Ostrich1414 was a player and former admin who joined the server on December 27th, 2013. He was noteworthy for being the server's only black player and one of its most frequent AFK players, as well as a dedicated Masshole and cynical shitposter with a self-deprecation problem.<br />
<br />
On October 16th, 2023, ostrich1414 would intentionally build and use a carpet duping machine in order to quit the server; he was subsequently jailed for duping and demoted. He has NOT regretted this decision one bit!<br />
<br />
Whatever you do, ''do not'' type /age ostrich1414 on SimPvP!<br />
<br />
=History=<br />
<br />
==The Worst Mistake I've Ever Made==<br />
<br />
On the cold, snowy day of December 27th, 2013, player ostrich1414 logged onto SimPvP with his friend PlayaSwoop9. Looking for a vanilla server to grief and destroy people's work, the two headed away from the mangled mess of [[Spawn]], but didn't get far; they both died various times due to lack of food.<br />
<br />
At the time, ostrich1414 and PlayaSwoop9 were noobs and had no idea how to play Minecraft at all; they had both just recently gotten the game for the first time.<br />
<br />
However, a miracle would soon arrive: [[DeflowVesper]], an admin, helped lead the two noobs to safety, bringing them to [[Castle Snowfrog]] where they indulged in hundreds of melons and built a small, cobblestone cube to live in within the castle's grounds.<br />
<br />
[[File:CS2018.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
PlayaSwoop9 later left the server and never returned, unimpressed by it. Ostrich1414, however, took a liking to it and stuck around Castle Snowfrog for a few weeks. Here, he developed a small friendship with snowfrog43 and helped to maintain the castle by farming and simply cleaning it up a bit.<br />
<br />
==Alliance with Pippenger==<br />
<br />
One day while in Castle Snowfrog, ostrich1414 began a conversation in the chat with a player named [[Pippenger]]. After talking for a few hours, where he educated ostrich1414 on Minecraft basics, Pippenger invited him to a base he was currently working on, known simply as "[[The Stomping Ground]]". Ostrich1414 traveled there and met up with Pippenger, who was working on the base alongside [[Mr._Hole_Digger]]. Construction on the base began around January 2014.<br />
<br />
Pippenger was very kind to ostrich1414, giving him the freedom to build whatever he wanted and a limitless supply of tools and materials for his creations. With these, ostrich1414 built a shitty house on the edge of a bay: his first "major" build on the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:SGI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Early that same year, ostrich1414 collaborated with pippenger once again, as well as Cdnam5, as they built [[Uinia]], a large castle near spawn; they also founded "The Noobtree Foundation", a short-lived organization dedicated to assisting new players and repairing spawn.<br />
<br />
[[File:UiniaIII.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==A Journey of Self==<br />
<br />
When The Stomping Ground began to dissolve and Uinia was completed, and work in general was slowed to an abrupt end, Pippenger left to tend to other bases while ostrich1414 decided to set out on his own. He eventually landed on a small island nearby spawn, where he constructed yet another shitty, unfinished cobblestone house. He stayed on this island for a short time, working on his appalling base by himself. The remnants of this base can still be seen today at x=13166 z=1795.<br />
<br />
While here, Pippenger asked him yet again to join his newest base: [[Stonetown]]. Ostrich1414 was eager to come and help and immediately departed from his island base, heading towards Stonetown.<br />
<br />
==Stonetown, Wilbur, and His Brief Hiatus==<br />
<br />
At Stonetown, ostrich1414 was able to grow into a much better player and builder. At this time, around early to mid-2014, ostrich1414 helped in the construction of a small town outside of a massive dome made out of dirt and covered in trees; using Pippenger's [[Imperial Architecture]], ostrich1414 was able to strengthen his building skills and constructed many of the town's buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014, ostrich1414 attempted to get the achievement "When Pigs Fly". He was trying to complete many of the existing Minecraft achievements and this seemed like one he could easily do. Grabbing a pig, whom he named "[[Wilbur]]", ostrich1414 headed to the top of the tree dome and climbed on top of Wilbur. The two fell to their death and all that remained was Wilbur's saddle and the carrot-on-a-stick. The brutal murder of Wilbur sparked outrage throughout the server, and a memorial was constructed in both Stonetown and in /world by ostrich1414. A secret cult, known as "[[The Order of Wilbur]]", was later established, and its headquarters remained in Stonetown. Not much is known about this secretive organization.<br />
<br />
When construction in Stonetown began to slow down and its members moved on to other things, ostrich1414 went on a brief hiatus, unsure if he would ever rejoin again.<br />
<br />
==He's Back! (feat. Hiatus, Part II)==<br />
<br />
In early 2015, ostrich1414 rejoined SimPvP. Pippenger, ever so kind to him, invited ostrich1414 to his newest base: [[Virunum]]. Ostrich1414 made the long journey there, eager to reunite with his former teammates and begin work on a brand-new base, possibly the biggest one yet. He eventually landed in a small village suburb just outside of the planned city's location; this village was a walled-in area made predominantly out of granite blocks. Here, ostrich1414 stayed as he prepared himself for the next big build.<br />
<br />
While at Virunum, ostrich1414 only ever completed one building, the shitty house shown below:<br />
<br />
[[File:Ostrich1414sHouse.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
It wasn't long before ostrich1414 went on hiatus yet again. However, unlike before, this was a much longer hiatus: he left the server in mid-2015 and did not return until January of 2017. During his absence, ostrich1414 fucked nine million bitches and snorted 57 lines of cocaine daily.<br />
<br />
==A New Era of ostrich1414==<br />
<br />
In January of 2017, ostrich1414 finally returned to the server. He came to realize that he had missed a lot of things: a major war, the building (and griefing) of Virunum, and even Pippenger's official retirement from the game. Determined to stay put on the server and leave an impact on it, ostrich1414 returned to Stonetown briefly to get back in shape for playing yet again. Reuniting with old friends and explaining his desire to stay, ostrich1414 set out, yet again, on a journey to build a new base.<br />
<br />
He later settled on a fair-sized Mushroom Island biome in the middle of the ocean. As he set up base there, he recruited [[Z33VN]] to come and help him construct this new base: a base built in the honor of Pippenger, using his signature Imperial Architecture style. This base, known as "[[Quinsigamond]]", grew very quickly as ostrich1414 recruited his longtime ally and friend [[JavelinFury]], as well as players Elystriana and KellyEKelly. Quinsigamond eventually became a hub of history, serving as an exhibition to the hard work and dedication that the longtime players of SimPvP have contributed to the server; this city became a living memorial to these players and their history.<br />
<br />
[[File:QuinsigamondSkyline.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Creating a Capital==<br />
<br />
After Quinsigamond's completion, ostrich1414 and JavelinFury began their newest project: a massive city known as "[[Monarchia]]". Monarchia was to become the capital city for the Remembrance, a new clan founded by the two themselves. The goal of this clan was to preserve and protect SimPvP's rich history and culture, and it was understood that this team of players needed a much larger city to headquarter their efforts. Joined by their close ally [[clipchip]], the three began to work on Monarchia as they prepared to establish a capital for the server's newest clan and a much larger city, made up of various distinct districts; this was ostrich1414's largest project to date, and it was this moment when he realized that, despite Pippenger's departure from the server, maybe he was capable of reclaiming this former glory and establishing an empire of his own. With Quinsigamond complete, the Remembrance growing, and Monarchia in the works ostrich1414 was becoming more involved in the society of the server than ever before.<br />
<br />
[[File:MonarchiaSkyline2017.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The United Alliance==<br />
<br />
In June of 2017, ostrich1414 received a surprise when Pippenger, using his alt [[Porkington]], returned to the server after a long hiatus (one that even rivals ostrich1414's). This event, as well as several other minor factors, prompted ostrich1414 and JavelinFury to fully reform the Remembrance and shift its focus and organization. This change saw the creation of the [[United Alliance]], a new clan which put ostrich1414 as its leader. The United Alliance, or UA, grew very quickly as new recruits were taken in almost daily and a surplus of bases were gained under its control throughout the server. Ostrich1414, who had never been the leader of such a large clan before, quickly felt the pressure and was forced to curb his dictatorial urges of authority and genocide. Meanwhile, he would focus on infrastructure, recruitment, and community production as he attempted to mirror the image of his mentor, Pippenger.<br />
<br />
==The War of Monarchia and Surrender==<br />
Though the next few months of the UA's existence were very progressive and bountiful, reaching its peak membership and involved with a vast assortment of affiliated bases, things began to turn sour when clipchip officially left the UA on August 22nd, 2017. Tensions between him and the UA only worsened, and he soon established "Clipiiii's Gang" following his departure.<br />
<br />
[[File:WarOfMonarchia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
From September 27th, 2017 to October 6th, 2017, the United Alliance and Clipiiii's Gang were engaged in a war fought entirely on Monarchia, known as the [[War of Monarchia]]. The war was declared by ostrich1414 himself after several acts of aggression from clipchip, who threatened the UA's progression and Monarchia's sovereignty. Though the war resulted in multiple deaths and an array of damage and destruction, it ultimately ended in peace as ostrich1414 officially surrendered to Clipiiii's Gang on October 6th, ending the War of Monarchia.<br />
<br />
After this date, ostrich1414 formally resigned from his position as Leader of the United Alliance and gave full control of the organization to clipchip, who later used its foundations to establish a new, modified clan, [[The Royal Allegiance]]. Under this treaty, clipchip had also gained control of all of the UA's bases, including ostrich1414's creations, Quinsigamond and Monarchia. The war and its results took a deep toll on ostrich1414 as he soon became semi-active and would tend to AFK frequently, though clipchip still allowed him to build in Monarchia and other such bases under the title of his personal indentured servant.<br />
<br />
==A New League==<br />
<br />
Secretly, behind the scenes, ostrich1414 and his close ally Porkington had been plotting the results of the War of Monarchia all along: after ostrich1414 resigned from the United Alliance and gave control over to clipchip, ostrich1414 and Porkington would move onto a new base as they began to plan a new clan of their own. Under the guise of being an RA member, ostrich1414 and Porkington began to work together on their new base, "[[Estevez]]", or "Vez" for short: a massive underground complex consisting of various farms, domes and halls, beginning in October of 2017. The two eventually recruited [[Master_Xybot]], their fellow ally and former UA member, and the three worked tirelessly on Estevez as they began secretly plotting theirs.<br />
<br />
[[File:EstevezDome.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the midst of construction at Estevez, ostrich1414 founded another newer base for the team, named [[Struthio]]. Though much smaller in size than Estevez, Struthio was unique as it was a small coastal savannah town consisting entirely of acacia wood and stone brick, and the town's layout itself was modeled after ostrich1414's own Quinsigamond due to its congestion in such a small land area. Struthio also contained various villager farms nearby, as well as the later Hall of Vatlos, a colossal structure which ostrich1414 and Porkington began work on in December 2017.<br />
<br />
[[File:DowntownStruthio.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 also began to work around spawn more frequently this time, taking part in much smaller bases, including [[Oberstein]] and [[Grasstle]]. These bases came with the sole intent to spread the team's influence near spawn and to draw new players and prepare them for their career in the server, hoping to breed a new generation of SimPvP players and teammates. Using his alt OstrichsGayAlt at Oberstein and frequently visiting Grasstle to assist newcomers, ostrich1414 made it a new goal of his to reach out to new players and give them hope, reminiscent of his mission while in the UA.<br />
<br />
[[File:Oberstein1.png|400px]] [[File:GrasstleOverview.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On January 5th, 2018, the three co-founders finally decided on a team name: [[The League]]. After announcing this publicly to the server, all three players officially withdrew from the Royal Allegiance, and ostrich1414 was finally able to focus solely on his work for the League, no longer being secretive or suspicious.<br />
<br />
==Times of Turbulence==<br />
<br />
Upon withdrawing from the RA, ostrich1414 and his League companions drew much controversy and criticism from their former RA allies, who were furious that they left. This anger was especially garnered by JavelinFury and clipchip, who openly denounced the League various times. Z33VN, Quinsigamond's co-founder, was also furious upon ostrich1414's departure. Despite this, ostrich1414 maintained his status as an active member of the League, working on various team projects, all the while attempting to mend the fractured relationship between him and his RA allies.<br />
<br />
On January 19th, 2018, Quinsigamond suffered from a minor griefing incident in which one of the city's main towers was covered in lava. Though there was very little damage and the griefing was far from destructive, it still sent a warning to ostrich1414 that one of his former allies may be after him, especially one who had access to Quinsigamond. Although he was unable to discover the culprit behind the act, clipchip and Z33VN were seen as the prime suspects, though both have denied participating in the incident. Despite this, all players saw the griefing as a response to the formation of the League and ostrich1414's departure from the RA.<br />
<br />
[[File:QuinsiGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the next two months that followed, war appeared to be imminent as [[The Cold War]] commenced. The League and the Royal Allegiance were rarely on good terms, and the two teams barely cooperated or respected each other. Both JavelinFury and clipchip claimed to have discovered Pippenger's city [[Ascaris]], which severely lowered the League's morale and struck fear among many, especially ostrich1414 and Pippenger himself. Later on, the RA city of Monarchia was severely griefed and looted by an unknown player, and the act was denounced by both teams; however, as no one knew who conducted the griefing, players from both teams attempted to frame each other in order to favor themselves. Coupled with these events, the RA frequently claimed to be constructing weapons of mass destruction which would destroy the League, and the League would also make threats, expressing a desire to cripple the already-declining RA.<br />
<br />
By mid-March 2018, nothing major seemed to occur, a war was never declared. Ostrich1414, due to increased boredom, disinterest, and "IRL" obligations, as well as fear and anxiety on the server, began to play less and less, logging on very infrequently and AFK-ing more than playing. His last major project on the server before his frequent inactivity was the city of [[Majula]], which he constructed with Porkington, [[Sir_Phenhex]] and CranberryWarrior. However, this did not last very long, and ostrich1414 began to severely decline in activity, possibly hinting at a third hiatus from the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:Majula1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Taking it Easy==<br />
<br />
After abandoning Majula in March due to a suspected infiltration, as well as dealing with other issues in real life, ostrich1414's inactivity turned to a (very) short hiatus. From mid-March to late-June 2018, as the Cold War reached its end, ostrich1414 failed to return to the server and remained inactive. However, by late June, ostrich1414 had once again returned, this time with the goal of "taking it easy". Rather than returning with a "boom" like he had the last time he returned from a hiatus, ostrich1414 decided to focus on helping others, rather than himself.<br />
<br />
Around late June, ostrich1414 invited [[Sengorn_Leopard]], a new ally of his and pippenger's, to Quinsigamond. From Quinsigamond, ostrich1414 then transferred Sengorn_Leopard to Struthio, where he remained for a longer period of time. Ostrich1414 became a mentor-of-sorts to Sengorn_Leopard, briefing him on the culture and history of SimPvP that he had come to learn and love. Though Struthio had remained stagnant for months, Sengorn-Leopard's arrival revived it, and the base once again flourished with new projects and architecture.<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 was eventually invited to join the base [[Java Linsghey]] in July 2018; here, he assisted his longtime allies, such as JavelinFury, clipchip, and [[MisterStrawman]], among others. Ostrich1414 built the [[Get Clip A Girlfriend]] National Headquarters, providing the organization he had founded in 2017 with a legitimate physical office. However, ostrich1414 was not as regularly active at Java Linsghey as he was at previous bases, and it soon fell relatively stale. Because of this, shortly thereafter, ostrich1414 was invited to yet another base, this time [[Tol Honeth]], by JavelinFury and clipchip once again in August 2018. Though he was becoming immersed in the server's current events once more, he failed to be as active or as aggressive as he once was, and decided that it was time to enjoy the moments while they lasted.<br />
<br />
[[File:JavaLinsgheySkyline.png|400px]] [[File:TolHoneth1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414's Renaissance==<br />
<br />
