Well if he hosts it himself, get a switch put in with adequate firewalls, and anti-ddos scripts (I doubt this is a good hacker, but more of a kiddy-scripter)..

My personal suggestions to mitigate this: Get the TCP Dump, and constantly ring up your server providers and ask them what they are doingRing up your server provider and get them to record itTake the server down from Minecraft lists. Why? Because I bet you right now, that the top 15 minecraft servers get ddos'd by jealous fan boys and such... it occured in Ultima Online freeshards, and the best way was to take your listing off a top 100 servers site

A new note is attached to the Hammerite letter... identical to the last.. Greetings Branborough, and The Vale Citizens, In recent light of hearing you fear us ravaging your land, and also bringing unwanted 'tall folk', we have a counter proposal. We will offer you a sum of 30,000 minas (which is negotiable), and also our own offer of not moving further north than the lake. In addition, we will also be welcoming citizens from your villages to overlook our farms to make sure we are not ravaging your lands. We are not here to interfere with your lives, nor are we to bring crime or war, we only wish to aid and create a partnership in which for generations to come will be seen a stepping stone for the best. If war and crime are what you fear, we will add clauses onto an agreement to give you right to evict us from the lands if we ever bring war from our own doing to your lands. If the citizens have any more questions, we will be willing to hold a town meeting to discuss any issues and discuss the options. On success of these deals for both parties, we will be willing to host a grand party to celebrate the new ties between the citizens of the Vale and Barnborough and the Hammerite Order. Thankyou Signed Locke Blackthorne, on behalf of the Hammerite Order

The note is written in exquisite handwriting, the loops and curls of the lettering make it look like this person has been writing letters for a while.. the ink is a black, with a silvery colour when the light hits it.. the person, or people who wrote this posting mean business. Greetings Citizens of Branborough This letter is a letter of business, and also alliances. We do not seek to invade, nor do we seek to interrupt your quaint lives. The order of the Hammerites, at the neighboring Ironrock Island which to propose an offer to the citizens of Branborough, and the Vale. We are willing to offer support in building, planning and administration, in return for claiming a part of the peninsula south of Branborough. In addition to this, we are also offering a condition of refuge if your lands ever get invaded, and your people have nowhere to go. In addition to this deal, we would also propose this peninsula town to be one of mixed cultures, and hopefully one in which the Order of the Hammerites may be able to benefit you're people in trade, ideas, and also diplomatic ties. Our offer is fully open to negotiations, and we are willing to work with you to make a greater tomorrow. May the Builder Bless You. -Signed Locke Blackthorne on behalf of the Hammerite Order *A embossed hammer seal, declaring this is a legitimate Hammerite document, is put over the top of the signature*

*puts another note on the noticeboard, it's dotted with slime* Fellows, It seems like the gelatinous goo we called 'slimes' have found a way to the surface.. I was assaulted by one of them just outside my chambers this morning, but luckily I had my blacksmith hammer ready, and squished it.. so I apologize for the smell within the barracks. I feel we may need to find a way to control this problem as the slimes give us ample supplies of decent glue, but at the same time are rather annoying. I will leave it for further discussion. -Locke
