gollark: There are a bunch of ways I can imagine to track people, and in modern packs it's quite easy to do basically whatever you want to someone's base if it's not claimed.
gollark: I imagine a radiing thing wouldn't have dynmap. But still.
gollark: On CodersNet, for example, I can pull anyone's location off the dynmap API, fly over to them quite fast, then arbitrarily teleport through their base.
gollark: How do raiding or at least griefing/stealing-allowed servers actually work in practice, though? In my experience defense is way harder than attack, and the only reason my stuff remains mostly safe is that I play on places with claims.
gollark: Clearly you should have had FOUR turtle pairs!
