guide is not intended to cover such fights.
~PvP~

PvP in general, regardless of server.
1. Do not use any performance-improving mods or hacks! Learn to play legitimately, and you’ll do well on any computer, assuming you have a standard keyboard/mouse or trackpad, whichever you’re used to. Computer-improving mods, such as Optifine, are good. When I say “Performance-improving”, I mean things that would give you an advantage over the other players, such as Better Sprint Mod, Aimbot, ForceField, Etc. You will be looked down upon by players that play legitimately and are still good. If you can learn to fight well without any of these, that’s great!

2. Strafe! No matter what people say, strafing is an excellent technique, assuming you can do it correctly and efficiently. One way to strafe is by moving left and right. Circle the opponent, get behind them. Doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as you can avoid the opponents’ hits. Sometimes you can just walk right through them, turn around, and knock them around. An effective tip for strafing is to stick close to the opponent. Don’t make large loops around them, because it will give them more time to aim at you (And hit you). Circle them in small, tight loops, so that you can easily confuse and get behind them.

3. Stun them! There’s rumors that if you can hit the opponent in a certain way, then they will be stunned, and unable to retaliate. This is partially true. If you are able to move fast enough and efficiently, you can accumulate massive amounts of knockback, and they won’t be able to hit you. This can often be confused for Aimbot, however, so beware of that.

4. Block-Hitting. Yeah, yeah. We’ve all heard those people saying “Oh, block-hitting is for noobs.” But it’s really not! It is a tried and tested strategy, and really does help. It lowers the damage you take, if I’m not mistaken. If you hit both the attack and block buttons in quick succession, it deals damage, while minimizing the damage that you take, and is called “Block-hitting”. It will make you move much slower, as blocking makes you move slower than sneaking will. Click the left mouse button, then the right one right after. Make the gap between left and right clicks as small as possible. Some people say to click both buttons at the same time - It doesn’t work that way for me, but feel free to try it.

5. Fishing Rods. (Rumors about Fishing Rods being unusable in 1.7) If you hit a person with a fishing rod, it deals some slight knockback. Enough to stop them from sprinting. If they are good at sprinting, as some players are, it won’t do much, but will still disorient them slightly. One way to use fishing rods is by having the person charge at you, hitting them with the fishing rod, switching to your sword, then just continuing the battle. This will stop them from sprinting, and can effectively stop them from strafing around you. It’s helpful if your mouse is slow and/or you are using a low sensitivity, or are just bad at turning in circles accurately. This also is a form of stunning, and can give you the upper hand. Knocking people into water, towards walls, obstacles, etc. can help, as players will have their movement obstructed. It’s helpful for ending chases.

6. Flint and Steel. Ah, the good old FNS. Flint and Steel, often called FNS or Flint N’ Steel, deals damage. It deals several hearts of damage over a few seconds, assuming they don’t jump into water. It will stop them from sprinting every time they take damage, so it’s a great technique for running away unless the opponent has some sort of sprint hacks. If you’re at a disadvantage, either in armor or weapons, just light ‘em up! It has many great aspects to it, so if you can learn to use it right then you’re just one step closer to getting better at PvP!

7. Altitude Differences. If you are able to get below the opponent, you can navigate into an area that you can reach the opponent, but they cannot reach you. This is caused by how Minecraft works, as "you" hit from your character's chest area. Thus, you can reach only a certain distance below you, and an entire block farther upwards. So if you're underneath, you can sometimes get several hits on the other person before you come into their range. However, it is possible to escape this, if you're the person above. Either by running away or by strafing to the sides, it's possible to reverse the flow of the battle even when above. Also, if you're on a mountain or near a cliff, it's often a good idea to try and knock your opponent off the cliff. It's particularly easy if you're above them, and they're below, if they're the one near the cliff, as you'll be able to hold your ground while they can get pushed off. However, if the roles are switched, either push straight towards them, and try to kill them before you get pushed off, or run away. Depending on the situation, running away can be difficult, and killing them first is unlikely.

8. Water PvP. Are you being chased, or chasing someone else? Unless they are absolutely terrible, having worse gear is usually fatal. Weapons are the #1 advantage you can possible have. Block-Hitting is really effective if you are being chased, but if you are the pursuer, then it will only slow you down. According to Minecraft Reach Theory, if you are below someone, then you will be able to hit them more. This is because when you are at the same level of someone, you can both hit each other at the same range. If you are above them, then your reach will be shorter, because you are two blocks tall, but don’t hit from the center of your body. You hit from somewhere around your shoulders or head, not the waist or stomach. With that in mind, you have a shorter reach downwards than you do upwards. It’s similar in real life. That way, if you get below someone then you’ll be able to hit them from further away. This is rather useful in maps with deeper water. If you’re chasing someone, don’t hit them with a fishing rod. Go into the water, sprint on the ground, then come back up. That way, you’ll be sprinting, and thus catch up to them gradually. Works best for long distances. If you’re being chased by someone, push them away with your fishing rod. Once you have enough space, then go do the sprint trick. If you have a teammate, you can push each other with fishing rods.

9. Sprinting. This is one of the mechanisms in Minecraft that makes PvP even remotely challenging. When you are hit or hit someone else, you stop sprinting. That’s why you should learn to time your sprinting perfectly and learn to double-tap the “W” key ultra-fast. While this will take several hours of practice (Took me 21 hours, if I recall correctly, to get to my current proficiency) if you can learn it properly, and learn to apply it without thinking, you’ll have a big advantage while fighting. Also, there will be maps with mountains where sprinting is a huge advantage. Getting knockback on your opponent is very valuable, especially if you are above them, hitting them downwards. They’ll be hit off the side of the mountain, and if you’re lucky they will sustain large amounts of damage, from both your hits and the fall damage. If you’re running either up or down a mountain, sprinting is again valuable. If you can sprint in the small gaps of space that it is technically possible, you can slowly inch ahead of your pursuer, or gain on the person you’re chasing. When it comes to small hills or bumps in a road, sprinting can easily be disabled just by hitting a block because you mis-timed your jump. If that happens, an opponent can cross a surprising amount of land between you and them in the time it takes the average player to re-sprint. If you learn to time your jumps and sprint faster, this will be less of an issue. Again, if you’re the one chasing them, then the opponent can escape further away. Using a sprint-training map can be especially helpful, like a timed parkour map or something similar.

10. Knockback. When you’re sprinting and hit an opponent, you’ll “Knock” them back. This can be used to stun opponents, and give them a delay. If done 100% correctly and perfectly executed, which is rare, then you can in fact escape a fight completely unharmed. Learning to combine sprinting with fishing rods and whatnot can be extremely valuable, as it can stun opponents very, very effectively. If YOU yourself are stunned, then your best bet is to retreat and try and charge again without getting stunned, unless you know how to recover from a stun quickly. Knockback can also be used to hit people into traps, off edges, and into walls. If you hit them into a wall, they will lose their sprint and will go slower.
~MCSG~
Survival Games is a much broader topic than PvP in general. As such, first I’ll split it into three groups: Regular hunger/survival games, The Hive, and the Minecraft Survival Games.

The first group is on most servers, but “MCSG” and “The Hive” are more official, custom-coded, and professionally-run. For the first type, tiers are randomized. All I can really say is to get as many chests as you can. Perhaps study the map a little bit, and find a good route.

The Hive has chests that are sometimes not there, and thus you need a longer route for. I personally don’t play it often, so I can’t give many tips aside from what I can say from my experiences in MCSG. Learn what items you can and cannot find, and how often. Try to develop methods, even if it means copying YouTubers.

Onto the Minecraft Survival Games:

This can also partially be applied to the Hive and just about any other Survival Games server.

First Stage. in the Survival Games is the Lobby. You might think it’s unimportant, but it actually can make a difference. How? That’s where you make allies and foes, of course! Avoid angering people who might target you (Who knows? They might get a stone sword off of the Cornucopia.) Make allies, if you want. If you’re confident in your solo abilities, then that’s fine. But some people prefer to play in a team. Either call over some friends from Skype/Clans, etc. or team with someone who’s in the Lobby already.

Second Stage. Pregame and the first few seconds. Don’t start sprinting with several seconds left, but rather, start sprinting just before the timer runs out. The system won’t have enough time to teleport you back, and you’ll get a little bit of a head-start. Small, yes, but everything counts. If there’s only a few chests on that map in Cornucopia, then go straight for the one in front of you. If there’s a large number of chests, then you can try heading for a chest slightly to the side. You’ll grab some loot from that chest, and there’s a larger chance that the chest in front of you is still untouched - It works for me sometimes, and I’ve gotten gear like full-iron armor and a diamond sword in the first two minutes that way. However, if there’s multiple chests, then some of them might be tier ones.

Third stage. Assuming you live this long, then try running towards your chest route. If you don’t have a chest route, then pick a cardinal direction, such as North, South, East, and West. You can find them using F3, a compass, or you can just go straight ahead in one of the directions (It’s pretty obvious how to go straight.) Keep your eyes open for both enemies, traps, and chests. Traps are rare, but if you get caught in one then you will probably die or be stuck for the rest of the game unless someone sponsors you an enderpearl, or you get hit out using knockback, etc. Grab any chests you see, but make sure no one else is near either the chest or you, because when you’re looking in your inventory, someone can run up to you very easily and get a head-start in any fight. Make sure to keep note of any good chests, and where they are - Tier twos especially. That way, you can return to them in future games for a slight head-start. At this stage in the game, taking risks by fighting is a bad idea. It’s recommended that you get at least 5 armor bars, and even then don’t take on a person with better gear than you, or a team (Unless the team has minimal equipment.) Target players with less armor, and do your best to avoid people with good armor, weapons, or a high amount of wins (If you know from previous knowledge.) If you do end up getting involved in a fight, then see what gear they have. You’ll either have to stand and fight, or run. Make good use of your various weapons, location, and anything else you might have.

Fourth Stage. The stage where you’re fighting, chasing people, and being chased. If you’re in this stage, it means that you either have an iron or diamond sword, or really good armor, like 7-7.5 armor bars, or both armor and weapons. Make sure you have enough food in your hotbar to last a dragged out chase, and arrows to snipe from afar. Never waste your arrows on someone extremely far away, unless you’re confident you can kill them. They’ll be able to regenerate their health by the time you get close to them, and you will have wasted or given them your arrows. If you’re fighting someone up close and melee, then use tactics. Make sure you see what kind of armor and weapon they have. Bows aren’t for melee, but some people like to bow-spam once they have a few blocks between you and themselves. It’s not recommended unless you have enough space and a lot of arrows to spare, because it’s not a very efficient way to deal damage, unless they’re next to a cliff, but then it’s always better to just run up and knock them off. Fishing rods can deal knockback better than bows, but bows also deal damage, so it’s up to you which to use. If you’re completely immersed in a swordfight, then make sure not to be drawn towards edges or obstacles, unless you’re the one drawing them there in order to use it to your own advantage, but make sure not to be caught in your own trap. Once you have a few blocks of space, if the person is still chasing after you, then try and light them on fire. Don’t blatantly hold out your flint and steel, but switch to it a split second before using it, then switch back to your sword immediately. This will catch them by surprise, and deal a goodly amount of damage, as well as stopping their sprint. If you yourself are caught on fire, from either the enemy or your own fire, then just fight. You won’t be able to run away, UNLESS the opponent is also on fire. If that is the case, then you can probably maintain your distance. Perhaps try and re-light them, taking care not to do yourself in, too. After a second fire, the main priority is to either fight or run, and flint and steel becomes less effective, since they will anticipate another fire. Fighting is pretty simple. Use tips that are written above, in the PvP section, to help you. If you’re in a chase, then try and anticipate where they will turn. Don’t anticipate too much, because they might see you and go the other way. If you can lead them into corners, traps, etc. then that’s great. Make sure you have enough food in your hotbar for a long haul, and think about saturation and how many food bars it replenishes. If you’re the one being chased, then take unexpected turns. If they’re right behind you, then you can stop, do a 180 turn, and go straight through them - Depending on how experienced they are, 9/10 people will miss you entirely if you execute it well. Make sure to avoid losing your sprint, and don’t turn around to set them on fire unless they’re much too close and you have a nearly guaranteed chance of actually catching them on fire.

Fifth Stage. This is near the end of the game, when there’s maybe 5 people left, and you have to hunt for a few minutes to find anyone. Make sure your inventory is clear, grab only what you need, and toss unnecessary food such as raw meat, watermelon slices, cookies, etc. Make sure you have enough Flint N’ Steels to last you in a 2v1, just in case, and arrange them in your hotbar. Keep ample food in your hotbar, as well, keeping in mind saturation for drawn-out chases. Watch your sides and back at all times, and spin around every once in a while and make sure no one’s chasing you. Always stay within a regenerating amount of food bars, in case someone suddenly drops down and surprise-attacks you. Just hunt down or be hunted by the other players, and if you play it safe and fight well, you should make it to Death Match. Refer to the PvP section for specific combat tips.

Sixth Stage. DeathMatch. The final countdown, and you’re released. Try and get a single arrow into an opponent. If they have full, or nearly full, iron armor, then don’t aim at them, but rather the weaker opponent, as the stronger one will take less damage and regenerate their missing hearts sooner. Don’t charge in recklessly. Whether you’re in the middle or on the side, try and run away. Play defense, and don’t sign your death-wish. Let the other two fight, and when one is dead, come in and cleanup the remaining player. If that’s not possible, then shoot the remaining player a few times before running in to ensure they have low HP. If you have really bad gear, then try and sneak up behind them, grab some items lying down from the kill, and run away. Equip it when you have some safe distance, and don’t fuss over organization. Time is running out. Shoot them if you need, and if they have decent gear then don’t bow-spam, as it won’t do much but slow them down. Fire is your friend, as long as you can avoid it. Lay traps and place it right next to where they’re headed, or under them if they’re not moving. Knocking them back into it more than once is great, as it’ll deal extra damage and prolong the flame damage. If, for some reason, the remaining two are a team or both chasing you, then use flint n’ steel as much as necessary. Don’t use it to the point of catching yourself on fire, but slowly draw down their HP. Dodge arrows and blows, and stay on the edge of their range, where you can hurt them but they are unable to affect you. Don’t get drawn into a corner, and maintain open space where you can run away. Just kill, kill, kill, and the clock will tick until you actually kill.

Seventh Stage. The fireworks! Dance, light yourself on fire, and if you’re extremely happy, say, “Good Game!” Go have a steak, a cake, or make a flake of, uh, I ran out of words. But congratulations, you won the Survival Games! Don’t forget to give Mr. Mooclan a hug for his super-duper long Guide that he wrote between the hours of 12 and 4 AM.





And moving on, to a story that I wrote for RC_4777 a little while ago!

