So this is kind of a backstory and a series of events, but this is more a story of a dark room and how it came to be, than it is about any 1 single encounter.
A few months back i had been playing on a relatively low pop server that was increasing in popularity by the day. There had not been a wipe here for quite some time and as a result i had more Low Quality Metal than you could shake a stick at.
I hadn't put a lot of thought in to my first base (ever) and as a result i had accidentally placed some walls too close together, meaning that i couldn't put a ceiling around the outer edges of my base, and having this small walled walk way around the outside of my base seemed to attract a lot of people to jump in there, and occasionally people would jump in without the resources or explosive to get themselves out, which gave me a great idea for my next base and the opportunity to jump in to the most disturbing roleplay i have ever undertaken.
So i went about designing my metal base, put a good amount of thought in to it and came up with a house that had 2 player traps in it (only 1 was intentional), the first of which was quiet simple, on the roof of my house there was an open ceiling space, i intended it to look like i had plans to extend the base but didn't have the materials so under the open space i placed some workbenches and boxes (completely empty) this level of my base was not connected to any other part of my base, blowing the walls or the doors would only lead you back out. The second was actually a design flaw that worked to my advantage, i had built in to the side of a rock face and as a result a gap was left in in the corner of a room, the angle of the rock meant that you could fall in, but building out was impossible. However, i had no idea this gap existed.
Until...
One fine day i am strolling through my recently build "secure" base blissfully unaware of the hole in my roof when i opened a door to pass through the room and to my surprise there was a man standing there, who proceeded peel my face back with a shotgun blast. I assumed i had left the front door open as i had heard no explosive go off and after a few minutes of silence i decided i would venture out in to the section of the house i encountered the bandit in again. This time armed with a pistol i was feeling a little more brave but i had only 1 intention, to dart through the room and close my front door! there were 2 rooms in between the room i had encountered the bandit in and my front door, as i ran through the first i found the man was still inside and followed me in to the next room, where, in my panicked state i clicked madly at my front door and actually opened it, and after killing me again for good measure the bandit waltzed on out.
And so i assumed the saga was over, i respawned walked back through my now empty house and closed the front door, not giving too much thought as to how the bandit got in. However 20 minutes or so later, after gathering some friends (nakeds) who had just started on this server in to my house and leaving them in my front "lobby" the attacker was back, this time my naked friends saw how he had slipped through the crack in the roofing and once again become stuck. They explained to me what had happened and suddenly i realized the tables had turned on the would be bandit.
After killing all the nakeds and i can only assume having a good search for a way out a voice came over voice chat "let me out of here, and no one else gets hurt", i had a chuckle to myself and replied to my unwelcome guest "So, are you enjoying the guest room? I Hope you're comfortable, you might be in there a while!", to which he answered "I don't care, i got 43 food" and i could only respond to that with "Well then your in for a long stay, i might need to ask for rent."
Delighted with how things had turned out i waited for the bandit to commit suicide and return all my lost gear. But it still wasn't over, perhaps it was for this man, but when i realized i had to seal this room off from the main part of my house i decided to place a few large storage creates inside so that others might be enticed in, only this time there would be a metal wall between us. And this changed me in a profound way, i suddenly found myself WANTING people to find my base, so that i could slip in to my buffalo bill costume and stand atop the rocks surrounding my house and terrorize any unfortunate by passers who had been lured in to my dungeon with the phrase "IT PUTS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!!"
These events gave me far more pleasure than i would like to admit.
This went on for a while until basically the whole server learned of this room and not to jump in there. But the funny thing was the first guy who got stuck in there had gotten somewhat attached to this room aswell, affectionately claiming it as his own, so when a victim with no mic had become stuck in this room and i had finished giving them my usual rev up they would type in world chat "LET ME OUT", and my first ever house guest would ask "Someone stuck in my room again? :D".
That is awesome! What a sweet idea!
