Biftec's Bitch

The FoolHouse community has been around for nearly a year. The new competition really made me take a step back and think about all the memories I have made from such a simple community made up of guys and girls who just enjoy playing video games together. Anyways, the point of this topic is to ask a simple question, "What are your most memorable FoolHouse experiences?" I think there might have been a topic similar to this on the old forums, but I'm going to post this anyway because I'm curious to see what your best memories are. If you can't think of any moments, look through some of Fool's old videos as they may spark a thought. The point of this topic isn't to bring out the bad experiences we have encountered with members, it is meant to enlighten the great memories that we have shoved into the back of our heads and forgotten.Your memories don't have to be about Minecraft, they can be about anything to do with the community. It would be best if this topic was filled with peoples memories, and not posts like "Oh my god Lobes, I remember when that happened". If you agree with someone and shared a memory with them, you can always "like" their post. Now for my own Favorite FoolHouse Memories: -Watching Fools' video showcasing World 3. That's when i realized how much i really wanted to be on the world. In this particular video, Fools walked around the commons and did a special showcase of Biftec's house and Shadow's pyramid. It was funny reading through the comments today, seeing John Pavelow and Jonk asking how they could possibly get access to this amazing server. -My server access video entry. After this competition was over, I was looking through the forums to see who made it in. Frustrated, I went back to the home page and looked at the announcement board. The newest one had all the names of the people who won, and i read through all the names. My heart sunk, then it got to the last name which read "and Lobes". I got so excited I almost broke my fan when i jumped up. -My first night playing on the server. I remember this occasion like it was yesterday. I logged in with my Ash Ketchum skin and was greeting to 20 people saying "Welcome to the server Lobes!". Fantom promptly gave myself and the other new members (Mhart, Rocky, Boondock, and DoomofAnubis) a tour of the brand new city commons. This was also the first time i was a victim of Shadow's trap, as I drowned in the jailhouse (At least they spawned me a cookie for it).I think this was in April or May of 2011. -The best laugh. I don't think i have ever laughed more than the night when Navyguy logged on to Teamspeak and drunkenly told us things i should not repeat. I remember I was working on the Museum Competition when I had to stop what I was doing just so I could breathe. - The Religious Building Comp. This was the only competition I have won so far on the server. Pretty self-explanatory. - Any Saturday night when Fools was streaming our Spleef Tournaments. These were always a good time even though nobody ever beat Fantom. What are you waiting for? Post your favorite FoolHouse memories! Edited by Lobes, Dec 6 2011, 10:24 PM.

Nice thread, very nostalgic. I hope that after the new year, when some of the new games have worn down a bit, things can pick back up and we can work on something epic again. ![]() My first moment, probably my most epic still, was on World 1. I was so enamored with the game, but hadn't fully realized what it could be. We had our first few people on the server. Ethan, RBwest, Biftec, Lynfa, Fireswordme, KennyJo, and a bunch of others. We didn't have an application process, I actually asked a few of my die hard sub (100 or so back then lol) if they wanted to play. At any rate, we had a common building, but real structure. Everyone had gone off and done their own projects, but we were all within eyesight of at least one other person. I had no real clue who any of the guys were, I knew RBwest was a little older, close to my age, and Bif was over 21. Kenny was from Euroville, aside from that we were pretty much strangers. Nightly we'd just bullshit, share tips, get to know each other. Rb had this huge square tower, and I had sort of ignored it. Rb is quiet and was content to do his own thing. In the distance, it was just sort of square and I had no clue what it was. Finally we all started sharing our buildings, and someone had asked him what it was. He very reluctantly let us walk through, the entire time assuring it was "a work in progress" and "not finished".. He had signs up, giving it such an ambiance. Brody Tower, forever known as the jump tower lol. You'd climb to the top, and plummet to the very bottom. I giggled like a schoolgirl the entire way down. It was that evening that I sort of realized we had something amazing going on, especially after Biftec showed us his Graveyard. The community agreed. Lynfa's ship, Bifs monorail, just over time more and more shit popped up, and the fans loved it. I said I would let more people on, and boy did I not think that through. I was getting 5-10 requests a day via YouTube "can i haz access, I no griefz" type messages. I knew quickly I'd need standards, I just couldn't keep up. I felt I had to tour each person myself. That first week, and subsequently the destroying of that world (giant zombies wtf!! LOL) was so epic. After that, my mind is peppered with memories. Playing with Biftec in the middle of nowhere, testing out Ion Cannon.. and the subsequent world restart when the command /ioncannon 9 destroyed the world by crashing the server lol. Didn't do backups back then, had no clue if you lost power you lost the map. The first video compettion, amazed me that these awesome people shared themselves, and honestly tried to get on. Most of them are here to this day. Getting cock-raped by Fantom and company while vidding. Busting iijubio, twice. Recording it like gangbusters! All the competitions stick in my head, the setup, and the worry that they would fucking suck nut in the end lol. Shadows fucking pyramid of frustration. Getting drunk, telling my stories/jokes (6 foot long and black).. Sassy being not amused at my antics. Too many to list, I could sit here for hours. |

