Post by: 360OLLIE on January 22, 2013, 01:00:55 am
Here ya go. I seem to be getting luckier and luckier by day in Opticraft. From getting 133 slimeballs by venturing into a swamp to obtaining 4 ghast tears from a ghast using my sword while almost falling 100 blocks into lava. I want to hear some of your stories of Lucky/Unlucky experiences and we can hold a contest. You say what your experience was and I'll keep updates on who is winning.
[Contest ends on February 16th, 8:00 PM EST (GMT-5).]
[Winner is awarded $2k ingame.]
[Be as descriptive as possible.]

GO! Good luck! ;)

Well, I was mining under my old shop.  Inventory full of ores and stuff.  I was near lava, too close.  All of the sudden all of my pets spawn there and 3-4 cats perished in the lava.  Attempting to move the pets away from the lava, I ran away from the lava pool.   As I was running I fell in a hole that had lava at the bottom.  Strange to say, I was "standing" on the lava without taking fire damage.  I looked closer and it turned out I was barely standing on some stone next to the lava.  I was very lucky that day.

When I was a new player, I managed to get 4 stacks of bonemeal when a player did a huge drop.

Back when pumpkins were in the market still, someone let me use their farm. Lots of money from that one.

I fell in the nether while holding 3 enchanted tools/weapons, and I had all diamond armour, and my bow was also enchanted. I fell, and when I landed I had 1/2 of a heart left.

Lava, I fell down almost hit the lava with half a heart left.

The most un-lucky (Off topic I know) : I lent my "friend" my silk touch and he fell in lava and burnt it... Hes perma banned (not for that though)

I agree with Slime too! So far, I think tiggy is winning.
I appreciate that you guys thought of doing unlucky times too. One unlucky time was when I was detailing the land in my village while two guys I had sold a plot to were building their home. I was in a desert, I was digging sand blocks really fast. I destroyed a block of sandstone and moved forward. At the last second, I realized that there was a big 1x1 block tunnel right below that sandstone but it was too late. I fall in and my record of not FRIGGIN DIEING FOR LIKE 3 MONTHS GOSH DIGITY DANGIT ENDS! Good thing I didn't have any valuable stuff on me. 
Keep up the lucky times! ;D
[P.S. Those guys who I sold the plot to got banned within 8 hours of me selling it to them because they griefed natwaterfire's home most likely to make their place look nice.

Was foolin around at a buddys high dive about 75 blocks up. It was this sketchy platform way up on a tree. I jumped off aiming for a 3 by 3 pool on the roof of the house but i went wide and splattered my stuff all over the house and the surrounding area. as this was on the member world and my house was on the guest world, it was a pretty grim situation. But luckily when i arrived one of the people at the pool had picked up all my stuff scattered around the yard and gave it back to me. thanks for not takin my stuff bro!   :D

When I was still trusted I called alicia in because someone was griefing a friends house by placing blocks on it and she banned me instead because I was destroying the blocks the griefer was placing. I made a appeal and it was locked within 5min of me posting it because alicia realized the mistake. Just goes to show. People call a mod for greif. Don't fix it yourself.  :)

Note this was when I was still playing on the hutchinske account.

i was mining once and found a huge deposit of ore, it held like 2 dia veins, 3 iron and 2 gold, some coal and loads of redstone (no lapis =/) after i mined all that stuff with my fortune pix i mined further and ended up in a cave. while i was exploring the cave, a skelly shot me into a lava lake, i did /home instantly and died at my /home becuz i only had 1/2 heart left and was on fire, all the stuff i mined was saved.  :)

I got moderator. I lost it. XD

No, actually what happened was I was at a drop party, and right when I was typing /home because I got bored, I heard a million pistons go off and a bunch of people died while I only took two hearts of damage at my house. I couldn't believe my luck.

If you want a real life example, I was playing baseball. I play catcher position, the dude with all that gear behind the plate. The ball got hit hella hard out in left field, and my best friend on the team was playing shortstop. He got the ball from the fielder, threw the ball almost across the entire damn field, and it hit the plate in front of me. I started running UP the backstop, got the ball in midair and threw it to the pitcher at the home plate and he tagged out the runner to stop him from getting a home run. Well I don't know if that's actually luck, more skill since I did that all in my catcher gear :P

I felt so epic doing that.

