6th Grade Minecraft - Part 3

Minecraft: War!
You fought in a "war" today; at least as much of a war as Minecraft can be.  Answer the following questions, all in one comment please:

Your Own Reaction

1.) What were your emotions during the beginning?  If you were an attacker, what were you feeling leading up to the attack?  If a defender, how did you react when the attackers came?

2.) What were your thoughts during the "defend the beacons" stage?  What went well?  What went badly?

3.) How did it feel when a 3rd "army" (the monsters) came in?  Did you automatically stop fighting the other players, or did you continue your fight?  Why or why not?

4.) What were your thoughts and emotions when you looked over the ruin of the city?

5.) Do you think there is such a thing as a "good" war?  Given the destruction and loss of (Minecraft) life that you saw today, is war ever "worth it"?  Why or why not?

  2. 1.i reacted when the attack came i wanted to kill all those attackers for destoying my village!!!!!2. everything went wrong they mostly blended in with ous we should have had diffrent amour on or colors like they did in the old days nobody looked alike to the point they could not tell who was their team and my team!!3.no i didnt stop fighting people it was fun to fight the other people and it brouhght more fun to the project i think that was the funniest part.4 i thought it was a waste of time to bulid that beutiful city for no reason and i was upset and mad about them destroying it.5 war could be a good thing and a bad thing the bad wars are becuase country wanna be lil babys and lunch missels at each other or just fight for no reason just becuase this person said that or that person said that the good wars are for rights or to protect somthing not a war just to test out your armys and kill incooennt people or to get out of control with missels or get out of control period

  3. I felt nothing in the begining and I was a defender but when the beam game came I was on rage and I almost killed jaden then the bad things were that the monsters destoryed almost everything there were no good things. When the 3rd army came I still attacked becuase jacob was getting hit by Jaden so I had to attack Jaden so I did. I got mad when I saw the city because the bakery was so hard to make so I wanted to kill every single attacker and monster. NO, there an't such thing as a "good war" because all wars are bad so there is NO such thing as a "good war" because every thing gets hurt and broke and NO it was not worth it because the time we took to build the buildings was now wasted.

  4. 1.I was a attacker and I did not really know what was going on and then when Mr.Dunn added in monster and Ghost,and defenders it was like WW2. 2.People kept killing me and I did not have a moment to look around. Payton killed me about 13 or 19 times and The good thing was I killed 6 people.3. I continued because there both ememys and i wanted to kill a lot of people.4.I was mad because all that hard work on the house and building we did was heart breaking.5.Yes because if we lost to a war we are going to listen to the attacker.

  5. I was a defender my emotions were i was so confused.Because i did not know what was going on it was too much everybody was killing each other and some people where on fire and we where stuck on one spot.My thoughts during the beacon stage was a chaos in was a disaster there was monster every way you turn and everybody was dieing ever 2 min and no body really protected the beacons.How i felt about the 3rd army was that it made more chos then what it all ready was.Also i did not fight other player i would say everyone was trying to hide and not die everyone was all so trying to protect there self for the zomdies and other monsters.Next my thoughts and emotions where we worked too hard on this city for these monster to be messing it and all of us worked hard on this city.No because some people die in war and they cant reswpan when they die so i do not think there is such thing as good war.Lastly i say it could because you need to fight for you land and what you want or there could be some other way to solve it .But over all i think war is not worth it there should be a civilisation where there is no war.

  6. I was a defender my emotion when I saw we were under attack was I felt like clueless it was shocking. Defending the beacons were hard to defend what was also hard was not knowing who was on your side and not what I* was thinking was who are my people and who am I trying to stop. I stopped fighting the enemy I started fighting the third invaders I didn't see it coming though. I felt like all that hard work was for nothing because all that happened was our whole city was ruined and all that work was messed up. No, I don't think there is such thing as a good war, and I don't think war is worth it because no matter what if its your place or anyone's its getting destroyed and innocent people a dying and it is bad so war isn't worth it at all I really feel what people need to do is talk about your problems I don't think you should kill people to win because it won't solve anything doing that.

