Survival
JettKuso began playing Survival on Runsafe in late 2012. At this point, he had only really played Minecraft in Creative mode -- both in singleplayer and on the server. Calling upon his lack of knowledge regarding anything past tree punching, he started off by building an adorable 5x5 wooden house on a small island. This was then found and griefed immediately. Fast forward to mid 2013 -- JettKuso had been living in a nice base that was doing okay compared to many previous attempts. All seemed well . . . but elsewhere in Survival, things took a turn for the worst. Skybase Infinity (home of several other staff members), was destroyed by a dangerous user know only as "Skalamandar", leaving many people with no base. Quickly, a plan to find magical new land was devised. JettKuso was invited to join in, and a team of staff members assembled instantly. Just as the group prepared to set off on their quest, another user was spotted attempting to follow. Panic ensued upon a dreadful realization . . . it was none other than Skalamandar himself. He was quickly met with a friendly barrage of arrows, which dealt a great deal of damage. Unprepared for this, he retreated briefly before attempting to come back. The team responded by throwing down a block of TNT as a distraction, and courageously running away with arms flailing. After many inhuman squeaking sounds were emitted, the group calmed down and realized that they had somehow lost the Skalamandar. At this point, an ocean was found and a direction was chosen. From then on, It was an incredibly long, action packed adventure out in the open seas. Many boats were broken, many squids were cursed at, and they lost at least fifty men in a dreadful storm. Finally, over one million blocks away from the 0x 0z location, a Mushroom Island biome was found by the survivors; JettKuso, Jesse_070296, and Mintus001. Shortly after the initial journey, Nerothis, Kiiaz and Yuliette joined the group. Some also believe that Kruithne may have dwelled somewhere deep inside this very island . . . however this is largely due to the fact that he was either present or riding Mintus001's head during the entire boating ordeal. Do not ask about the snowballs. The island was quickly covered in various buildings, and the once empty space began to look like a town. However, this brilliant home did not last. After no more time than a week or two, the group became fearful that the island's coordinates had somehow fallen into the hands of many other dangerous users, including Skalamandar. Quickly, JettKuso made a deal with Kennny92. Using the new summoning feature, Kennny brought everyone present on the Mushroom biome to a new island boasting an even greater distance from the 0x 0z location. In return, Kennny and Naxanria were allowed into the group. After a short stay on the island, Jett and Jesse traveled briefly by boat to find a new location nearby. Everyone quickly relocated, and the abundant space was used to build bigger, better, far more brilliant bases than the last biome had brought. PinkPickle55 and BumbleBee0123 joined the group, and a massive alliance was formed. For the most part, this home allowed for a peaceful time . . . but for this group, it seemed a good base could not last. The team was betrayed by REDACTED, who summoned Skalamandar to the base. After a bit of confusion and sword-slapping, the group simply began to question Skalamandar about his intentions. The mercenary only revealed that he had been paid to do something, and that he had succeeded. Unaware of what he had actually done, most of group deemed it unsafe to stay where they were and quickly retreated to the Nether to set up a storage base for their items, while a few others went their separate ways. Only Jett, Jesse, Kruithne, Kiiaz, Minuts, Yuliette, PinkPickle and BumbleBee remained. At the same time, BumbleBee revealed that she has received an offer from Proto007, owner of the largest base in Survival. He had offered to summon BumbleBee to his base, in exchange for being summoned to the group base by her. The group realized that Proto had no idea that everyone was already packing up and leaving this base, so they told Bumble to go through with the offer, leaving behind just enough buildings and items to make the base look occupied. Proto, behind_themask and Propasta then "raided" this base, assuming that the group had been poor this whole time. BumbleBee, appearing to have completed her side of the deal, was then summoned to Proto's base. This hardly mattered, as that base was somehow found and griefed the next day. Meanwhile, the group cackled away in their Nether base, storing their precious shinies in many, many rooms. The cackling was cut off when behind_themask found this base and took a few of the nicer things, but nonetheless the group was still amused by the entire "Proto & friends" ordeal. At this point, the remaining members of the group split up to explore Survival, doing various things to entertain themselves, and teaming up here and there. They realized that their giant group base strategy looked like nothing more than a big target to other players, so they disbanded from a singular location, but still remained an alliance. Shortly after this, behind_themask summoned Skalamandar to the nether storage base, who then proceeded to start blowing things up. JettKuso attempted to provide Skalamandar with a friendly greeting, but he merely responded with an awkward "Oh.. hi" before sidestepping out of the room. The group now doubts that their chests and chests of junk will be safe, but a this point they are having a hard time caring -- they are quite used to moving and/or starting over.