By late-August 2018, ostrich1414 had shifted most of his focus onto Struthio, the small coastal town he had founded with the League. Though he had largely abandoned it since early 2018 due to his hiatus, he gained a renewed interest in it due to Sengorn_Leopard's arrival. Here, Sengorn_Leopard began constructing a large, complex structure known as "Aether Tower", which promptly turned his "temporary" stay at Struthio into a permanent one. Sengorn-Leopard's interest in building up Struthio greatly influenced ostrich1414, who worked alongside him as the two added many new buildings and farms to the city. Thus, this became the beginning of Struthio's Renaissance, the rebirth of the previously neglected base, which witnessed a massive growth of its peninsula area. Porkington and ostrich1414 also completed the Hall of Vatlos, having put it on hold prior to Struthio's Renaissance.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioNewI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Much of this rebuilding of Struthio came as a response to pippenger's own desire to greatly expand his base [[Ascaris]], claiming it to be the largest, most vast city on SimPvP. Thus, ostrich1414, Sengorn_Leopard and pippenger entered a friendly competition with each other as both Struthio and Ascaris tried to outgrow the other in terms of size and complexity, a rivalry jokingly referred to as the beginning of "The Vast Age".<br />
<br />
On September 28th, 2018, ostrich1414 officially announced his departure from the League, with himself and Porkington later deciding to disband the team altogether. As ostrich1414 wanted to solely focus on Struthio, and pippenger on Ascaris, with the team itself becoming largely dormant and irrelevant, the two decided that there was no logical reason to continue the League's goals and objectives, but, rather, to remain teamless and focus on expanding SimPvP's existing bases.<br />
<br />
Not long after, in October 2018, ostrich1414 and Porkington continued their expansion of Oberstein, their mountainous town near spawn. This was done in anticipation of the 2018 version of the spawn map (found here: [https://simplicitypvp.net/maps/#simpvp2018/0/3/0/0/64]), which was set to release the following month in November. Along with greatly increasing Oberstein's size, the two also collaborated on [[Glowstone Tower]], a massive nearby tower that reached up to the height limit.<br />
<br />
[[File:ObI.png|400px]] [[File:GlowstoneTower1.png|200px]]<br />
<br />
==Adjusting to an Ever-Changing Landscape==<br />
<br />
On November 1st, 2018, ostrich1414 hosted the first-ever [[Server Party at Quinsigamond]], an event that would soon become infamous. After making Quinsigamond a public base that same day, releasing coordinates for all to access and connecting it to the nether highway, he hosted a party at the city, prompting ten other players to join him in celebration. However, things soon went awry when [[Sellout9]], one of the guests, began mercilessly attacking some of the players. An all-out massacre soon arose as all players began fighting each other, resulting in many deaths and lost valuables. Quinsigamond itself was affected, with some of the city destroyed and in ruins, as well as looted and raided. Nevertheless, Quinsigamond still stands today, open to the public, and the memory of the crazy event of the Server Party became a highlight of the year.<br />
<br />
[[File:SPQ2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
When 1.13 came around in mid-November, things changed forever as SimPvP was altered in many ways. The server became much laggier and slower, and dozens of farms were destroyed and/or modified. This would eventually result in a full-scale upgrade, forcing the server's admin [[Yukarion]] to create a temporary map as the main map updated in the background. On the temporary map, beginning on December 5th, 2018, ostrich1414 started from scratch and soon formed an alliance and base of operations with other players. Here, ostrich1414, along with these teammates, launched an all-out war against all pro-phantomers (those who supported the addition of phantoms in 1.13) loosely referred to as "The Phantom Wars". All pro-phantomer bases and players were griefed and killed respectively, resulting in ostrich1414's own base being destroyed in response by them. Once the main map returned on December 11th, this was later resolved peacefully.<br />
<br />
[[File:PhantomWars.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
1.13's updates and the close to 2018 brought many changes to SimPvP and ostrich1414 as a whole, especially regarding Struthio, his main base of focus. Ostrich1414 had invited new players to join the city, all the while watching it quickly grow as Struthio's Renaissance continued. 1.13 had destroyed a few of Struthio's farms, forcing them to redo many of them; the greatest example of this is the destruction of Struthio's first wither farm, forcing the players to begin construction on a new farm, resulting in the second iteration becoming much larger and more complex. Struthio's emergence as a power-player within the server's politics and social climate was also becoming apparent, and ostrich1414's presence as the city founder and a forefront player allowed him to sway many of the decisions occurring there. Many of these decisions included the annexation and colonization of [[Bapadia]] on November 9th, 2018, a focus on mentoring new players and giving them positions, and attempting to strengthen alliances with other players in an attempt to build prominence.<br />
<br />
[[File:COB2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==An Explosive Growth==<br />
<br />
As SimPvP entered 2019, ostrich1414 found himself in the midst of a massively-changing culture and community: by January alone, the player count had nearly doubled, and dozens of new players were joining, more than the server had seen in a long time. Ostrich1414 recognized this change in server popularity and decided to utilize it for himself; on January 18th, 2019, ostrich1414 would perpetrate the first major event of the year: the Takeover of [[Fort Cranberry]]. Ostrich1414 annexed and colonized Fort Cranberry for Struthio, much like he did for Bapadia, and placed [[talksalot011]] and AaronRC93 in charge of the colony. Furthermore, he ordered several new players living at the fort to place kill its owner, [[CranberryWarrior]], on sight. What resulted were a series of battles between CranberryWarrior and ostrich1414's colonial army, ultimately resulting in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:FC2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, things would soon sour as a group of griefers, known as #TeamYMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]], joined the server in an attempt to launch various griefing and raiding campaigns on its many spawn bases. The first of these campaign's were YMP's raid on [[Novus Castle]] on February 16th, 2019. [[Cmlove]], who built the castle, requested backup to assist in fighting back the attackers, and ostrich1414 was one of the many players to join the counter-attack. However, despite being in fully-maxxed out diamond gear with god weapons, ostrich1414 was slain by JacksTheReaper, a member of YMP, which ultimately resulted in the raid on Novus Castle being a victory for the griefing team. Ironically enough, YMP would later grief Fort Cranberry the next day, ending ostrich1414's second official colony.<br />
<br />
[[File:NovusCastleGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these instances of intense strife and destruction, 2019 also served as a year of positive growth and change for ostrich1414. His city Struthio was skyrocketing as both a world power and a wealthy, vast city, its skyline becoming iconic. Ostrich1414 invited various new members to Struthio, and by April 2019, the city had grown significantly in both size, wealth, power and membership. Players such as [[CrackyJoe]], clipchip and [[DakkaDok]] would soon assist at Struthio, and even Master_Xybot returned from his hiatus in February to help build once again. Porkington, however, would later quit the city, enraged by his perceived lack of respect there.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioSkylineApril.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, ostrich1414 would also become the co-founder of a new city, a sort-of side project of his to Struthio. This city was named [[Florestria]], which he co-founded with [[SkykirryChycho]] on February 20th, 2019. What began as a small, quiet lakeside community quickly grew into a much larger city, with various farms, buildings and towers dotting the skyline. Ostrich1414 used Florestria as a city to build relationships with newer SimPvP players, a stark contrast to Struthio's makeup of older players.<br />
<br />
[[File:FlorestriaApril19.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
During the first few months of 2019, especially due to the explosive growth in player count, ostrich1414 found himself establishing several formal relationships with other teams and bases. Struthio and [[Triterrus]] formed an official alliance as sister cities, and Struthio and [[Nos Aeterna]] also formed an alliance, with DakkaDok even arriving at Struthio to build an embassy. Struthio and [[Ishtar]] formed an alliance (prior to its grief), and Struthio and Florestria shared embassies as well. Struthio and [[New Bapadia]] found themselves forming an alliance, with ostrich1414 mending his relationship with Bapada63 after the incident at Bapadia. Ostrich1414 himself also increased his number of affiliations and alliances, trying to build a new reputation as a trading power.<br />
<br />
==Shit Goes Down==<br />
<br />
By the middle of spring 2019, ostrich1414 was able to experience both of his cities, Struthio and Florestria, prosper to their fullest as they progressed exponentially. Each city was gaining several new members, farms and buildings almost weekly. However, behind the scenes, things were not going very well diplomatically: in April 2019, Struthio had been discovered by a group known as "Passione", which included [[Brusa95]], [[Chris_cord]] and [[trppbll]]. While ostrich1414 was allied and on good terms with Passione, there was one player whom they were allied with that would prove to be detrimental to the city: [[Antzakes1]].<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioDiscovery2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Due to a series of pre-existing tensions (which included ambushes in /world and the raid of Java Linsghey), Antzakes1 immediately began threatening Struthio's safety upon being invited there by Passione. Realizing the city was already compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Struthians began to form plans on what to do next: the declaration of war was seriously being considered, while plans for a new city in a new location was also considered. Regardless, tensions would only worsen: it was discovered that [[AntHand]], a member of Florestria, had sold that city's coordinates to Antzakes1 for Struthio's coordinates, which now meant that Antzakes1 had access to two of ostrich1414's most important cities, which doubled the threats. Enraged at AntHand, as well as feeling betrayed, ostrich1414 decided to enact revenge on him. On May 9th, while AntHand was AFK in Florestria's gunpowder farm, ostrich1414 laced the area with TNT and blew him up, killing him instantaneously and destroying all of his drops. Ostrich1414 immediately fled from Florestria after.<br />
<br />
[[File:AntHandAttack1.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, AntHand and ostrich1414 apologized to each other and made up, realizing that Antzakes1 had manipulated them into quarreling with each other. While plans for an all-out war against Antzakes1 continued, both Struthio and Florestria ultimately decided to move on and simply ignore Antzakes1. Both cities decided to fully start from scratch as several members from each flocked to new locations, while Antzakes1 ultimately went on hiatus. Unfortunately, [[TheOnlySlash]] would leak Struthio's coordinates to the public, which ultimately resulted in the city being griefed by jared2013 on June 3rd, 2019, resulting in the end of ostrich1414's greatest city yet. Florestria, meanwhile, would survive, albeit fully abandoned.<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414 IV: A New Hope==<br />
<br />
Despite the countless setbacks of the Antzakes1 Crisis, ostrich1414 emerged stronger than ever. By June 2019, he was heavily involved in three major cities: [[Nos Aeterna]], [[Yittrium]] and [[Segoria]] (the Big 3).<br />
<br />
Previously, ostrich1414 had been invited to [[DakkaDok]]'s city, Nos Aeterna, in mid-April 2019. Due to the city's immense distance from spawn and its lack of portal connections, ostrich1414 sent a new alt, XXXOstrichtacion, to live and work at the city. While he would not be heavily active here, ostrich1414 did assist Nos Aeterna's growth in several ways, including building a skyscraper in honor of Struthio, helping to organize the city's brand-new storage facility, and fixing several farms. Two other former Struthians, Sengorn_Leopard and CrackyJoe, were also invited alongside ostrich1414.<br />
<br />
[[File:NosAeternaSkylineJuly.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Yittrium was the immediate follow-up of Florestria. After Florestria was compromised and abandoned in May 2019, ostrich1414 and the rest of its members fled to a new location significantly farther out, forming the city of Yittrium. Unlike Florestria, which was a quiet, lowkey lakeside community, Yittrium was a massive metropolis with several highrises and large-scale builds. Yittrium was directly influenced by Struthio's modern-city aesthetic, featuring a very imposing skyline.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumSkylineAugust.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Segoria, the last of the Big 3 for ostrich1414, was a follow-up city for Struthio. Segoria's location had actually been discovered and claimed by Sengorn_Leopard during Struthio's prime, but it was essentially reserved only in the occasion that the city fell; Segoria was a back-up plot for a new start. Thus, after Struthio was compromised, several key members of the city fled to the new location, Segoria, in May 2019. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would not be very active here: he had sent his alt OstrichsCoolAlt to live at Segoria while he focused heavily on Yittrium, but many of Segoria's members helped grow the city into a large medieval base with several palaces, temples and statues.<br />
<br />
[[File:Segoria2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of these three cities, ostrich1414 had been involved in the server in other smaller ways. He established the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] in March 2019, but really progressed it by May. The CAB served as an alliance between several powerful and wealthy cities, three of which ostrich1414 was involved at. Furthermore, ostrich1414 would engage in several small-scale battles. The first of these was the Battle of Knee Mo, which took place in Yittrium on May 31st. This occurred after AntHand accidentally killed one of [[MoWobbler]]'s fish in a public fountain, resulting in an all-out violent battle. The second battle was the [[Battle of Quagsmaria]], which pitted ostrich1414 and TheOnlySlash against [[Lord1]] and Cocoaboa. After ostrich1414 tried to annex the base [[Quagsmaria]] on July 6th, 2019 with TheOnlySlash, Lord1 attempted to take it back from them; this ultimately resulted in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
==A Second Modern Metropolis==<br />
<br />
Much of 2019 consisted of ostrich1414 working extensively on his city Yittrium. From its inception in May to the end of the year, Yittrium became ostrich1414's sole project, as he allocated much of his time here. In fact, Yittrium, in many ways, was a sequel to Struthio, ostrich1414's last major city: both Yittrium and Struthio were massive modern metropolises with large, active playerbases, all contributing new buildings every week. However, Yittrium was slowly but surely overtaking Struthio in terms of size, shape, wealth and power - this was ostrich1414's greatest base yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumAtNightOctober2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 himself constructed many of the builds at Yittrium, helping define the city's dense, modern feel. However, the other members of Yittrium were equally as vital to its success: players like AntHand, MoWobbler, [[cheesy_chips22]] and more helped grow and shape the city, especially in terms of its industrial wealth. In fact, Yittrium easily became ostrich1414's richest city: "god sets" were able to be manufactured quickly and efficiently, the iron farm was overflowing, and the raid farm, ostrich1414's first farm at the city, produced lots of Totems of Undying. Furthermore, ostrich1414 was able to secure his first truly successful colony with Yittrium: on October 23rd, 2019, he annexed Dylan_Roof's base [[Coon Town]], a base which gave Yittrium access to much-needed villager trades, two mob farms and a gold farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:CoonTown1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
October 17th - November 18th was a notable period of 2019 for ostrich1414, as he was heavily involved in the religious, ideological crusade known as "[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]]". On October 17th, ostrich1414, on behalf of [[The Order of Wilbur]], declared war on the [[Church of Francis]]; in response, its leader, Lord1, declared war on the Order of Wilbur. This war would easily become the bloodiest, most violent war in SimPvP history, featuring a plethora of large-scale battles and ambushes.<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleOfMonarchia1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the leader of the Order of the Wilbur and the Wilburian Army in general, ostrich1414 organized several of the battles that took place. Most notably, ostrich1414 took part in the Battle of Monarchia, the largest battle in server history to-date: a total of 19 players showed up, with 18 active soldiers fighting altogether. Ostrich1414 was involved with all the battles of the war, except for the last, the Battle of [[Syracusai]]. Nevertheless, he was able to secure several military victories for the Order of Wilbur, getting several kills (and experiencing several deaths as well). The war in itself was not only very violent, seeing active combat regularly, but was also very resource-heavy: at Yittrium, ostrich1414 and his team were forced to manufacture dozens of potions, gear and Totems of Undying for the war effort. This effort payed off, as the Order of Wilbur was successful in several battles, most notably the battles of Java Linsghey, Snowfrog, Monarchia and Syracusai.<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleOfAndromeda.png|400px]] [[File:WilburianAmryVictory.png|400px]] [[File:MonarchiaVictory1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After the Battle of Syracusai, on November 18th, Lord1 officially surrendered to the Order of Wilbur on behalf of the Church of Francis, ending the war and resulting in an Order of Wilbur victory. Later that night, ostrich1414 organized a peace conference and victory celebration in [[Verillium]], reviewing and accepting terms of surrender with Lord1 and celebrating his team's victory with the soldiers who helped achieve it. The Holy-Wilbur Francis War was ostrich1414's second war he had partaken in on the server, but it was easily his most successful and eventful.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 1.png|400px]] [[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Postwar Depression==<br />
<br />
