Sandbox Affair
The Sandbox Affair
The Sandbox Affair is a series of events involving 
SandboxGL3 on July 16th and 17th, 2024. After being invited to the town by 
JCobbler2012 and 
AMinecraftCow, SandboxGL3 constructed a house made completely out of iron ore, sparking discontent among the town's builders. The next day, the discontent grew, with JCobbler2012, AMinecraftCow, 
comradeaglarion urging SandboxGL3 to remove the house. SandboxGL3 proved to be problematic after he threatened to become an admin and ban comradeaglarion as revenge for killing him. After AMinecraftCow offered to build him a new house (using iron blocks donated by 
Moxieskip and JCobbler2012), SandboxGL3 reluctantly agreed and began mining. Later, 
SholQut discovered evidence of X-raying (consistent with claims made by SandboxGL3 that he mined 130 diamonds with less than 3 hours of playtime). He was subsequently banned with the reason "Cheating by using X-Ray to mine diamond ores." The new house still remains, along with his tools and some iron ore from the original house.
The following day, he appealed on Discord under the username BubbyNoLastName3. He foolishly revealed that he has another account, 
bubbynln13, that had been banned on January 3rd, 2023 for the reason, "Grief: Broke terracotta on chest and cobblestone on road." Subsequently, his appeal was denied. Later, he was even banned from the Discord.
His next action was to join on the IRC as minelover537, using the same unlikely excuses as his previous unban appeals. This appeal was quickly denied, with SholQut and 
AlphaAlex115 banning him multiple times from the IRC. After the first two IRC bans, he began spamming the chat with "unban minelover537" or simply gibberish (a foolproof unban tactic, written with the most sarcasm possible).
On July 25th, the player 
GreenDodge11 attempted to claim the house without permission by breaking and replacing a sign outside with the text: "this house is mine now -GreenDodge11." At the time, the house was vacant, but no one gave GreenDodge11 permission to break the sign or claim the house, thus making it double grief. Subsequently, 
LordOfTheShadows interrogated the user. After general ignorance and stubbornness from GreenDodge11, LordOfTheShadows delivered the banger line: "Does 0skar2, crazyappleguy7, ArioMCC, and SandboxGL3 all ring a bell?" suggesting that SandboxGL3 had ban evaded more than previously believed. Nevertheless, GreenDodge11 was banned, with the reason "Broke sign to claim ownership of AMinecraftCow's House in WatchTown."
Nearly immediately after, 
Greendodge11 joined the IRC as "diamond526." Here, he asked for bubbynln13 to be unbanned, confirming the theory that he is SandboxGL3. He also claimed he fly-hacked to get to WatchTown, that he will be back and ban evade a fifth time, and that he will "make MCO history."