  7. When the attackers came I wasn't really afraid because I had an iron sword to defend my self, but I still knew I couldn't fight all of them so I knew I had to run and fight. During the beacons it was easy killing others but when the ghasts, zombies, creepers, and skeletons came it was so freaking bad. The monsters were so bad we all pretty much just didn't fight each other but a few and mostly focused on the monsters. Because if they kept spawning and spawning with no monsters dying we would all be dead. The city was so bad after the monsters blew it up I was so mad that all our work was gone D:< War is never worth it because everything you love and know can be destroyed so that's why I hope for no wars ever to happen ,-,

  8. 1. I was an attacker and it a lot of fun because no one saw us coming .... Until cc tried to kill me.
    2.It went really well all of the all of the Beacons went down because my group took them all down.
    3.I stopped fighting the other players so I could find shelter we hid In cc bunker under the crafting area and we survived the hole time.
    4.I thought why did I do all that work just for it to get destroyed i felt like I should have protected my area more than I did.
    5.No because we could have all been fine if everyone just corporated and just stuck together it would have been fine.

  10. 1. My emotion during the beginning was "What is happening?! Why are all these random people killing me and my classmates? Why were we stuck in a hallway? When I got out, why was there a big maze?" All these questions struck me all at once! WAY too confusing! When the attackers came, all that came into my head was-ESCAPE! I did escape through the maze (sorry I didn't know I wasn't supposed to!) and ended up back in the village. We weren't prepared at all for the surprise attack!
    2. My thoughts during the "defend the beacons stage" was that we (the defenders) would win and keep our houses and beacons where they were. But what went wrong is that the attackers were prepared while we weren't. PLUS the fact that the third "army" came and attacked us both.
    3. When the third "army" came in, I was like "Not another one!" Even though they were monsters, they did some damage that people could have made in the past. To be honest, I kept on fighting the attackers AND I fought the monsters as well. But when I attacked a creeper I accidently made the whole cafeteria center explode (some of it). WOOPS!
    4. When I looked back to our village after the fight was over, it was a mixture of fire, monsters, and torn buildings. It was like we had to make our whole civilization all over again (which takes a lot of time!) !
    5. I think that there is such a thing as a good war. But I think that war was never worth it, ESPECIALLY near our village. It technically destroyed everything-the school, some houses, the cafeteria, and some of our supplies in the storage place. It wasn't fare, but if that was life back then, I'm glad to have been born around this century!

  11. 1. My emotions were being really excited to a little nervous because I didn’t want to mess the attack. I was an attacker and I was feeling again excited and nervous. Even though everybody didn’t know that we were doing that and it was a complete surprise, I was still nervous.

    2. I think that the defend the beacons game was fun and all I was thinking about was get to the beacons first. Before we got into the game my computer bugged out and I started on top of the walls of the maze. Everyone was telling me to go straight to the end and that is what I did. Since nobody was in yet, I got two beacons before everyone came. I don’t know if that is cheating, but it worked so I am going with it. What went well was the communication between all the attackers. Once we all knew we were in the game we split into two groups, and one group went one way and the other group went the other. Quickly it came down to one beacon remaining and I was about to get it because I snuck around the back. I was just about to get it, but the defenders kept walking in front of my sword even though they did not see me. Then I worked with another attacker and I went to the front so they could see. I was a distraction for she could destroy the beacon without any trouble, she did and we won the defend the beacon game. Really nothing went wrong since we ended up winning the game.

    3.When the 3rd army came in we all panicked and most of us including me, stopped fighting each other. I helped some defenders kill some monsters because they were going to die. A lot of people left the area and went to a completely different area and built a house there for themselves. So even if we did continue the fight, there wasn’t a lot of people to actually fight with. The attackers built a underground bunker to survive the monsters. We went up to our city to get some things since we built it in the crafters area and were really close to the chest area.