Imma post more, nostalgia ftw. First video comp, I remember leaning over to Sassy and saying we needed to let Shadow on because he was a Brit, loved the accent. Almost let him on without judging lol. He set a precedence, and I've let almost all Brits on, only one has been banned so far. That first vid comp, thought it was such a cool idea... until i realized I was going to really upset like 7-8 people. Then it sucked. Each person later who got to judge went through the same process. Every comp went from "vote for 2" to.. "fools... i have like 6-7, couldn't choose.." lol Trivia nights. Rbwest was the only one who'd get my stuff, until I started allowing people to google answers. Used to give out diamonds like candy back then. World 2? 3?.. Lynfa and JBK all quiet (and they did this twice).. finally someone would stumble upon their epic creations. Full boatyard in one world, and the hidden snow kingdom in the other. Amazing stuff that they didn't share right away. Lynfa was pro with her first casino. Strip club, so epic. Cullen.. I remember him getting on. It's so funny some of the impressions that I had. I thought he was really young, and sort of annoying (no offense, you're so pro now bro!), but i really hated FMJ, he was such a fuckwad, so when FMJ started bashing cullen I got him on in an instant, turns out he was way older than I thought and a super-awesome guy. Go cart racing, spleefing, epic monorails. So much awesome things on this server, and the people/friendships are even better. Jonk/Stubz, stll can't tell you two apart when you talk. I can tell Beer, only because his accent is so thick I can barely understand him lol ![]() Navyguy, and his.. story.. that shall not be repeated. OMG. Cheaters, all the cheaters who were so stupid and easy to catch. The April Fools joke, i think I made a few in the community cry.. For those who weren't online then, let me reiterate what happened. First, it's no surprise that I'm not a huge fan of pranks. The guys on the server, with Sassy's assistance, thought it'd be fun to unleash ghasts and just tear the place apart (world 4 I believe). Sassy forewarned me a bit, I could just tell by looking at her she was in on it. I decided to reverse shit. I logged on and went into complete swearing/meltdown mode. Started just freaking the fuck out, yelling.. and then got silent. I said fuck it, I'm so sick of this shit. Logged off, turned off the server. Went to the forums and did a mean post about how you all were fucktards, didn't respect me, and I was done with the server. I let it sit for about an hour or two.. and holy fuck I have never seen so many people on the forums at once. Sassy and My inbox started filling up. Brought it back up later and did a big "gotcha!" don't fuck with me, I always win ![]() All the times I fucked up, doing admin stuff. Looking at it later and thinking "damn, I could have handled that a LOT better".. then doing something even worse next time *sigh* there is no guide book for how to run a community lol. |