Ok! Most unlucky and scary thing ever!  :-[

CookieMaster9 and I were exploring the griefed ruins of the old guest world. OMG, so ugly and cool at the same time! He was probably joking but he thought he saw a steve skin. ABSOLUTELY noone lives there. The area has been abandoned and left to sit for years. We head onto the open sea right next to the coastline. We are joking around that the slenderbrine lives here in the area. All of the sudden, he says "WTF" in local. I go "What?" So I was actually swimming right next to my boat trying to get in it. It's like pushing me and it's like glitching out. He says "WTF," I say "What." Then some bs happens. As I'm glitching with the boat, I INSTANTLY DIE! ARE FRIGGN KIDDING?! DAMN YOU NOTCH! It says that I hit the ground to hard! How did that happen!? Good thing, he teleported me back so I could get my gear.
Note to self: The Slenderbrine is watching.

I was put in left field for some reason (i'm not sure why). The ball was hit in front of me. I ran to the ball and I tried to dive for it. I went for the dive I caught the ball And while i landed i flipped threw the ball to first and got 2 outs ending and winning the game. :D

New Super Unlucky/Lucky Experience!

I was is the Nether, there was a ghast close to the ground, I had my looting 3 sword so I was trying to get some ghast tears. I jump off a little hill, I forgot that there was a ravine leading down to a sea of lava there right next to where I jumped. I fall in the ravine about like 50-80 blocks. I die, I land RIGHT NEXT TO LAVA! I come back to find that none of the valuable stuff on me had burned. If I actually fell in, wow, I would of lost like $15000 in gear!  8)

This happened when I was trusted.

Well after I had enchanted all my armor and stuff, curtisy to zeradeth and girlluvzermac.  So it was an ender man farm, so I had quite a few ender pearls to waste, so I went to the nether, and I there was a ghast so I accidentally threw an ender peak at it since it was in my hot bar.  So I got teleported into lava, but my armor was like fire protection 4 and I was taking like no damage.  So I was safe, but it gave me a heart attack.  This also happened when I when I fell like a tone load of blocks, but took little damage because of feather falling 4.

most lucky experience
I was wandering around in the nether and found an eff 3 fort 3 unbreak 3 pick, enchanted diamond gear and a smite IV sord, got hit by a pack of pigmen, survived with a half a heart, then got attacked by one more...until a friend of mine came running out of nowhere and killed the pig (i didn't know he was on, let alone in the nether). I looked down and I was about an inch from a long fall into lava.

most unlucky experience
died 5 times from a pack of pigmen near a blaze spawner trying to get it... killed the pack and...someone else had taken my enchanted sord and my gear, and put a ps around the spawner. then i wandered around and lost 5 ps's and enchanted gear by falling into lava

This is an unlucky and lucky experience.

I was mining underground in the new guest world.I finished mining with lots of ores in my inventory.As I made my way back up, I got lost and ran into a dungeon.I destroyed the spawner (it was too close to ground to make an xp farm) I then looked into the double chest and found cocoa beans, iron, a saddle and redstone like normal.There also was the music disk cat (which was what I wanted) and 2 enchanted books, one with silk touch and one with fire protection.I ended up into another one with 2 more books one with silk touch and one with protection. when i got home, I was too lazy to put the goodies in a chest, so i kept them with me.The next day, I was in the end and was about to die.I quickly typed /home, got home but died because I hit the ground.I respawned, went home and got only half of my things(this includes only 2 books). I was SUPER sad and went outside my store.I then saw all my things outside.I collected it all then saw that I lost the enchantment on my books. :(At least I still had my 2 silk touch books.

That is just a win Eileen! So far, I don't know if demonic's experience can even happen at all considering how boss it was. He is in the lead right now. I'll make the VERY END of this contest tonight at 8:00 pm EST (GMT-5)

The contest is over. We have 2 finalists but I now realize who should win. Demonic2012 wins because his experience was just pure luck, nothing else. He finds random high-levels enchanted gear lying in the nether, almost gets killed by a pack of pigmen, another pigman rushes in, friends rushes in and kills the pig, demonic doesn't even know that the friend in online.

I know I said WoodenSlime may get it but I look back and think no. He said that he found a double blaze spawner, killed the ender dragon, and earnt $100k in just one day. Only one of those things are luck. Finding a blaze spawner in the nether. That's just a epic and lucky win. But killing the ender dragon, SKILL right there. How do you get lucky there? Then earning $100k all in one day. That means you are quite the skillful business man, finding that oppurtunity to sell all that.

So, I will award demonic in-game $2k. I would like to thank all for joining in and making me laugh or cry due to your experiences.  ;D