    4. I was kind of sad to see all of our hard work to build this city go to waste since the city is in pieces. I mean there were holes in the ground, sides of buildings, roofs, the ranch, and just about everywhere we built there was a hole.

    5. In my opinion there is such a thing called a good war. If it is something that is really important like slavery or freedom, then yes it is a good war. Even though war is a mess and your world is full of destruction, the result can be a life changing thing. Just like I said up there, war is worth it if you are fighting for something important. It have shouldn’t matter what skin color you are to do something, and you shouldn’t have to be a slave. We saw that and we fought for that freedom for our world in real world and in the minecraft world.

  12. My emotions were adrenaline hyped ready to kill everyone in sight and prepared. My thoughts were to get all the beacons and capture the city within the time limit. I was prepared for the monsters because Paarth found the spawner and warned me. I immediately stopped fighting ,and started to fight the monsters. I stopped because I felt that the monsters were the bigger threat than the other team. I felt bad for the people who worked so hard on this city. No I don't think there is a such thing as a good war and it not worth it in the end because there are so much damage has been done physically and emotionally and several lives has been lost such as victims,heroes,and enemies.

  13. Being an attacker was awesome. They had no weapons no armor which made it even better. Defending the beacons was also fun it was easy because almost every attacker was next to a beacon. the only bad thing was the monsters. When the monsters came I automatically stopped fighting because at that point I just was focused on me trying not to die. When I overlooked the city my thoughts and emotions were sad because we worked so hard to build that city. No I don't think there's such thing as a good war. Having a war isn't worth it. It's like are you here to take over or at you here to ruin everything. other than that there's no point of having a war.

  14. I was thinking more about the reactions of my classmates than thinking about the impact but I kinda felt bad mostly because they didn't expect it. The "defend the beacons" stage was my favorite part as it simulated us destroying buildings or areas of the town. The 3rd army was the most difficult part.I instantly stop fighting the defenders and focused on the 3rd army. I was thinking about how much damage the 3rd army did compared to us, and as a crafter I didn't know most of the building existed so I wasn't very connected to the buildings. I think war was worth it more many years ago because conquering land allowed you to get more materials and other items, but in present day war isn't worth it because you don't need as much land to get more items with factorys and other forms of making products.

  15. I was a defender.I had no idea that there was attackers i was just doing what i was suppose to, but then out of no where i got killed by an attacker. i was confused at first but then i saw the signs that said defender and attackers. My thoughts during the defend the beacon stage were i thought we were gonna win because we had more people, but the ended up getting all the beacons.When the monster army came in i stopped fighting with the players and starting thinking about a strategy. I think we all stopped fighting because we were thinking about what to do or where to go. When i looked at the ruins of the city i was kinda sad because we put so much work and effort into it. No I don’t think theres such a thing as good war because no war is good. I think war can be worth it for the attakers because maybe they need something they do not have or in other cases it isn’t worth it.Those are my thoughts about the wars and the ruins of the city.

  16. During the beginning I was scared when the attackers came, in my mind I thought Mr.Dunn lied to us. During the beacons stage some of the people were still frozen and all of the attackers were close to the beacons so I thought it was not fair. When the monsters came in I still kept protecting the beacons and trying not to die. But I also thought it was like a world war. When we thought over the ruins of the city I was very mad at Mr.Dunn because he was the one that started the war. Also I was very upset because we spent a lot of hard work on it. I don't think there is a thing as a good war, I think wars are horrible. The loss of life that I saw was very sad, watching everybody drop like flies was horrible. War is never worth it I think we should just talk out our problems.

  17. When the atackers came I was shocking we didn’t know what any of us where expected and for the most part everyone pan-act.well when we try to defend the becons it was hard cause they had better armor than most of us so they had a advantage then all of us so they destroy our all of our becons.When the third army came in they stopped everyone from fighting but that didn’t make some of us still attack the other army’s so that’s why it made a difference because they where distracted.All of our hard work was completely destroyed and all of us where mad and stressed cause all that work for nothing and it didn’t pay off.In my opinion it was a good war cause if we all work as a team then we can rebuild and fix our errors that we forgot to put in or build in so yes it was a good war.