Black suits, and black dresses filed down a line, in solemn observance of a funeral. Or, rather, bacc suits, as today, thousands of baccas mourned their leader, Benja. Outside the dome, even more players were in cheerful hysterics, held back only by a ring of stony-faced bacca-riot guards. As the procession reached its final destination, time seemed to stop. All was still for hundreds of blocks in each direction, and people waited in tense silence. A pair of baccas stepped forwards in unison, and lowered their leader to his earthen grave. Tossing flowers and other farewell-gifts, individuals stepped forwards and bid Benja farewell. As four blocks of dirt were respectfully lowered over the coffin, the riot outside grew to an unprecedented pitch, and a mass of people broke through the ring of guards.

Sprinting forwards, they advanced in a war-formation towards the graveyard. Three men stood in the front, and the one in the center shouted, “Good evening to you, men of the bacc. Greetings from JOEYGRACEFFA, our leader. We are here to claim this land for our mighty leader, and extinguish the bacca race.” At this, the men behind him spread out like a deck of cards, armed with heavy equipment. A small group of baccas, disorganized and clumsy, approached from behind. Without a signal or leader, they tried mustering the courage to repel the invaders, but lacked coordination.

With a single will, the men stomped once on the ground, and dared the baccas to approach. However, that single shaking of the ground caused a nearby building to shake, and a dark figure fell from the top floor. He stood up, and dusted himself off. Approaching the two parties, he coughed, and said, “Hello, my dear baccas. And your tidings are indeed good ones, men of JOEYGRACEFFA. For I am Benja, the real one. And I am glad to have this chance to extinguish you, pitiful beings.”

“Hah, nonsense. You’re probably only at 1 heart from that huge fall. You should have known better than to sit in so perilous a perch. Fool, prepare yourself. You bear no arms, nor do you bring with you a set of armor. And you were just buried, if I’m not mistaken. This world has no ghosts.” The JOEYGRACEFFA spokesman chuckled. Two warriors turned towards Benja, and casually walked over, weapons in hand.

“Ah, but you see, that is where you are incorrect. That fall? Yes, you saw it. From that building behind me. You are wrong. It did not deal me 9 hearts of damage, for it did 27. But that was a mere scratch to my total health. You are the fool, and the one who just died, in my eyes at least, for you have just signed a death-warrant. Behold! The power of the real Benja, RC the Fabulous!” And with that, he dashed forwards, crossing dozens of blocks in a mere split-second.

Lunging to the right, he yanked a soldier to the ground. Taking the iron axe, he slid it across the back of the fallen man, who disintegrated into tiny particles a moment later. Continuing on to the second knight, he feinted to the left, only to dash around from the right and behead him, with apparent ease. Slowly straightening up, he had a deadly grin on his face. Dramatically walking to the army, he stretched the arm that bore the murder weapon. Steadily gaining speed with what appeared to only be a walking stride, he rapidly closed the remaining distance. In the blink of an eye, he was above everyone, and fell upon his prey with the ferocity of a lion. Whipping the gleaming weapon back and forth between newly-bloodied bodies, he cut through iron armor like it was budder. His body a blur, weapons simply couldn’t touch him. In mere seconds, he had a brand-new diamond axe pressed against the neck of the spokesman, who now laid on the ground in shock.

“W-what? H-h-how is this even possible? We.. we were so… Joey said we wouldn’t fail! He said he had confidence in us.. no! We’ve failed Joey!” He choked, unable to continue.

“Simple. You dared challenge my loyal subjects. You dared to challenge me. For that, the punishment is death.” Benja, now known as RC the Fabulous, slowly let his new weapon taste flesh. Once the foul deed was done, RC stood up, and addressed all the stunned baccas. “Hello, baccas. I am your true Benja. I have awaited the day that you would bury the impostor, Mitch. He has done a horrible thing, turning my beloved baccas into his personal army. No, he is not Benja. Long ago, he stole the title from me through treachery. I would have claimed it long ago, but you, my dear baccas, would have been hurt in the process, for he was guarded by your kind. But alas, I have returned!”



A single voice resounded through the silent graveyard, and a single bacca walked forwards to stand in front of RC. The original bacca, Jerome. “Well, well, well. What do we have here? Or rather, who? Why, I believe it’s the mighty king, Benja! Welcome back, m’lord. Three cheers for Benja!”

As one, the baccas roared their approval. Bowing, RC whispered to Jerome, “Quick, I need to know what I’ve missed. I haven’t spoken to you in too long, my good man, too long.”

Jerome responded in an equally low tone, “We may not have much time, m’lord. There’s still a giant mob outside the dome, and all they could see from there is that Joey’s men fell, while we’re still standing. Mitch ruined the baccas, he did. Turned them into a horror-story in themselves. Are you sure you’re up to the task of righting their wrongs?”

Standing, RC walked closer to the baccas, and announced, “People of the bacc! I come to you today as your new Benja! But before we can celebrate and fix whatever has gone wrong, we must first escape. I ask that you take a weapon and suit of armor from one of the people that I have slain here before you, and help get everyone suited up. You shall need all the firepower and protection that you can get. Please give elders and children the Protection IV armor, and take for yourself according to your needs. We will have to move swiftly and effectively in order to escape this confinement, and for that we need potions. I have with me a set of Swiftness potions, which I will distribute. Once we are all suited up, please approach a bacca with a potion, and right before we all move out, we’ll have the potions splashed onto ourselves. Does everyone understand?”

After hearing their confirmation, he approached Jerome again, who had just finished showing a baby-bacc how to swing an axe like a true man of the bacc. “Ho, there, Jerome. Good to see that baccas still hold axes as a sacred instrument of true power. Before we set out, I need to make sure that you know where I’ll be taking everyone.”

Jerome looked up, and slowly replied, “Wait, no. Surely, you can’t be serious.”

“I am. Very much so, in fact. I intend to take it as our own before the night is up. But I need to make sure that you know what to do while I’m gone.” RC gravely confirmed. “You know I’ve done little but wait for a good opportunity to take back the throne. This is part of it, for what is a king without a kingdom? I have two agents working an inside job. They’re loyal, but they’re not baccas. I have promised them both a life on the outskirts of the kingdom, hidden from the view of baccas. Once this is all over… but that is still a long way to go, so for now we must deal with the issues of the present. I need you to take our people, and bring them back to the farmhouse until later tonight. Once I’ve emptied the new place, I’ll send a message-pig. You can handle it - have faith in yourself, if only because I have faith in you.”

“This would be a suicide mission from anyone aside from you… Out of curiosity and concern for your safety, will you answer one thing? How did you defeat those bastards? Twenty-seven hearts? That’d kill me nearly three times over! And your speed!? I’ve never even seen Mitch stand up that fast when someone told him they had a beer for him. What in the blazes was that?”

“Oh, that? I have custom feather-falling boots, sold to me by an Administrator, altered to look like my feet. I used a diluted invisibility potion to make the blurred-appearance. No one, to my knowledge, can actually move that fast. However, I still have increased my speed insanely. I still doubt Mitch would be able to keep up with me, even in the prime of his life.” Unbeknownst to Jerome, those were sugarcoated lies. RC had, in actuality, worked tirelessly for years to hone his resistance and other skills, to a point where he took absolutely no damage from a diamond sword.

Walking away, he looked over his new comrades with a sense of pride, knowing that they would soon know the monstrosities and lies that the fake Benja had hidden behind, and that he had been able to help his beloved baccas.

He reached the stairs of the graveyard officer, and addressed the congregation. “Can I have your attention, please! I’m seeing that you all are ready, and so we will begin to distribute the splash potions. Every splash potion must be used on at least 10 baccas, as we do not have unlimited resources. As soon as you are splashed, please face the north. I will be at the front, and try to clear a path. Our dutiful bacca guards have been instructed to aid in our assistance, and will protect from the sides and rear, while I myself will defend the front. If at any time you fall behind, do not hesitate to let us know. No bacca left behind!” As the crowd separated into smaller groups, he handed out the potions, and headed north, where he found an old comrade, xTopBacca.

Surprised to see him, he called out, “Hullo, xTopBacca! What have we here? A real, live member of the original baccas? Wow, this is indeed news. I could only ask so many questions of dear Jerome, so I’m afraid I must ask you some things.”

“Why, Benja! It is so good to see you again. You’ve no idea how thoroughly Mitch trashed our kind. We’re disrespected by nearly all! You must save us, as you’re the only one who can. I trust you have taken the appropriate steps, eh?” xTopBacca smiled, and rubbed his paws together. He quickly splashed his potion on a few children, and hurried over to the front lines, where he could talk to Benja easier.

They chatted for a few brief seconds, and then RC had to shout “Advance, my baccas! To freedom, to safety, and to redemption!”

Charging forwards, RC swung his axe overhead. As they reached the line of riot guards, the guards converged on them, forming a tighter defense. Confident in his comrades, the fighter quietly disappeared. Slipping through the gaps in bodies, he twisted and turned, and soon emerged, disguised as just another player who had gotten low on hunger, and needed to return to their home for the day.

Traveling by minecart was efficient, but only if you’d already had tracks lain. His lonely journey was over rough lands and through vast mountain ranges, so he preferred his steed, Wert the Pig. Straddling the mighty beast, he soon arrived in front of a massive wooden fortress.

Protected against griefing by cleverly exploited server features, the building had done nothing but grow in the time he’d been absent. Walking in casually, he was greeted at the door by an armed, but slacking, guard. RC took careful note of the strengths and weaknesses, and who roamed where. Clearly, politics had changed, as there were many new people in the most sought-after rooms and lounges. Due to Mitch, the impostor Benja, dying, people had been drinking extra nausea potions, unaware of the Benja that was walking through their midst. He walked over to the main hall, where his soon-to-be throne would rest.

Moving over to a gloomy hallway, he pulled aside a random passerby, covering their mouth with a handkerchief that he’d lifted from an inebriated woman. Pulling out his axe, he muttered to them, “Listen here, mister. I need you to do me a favor. Do it, and you’ll be paid well. Fail, and you die within the hour. It’s very easy. Walk to the main hall, and shout ‘Benja has returned,’ and nothing else. Got it? Now go.”

The intimidated stranger, knowing very well that baccas loved axes, did as he was told, and soon a throng had gathered around him, threatening him with various punishments if he didn’t say that Benja had died. With the people distracted, RC stalked over to the hidden armory, and donned the best suit of armor they had. Preparing his axe and health potions, he walked over to the main hall, and yet remained unnoticed.

Standing on the stage, he muttered, “System announcement! ‘The True Benja has returned!’” and waited as the server followed his command. A small group of drunkards, noticing it was him who said it, walked up and uttered slurred foul oaths at him, but were too stoned to realize what was happening. A guard, noticing the commotion, walked over, and realized only too late what had taken place. RC leaped forwards, axe drawn, and let it do its work.

Finishing up in a matter of seconds, he walked out of the room, blood dripping from the blade. He made another system command, this time to teleport everyone within the building in front of him, guard and civilian alike. When people realized he’d done it, they ran towards him, fists flying and weapons flashing. But just as before, the one true Benja dashed around, hewing necks with the grace of a dancer. Glancing around, he estimated there to be something near to 46 people in the room aside from himself. He activated a custom skill, known only to himself, which he dubbed ‘The RC_4777’, which allowed him to flow from slice to slash with minimal effort, as a single movement, rather than making each blow an individual slash. Ducking, he knocked the legs of a pair of people together, causing them to fall into three others. His mind went on auto-pilot, sliding his blade along from one stance to another, as an extension of his soul. Damage potions served where sheer numbers were troublesome, and he gradually decimated the opposing force to less than ten. Looking for his two agents, he located them at the back of the room, standing in awed silence. Walking over to the last remaining foes, he quietly beheaded their stunned bodies.

Picking up items as he walked towards his agents, he said, “Hello, HalfSquirrel and Arena Master. I see you’re still in good health. You may take your leave now. You’ll find the houses prepared as we agreed, fully stocked. If you do so desire, feel free to take any items from the slain. You’ve earned all we agreed on, and more. Consider it my apology for exposing you to such a slaughter.”

After cleaning up and locking the gate, RC retired to his old chambers, untouched and unseen since his exile.

First, there's Demacia. (Zaex) Led by the line of Jarvan's and currently Jarvan IV, if I recall correctly, it stands for justice, might, and all noble virtues. It lies along the west coast of Valoran, where its people all aim to disseminate benevolence and create a better environment for everyone.
One of their most famous soldiers is Garen, the Might of Demacia, along with others such as Fiora, the Grand Duelist, Galio, the Sentinel's Sorrow, Lucian, the Purifier, Lux, the Lady of Luminosity, Poppy, the Iron Ambassador, Quinn and Valor, Demacia's Wings, Shyvana, the Half-Dragon, Sona, the Maven of Strings, Vayne, the Night Hunter, and Xin Zhao, the Seneschal of Demacia.

I approve of this. Good job, Moo.



Oh, as well as the rest of the essay. That's all good and stuff too.

Alright, I was going to go play a game of League of Legends, but since I was tagged here I'll make a long post. cadbane4321, prepare to have your rear end handed to you.


(I'm just making this sound really mad, I'm not actually mad)
First of all, Cadbane, that was a cheap, pointless way to get in the lead.

Now I'm going to rant >:3
League of Legends - First, I'll start with my favorite Champion, Heimerdinger.
Heimerdinger is known as "The Revered Inventor" because he, often by himself, has invented and created many machines and "Techmaturgical" devices, and overall enhanced technology in the League of Legends world, known as Runeterra.

Oh, wait! I haven't gone into Runeterra's lore! Yes, lore. It is a very important thing in League of Legends, as it explains where characters come from, what they do, why they have certain skills, and many other things.

Runeterra is a continent with a few different countries/tribes.
First, there's Demacia. (Zaex) Led by the line of Jarvan's and currently Jarvan IV, if I recall correctly, it stands for justice, might, and all noble virtues. It lies along the west coast of Valoran, where its people all aim to disseminate benevolence and create a better environment for everyone.
One of their most famous soldiers is Garen, the Might of Demacia, along with others such as Fiora, the Grand Duelist, Galio, the Sentinel's Sorrow, Lucian, the Purifier, Lux, the Lady of Luminosity, Poppy, the Iron Ambassador, Quinn and Valor, Demacia's Wings, Shyvana, the Half-Dragon, Sona, the Maven of Strings, Vayne, the Night Hunter, and Xin Zhao, the Seneschal of Demacia.

I currently have been playing a lot of Lucian, who happens to originate from Demacia. He is a ranged marksman, also known as an Attack Damage Carry, or ADC for short. When playing Lucian, usually you want to focus on purchasing attack damage items, such as a Bloodthirster, Black Cleaver, and Last Whisper. Trinity force is also an excellent item on him, and Blade of the Ruined King is also somewhat popular. A Guardian Angel with help him survive a lot more, but if you need to you can purchase separate Magic Resist and Armor items, such as a Frozen Heart/Randuin's Omen and Maw of Malmortius, as they also have other helpful statistics.