Nearly skipped my first day of work experience to play, ended up playing 6 hours straight when i got home.The museum Comp - Shadow, Rocky and I put so much effort into this, so much fun to build and construct, winning was a bonus ![]() All the Trivia nights - Typing ''Breath'' 2 seconds after Fools typed ''For 2k...'' ![]() The Movie Night - When there were loads of us in TS, all of us were watching Pervert and other bad films, i stuck it out with ThanksKilling 'til 5am, i was awake to hear my dad go to work lmao The Night in Chat Roulette - Me, Jonk, Bandit, and a bunch of others all in TS were trying to find eachother on chat roulette, Bandit found Jonk too! .... 'Til he skipped him after 2seconds >_> lol Drunk chat's - All the times Fools/Navy have been drunk and rambled about random shit! All aboard the banter bus! Becoming a moderator - Proud to say im trusted enough for this title!Spleef - Damn you Fantom! I remember i would always turn my minecraft graphics down to the lowest they could be to get maximum FPS hehe XD The Stakeout - When noobdude (lol, i still get kicks out of his name) and richardfucci were stealing from IA, and we staked them out for hours, sneaking into their houses when they went to get mine and stuff, hilarious times! Ferg's dad working at McD's - ''He's selling the Big Mac'' I think it was me, Ferg, Bandit and Fantom in TS (sorry if you were there, i can't remember lol) but we all set off laughing, oh my days we tormented Ferg for weeks ![]() Friends - So happy to say iv met you guys, gaming wouldn't be the same without you's ![]() My brain is fuzzy right now, so if i remember any more i will add them <3

For me, the whole process of what led me to get on the server is what's most memorable. A little background on where my gaming involvement was when I first got on the server: for many years prior, I'd played some Wii games, periodic handheld games, with a lack of involvement in online gaming/PC gaming (I'd been busy for quite a few years, without a lot of time to game like I would have wanted). Anyway, I have some fascination with numbers, and had always kept an eye on Vgchartz.com to track sales numbers, periodically perusing the message boards as well. It was on that site where Kage posted a link to one of his videos of Minecraft, and I checked it out. The creativity really seemed cool, and through Kage's discussion of Fools in his videos ("Screw it, I'm just gonna run in this cave outta control like Fools does!"), I started to check out Fools videos as well. A few weeks into this pattern, Fools posted a video with Kaden commentating, where I remember being amused and impressed at the ability of a (I think) 4 year old Kaden to play Minecraft, and specifically remember him running/screaming as he got back into the house as he ran from a mob. I found Kaden's Let's Play awesome enough that I decided to post a comment about how I liked it, and made comments about how I had a son the same age. A few comments back and forth, and I got invited onto the "new server" by Fools out of the blue. At the time, I'd only played single player world for a couple weeks, and felt a little intimidated to be on the server with all the veterans (it's all relative, eh?). Anyway, I was tempted enough, that I finally jumped on the server, and vividly remember the feel: Spawning right next to the walkway, with signs lining the left edge every 10 or so blocks, carefully (with threats already!) describing the rules of the server. To the right, a big water area, where I'd eventually build my tower behind. Also, just the welcoming atmosphere of it all, seeing the controlled chaos of everyone helping me out, showing me where the community mine was, everyone offering up tools to get started. In general, it was just kinda a "magical" feel, because right from the start there was a community vibe. Also seeing Sassy running around busy as could be, with it taking me a day or so to make the connection that she was Fools sugar momma! It became so much fun to get on the server and experience all the changes that went on while I was off, loving to walk around and just check out all the cool new things everyone built. Also, wanted to build something to be proud of became a goal, and so I went quietly to work building a tower. One of my cool memories with that, is shortly after Fools noticed the tower to a greater degree, he actually helped me resurface it (I initially just used cobble) with smoothstone, and thought that was a damn cool thing to do. Bottom line, is the whole feel of the server was (and is) so friendly, which has always been its strength. Some other early server memories the stand out: Sassy and her tree pathway connecting to their glass lava lamp (always gettin creeped!), Biftec building his lava oasis (and getting to know him better on teamspeak the day where he showed me the oasis), DjDuane and his secret lair, and his awesome jumping skills, Fools and his Sassy Cake for her birthday, the clocktower, the final epic destruction of the server with monster sized ghasts and all! That first server world really set the tone for what was to come, and as we added more and more people, the way things transitioned into a real community, with message boards, drama, and it all has been a really cool thing see. |