  18. In the beginning, when nobody knew what we were doing (except Jared), I was getting excited to attack them. When Mr. Dunn said go, I quickly opened up the screen and ran right into the city. Once we started killing people, everyone was outraged. For us, it was really fun. During the "defend the beacon" stage I was ready to kill people and destroy the beacons, but when I was running to the beacons, I found a random skeleton spawner in the sand. To myself I thought, "Oh no." As soon as I saw it, it turned to night. I was telling everyone that we had to work together. Of course, nobody knew what I was talking about. When the 3rd army came in, I kept on saying that we had to work together. Instead, people kept fighting me. I didn't know why, but they were still trying to kill me even though there was a big mob of monsters. I just fought back and killed them. I didn't just fight other players, I only fought when they fought with me. When I looked over the city, I was thinking," All that hard work for nothing." I don't think there is a "good war" because there is no point, just fighting with other people and losing your life just to take over. War isn't worth it. You lose tons of lives. It really doesn't seem worth it to me. Those are my thoughts and opinions on this Minecraft activity.

  19. At first i was confused because when me and the miners where trying to get someone out and when i hit them they got hurt. Leading up to the attack i was energetic and nervouse. During the defend the beacon stage i was thinking that we were gonna lose but we got two beacons. The thing that went badly was the part where we had to destroy the beacons and the defenders where killing us but we got them too. When the third army came i was still fighting other players and also fought the monsters. When i saw the ruins of our city i was mad at Mr.Dunn because we put so much time and effort into the city and he was the one who started this warrrrrrrr. No I dont think war is ever good and it is not worth it at all. And honestly is war ever worth it. THAT is the question

  20. Since I was an attacker it was so fun because everyone was mad and confused and they were running for their lives. During the defend the beacon stage my team won, we got all the beacons at once because we split up and they were easy to break since no one was there defending them. Then, when the third army came I started fighting them while being attacked by other players, it kind of made me rage because no one worked together and no one payed attention to what was happening to our civilization and our city. I'll admit, those ghasts kept killing me and man did I rage. When we looked over at how destroyed our city was we were surprised and mad that all of our hard work was a waste and it looked really terrible.

  21. 1) My emotions were crazy, i didn't know what was going on when the Attackers attacked. I wasn't prepared, all i had was food, and a shovel.

    2) During the 'Defend the Beacons' Stage, i was ready now that i knew what was going on, but, i didn't know who were my team members, so that was a little awkward when the people told me they were defenders. And i killed some of them... ( > . < )

    4) I was a bit upset. I didn't think we would do that much damage, but when the monsters came, everything changed. Creepers blew up almost everything. And everything people worked on, either blew up, or got destroyed by the players.

    5) No it was not a good war, and it wasn't worth it. Destroying peoples work, and it was a bloodbath. I ran away from the town and moved into the wilderness, cause i didn't want to die.

  23. Attacker- I was a attacker my emotions were that it was really fun and leading up to the attack I couldnt wait it was so funny everyone kept shouting things like "Why are you killing me" and "Guys stop killing us" it was so funny. I had destroyed 1 beacon it was easy the defenders didn't really stop the attackers we got down all the beacons during the 3rd war I started killing the creepers and all the other creatures I stopped fighting for a little while then started fighting the defenders to which was really hard to do I kept dying and respawning when the 3rd war came in. I felt really sad because my group worked on the supermarket it was all destroyed. It was funny to see their reactions but that wasnt a good war I dont think it was worth it. Brianna.W

  24. In the beginning I was confused and kind of annoyed because I didn't know what was happening. I was a defender so when the attackers came I was ready. I do not think that the defenders were ready for the beacons stage. The things that went badly were the way we defended or attacked with no plans. We did a good job with staying alive. Some did better than others. I also felt panicked because I did not expect the monsters to come. I continued to fight both armies. I did this because I could not let one army distract me while the other destroys the civilization or kill me. When I looked over to the destroyed city I felt dissapointment because We worked hard on our civilization. I do not believe that there is a good war. I also do not believe war is worth it with the amount of people killed.

