GS Trading Co is a secluded group ran by Gsmack and SkullerG. Established in 2018 on 2b2t and migrating over to sim in June 2020, the group has grown from the original 2, to now 9 members. GS Trading Co is mostly known on the server for being very wealthy, and it has become one of the fastest-growing groups of 2020. They are known for PvP, collecting, exploring, and farm designing. GS Trading Co. was formed in 2018 when Gsmack and SkullerG wanted to make a collection for their items on 2b2t. Once they did, they invited their friends 4Pilot and Redbaron1991 to make some bases and join as affiliates. They later expanded the group by inviting iLxgend. Once the group had grew bored of 2b2t, they were looking for another server to join, and later migrated over to SimPvP looking for a new place to play.
From July 2021 to January 2022, GS Trading Co. was a core member of the G.S.F.W. super-alliance, alongside the Church of Francis and The Order of Wilbur.
After the grief of GS Base 3, many members would become inactive, but despite that some still play actively.

The Beginning Of A Group Of Legends
Establishment
Migrating from 2b2t, Gsmack, SkullerG, 4Pilot, and _Goujon_ would all join the server looking from a server to call home. They had discovered the server through 4Pilot, who had previously joined on April 18th, 2020 hearing about it from a long time 2b2t player who had also joined sim before, xcc2. In a short amount of time together they had ventured out to create their first base, GS Base 1 which they ended up staying till they had gained enough resources to move farther out. Their quick rise in power came through their farm expert, SkullerG, who over the course of year would develop many powerful farms for the group that allowed them to get ahead of all the others players and established groups on Sim. Their main builder and explorer 4Pilot would construct small builds alongside Gsmack & Goujon. GS's other notable rise to fame during their establishment was the legacy of SkullerG and _Goujon_ as fierce pvpers who quickly posed a threat to many long time pvpers. It would later be Goujon's thirst for blood that led to the first war GS Trading Co would be apart of.
The Brunoland War of Independence
The Brunoland War of Independence started on August 17th after Goujon attempted to kill Bruno_vera in /world. With the beginning of the war, GS Trading Co would blockade /world to every group not in support of them. In response, AntHand would assemble a small team to take back /world consisting of FlameKnight, Sellout9, and himself. Brief fighting would occur and SkullerG would be the one to bite the bullet after Sellout9 knocked him into the void.
After the first initial fight tensions began to die down as both Brunoland and GS Trading were working at their own bases not paying much attention to the war. Bruno would then ask Goujon to cease hostility not liking conflict. Agreeing, the war would seem to come to a close as both parties had mutually agreed it was time for it to end. Or so they thought.
With the conclusion of the Spawn Kast Removal Team efforts at spawn, both Brunoland and GS Trading Co members would be present with no fighting. All the members of GS Trading after the photo taken for SKRT would announce that they wanted to show everyone a 'special base' they had found. Anthand, paranoid, rushed to brunoland as soon as possible believing that it could be the base they are referring to. With his paranoia being correct Anthand watched as every member of GS Trading arrived at the base. At a standoff, both parties stood there paralyzed wondering who would attack first. Battle would occur after GS started to break chests and bomb various buildings. Sice_01 would arrive at brunoland unaware of GS Trading's presence and assist Anthand in a 3-2 battle. Outnumbered and unprepared, after his final totem had popped Anthand took to the skies in order to draw out members of GS. Only drawing out Goujon, Sice would then be crystalled to death by SkullerG. With the fall of Brunoland, GS Trading's justification for their grief after agreeing to stop hostility was that it had not officially ended. The war finally came to a close after the griefing of Brunoland and it looked very unlikely that the members would regroup after the fall of their base.