Lucian's Lore: (Mooclan Summary ;3)

He originates from Demacia, according to Demacia's page. He and his wife, Senna, worked together using matching guns to "purify" dark places. Lucian's kindness touched the hearts of those they saved, while Senna's dedication never faltered.
Together they saw horrors that would tear the souls of hardened warriors, but they stood firm through it all. Eventually, their adventures led them to the Shadow Isles, as souls had been manifesting across Runeterra. That was where they met the soul-collecter, Thresh. They had faced scarier, but no one as clever, or as devious and cruel. Some time during their encounter, Thresh managed to trick and trap Senna, Lucian's partner, in a spectral prison. Lucian knew that she was lost, and could not be saved. For the first time ever, Lucian was alone.

What Thresh did was take one of two of the Shadow Isles' most dangerous enemies, and create the most dangerous single person they had ever faced. Thresh had stripped Lucian of his kindness, and turned him into a cold, hard, killing machine. In honor of his fallen comrade, he took up her weapon, and served to purge the Shadow Isles of all that is dark and dangerous. He knows Senna is lost, but one day he hopes to be able to put her at peace.

And now that my story concludes (Yes, I did look at the Background page for Lucian while writing it) I'll move onto my PvP Guide!

Mooclan’s MCSG and PvP Guide

Please note, this Guide is designed with legitimate fights in mind. Fighting a hacker is much tougher, and this Guide is not intended to cover such fights.
~PvP~

PvP in general, regardless of server.
1. Do not use any performance-improving mods or hacks! Learn to play legitimately, and you’ll do well on any computer, assuming you have a standard keyboard/mouse or trackpad, whichever you’re used to. Computer-improving mods, such as Optifine, are good. When I say “Performance-improving”, I mean things that would give you an advantage over the other players, such as Better Sprint Mod, Aimbot, ForceField, Etc. You will be looked down upon by players that play legitimately and are still good. If you can learn to fight well without any of these, that’s great!

2. Strafe! No matter what people say, strafing is an excellent technique, assuming you can do it correctly and efficiently. One way to strafe is by moving left and right. Circle the opponent, get behind them. Doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as you can avoid the opponents’ hits. Sometimes you can just walk right through them, turn around, and knock them around. An effective tip for strafing is to stick close to the opponent. Don’t make large loops around them, because it will give them more time to aim at you (And hit you). Circle them in small, tight loops, so that you can easily confuse and get behind them.

3. Stun them! There’s rumors that if you can hit the opponent in a certain way, then they will be stunned, and unable to retaliate. This is partially true. If you are able to move fast enough and efficiently, you can accumulate massive amounts of knockback, and they won’t be able to hit you. This can often be confused for Aimbot, however, so beware of that.

4. Block-Hitting. Yeah, yeah. We’ve all heard those people saying “Oh, block-hitting is for noobs.” But it’s really not! It is a tried and tested strategy, and really does help. It lowers the damage you take, if I’m not mistaken. If you hit both the attack and block buttons in quick succession, it deals damage, while minimizing the damage that you take, and is called “Block-hitting”. It will make you move much slower, as blocking makes you move slower than sneaking will. Click the left mouse button, then the right one right after. Make the gap between left and right clicks as small as possible. Some people say to click both buttons at the same time - It doesn’t work that way for me, but feel free to try it.

5. Fishing Rods. (Rumors about Fishing Rods being unusable in 1.7) If you hit a person with a fishing rod, it deals some slight knockback. Enough to stop them from sprinting. If they are good at sprinting, as some players are, it won’t do much, but will still disorient them slightly. One way to use fishing rods is by having the person charge at you, hitting them with the fishing rod, switching to your sword, then just continuing the battle. This will stop them from sprinting, and can effectively stop them from strafing around you. It’s helpful if your mouse is slow and/or you are using a low sensitivity, or are just bad at turning in circles accurately. This also is a form of stunning, and can give you the upper hand. Knocking people into water, towards walls, obstacles, etc. can help, as players will have their movement obstructed. It’s helpful for ending chases.

6. Flint and Steel. Ah, the good old FNS. Flint and Steel, often called FNS or Flint N’ Steel, deals damage. It deals several hearts of damage over a few seconds, assuming they don’t jump into water. It will stop them from sprinting every time they take damage, so it’s a great technique for running away unless the opponent has some sort of sprint hacks. If you’re at a disadvantage, either in armor or weapons, just light ‘em up! It has many great aspects to it, so if you can learn to use it right then you’re just one step closer to getting better at PvP!

7. Altitude Differences. If you are able to get below the opponent, you can navigate into an area that you can reach the opponent, but they cannot reach you. This is caused by how Minecraft works, as "you" hit from your character's chest area. Thus, you can reach only a certain distance below you, and an entire block farther upwards. So if you're underneath, you can sometimes get several hits on the other person before you come into their range. However, it is possible to escape this, if you're the person above. Either by running away or by strafing to the sides, it's possible to reverse the flow of the battle even when above. Also, if you're on a mountain or near a cliff, it's often a good idea to try and knock your opponent off the cliff. It's particularly easy if you're above them, and they're below, if they're the one near the cliff, as you'll be able to hold your ground while they can get pushed off. However, if the roles are switched, either push straight towards them, and try to kill them before you get pushed off, or run away. Depending on the situation, running away can be difficult, and killing them first is unlikely.

8. Water PvP. Are you being chased, or chasing someone else? Unless they are absolutely terrible, having worse gear is usually fatal. Weapons are the #1 advantage you can possible have. Block-Hitting is really effective if you are being chased, but if you are the pursuer, then it will only slow you down. According to Minecraft Reach Theory, if you are below someone, then you will be able to hit them more. This is because when you are at the same level of someone, you can both hit each other at the same range. If you are above them, then your reach will be shorter, because you are two blocks tall, but don’t hit from the center of your body. You hit from somewhere around your shoulders or head, not the waist or stomach. With that in mind, you have a shorter reach downwards than you do upwards. It’s similar in real life. That way, if you get below someone then you’ll be able to hit them from further away. This is rather useful in maps with deeper water. If you’re chasing someone, don’t hit them with a fishing rod. Go into the water, sprint on the ground, then come back up. That way, you’ll be sprinting, and thus catch up to them gradually. Works best for long distances. If you’re being chased by someone, push them away with your fishing rod. Once you have enough space, then go do the sprint trick. If you have a teammate, you can push each other with fishing rods.

9. Sprinting. This is one of the mechanisms in Minecraft that makes PvP even remotely challenging. When you are hit or hit someone else, you stop sprinting. That’s why you should learn to time your sprinting perfectly and learn to double-tap the “W” key ultra-fast. While this will take several hours of practice (Took me 21 hours, if I recall correctly, to get to my current proficiency) if you can learn it properly, and learn to apply it without thinking, you’ll have a big advantage while fighting. Also, there will be maps with mountains where sprinting is a huge advantage. Getting knockback on your opponent is very valuable, especially if you are above them, hitting them downwards. They’ll be hit off the side of the mountain, and if you’re lucky they will sustain large amounts of damage, from both your hits and the fall damage. If you’re running either up or down a mountain, sprinting is again valuable. If you can sprint in the small gaps of space that it is technically possible, you can slowly inch ahead of your pursuer, or gain on the person you’re chasing. When it comes to small hills or bumps in a road, sprinting can easily be disabled just by hitting a block because you mis-timed your jump. If that happens, an opponent can cross a surprising amount of land between you and them in the time it takes the average player to re-sprint. If you learn to time your jumps and sprint faster, this will be less of an issue. Again, if you’re the one chasing them, then the opponent can escape further away. Using a sprint-training map can be especially helpful, like a timed parkour map or something similar.

10. Knockback. When you’re sprinting and hit an opponent, you’ll “Knock” them back. This can be used to stun opponents, and give them a delay. If done 100% correctly and perfectly executed, which is rare, then you can in fact escape a fight completely unharmed. Learning to combine sprinting with fishing rods and whatnot can be extremely valuable, as it can stun opponents very, very effectively. If YOU yourself are stunned, then your best bet is to retreat and try and charge again without getting stunned, unless you know how to recover from a stun quickly. Knockback can also be used to hit people into traps, off edges, and into walls. If you hit them into a wall, they will lose their sprint and will go slower.
~MCSG~
Survival Games is a much broader topic than PvP in general. As such, first I’ll split it into three groups: Regular hunger/survival games, The Hive, and the Minecraft Survival Games.

The first group is on most servers, but “MCSG” and “The Hive” are more official, custom-coded, and professionally-run. For the first type, tiers are randomized. All I can really say is to get as many chests as you can. Perhaps study the map a little bit, and find a good route.

The Hive has chests that are sometimes not there, and thus you need a longer route for. I personally don’t play it often, so I can’t give many tips aside from what I can say from my experiences in MCSG. Learn what items you can and cannot find, and how often. Try to develop methods, even if it means copying YouTubers.

Onto the Minecraft Survival Games:

This can also partially be applied to the Hive and just about any other Survival Games server.

First Stage. in the Survival Games is the Lobby. You might think it’s unimportant, but it actually can make a difference. How? That’s where you make allies and foes, of course! Avoid angering people who might target you (Who knows? They might get a stone sword off of the Cornucopia.) Make allies, if you want. If you’re confident in your solo abilities, then that’s fine. But some people prefer to play in a team. Either call over some friends from Skype/Clans, etc. or team with someone who’s in the Lobby already.

Second Stage. Pregame and the first few seconds. Don’t start sprinting with several seconds left, but rather, start sprinting just before the timer runs out. The system won’t have enough time to teleport you back, and you’ll get a little bit of a head-start. Small, yes, but everything counts. If there’s only a few chests on that map in Cornucopia, then go straight for the one in front of you. If there’s a large number of chests, then you can try heading for a chest slightly to the side. You’ll grab some loot from that chest, and there’s a larger chance that the chest in front of you is still untouched - It works for me sometimes, and I’ve gotten gear like full-iron armor and a diamond sword in the first two minutes that way. However, if there’s multiple chests, then some of them might be tier ones.

Third stage. Assuming you live this long, then try running towards your chest route. If you don’t have a chest route, then pick a cardinal direction, such as North, South, East, and West. You can find them using F3, a compass, or you can just go straight ahead in one of the directions (It’s pretty obvious how to go straight.) Keep your eyes open for both enemies, traps, and chests. Traps are rare, but if you get caught in one then you will probably die or be stuck for the rest of the game unless someone sponsors you an enderpearl, or you get hit out using knockback, etc. Grab any chests you see, but make sure no one else is near either the chest or you, because when you’re looking in your inventory, someone can run up to you very easily and get a head-start in any fight. Make sure to keep note of any good chests, and where they are - Tier twos especially. That way, you can return to them in future games for a slight head-start. At this stage in the game, taking risks by fighting is a bad idea. It’s recommended that you get at least 5 armor bars, and even then don’t take on a person with better gear than you, or a team (Unless the team has minimal equipment.) Target players with less armor, and do your best to avoid people with good armor, weapons, or a high amount of wins (If you know from previous knowledge.) If you do end up getting involved in a fight, then see what gear they have. You’ll either have to stand and fight, or run. Make good use of your various weapons, location, and anything else you might have.

Fourth Stage. The stage where you’re fighting, chasing people, and being chased. If you’re in this stage, it means that you either have an iron or diamond sword, or really good armor, like 7-7.5 armor bars, or both armor and weapons. Make sure you have enough food in your hotbar to last a dragged out chase, and arrows to snipe from afar. Never waste your arrows on someone extremely far away, unless you’re confident you can kill them. They’ll be able to regenerate their health by the time you get close to them, and you will have wasted or given them your arrows. If you’re fighting someone up close and melee, then use tactics. Make sure you see what kind of armor and weapon they have. Bows aren’t for melee, but some people like to bow-spam once they have a few blocks between you and themselves. It’s not recommended unless you have enough space and a lot of arrows to spare, because it’s not a very efficient way to deal damage, unless they’re next to a cliff, but then it’s always better to just run up and knock them off. Fishing rods can deal knockback better than bows, but bows also deal damage, so it’s up to you which to use. If you’re completely immersed in a swordfight, then make sure not to be drawn towards edges or obstacles, unless you’re the one drawing them there in order to use it to your own advantage, but make sure not to be caught in your own trap. Once you have a few blocks of space, if the person is still chasing after you, then try and light them on fire. Don’t blatantly hold out your flint and steel, but switch to it a split second before using it, then switch back to your sword immediately. This will catch them by surprise, and deal a goodly amount of damage, as well as stopping their sprint. If you yourself are caught on fire, from either the enemy or your own fire, then just fight. You won’t be able to run away, UNLESS the opponent is also on fire. If that is the case, then you can probably maintain your distance. Perhaps try and re-light them, taking care not to do yourself in, too. After a second fire, the main priority is to either fight or run, and flint and steel becomes less effective, since they will anticipate another fire. Fighting is pretty simple. Use tips that are written above, in the PvP section, to help you. If you’re in a chase, then try and anticipate where they will turn. Don’t anticipate too much, because they might see you and go the other way. If you can lead them into corners, traps, etc. then that’s great. Make sure you have enough food in your hotbar for a long haul, and think about saturation and how many food bars it replenishes. If you’re the one being chased, then take unexpected turns. If they’re right behind you, then you can stop, do a 180 turn, and go straight through them - Depending on how experienced they are, 9/10 people will miss you entirely if you execute it well. Make sure to avoid losing your sprint, and don’t turn around to set them on fire unless they’re much too close and you have a nearly guaranteed chance of actually catching them on fire.

Fifth Stage. This is near the end of the game, when there’s maybe 5 people left, and you have to hunt for a few minutes to find anyone. Make sure your inventory is clear, grab only what you need, and toss unnecessary food such as raw meat, watermelon slices, cookies, etc. Make sure you have enough Flint N’ Steels to last you in a 2v1, just in case, and arrange them in your hotbar. Keep ample food in your hotbar, as well, keeping in mind saturation for drawn-out chases. Watch your sides and back at all times, and spin around every once in a while and make sure no one’s chasing you. Always stay within a regenerating amount of food bars, in case someone suddenly drops down and surprise-attacks you. Just hunt down or be hunted by the other players, and if you play it safe and fight well, you should make it to Death Match. Refer to the PvP section for specific combat tips.