  25. When the attackers attacked,i was mad because i kept dying. The thing that went badly were that the attackers destroyed the beacons before the defenders could protect them. It got harder when the monsters came because,we had to fight off them and the attackers.No, I don't think there's a such thing as a good war.My thoughts when i looked over the ruined city was that we destroyed more of the city then the monsters.

  27. In the beginig we had no idea what was goin on. (Expecialy me because my computer was acting up and it spawned me to the middle of no where!!). I was a defender and not the best.(Like i was, REALLY,REALLY bad.). And as a defender you are supposed to deffened. We deffended the bekons.(i think that how you spell it.).Every one was pretty supprised and shocked at first. It really was exciting and it really got your adreniline pumping. We tried our best to defened the bekons.(i think thats how you spell it.)during the defened the bekons stage we thought "we aren't going down without a fight!!!" ANd we didn't. What went well was that we we defended ur bekons.(i think thats how you spell it.). What went badly was when all thoes monsters started to come in and mad things very challenging and difficult. Last but not least i do think that there are things such as a good war. That means even though we got a lot of distruction to the buldings we worked (REALLY, REAllY) hard on that means that if/when we win the war they would FINALLY leave us alone for good and probably wont be back for a while. Which would give us time to fix our deamaged buldings.

  28. 1.) I was an attacker and it was pretty fun to know that nobody was expecting us coming and it was cool to get to kill everybody when they didn't have any advantage at all.
    2.) Defending the beacons was the easiest part because AJ, Leia and I were in a group while AJ was defending while me and Leia destroying them. In our group we has 3 or 4 beacons destroyed.
    3.) I was trying to attack the mobs with Nathan but there was so many it kept getting harder and especially while the defenders still wanted to kill us.
    4.) It was really cool to see it all destroyed but it didn't really effect me as much as the others because I hadn't built that city because I was originally in Mrs.Alton's group.
    5.) In my opinion I think war inst worth it because of all the lost of peoples lives and fighting but in Minecraft it is definitely one of the funnest things ever.

    1. Nicole, I'm glad you are able to recognize the difference between the game and actual war! If you were more invested in the building of the city, how would you feel if it was destroyed?

  29. 1.) I was a defender, and when the attackers came I was shocked because in the beginning we were all one civilization. When I died I was confused because everyone was in a room killing each other.

    2 and 3) During the defend the beacon stage I was just trying to stay alive because it was annoying to go through the maze and when the monsters spawned I didn't even worry about the other team, I was just trying to kill the monsters.I stopped fighting the other team because they basically stopped fighting us when the "3rd team" came in.

    4.)When I looked at the city I was confused because I was wondering why he made us build a big civilization if he was just going to have us destroy it.

    5.) I don't think there is such thing as a good war unless you're the one who one. War is worth it sometimes because if two countries are arguing war can settle it.

  30. In the beginning I was not comprehending what was going on. One reason was because I was out in the middle of the woods not paying attention to anyone or anything but ME and MY surroundings. Second reason is I wasn't listening to anyone. I could hear the people screaming and "stop killing me" and "oh no I'm in heaven" but I couldn't care less about what other people were doing. They seemed very dramatic; the whole situation was just anti-climatic. During the "Defend The Beacon" stage, as soon as I was out of the maze me and a fellow class-mate headed to the woods. We had a plan to stay low and it worked! Neither one of us died (even though we didn't do anything that was supposed to be done). Finding shelter was easy, claiming it was hard. Our soon-to-be-home was being occupied by spiders,zombies, creepers,etc. Once we found shelter we needed light. In my inventory I had wood. So my teammate went on a hunt to fund coal. Once we found the coal we used our crafting table to make torches. When the monsters decided to appear I did not actually notice until one of the people sitting next to me started screaming! I was never really fighting anyone or anything so not much changed when the monsters appeared. Excepts for when we had to fight them for shelter. When I looked at the city I was furious! I...I mean my team, had a very stunning palace that was destroyed. That is all I'll say about it, it hurts to much to think about the palace. I think that war is against all the things people have protested for and I honestly don't see a'good' or 'fair' point to any type of war or violence. That concludes everything I have the say about mine craft.