Sternenfall Nochmal
Early development of Sternenfall Nochmal would begin on June 30th, 2020. The original four members, Goujon, SkullerG, Gsmack, and 4Pilot. These four players who begin early developments on farms like bamboo, bee, sugarcane, and as well as villager trading halls to quickly gear up. Skuller during this time would be-friend llama and named it, "niggalama." The base would not see huge developments until after the Brunoland War of Independence. During the war 4Pilot would construct a powerful gunpowder farm that supplied the rest of GS Trading Co with TNT and fireworks. After the Brunoland War an old friend of theirs Redbaron1991 would be invited to the base after a six month absence from their group. One of their members, Gsmack, originally was not to pleased hearing that Baron would be brought to the base and proceeded to murder him countless times before eventually welcoming him back to the group and giving him a shovel which is still in his enderchest till this day. Reunited these five players would begin constructing more builds and farms together now back after all their migrations from 2b2t. For a few months building at their own areas before bringing in three new members to their group, SenorJeb, iLxgend, ZedZeppelin. ZedZeppelin, the newest member of the group would construct their first portal hub that included diamonds in the floor for aesthetic. iLxgend would work in a private location far off from the base creating a giant horse race track for his building pleasure. SenorJeb would create a sandcastle which would then later be ingulfed by 4Pilot's Skyscraper during the modernization of the base. More farms would be created, such as the raid farm built by SkullerG which allowed them to take control of the emerald economy on sim. A new portal hub made by iLxgend which had brought astounded beauty also sparking the base's theme of modern skyscrapers.
ZedZeppelin's construction of his own separate base would begin, calling it "Winterfell." This base would follow a wintery town theme with a giant main hall in the middle of this spectacular base. With hot air balloons flying across this cold base and an ice dragon watching over his masterpiece, Zed would create his legacy as a greatly talented builder. Winterfell would live as his home until it's grief after YMP x-rayed the portal leading to the base.
Other small events would take place during this base such as the slaughtering of pets first started by the murder of Gsmack's cat committed by Baron. This mass slaughter of pets led to every member hiding their pets in fear of their loved ones being brutally murdered by Baron acting like a complete psychopath. The last known murder of a pet at the base was the death of Skuller's pet cat, "tabby", who was killed by Gsmack on accident which caused both Baron and Gsmack to scramble to find a replacement cat before SkullerG could find out. Skuller never found out about the cat's death to the hands of his friends and assumed it's death was from the later grief of Sternenfall at the hands of YMP. This base would be home to many civil wars within the group such as the death of Irwin, Goujon & Gsmack's pet Iron Golem. The Trial of Gsmack V Baron, a court case ruled by the judge, SkullerG, over a case about the many griefs and murders the two had committed against each other. Gsmack and Baron's rivalry and playful hatred for each other would continue throughout the second base with Baron griefing Gsmack's Christmas tree & bee farm, and Gsmack blowing up Baron's first home at the base. 4Pilot would begin base hunting during this time and discover many bases including Creaverse. SkullerG would reach the Z+ World Border during his time at this base. Sternenfall would also be the operation base that GS used during the Imperial War to gear up themselves and their allies up with the resources they had. As time passed on all the members of the base had started conversation of relocating to a base farther out and more secure as their old base was still fairly close to spawn. In the summer of 2021 they would set out on a long journey of creating what would have been their biggest and most powerful base yet, GS Base 3. Sternenfall Nochmal would thrive for a whole year before it's eventual demise in August of 2021.
Imperial War
Before allying with Church Of Francis, GS Trading Co would join the war alongside the People's Coalition. All 8 members of GS Trading would help in the war providing the People's Coalition resources and gear while also granting them the assistance of their best pvpers. GS would fight together with The Order Of Wilbur, YeeterMyPeeter, Goldforge Citadel, The Order of the Wyvern, and many others. On December 10th, all People's Coalition members would meet at Lakeside Lodge, a Church of Francis outpost that would be griefed. Immediately after, they would relocate to Gibraltlar Castle also griefing that. As war continued, GS Trading Co co-leader, Gsmack, discovered a spawn base that was initially started by Anthand. While exploring the base he discovered a Francillian Flag and alerted the People's Coalition where they would grief it on December 14th, 2020.
A breaking point would occur in the war when fellow PC member, Sellout9 would scam ZedZeppelin in a trade in /world on January 8th. In retaliation to this betrayal, both GS Trading leaders SkullerG and Gsmack would encourage all GS Trading Co members to withdrawal from the war. All GS members besides 4Pilot would leave the People's Coalition causing them to take a huge hit in numbers. During this incident, Francis leader Lord1, seeing an opportunity would attempt to recruit GS Trading Co to the side of The Church of Francis. Declining, GS Trading Co would leave the war and continue building at Sternenfall Nochmal.

