Ex-Comm

Ex-Comm (The Ex-Communicated Series), was a reccuring Minecraft series created by Nova, Seamus, and Sly in response to the others' CreatureCraft. There have been 2 different incarnations of Ex-Comm, first one being called The Ex-Communicated Series, and then the Dragon Ball Z Ex-Comm. Four versions of the series have been created due to various Minecraft updates and loss of files rendering the worlds unusable.

History

CreatureCraft was a Minecraft series created by Kootra and the others as a series where all the Creatures got together and played. However, Seamus, Sly, and Nova found themselves excluded - "Ex-Communicated" - from the series. In response, they made their own series. The Ex-Communicated Series has actually been far more popular than CreatureCraft and is likely a key factor to Nova's, Seamus's, and Sly's rises in popularity over the others; all three now have over 1,000,000 subscribers. The three thought, at one point, that they should end the series since they were working on the Treehouse session as well, but overwhelming popularity kept Ex-Com alive. Having been on a long hiatus since December 12, 2012 (when Nova uploaded his last video in the session), it was confirmed by Sly on Creature Talk episode 80 that The Ex-Communicated Series would make its fourth comeback when Seamus and Nova thought it would be convenient.

The series is most likely ended as Sly has left the Creatures. In his announcement video he mentioned Ex-Comm and other unfinished series on his channel with Creatures, and said it would either be finished with other people, or not at all, because he understands how busy the Creatures are.

Summary

The Ex-Communicated Series was described as Gilligan's Island: Creature Edition. The only goal in mind was to one-up the Creatures in CreatureCraft.

The first version of Ex-Com aired on August 14, 2011. They used a seed which spawned them in a huge, mountainous area with fascinating terrain. They built a Tri-Mountain-style house, briefly owned a pet creeper named Mendoza who would eventually despawn, found some diamonds, and created a Nether portal that still didn't work. This version lasted eight episodes on all three channels before they upgraded to 1.8.

The first season of the next version of Ex-Com aired on September 20, 2011. This time, the trio had created a goal: find a stronghold. They were only going to find it, not explore it. Their spawn was on a very high mountain with a lake on one side. Each built his own house, and Seamus and Sly grew a huge amount of giant mushrooms. They performed many Gay Tony jumps, and they constantly punched each other off of the mountain, more often than not resulting in death.

Season two of this version aired on October 5, 2011. The trio decided to pack up and settle in a different place. They added the Mo' Creatures mod and decided to add some goals: each was supposed to get a white Pegasus, and the ultimate goal was to get a black Pegasus. Another goal was to get each person a cat. Sly and Seamus became stableboys and tried to breed the horses while Nova and his cat, "The One That Got Away" Stank Ass 4, built a restaurant on a hill overlooking the new location. Unfortunately, none of these goals could be realized as Sly lost the world file.

The third version of Ex-Com aired on January 8, 2012. Once again, their goal was to tame three white Pegasi; they stayed in 1.8 because Mo' Creatures hadn't been updated to 1.0 at the time. They built three houses in a swamp biome and spent a lot of time rebuilding the damage done by rampaging ogres.

On January 25, Sly announced the loss of this world to his server folder rewriting itself, so they restarted the series once again. This fourth version aired on that date.

As Sly had confirmed in one of his livestreams, Ex-Com made its fourth comeback on Novermber 19, 2012. They tamed a donkey named Eddie Murphy, which Seamus punched into a cave and Sly saw the ghost of later. They built a large, lakeside house that Sly thought was too "warehousey." Nova found two cats: one whom he named Priority Mail, and Stank Ass 6. Sadly, when Nova found Stank Ass 6, Priority Mail disappeared. Nova also began to hear Call of Duty Sounds. The others picked on him for that, stating he was possibly going insane, until Nova unplugged his headphones and they heard the sounds themselves. Seamus also tamed two goats, Glidey McGoat and Goaty McGlide. Seamus and Nova briefly ended up in what Seamus called The Twilight Zone. They only escaped when the server shut down at the end of the first session. The second session aired on November 26, 2012. They had tamed two horses called UPS and My Friend.

The series returned on March 9th, 2014 with the Dragon Ball Z mod. They all had themed skins except Sly who had his normal skin. Nova tamed a snake that he named Joe Dirt but Sly didn't seem to like the name and later killed Joe Dirt. They all flew to the Lookout and got all their abilities, they saw that a bit of the floor was broken when playing with said abilities. Sly and Nova thought about living in there but Seamus said that it was too much colors and looked like a clown house, so they looked for a new place to build. In the second episode, Nova & Seamus tamed turtles, and they're names are references to former series. Nova named his turtle Dr.Pepper , which is the same name of his turtle in his Quad Mountain Survival series. Seamus' named his turtle Glidey McTurtle, which is a reference to multiple other pets Seamus has had in the Ex-Communicated series, and multiple other series as well. Both turtles died within 10 minutes.

Trivia

• The word "Ex-Communicated" usually refers to expulsion from the Catholic Church. This may relate to Sly's use of a priest skin at the start of the series.

• The main cast of the series (Nova, Sly, and Seamus) were also the first three creatures to hit a million subscribers.
• All three of them seem to be treating the Dragon Ball Z mod as a different series, labeling the first episode as ep. or part 1.
• The series is known to have more popularity than thes series it spawned from, CreatureCraft, which only lasted about a month, while Ex-Comm has reccured over a course of 3 years.
• The fate of the series is currently unknown due to Sly's departure from the Creatures.
