Wanted: Machine elves who steal chests during server crashes

Postby Trafalgar » Fri Jun 12, 2009 7:11 pm

Be on the lookout for machine elves who steal chests containing valuables during server chests. I just lost 3 out of my 4 chests while I was attempting to move my belongings to a new site, due to a server crash occuring during the move. I was 70% of the way to the new site when the machine elves crashed the server and stole my chests. When the server came back up, the cart and the one remaining chest was back at my original home, and the remaining was sitting outside, near the cart. (The other chests would have been inside my log cabin or in the cart, presumably, at the time, except they were nowhere to be found)

I also ran the entire length of the road to see if there was any trace of the cart or chests on it, or a duplicate of them (before I realized they might be back at my place).

This is what I lost (I had said the number of seeds I was bringing on IRC, and had logs - the rest I remembered):

  • 32 carrots (I have 4 carrots left - not plants, already pulled up carrots. It's enough to start a new crop, though)
  • 18 tea seeds (but I have tea plants left that I can pull up, although I have no chests to put them in)
  • 18 wheat seeds (but I have wheat plants left that I can pull up, although I have no chests to put them in)
  • Four buckets, two filled with milk, one with a liter or so of honey in it
  • four plant fiber
  • four bones
  • 2 boar helmets
  • 5 leather armor
  • 5 leather legs
  • 1 leather coat
  • A boar tusk
  • A pair of antlers

The leather armor I don't really care about - I had ridiculous quantities of leather and will likely have them again in the future. The real painful part is the loss of the three chests themselves - I can't easily replace those, and without them, I'll have to use straw baskets to bring seeds instead. Although, I guess they'll actually fit, since I won't have any buckets or leather stuff to bring along...

The elves are hiding in Jorb's beard.

Oh COME ON!

Now it ate my newly planted farms, ate my last chest, the baskets the seeds for those farms were in, ate those seeds, ate my last 4 carrots, and ate my sausage maker! :(
