Someday down the line we’re gonna have to make decisions that someday is usually today probably in a few hours or a few minutes you’re going to have to make decisions in life often decisions involving trust who to trust trust in your family your siblings trust in government trust in santa whatever and People you don’t know can you probably in your life you’re going to find yourself passionately inspired to work on something because you desperately want it to exist in the real world if you make it accessible to the public or make it a team project you risk losing Some of it or all of it there are people who instead of celebrating your success or appreciating the love care and time you put into something we’ll smash it to smithereens and i don’t know why i want to celebrate your success i want to see you commit to a multi-generational Project and preserve it throughout the ages as a timeless piece of human achievement and innovation it’s a part of our history but the baser impulses tending towards chaos can have a greater influence on us that primal urge to throw a rock through a window and there are people who succumb to these feelings Regardless of the context no matter the situation we’re building the earth one to one scale in minecraft and yes build the earth got griefed but before i get into the story of it i just want to say that these aren’t bad or evil people in most of these cases it was either a Misunderstanding sometimes it was out of fear sometimes it was a joke at the wrong time and sometimes yeah pretty much straight up evil also let me just say that this project is amazing and i feel blessed to be a part of it many of the things i’m about to tell you might Shock or alarm you but i want to be 100 transparent with you no while this may seem like a litany of disasters just know that this is half a dozen incidences in a project with over 70 teams and hundreds thousands tens of thousands of buildings more over 99 of Which remain safe which means if you want to join our project you have nothing to fear of it being lost most of these isolated incidents were in the beginning of the project when we were still getting organized got it great now let’s sort something out first because someone destroyed an entire continent And in order to understand how that’s possible there’s a misconception to clear up first the build it one to one series where we do all the different locations each month that’s my team but it’s just one team and 70 plus teams that make up build the earth most teams Are in charge of one area permanently as opposed to our team who jumps around and if you’ve been paying attention you may have noticed that we no longer blow up our maps with copious amounts of tnt for fun at the end of each journey this is because people got carried away Sometimes we would forget to back up the world in the case of monaco i thought i had zipped the world file but it was a world file of a different older event but i still told people i wasn’t entirely sure if i had backed up monaco So no using tnt please well they didn’t listen and couldn’t control themselves we rebuilt the damage and banned the most involved builders who took it pretty hard these days tnt is completely disabled on the server now let’s talk about american air no not the airline one of our builders this guy griefed to Church by filling it with water thinking that the undo would undo all the damage the water caused not understanding that flowing water and source water blocks are two different things anyways that’s not the story this guy comes from new jersey who according to him had the Spawn that looked bad this guy is a big fan of speed no not the drug but who knows the movie and if you weren’t of a conscious age by 1994 you probably haven’t heard of it the idea is there’s a bomb on a bus and it explodes if the Bus goes under 50 miles per hour or 55 i can’t remember i was really young so american decides to impersonate the terrorist on the new jersey server plants a bomb under spawn and threatens to blow it up if his demands weren’t met something about some quiet builder Joining the event going on at the time they didn’t so he used the terrorist catch phrase from the movie pop quiz hotshot and activated the bomb he sent me this story himself he also added something at the end here don’t make me seem like some bte terrorist There’s also been some errors in new terra plus plus versions that have a reset of a world file car bombs built to blow up in streets causing damage to buildings and people treating build the earth like an actual simulation of real life replicating historical events in the real world there’s even been Individuals so toxic that they attempt to destroy everything they see as soon as they get on a smaller server then once you ban them they continue to come back again and again doing damage to minecraft servers and discords with spambots alike there’s been team leaders so salty about losing when an election Is held to elect a new team owner that instead of giving up their position they do damage and by damage i mean delete the entire state but it gets bigger one of the team owners of one of the entire countries of europe decided one day that He was bored so the best way to quit was instead of giving the country’s world files was just to delete them some time later he shows up in the server’s discord’s announcement channel not to apologize but to link the whole discord who knew what he had done to his twitch Channel he was live with the camera pointed at him sitting on a couch with three girls utterly bizarre after they deleted the post and announcements the guy proceeded to spam ping the entire discord spamming the link repeatedly and since he owned the discord there was nothing they could do so they were Forced to create a new discord for the team but not before committing one final noble act of kicking everyone from his discord since they still had mod powers so that none of the team had to be subjected to this owner gone off the deep end they’ve been rebuilding ever Since but it gets bigger if you could guess what continent i’m about to mention what would it be if you guessed africa you’d be correct africa started innocently with one of my favorite original builders rafa who decided since we didn’t have any native african teams it would be awesome to start for them Until they got here it was mostly for the meme not a super serious group except kind of look at some of this stuff they built it makes sense most builders being preoccupied with their hometown or country might not be hardcore enough to just jump over to another continent and start building There for fun but these guys were one of them was named let’s just call him lampa he built a lot in south africa johannesburg and was one of the founders of bte africa by the time scott the current leader had joined lampo was still paying for the server but was much Less active then he was really inactive only saying hi once every three weeks then at the beginning of july he told scott that he’s joining the military and he couldn’t pay for the server anymore when scott messaged him telling him he was ready to make the transfer happen he Didn’t get a response then some time later lampa randomly messaged swan owenson another member of africa that they had four days to pay for it or he would kill it that night hours later he killed the server by totally cancelling the server without making any backups or Telling anyone it was at this point that i became involved i told rafa the original owner then everyone got involved the server host luckily held on to the data scheduled for deletion for a month so it was possible to get everything back we just needed the login Information so we told lampa about this everyone messaged him offering him money and time to get this off his hands he wouldn’t respond to anyone now a lot of you may have noticed that i’ve omitted names for almost all these stories that’s because as you can tell some of These people crave attention and it’s best not to give them it that certainly doesn’t apply here this guy left all the build the earth discords defriended everyone removed his profile picture and renamed his discord to a collection of random numbers and disappeared africa was gone forever and since lampa Has obviously abandoned this persona and probably reappeared on the internet at some point with a new identity no one will ever know that he did this there will be no consequences if you end up watching this video lampa i don’t hate you for what happened i don’t think You’re a bad guy i don’t think this was deliberate i just think that you are scared and i wish more than anything that you would have listened to us when we said it’s not too late and that we could have talked you out of this what’s Done is done and i wish you no ill will and i hope that you have good fortune in your life wherever you end up next but it’s not the end even after a devastating forest fire lies an opportunity for regrowth and rebirth africa is still a fertile opportunity And has some of the most beautiful nature and unique human architecture in the world and it deserves another breath of life so i’m announcing right here that we join with team africa and make the most amazing impactful building event that signifies a new beginning a new beginning for progress in africa to Restore the spirit of pride and life and a team trying to stay strong who needs a little help right now so we are going to build africa one to one scale just as it stands today the incredible tundra the wide stretching planes the new growth of metropolises and african urban culture We’re excited for all of it to recreate it even better than it was before and to remind everyone that build the earth isn’t just a movement it’s a lifestyle an identity a set of beliefs the belief that we can move mountains and build them one-to-one scale in minecraft the event Is scheduled to come soon stay tuned and if you want to see how it all pans out be sure to subscribe thanks for watching and i’ll see you in the next one You Video Information
