Brownmen

Brownmen or "The Brownmen" are a group of players on 2b2t founded during No Server November 2019. They are known for building ban chunks, lag machines, queue skip services and generally abusing Hausemaster and the server as a whole. The Brownman logo is based off of the discord ":man:" emoji. They often work with similar minded projects focused on server abuse. The members formulated during the events of The Book Club, and became an actual group afterwards.

Brownman meme
The Brownman meme originally was created by househousehouse1 in 2019. The Brownmen began to use this meme as their "mascot" and would use it from then on.

Snowcone / Queue Skip
Snowcone is a meme created in November in order to make everyone believe that the frequent crashes were caused by alpha snowballs. The majority of snow cone methods were undetectable by Hause; this allowed members to use it without worrying about priority bans.

The main use of snowcone was skipping queue after Hause priority banned a lot of accounts. There was a channel where queue skips would be announced, players would get in queue at the right moment and get into the server within minutes (in normal queue). This worked by kicking players off the main server without crashing it.

Hausemaster got so angry that he started iP - Priority banning accounts, to combat alt use. This however, didn't work.

There consisted of 8 total snowcones, each being used once the latter was patched


 * Snowcone v0: dubbed "Bible crash" discovered by Redstoner2b2t in Oct 2019; was the process of filling a chest with shulkers of large books and loading it repeatedly. This crashed the server near instantly (stopped processes after a few seconds and everyone timed out). Hause patched it by enabling book banning.