God how I could I forget Kenny's place. That guy was so secretive, we all kept asking to see what's up. Finally he lets us in, his entrance was hidden, you'd never have found it. Inside, and i think it's all on an early video, we were speechless. At that point all of us had worked hard on architecture, no one had done much or considered interior detail. Kenny had a goddamn tv, chairs, tables.. he almost singlehandedly started those trends, at least from what I've seen on our server. There was a noticeable shift, soon after we started doing more detail, and on the second world, the Venitian (may it RIP), we started seeing the talent level shoot up. Second world was when we themed, had nice lights/paths, everyone had a TV then lol. It just got crazy from there. |

Wow, some great moments there, some i remember and some i lived through fool's videos. Unlike many, I found fool's videos doing a random minecraft search on youtube, not through kage, who through him many of you found fools. Anyway, it was a thursday night i believe, and I had been a member of the forums for a few weeks, just lurking, never posting, and i saw a thread made by fools, for a random competition on facebook for access. Me thinking "this could be my chance" I posted... Then same night took up the courage to create an application on the forums. Almost was let on instantly, I think it was a few hours after posting, and found out I won the facebook comp too. So had to let fools know i was the same guy. First week on the server, i played none stop... 12 hour days easily, just getting to know people. Met jonk on there, and we just got talking alot. He helped me with my spleef arena, was working on it on my own at the time... (oh i miss that spleef arena), he offered his help, and we worked on it for over a week. Was epic. Some of the other memorable nights was my first experience of the Master Craft Live, was epic... The Brits plan on taking over the server,... Never really happened. lol... Navyguy's story, wasnt there, but was day after... lol... Navyguy's, jonks, and my aircraft carrier... When Shadow and Fantom, threatened to ban me from the server, becasue fireswordme killed fantom, lol... I shit myself. Mine and jonks strip club... Thats to name a few ... Great times, and hopefully after the new games have worn off, and we get a new world, there can be many more...

More memories.. The first livestream, fuck I can't recall who both got on.. One was Deb, and someone else? Cullen? Anwyay, I told them, in the stream, to message me on YouTube with their username for Minecraft and I'd whitelist them. I had overlooked the fact I didn't know Cullen's YouTube name, but I did know Deb's. Naturally within 10 seconds some smart thinking scammer hits me on YT telling me his name. It wasn't Deb, but I figured we'd fuck with him. Told him he was whitelisted and to come aboard, gratz! He logs in with the entire server lined up pointing bows at him, we unleash, he dies, and gets insta-banned. Yay for fucktards! ![]() Personally I always get joy when letting someone on the server. Watching them log in for the first time and the amazement/awe they show. Alternately making someone a moderator is always fun. Lynfa/Kenny/Bif/Rbwest were the first mods, and I just bumped them up one day, never asked them first lol. That's been an ongoing tradition. No one gets to apply, and frankly if someone *wants* to be a mod chances are they won't be a good one. That's something I learned years ago from a wise old gamer. He told me to run a clan on our old community, and I said I'd be horrid, I didn't want to be a clan leader. He said that was the reason I should do it. Those who want to be in charge rarely should. Hence, why random people get made into mods. ![]() But I digress.. One of my favorite memories, or just experiences, is watching so many of you guys mature within the community. Fantom is my favorite example, kid was so close to being banned, I really didn't care for him at first (sorry bud lol ) After chewing his ass out once, he totally did a 180 and became not only a mod, but someone I came to for advice .. being 20 years his senior.. odd for sure!You guys make me proud is all I'm saying. Thanks for the memories. |