    1. Wow Jayla, I can really feel the roller coaster of emotions you went through! What a very detailed response.

  31. I was an attacker. I felt very excited because I really wanted to see how everyone else would react the attack. I was asking myself would they be surprised or not. The beacon stage was easy at first because people were not guarding them. As the the stage went on it got harder because everytime I went for a beacon I got surrounded by all sides and I had to fight my way out. 99% of the time I did not make it out alive. When I looked over the ruins of the city I was surprised how much everything went down so fast. There were monsters everywhere. I felt like I was in the "Avengers" movie when they looked all around the city to see what it had become. Plus the ghasts were the worst out of all the monsters. War is never worth it. To many lives are at risk and to many lives are lost. Anyone who is about to start a war should think about what they might start and what might happen.

    1. So, do you think they were surprised by the attack? How did you feel about the quick destruction of the city that took so long to build up?

  32. My emotions in the begging were evil because I was one of the attackers and the other attackers and I secretly started to destroy our town as we were killing people in the game. My feelings leading towards the attack were scared and funny because I was worried that someone would find our hiding spot and it was also funny because everyone thought we were in trouble. My thoughts on the defend the beacon stage were that the task was a little difficult because now everyone can kill each other to defend the beacon and I also believe that this stage was easy because I had a diamond sword and it was easy to break the beacon's. I believe that the stage went very well because it was a race to see you can break either beacon's first and I also believe that it went a little bad because there was a beacon up high that I had trouble getting to and then the people on top were just shooting me with their Bowen arrows. When the monsters came in I felt like that our city was going to get completely destroyed because when the monsters blew up them broke a lot of the buildings and they also left big holes in the ground. Another monster was shooting fire balls and that destroyed the town as well because everyone would die from the fire. At that moment I stopped fighting the other people because I was worried about our town because we worked really hard on our civilization. My emotions after looking over our civilization were anger and depression because I was mad of how poor our people protected our town and I was also depressed because I felt like everyone's hard work was for nothing. I believe there is something such as a good war because if our town worked together and not against each other maybe we could've kept our civilization last longer than it had. I don't believe that war isn't worth it because if we built the land with all of our time I don't feel like anybody should own our land.

    1. Haley, I'm a little confused on your take about war. It seems like you have a lot of emotions going on during this simulation.

  33. I reacted by being surprised when the attackers came. I think it went badly because i was very confused. When the monsters came I died a lot so i hided in the bakery (build by the lumberjacks). Was sad looking at the ruins of the city. No there is no such thing as a good war because everything got destroyed>

  34. 1. Sadly I wasn't in the second war (the reason I wasn't in the second war was because I was an attacker) so I didn't have the full experience.
    2. Same thing I wasn't in the 2 war.
    3. So when I finally knew I was a defender and I went through the maze. I felt supersized I started to fight the monster and KP killed me. Second time I ran from the monsters and out of the city building a house with Lonnie.
    4. My thoughts and emotions when I looked in the ruins of the city were surprised and shocked.
    5.Yes, I think there was a good war because Mr. Dunn told us what it feels like to be in a war in a early civilization. We wear set up to know how to be in a war to learn from it. I think it was worth it because we needed to learn what it feels like.

