Ex-Comm

The Ex-Communicated Series (otherwise known as Ex-Comm) was a recurring Minecraft series created by Nova, Seamus, and Sly in response to the rest of the Creatures' group series, CreatureCraft. There have been 2 different incarnations of Ex-Comm, with the first one being called The Ex-Communicated Series, and the second being called 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. The series is most likely over, due to Seamus' and Sly's departures from the Creatures.

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 - "excommunicated" - from the series. In response, they made their own series, fittingly named the Ex-Communicated Series. The series had actually been far more popular than CreatureCraft and was most likely a key factor to Nova's, Seamus', and Sly's rises in popularity over the others; all three have since surpassed 1,000,000 subscribers on their perspective channels. At one point, the trio thought that they should end the series since they were working on the TreeHouse session as well at the time, but the overwhelming popularity of the series kept Ex-Comm 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-Comm aired on August 14, 2011. The trio 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 didn't work. This version lasted eight episodes on all three channels before they upgraded to Minecraft 1.8.

The first season of the next version of Ex-Comm 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 Creature built their own house, and Seamus and Sly grew a large 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 person was supposed to get a white Pegasus, and the ultimate goal was to get a black Pegasus. Another goal was for each person to get a cat. Sly and Seamus became stable boys 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 would be realized as Sly later lost the world file.

The third version of Ex-Comm 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-Comm made its fourth comeback on November 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 the other Stank Ass 6. Sadly, when Nova found Stank Ass 6, Priority Mail disappeared. Nova also began to hear Call of Duty Sounds in his game. 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 last episode was Nova's 74th episode of the series on December 12, 2012. Since then, the series has been on a hiatus. However, in Creature Talk 80, Sly confirmed that they would bring it back when the time best suited Nova and Seamus.



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. After 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 had too much color and looked like a clown house, so they looked for a new place to build. In the second episode, Nova and Seamus tamed turtles, their names being 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.

In the 6th episode of this, Nova was the first to become a Super Saiyan.

Trivia

 * The word "excommunicated" 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.
 * Sly states that "My Little Pony" is awesome in an episode of this series, being ironic or not and not stating which show specifically.
 * The main cast of the series (Nova, Sly, and Seamus) were also the first three Creatures to reach one million subscribers (Nova has since hit 2M).
 * All three of them seemed to treat the Dragon Ball Z mod as a different series, labeling the first episode as ep. or part 1.
 * Ironically, the series was known to have more popularity than the series it spawned from, CreatureCraft, which only lasted about a month, while Ex-Comm lasted over a course of 3 years.
