The Slice

The Slice
The Slice is a region to the east of Mengpatty. Its location is roughly around x 2395 z-961.

The Slice has been claimed by MisterTor, the main developer of the area. It's capital is Zenith, and any other players who want to build within the region are welcome to join in.

The terrain in the area is mostly flat with large plains and taiga forests. Yet it is very easy to distinguish the region from others like it due to its most prominent feature, the giant slice out of the land.

As a reference point, The Slice can be found a few hundred blocks to the left of the giant "Bowlingotter Show" sign.

Formation
Around 4:00pm on the 25th of November, MisterTor flew to this area to start his own mini-city. Using the worldedit command "hcyl", he intended to build a ring for it to be contained within.

However, this was when everything went wrong.

MisterTor was also using the regular "cyl" command to create a platform/foundation for his city to be built on. (hcyl makes a hollow cylinder, while cyl makes a filled cylinder.)

After the platform was created, he was then ready to generate the much larger, ring around the platform to make the wall. It was going to be a big border, and MisterTor was trying to assume the size that he would need.

He scrolled back in his chat history to the earlier command which he used to make the platform so that he could modify its values to create the wall, since the two commands are very similar in nature.

''However he made a stupid mistake and put in radius: 600, whilst forgetting to change the most important thing of all.. cyl to hcyl!''

This resulted in an absurd generation request of 400,000+ blocks that absolutely fried the server.

Panicking, he tried to rejoin; unfortunately no active mods were online at the time, so MisterTor and a few other  players were locked out for a period of time until one of the mods noticed that the server had crashed.

MIsterTor couldn't rejoin as soon as the server had rebooted, because he crashed the server during his work break and had to wait until after his shift to apologize. Fortunately for him, he was forgiven.

JonnyGu the local server terraformer, tried to revert the land back to its original state. While the giant platform was removed, the blocks the platform had replaced were unable to be restored, resulting in a massive gash of missing blocks cutting through the effected hills and forests.

This ultimately resulted in the butchered landscape of, The Slice.