While the Holy Wilbur-Francis War had ended in a victory, ostrich1414 would be unaware of just how tense and unpleasant the next few months on SimPvP would be for him and the players around him. Almost immediately after the war's end, another war had begun: the [[Intervention War]], declared by the [[Bloc for Clans]] (which ostrich1414 was in at the time) due to perceived long-term hostilities shown by both the [[Shadow Mcmafia]] and [[The Dominion]]. While the Intervention War would not have massive, organized battles like the war before it, the Intervention War was comprised of a series of smaller PvP battles, skirmishes and terror attacks, making it difficult for players to move around safely. While a member of the BC, ostrich1414 would not take part in this war, remaining neutral due to his friendliness with both belligerents involved in the war. Nonetheless, it killed many of his allies and threatened several of his bases, setting the tone for a tense period of time.<br />
<br />
On December 8th, 2019, due to the Bloc for Clans announcing their plans on annexing [[Ascaris]], ostrich1414 rushed to the city and claimed a large portion of the land for Yittrium in fear that the city would be primarily used for an advantage during the Intervention War, wanting to ensure its safety. Yittrium and the BC both agreed to divide the city in half and share it - unfortunately, a week later, Ascaris would be severely griefed by an unknown player, which many believe to be a consequence of the Intervention War.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ascaris Colonization.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, ostrich1414 had a threat of his own at Yittrium, as the city increasingly become less safe and more unstable. The Shadow Mcmafia had been threatening it for months, but the likelihood of the city being either raided or griefed became a serious topic as the player count increased and the safety and security decreased. By December 2019, Yittrium was entering the stages of a dying city: its members were rarely active, only using it for its abundance of farms. In fact, during this time, between late November and early December, ostrich1414 moved on to a solo project (which quickly grew into a massive multi-player project), establishing [[Craftablia]] on November 23rd. Made up of multiple chunks of crafting tables laid on the ground, many of which were donated by [[SFR]] and Sengorn_Leopard, ostrich1414 utilized Craftablia as an escape from Yittrium, feeling little motivation to build at his home city due to the many reasons mentioned prior. Ultimately, Craftablia would be abandoned as well, and soon discovered by a new player.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ostrich1414 at Craftablia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By late December 2019 - early January 2020, ostrich1414 was growing dissatisfied and depressed with his time on SimPvP. His bases were being active and abandoned, the Intervention War was consuming the efforts of his allies, and he was lacking motivation in general. His long-time portal hub had recently been made public, and the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] had disbanded due to inactivity. At this time, he would assist [[cmlove]] with two bases: first, [[The Foxhole]], which only lasted a few weeks until it was griefed on December 19th, and [[Vulpes Den]], a base he founded with cmlove shortly after the Foxhole was griefed. The two bases shared a common theme, being underground complexes with a nature inspiration - nonetheless, ostrich1414's growing boredom and lack of motivation rendered his activities here unproductive, and he would ultimately leave Vulpes Den soon after.<br />
<br />
[[File:Vulpes Den 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After a few days of inactivity and boredom, ostrich1414 officially left SimPvP for a short hiatus on January 5th, 2020. Needing some time for a break, ostrich1414's hiatus would prove detrimental to his in-game city: that same day, Yittrium was severely raided by [[Byzantium]] due to internal issues they had with fellow member [[TonTheKidRS]], forcing the city's members to abandon it for good. Unaware of this at the time, ostrich1414 assumed that he would not be back for a few months, as his postwar depression made playing on SimPvP a chore, rather than a fun activity.<br />
<br />
During his hiatus, ostrich1414 played a fuckton of Bed Wars on Hypixel.<br />
<br />
==He's Back, Baby!==<br />
<br />
While ostrich1414 was gone, a political dispute unrelated to the ongoing Intervention War was brewing in the city of [[Sigil]], known as [[The Sigil Conflict]]. This issue involved many of ostrich1414's allies, as Lord1, on behalf of the Church of Francis, used a perceived lack of religious freedom to bar Wilburians from certain areas of the city, practically overtaking the city for his own. Tensions reached their climax when Lord1 killed [[nddragoon]] and GummyBearz14, as well as launching an unofficial crusade against the Francillian doubters of Sigil; the base was now unsafe as violence brewed, and the coordinates had been leaked. Ostrich1414, who was repeatedly DM'd on Discord about this, decided it was time to return: on January 17th, 2020, ostrich1414 traveled to Sigil and griefed the Church of Francis temple in retaliation for their actions towards the Wilburians and innocent Sigil civilians. Ostrich1414 then began to attack Lord1 and Cutman as a short battle ensued, although this was later dissolved as an armistice was declared.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the toll this conflict took on the city of Sigil and relations between Lord1 and other BC members, the Sigil Conflict had actually proven to be vital for ostrich1414: it renewed his interest in the server, bringing excitement and thrill back into the game for him.<br />
<br />
This was made even more clear when, literally a day later, [[The Second Siege]] began, also known as "The Hispanic Panic". This was a server-wide event initiated in response to the growing threat that a [[MrCramYT]], a Spanish YouTuber with over 50,000 subscribers, would make a video on SimPvP that would ultimately bring an influx of players online and make the lag and playability even worse than it already was. Thus, despite the many instances of strife and war on the server, everyone unified together despite their differences and began to work together and make spawn impenetrable, ensuring that new players could not leave it. In fact, TheOnlySlash (who had organized the Second Siege) made ostrich1414 a member of the Inner Council of the event, and ostrich1414 played a major role in bringing forth more players to the cause. Ultimately, the Second Siege was successful in stopping MrCramYT from making the video, and the event as a whole became the largest gathering of SimPvP players at one location in server history.<br />
<br />
[[File:Siege II Group 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Once again, ostrich1414 was back and reinvigorated, happy to be playing on SimPvP again after the excitement of mid-January.<br />
<br />
==Return to Form: War and Peace==<br />
<br />
By mid-January, there were still two major issues plaguing ostrich1414: he was both poor and homeless, primarily due to the loss of Yittrium. As such, he decided to establish a brand-new megacity on January 24th, 2020, known as the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], or "Wilburia" for short. Wilburia would be the first official base created specifically by and for the Order of Wilbur, nearly six years after the religion was formed. While Wilburia was originally meant to be a solo project, ostrich1414 later invited a small group of devout Wilburians: [[Zepheron]], cheesy_chips22 and Porkington. The city grew rapidly, constructing a sizable, respectable city square by February 2020.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia February 7.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike Struthio, Florestria or Yittrium before it, Wilburia's strength was its small team. With only four players, three of which were primarily active, Wilburia quickly became one of the wealthiest and most powerful bases on SimPvP. Several skyscrapers, three major megastructures, and high-quality farms ranging from a gold farm, totem farm, and gunpowder farm would be constructed between January and April. Ostrich1414 had finally risen out of the ashes, becoming a wealthy player once more and no longer relying on feeding off of the rotten corpse of Yittrium.<br />
<br />
Of course, the time between January - early-April 2020 had its major incidents. Perhaps the most important event was [[The Byzantium War]], a war which ostrich1414 himself officially declared on February 23rd, 2020. The Byzantium War began way back in January 5th, when the members of Byzantium first raided Yittrium. While ostrich1414 and his former teammates were angered by this, they decided to move on. It wasn't until February when the members of Byzantium began mocking them for it that tensions truly began to rise. [[Passaconaway]] renamed his alt account to "RIPYittrium2020", and later leaked the city's coordiantes on that same account. This incident is what truly sparked the beginnings of the war, leading ostrich1414 to recruit a few loyalists and raid Byzantium's former base, Triterrus, in response.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Raid.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By February 23rd, the war truly picked up. With tensions rising and anger and mockery consuming the chat, ostrich1414 and his allies returned to Triterrus, this time severely and irreparably griefing it. War was immediately declared between Byzantium and "New Israel" (the informal name given to ostrich1414 and his allies), and the Byzantium War would be known as a war of griefing. Not long after the grief of Triterrus, Byzantium would severely grief Yittrium on February 25th, as well as later griefing Antzakes1's invisible base on March 28th. While these three major griefings would mark the severity of the war, no actual battles took place, and fighting was brought to a minimum, leaving much of the war empty and inactive.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, things would soon die down for the Byzantium War. Two major peace conferences took place: the Quinsigamond Peace Conference on February 27th, and the Turtle Beach Peace Conference on March 29th. The first of the two was only between ostrich1414, [[VetoTheNeato]] and Byzantium, but the second was between the major parties of New Israel and Byzantium, bringing the war to an end. It was decided that there would be no "winners" or "losers" of the war, and that all parties would move on peacefully, as well as to forgive each other for the atrocities that occurred. With the Byzantium War now ending, ostrich1414 was a veteran of three wars. While not as violent as the War of Monarchia or the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Byzantium War was the first war where ostrich1414 had truly felt anger and betrayal.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Peace Conference 1.png|400px]] [[File:Peace Conference 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of working on his city Wilburia and partaking in the Byzantium War, ostrich1414 engaged in other activities as well, typically related to diplomatic relations. Ostrich1414 was one of the many participants of the [[Simpvp Summit]] on February 23rd, representing his city Wilburia. He was also forced to confess to the griefing of [[North Koria (Base)]], later reconciling with [[Korijenkins]] at the Struthian-North Korian Peace Summit on February 3rd. In early March, ostrich1414 participated in #WitherWeek at Segoria, assisting his Segorian allies in finally finishing the massive wither skeleton farm they had started in 2018. Ostrich1414 was also a soldier during the very short Second Invasion of [[Lordtopia]] on April 9th, although he was blown up by an end crystal within less than a minute of battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Struthian-North Korian Peace Summit.png|400px]] [[File:WitherWeek.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important moment of January-April 2020 for ostrich1414 was when he became the newest official admin of SimPvP on February 28th, 2020. For many years, Yukarion, DakkaDok and MisterStrawman had been the only admins on the server, but their decreasing activity had led to the pursuit of a new admin. Ostrich1414's vast playtime, experience and activity on SimPvP led him to become a prime candidate, and eventually, led to him becoming the fourth active admin.<br />
<br />
==A Man Both Jaded and Weary==<br />
<br />
As the year 2020 proved to be a chaotic one, ironically both in SimPvP and in real life, ostrich1414 found himself once again growing exhausted and unmotivated. Although the end of the Byzantium War had promised ostrich1414 a new period to focus on his blossoming city, Wilburia, things would not be as pleasant as he originally envisioned. Nonetheless, between April to mid-May, Wilburia became one of ostrich1414's greatest cities to date: a city of high quality, wealth, power, and grandeur. Motivated by the flaws and pitfalls of his previous two megacities, Struthio and Yittrium, the one thing maintaining his interest in SimPvP was the growth of Wilburia.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between April 15th and April 16th, a sudden crisis would occur that once again threatened peace and stability: [[The Stonetown Incident]]. After attempting to annex Stonetown on behalf of Wilburia, primarily due to its historic and religious significance, ostrich1414 was "betrayed" by Porkington after he instead gave the deed to Stonetown to Lord1. Soon after, Lord1 annexed Stonetown and converted it into a Francillian colony -- something ostrich1414 was strongly against due to Stonetown's stance as the base where the Order of Wilbur was founded. This resulted in Wilburia taking back Stonetown, threatening the Francillians, and a back-and-forth ensued: each group would remove the other's decorations and temporarily occupy the land. In fact, this crisis got so heated that it almost led to yet another Holy Wilbur-Francis War, and both sides were gearing for battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, neither ostrich1414 nor Lord1 truly wanted ''another'' war. After attending a peace treaty to ease tensions, ostrich1414 was confronted by a sudden imposing and outlandish questions by Lord1, in which he asked: "Are you CranberryWarrior?" Although this may have seemed like a bizarre question to ask by most players, it was not; ostrich1414 admitted that he was indeed CranberryWarrior, and had been since 2017. Ostrich1414 had been using CranberryWarrior behind-the-scenes as a secret alt account, using it to infiltrate other groups and bases, and to gather information. Some of these groups included [[The Fellowship]], [[Asguard]], North Koria, and Lord1's own Church of Francis. Using CranberryWarrior, ostrich1414 had insided as a loyal Francillian since the summer of 2019; now, in April 2020, he was officially exposed. In return for the distrust he had caused, ostrich1414 gifted Lord1 with the CranberryWarrior account, and Lord1 turned it into a brand-new alt for himself, Lard2.<br />
<br />
[[File:CranberryWarrior Last Words.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
After almost entering yet another war and exposing his secret alt account, the final blow would occur for ostrich1414 that led him to enter a state of hopelessness and non-inspiration on May 6th, 2020. For a few weeks prior, the members of Wilburia, especially ostrich1414 himself, had suspicions that AntHand and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] had access to their city. Unfortunately, these suspicions were revealed to be true: on May 6th, both egnaroky and AntHand showed up to Wilburia in person, declaring that they were incorporating the city into their new "Caudicean Empire". This angered ostrich1414 severely, who felt both betrayed by his allies and sickened that he was losing yet another megacity, his third in a row.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Their city now compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Wilburians abandoned the city entirely, only using it sparingly for farms and resources. Tensions between the Caudices and the rest of the server would only worsen when they proceeded to annex [[Takyon]], Wilburia's sister city which ostrich1414 had very close relations with. In his final act of disobedience against the Caudices, ostrich1414 attended a server party at Takyon on May 8th where dozens of players toured the city one last time before severely griefing it. This also resulted in a minor skirmish between themselves and the Caudices, to no avail.<br />
<br />
[[File:Takyon Party 1.png|400px]] [[File:Takyon Party 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By mid-May, ostrich1414 was jaded, weary, exhausted, and most of all, demotivated. The loss of Wilburia felt more routine than devastating, as he had lost Struthio and Yittrium before it. Ostrich1414 also felt displaced in the new server environment, which became increasingly tense and angry; wars were far more common now, and strife and drama occurred at a much more alarming rate. Needing to take a break from SimPvP for a while, ostrich1414 departed on yet another one of his frequent hiatuses, only logging on periodically for server maintenance, hoping to focus on real life.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, real life sucked too (2020 was kind of a lame year, ngl).<br />
<br />
==Searching for Meaning==<br />
<br />
After the Wilburia incident, ostrich1414 didn't log on for much of May or June, only properly returning to the server in late June. His first major step back into the server life was his brief participation at the Second SimPvP Summit on June 20th, although even this was very short-lived. Ostrich1414 had become severely unmotivated and uninspired, with no main base to his name and no direction. Fortunately, this mentality was somewhat remedied with his induction into [[The Republic]]--a brand new team with the goal of decreasing Lord1's influence on SimPvP, as well as the Church of Francis as a whole. The Republic also aimed to focus on public works projects at and around spawn, improving the environment for all.<br />
<br />
Of course, an entire team largely targetting one player has disastrous effects. On June 23rd, several members of the Republic griefed Two Words, the Church of Francis' primary base. Ostrich1414, while not a part of the grief, was considered a major suspect for leaking it due to his knowledge of the coordinates thanks to CranberryWarrior. The grief, and this rumor, would ultimately lead Lord1 and [[Wawuwiva]] to target and grief ostrich1414's longest-lasting base on SimPvP, Stonetown. That same day, on June 23rd, Stonetown was mercilessly griefed and destroyed, ending its six year lifespan.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although dismayed and saddened by this loss, ostrich1414 urged himself to continue playing on SimPvP and supporting the Republic's endeavors. On July 13th, ostrich1414 began a brand-new solo project: a unique landmark called [[Inferno]]. Inspired by places like Craftablia and [[The Graveyard]], Inferno consisted of a specifically-placed pattern of 3-block-high netherrack pillars, with fire lit on top of each of them, covering an entire landmass. Inferno was constructed with no other goal in mind than creating yet another unique spawn landmark for players to enjoy, and to boost the Republic's image as more of a public works group. Ostrich1414 also participated in another Republic-affiliated public works project, this time assisting 4Pilot and Zepheron in repairing the public end portal area.<br />