    1. I a bit confused by your role in this Minecraft simulation. Were you an attacker or defender? Either role would mean you were in the war. You had an interesting strategy to build another home. Do you think you could have just reinforced a building that was already built?

  35. In Minecraft, I was a defender. At the very beginning when you didn’t tell us what was happening, everyone thought that the people were just killing us for no reason so everyone got really mad. My thoughts on what went badly was when you were still talking and the attackers already stole the beacons.When the monsters came ini stopped fighting the attackers and i think the attackers stop fighting us too because i saw a lot of attackers but they were only fighting the monster. When i saw that our civilization was ruined, i knew how it felt for the people back in the older days. I felt sad and mad that they had to ruin it. I think there is no such thing as a good war and it was not worth it. The people who attacked other civilizations are greedy and selfish.

    1. Aima, you have some good reflections about the simulation. Please make sure you proofread and capitalize your I's!

  36. 1) I didn't really have an emotion as a defender because me and a class mate ran away and made a house in a cave away from everyone.

    2)Everything went well because nobody was after us and we were building another civilization.

    3)I didn't know monsters were even added to the game because I was too busy making a underground home.

    4) I was mad and sad when I saw the ruined city because they destroyed our castle and killed our horse Magic :(

    5)There isn't really a good war because its only good to the attackers of the war.I believe the war wasn't worth it because nobody got anything good out of it.

    1. I agree with your assessment of war. There are high costs to every war.

  37. My emotion during the attack was confusion, and I though it was a joke, I mean when your on town starts attacking your you get confused. My thoughts during defend the beacon was, I had a plan I was not going to defend my civilization, so I decided why not make my own civilization? I ran as far as I could on till I found a cave and I dug as far as I could and survived the hole day without dying. First of all I didn't even know that the monsters spawned I was just paying attention to my own civilization. The only way I knew there was a third army was on the other screens. So I still continued on with my civilization and did not fight anyone or anything. I was really disappointed and mad when I saw the ruined city we worked so hard on it and he just destroyed it , but I had my own shelter so I wasn't that mad. I think there is such thing as a good war because you can become free from war or help people in danger, so it is really important to have war. Yea it might destroy everything but in the end you get something that you will use in the future, and war is very worth it because of that.

    1. Sarah, what an interesting reflection. You were very resourceful during the attack.

  38. 1.I had no feelings doring the attack because i was prepared with weapons before the attack started.

    2.My thoughts with defend the becon was just protect the becons but the attackers just out played us with their strategy.

    3.There was a lot of confusion when the mobs came in because no one knew who to fight and what not to fight.

    4. I felt mad because what you shed sweat and tears on is no obliterated to crumbles.

    5. No there is no such thing as a good war because no matter what happens some one dies one way or another.

  39. My emotions where surprise until mr. Done told us what was happening. I was a Defender and when the attackers came I got all crazy like and such that they were hackers. I also thought that a word that we were going to get kicked out by the hackers. But they but they words hackers they were classmates. My thoughts were what would happen if the entire town. Destroyed and who were the attackers. The things that put well were that after a while we found out who's the attackers were into the Defenders were. The things that went badly were that we did not know who the attackers and Defenders were at the beginning. I felt like I was going to scream when the third Army / monsters came. At the beginning when the third Army was there I did not just stop attacking but I just started attacking both of them my thoughts and emotions were sadness and that the monsters and attackers where 1 team. When we looked over the city I thought of how long it would take the ancient Egyptians to build there town again but there was so much damage we could not rebuild it he also lost time. The thing that I thought it looked like would be from a game called Phantom Forces on Roblox it is also like Call of Duty because there was so much damage. I think there is such thing as a good War when you win a war. War is also not worth it because you could lose all of your stuff and get taken over by another attacker. War is stupid. If I were the king of that town I would want double walls 2 Moats pointed fences and more Army members I would also want heavier body protection because you only have one life except in Minecraft in Minecraft you have Infinity life unless you put on the one life or the life restriction part which makes you have one