Sixth Stage. DeathMatch. The final countdown, and you’re released. Try and get a single arrow into an opponent. If they have full, or nearly full, iron armor, then don’t aim at them, but rather the weaker opponent, as the stronger one will take less damage and regenerate their missing hearts sooner. Don’t charge in recklessly. Whether you’re in the middle or on the side, try and run away. Play defense, and don’t sign your death-wish. Let the other two fight, and when one is dead, come in and cleanup the remaining player. If that’s not possible, then shoot the remaining player a few times before running in to ensure they have low HP. If you have really bad gear, then try and sneak up behind them, grab some items lying down from the kill, and run away. Equip it when you have some safe distance, and don’t fuss over organization. Time is running out. Shoot them if you need, and if they have decent gear then don’t bow-spam, as it won’t do much but slow them down. Fire is your friend, as long as you can avoid it. Lay traps and place it right next to where they’re headed, or under them if they’re not moving. Knocking them back into it more than once is great, as it’ll deal extra damage and prolong the flame damage. If, for some reason, the remaining two are a team or both chasing you, then use flint n’ steel as much as necessary. Don’t use it to the point of catching yourself on fire, but slowly draw down their HP. Dodge arrows and blows, and stay on the edge of their range, where you can hurt them but they are unable to affect you. Don’t get drawn into a corner, and maintain open space where you can run away. Just kill, kill, kill, and the clock will tick until you actually kill.

Seventh Stage. The fireworks! Dance, light yourself on fire, and if you’re extremely happy, say, “Good Game!” Go have a steak, a cake, or make a flake of, uh, I ran out of words. But congratulations, you won the Survival Games! Don’t forget to give Mr. Mooclan a hug for his super-duper long Guide that he wrote between the hours of 12 and 4 AM.





And moving on, to a story that I wrote for RC_4777 a little while ago!

Black suits, and black dresses filed down a line, in solemn observance of a funeral. Or, rather, bacc suits, as today, thousands of baccas mourned their leader, Benja. Outside the dome, even more players were in cheerful hysterics, held back only by a ring of stony-faced bacca-riot guards. As the procession reached its final destination, time seemed to stop. All was still for hundreds of blocks in each direction, and people waited in tense silence. A pair of baccas stepped forwards in unison, and lowered their leader to his earthen grave. Tossing flowers and other farewell-gifts, individuals stepped forwards and bid Benja farewell. As four blocks of dirt were respectfully lowered over the coffin, the riot outside grew to an unprecedented pitch, and a mass of people broke through the ring of guards.

Sprinting forwards, they advanced in a war-formation towards the graveyard. Three men stood in the front, and the one in the center shouted, “Good evening to you, men of the bacc. Greetings from JOEYGRACEFFA, our leader. We are here to claim this land for our mighty leader, and extinguish the bacca race.” At this, the men behind him spread out like a deck of cards, armed with heavy equipment. A small group of baccas, disorganized and clumsy, approached from behind. Without a signal or leader, they tried mustering the courage to repel the invaders, but lacked coordination.

With a single will, the men stomped once on the ground, and dared the baccas to approach. However, that single shaking of the ground caused a nearby building to shake, and a dark figure fell from the top floor. He stood up, and dusted himself off. Approaching the two parties, he coughed, and said, “Hello, my dear baccas. And your tidings are indeed good ones, men of JOEYGRACEFFA. For I am Benja, the real one. And I am glad to have this chance to extinguish you, pitiful beings.”

“Hah, nonsense. You’re probably only at 1 heart from that huge fall. You should have known better than to sit in so perilous a perch. Fool, prepare yourself. You bear no arms, nor do you bring with you a set of armor. And you were just buried, if I’m not mistaken. This world has no ghosts.” The JOEYGRACEFFA spokesman chuckled. Two warriors turned towards Benja, and casually walked over, weapons in hand.

“Ah, but you see, that is where you are incorrect. That fall? Yes, you saw it. From that building behind me. You are wrong. It did not deal me 9 hearts of damage, for it did 27. But that was a mere scratch to my total health. You are the fool, and the one who just died, in my eyes at least, for you have just signed a death-warrant. Behold! The power of the real Benja, RC the Fabulous!” And with that, he dashed forwards, crossing dozens of blocks in a mere split-second.

Lunging to the right, he yanked a soldier to the ground. Taking the iron axe, he slid it across the back of the fallen man, who disintegrated into tiny particles a moment later. Continuing on to the second knight, he feinted to the left, only to dash around from the right and behead him, with apparent ease. Slowly straightening up, he had a deadly grin on his face. Dramatically walking to the army, he stretched the arm that bore the murder weapon. Steadily gaining speed with what appeared to only be a walking stride, he rapidly closed the remaining distance. In the blink of an eye, he was above everyone, and fell upon his prey with the ferocity of a lion. Whipping the gleaming weapon back and forth between newly-bloodied bodies, he cut through iron armor like it was budder. His body a blur, weapons simply couldn’t touch him. In mere seconds, he had a brand-new diamond axe pressed against the neck of the spokesman, who now laid on the ground in shock.

“W-what? H-h-how is this even possible? We.. we were so… Joey said we wouldn’t fail! He said he had confidence in us.. no! We’ve failed Joey!” He choked, unable to continue.

“Simple. You dared challenge my loyal subjects. You dared to challenge me. For that, the punishment is death.” Benja, now known as RC the Fabulous, slowly let his new weapon taste flesh. Once the foul deed was done, RC stood up, and addressed all the stunned baccas. “Hello, baccas. I am your true Benja. I have awaited the day that you would bury the impostor, Mitch. He has done a horrible thing, turning my beloved baccas into his personal army. No, he is not Benja. Long ago, he stole the title from me through treachery. I would have claimed it long ago, but you, my dear baccas, would have been hurt in the process, for he was guarded by your kind. But alas, I have returned!”



A single voice resounded through the silent graveyard, and a single bacca walked forwards to stand in front of RC. The original bacca, Jerome. “Well, well, well. What do we have here? Or rather, who? Why, I believe it’s the mighty king, Benja! Welcome back, m’lord. Three cheers for Benja!”

As one, the baccas roared their approval. Bowing, RC whispered to Jerome, “Quick, I need to know what I’ve missed. I haven’t spoken to you in too long, my good man, too long.”

Jerome responded in an equally low tone, “We may not have much time, m’lord. There’s still a giant mob outside the dome, and all they could see from there is that Joey’s men fell, while we’re still standing. Mitch ruined the baccas, he did. Turned them into a horror-story in themselves. Are you sure you’re up to the task of righting their wrongs?”

Standing, RC walked closer to the baccas, and announced, “People of the bacc! I come to you today as your new Benja! But before we can celebrate and fix whatever has gone wrong, we must first escape. I ask that you take a weapon and suit of armor from one of the people that I have slain here before you, and help get everyone suited up. You shall need all the firepower and protection that you can get. Please give elders and children the Protection IV armor, and take for yourself according to your needs. We will have to move swiftly and effectively in order to escape this confinement, and for that we need potions. I have with me a set of Swiftness potions, which I will distribute. Once we are all suited up, please approach a bacca with a potion, and right before we all move out, we’ll have the potions splashed onto ourselves. Does everyone understand?”

After hearing their confirmation, he approached Jerome again, who had just finished showing a baby-bacc how to swing an axe like a true man of the bacc. “Ho, there, Jerome. Good to see that baccas still hold axes as a sacred instrument of true power. Before we set out, I need to make sure that you know where I’ll be taking everyone.”

Jerome looked up, and slowly replied, “Wait, no. Surely, you can’t be serious.”

“I am. Very much so, in fact. I intend to take it as our own before the night is up. But I need to make sure that you know what to do while I’m gone.” RC gravely confirmed. “You know I’ve done little but wait for a good opportunity to take back the throne. This is part of it, for what is a king without a kingdom? I have two agents working an inside job. They’re loyal, but they’re not baccas. I have promised them both a life on the outskirts of the kingdom, hidden from the view of baccas. Once this is all over… but that is still a long way to go, so for now we must deal with the issues of the present. I need you to take our people, and bring them back to the farmhouse until later tonight. Once I’ve emptied the new place, I’ll send a message-pig. You can handle it - have faith in yourself, if only because I have faith in you.”

“This would be a suicide mission from anyone aside from you… Out of curiosity and concern for your safety, will you answer one thing? How did you defeat those bastards? Twenty-seven hearts? That’d kill me nearly three times over! And your speed!? I’ve never even seen Mitch stand up that fast when someone told him they had a beer for him. What in the blazes was that?”

“Oh, that? I have custom feather-falling boots, sold to me by an Administrator, altered to look like my feet. I used a diluted invisibility potion to make the blurred-appearance. No one, to my knowledge, can actually move that fast. However, I still have increased my speed insanely. I still doubt Mitch would be able to keep up with me, even in the prime of his life.” Unbeknownst to Jerome, those were sugarcoated lies. RC had, in actuality, worked tirelessly for years to hone his resistance and other skills, to a point where he took absolutely no damage from a diamond sword.

Walking away, he looked over his new comrades with a sense of pride, knowing that they would soon know the monstrosities and lies that the fake Benja had hidden behind, and that he had been able to help his beloved baccas.

He reached the stairs of the graveyard officer, and addressed the congregation. “Can I have your attention, please! I’m seeing that you all are ready, and so we will begin to distribute the splash potions. Every splash potion must be used on at least 10 baccas, as we do not have unlimited resources. As soon as you are splashed, please face the north. I will be at the front, and try to clear a path. Our dutiful bacca guards have been instructed to aid in our assistance, and will protect from the sides and rear, while I myself will defend the front. If at any time you fall behind, do not hesitate to let us know. No bacca left behind!” As the crowd separated into smaller groups, he handed out the potions, and headed north, where he found an old comrade, xTopBacca.

Surprised to see him, he called out, “Hullo, xTopBacca! What have we here? A real, live member of the original baccas? Wow, this is indeed news. I could only ask so many questions of dear Jerome, so I’m afraid I must ask you some things.”

“Why, Benja! It is so good to see you again. You’ve no idea how thoroughly Mitch trashed our kind. We’re disrespected by nearly all! You must save us, as you’re the only one who can. I trust you have taken the appropriate steps, eh?” xTopBacca smiled, and rubbed his paws together. He quickly splashed his potion on a few children, and hurried over to the front lines, where he could talk to Benja easier.

They chatted for a few brief seconds, and then RC had to shout “Advance, my baccas! To freedom, to safety, and to redemption!”

Charging forwards, RC swung his axe overhead. As they reached the line of riot guards, the guards converged on them, forming a tighter defense. Confident in his comrades, the fighter quietly disappeared. Slipping through the gaps in bodies, he twisted and turned, and soon emerged, disguised as just another player who had gotten low on hunger, and needed to return to their home for the day.

Traveling by minecart was efficient, but only if you’d already had tracks lain. His lonely journey was over rough lands and through vast mountain ranges, so he preferred his steed, Wert the Pig. Straddling the mighty beast, he soon arrived in front of a massive wooden fortress.

Protected against griefing by cleverly exploited server features, the building had done nothing but grow in the time he’d been absent. Walking in casually, he was greeted at the door by an armed, but slacking, guard. RC took careful note of the strengths and weaknesses, and who roamed where. Clearly, politics had changed, as there were many new people in the most sought-after rooms and lounges. Due to Mitch, the impostor Benja, dying, people had been drinking extra nausea potions, unaware of the Benja that was walking through their midst. He walked over to the main hall, where his soon-to-be throne would rest.

Moving over to a gloomy hallway, he pulled aside a random passerby, covering their mouth with a handkerchief that he’d lifted from an inebriated woman. Pulling out his axe, he muttered to them, “Listen here, mister. I need you to do me a favor. Do it, and you’ll be paid well. Fail, and you die within the hour. It’s very easy. Walk to the main hall, and shout ‘Benja has returned,’ and nothing else. Got it? Now go.”

The intimidated stranger, knowing very well that baccas loved axes, did as he was told, and soon a throng had gathered around him, threatening him with various punishments if he didn’t say that Benja had died. With the people distracted, RC stalked over to the hidden armory, and donned the best suit of armor they had. Preparing his axe and health potions, he walked over to the main hall, and yet remained unnoticed.

Standing on the stage, he muttered, “System announcement! ‘The True Benja has returned!’” and waited as the server followed his command. A small group of drunkards, noticing it was him who said it, walked up and uttered slurred foul oaths at him, but were too stoned to realize what was happening. A guard, noticing the commotion, walked over, and realized only too late what had taken place. RC leaped forwards, axe drawn, and let it do its work.

Finishing up in a matter of seconds, he walked out of the room, blood dripping from the blade. He made another system command, this time to teleport everyone within the building in front of him, guard and civilian alike. When people realized he’d done it, they ran towards him, fists flying and weapons flashing. But just as before, the one true Benja dashed around, hewing necks with the grace of a dancer. Glancing around, he estimated there to be something near to 46 people in the room aside from himself. He activated a custom skill, known only to himself, which he dubbed ‘The RC_4777’, which allowed him to flow from slice to slash with minimal effort, as a single movement, rather than making each blow an individual slash. Ducking, he knocked the legs of a pair of people together, causing them to fall into three others. His mind went on auto-pilot, sliding his blade along from one stance to another, as an extension of his soul. Damage potions served where sheer numbers were troublesome, and he gradually decimated the opposing force to less than ten. Looking for his two agents, he located them at the back of the room, standing in awed silence. Walking over to the last remaining foes, he quietly beheaded their stunned bodies.

Picking up items as he walked towards his agents, he said, “Hello, HalfSquirrel and Arena Master. I see you’re still in good health. You may take your leave now. You’ll find the houses prepared as we agreed, fully stocked. If you do so desire, feel free to take any items from the slain. You’ve earned all we agreed on, and more. Consider it my apology for exposing you to such a slaughter.”

After cleaning up and locking the gate, RC retired to his old chambers, untouched and unseen since his exile.......

[cadbane4321]

Alright, I was going to go play a game of League of Legends, but since I was tagged here I'll make a long post. cadbane4321, prepare to have your rear end handed to you.


(I'm just making this sound really mad, I'm not actually mad)
First of all, Cadbane, that was a cheap, pointless way to get in the lead.

Now I'm going to rant >:3
League of Legends - First, I'll start with my favorite Champion, Heimerdinger.
Heimerdinger is known as "The Revered Inventor" because he, often by himself, has invented and created many machines and "Techmaturgical" devices, and overall enhanced technology in the League of Legends world, known as Runeterra.

Oh, wait! I haven't gone into Runeterra's lore! Yes, lore. It is a very important thing in League of Legends, as it explains where characters come from, what they do, why they have certain skills, and many other things.

Runeterra is a continent with a few different countries/tribes.
First, there's Demacia. (Zaex) Led by the line of Jarvan's and currently Jarvan IV, if I recall correctly, it stands for justice, might, and all noble virtues. It lies along the west coast of Valoran, where its people all aim to disseminate benevolence and create a better environment for everyone.
One of their most famous soldiers is Garen, the Might of Demacia, along with others such as Fiora, the Grand Duelist, Galio, the Sentinel's Sorrow, Lucian, the Purifier, Lux, the Lady of Luminosity, Poppy, the Iron Ambassador, Quinn and Valor, Demacia's Wings, Shyvana, the Half-Dragon, Sona, the Maven of Strings, Vayne, the Night Hunter, and Xin Zhao, the Seneschal of Demacia.