<br />

<br />
Despite his lack of motivation to work on yet another base, ostrich1414 was ironically invited to three new bases during this period: Shakatak Mycelia on June 23rd, [[Exultia]] on June 29th, and [[Belgium]] on July 21st. At Shakatak Mycelia, ostrich1414 was inducted into the base's primary team, [[Shakatak]], organized by [[Burger_Malone]]. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would be very inactive here, primarily due to his lack of motivation and skillset required to build in the town's architectural standard. The same would go for Exultia, yet another base ostrich1414 participated at very minimally. In Exultia's case however, the base would not last very long; there was an overwhelming sense of burnout and inactivity within the entire base population, resulting in many members, including ostrich1414, to respectfully drop out near the end of the summer. Of these three bases, Belgium would be ostrich1414's most active participation--although even this was somewhat minimal. Joining the [[North Koria (Clan)]] alongside TheOnlySlash, Korijenkins, and [[HedgehogMind]], ostrich1414 assisted in some large scale projects at Belgium, primarily related to base expansion.<br />
<br />

<br />
Perhaps the moment that truly brought ostrich1414 back into the SimPvP mindset, and reintroducing his inspiration to play, was his participation in SKRT, or the Sim Kast Removal Team. Starting on August 23rd, 2020, the Sim Kast Removal Team was founded by the [[GS Trading Co.]] in order to completely renovate and repair spawn after years of abuse, destruction, and lavacasting. Ever since 2019, spawn had been suffocated by intense lavacasts, so the massive organized team of SKRT worked around the clock to dismantle these features using various methods, from TNT dupers to mining to simple TNT placement. Several SKRT members also focused on draining much of the water cubes that had been left over from Operation Moist Boiz I and II, trying to dry out spawn. After only a week of renovation, SKRT's goals were a resounding success: spawn was completely different than it had been before, with much more space around the protected zone. This was the moment where ostrich1414 truly became engaged with the server yet again.<br />
<br />
[[File:SKRT Crew.png|400px]] [[File:Revamped Spawn.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the summer began to dwindle and lead into fall, ostrich1414 became more active on SimPvP and participated in a myriad of smaller events. On August 7th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron became two of the many players to participate in the glitch abuse of [[Dragon Eggs]], each obtaining a dragon egg (although these were later destroyed due to a new ruling). On August 30th, ostrich1414 was also one of the founding members of [[Palau]], a short-lived base that only lasted around 24 minutes before it devolved into the chaotic Massacre of Palau when TheOnlySlash killed Qyburn_ and bedtrapped Paul358.<br />

<br />
==A Tale of Two Cities==<br />
<br />
While much of ostrich1414's 2020 summer had been characterized by a lack of motivation, disillusionment, and no real sense of purpose as a result of the Wilburia incident, things soon changed by the fall when he joined two brand new cities. In September, ostrich1414 co-founded [[Quabbin]], and in October, he joined [[Void City]]; both of these bases would become his primary sources of focus for the latter half of 2020.<br />
<br />
Quabbin was co-founded by ostrich1441 and AntHand on September 2nd after the two wanted to reunite and find a common ground after Wilburia, using the base as an excuse to warm relations. They were soon joined by egnaroky, MoWobbler, JESUS_warrior69, and cmlove. Much like ostrich1414's previous cities, specifically Struthio and Yittrium, Quabbin became yet another ever-growing megacity characterized by its modern aesthetic. Ostrich1414, once again motivated to build after months, began work on his signature modern cityscape, cultivating a unique skyline with several skyscrapers and farms in a central riverside island known as "Quabbin Center". Around him, the other Quabbin members created their own unique contributions, from MoWobbler's Sphere City to AntHand's Area 69 to cmlove's Zoo Wee Mama.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quabbin November 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
About a month after Quabbin, ostrich1414 formally joined his next base, Void City. Founded by Korijenkins on October 3rd, Void City is notable for being located in the End, and an unofficial expansion of the Belgium team. At Void City, ostrich1414 was also joined by Belgium regulars TheOnlySlash and HedgehogMind, as well as old allies he had not based with in years, including clipchip, JavelinFury, and dariepearjuicy. Void City features a cyberpunk aesthetic, using the End dimension as a juxtaposition for futuristic space-like builds and towers. Much like at Quabbin, ostrich1414 would construct several skyscrapers and farms here, using his knack for modern builds to the city's advantage.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void Citiots.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, Quabbin and Void City were not ostrich1414's only activities during this time. Between September and early December, ostrich1414 engaged in several battles, meet-ups, events, and spawn projects.<br />
<br />
In September, ostrich1414 engaged in two major battles. The first was the [[Battle of Swampland]] on September 15th, a classic Church of Francis versus Order of Wilbur battle, between Lord1, xexc, and [[James8B]] versus ostrich1414, MoWobbler, and [[ElectricChugg]]. While this battle would go on for over an hour, and ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were able to successfully defend themselves, the Order of Wilbur ultimately lost: ElectricChugg had been killed early in the battle, and after an hour or losing resources, the two remaining Wilburians were forced to flee. The second was the Battle of [[Suit's tower]] on September 29th, a spur-of-the-moment battle between Lord1, ostrich1414, and [[_Goujon_]] versus AntHand, Sellout9, and Cutman. Unlike the previous battle, this one was extremely short, with ostrich1414's emerging victorious within minutes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]] [[File:Battle of Suit's Tower.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On October 6th, ostrich1414 and a coalition of other players teamed up to grief [[Azpipia]], a spawn base partially created by Azdin. This was done in response to Azdin's negligent removal of several spawn landmarks, returning them to vanilla Minecraft terrain as if nothing had ever been built there. There were also several parties attended by ostrich1414, including [[Barrier Town]], Wassrïge Hólle Trei, and MoWobbler's Second Annual Halloween Tomb Event at Yittrium. Perhaps the highlight of these player get-togethers was the one year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, where ostrich1414 and several war veterans and Francillians/Wilburians met up in Verillium to reflect on the carnage that had occurred one year ago.<br />
<br />
[[File:Barrier Town 1.png|400px]] [[File:Holy War One Year 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On December 4th, ostrich1414, along with MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]], completed [[Suidae Temple]]: the Order of Wilbur's first major spawn temple. Rising from the depths of the ocean from a 3x3 circular grid, Suidae Temple was the first major act of the Order of Wilbur in months, and a fine addition to their collection of temples.<br />
<br />
[[File:Suidae Temple Shader 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, ostrich1414 participated in what would become one of the most violent, destructive wars in SimPvP history: [[The Imperial War]]. What began as a "larp" war for some soon devolved into an unprecedented arms race of destruction between the Church of Francis and the wartime-exclusive loose collective of players known as the People's Coalition, composed of numerous SimPvP teams united against the COF. While the ambush and murder of Sellout9 and SimCoin in early December 2020 would be the true catalyst for war, many players (including ostrich1414 himself) were growing frustrated with the COF's reign of imperialism and terror, with specific incidents like "Operation Red Terror" leaving a sour taste in their mouths, and the relentless ambushing of unaffiliated players began to wear thin. Ostrich1414 himself had a historic rivalry with the Church of Francis, and was thus propelled into the creation of the People's Coalition to fight against what they saw as a force detrimental to the server. On December 10th, 2020, the People's Coalition officially declared war on the Church of Francis, targeting and griefing two of their spawn bases: Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lakeside Lodge 1.png|400px]] [[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The first half of the Imperial War would largely be characterized by back-and-forth griefs of inactive, yet still prized, PC and COF affiliated bases, as well as various skirmishes and small guerrilla battles in both /world and spawn. The COF would grief some of ostrich1414's own former bases during this time, including [[New Oberstein]], Tol Honeth, and Florestria, as well as other smaller PC-affiliated bases. The PC would strike back, griefing Bitchport, RBC Spawn Base, and [[Swaglabs]]. Of course, much of the true action during this period of the war took place in /world, where countless skirmishes between PC and COF troops took place. While each side of the war had its own strengths and weaknesses, there seemed to be no clear winner in sight yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war, however, proved to be much more detrimental to both the participants on both sides, as well as the server itself. The first major controversy struck when the COF raided and griefed [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first major active base of the war to be targeted. This left countless PC members homeless, enraging them. Soon after, the YMP base Axetown was targeted by the COF. Wartime "battles" would decrease at this time, with fewer and fewer PC-COF combat; several PC members withdrew from the war for personal reasons while the COF attempted to negotiate peace, only to be turned down by the still-furious PC. Eventually, the next major base to fall would be at the hands of the PC on January 11th when they raided and annexed [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main base at the time. While this crippled any hope of an immediate peace, ostrich1414 found himself largely regretting the decision after partaking in it, viewing the ongoing war as an unwinnable vacuum of destruction for both sides simultaneously.<br />
<br />
[[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The last base to be targeted during the war, [[Pepe's Holy Land]], was raided and annexed by the PC shortly before true peace negotiations began to take place. Soldiers on both sides of the war were growing weary and distraught with its outcome; numerous active, impressive bases like GFC and Three Words were falling, and they felt that more were to come if the crisis continued. While the PC had previously rejected the COF's negotiations, they once again attempted to agree to mutual terms by mid-to-late January, with ostrich1414 himself spearheading the peace talks between himself, AntHand, Lord1, Tenced, and CrackyJoe. Finally, after days of negotiating, both the PC and the COF were able to come to an agreement: on January 28th, 2021, the two once-warring teams decided to come together and officially declare peace, ending the Imperial War for good. A small peace conference was held at Gibraltar Castle (one of the first bases to be griefed during the war) where representatives from both sides met and signed treaties. After well over a month of destruction, chaos, and hatred, another major war had ended...yet some tensions remained.<br />
<br />
[[File:Imperial War Peace 1.png|400px]] [[File:Imperial War Peace 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Pain.==<br />
<br />
By the end of the Imperial War, ostrich1414 was at his lowest in terms of lack of motivation, lack of enthusiasm, disillusionment, and irritability. On January 19th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron were forced to grief the dormant remains of Wilburia after it was x-rayed a partially griefed by 39Y. Almost two weeks later, he, and the other members, were forced to abandon Quabbin as the city had become overrun with unaffiliated outsider players gaining access to coordinates, with some likely looking to damage the city as post-war retaliation. Furthermore, AntHand, ostrich1414's long-time ally, was embroiled in a massive controversy regarding the use of a wolf-tracking exploit with which he discovered Three Words, as well as Wilburia a year prior. Yukarion's decision not to punish AntHand left ostrich1414 in an uncomfortable position as an admin, and as a previous Three Words raider. Despite the war being over, ostrich1414 was drained.<br />
<br />
Of course, post-Imperial War life was not all that bad. On February 4th, ostrich1414 was invited to join GS Trading Co.'s main base, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]], which he arrived at after permanently departing from Quabbin. Sternenfall Nochmal was notable for the vast array of high-powered farms it possessed, from withers to obsidian to guardians to gold. However, Sternenfall Nochmal also had a growing urban sector, with many of its members constructing soaring skyscrapers and other city structures. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would never truly build much at Sternenfall Nochmal, instead focusing on his budding map art obsession and assisting with farm-related projects. Ostrich1414 also spent some time at Void City again, finishing his long-dormant wool farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Skuller Sternenfall Nochmal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, ostrich1414's major project during this period of time would be [[Riverwood]]: a small town established specifically for new players, recruiting them and getting them started with gear and materials. Founded by ostrich1414 on February 15th, the town prospered for the next two weeks, housing over a dozen brand new players who contributed to its growing expansion. Largely utilizing Imperial Architecture as its primary build style, Riverwood would become ostrich1414's sole focus for most of February as he assisted many new players in getting them started on the server. Soon afterwards, The Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis decided to use Riverwood as an opportunity to make peace and spread unity, both constructing temples in the town and, for once, living in harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately by March 2021, Riverwood would decline in activity, and so would ostrich1414. His duties as admin had been largely outweighing his regular playtime, and, simply put, he had lost his passion for the server. Upon Riverwood's stagnation, ostrich1414 largely focused on building map arts, assisting others with small projects, or attending the occasional server event. On March 20th, 2021, ostrich1414 would help train MoWobbler as the newest SimPvP admin, a position which ostrich1414 himself pushed for. Ostrich1414 would also host the server's very first [[Map Art Competition]] throughout this month, with voting being held on April 1st. In total, thirteen map arts would be submitted, and forty-seven people would vote, making this competition a huge success. Ostrich1414 himself had even submitted an entry, "Portland Head Light", which came in second place.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Mo Admin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By early April, ostrich1414 was mentally drained. His latest project had been [[Iron Block]], a literal 32x32 floating cube of iron blocks near spawn, built out of boredom. He had been invited to revisit Three Words upon the base's restoration thanks to the [[Base Restoration Policy]], finally making amends with its members, although the incident still haunted him. Furthermore, ostrich1414 had no clear inspiration or ambition to continue with anything else, with his last project on the server being a refurbishment of a public spawn/end spawn portal with [[willowienal]]. On April 6th, 2021, ostrich1414 decided that it was best to take an extended hiatus and return to SimPvP when he was once again motivated and rejuvenated, marking this as yet another entry in his long list of hiatuses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Iron Block 1.png|400px]] [[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Pain.<br />
<br />
==Disillusionment.==<br />
<br />
So uh, that "hiatus" only lasted around a week. Awkward.<br />
<br />
