1. They ran out of picks, so that was probably uncovered by digging out the dirt around it.
2. I've seen people mine like that on regular servers.
3. That is right outside the main faction's base, so maybe they imposed rules on where to mine or killed anyone who got too close. Also, you can see at least two staircases leading out of the mine which makes it look authentic to me.
4. That one is a bit strange although they might simply not take part in the forum.
5. I don't see any lava that isn't flowing.

7. It seems stupid no-one got into the griefers base.
8. Why didn't the wood on the top of [that one building] get used for sticks?"
6. Why would you expect that level of documentation? It's hardly a scientific experiment.
7. They were all on at the same time and that looks pretty easy to defend.
8. Looks like it's made of wooden steps and slabs, which can't be made into sticks. (I actually made a mod that let you reclaim the wood back into planks, with some wastage.)
Regardless I'd really like to play this if anyone wants to do it on their server.
Shh... you're pretty.