I currently have been playing a lot of Lucian, who happens to originate from Demacia. He is a ranged marksman, also known as an Attack Damage Carry, or ADC for short. When playing Lucian, usually you want to focus on purchasing attack damage items, such as a Bloodthirster, Black Cleaver, and Last Whisper. Trinity force is also an excellent item on him, and Blade of the Ruined King is also somewhat popular. A Guardian Angel with help him survive a lot more, but if you need to you can purchase separate Magic Resist and Armor items, such as a Frozen Heart/Randuin's Omen and Maw of Malmortius, as they also have other helpful statistics.

Lucian's Lore: (Mooclan Summary ;3)

He originates from Demacia, according to Demacia's page. He and his wife, Senna, worked together using matching guns to "purify" dark places. Lucian's kindness touched the hearts of those they saved, while Senna's dedication never faltered.
Together they saw horrors that would tear the souls of hardened warriors, but they stood firm through it all. Eventually, their adventures led them to the Shadow Isles, as souls had been manifesting across Runeterra. That was where they met the soul-collecter, Thresh. They had faced scarier, but no one as clever, or as devious and cruel. Some time during their encounter, Thresh managed to trick and trap Senna, Lucian's partner, in a spectral prison. Lucian knew that she was lost, and could not be saved. For the first time ever, Lucian was alone.

What Thresh did was take one of two of the Shadow Isles' most dangerous enemies, and create the most dangerous single person they had ever faced. Thresh had stripped Lucian of his kindness, and turned him into a cold, hard, killing machine. In honor of his fallen comrade, he took up her weapon, and served to purge the Shadow Isles of all that is dark and dangerous. He knows Senna is lost, but one day he hopes to be able to put her at peace.

And now that my story concludes (Yes, I did look at the Background page for Lucian while writing it) I'll move onto my PvP Guide!

Mooclan’s MCSG and PvP Guide

Please note, this Guide is designed with legitimate fights in mind. Fighting a hacker is much tougher, and this Guide is not intended to cover such fights.
~PvP~

PvP in general, regardless of server.
1. Do not use any performance-improving mods or hacks! Learn to play legitimately, and you’ll do well on any computer, assuming you have a standard keyboard/mouse or trackpad, whichever you’re used to. Computer-improving mods, such as Optifine, are good. When I say “Performance-improving”, I mean things that would give you an advantage over the other players, such as Better Sprint Mod, Aimbot, ForceField, Etc. You will be looked down upon by players that play legitimately and are still good. If you can learn to fight well without any of these, that’s great!

2. Strafe! No matter what people say, strafing is an excellent technique, assuming you can do it correctly and efficiently. One way to strafe is by moving left and right. Circle the opponent, get behind them. Doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as you can avoid the opponents’ hits. Sometimes you can just walk right through them, turn around, and knock them around. An effective tip for strafing is to stick close to the opponent. Don’t make large loops around them, because it will give them more time to aim at you (And hit you). Circle them in small, tight loops, so that you can easily confuse and get behind them.

3. Stun them! There’s rumors that if you can hit the opponent in a certain way, then they will be stunned, and unable to retaliate. This is partially true. If you are able to move fast enough and efficiently, you can accumulate massive amounts of knockback, and they won’t be able to hit you. This can often be confused for Aimbot, however, so beware of that.

4. Block-Hitting. Yeah, yeah. We’ve all heard those people saying “Oh, block-hitting is for noobs.” But it’s really not! It is a tried and tested strategy, and really does help. It lowers the damage you take, if I’m not mistaken. If you hit both the attack and block buttons in quick succession, it deals damage, while minimizing the damage that you take, and is called “Block-hitting”. It will make you move much slower, as blocking makes you move slower than sneaking will. Click the left mouse button, then the right one right after. Make the gap between left and right clicks as small as possible. Some people say to click both buttons at the same time - It doesn’t work that way for me, but feel free to try it.

5. Fishing Rods. (Rumors about Fishing Rods being unusable in 1.7) If you hit a person with a fishing rod, it deals some slight knockback. Enough to stop them from sprinting. If they are good at sprinting, as some players are, it won’t do much, but will still disorient them slightly. One way to use fishing rods is by having the person charge at you, hitting them with the fishing rod, switching to your sword, then just continuing the battle. This will stop them from sprinting, and can effectively stop them from strafing around you. It’s helpful if your mouse is slow and/or you are using a low sensitivity, or are just bad at turning in circles accurately. This also is a form of stunning, and can give you the upper hand. Knocking people into water, towards walls, obstacles, etc. can help, as players will have their movement obstructed. It’s helpful for ending chases.

6. Flint and Steel. Ah, the good old FNS. Flint and Steel, often called FNS or Flint N’ Steel, deals damage. It deals several hearts of damage over a few seconds, assuming they don’t jump into water. It will stop them from sprinting every time they take damage, so it’s a great technique for running away unless the opponent has some sort of sprint hacks. If you’re at a disadvantage, either in armor or weapons, just light ‘em up! It has many great aspects to it, so if you can learn to use it right then you’re just one step closer to getting better at PvP!

7. Altitude Differences. If you are able to get below the opponent, you can navigate into an area that you can reach the opponent, but they cannot reach you. This is caused by how Minecraft works, as "you" hit from your character's chest area. Thus, you can reach only a certain distance below you, and an entire block farther upwards. So if you're underneath, you can sometimes get several hits on the other person before you come into their range. However, it is possible to escape this, if you're the person above. Either by running away or by strafing to the sides, it's possible to reverse the flow of the battle even when above. Also, if you're on a mountain or near a cliff, it's often a good idea to try and knock your opponent off the cliff. It's particularly easy if you're above them, and they're below, if they're the one near the cliff, as you'll be able to hold your ground while they can get pushed off. However, if the roles are switched, either push straight towards them, and try to kill them before you get pushed off, or run away. Depending on the situation, running away can be difficult, and killing them first is unlikely.

8. Water PvP. Are you being chased, or chasing someone else? Unless they are absolutely terrible, having worse gear is usually fatal. Weapons are the #1 advantage you can possible have. Block-Hitting is really effective if you are being chased, but if you are the pursuer, then it will only slow you down. According to Minecraft Reach Theory, if you are below someone, then you will be able to hit them more. This is because when you are at the same level of someone, you can both hit each other at the same range. If you are above them, then your reach will be shorter, because you are two blocks tall, but don’t hit from the center of your body. You hit from somewhere around your shoulders or head, not the waist or stomach. With that in mind, you have a shorter reach downwards than you do upwards. It’s similar in real life. That way, if you get below someone then you’ll be able to hit them from further away. This is rather useful in maps with deeper water. If you’re chasing someone, don’t hit them with a fishing rod. Go into the water, sprint on the ground, then come back up. That way, you’ll be sprinting, and thus catch up to them gradually. Works best for long distances. If you’re being chased by someone, push them away with your fishing rod. Once you have enough space, then go do the sprint trick. If you have a teammate, you can push each other with fishing rods.

9. Sprinting. This is one of the mechanisms in Minecraft that makes PvP even remotely challenging. When you are hit or hit someone else, you stop sprinting. That’s why you should learn to time your sprinting perfectly and learn to double-tap the “W” key ultra-fast. While this will take several hours of practice (Took me 21 hours, if I recall correctly, to get to my current proficiency) if you can learn it properly, and learn to apply it without thinking, you’ll have a big advantage while fighting. Also, there will be maps with mountains where sprinting is a huge advantage. Getting knockback on your opponent is very valuable, especially if you are above them, hitting them downwards. They’ll be hit off the side of the mountain, and if you’re lucky they will sustain large amounts of damage, from both your hits and the fall damage. If you’re running either up or down a mountain, sprinting is again valuable. If you can sprint in the small gaps of space that it is technically possible, you can slowly inch ahead of your pursuer, or gain on the person you’re chasing. When it comes to small hills or bumps in a road, sprinting can easily be disabled just by hitting a block because you mis-timed your jump. If that happens, an opponent can cross a surprising amount of land between you and them in the time it takes the average player to re-sprint. If you learn to time your jumps and sprint faster, this will be less of an issue. Again, if you’re the one chasing them, then the opponent can escape further away. Using a sprint-training map can be especially helpful, like a timed parkour map or something similar.

10. Knockback. When you’re sprinting and hit an opponent, you’ll “Knock” them back. This can be used to stun opponents, and give them a delay. If done 100% correctly and perfectly executed, which is rare, then you can in fact escape a fight completely unharmed. Learning to combine sprinting with fishing rods and whatnot can be extremely valuable, as it can stun opponents very, very effectively. If YOU yourself are stunned, then your best bet is to retreat and try and charge again without getting stunned, unless you know how to recover from a stun quickly. Knockback can also be used to hit people into traps, off edges, and into walls. If you hit them into a wall, they will lose their sprint and will go slower.
~MCSG~
Survival Games is a much broader topic than PvP in general. As such, first I’ll split it into three groups: Regular hunger/survival games, The Hive, and the Minecraft Survival Games.

The first group is on most servers, but “MCSG” and “The Hive” are more official, custom-coded, and professionally-run. For the first type, tiers are randomized. All I can really say is to get as many chests as you can. Perhaps study the map a little bit, and find a good route.

The Hive has chests that are sometimes not there, and thus you need a longer route for. I personally don’t play it often, so I can’t give many tips aside from what I can say from my experiences in MCSG. Learn what items you can and cannot find, and how often. Try to develop methods, even if it means copying YouTubers.

Onto the Minecraft Survival Games:

This can also partially be applied to the Hive and just about any other Survival Games server.

First Stage. in the Survival Games is the Lobby. You might think it’s unimportant, but it actually can make a difference. How? That’s where you make allies and foes, of course! Avoid angering people who might target you (Who knows? They might get a stone sword off of the Cornucopia.) Make allies, if you want. If you’re confident in your solo abilities, then that’s fine. But some people prefer to play in a team. Either call over some friends from Skype/Clans, etc. or team with someone who’s in the Lobby already.

Second Stage. Pregame and the first few seconds. Don’t start sprinting with several seconds left, but rather, start sprinting just before the timer runs out. The system won’t have enough time to teleport you back, and you’ll get a little bit of a head-start. Small, yes, but everything counts. If there’s only a few chests on that map in Cornucopia, then go straight for the one in front of you. If there’s a large number of chests, then you can try heading for a chest slightly to the side. You’ll grab some loot from that chest, and there’s a larger chance that the chest in front of you is still untouched - It works for me sometimes, and I’ve gotten gear like full-iron armor and a diamond sword in the first two minutes that way. However, if there’s multiple chests, then some of them might be tier ones.

Third stage. Assuming you live this long, then try running towards your chest route. If you don’t have a chest route, then pick a cardinal direction, such as North, South, East, and West. You can find them using F3, a compass, or you can just go straight ahead in one of the directions (It’s pretty obvious how to go straight.) Keep your eyes open for both enemies, traps, and chests. Traps are rare, but if you get caught in one then you will probably die or be stuck for the rest of the game unless someone sponsors you an enderpearl, or you get hit out using knockback, etc. Grab any chests you see, but make sure no one else is near either the chest or you, because when you’re looking in your inventory, someone can run up to you very easily and get a head-start in any fight. Make sure to keep note of any good chests, and where they are - Tier twos especially. That way, you can return to them in future games for a slight head-start. At this stage in the game, taking risks by fighting is a bad idea. It’s recommended that you get at least 5 armor bars, and even then don’t take on a person with better gear than you, or a team (Unless the team has minimal equipment.) Target players with less armor, and do your best to avoid people with good armor, weapons, or a high amount of wins (If you know from previous knowledge.) If you do end up getting involved in a fight, then see what gear they have. You’ll either have to stand and fight, or run. Make good use of your various weapons, location, and anything else you might have.

Fourth Stage. The stage where you’re fighting, chasing people, and being chased. If you’re in this stage, it means that you either have an iron or diamond sword, or really good armor, like 7-7.5 armor bars, or both armor and weapons. Make sure you have enough food in your hotbar to last a dragged out chase, and arrows to snipe from afar. Never waste your arrows on someone extremely far away, unless you’re confident you can kill them. They’ll be able to regenerate their health by the time you get close to them, and you will have wasted or given them your arrows. If you’re fighting someone up close and melee, then use tactics. Make sure you see what kind of armor and weapon they have. Bows aren’t for melee, but some people like to bow-spam once they have a few blocks between you and themselves. It’s not recommended unless you have enough space and a lot of arrows to spare, because it’s not a very efficient way to deal damage, unless they’re next to a cliff, but then it’s always better to just run up and knock them off. Fishing rods can deal knockback better than bows, but bows also deal damage, so it’s up to you which to use. If you’re completely immersed in a swordfight, then make sure not to be drawn towards edges or obstacles, unless you’re the one drawing them there in order to use it to your own advantage, but make sure not to be caught in your own trap. Once you have a few blocks of space, if the person is still chasing after you, then try and light them on fire. Don’t blatantly hold out your flint and steel, but switch to it a split second before using it, then switch back to your sword immediately. This will catch them by surprise, and deal a goodly amount of damage, as well as stopping their sprint. If you yourself are caught on fire, from either the enemy or your own fire, then just fight. You won’t be able to run away, UNLESS the opponent is also on fire. If that is the case, then you can probably maintain your distance. Perhaps try and re-light them, taking care not to do yourself in, too. After a second fire, the main priority is to either fight or run, and flint and steel becomes less effective, since they will anticipate another fire. Fighting is pretty simple. Use tips that are written above, in the PvP section, to help you. If you’re in a chase, then try and anticipate where they will turn. Don’t anticipate too much, because they might see you and go the other way. If you can lead them into corners, traps, etc. then that’s great. Make sure you have enough food in your hotbar for a long haul, and think about saturation and how many food bars it replenishes. If you’re the one being chased, then take unexpected turns. If they’re right behind you, then you can stop, do a 180 turn, and go straight through them - Depending on how experienced they are, 9/10 people will miss you entirely if you execute it well. Make sure to avoid losing your sprint, and don’t turn around to set them on fire unless they’re much too close and you have a nearly guaranteed chance of actually catching them on fire.

Fifth Stage. This is near the end of the game, when there’s maybe 5 people left, and you have to hunt for a few minutes to find anyone. Make sure your inventory is clear, grab only what you need, and toss unnecessary food such as raw meat, watermelon slices, cookies, etc. Make sure you have enough Flint N’ Steels to last you in a 2v1, just in case, and arrange them in your hotbar. Keep ample food in your hotbar, as well, keeping in mind saturation for drawn-out chases. Watch your sides and back at all times, and spin around every once in a while and make sure no one’s chasing you. Always stay within a regenerating amount of food bars, in case someone suddenly drops down and surprise-attacks you. Just hunt down or be hunted by the other players, and if you play it safe and fight well, you should make it to Death Match. Refer to the PvP section for specific combat tips.