After this week-long break, ostrich1414 would return to SimPvP, feeling slightly more motivated to play than he had prior to his departure. However, he was not as enthusiastic to play the server as he had once been months, or even years ago, and decided to lean in to a more casual approach of playing SimPvP. Around this time, ostrich1414's old ally cheesy_chips22 had finally returned from his own hiatus, and the two instantly reunited as they pondered the idea of starting a new Wilburian base, as they had worked together on Wilburia in 2020. Thus, on April 19th, 2021, the city of [[São Porco]] was officially founded: this would become the newest headquarters for the Order of Wilbur in their goal to reconstruct themselves and become much more active again. Numerous Wilburian members and allies would be invited to the city, including many former Quabbin and GFC members. Unlike many of ostrich1414's other bases, São Porco would embody a Brazilian-inspired theme, featuring tropical villages, favelas, hilly coasts, and cityscape inspired by the likes of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Ostrich1414 himself would assist cheesy_chips22 in the construction of the city's favelas and villages, shying away from his usual modern style and going for a more unique South American rustic influence in building.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco July 23 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Aside from his new project at São Porco, ostrich1414 would focus on more fun and casual events throughout the next few months on SimPvP. The server's 10 year anniversary would arrive on April 23rd, 2021, with ostrich1414 hosting a still-life museum in the events world, showcasing dioramas of many past wars in the server's history. A few days later on May 2nd, 2021, he would also host the Server Party at Quabbin, a follow-up to his previous Server Party at Quinsigamond back in 2018. The party at Quabbin would become one of the largest gatherings of players in server history, with 27 people showing up to the abandoned city of Quabbin (with ostrich1414 public revealing the coordinates for all to access). While the party would largely run smoothly, OperatorUltra's arrival would result in the deaths of a few party guests, including ostrich1414 himself, and a minor battle taking place. Later, on May 5th, ostrich1414 would be invited to the base Dreamscape by SkullerG, a small medieval-inspired village at the world border. Although his activity here would be minor and temporary, he nonetheless managed to construct two buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Server Party at Quabbin Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Server Party at Quabbin 2.png|400px]] [[File:ostrich1414 Dreamscape.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Arguably the most important event during this time period would occur on June 7th, 2021 when, after over two years of being bitter rivals who had been to war twice, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis (then still the Holy States of Francis) officially became allies together. This was a historic peace agreement as both Wilburians and Francillians had been notorious enemies on the server for years, but their post-Imperial War relations had become much more cordial as there proved to be no real benefit to their rivalry in this new era. A large peace summit between the two parties was held as representatives from both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis showed up to discuss terms of peace and alliance, steps for the future, and finally to sign a historic treaty of mutual partnership, with ostrich1414 and Lord1 signing on behalf of their respective parties. Finally, these once-rivals were friends.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COF Summit 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these monumental events, all was not well for ostrich1414. He was once again growing tired of SimPvP; unmotivated, disinterested, and disillusioned. By this point, he was beginning to notice a pattern in his lack of enjoyment for the server he had called "home" for almost seven years now; times have changed, and he was growing more cynical and unhappy. Much of this negativity was directly derived from ostrich1414's position as SimPvP's most active admin, a title he had been privately irritated by for months. Wanting to return to a more casual playstyle free from the stress and responsibilities of adminship, ostrich1414 submitted a two-week's notice to Yukarion in June 2021, and later resigned on July 7th. After serving as an admin for over a year, ostrich1414 had found that the once-coveted title had degraded him down to a shell of his former self. SimPvP was becoming less and less enjoyable, and the increasing toxicity and bitterness raging throughout the server was a major turn-off. Finally a regular player again, ostrich1414 became less active on the server as he focused on smaller projects here and there, from map arts to minor work around São Porco. Still, despite his depressive state worsening, his resignation as admin had lifted a major weight off of his shoulders.<br />
<br />
[[File:ostrich1414 Last Day as Admin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Degredation.==<br />
<br />
As the server further descended into chaotic toxicity and immorality, ostrich1414's own enjoyment of the server would be continuously tested and regressed. Much of this was due to a heated drama brewing within the server, a drama which ostrich1414 would be reluctantly dragged into. By July 22nd, 2021, the Order of Wilbur would forge an official three-part alliance with the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co., establishing the [[G.S.F.W.]] super-alliance. However, the Order of Wilbur's newfound diplomatic association with these two groups would involve it in an increasingly bitter rivalry with YMP; a few weeks earlier, the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co. had griefed Cope Town, a base in which two YMP members lived. However, even earlier than this, YMP had griefed Riverwood, the OOW and COF's joint spawn base. As such, the OOW would be dragged into this conflict, a conflict which would be made official when, on August 23rd, YMP griefed Sternenfall Nochmal--GS Trading Co.'s second main base which ostrich1414 had been a member of--and declared war against all three members of the G.S.F.W. Later that same day, ostrich1414 would participate in the raid and grief of Skyreach in retaliation for Sternenfall Nochmal. Still, despite this, ostrich1414 would participate very little in the ensuing conflict; on behalf of the OOW, he refused to recognize the "war", and even made attempts to stall aggression and even forge friendliness. One of these attempted acts of avoiding war was his peace conference with [[Nikoxlas]], the leader of the [[Confederacy of Man]] (which, at the time, was also at war with the COF), in order to forge an alliance with the OOW and eventually make peace; unfortunately, this attempt failed.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COM Conference.png|400px]] [[File:Skyreach Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the conflict, dubbed "The Big War" by YMP, continued, ostrich1414 attempted to further isolate himself from it, despite his clear affiliation with the G.S.F.W. Still, the drama was inescapable. One of the members of São Porco, [[bruno_vera]], was also a YMP member--a fact that made the rest of the city's members nervous due to YMP's obsession with griefing it. Ostrich1414, like many other São Porco members, felt that the city's demise was inevitable, and thus preferred to take its destruction into their own hands rather than by a rival group like YMP. Thus, on August 28th, ostrich1414 and several other Wilburians self-griefed São Porco after having raided it, preventing YMP from doing any damage to the city. Unfortunately, the worst of the conflict was yet to come; on September 21st, GS Base #3 (GS's main base at the time) was raided and destroyed by YMP after having been leaked by [[Redbaron1991]], prompting much of GS to leave the server or take a hiatus. By this point in time, ostrich1414 had almost completely isolated himself from the conflict, having no interest in the drama or politics at play, and, instead, wishing to be left alone. Still, he was saddened by GS's departure from SimPvP, as he had forged a long-term alliance with them for over a year.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the grief of São Porco and the very destructive conflict with YMP, ostrich1414 would still find time to enjoy himself on SimPvP--with what little enjoyment he had left. On August 21st, along with [[AntiFreezeFluid]], ostrich1414 founded the city of [[Gosnold]], an island base located roughly 7k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the city grew to be massive, and ostrich1414 invited every member of the Order of Wilbur and several members of the COF and GS. For a little over a month, Gosnold would flourish into a huge megacity, complete with skyscrapers, temples, and a massive offshore statue. Of course, due to only being 7k from spawn, ostrich1414 knew that Gosnold would not last very long, and he was proven correct when, on October 1st, it was severely griefed by [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]]. Other than Gosnold, ostrich1414 would also help found the more permanent city of [[New Yittrium]], the direct successor to São Porco. Shortly after self-griefing São Porco, ostrich1414 and a few of its active remaining members--MoWobbler, cheesy_chips22, willowienal, ElectricChugg, and [[GentleGiant69]]--would move to this new city and establish several farms and buildings, quickly replacing what had been destroyed at their previous base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold Boolin.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would begin to decline in activity at both New Yittrium and on the server in general, instead logging on periodically to explore spawn bases or to AFK at farms. With very little interest or incentive to keep playing, ostrich1414 felt that both the server's climate, and his previous enjoyment of it, had been degraded by meaningless conflict. Much like the outcomes of every other SimPvP war, ostrich1414 was once again plunged into a state of disillusionment, although this time, it had been a brewing disillusionment that had reached its climax thanks to the commonality of toxicity and the mass exodus of server regulars. In his eyes, SimPvP was entering another dark age.<br />
<br />
==Things are Looking Up==<br />
<br />
By mid October 2021, ostrich1414 felt that both he, and the server at large, where in one of its lowest points in history. Sick of the drama, toxicity, hatred, and disgust that was running amok on SimPvP, ostrich1414 felt that it was finally time for a change in scenery. On October 17th, he and willoweinal would discover the server Uneasy Vanilla, a semi-anarchy Minecraft server very similar to SimPvP, but with a much friendlier community than what SimPvP had at the time. Immediately falling in love with the server, ostrich1414 would slowly invite more and more SimPvP players to Uneasy Vanilla, building up a large group known as the "Dirty Moss Boys", establishing several bases, and forming relations with many UV regulars. However, after playing on UV for a month, an incident would occur at ostrich1414's main base when the server's admin unlawfully removed their obsidian farm; this severe act of blatant admin abuse angered him and his basemates, and they soon returned to SimPvP by mid November 2021.<br />
<br />
By the time ostrich1414 had returned from his month-long break, some things had changed. One of the players most responsible for the server's hostile toxicity had been jailed, and the conflict between YMP and the G.S.F.W. had largely ended. Furthermore, ostrich1414's experience with blatant admin abuse on UV made him realize that SimPvP was truly the server for him, and he once again became motivated to regularly play. This time, however, ostrich1414 would make a vow of relative neutrality; the conflict with YMP had severely demoralized him, and he did not wish to repeat it again. Instead, ostrich1414 made it his goal to focus on rebuilding and rebranding the Order of Wilbur, which had also suffered from the conflict. Deciding they wanted to instead focus on building, especially spawn projects, ostrich1414 and GentleGiant69 devised a plan to construct massive obsidian statues using their large reserve of obsidian at New Yittrium. Thus, the Order of Wilbur's first obsidian statue would be that of a T-rex on November 23rd; a day later, they would construct the [[Snail]], a massive obsidian snail near spawn. The Snail in particular would become one of the defining moments of the Order of Wilbur's reformation, and the project drew dozens of players to help aid in its construction. The Snail would be completed roughly two days later, consisting of 177,000 blocks of solid obsidian. Although the large project drew its fair share of conflict--including a few battles and an eventual lavacast--the Snail was nonetheless a success in terms of spwan projects, and the beginning of both ostrich1414 and the OOW's return to form.<br />
<br />

<br />
As the OOW grew, adding more members and emphasizing a focus on spawn work, ostrich1414 also found himself starting a new base that would be handled by the group. On November 27th, several players that ostrich1414 had met on Uneasy Vanilla joined SimPvP, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Alongside [[LidGuy]], ostrich1414 brought them far out to a new location, where they eventually settled and founded the city of [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become a unique base, with its membership mostly composed of players who had played Uneasy Vanilla for some significant time; it soon became an affiliate base of the Order of Wilbur, and several other Wilburians were invited to join. Pangaea would flourish throughout the next few months, featuring a series of diverse styles of architecture and builds, from modern skyscrapers to medieval villages to rustic cabins to industrial farms. Ostrich1414 himself would invest heavily into Pangaea, constructing three skyscrapers and also building a sugar cane farm and a blaze farm.<br />
<br />

<br />
By December 2021, [[Laztec]]--the OOW's most recent member at the time--would propose the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign, in which he aimed to clean up and repair much of spawn through a variety of different methods. Ostrich1414 personally loved this idea, and felt that their first course of action should be the removal of spawn's excessive water flooding. Thus, the two began to pull together a team of players dedicated to removing spawn's laggy water, with Laztec constructing numerous flying machines capable of removing large amounts of water at once. By mid December, the MSGA had managed to remove a massive section of water at spawn thanks to these efforts.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between December 2021 and January 2022, ostrich1414's newfound lifestyle of peace and neutrality, emphasized by his focus on OOW projects, had led him to enjoy SimPvP more than he had months prior. On January 4th, 2022, the Order of Wilbur officially left the G.S.F.W. in order to focus on its new commitment to neutrality; only a few days later, both [[jake276493]] and [[MrNutInYourButt]] were jailed and banned for x-raying, removing the little conflict remaining for ostrich1414 and his group. Finally, it felt like things were looking up: the OOW was flourishing, and ostrich1414 was enjoying his time on the server, focusing on building up both Pangaea and New Yittrium, as well as the occasional spawn project with the OOW. SimPvP as a whole was also become far less toxic and dramatic than it had been before his month-long break, and, to ostrich1414, this felt like the beginning of a new era of harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:SimPvP New Year's Day 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Wholesome: 100==<br />
<br />
The first five months of 2022 quickly proved to be one of the most enjoyable periods of SimPvP for ostrich1414 in recent memory, thanks to the relatively peaceful state the server was in. During this time, ostrich1414 focused primarily on the growth and reformation of the Order of Wilbur, adding new members to the group and expanding its list of projects, from community work at spawn to base building. Ostrich1414 would once again assist Laztec with his MSGA campaign, helping to finish remove the massive water cube at spawn and destroy the many lavacasts at spawn using recently re-enabled TNT duping, as well as destroy the lavacast around the Snail and replacing it with a protective water cube. Furthermore, alongside TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22, ostrich1414 focused on establishing and expanding the Stonetown Memorial Hub, the OOW's private portal hub that features links to many old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. This project would persist over the course of several months, starting in January, with ostrich1414 adding new rooms and one-way portal links while TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22 helped him decorate.<br />
<br />

<br />
Ostrich1414 was also increasingly more active at his bases during early 2022, slowly regaining his motivation to build again after over a year of losing it. At New Yittrium, ostrich1414 focused on a project in which he flattened an entire savannah biome to one single y-level, then placing smooth stone slabs all over it. Inspired by the clear-cut borders of the location, ostrich1414 announced that his district at the base would become its own fully-independent, sovereign city-state known as the Republic of Wachusett. This sudden change soon inspired the rest of New Yittrium to do the same, with everyone establishing their own independent city-states and defining the international borders that separated them. This change to the base proved so great, in fact, that the members of New Yittrium decided to change its name to "Civitrium"; now, "New Yittrium" was just the name of MoWobbler's city-state, whereas "Civitrium" was the base as a whole. All the while, ostrich1414 would work on his own city-state, Wachusett, spending most of his time slabbing the flattened savannah and laying the groundwork for a new city atop it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Civitrium Gang February.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, he was also somewhat active at both Void City and Pangaea's successor, [[Kinabalu]]. At Void City, ostrich1414 would build for the first time in over a year, constructing a small apartment building originally designed by Korijenkins. Meanwhile, at Kinabalu, ostrich1414 would construct another one of his famous skyscrapers. Although his activity at Kinabalu would not be as great as at Civitrium's during this time, ostrich1414 had played a major role in founding the city back in February 2022, shortly after the abandonment of Pangaea due to poor security. Kinabalu, nonetheless, would flourish thanks to its many other active members, as would Void City, gaining a boost in building by April 2022.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void City April 9th.png|400px]] [[File:Early Kinabalu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Around this time, ostrich1414 would once again become majorly interested in basehunting, and spent much of April and May 2022 basehunting around the greater spawn region. In fact, much of the OOW was inspired to do the same, and the group had several large basehunting expeditions together. Ostrich1414 and his crew of basehunting Wilburians managed to discover many unique bases during this time, several of which had not been discovered yet. In fact, the Stonetown Memorial Hub that ostrich1414 had been working on would serve as a transportation / storage hub for particular basehunting endeavors.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Basehunting 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW Basehunting 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important event that would occur for ostrich1414 during this time was his reinstatement as admin on April 1st. Although he had originally not planned to ever return as admin again, he was persuaded to try once more by the other SimPvP admins, especially due to his difficulty of running the 2022 Map Art Competition as a non-admin. Nevertheless, the second-annual competition would once again prove to be a success, with eleven map arts being submitted in total and forty-four players coming to vote. Like last time, ostrich1414 would submit his own map art, ''Jules Winnfield'', which came in fourth place. Although ostrich1414 had strongly disliked being admin before, he found himself enjoying it far more this time, primarily due to the more "chill" atmosphere on SimPvP.<br />
<br />
[[File:2022 Map Art Competition Winners.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with a renewed love for SimPvP thanks to the friendlier environment, ostrich1414 found himself participating in several community events. He, along with several other Wilburians, were invited to the "3rd International Lord1 Day" on February 28th, hosted by the Church of Francis. He also aided GS Trading Co. with their removal of the lavacasts at end spawn, helping SkullerG hand-mine many of the lavacasts there over the course of a few months. He even took part in the small community spawn project run by SkullerG, known as "Fartopia", on May 6th. While ostrich1414 was far from being fully active and motivated, he was nonetheless enjoying SimPvP far more than he had in months, and was finally having fun again after nearly two years of server depression. It was truly Wholesome: 100 epic sauce fortnite Keanu Reeves (sorry).<br />