Reading this entire, ridiculous paragraph makes JettKuso laugh.
Creative
Description
In the Creative world, JettKuso has built three multiplayer maze/puzzle games that few people actually play. Two of them are simple "1 on 1" maze games, while the third is a four player "2 on 2" team game with a combination of small mazes and puzzles. The object of all three games remains the same: Reach the center of the plot before the opposition. All three games each consist of two identical L-shaped complexes squished together, and both lead to a center room. Of course, each complex is represented by a different color. Players start on opposite sides of the plot, and each enter their chosen complex at the same time. From that point on, it is a race to see who can navigate through their complex faster and reach the center of the plot.
Games
- Pink Vs Purple is a two player "1 on 1" game, and each complex contains nothing more than a simple one block high maze. Co-created by PinkPickle55. The plot name is JettKuso_5.
- Orange Vs Blue is another two player game, but the mazes are two blocks high instead of one. Both complexes are broken up into four sections marked by three "checkpoints". The plot name is JettKuso_4.
- Red Vs Green is a four player "2 on 2" game featuring a combination of maze sections and simple puzzles inside each complex. Four players must split up into two teams of two players, and each team must work together to reach the center of their chosen complex first -- this makes it the most challenging of the three games. Unlike the other two plots, Red Vs Green has puzzles that each require a manual reset after a game takes place. Therefore, JettKuso most be online to start and manage a game of Red Vs Green. The other games feature pressure-plate activated start systems that allow players to begin a game on their own. The plot name for Red Vs Green is JettKuso_3.
It is worth noting that JettKuso does have other plots in Creative:
- JettKuso_1 - Built in mid 2012 when JettKuso was an inexperienced Builder who wanted a fort.
- JettKuso_2 - Seemingly innocent plot with nothing more than a cobblestone castle on it. Right?
- JettKuso_6 - The perfect habitat for your average Steve. Includes a house, tunnels, hidden ores and more.
- JettKuso_7 - A tacky emerald castle forged from the very essence of JettKuso's raw uncontrollable boredom.
- JettKuso_8 - Very large "afk ride" for sitting/riding in when one is afk. This was actually a tricky thing to design.
- JettKuso_9 - What is The tunnel? Nobody really knows, but this plot claims to have two of the obstacles that were once inside of it.
- JettKuso_10 - This plot appears to be a giant note block. But wait, what's that? It can play a song too? Yeah right. Everyone knows note blocks are useless.
- JettKuso_11 - Closed for repairs after numerous reports of a "haunted ride" or some nonsense. JettKuso fails to see what the fuss is about, it looks completely fine!
- JettKuso_12 - A "post apocalypse" version of the Survival spawn used from December 2012 to May 2013. It placed third in the Spring 2013 Creative Contest, and was later used to replace the old spawn in the Survival world after the current Runsafe spawn was built.
- JettKuso_13 - A strange, challenging plot designed to make you use that brain. Start at the very bottom of the structure and try to find your way up through the inside. If you reach the top, your observational skills probably aren't half bad. A fun plot to try with friends. (It's also fun to watch it confuse people after you've already beaten it)
- JettKuso_14 - A small, purpose-built "flying machine" that can serve as a fully functional base in Survival. This small craft contains five chests, four furnaces and other necessities, such as a crafting table, anvil, brewing stand, enderchest, and jukebox (for listening to some tunes). Though the creation has been named "The B9 Compact Airbase" (or just B9), most players call it other things, such as "The Jettmobile" or "Jett-jet".
Where to find him