Sixth Stage. DeathMatch. The final countdown, and you’re released. Try and get a single arrow into an opponent. If they have full, or nearly full, iron armor, then don’t aim at them, but rather the weaker opponent, as the stronger one will take less damage and regenerate their missing hearts sooner. Don’t charge in recklessly. Whether you’re in the middle or on the side, try and run away. Play defense, and don’t sign your death-wish. Let the other two fight, and when one is dead, come in and cleanup the remaining player. If that’s not possible, then shoot the remaining player a few times before running in to ensure they have low HP. If you have really bad gear, then try and sneak up behind them, grab some items lying down from the kill, and run away. Equip it when you have some safe distance, and don’t fuss over organization. Time is running out. Shoot them if you need, and if they have decent gear then don’t bow-spam, as it won’t do much but slow them down. Fire is your friend, as long as you can avoid it. Lay traps and place it right next to where they’re headed, or under them if they’re not moving. Knocking them back into it more than once is great, as it’ll deal extra damage and prolong the flame damage. If, for some reason, the remaining two are a team or both chasing you, then use flint n’ steel as much as necessary. Don’t use it to the point of catching yourself on fire, but slowly draw down their HP. Dodge arrows and blows, and stay on the edge of their range, where you can hurt them but they are unable to affect you. Don’t get drawn into a corner, and maintain open space where you can run away. Just kill, kill, kill, and the clock will tick until you actually kill.

Seventh Stage. The fireworks! Dance, light yourself on fire, and if you’re extremely happy, say, “Good Game!” Go have a steak, a cake, or make a flake of, uh, I ran out of words. But congratulations, you won the Survival Games! Don’t forget to give Mr. Mooclan a hug for his super-duper long Guide that he wrote between the hours of 12 and 4 AM.





And moving on, to a story that I wrote for RC_4777 a little while ago!

Black suits, and black dresses filed down a line, in solemn observance of a funeral. Or, rather, bacc suits, as today, thousands of baccas mourned their leader, Benja. Outside the dome, even more players were in cheerful hysterics, held back only by a ring of stony-faced bacca-riot guards. As the procession reached its final destination, time seemed to stop. All was still for hundreds of blocks in each direction, and people waited in tense silence. A pair of baccas stepped forwards in unison, and lowered their leader to his earthen grave. Tossing flowers and other farewell-gifts, individuals stepped forwards and bid Benja farewell. As four blocks of dirt were respectfully lowered over the coffin, the riot outside grew to an unprecedented pitch, and a mass of people broke through the ring of guards.

Sprinting forwards, they advanced in a war-formation towards the graveyard. Three men stood in the front, and the one in the center shouted, “Good evening to you, men of the bacc. Greetings from JOEYGRACEFFA, our leader. We are here to claim this land for our mighty leader, and extinguish the bacca race.” At this, the men behind him spread out like a deck of cards, armed with heavy equipment. A small group of baccas, disorganized and clumsy, approached from behind. Without a signal or leader, they tried mustering the courage to repel the invaders, but lacked coordination.

With a single will, the men stomped once on the ground, and dared the baccas to approach. However, that single shaking of the ground caused a nearby building to shake, and a dark figure fell from the top floor. He stood up, and dusted himself off. Approaching the two parties, he coughed, and said, “Hello, my dear baccas. And your tidings are indeed good ones, men of JOEYGRACEFFA. For I am Benja, the real one. And I am glad to have this chance to extinguish you, pitiful beings.”

“Hah, nonsense. You’re probably only at 1 heart from that huge fall. You should have known better than to sit in so perilous a perch. Fool, prepare yourself. You bear no arms, nor do you bring with you a set of armor. And you were just buried, if I’m not mistaken. This world has no ghosts.” The JOEYGRACEFFA spokesman chuckled. Two warriors turned towards Benja, and casually walked over, weapons in hand.

“Ah, but you see, that is where you are incorrect. That fall? Yes, you saw it. From that building behind me. You are wrong. It did not deal me 9 hearts of damage, for it did 27. But that was a mere scratch to my total health. You are the fool, and the one who just died, in my eyes at least, for you have just signed a death-warrant. Behold! The power of the real Benja, RC the Fabulous!” And with that, he dashed forwards, crossing dozens of blocks in a mere split-second.

Lunging to the right, he yanked a soldier to the ground. Taking the iron axe, he slid it across the back of the fallen man, who disintegrated into tiny particles a moment later. Continuing on to the second knight, he feinted to the left, only to dash around from the right and behead him, with apparent ease. Slowly straightening up, he had a deadly grin on his face. Dramatically walking to the army, he stretched the arm that bore the murder weapon. Steadily gaining speed with what appeared to only be a walking stride, he rapidly closed the remaining distance. In the blink of an eye, he was above everyone, and fell upon his prey with the ferocity of a lion. Whipping the gleaming weapon back and forth between newly-bloodied bodies, he cut through iron armor like it was budder. His body a blur, weapons simply couldn’t touch him. In mere seconds, he had a brand-new diamond axe pressed against the neck of the spokesman, who now laid on the ground in shock.

“W-what? H-h-how is this even possible? We.. we were so… Joey said we wouldn’t fail! He said he had confidence in us.. no! We’ve failed Joey!” He choked, unable to continue.

“Simple. You dared challenge my loyal subjects. You dared to challenge me. For that, the punishment is death.” Benja, now known as RC the Fabulous, slowly let his new weapon taste flesh. Once the foul deed was done, RC stood up, and addressed all the stunned baccas. “Hello, baccas. I am your true Benja. I have awaited the day that you would bury the impostor, Mitch. He has done a horrible thing, turning my beloved baccas into his personal army. No, he is not Benja. Long ago, he stole the title from me through treachery. I would have claimed it long ago, but you, my dear baccas, would have been hurt in the process, for he was guarded by your kind. But alas, I have returned!”



A single voice resounded through the silent graveyard, and a single bacca walked forwards to stand in front of RC. The original bacca, Jerome. “Well, well, well. What do we have here? Or rather, who? Why, I believe it’s the mighty king, Benja! Welcome back, m’lord. Three cheers for Benja!”

As one, the baccas roared their approval. Bowing, RC whispered to Jerome, “Quick, I need to know what I’ve missed. I haven’t spoken to you in too long, my good man, too long.”

Jerome responded in an equally low tone, “We may not have much time, m’lord. There’s still a giant mob outside the dome, and all they could see from there is that Joey’s men fell, while we’re still standing. Mitch ruined the baccas, he did. Turned them into a horror-story in themselves. Are you sure you’re up to the task of righting their wrongs?”

Standing, RC walked closer to the baccas, and announced, “People of the bacc! I come to you today as your new Benja! But before we can celebrate and fix whatever has gone wrong, we must first escape. I ask that you take a weapon and suit of armor from one of the people that I have slain here before you, and help get everyone suited up. You shall need all the firepower and protection that you can get. Please give elders and children the Protection IV armor, and take for yourself according to your needs. We will have to move swiftly and effectively in order to escape this confinement, and for that we need potions. I have with me a set of Swiftness potions, which I will distribute. Once we are all suited up, please approach a bacca with a potion, and right before we all move out, we’ll have the potions splashed onto ourselves. Does everyone understand?”

After hearing their confirmation, he approached Jerome again, who had just finished showing a baby-bacc how to swing an axe like a true man of the bacc. “Ho, there, Jerome. Good to see that baccas still hold axes as a sacred instrument of true power. Before we set out, I need to make sure that you know where I’ll be taking everyone.”

Jerome looked up, and slowly replied, “Wait, no. Surely, you can’t be serious.”

“I am. Very much so, in fact. I intend to take it as our own before the night is up. But I need to make sure that you know what to do while I’m gone.” RC gravely confirmed. “You know I’ve done little but wait for a good opportunity to take back the throne. This is part of it, for what is a king without a kingdom? I have two agents working an inside job. They’re loyal, but they’re not baccas. I have promised them both a life on the outskirts of the kingdom, hidden from the view of baccas. Once this is all over… but that is still a long way to go, so for now we must deal with the issues of the present. I need you to take our people, and bring them back to the farmhouse until later tonight. Once I’ve emptied the new place, I’ll send a message-pig. You can handle it - have faith in yourself, if only because I have faith in you.”

“This would be a suicide mission from anyone aside from you… Out of curiosity and concern for your safety, will you answer one thing? How did you defeat those bastards? Twenty-seven hearts? That’d kill me nearly three times over! And your speed!? I’ve never even seen Mitch stand up that fast when someone told him they had a beer for him. What in the blazes was that?”

“Oh, that? I have custom feather-falling boots, sold to me by an Administrator, altered to look like my feet. I used a diluted invisibility potion to make the blurred-appearance. No one, to my knowledge, can actually move that fast. However, I still have increased my speed insanely. I still doubt Mitch would be able to keep up with me, even in the prime of his life.” Unbeknownst to Jerome, those were sugarcoated lies. RC had, in actuality, worked tirelessly for years to hone his resistance and other skills, to a point where he took absolutely no damage from a diamond sword.

Walking away, he looked over his new comrades with a sense of pride, knowing that they would soon know the monstrosities and lies that the fake Benja had hidden behind, and that he had been able to help his beloved baccas.

He reached the stairs of the graveyard officer, and addressed the congregation. “Can I have your attention, please! I’m seeing that you all are ready, and so we will begin to distribute the splash potions. Every splash potion must be used on at least 10 baccas, as we do not have unlimited resources. As soon as you are splashed, please face the north. I will be at the front, and try to clear a path. Our dutiful bacca guards have been instructed to aid in our assistance, and will protect from the sides and rear, while I myself will defend the front. If at any time you fall behind, do not hesitate to let us know. No bacca left behind!” As the crowd separated into smaller groups, he handed out the potions, and headed north, where he found an old comrade, xTopBacca.

Surprised to see him, he called out, “Hullo, xTopBacca! What have we here? A real, live member of the original baccas? Wow, this is indeed news. I could only ask so many questions of dear Jerome, so I’m afraid I must ask you some things.”

“Why, Benja! It is so good to see you again. You’ve no idea how thoroughly Mitch trashed our kind. We’re disrespected by nearly all! You must save us, as you’re the only one who can. I trust you have taken the appropriate steps, eh?” xTopBacca smiled, and rubbed his paws together. He quickly splashed his potion on a few children, and hurried over to the front lines, where he could talk to Benja easier.

They chatted for a few brief seconds, and then RC had to shout “Advance, my baccas! To freedom, to safety, and to redemption!”

Charging forwards, RC swung his axe overhead. As they reached the line of riot guards, the guards converged on them, forming a tighter defense. Confident in his comrades, the fighter quietly disappeared. Slipping through the gaps in bodies, he twisted and turned, and soon emerged, disguised as just another player who had gotten low on hunger, and needed to return to their home for the day.

Traveling by minecart was efficient, but only if you’d already had tracks lain. His lonely journey was over rough lands and through vast mountain ranges, so he preferred his steed, Wert the Pig. Straddling the mighty beast, he soon arrived in front of a massive wooden fortress.

Protected against griefing by cleverly exploited server features, the building had done nothing but grow in the time he’d been absent. Walking in casually, he was greeted at the door by an armed, but slacking, guard. RC took careful note of the strengths and weaknesses, and who roamed where. Clearly, politics had changed, as there were many new people in the most sought-after rooms and lounges. Due to Mitch, the impostor Benja, dying, people had been drinking extra nausea potions, unaware of the Benja that was walking through their midst. He walked over to the main hall, where his soon-to-be throne would rest.

Moving over to a gloomy hallway, he pulled aside a random passerby, covering their mouth with a handkerchief that he’d lifted from an inebriated woman. Pulling out his axe, he muttered to them, “Listen here, mister. I need you to do me a favor. Do it, and you’ll be paid well. Fail, and you die within the hour. It’s very easy. Walk to the main hall, and shout ‘Benja has returned,’ and nothing else. Got it? Now go.”

The intimidated stranger, knowing very well that baccas loved axes, did as he was told, and soon a throng had gathered around him, threatening him with various punishments if he didn’t say that Benja had died. With the people distracted, RC stalked over to the hidden armory, and donned the best suit of armor they had. Preparing his axe and health potions, he walked over to the main hall, and yet remained unnoticed.

Standing on the stage, he muttered, “System announcement! ‘The True Benja has returned!’” and waited as the server followed his command. A small group of drunkards, noticing it was him who said it, walked up and uttered slurred foul oaths at him, but were too stoned to realize what was happening. A guard, noticing the commotion, walked over, and realized only too late what had taken place. RC leaped forwards, axe drawn, and let it do its work.

Finishing up in a matter of seconds, he walked out of the room, blood dripping from the blade. He made another system command, this time to teleport everyone within the building in front of him, guard and civilian alike. When people realized he’d done it, they ran towards him, fists flying and weapons flashing. But just as before, the one true Benja dashed around, hewing necks with the grace of a dancer. Glancing around, he estimated there to be something near to 46 people in the room aside from himself. He activated a custom skill, known only to himself, which he dubbed ‘The RC_4777’, which allowed him to flow from slice to slash with minimal effort, as a single movement, rather than making each blow an individual slash. Ducking, he knocked the legs of a pair of people together, causing them to fall into three others. His mind went on auto-pilot, sliding his blade along from one stance to another, as an extension of his soul. Damage potions served where sheer numbers were troublesome, and he gradually decimated the opposing force to less than ten. Looking for his two agents, he located them at the back of the room, standing in awed silence. Walking over to the last remaining foes, he quietly beheaded their stunned bodies.

Picking up items as he walked towards his agents, he said, “Hello, HalfSquirrel and Arena Master. I see you’re still in good health. You may take your leave now. You’ll find the houses prepared as we agreed, fully stocked. If you do so desire, feel free to take any items from the slain. You’ve earned all we agreed on, and more. Consider it my apology for exposing you to such a slaughter.”

After cleaning up and locking the gate, RC retired to his old chambers, untouched and unseen since his exile.

Wow, I'm impressed.
I would copy and paste a bunch of random Wikipedia articles, but that would be really cheap since you wrote the whole thing!

Alright, I was going to go play a game of League of Legends, but since I was tagged here I'll make a long post. cadbane4321, prepare to have your rear end handed to you.


(I'm just making this sound really mad, I'm not actually mad)
First of all, Cadbane, that was a cheap, pointless way to get in the lead.

Now I'm going to rant >:3
League of Legends - First, I'll start with my favorite Champion, Heimerdinger.
Heimerdinger is known as "The Revered Inventor" because he, often by himself, has invented and created many machines and "Techmaturgical" devices, and overall enhanced technology in the League of Legends world, known as Runeterra.