<br />

<br />
==Relapse into Stagnation==<br />
<br />
Although 2022 had been a significantly more enjoyable year for ostrich1414 overall, he once again found himself slipping into inactivity by the summer, an inactivity that only increased by the fall. While this inactivity was due to real life responsibilities rather than a disillusionment with SimPvP, it nonetheless resulted in a much slower decline in activity for ostrich1414. Still, he found himself partaking in many server events, particularly alongside the Order of Wilbur.<br />
<br />
July 2022 would be both ostrich1414 and the OOW's most important month of that summer. On July 10th, both ostrich1414 and Laztec founded [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's latest spawn base. Thanks to changes in build depth and terrain generation brought on by SimPvP's transition to 1.18, the group was able to build underneath bedrock at y=0 to create a floating base in the void, something that was not possible before. Shortly after its founding, numerous other Wilburians joined and Shadow Grove grew to become a modest, yet beautifully unique base. It would also take credit as the host the OOW's most important event of the year.<br />
<br />
[[File:Shadow Grove 1.png|400px]] [[File:Shadow Grove 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur officially celebrated its eight year anniversary, something it had been unable to do a year prior. The celebration occurred in two parts: first, all OOW members met in Stonetown, alongside their Church of Francis allies, to exchange gifts and partake in events. Second, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where they hosted an OOW-exclusive celebration. Ostrich1414 would gift each member an individualized, handwritten book, thanking them for all their help in growing the clan, and for making 2022 its best year yet. Afterwards, ostrich1414 and several other members would move on to the build server, where they partook in helping [[Nebuelaz]] test his upcoming event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]]. Having successfully founded and run an eight year old clan, ostrich1414 was truly satisfied to see how far the OOW had come, with this celebration being a highlight of his year.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW 8 Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the promising start of the summer, ostrich1414 soon fell into a period of stagnation, characterized by a new lack of motivation and inactivity. This time, however, it was not brought on by server drama or toxicity, but a general sense of disinterest in SimPvP, and real life responsibilities. Still, ostrich1414 made time for the server, finding himself participating in community events and projects here and there. Ostrich1414 would aid Laztec in his latest spawn effort, a large obsidian structure known as Terabyte, in early August. Alongside several other Wilburians, ostrich1414 helped place obsidian to produce yet another magnificent obsidian build. Later, on August 17th, ostrich1414 would surprisingly join GS Trading Co.'s new base, [[Wasted Disk Space (WDS)]], after being brought there at random by SkullerG (although he would not be active here for the rest of the year). He would also attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration within the Church of Francis, joining as a Wilburian diplomat.<br />
<br />
[[File:Terabyte 1.png|400px]] [[File:MrDavid99 COF Inaguration.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
From September to October, however, ostrich1414 was relatively inactive. At most, he would help out around his three main bases--Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City--and run the OOW behind the scenes. Aside from minor work here and there at these bases, ostrich1414 had a decline in interest, and less time, during these months. It wasn't until November when he would enter a month-long hiatus, not returning to SimPvP until early December. Ironically, this hiatus helped spark a renewed interest within him: ostrich1414 would find himself aiding [[dacegod863]] with his revitalization efforts at [[Fern Springs]], an abandoned OOW base that ostrich1414 himself had founded with TuataraBoots back in March 2022. Still, while things were going much better for ostrich1414, his interest in SimPvP had been steadily waning, only seeing him participate in major server events and projects.<br />

Ostrich1414 was a player and former admin who joined the server on December 27th, 2013. He was noteworthy for being the server's only black player and one of its most frequent AFK players, as well as a dedicated Masshole and cynical shitposter with a self-deprecation problem.<br />
<br />
On October 16th, 2023, ostrich1414 would intentionally build and use a carpet duping machine in order to quit the server; he was subsequently jailed for duping and demoted. He has NOT regretted this decision one bit!<br />

=History=<br />
<br />
==The Worst Mistake I've Ever Made==<br />
<br />
On the cold, snowy day of December 27th, 2013, player ostrich1414 logged onto SimPvP with his friend PlayaSwoop9. Looking for a vanilla server to grief and destroy people's work, the two headed away from the mangled mess of [[Spawn]], but didn't get far; they both died various times due to lack of food.<br />
<br />
At the time, ostrich1414 and PlayaSwoop9 were noobs and had no idea how to play Minecraft at all; they had both just recently gotten the game for the first time.<br />
<br />
However, a miracle would soon arrive: [[DeflowVesper]], an admin, helped lead the two noobs to safety, bringing them to [[Castle Snowfrog]] where they indulged in hundreds of melons and built a small, cobblestone cube to live in within the castle's grounds.<br />
<br />
[[File:CS2018.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
PlayaSwoop9 later left the server and never returned, unimpressed by it. Ostrich1414, however, took a liking to it and stuck around Castle Snowfrog for a few weeks. Here, he developed a small friendship with snowfrog43 and helped to maintain the castle by farming and simply cleaning it up a bit.<br />
<br />
==Alliance with Pippenger==<br />
<br />
One day while in Castle Snowfrog, ostrich1414 began a conversation in the chat with a player named [[Pippenger]]. After talking for a few hours, where he educated ostrich1414 on Minecraft basics, Pippenger invited him to a base he was currently working on, known simply as "[[The Stomping Ground]]". Ostrich1414 traveled there and met up with Pippenger, who was working on the base alongside [[Mr._Hole_Digger]]. Construction on the base began around January 2014.<br />
<br />
Pippenger was very kind to ostrich1414, giving him the freedom to build whatever he wanted and a limitless supply of tools and materials for his creations. With these, ostrich1414 built a shitty house on the edge of a bay: his first "major" build on the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:SGI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Early that same year, ostrich1414 collaborated with pippenger once again, as well as Cdnam5, as they built [[Uinia]], a large castle near spawn; they also founded "The Noobtree Foundation", a short-lived organization dedicated to assisting new players and repairing spawn.<br />
<br />
[[File:UiniaIII.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==A Journey of Self==<br />
<br />
When The Stomping Ground began to dissolve and Uinia was completed, and work in general was slowed to an abrupt end, Pippenger left to tend to other bases while ostrich1414 decided to set out on his own. He eventually landed on a small island nearby spawn, where he constructed yet another shitty, unfinished cobblestone house. He stayed on this island for a short time, working on his appalling base by himself. The remnants of this base can still be seen today at x=13166 z=1795.<br />
<br />
While here, Pippenger asked him yet again to join his newest base: [[Stonetown]]. Ostrich1414 was eager to come and help and immediately departed from his island base, heading towards Stonetown.<br />
<br />
==Stonetown, Wilbur, and His Brief Hiatus==<br />
<br />
At Stonetown, ostrich1414 was able to grow into a much better player and builder. At this time, around early to mid-2014, ostrich1414 helped in the construction of a small town outside of a massive dome made out of dirt and covered in trees; using Pippenger's [[Imperial Architecture]], ostrich1414 was able to strengthen his building skills and constructed many of the town's buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014, ostrich1414 attempted to get the achievement "When Pigs Fly". He was trying to complete many of the existing Minecraft achievements and this seemed like one he could easily do. Grabbing a pig, whom he named "[[Wilbur]]", ostrich1414 headed to the top of the tree dome and climbed on top of Wilbur. The two fell to their death and all that remained was Wilbur's saddle and the carrot-on-a-stick. The brutal murder of Wilbur sparked outrage throughout the server, and a memorial was constructed in both Stonetown and in /world by ostrich1414. A secret cult, known as "[[The Order of Wilbur]]", was later established, and its headquarters remained in Stonetown. Not much is known about this secretive organization.<br />
<br />
When construction in Stonetown began to slow down and its members moved on to other things, ostrich1414 went on a brief hiatus, unsure if he would ever rejoin again.<br />
<br />
==He's Back! (feat. Hiatus, Part II)==<br />
<br />
In early 2015, ostrich1414 rejoined SimPvP. Pippenger, ever so kind to him, invited ostrich1414 to his newest base: [[Virunum]]. Ostrich1414 made the long journey there, eager to reunite with his former teammates and begin work on a brand-new base, possibly the biggest one yet. He eventually landed in a small village suburb just outside of the planned city's location; this village was a walled-in area made predominantly out of granite blocks. Here, ostrich1414 stayed as he prepared himself for the next big build.<br />
<br />
While at Virunum, ostrich1414 only ever completed one building, the shitty house shown below:<br />
<br />
[[File:Ostrich1414sHouse.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
It wasn't long before ostrich1414 went on hiatus yet again. However, unlike before, this was a much longer hiatus: he left the server in mid-2015 and did not return until January of 2017. During his absence, ostrich1414 fucked nine million bitches and snorted 57 lines of cocaine daily.<br />
<br />
==A New Era of ostrich1414==<br />
<br />
In January of 2017, ostrich1414 finally returned to the server. He came to realize that he had missed a lot of things: a major war, the building (and griefing) of Virunum, and even Pippenger's official retirement from the game. Determined to stay put on the server and leave an impact on it, ostrich1414 returned to Stonetown briefly to get back in shape for playing yet again. Reuniting with old friends and explaining his desire to stay, ostrich1414 set out, yet again, on a journey to build a new base.<br />
<br />
He later settled on a fair-sized Mushroom Island biome in the middle of the ocean. As he set up base there, he recruited [[Z33VN]] to come and help him construct this new base: a base built in the honor of Pippenger, using his signature Imperial Architecture style. This base, known as "[[Quinsigamond]]", grew very quickly as ostrich1414 recruited his longtime ally and friend [[JavelinFury]], as well as players Elystriana and KellyEKelly. Quinsigamond eventually became a hub of history, serving as an exhibition to the hard work and dedication that the longtime players of SimPvP have contributed to the server; this city became a living memorial to these players and their history.<br />
<br />
[[File:QuinsigamondSkyline.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Creating a Capital==<br />
<br />
After Quinsigamond's completion, ostrich1414 and JavelinFury began their newest project: a massive city known as "[[Monarchia]]". Monarchia was to become the capital city for the Remembrance, a new clan founded by the two themselves. The goal of this clan was to preserve and protect SimPvP's rich history and culture, and it was understood that this team of players needed a much larger city to headquarter their efforts. Joined by their close ally [[clipchip]], the three began to work on Monarchia as they prepared to establish a capital for the server's newest clan and a much larger city, made up of various distinct districts; this was ostrich1414's largest project to date, and it was this moment when he realized that, despite Pippenger's departure from the server, maybe he was capable of reclaiming this former glory and establishing an empire of his own. With Quinsigamond complete, the Remembrance growing, and Monarchia in the works ostrich1414 was becoming more involved in the society of the server than ever before.<br />
<br />
[[File:MonarchiaSkyline2017.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The United Alliance==<br />
<br />
In June of 2017, ostrich1414 received a surprise when Pippenger, using his alt [[Porkington]], returned to the server after a long hiatus (one that even rivals ostrich1414's). This event, as well as several other minor factors, prompted ostrich1414 and JavelinFury to fully reform the Remembrance and shift its focus and organization. This change saw the creation of the [[United Alliance]], a new clan which put ostrich1414 as its leader. The United Alliance, or UA, grew very quickly as new recruits were taken in almost daily and a surplus of bases were gained under its control throughout the server. Ostrich1414, who had never been the leader of such a large clan before, quickly felt the pressure and was forced to curb his dictatorial urges of authority and genocide. Meanwhile, he would focus on infrastructure, recruitment, and community production as he attempted to mirror the image of his mentor, Pippenger.<br />
<br />
==The War of Monarchia and Surrender==<br />
Though the next few months of the UA's existence were very progressive and bountiful, reaching its peak membership and involved with a vast assortment of affiliated bases, things began to turn sour when clipchip officially left the UA on August 22nd, 2017. Tensions between him and the UA only worsened, and he soon established "Clipiiii's Gang" following his departure.<br />
<br />
[[File:WarOfMonarchia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
From September 27th, 2017 to October 6th, 2017, the United Alliance and Clipiiii's Gang were engaged in a war fought entirely on Monarchia, known as the [[War of Monarchia]]. The war was declared by ostrich1414 himself after several acts of aggression from clipchip, who threatened the UA's progression and Monarchia's sovereignty. Though the war resulted in multiple deaths and an array of damage and destruction, it ultimately ended in peace as ostrich1414 officially surrendered to Clipiiii's Gang on October 6th, ending the War of Monarchia.<br />
<br />
After this date, ostrich1414 formally resigned from his position as Leader of the United Alliance and gave full control of the organization to clipchip, who later used its foundations to establish a new, modified clan, [[The Royal Allegiance]]. Under this treaty, clipchip had also gained control of all of the UA's bases, including ostrich1414's creations, Quinsigamond and Monarchia. The war and its results took a deep toll on ostrich1414 as he soon became semi-active and would tend to AFK frequently, though clipchip still allowed him to build in Monarchia and other such bases under the title of his personal indentured servant.<br />
<br />
==A New League==<br />
<br />
Secretly, behind the scenes, ostrich1414 and his close ally Porkington had been plotting the results of the War of Monarchia all along: after ostrich1414 resigned from the United Alliance and gave control over to clipchip, ostrich1414 and Porkington would move onto a new base as they began to plan a new clan of their own. Under the guise of being an RA member, ostrich1414 and Porkington began to work together on their new base, "[[Estevez]]", or "Vez" for short: a massive underground complex consisting of various farms, domes and halls, beginning in October of 2017. The two eventually recruited [[Master_Xybot]], their fellow ally and former UA member, and the three worked tirelessly on Estevez as they began secretly plotting theirs.<br />
<br />
[[File:EstevezDome.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the midst of construction at Estevez, ostrich1414 founded another newer base for the team, named [[Struthio]]. Though much smaller in size than Estevez, Struthio was unique as it was a small coastal savannah town consisting entirely of acacia wood and stone brick, and the town's layout itself was modeled after ostrich1414's own Quinsigamond due to its congestion in such a small land area. Struthio also contained various villager farms nearby, as well as the later Hall of Vatlos, a colossal structure which ostrich1414 and Porkington began work on in December 2017.<br />
<br />
[[File:DowntownStruthio.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 also began to work around spawn more frequently this time, taking part in much smaller bases, including [[Oberstein]] and [[Grasstle]]. These bases came with the sole intent to spread the team's influence near spawn and to draw new players and prepare them for their career in the server, hoping to breed a new generation of SimPvP players and teammates. Using his alt OstrichsGayAlt at Oberstein and frequently visiting Grasstle to assist newcomers, ostrich1414 made it a new goal of his to reach out to new players and give them hope, reminiscent of his mission while in the UA.<br />
<br />
[[File:Oberstein1.png|400px]] [[File:GrasstleOverview.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On January 5th, 2018, the three co-founders finally decided on a team name: [[The League]]. After announcing this publicly to the server, all three players officially withdrew from the Royal Allegiance, and ostrich1414 was finally able to focus solely on his work for the League, no longer being secretive or suspicious.<br />
<br />
==Times of Turbulence==<br />
<br />
Upon withdrawing from the RA, ostrich1414 and his League companions drew much controversy and criticism from their former RA allies, who were furious that they left. This anger was especially garnered by JavelinFury and clipchip, who openly denounced the League various times. Z33VN, Quinsigamond's co-founder, was also furious upon ostrich1414's departure. Despite this, ostrich1414 maintained his status as an active member of the League, working on various team projects, all the while attempting to mend the fractured relationship between him and his RA allies.<br />
<br />
On January 19th, 2018, Quinsigamond suffered from a minor griefing incident in which one of the city's main towers was covered in lava. Though there was very little damage and the griefing was far from destructive, it still sent a warning to ostrich1414 that one of his former allies may be after him, especially one who had access to Quinsigamond. Although he was unable to discover the culprit behind the act, clipchip and Z33VN were seen as the prime suspects, though both have denied participating in the incident. Despite this, all players saw the griefing as a response to the formation of the League and ostrich1414's departure from the RA.<br />
<br />