GS Monument and Obsidian Statue
GS Trading before their move to GS Base 3 would construct a monument for their group. It was fully built in obsidian with plans to include each individual member's skin showcasing their extreme wealth on the server. This monument would be built by SkullerG, Gsmack, 4Pilot, and Redbaron1991 the original four members of GS in their early 2b2t days.
Following the GS monument they would begin showcasing more of their wealth through their obsidian statue of Adolf Hitler which took two days to build. While most of the community disliked GS's poor choice in a statue, it had showcased their wealth through their obsidian storage. Built mainly by SkullerG and 4Pilot with the assistance of Redbaron it would be completed and then showcased to newcomers on the highway.
GS Trading Co's Breaking Point
In the summer of 2021, GS Trading Co would go on a long journey to relocate their base to a new location to create what would have been their biggest and most powerful group base yet. If this base was completed it would've strengthened GS Trading's power possibly allowing them to have an iron grip over SimPVP. The power that this group held and achieved in such a short time was astonishing to the many players of Sim. That being said, this base would last three months after it's initial creation and sent their group on a downward spiral. In early construction of the base, all the members of GS Trading got to work, iLxgend would begin creating the portal hub that would've been his greatest build yet that allowed GS to hop between portals around their base in fashion. 4Pilot constructed the sorter with the help of Gsmack, Skuller, SenorJeb, and Redbaron who helped clear the area and assisted in redstone and buildings. SkullerG recreated their famous raid, gold, and obsidian farm over the course of a month. ZedZeppelin would begin his newest build alongside Gsmack at a close location near the base naming it, "Pompeii." Redbaron1991 would start to create his own solo build project that was underground and a few thousand blocks away from the portal hub. _Goujon_ had been absent for months at this point, only getting on to move his account to the newest base. As development continued, the base would thrive amongst the members as many dreams and goals were set for this base with high expectations that they would be completed with maximum effort. Tragedy would strike breaking GS Trading Co around the end of August at the height of the war with YMP.
The GS YMP Conflict of 2021 had caused massive tension between the two groups often clashing and bashing each other in chat. With a growing hatred amongst the group for YMP it looked as if nothing could tear them apart. That would all change on September 20th, 2021 a heated argument amongst two members, Redbaron1991 and SenorJeb would occur. This argument went on for a few hours between the two with a few GS members, Gsmack and iLxgend join in more on the side of Jeb. While there was no clear motive for this argument, the heat started to pack up when Jeb insisted to Baron that even though they had known each other for years, that he was never his friend. With iLxgend and Gsmack laughing at other comments Jeb was making against Baron, Baron would be ingulfed in rage driven for soul purpose of getting revenge against Jeb, Gsmack, and iLxgend. Before making careless actions, he approached a few of his fellow members who either didn't respond due to business or brushing off the argument that occurred not wanting to deal with the drama. Filled with rage, Baron would make a careless and heartless decision deciding to give 1590283112 a portal to GS Base 3. After 159 had used Baron's emotional state as a way to gain coordinates to GS Base 3, he would then raid the base overnight once 4Pilot had logged off for the night. All the members the night before had grew suspicious of Baron as he was extremely angry, leaving all the group chats he was apart of and proceeded to be friendly with 159 in chat.
On the morning of September 21th, 2021, all the members of GS Trading Co were extremely shocked but not surprised to be greeted with an utterly destroyed GS Base 3 at the hands of YeeterMyPeeter. Their shocking betrayal from their friend broke the group to it's core. A heated argument broke out in the SimPVP discord with many players being shitpostered due to the toxicity of the argument. Following that, one of the original GS members _Goujon_ would be jailed for rule 3 after he leaked an irl photo of Redbaron1991. Tensions continued to grow as 4Pilot had lost all of his maps as well as his echest to his irl friend who he had introduced to 2b2t as well as SimPVP. Their friendship would crumble and come to an end after the leaking never speaking since the incident. 4Pilot would then switch accounts to "Bilot", as his main account 4Pilot would be lost to Mojang's account migration. The heated argument mainly between SenorJeb and Redbaron1991 had caused a major shift in GS Trading's grip on Sim, crumbling it to the ground and causing many members to lose motivation in SimPVP. After the incident, everyone in GS Trading as well as Redbaron had taken a break from sim trying to move on with their lives after such betrayal.