Oh, wait! I haven't gone into Runeterra's lore! Yes, lore. It is a very important thing in League of Legends, as it explains where characters come from, what they do, why they have certain skills, and many other things.

Runeterra is a continent with a few different countries/tribes.
First, there's Demacia. (Zaex) Led by the line of Jarvan's and currently Jarvan IV, if I recall correctly, it stands for justice, might, and all noble virtues. It lies along the west coast of Valoran, where its people all aim to disseminate benevolence and create a better environment for everyone.
One of their most famous soldiers is Garen, the Might of Demacia, along with others such as Fiora, the Grand Duelist, Galio, the Sentinel's Sorrow, Lucian, the Purifier, Lux, the Lady of Luminosity, Poppy, the Iron Ambassador, Quinn and Valor, Demacia's Wings, Shyvana, the Half-Dragon, Sona, the Maven of Strings, Vayne, the Night Hunter, and Xin Zhao, the Seneschal of Demacia.

I currently have been playing a lot of Lucian, who happens to originate from Demacia. He is a ranged marksman, also known as an Attack Damage Carry, or ADC for short. When playing Lucian, usually you want to focus on purchasing attack damage items, such as a Bloodthirster, Black Cleaver, and Last Whisper. Trinity force is also an excellent item on him, and Blade of the Ruined King is also somewhat popular. A Guardian Angel with help him survive a lot more, but if you need to you can purchase separate Magic Resist and Armor items, such as a Frozen Heart/Randuin's Omen and Maw of Malmortius, as they also have other helpful statistics.

Lucian's Lore: (Mooclan Summary ;3)

He originates from Demacia, according to Demacia's page. He and his wife, Senna, worked together using matching guns to "purify" dark places. Lucian's kindness touched the hearts of those they saved, while Senna's dedication never faltered.
Together they saw horrors that would tear the souls of hardened warriors, but they stood firm through it all. Eventually, their adventures led them to the Shadow Isles, as souls had been manifesting across Runeterra. That was where they met the soul-collecter, Thresh. They had faced scarier, but no one as clever, or as devious and cruel. Some time during their encounter, Thresh managed to trick and trap Senna, Lucian's partner, in a spectral prison. Lucian knew that she was lost, and could not be saved. For the first time ever, Lucian was alone.

What Thresh did was take one of two of the Shadow Isles' most dangerous enemies, and create the most dangerous single person they had ever faced. Thresh had stripped Lucian of his kindness, and turned him into a cold, hard, killing machine. In honor of his fallen comrade, he took up her weapon, and served to purge the Shadow Isles of all that is dark and dangerous. He knows Senna is lost, but one day he hopes to be able to put her at peace.

And now that my story concludes (Yes, I did look at the Background page for Lucian while writing it) I'll move onto my PvP Guide!

Mooclan’s MCSG and PvP Guide

Please note, this Guide is designed with legitimate fights in mind. Fighting a hacker is much tougher, and this Guide is not intended to cover such fights.
~PvP~

PvP in general, regardless of server.
1. Do not use any performance-improving mods or hacks! Learn to play legitimately, and you’ll do well on any computer, assuming you have a standard keyboard/mouse or trackpad, whichever you’re used to. Computer-improving mods, such as Optifine, are good. When I say “Performance-improving”, I mean things that would give you an advantage over the other players, such as Better Sprint Mod, Aimbot, ForceField, Etc. You will be looked down upon by players that play legitimately and are still good. If you can learn to fight well without any of these, that’s great!

2. Strafe! No matter what people say, strafing is an excellent technique, assuming you can do it correctly and efficiently. One way to strafe is by moving left and right. Circle the opponent, get behind them. Doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as you can avoid the opponents’ hits. Sometimes you can just walk right through them, turn around, and knock them around. An effective tip for strafing is to stick close to the opponent. Don’t make large loops around them, because it will give them more time to aim at you (And hit you). Circle them in small, tight loops, so that you can easily confuse and get behind them.

3. Stun them! There’s rumors that if you can hit the opponent in a certain way, then they will be stunned, and unable to retaliate. This is partially true. If you are able to move fast enough and efficiently, you can accumulate massive amounts of knockback, and they won’t be able to hit you. This can often be confused for Aimbot, however, so beware of that.

4. Block-Hitting. Yeah, yeah. We’ve all heard those people saying “Oh, block-hitting is for noobs.” But it’s really not! It is a tried and tested strategy, and really does help. It lowers the damage you take, if I’m not mistaken. If you hit both the attack and block buttons in quick succession, it deals damage, while minimizing the damage that you take, and is called “Block-hitting”. It will make you move much slower, as blocking makes you move slower than sneaking will. Click the left mouse button, then the right one right after. Make the gap between left and right clicks as small as possible. Some people say to click both buttons at the same time - It doesn’t work that way for me, but feel free to try it.

5. Fishing Rods. (Rumors about Fishing Rods being unusable in 1.7) If you hit a person with a fishing rod, it deals some slight knockback. Enough to stop them from sprinting. If they are good at sprinting, as some players are, it won’t do much, but will still disorient them slightly. One way to use fishing rods is by having the person charge at you, hitting them with the fishing rod, switching to your sword, then just continuing the battle. This will stop them from sprinting, and can effectively stop them from strafing around you. It’s helpful if your mouse is slow and/or you are using a low sensitivity, or are just bad at turning in circles accurately. This also is a form of stunning, and can give you the upper hand. Knocking people into water, towards walls, obstacles, etc. can help, as players will have their movement obstructed. It’s helpful for ending chases.

6. Flint and Steel. Ah, the good old FNS. Flint and Steel, often called FNS or Flint N’ Steel, deals damage. It deals several hearts of damage over a few seconds, assuming they don’t jump into water. It will stop them from sprinting every time they take damage, so it’s a great technique for running away unless the opponent has some sort of sprint hacks. If you’re at a disadvantage, either in armor or weapons, just light ‘em up! It has many great aspects to it, so if you can learn to use it right then you’re just one step closer to getting better at PvP!

7. Altitude Differences. If you are able to get below the opponent, you can navigate into an area that you can reach the opponent, but they cannot reach you. This is caused by how Minecraft works, as "you" hit from your character's chest area. Thus, you can reach only a certain distance below you, and an entire block farther upwards. So if you're underneath, you can sometimes get several hits on the other person before you come into their range. However, it is possible to escape this, if you're the person above. Either by running away or by strafing to the sides, it's possible to reverse the flow of the battle even when above. Also, if you're on a mountain or near a cliff, it's often a good idea to try and knock your opponent off the cliff. It's particularly easy if you're above them, and they're below, if they're the one near the cliff, as you'll be able to hold your ground while they can get pushed off. However, if the roles are switched, either push straight towards them, and try to kill them before you get pushed off, or run away. Depending on the situation, running away can be difficult, and killing them first is unlikely.

8. Water PvP. Are you being chased, or chasing someone else? Unless they are absolutely terrible, having worse gear is usually fatal. Weapons are the #1 advantage you can possible have. Block-Hitting is really effective if you are being chased, but if you are the pursuer, then it will only slow you down. According to Minecraft Reach Theory, if you are below someone, then you will be able to hit them more. This is because when you are at the same level of someone, you can both hit each other at the same range. If you are above them, then your reach will be shorter, because you are two blocks tall, but don’t hit from the center of your body. You hit from somewhere around your shoulders or head, not the waist or stomach. With that in mind, you have a shorter reach downwards than you do upwards. It’s similar in real life. That way, if you get below someone then you’ll be able to hit them from further away. This is rather useful in maps with deeper water. If you’re chasing someone, don’t hit them with a fishing rod. Go into the water, sprint on the ground, then come back up. That way, you’ll be sprinting, and thus catch up to them gradually. Works best for long distances. If you’re being chased by someone, push them away with your fishing rod. Once you have enough space, then go do the sprint trick. If you have a teammate, you can push each other with fishing rods.

9. Sprinting. This is one of the mechanisms in Minecraft that makes PvP even remotely challenging. When you are hit or hit someone else, you stop sprinting. That’s why you should learn to time your sprinting perfectly and learn to double-tap the “W” key ultra-fast. While this will take several hours of practice (Took me 21 hours, if I recall correctly, to get to my current proficiency) if you can learn it properly, and learn to apply it without thinking, you’ll have a big advantage while fighting. Also, there will be maps with mountains where sprinting is a huge advantage. Getting knockback on your opponent is very valuable, especially if you are above them, hitting them downwards. They’ll be hit off the side of the mountain, and if you’re lucky they will sustain large amounts of damage, from both your hits and the fall damage. If you’re running either up or down a mountain, sprinting is again valuable. If you can sprint in the small gaps of space that it is technically possible, you can slowly inch ahead of your pursuer, or gain on the person you’re chasing. When it comes to small hills or bumps in a road, sprinting can easily be disabled just by hitting a block because you mis-timed your jump. If that happens, an opponent can cross a surprising amount of land between you and them in the time it takes the average player to re-sprint. If you learn to time your jumps and sprint faster, this will be less of an issue. Again, if you’re the one chasing them, then the opponent can escape further away. Using a sprint-training map can be especially helpful, like a timed parkour map or something similar.

10. Knockback. When you’re sprinting and hit an opponent, you’ll “Knock” them back. This can be used to stun opponents, and give them a delay. If done 100% correctly and perfectly executed, which is rare, then you can in fact escape a fight completely unharmed. Learning to combine sprinting with fishing rods and whatnot can be extremely valuable, as it can stun opponents very, very effectively. If YOU yourself are stunned, then your best bet is to retreat and try and charge again without getting stunned, unless you know how to recover from a stun quickly. Knockback can also be used to hit people into traps, off edges, and into walls. If you hit them into a wall, they will lose their sprint and will go slower.
~MCSG~
Survival Games is a much broader topic than PvP in general. As such, first I’ll split it into three groups: Regular hunger/survival games, The Hive, and the Minecraft Survival Games.

The first group is on most servers, but “MCSG” and “The Hive” are more official, custom-coded, and professionally-run. For the first type, tiers are randomized. All I can really say is to get as many chests as you can. Perhaps study the map a little bit, and find a good route.

The Hive has chests that are sometimes not there, and thus you need a longer route for. I personally don’t play it often, so I can’t give many tips aside from what I can say from my experiences in MCSG. Learn what items you can and cannot find, and how often. Try to develop methods, even if it means copying YouTubers.

Onto the Minecraft Survival Games:

This can also partially be applied to the Hive and just about any other Survival Games server.

First Stage. in the Survival Games is the Lobby. You might think it’s unimportant, but it actually can make a difference. How? That’s where you make allies and foes, of course! Avoid angering people who might target you (Who knows? They might get a stone sword off of the Cornucopia.) Make allies, if you want. If you’re confident in your solo abilities, then that’s fine. But some people prefer to play in a team. Either call over some friends from Skype/Clans, etc. or team with someone who’s in the Lobby already.

Second Stage. Pregame and the first few seconds. Don’t start sprinting with several seconds left, but rather, start sprinting just before the timer runs out. The system won’t have enough time to teleport you back, and you’ll get a little bit of a head-start. Small, yes, but everything counts. If there’s only a few chests on that map in Cornucopia, then go straight for the one in front of you. If there’s a large number of chests, then you can try heading for a chest slightly to the side. You’ll grab some loot from that chest, and there’s a larger chance that the chest in front of you is still untouched - It works for me sometimes, and I’ve gotten gear like full-iron armor and a diamond sword in the first two minutes that way. However, if there’s multiple chests, then some of them might be tier ones.

Third stage. Assuming you live this long, then try running towards your chest route. If you don’t have a chest route, then pick a cardinal direction, such as North, South, East, and West. You can find them using F3, a compass, or you can just go straight ahead in one of the directions (It’s pretty obvious how to go straight.) Keep your eyes open for both enemies, traps, and chests. Traps are rare, but if you get caught in one then you will probably die or be stuck for the rest of the game unless someone sponsors you an enderpearl, or you get hit out using knockback, etc. Grab any chests you see, but make sure no one else is near either the chest or you, because when you’re looking in your inventory, someone can run up to you very easily and get a head-start in any fight. Make sure to keep note of any good chests, and where they are - Tier twos especially. That way, you can return to them in future games for a slight head-start. At this stage in the game, taking risks by fighting is a bad idea. It’s recommended that you get at least 5 armor bars, and even then don’t take on a person with better gear than you, or a team (Unless the team has minimal equipment.) Target players with less armor, and do your best to avoid people with good armor, weapons, or a high amount of wins (If you know from previous knowledge.) If you do end up getting involved in a fight, then see what gear they have. You’ll either have to stand and fight, or run. Make good use of your various weapons, location, and anything else you might have.

Fourth Stage. The stage where you’re fighting, chasing people, and being chased. If you’re in this stage, it means that you either have an iron or diamond sword, or really good armor, like 7-7.5 armor bars, or both armor and weapons. Make sure you have enough food in your hotbar to last a dragged out chase, and arrows to snipe from afar. Never waste your arrows on someone extremely far away, unless you’re confident you can kill them. They’ll be able to regenerate their health by the time you get close to them, and you will have wasted or given them your arrows. If you’re fighting someone up close and melee, then use tactics. Make sure you see what kind of armor and weapon they have. Bows aren’t for melee, but some people like to bow-spam once they have a few blocks between you and themselves. It’s not recommended unless you have enough space and a lot of arrows to spare, because it’s not a very efficient way to deal damage, unless they’re next to a cliff, but then it’s always better to just run up and knock them off. Fishing rods can deal knockback better than bows, but bows also deal damage, so it’s up to you which to use. If you’re completely immersed in a swordfight, then make sure not to be drawn towards edges or obstacles, unless you’re the one drawing them there in order to use it to your own advantage, but make sure not to be caught in your own trap. Once you have a few blocks of space, if the person is still chasing after you, then try and light them on fire. Don’t blatantly hold out your flint and steel, but switch to it a split second before using it, then switch back to your sword immediately. This will catch them by surprise, and deal a goodly amount of damage, as well as stopping their sprint. If you yourself are caught on fire, from either the enemy or your own fire, then just fight. You won’t be able to run away, UNLESS the opponent is also on fire. If that is the case, then you can probably maintain your distance. Perhaps try and re-light them, taking care not to do yourself in, too. After a second fire, the main priority is to either fight or run, and flint and steel becomes less effective, since they will anticipate another fire. Fighting is pretty simple. Use tips that are written above, in the PvP section, to help you. If you’re in a chase, then try and anticipate where they will turn. Don’t anticipate too much, because they might see you and go the other way. If you can lead them into corners, traps, etc. then that’s great. Make sure you have enough food in your hotbar for a long haul, and think about saturation and how many food bars it replenishes. If you’re the one being chased, then take unexpected turns. If they’re right behind you, then you can stop, do a 180 turn, and go straight through them - Depending on how experienced they are, 9/10 people will miss you entirely if you execute it well. Make sure to avoid losing your sprint, and don’t turn around to set them on fire unless they’re much too close and you have a nearly guaranteed chance of actually catching them on fire.