[[File:QuinsiGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the next two months that followed, war appeared to be imminent as [[The Cold War]] commenced. The League and the Royal Allegiance were rarely on good terms, and the two teams barely cooperated or respected each other. Both JavelinFury and clipchip claimed to have discovered Pippenger's city [[Ascaris]], which severely lowered the League's morale and struck fear among many, especially ostrich1414 and Pippenger himself. Later on, the RA city of Monarchia was severely griefed and looted by an unknown player, and the act was denounced by both teams; however, as no one knew who conducted the griefing, players from both teams attempted to frame each other in order to favor themselves. Coupled with these events, the RA frequently claimed to be constructing weapons of mass destruction which would destroy the League, and the League would also make threats, expressing a desire to cripple the already-declining RA.<br />
<br />
By mid-March 2018, nothing major seemed to occur, a war was never declared. Ostrich1414, due to increased boredom, disinterest, and "IRL" obligations, as well as fear and anxiety on the server, began to play less and less, logging on very infrequently and AFK-ing more than playing. His last major project on the server before his frequent inactivity was the city of [[Majula]], which he constructed with Porkington, [[Sir_Phenhex]] and CranberryWarrior. However, this did not last very long, and ostrich1414 began to severely decline in activity, possibly hinting at a third hiatus from the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:Majula1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Taking it Easy==<br />
<br />
After abandoning Majula in March due to a suspected infiltration, as well as dealing with other issues in real life, ostrich1414's inactivity turned to a (very) short hiatus. From mid-March to late-June 2018, as the Cold War reached its end, ostrich1414 failed to return to the server and remained inactive. However, by late June, ostrich1414 had once again returned, this time with the goal of "taking it easy". Rather than returning with a "boom" like he had the last time he returned from a hiatus, ostrich1414 decided to focus on helping others, rather than himself.<br />
<br />
Around late June, ostrich1414 invited [[Sengorn_Leopard]], a new ally of his and pippenger's, to Quinsigamond. From Quinsigamond, ostrich1414 then transferred Sengorn_Leopard to Struthio, where he remained for a longer period of time. Ostrich1414 became a mentor-of-sorts to Sengorn_Leopard, briefing him on the culture and history of SimPvP that he had come to learn and love. Though Struthio had remained stagnant for months, Sengorn-Leopard's arrival revived it, and the base once again flourished with new projects and architecture.<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 was eventually invited to join the base [[Java Linsghey]] in July 2018; here, he assisted his longtime allies, such as JavelinFury, clipchip, and [[MisterStrawman]], among others. Ostrich1414 built the [[Get Clip A Girlfriend]] National Headquarters, providing the organization he had founded in 2017 with a legitimate physical office. However, ostrich1414 was not as regularly active at Java Linsghey as he was at previous bases, and it soon fell relatively stale. Because of this, shortly thereafter, ostrich1414 was invited to yet another base, this time [[Tol Honeth]], by JavelinFury and clipchip once again in August 2018. Though he was becoming immersed in the server's current events once more, he failed to be as active or as aggressive as he once was, and decided that it was time to enjoy the moments while they lasted.<br />
<br />
[[File:JavaLinsgheySkyline.png|400px]] [[File:TolHoneth1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414's Renaissance==<br />
<br />
By late-August 2018, ostrich1414 had shifted most of his focus onto Struthio, the small coastal town he had founded with the League. Though he had largely abandoned it since early 2018 due to his hiatus, he gained a renewed interest in it due to Sengorn_Leopard's arrival. Here, Sengorn_Leopard began constructing a large, complex structure known as "Aether Tower", which promptly turned his "temporary" stay at Struthio into a permanent one. Sengorn-Leopard's interest in building up Struthio greatly influenced ostrich1414, who worked alongside him as the two added many new buildings and farms to the city. Thus, this became the beginning of Struthio's Renaissance, the rebirth of the previously neglected base, which witnessed a massive growth of its peninsula area. Porkington and ostrich1414 also completed the Hall of Vatlos, having put it on hold prior to Struthio's Renaissance.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioNewI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Much of this rebuilding of Struthio came as a response to pippenger's own desire to greatly expand his base [[Ascaris]], claiming it to be the largest, most vast city on SimPvP. Thus, ostrich1414, Sengorn_Leopard and pippenger entered a friendly competition with each other as both Struthio and Ascaris tried to outgrow the other in terms of size and complexity, a rivalry jokingly referred to as the beginning of "The Vast Age".<br />
<br />
On September 28th, 2018, ostrich1414 officially announced his departure from the League, with himself and Porkington later deciding to disband the team altogether. As ostrich1414 wanted to solely focus on Struthio, and pippenger on Ascaris, with the team itself becoming largely dormant and irrelevant, the two decided that there was no logical reason to continue the League's goals and objectives, but, rather, to remain teamless and focus on expanding SimPvP's existing bases.<br />
<br />
Not long after, in October 2018, ostrich1414 and Porkington continued their expansion of Oberstein, their mountainous town near spawn. This was done in anticipation of the 2018 version of the spawn map (found here: [https://simplicitypvp.net/maps/#simpvp2018/0/3/0/0/64]), which was set to release the following month in November. Along with greatly increasing Oberstein's size, the two also collaborated on [[Glowstone Tower]], a massive nearby tower that reached up to the height limit.<br />
<br />
[[File:ObI.png|400px]] [[File:GlowstoneTower1.png|200px]]<br />
<br />
==Adjusting to an Ever-Changing Landscape==<br />
<br />
On November 1st, 2018, ostrich1414 hosted the first-ever [[Server Party at Quinsigamond]], an event that would soon become infamous. After making Quinsigamond a public base that same day, releasing coordinates for all to access and connecting it to the nether highway, he hosted a party at the city, prompting ten other players to join him in celebration. However, things soon went awry when [[Sellout9]], one of the guests, began mercilessly attacking some of the players. An all-out massacre soon arose as all players began fighting each other, resulting in many deaths and lost valuables. Quinsigamond itself was affected, with some of the city destroyed and in ruins, as well as looted and raided. Nevertheless, Quinsigamond still stands today, open to the public, and the memory of the crazy event of the Server Party became a highlight of the year.<br />
<br />
[[File:SPQ2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
When 1.13 came around in mid-November, things changed forever as SimPvP was altered in many ways. The server became much laggier and slower, and dozens of farms were destroyed and/or modified. This would eventually result in a full-scale upgrade, forcing the server's admin [[Yukarion]] to create a temporary map as the main map updated in the background. On the temporary map, beginning on December 5th, 2018, ostrich1414 started from scratch and soon formed an alliance and base of operations with other players. Here, ostrich1414, along with these teammates, launched an all-out war against all pro-phantomers (those who supported the addition of phantoms in 1.13) loosely referred to as "The Phantom Wars". All pro-phantomer bases and players were griefed and killed respectively, resulting in ostrich1414's own base being destroyed in response by them. Once the main map returned on December 11th, this was later resolved peacefully.<br />
<br />
[[File:PhantomWars.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
1.13's updates and the close to 2018 brought many changes to SimPvP and ostrich1414 as a whole, especially regarding Struthio, his main base of focus. Ostrich1414 had invited new players to join the city, all the while watching it quickly grow as Struthio's Renaissance continued. 1.13 had destroyed a few of Struthio's farms, forcing them to redo many of them; the greatest example of this is the destruction of Struthio's first wither farm, forcing the players to begin construction on a new farm, resulting in the second iteration becoming much larger and more complex. Struthio's emergence as a power-player within the server's politics and social climate was also becoming apparent, and ostrich1414's presence as the city founder and a forefront player allowed him to sway many of the decisions occurring there. Many of these decisions included the annexation and colonization of [[Bapadia]] on November 9th, 2018, a focus on mentoring new players and giving them positions, and attempting to strengthen alliances with other players in an attempt to build prominence.<br />
<br />
[[File:COB2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==An Explosive Growth==<br />
<br />
As SimPvP entered 2019, ostrich1414 found himself in the midst of a massively-changing culture and community: by January alone, the player count had nearly doubled, and dozens of new players were joining, more than the server had seen in a long time. Ostrich1414 recognized this change in server popularity and decided to utilize it for himself; on January 18th, 2019, ostrich1414 would perpetrate the first major event of the year: the Takeover of [[Fort Cranberry]]. Ostrich1414 annexed and colonized Fort Cranberry for Struthio, much like he did for Bapadia, and placed [[talksalot011]] and AaronRC93 in charge of the colony. Furthermore, he ordered several new players living at the fort to place kill its owner, [[CranberryWarrior]], on sight. What resulted were a series of battles between CranberryWarrior and ostrich1414's colonial army, ultimately resulting in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:FC2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, things would soon sour as a group of griefers, known as #TeamYMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]], joined the server in an attempt to launch various griefing and raiding campaigns on its many spawn bases. The first of these campaign's were YMP's raid on [[Novus Castle]] on February 16th, 2019. [[Cmlove]], who built the castle, requested backup to assist in fighting back the attackers, and ostrich1414 was one of the many players to join the counter-attack. However, despite being in fully-maxxed out diamond gear with god weapons, ostrich1414 was slain by JacksTheReaper, a member of YMP, which ultimately resulted in the raid on Novus Castle being a victory for the griefing team. Ironically enough, YMP would later grief Fort Cranberry the next day, ending ostrich1414's second official colony.<br />
<br />
[[File:NovusCastleGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these instances of intense strife and destruction, 2019 also served as a year of positive growth and change for ostrich1414. His city Struthio was skyrocketing as both a world power and a wealthy, vast city, its skyline becoming iconic. Ostrich1414 invited various new members to Struthio, and by April 2019, the city had grown significantly in both size, wealth, power and membership. Players such as [[CrackyJoe]], clipchip and [[DakkaDok]] would soon assist at Struthio, and even Master_Xybot returned from his hiatus in February to help build once again. Porkington, however, would later quit the city, enraged by his perceived lack of respect there.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioSkylineApril.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, ostrich1414 would also become the co-founder of a new city, a sort-of side project of his to Struthio. This city was named [[Florestria]], which he co-founded with [[SkykirryChycho]] on February 20th, 2019. What began as a small, quiet lakeside community quickly grew into a much larger city, with various farms, buildings and towers dotting the skyline. Ostrich1414 used Florestria as a city to build relationships with newer SimPvP players, a stark contrast to Struthio's makeup of older players.<br />
<br />
[[File:FlorestriaApril19.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
During the first few months of 2019, especially due to the explosive growth in player count, ostrich1414 found himself establishing several formal relationships with other teams and bases. Struthio and [[Triterrus]] formed an official alliance as sister cities, and Struthio and [[Nos Aeterna]] also formed an alliance, with DakkaDok even arriving at Struthio to build an embassy. Struthio and [[Ishtar]] formed an alliance (prior to its grief), and Struthio and Florestria shared embassies as well. Struthio and [[New Bapadia]] found themselves forming an alliance, with ostrich1414 mending his relationship with Bapada63 after the incident at Bapadia. Ostrich1414 himself also increased his number of affiliations and alliances, trying to build a new reputation as a trading power.<br />
<br />
==Shit Goes Down==<br />
<br />
By the middle of spring 2019, ostrich1414 was able to experience both of his cities, Struthio and Florestria, prosper to their fullest as they progressed exponentially. Each city was gaining several new members, farms and buildings almost weekly. However, behind the scenes, things were not going very well diplomatically: in April 2019, Struthio had been discovered by a group known as "Passione", which included [[Brusa95]], [[Chris_cord]] and [[trppbll]]. While ostrich1414 was allied and on good terms with Passione, there was one player whom they were allied with that would prove to be detrimental to the city: [[Antzakes1]].<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioDiscovery2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Due to a series of pre-existing tensions (which included ambushes in /world and the raid of Java Linsghey), Antzakes1 immediately began threatening Struthio's safety upon being invited there by Passione. Realizing the city was already compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Struthians began to form plans on what to do next: the declaration of war was seriously being considered, while plans for a new city in a new location was also considered. Regardless, tensions would only worsen: it was discovered that [[AntHand]], a member of Florestria, had sold that city's coordinates to Antzakes1 for Struthio's coordinates, which now meant that Antzakes1 had access to two of ostrich1414's most important cities, which doubled the threats. Enraged at AntHand, as well as feeling betrayed, ostrich1414 decided to enact revenge on him. On May 9th, while AntHand was AFK in Florestria's gunpowder farm, ostrich1414 laced the area with TNT and blew him up, killing him instantaneously and destroying all of his drops. Ostrich1414 immediately fled from Florestria after.<br />
<br />
[[File:AntHandAttack1.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, AntHand and ostrich1414 apologized to each other and made up, realizing that Antzakes1 had manipulated them into quarreling with each other. While plans for an all-out war against Antzakes1 continued, both Struthio and Florestria ultimately decided to move on and simply ignore Antzakes1. Both cities decided to fully start from scratch as several members from each flocked to new locations, while Antzakes1 ultimately went on hiatus. Unfortunately, [[TheOnlySlash]] would leak Struthio's coordinates to the public, which ultimately resulted in the city being griefed by jared2013 on June 3rd, 2019, resulting in the end of ostrich1414's greatest city yet. Florestria, meanwhile, would survive, albeit fully abandoned.<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414 IV: A New Hope==<br />
<br />
Despite the countless setbacks of the Antzakes1 Crisis, ostrich1414 emerged stronger than ever. By June 2019, he was heavily involved in three major cities: [[Nos Aeterna]], [[Yittrium]] and [[Segoria]] (the Big 3).<br />
<br />
Previously, ostrich1414 had been invited to [[DakkaDok]]'s city, Nos Aeterna, in mid-April 2019. Due to the city's immense distance from spawn and its lack of portal connections, ostrich1414 sent a new alt, XXXOstrichtacion, to live and work at the city. While he would not be heavily active here, ostrich1414 did assist Nos Aeterna's growth in several ways, including building a skyscraper in honor of Struthio, helping to organize the city's brand-new storage facility, and fixing several farms. Two other former Struthians, Sengorn_Leopard and CrackyJoe, were also invited alongside ostrich1414.<br />
<br />
[[File:NosAeternaSkylineJuly.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Yittrium was the immediate follow-up of Florestria. After Florestria was compromised and abandoned in May 2019, ostrich1414 and the rest of its members fled to a new location significantly farther out, forming the city of Yittrium. Unlike Florestria, which was a quiet, lowkey lakeside community, Yittrium was a massive metropolis with several highrises and large-scale builds. Yittrium was directly influenced by Struthio's modern-city aesthetic, featuring a very imposing skyline.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumSkylineAugust.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Segoria, the last of the Big 3 for ostrich1414, was a follow-up city for Struthio. Segoria's location had actually been discovered and claimed by Sengorn_Leopard during Struthio's prime, but it was essentially reserved only in the occasion that the city fell; Segoria was a back-up plot for a new start. Thus, after Struthio was compromised, several key members of the city fled to the new location, Segoria, in May 2019. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would not be very active here: he had sent his alt OstrichsCoolAlt to live at Segoria while he focused heavily on Yittrium, but many of Segoria's members helped grow the city into a large medieval base with several palaces, temples and statues.<br />
<br />
[[File:Segoria2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of these three cities, ostrich1414 had been involved in the server in other smaller ways. He established the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] in March 2019, but really progressed it by May. The CAB served as an alliance between several powerful and wealthy cities, three of which ostrich1414 was involved at. Furthermore, ostrich1414 would engage in several small-scale battles. The first of these was the Battle of Knee Mo, which took place in Yittrium on May 31st. This occurred after AntHand accidentally killed one of [[MoWobbler]]'s fish in a public fountain, resulting in an all-out violent battle. The second battle was the [[Battle of Quagsmaria]], which pitted ostrich1414 and TheOnlySlash against [[Lord1]] and Cocoaboa. After ostrich1414 tried to annex the base [[Quagsmaria]] on July 6th, 2019 with TheOnlySlash, Lord1 attempted to take it back from them; this ultimately resulted in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
==A Second Modern Metropolis==<br />
