That's where it all began for our server.
2 Minecrafters getting bored of the game. We toured around every server that interested us.
We saw things from massive Redstone Computers to players rampaging in chat.

Yet, we got bored of it. After all those adventures we pretty much saw everything of Minecraft. We needed a challenge.

Anothern friend of mine discovered the Prison Server phenomena. We joined one asn soon as we heard from it and found it an interesting concept. nUnfortunately, the admins were rather unpleasant and ruined that great nidea.

Suddenly, I had a rush of ideas flowing into my mind and nproposed them to my friend. He payed for the server and I pretty much nbuilt everything.

There we were. Flat plains, pigs wandering around, creepers exploding peacefully. An untouched world.
Like a real capitalist, we demolished all the nature immediately and placed one big, bombastic hole in the middle of the world.

Wen starting building the prison, layer by layer. With some bad luck along nthe way, but we got there. To end it, I placed some massive bedrock nwalls around it with little towers to make the wall look even more nimpressive and intimidating.

After three long weeks, the prison was finally complete.
Soon,n our players started popping up as fast as popcorn. We couldn't even nkeep up with the amount of players joining. It was a huge success.

That'sn when I discovered the curse of being an Admin. I still enjoy being an nadmin, but sometimes those dimwits would pop up and apparently never nlearned common sense. Some of them didn't even know how to make a stick.n I was only an inch away from strangling their necks. Luckily, other nplayers backed me up by joining our server staff. Leaving the trash to nthem.

Today, 2 months later we are still a thriving server. The npopulation has decreased, that's true. But we are gaining more members nevery day. I really enjoy being an admin. Most people would really get nannoyed by all the imbeciles asking for your help. I'm used to that now,n I don't mind them any more.

The life of an admin is hard, even nmore if you barely have any other admins. Fortunately it gets ncompensated by all the support you get from your community. It makes me nfeel proud of what I do.

I have the utter most respect for every nadmin out there and I'd like to hear their story as well. Feel free to npost it in the comments below!