The Aftermath
The griefing of GS Base 3 and betrayal of Baron had sent GS Trading Co on a downward spiral. With the jailing of Goujon and loss of motivation to play many members would quit sim. But the loss of motivation would not be the end of GS Trading Co. In early October GS Trading Co would raid the Conspiracy's base. While raiding, GS leader SkullerG would discover a portal on accident while remodeling clipchip's old gold farm at his 2013 McMafia base. He would then be jailed for x-ray a few days later by newest admin, KoriJenkins. GS Trading had taken a hit to their numbers, Skuller was their brightest in the group being proficient with Minecraft's technical features as well as their main farm expert. With him gone the members struggle when creating a new base as they were not only outraged by Skuller's injustice jailing but at a complete loss because of it. Redbaron1991 would purposefully jail himself during this time by using boatfly while notifying MoWobbler of his request. Mid October a group chat would been created between Redbaron1991, SkullerG, Gsmack, and _Goujon_ where they would talk about what had happened and say their goodbyes to their comrade. GS Trading Co's iron grip on SimPVP had been set free due to the fall of GS Base 3 and the jailing of a few of their members. Many notable members still play actively despite the tremendous loss they have faced like 4Pilot and iLxgend. There is no clear indication on if GS Trading Co will rise again due to YMP's current disbandment in January of 2022. That being said as one of the most prominent, powerful, and strongest groups on the server, GS Trading Co has had an everlasting effect on SimPVP's history as a whole despite the tragedies and betrayal's they faced.
Resurrection of GS Trading Co.
Seemingly after the fall of Sternenfall Nochmal and GS Base #3, with _Goujon_ Being jailed for Rule 3 and SkullerG being jailed for rule 2, GS lost severe motivation to play. One player in the group named iLxgend still had a spark to continue. iLxgend, asking and begging of SkullerG to grant him a portal far out to go make a new base for the group. SkullerG, finally giving in, granted a portal extremely far out. Right after the portal was given to iLxgend, he took flight to go start the new group base. After flying a short distance, iLxgend discovered the new location for Wasted Disk Space (GS Base #4). Telling all of the members, iLxgend brought every member of GS to the base via shift portals, and they got to slow progress. _Goujon_ was later unjailed with agreement from the admins and Ex GS member Redbaron1991. Progress at the base and recovery of items was extremely slow, but it did not stop anybody. The base made steady progression, but without SkullerG’s Farm knowledge, and Skuller refusing to share the farms, the base would not make much progression on total riches.
A Miracle Happens
On February 8th, 2022 something happened that many players will not forget. SkullerG’s unjustified jail was proven to be false, and Skuller was released from jail. This instantly sparked motivation throughout the whole group of GS. With This unjail, GS would soon be able to build the super farms they were once known for building. SkullerG was instantly brought to the base by _Goujon_ the exact same day. The first thing SkullerG did was bring his villagers back to the base that has survived every single base grief. These villagers were kept safe by ostrich1414, Skuller’s long time sim friend. These villagers were discontinued as every member in GS unlocked the 1 emerald trade with them. Not having many emeralds, Gsmack, 4Pilot and iLxgend would beg SkullerG to build their old raid farm. Everything was turning up for the good.
Current
GS Trading Co. is just as powerful as before. With huge mega farms done like nether perimeters, stacking raid farms, several gold farms, and much more, GS officially rose back up to power, stronger as ever. The base was named by Yukarion as it has so many items at the base, and it was his initial reaction to the place. Currently, GS is 100% active at the base with progress being done everyday adding onto their wealth. No pictures of the base have been shared to the public as of now.
