As described in the quote, '''''[http://www.blockland.us/ Blockland]''''' is an online multiplayer game where you build things with bricks. There is an event system, which allows you to make blocks do certain things by hitting them with a wrench and editing it. The bricks follow certain rules such as not being able to be placed inside another brick. Players can "Fakekill" bricks by shooting or exploding them with a sufficient amount of force, which will cause them to move around using the laws of physics. While moving around after being fakekilled, they will not affect the players at all and will reset after a time. The game was created by Eric "Badspot" Hartman using the [http://www.garagegames.com/products/1 Torque Engine]. It is currently in version 20. The game now has a launcher that automatically installs small updates and such.

=== This game is the [[Trope Namer]] for: ===

* Banned

----

=== This game and it's users provide examples of: ===

* [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality]]: Physics is treated more like a suggestion then a law. Bricks tend to only follow this suggestion when coerced with violence. Being clientsided, they can even just be disabled entirely.

* [[Accidental Aiming Skills]]: Due to the 'traveling' nature of weaponry, many times a player won't so much shoot their target as their target walks into their bullet. What makes this different from outright 'leading' is many times the victim won't even be in their aggressor's line of sight in the first place, often walking out from behind walls or out of cover to be hit by a stray round.