Fifth Stage. This is near the end of the game, when there’s maybe 5 people left, and you have to hunt for a few minutes to find anyone. Make sure your inventory is clear, grab only what you need, and toss unnecessary food such as raw meat, watermelon slices, cookies, etc. Make sure you have enough Flint N’ Steels to last you in a 2v1, just in case, and arrange them in your hotbar. Keep ample food in your hotbar, as well, keeping in mind saturation for drawn-out chases. Watch your sides and back at all times, and spin around every once in a while and make sure no one’s chasing you. Always stay within a regenerating amount of food bars, in case someone suddenly drops down and surprise-attacks you. Just hunt down or be hunted by the other players, and if you play it safe and fight well, you should make it to Death Match. Refer to the PvP section for specific combat tips.

Sixth Stage. DeathMatch. The final countdown, and you’re released. Try and get a single arrow into an opponent. If they have full, or nearly full, iron armor, then don’t aim at them, but rather the weaker opponent, as the stronger one will take less damage and regenerate their missing hearts sooner. Don’t charge in recklessly. Whether you’re in the middle or on the side, try and run away. Play defense, and don’t sign your death-wish. Let the other two fight, and when one is dead, come in and cleanup the remaining player. If that’s not possible, then shoot the remaining player a few times before running in to ensure they have low HP. If you have really bad gear, then try and sneak up behind them, grab some items lying down from the kill, and run away. Equip it when you have some safe distance, and don’t fuss over organization. Time is running out. Shoot them if you need, and if they have decent gear then don’t bow-spam, as it won’t do much but slow them down. Fire is your friend, as long as you can avoid it. Lay traps and place it right next to where they’re headed, or under them if they’re not moving. Knocking them back into it more than once is great, as it’ll deal extra damage and prolong the flame damage. If, for some reason, the remaining two are a team or both chasing you, then use flint n’ steel as much as necessary. Don’t use it to the point of catching yourself on fire, but slowly draw down their HP. Dodge arrows and blows, and stay on the edge of their range, where you can hurt them but they are unable to affect you. Don’t get drawn into a corner, and maintain open space where you can run away. Just kill, kill, kill, and the clock will tick until you actually kill.

Seventh Stage. The fireworks! Dance, light yourself on fire, and if you’re extremely happy, say, “Good Game!” Go have a steak, a cake, or make a flake of, uh, I ran out of words. But congratulations, you won the Survival Games! Don’t forget to give Mr. Mooclan a hug for his super-duper long Guide that he wrote between the hours of 12 and 4 AM.





And moving on, to a story that I wrote for RC_4777 a little while ago!

Black suits, and black dresses filed down a line, in solemn observance of a funeral. Or, rather, bacc suits, as today, thousands of baccas mourned their leader, Benja. Outside the dome, even more players were in cheerful hysterics, held back only by a ring of stony-faced bacca-riot guards. As the procession reached its final destination, time seemed to stop. All was still for hundreds of blocks in each direction, and people waited in tense silence. A pair of baccas stepped forwards in unison, and lowered their leader to his earthen grave. Tossing flowers and other farewell-gifts, individuals stepped forwards and bid Benja farewell. As four blocks of dirt were respectfully lowered over the coffin, the riot outside grew to an unprecedented pitch, and a mass of people broke through the ring of guards.

Sprinting forwards, they advanced in a war-formation towards the graveyard. Three men stood in the front, and the one in the center shouted, “Good evening to you, men of the bacc. Greetings from JOEYGRACEFFA, our leader. We are here to claim this land for our mighty leader, and extinguish the bacca race.” At this, the men behind him spread out like a deck of cards, armed with heavy equipment. A small group of baccas, disorganized and clumsy, approached from behind. Without a signal or leader, they tried mustering the courage to repel the invaders, but lacked coordination.

With a single will, the men stomped once on the ground, and dared the baccas to approach. However, that single shaking of the ground caused a nearby building to shake, and a dark figure fell from the top floor. He stood up, and dusted himself off. Approaching the two parties, he coughed, and said, “Hello, my dear baccas. And your tidings are indeed good ones, men of JOEYGRACEFFA. For I am Benja, the real one. And I am glad to have this chance to extinguish you, pitiful beings.”

“Hah, nonsense. You’re probably only at 1 heart from that huge fall. You should have known better than to sit in so perilous a perch. Fool, prepare yourself. You bear no arms, nor do you bring with you a set of armor. And you were just buried, if I’m not mistaken. This world has no ghosts.” The JOEYGRACEFFA spokesman chuckled. Two warriors turned towards Benja, and casually walked over, weapons in hand.

“Ah, but you see, that is where you are incorrect. That fall? Yes, you saw it. From that building behind me. You are wrong. It did not deal me 9 hearts of damage, for it did 27. But that was a mere scratch to my total health. You are the fool, and the one who just died, in my eyes at least, for you have just signed a death-warrant. Behold! The power of the real Benja, RC the Fabulous!” And with that, he dashed forwards, crossing dozens of blocks in a mere split-second.

Lunging to the right, he yanked a soldier to the ground. Taking the iron axe, he slid it across the back of the fallen man, who disintegrated into tiny particles a moment later. Continuing on to the second knight, he feinted to the left, only to dash around from the right and behead him, with apparent ease. Slowly straightening up, he had a deadly grin on his face. Dramatically walking to the army, he stretched the arm that bore the murder weapon. Steadily gaining speed with what appeared to only be a walking stride, he rapidly closed the remaining distance. In the blink of an eye, he was above everyone, and fell upon his prey with the ferocity of a lion. Whipping the gleaming weapon back and forth between newly-bloodied bodies, he cut through iron armor like it was budder. His body a blur, weapons simply couldn’t touch him. In mere seconds, he had a brand-new diamond axe pressed against the neck of the spokesman, who now laid on the ground in shock.

“W-what? H-h-how is this even possible? We.. we were so… Joey said we wouldn’t fail! He said he had confidence in us.. no! We’ve failed Joey!” He choked, unable to continue.

“Simple. You dared challenge my loyal subjects. You dared to challenge me. For that, the punishment is death.” Benja, now known as RC the Fabulous, slowly let his new weapon taste flesh. Once the foul deed was done, RC stood up, and addressed all the stunned baccas. “Hello, baccas. I am your true Benja. I have awaited the day that you would bury the impostor, Mitch. He has done a horrible thing, turning my beloved baccas into his personal army. No, he is not Benja. Long ago, he stole the title from me through treachery. I would have claimed it long ago, but you, my dear baccas, would have been hurt in the process, for he was guarded by your kind. But alas, I have returned!”



A single voice resounded through the silent graveyard, and a single bacca walked forwards to stand in front of RC. The original bacca, Jerome. “Well, well, well. What do we have here? Or rather, who? Why, I believe it’s the mighty king, Benja! Welcome back, m’lord. Three cheers for Benja!”

As one, the baccas roared their approval. Bowing, RC whispered to Jerome, “Quick, I need to know what I’ve missed. I haven’t spoken to you in too long, my good man, too long.”

Jerome responded in an equally low tone, “We may not have much time, m’lord. There’s still a giant mob outside the dome, and all they could see from there is that Joey’s men fell, while we’re still standing. Mitch ruined the baccas, he did. Turned them into a horror-story in themselves. Are you sure you’re up to the task of righting their wrongs?”

Standing, RC walked closer to the baccas, and announced, “People of the bacc! I come to you today as your new Benja! But before we can celebrate and fix whatever has gone wrong, we must first escape. I ask that you take a weapon and suit of armor from one of the people that I have slain here before you, and help get everyone suited up. You shall need all the firepower and protection that you can get. Please give elders and children the Protection IV armor, and take for yourself according to your needs. We will have to move swiftly and effectively in order to escape this confinement, and for that we need potions. I have with me a set of Swiftness potions, which I will distribute. Once we are all suited up, please approach a bacca with a potion, and right before we all move out, we’ll have the potions splashed onto ourselves. Does everyone understand?”

After hearing their confirmation, he approached Jerome again, who had just finished showing a baby-bacc how to swing an axe like a true man of the bacc. “Ho, there, Jerome. Good to see that baccas still hold axes as a sacred instrument of true power. Before we set out, I need to make sure that you know where I’ll be taking everyone.”

Jerome looked up, and slowly replied, “Wait, no. Surely, you can’t be serious.”

“I am. Very much so, in fact. I intend to take it as our own before the night is up. But I need to make sure that you know what to do while I’m gone.” RC gravely confirmed. “You know I’ve done little but wait for a good opportunity to take back the throne. This is part of it, for what is a king without a kingdom? I have two agents working an inside job. They’re loyal, but they’re not baccas. I have promised them both a life on the outskirts of the kingdom, hidden from the view of baccas. Once this is all over… but that is still a long way to go, so for now we must deal with the issues of the present. I need you to take our people, and bring them back to the farmhouse until later tonight. Once I’ve emptied the new place, I’ll send a message-pig. You can handle it - have faith in yourself, if only because I have faith in you.”

“This would be a suicide mission from anyone aside from you… Out of curiosity and concern for your safety, will you answer one thing? How did you defeat those bastards? Twenty-seven hearts? That’d kill me nearly three times over! And your speed!? I’ve never even seen Mitch stand up that fast when someone told him they had a beer for him. What in the blazes was that?”

“Oh, that? I have custom feather-falling boots, sold to me by an Administrator, altered to look like my feet. I used a diluted invisibility potion to make the blurred-appearance. No one, to my knowledge, can actually move that fast. However, I still have increased my speed insanely. I still doubt Mitch would be able to keep up with me, even in the prime of his life.” Unbeknownst to Jerome, those were sugarcoated lies. RC had, in actuality, worked tirelessly for years to hone his resistance and other skills, to a point where he took absolutely no damage from a diamond sword.

Walking away, he looked over his new comrades with a sense of pride, knowing that they would soon know the monstrosities and lies that the fake Benja had hidden behind, and that he had been able to help his beloved baccas.

He reached the stairs of the graveyard officer, and addressed the congregation. “Can I have your attention, please! I’m seeing that you all are ready, and so we will begin to distribute the splash potions. Every splash potion must be used on at least 10 baccas, as we do not have unlimited resources. As soon as you are splashed, please face the north. I will be at the front, and try to clear a path. Our dutiful bacca guards have been instructed to aid in our assistance, and will protect from the sides and rear, while I myself will defend the front. If at any time you fall behind, do not hesitate to let us know. No bacca left behind!” As the crowd separated into smaller groups, he handed out the potions, and headed north, where he found an old comrade, xTopBacca.

Surprised to see him, he called out, “Hullo, xTopBacca! What have we here? A real, live member of the original baccas? Wow, this is indeed news. I could only ask so many questions of dear Jerome, so I’m afraid I must ask you some things.”

“Why, Benja! It is so good to see you again. You’ve no idea how thoroughly Mitch trashed our kind. We’re disrespected by nearly all! You must save us, as you’re the only one who can. I trust you have taken the appropriate steps, eh?” xTopBacca smiled, and rubbed his paws together. He quickly splashed his potion on a few children, and hurried over to the front lines, where he could talk to Benja easier.

They chatted for a few brief seconds, and then RC had to shout “Advance, my baccas! To freedom, to safety, and to redemption!”

Charging forwards, RC swung his axe overhead. As they reached the line of riot guards, the guards converged on them, forming a tighter defense. Confident in his comrades, the fighter quietly disappeared. Slipping through the gaps in bodies, he twisted and turned, and soon emerged, disguised as just another player who had gotten low on hunger, and needed to return to their home for the day.

Traveling by minecart was efficient, but only if you’d already had tracks lain. His lonely journey was over rough lands and through vast mountain ranges, so he preferred his steed, Wert the Pig. Straddling the mighty beast, he soon arrived in front of a massive wooden fortress.

Protected against griefing by cleverly exploited server features, the building had done nothing but grow in the time he’d been absent. Walking in casually, he was greeted at the door by an armed, but slacking, guard. RC took careful note of the strengths and weaknesses, and who roamed where. Clearly, politics had changed, as there were many new people in the most sought-after rooms and lounges. Due to Mitch, the impostor Benja, dying, people had been drinking extra nausea potions, unaware of the Benja that was walking through their midst. He walked over to the main hall, where his soon-to-be throne would rest.

Moving over to a gloomy hallway, he pulled aside a random passerby, covering their mouth with a handkerchief that he’d lifted from an inebriated woman. Pulling out his axe, he muttered to them, “Listen here, mister. I need you to do me a favor. Do it, and you’ll be paid well. Fail, and you die within the hour. It’s very easy. Walk to the main hall, and shout ‘Benja has returned,’ and nothing else. Got it? Now go.”

The intimidated stranger, knowing very well that baccas loved axes, did as he was told, and soon a throng had gathered around him, threatening him with various punishments if he didn’t say that Benja had died. With the people distracted, RC stalked over to the hidden armory, and donned the best suit of armor they had. Preparing his axe and health potions, he walked over to the main hall, and yet remained unnoticed.

Standing on the stage, he muttered, “System announcement! ‘The True Benja has returned!’” and waited as the server followed his command. A small group of drunkards, noticing it was him who said it, walked up and uttered slurred foul oaths at him, but were too stoned to realize what was happening. A guard, noticing the commotion, walked over, and realized only too late what had taken place. RC leaped forwards, axe drawn, and let it do its work.

Finishing up in a matter of seconds, he walked out of the room, blood dripping from the blade. He made another system command, this time to teleport everyone within the building in front of him, guard and civilian alike. When people realized he’d done it, they ran towards him, fists flying and weapons flashing. But just as before, the one true Benja dashed around, hewing necks with the grace of a dancer. Glancing around, he estimated there to be something near to 46 people in the room aside from himself. He activated a custom skill, known only to himself, which he dubbed ‘The RC_4777’, which allowed him to flow from slice to slash with minimal effort, as a single movement, rather than making each blow an individual slash. Ducking, he knocked the legs of a pair of people together, causing them to fall into three others. His mind went on auto-pilot, sliding his blade along from one stance to another, as an extension of his soul. Damage potions served where sheer numbers were troublesome, and he gradually decimated the opposing force to less than ten. Looking for his two agents, he located them at the back of the room, standing in awed silence. Walking over to the last remaining foes, he quietly beheaded their stunned bodies.

Picking up items as he walked towards his agents, he said, “Hello, HalfSquirrel and Arena Master. I see you’re still in good health. You may take your leave now. You’ll find the houses prepared as we agreed, fully stocked. If you do so desire, feel free to take any items from the slain. You’ve earned all we agreed on, and more. Consider it my apology for exposing you to such a slaughter.”

After cleaning up and locking the gate, RC retired to his old chambers, untouched and unseen since his exile.
