Damn that must've sucked. Glad you didn't get banned though, you know you probably could've just reported the griefer on chat so everyone would go angry mob on him instead :wink.gif:
God, these are all such awesome experiences. Have I had one? Not that I remember... :sad.gif:
Once when i was playing on a SMP server, i was raiding a dudes house. He had lots of stuff which i stole. Suddenly, the dude who owned the house i was raiding logged on, and spawned 4 blocks away from me! I had to run for my life/items, and he ran after me. The chase ended when i managed to sneak behind a house, because he ran past the house.
Digging out a layer of stone for cobble near bedrock, walked too hastily forward, fell into lava, full body plunge, luckily I managed to climb out and just happened to have my scaffolding water bucket on hand.
I don't really know what happened, but f*ck me it was lucky.
I was in the Nether, casually mining away at netherrack. It was calm, hard difficulty, and I thought everything would be ok.
When suddenly, the worse happened. Picture it, mining away and then the inevitable happened and a block was not under where I was mining.
I was on a collision course for the lava, 2 diamond picks, full diamond armour, I knew it was over.
I struggled in the air, wishing this was not going to be my fate.
And then, out of the blue, a Ghast appeared. I immediately thought "Oh f*ck, not this...", but it did the unexpected.
It fired it's bomb at me, and as it flew straight into my path of flight I hit it. The explosion was normal, all my armour was nearly dead, I thought this was it, everything gone.
But it wasn't. The bomb somehow propelled me over to the side, and I landed on a nearby cliff, 1/2 a heart left, no armour, pretty damn scared.
I got out of the Nether alive, and still visit regularly today. Let's just say, I'm more careful than I used to.
Ghasts I love you ;D
sorta of the same thing happened to me
i was in the nether and sudenly a ghast fired a fire ball at me and the explosion flew me towards the lava and i rthough oh gawd im dead but luckly an another ghast was there and fired 1 at me to and hit me making my course back on the netherrack and i had half a heart left and while eating my shroom stew want watching where i was walking and walked right off the cliff and fell luckly on 1 nether by it self near a cliff surounded by lava i got back by building path way and went home made another portal which is in a safer place now phew ps i link a hall way to them so use both now
I was making a pit trap(how th sand is held by torches) and a greifer hit the switch as I was making my final touches the sad I was on started falling (the pit was about 40 deep) but luckily because I had not finished yet the water didn't put the torch 13 blocks below me out a quickly fumbled for my cobble stone but all I got was sand as I threw the sand it landed on the torch thus saving my life . Luckiest moment ever

Always build complex traps in isolated areas away from major activity hubs or there is chance to be griefed and all your effort lost, also DON'T put in the trigger until it is finished and you are in a safe area, although I'm sure you know this now :smile.gif:
I made this thread so people can share their "narrow escapes". By that I mean the moments when you were an inch from respawning when you somehow survived.
My narrow escape:
I was on an SMP server. I was outside the city cutting down some wood for my home. Before I had removed a single block from a tree I heard the infamous Ssssss. I panicked and turned around and ran as fast as I could, but when I turned around I saw that instead of getting away from it I smashed straight into the creeper head-on. The creeper flashed and I pressed the froward key as hard as I could trying to put as much distance as I could between me and the creeper all the while preparing myself for the blast, it never came. When I turned around the creeper was gone apparently it had despawned before exploding, man I was lucky!
What are your stories?
On my old server, we had a mod the despawned creepers immediately before they exploded, preventing damage to the surrounding area.

He who lives in a water house should not throw sponges.
I was on a mountain nearby my house when a creeper charged up to me, I was on the cliff side and it would be to either charge it with an iron sword or fall down the cliff and die, I backed up and fell off the side of the cliff and landed in a lake that was hidden on the side. If I fell two blocks away from where I did, I would have died!
I was activating the self destruct charge to run from an angry mob, only to find that someone had made obsidian cover the door way. Luckily, I forgot to put in enough repeaters.

Chickens are spawning in my house! Help! PLEASE!
Your house has been compromised therefore you must blow it to hell.
Once in myewly spawned single player world it started thunder storming, so im like "eh, ill wait until its over to get some more wood."
When it finally ends I head outside with my axe in hand, Then i hear that infamous sound.
The First thing that popped into my head:
FFFFUUUUUUU-
I turn around and swing my axe at the creeper, he fell down a couple of blocks giving me time to run, I was panicking and make the dumbest choice, of running to my wood and wool house
(I just think wood planks and wool look good together)
And so im panicking my ass off, when i remember, Yesterday i had make an emergency room for situations like this.
I head down to my house's lower levels, and activate the secret door, I open the chest and take out my armor, Gravite Sword (Yes i use Aether), and bow.
I jump down from the roof, The creeper comes rushing at me, I swing my sword at it to send it flying into the air, then i decide to juggle it by shooting it with my bow.

I was transferring my chest contents from one temporary home to another in search of a beautiful and resource rich area of land (never found one), and night was falling while I was in transit. I ran into a spider and I was low on health, so I quickly ran backwards while hacking at it with my axe. I fell off a cliff and landed in a a 3 block pool of water, and the spider followed but landed on some dirt, therefore dying. I had 37 gold and 7 diamonds on me.

I made a lava beacon tower, and I play on peaceful. When I pass it I always stand near it just to get myself set on fire, because I like to hear the "ooh" damage sound. However, I went too close and was dying from lava. Manage to get out and jump into a pool, with half heart left :dry.gif:
Had full diamond tools and armor on
My favorite escape: I was on SMP, on a survival temp server . So I made my house, with my 3 wolves ,concealed in a mountain. I decided to remove the dirt blocks closing the entrance, and take a walk. Then, Ssssssssss BOOOOOM! I jumped back right before the boom, and I lost all but 1 heart. My entire front wall was gone. I dug up some dirt and quickly fixed up my wall. I went back in and ate some pork. I go to another guys house to say hello, and, as soon as I open the door, the guy says on the chat "OH **** LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!!!" I turn around and KABLAM! Another creeper. I somehow STILL don't die, and help my friend fix up his house. I admit, i was shaking in my chair after this. Creepers. Gotta love 'em.
These are some pretty cool stories, keep em coming forums :biggrin.gif:
@Megaloneus
It might have been a plugin, but other creepers blew up but didn't destroy the landscape cause of an anti-creeper damage plugin, but players can still get hurt. Perhaps a plugin just messed with the creeper AI causing it to despawn before sending me to the respawn screen.
God, these are all such awesome experiences. Have I had one? Not that I remember... :sad.gif:
no you place it on a block from the over world and let it flow down.
Thanks for clearing that up for me :smile.gif:

You can't place water buckets in the nether.

Long story short: DON MESS WIT MEH
