It just occurred to me when I was reading the posts like this that if we truly ARE on a server with OP's and admin and creative mode and server lag, the question comes up... are we the players... or the NPCs...Hm, does that mean that each time a server lags and we move faster than it can keep up, we can send messages into the server's past?
Edit: this quote isn't the best one I just wanted a reference to this conversation
