Welp... I accidentally set fire to the city this morning. Was testing out a fountain design that involved burning netherrack in a ring around a central lava pillar just outside of our fort, since it was too big to place inside the fort. Night fell while I was setting the nettherrack on fire, and a zombie spawned in a tree that was a little ways above me, just enough distance to be flame-safe.... So I thought. That zombie thought it would be awesome to banzai leap outta that tree, smack me off the ring of nethherrack, and make me set fire to the tree directly. Of course, it promptly caught, and proceeded to spread, and spread, and spread...
Luckily, Undone was on, so he made it rain before the fire got too far. But a bunch of wood got taken off the top of our walls, and about a dozen trees bit the dust. There was also a wooden structure near the original tree chain that got set ablaze, belonging to 'pwnageking' whoever that is on the server. I only know that because the chest that he has and the crafting table are floating above the earth, so I checked the 'Private' sign on it for the owner's name. There's not a trace of it remaining...
I've since replaced the wood along the top of the walls, and replanted about 8 trees - though it's still a little thinner than it used to be, to prevent it spreading so crazily again should another accident happen - but that building I don't know the blueprint for. I have no idea what to place where, so until an admin can give me a frame so I know what to replace and where, I can't rebuild it. However, once a frame's up, I will gladly replace the building.
Turns out the fountain looked terrible too, so the design didn't even pan out. All that damage over nothing. =/
My apologies for essentially dropping napalm in the middle of the city, and I'll endeavor to be more careful in the future. Like avoiding using a flint and tinder at all. xD