<br />
Much of 2019 consisted of ostrich1414 working extensively on his city Yittrium. From its inception in May to the end of the year, Yittrium became ostrich1414's sole project, as he allocated much of his time here. In fact, Yittrium, in many ways, was a sequel to Struthio, ostrich1414's last major city: both Yittrium and Struthio were massive modern metropolises with large, active playerbases, all contributing new buildings every week. However, Yittrium was slowly but surely overtaking Struthio in terms of size, shape, wealth and power - this was ostrich1414's greatest base yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumAtNightOctober2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 himself constructed many of the builds at Yittrium, helping define the city's dense, modern feel. However, the other members of Yittrium were equally as vital to its success: players like AntHand, MoWobbler, [[cheesy_chips22]] and more helped grow and shape the city, especially in terms of its industrial wealth. In fact, Yittrium easily became ostrich1414's richest city: "god sets" were able to be manufactured quickly and efficiently, the iron farm was overflowing, and the raid farm, ostrich1414's first farm at the city, produced lots of Totems of Undying. Furthermore, ostrich1414 was able to secure his first truly successful colony with Yittrium: on October 23rd, 2019, he annexed Dylan_Roof's base [[Coon Town]], a base which gave Yittrium access to much-needed villager trades, two mob farms and a gold farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:CoonTown1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
October 17th - November 18th was a notable period of 2019 for ostrich1414, as he was heavily involved in the religious, ideological crusade known as "[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]]". On October 17th, ostrich1414, on behalf of [[The Order of Wilbur]], declared war on the [[Church of Francis]]; in response, its leader, Lord1, declared war on the Order of Wilbur. This war would easily become the bloodiest, most violent war in SimPvP history, featuring a plethora of large-scale battles and ambushes.<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleOfMonarchia1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the leader of the Order of the Wilbur and the Wilburian Army in general, ostrich1414 organized several of the battles that took place. Most notably, ostrich1414 took part in the Battle of Monarchia, the largest battle in server history to-date: a total of 19 players showed up, with 18 active soldiers fighting altogether. Ostrich1414 was involved with all the battles of the war, except for the last, the Battle of [[Syracusai]]. Nevertheless, he was able to secure several military victories for the Order of Wilbur, getting several kills (and experiencing several deaths as well). The war in itself was not only very violent, seeing active combat regularly, but was also very resource-heavy: at Yittrium, ostrich1414 and his team were forced to manufacture dozens of potions, gear and Totems of Undying for the war effort. This effort payed off, as the Order of Wilbur was successful in several battles, most notably the battles of Java Linsghey, Snowfrog, Monarchia and Syracusai.<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleOfAndromeda.png|400px]] [[File:WilburianAmryVictory.png|400px]] [[File:MonarchiaVictory1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After the Battle of Syracusai, on November 18th, Lord1 officially surrendered to the Order of Wilbur on behalf of the Church of Francis, ending the war and resulting in an Order of Wilbur victory. Later that night, ostrich1414 organized a peace conference and victory celebration in [[Verillium]], reviewing and accepting terms of surrender with Lord1 and celebrating his team's victory with the soldiers who helped achieve it. The Holy-Wilbur Francis War was ostrich1414's second war he had partaken in on the server, but it was easily his most successful and eventful.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 1.png|400px]] [[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Postwar Depression==<br />
<br />
While the Holy Wilbur-Francis War had ended in a victory, ostrich1414 would be unaware of just how tense and unpleasant the next few months on SimPvP would be for him and the players around him. Almost immediately after the war's end, another war had begun: the [[Intervention War]], declared by the [[Bloc for Clans]] (which ostrich1414 was in at the time) due to perceived long-term hostilities shown by both the [[Shadow Mcmafia]] and [[The Dominion]]. While the Intervention War would not have massive, organized battles like the war before it, the Intervention War was comprised of a series of smaller PvP battles, skirmishes and terror attacks, making it difficult for players to move around safely. While a member of the BC, ostrich1414 would not take part in this war, remaining neutral due to his friendliness with both belligerents involved in the war. Nonetheless, it killed many of his allies and threatened several of his bases, setting the tone for a tense period of time.<br />
<br />
On December 8th, 2019, due to the Bloc for Clans announcing their plans on annexing [[Ascaris]], ostrich1414 rushed to the city and claimed a large portion of the land for Yittrium in fear that the city would be primarily used for an advantage during the Intervention War, wanting to ensure its safety. Yittrium and the BC both agreed to divide the city in half and share it - unfortunately, a week later, Ascaris would be severely griefed by an unknown player, which many believe to be a consequence of the Intervention War.<br />
<br />

<br />
Meanwhile, ostrich1414 had a threat of his own at Yittrium, as the city increasingly become less safe and more unstable. The Shadow Mcmafia had been threatening it for months, but the likelihood of the city being either raided or griefed became a serious topic as the player count increased and the safety and security decreased. By December 2019, Yittrium was entering the stages of a dying city: its members were rarely active, only using it for its abundance of farms. In fact, during this time, between late November and early December, ostrich1414 moved on to a solo project (which quickly grew into a massive multi-player project), establishing [[Craftablia]] on November 23rd. Made up of multiple chunks of crafting tables laid on the ground, many of which were donated by [[SFR]] and Sengorn_Leopard, ostrich1414 utilized Craftablia as an escape from Yittrium, feeling little motivation to build at his home city due to the many reasons mentioned prior. Ultimately, Craftablia would be abandoned as well, and soon discovered by a new player.<br />
<br />

<br />
By late December 2019 - early January 2020, ostrich1414 was growing dissatisfied and depressed with his time on SimPvP. His bases were being active and abandoned, the Intervention War was consuming the efforts of his allies, and he was lacking motivation in general. His long-time portal hub had recently been made public, and the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] had disbanded due to inactivity. At this time, he would assist [[cmlove]] with two bases: first, [[The Foxhole]], which only lasted a few weeks until it was griefed on December 19th, and [[Vulpes Den]], a base he founded with cmlove shortly after the Foxhole was griefed. The two bases shared a common theme, being underground complexes with a nature inspiration - nonetheless, ostrich1414's growing boredom and lack of motivation rendered his activities here unproductive, and he would ultimately leave Vulpes Den soon after.<br />
<br />
[[File:Vulpes Den 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After a few days of inactivity and boredom, ostrich1414 officially left SimPvP for a short hiatus on January 5th, 2020. Needing some time for a break, ostrich1414's hiatus would prove detrimental to his in-game city: that same day, Yittrium was severely raided by [[Byzantium]] due to internal issues they had with fellow member [[TonTheKidRS]], forcing the city's members to abandon it for good. Unaware of this at the time, ostrich1414 assumed that he would not be back for a few months, as his postwar depression made playing on SimPvP a chore, rather than a fun activity.<br />
<br />
During his hiatus, ostrich1414 played a fuckton of Bed Wars on Hypixel.<br />
<br />
==He's Back, Baby!==<br />
<br />
While ostrich1414 was gone, a political dispute unrelated to the ongoing Intervention War was brewing in the city of [[Sigil]], known as [[The Sigil Conflict]]. This issue involved many of ostrich1414's allies, as Lord1, on behalf of the Church of Francis, used a perceived lack of religious freedom to bar Wilburians from certain areas of the city, practically overtaking the city for his own. Tensions reached their climax when Lord1 killed [[nddragoon]] and GummyBearz14, as well as launching an unofficial crusade against the Francillian doubters of Sigil; the base was now unsafe as violence brewed, and the coordinates had been leaked. Ostrich1414, who was repeatedly DM'd on Discord about this, decided it was time to return: on January 17th, 2020, ostrich1414 traveled to Sigil and griefed the Church of Francis temple in retaliation for their actions towards the Wilburians and innocent Sigil civilians. Ostrich1414 then began to attack Lord1 and Cutman as a short battle ensued, although this was later dissolved as an armistice was declared.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the toll this conflict took on the city of Sigil and relations between Lord1 and other BC members, the Sigil Conflict had actually proven to be vital for ostrich1414: it renewed his interest in the server, bringing excitement and thrill back into the game for him.<br />
<br />
This was made even more clear when, literally a day later, [[The Second Siege]] began, also known as "The Hispanic Panic". This was a server-wide event initiated in response to the growing threat that a [[MrCramYT]], a Spanish YouTuber with over 50,000 subscribers, would make a video on SimPvP that would ultimately bring an influx of players online and make the lag and playability even worse than it already was. Thus, despite the many instances of strife and war on the server, everyone unified together despite their differences and began to work together and make spawn impenetrable, ensuring that new players could not leave it. In fact, TheOnlySlash (who had organized the Second Siege) made ostrich1414 a member of the Inner Council of the event, and ostrich1414 played a major role in bringing forth more players to the cause. Ultimately, the Second Siege was successful in stopping MrCramYT from making the video, and the event as a whole became the largest gathering of SimPvP players at one location in server history.<br />
<br />
[[File:Siege II Group 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Once again, ostrich1414 was back and reinvigorated, happy to be playing on SimPvP again after the excitement of mid-January.<br />
<br />
==Return to Form: War and Peace==<br />
<br />
By mid-January, there were still two major issues plaguing ostrich1414: he was both poor and homeless, primarily due to the loss of Yittrium. As such, he decided to establish a brand-new megacity on January 24th, 2020, known as the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], or "Wilburia" for short. Wilburia would be the first official base created specifically by and for the Order of Wilbur, nearly six years after the religion was formed. While Wilburia was originally meant to be a solo project, ostrich1414 later invited a small group of devout Wilburians: [[Zepheron]], cheesy_chips22 and Porkington. The city grew rapidly, constructing a sizable, respectable city square by February 2020.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia February 7.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike Struthio, Florestria or Yittrium before it, Wilburia's strength was its small team. With only four players, three of which were primarily active, Wilburia quickly became one of the wealthiest and most powerful bases on SimPvP. Several skyscrapers, three major megastructures, and high-quality farms ranging from a gold farm, totem farm, and gunpowder farm would be constructed between January and April. Ostrich1414 had finally risen out of the ashes, becoming a wealthy player once more and no longer relying on feeding off of the rotten corpse of Yittrium.<br />
<br />
Of course, the time between January - early-April 2020 had its major incidents. Perhaps the most important event was [[The Byzantium War]], a war which ostrich1414 himself officially declared on February 23rd, 2020. The Byzantium War began way back in January 5th, when the members of Byzantium first raided Yittrium. While ostrich1414 and his former teammates were angered by this, they decided to move on. It wasn't until February when the members of Byzantium began mocking them for it that tensions truly began to rise. [[Passaconaway]] renamed his alt account to "RIPYittrium2020", and later leaked the city's coordiantes on that same account. This incident is what truly sparked the beginnings of the war, leading ostrich1414 to recruit a few loyalists and raid Byzantium's former base, Triterrus, in response.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Raid.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By February 23rd, the war truly picked up. With tensions rising and anger and mockery consuming the chat, ostrich1414 and his allies returned to Triterrus, this time severely and irreparably griefing it. War was immediately declared between Byzantium and "New Israel" (the informal name given to ostrich1414 and his allies), and the Byzantium War would be known as a war of griefing. Not long after the grief of Triterrus, Byzantium would severely grief Yittrium on February 25th, as well as later griefing Antzakes1's invisible base on March 28th. While these three major griefings would mark the severity of the war, no actual battles took place, and fighting was brought to a minimum, leaving much of the war empty and inactive.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, things would soon die down for the Byzantium War. Two major peace conferences took place: the Quinsigamond Peace Conference on February 27th, and the Turtle Beach Peace Conference on March 29th. The first of the two was only between ostrich1414, [[VetoTheNeato]] and Byzantium, but the second was between the major parties of New Israel and Byzantium, bringing the war to an end. It was decided that there would be no "winners" or "losers" of the war, and that all parties would move on peacefully, as well as to forgive each other for the atrocities that occurred. With the Byzantium War now ending, ostrich1414 was a veteran of three wars. While not as violent as the War of Monarchia or the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Byzantium War was the first war where ostrich1414 had truly felt anger and betrayal.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Peace Conference 1.png|400px]] [[File:Peace Conference 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of working on his city Wilburia and partaking in the Byzantium War, ostrich1414 engaged in other activities as well, typically related to diplomatic relations. Ostrich1414 was one of the many participants of the [[Simpvp Summit]] on February 23rd, representing his city Wilburia. He was also forced to confess to the griefing of [[North Koria (Base)]], later reconciling with [[Korijenkins]] at the Struthian-North Korian Peace Summit on February 3rd. In early March, ostrich1414 participated in #WitherWeek at Segoria, assisting his Segorian allies in finally finishing the massive wither skeleton farm they had started in 2018. Ostrich1414 was also a soldier during the very short Second Invasion of [[Lordtopia]] on April 9th, although he was blown up by an end crystal within less than a minute of battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Struthian-North Korian Peace Summit.png|400px]] [[File:WitherWeek.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important moment of January-April 2020 for ostrich1414 was when he became the newest official admin of SimPvP on February 28th, 2020. For many years, Yukarion, DakkaDok and MisterStrawman had been the only admins on the server, but their decreasing activity had led to the pursuit of a new admin. Ostrich1414's vast playtime, experience and activity on SimPvP led him to become a prime candidate, and eventually, led to him becoming the fourth active admin.<br />
<br />
==A Man Both Jaded and Weary==<br />
<br />
As the year 2020 proved to be a chaotic one, ironically both in SimPvP and in real life, ostrich1414 found himself once again growing exhausted and unmotivated. Although the end of the Byzantium War had promised ostrich1414 a new period to focus on his blossoming city, Wilburia, things would not be as pleasant as he originally envisioned. Nonetheless, between April to mid-May, Wilburia became one of ostrich1414's greatest cities to date: a city of high quality, wealth, power, and grandeur. Motivated by the flaws and pitfalls of his previous two megacities, Struthio and Yittrium, the one thing maintaining his interest in SimPvP was the growth of Wilburia.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between April 15th and April 16th, a sudden crisis would occur that once again threatened peace and stability: [[The Stonetown Incident]]. After attempting to annex Stonetown on behalf of Wilburia, primarily due to its historic and religious significance, ostrich1414 was "betrayed" by Porkington after he instead gave the deed to Stonetown to Lord1. Soon after, Lord1 annexed Stonetown and converted it into a Francillian colony -- something ostrich1414 was strongly against due to Stonetown's stance as the base where the Order of Wilbur was founded. This resulted in Wilburia taking back Stonetown, threatening the Francillians, and a back-and-forth ensued: each group would remove the other's decorations and temporarily occupy the land. In fact, this crisis got so heated that it almost led to yet another Holy Wilbur-Francis War, and both sides were gearing for battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, neither ostrich1414 nor Lord1 truly wanted ''another'' war. After attending a peace treaty to ease tensions, ostrich1414 was confronted by a sudden imposing and outlandish questions by Lord1, in which he asked: "Are you CranberryWarrior?" Although this may have seemed like a bizarre question to ask by most players, it was not; ostrich1414 admitted that he was indeed CranberryWarrior, and had been since 2017. Ostrich1414 had been using CranberryWarrior behind-the-scenes as a secret alt account, using it to infiltrate other groups and bases, and to gather information. Some of these groups included [[The Fellowship]], [[Asguard]], North Koria, and Lord1's own Church of Francis. Using CranberryWarrior, ostrich1414 had insided as a loyal Francillian since the summer of 2019; now, in April 2020, he was officially exposed. In return for the distrust he had caused, ostrich1414 gifted Lord1 with the CranberryWarrior account, and Lord1 turned it into a brand-new alt for himself, Lard2.<br />
<br />
[[File:CranberryWarrior Last Words.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
After almost entering yet another war and exposing his secret alt account, the final blow would occur for ostrich1414 that led him to enter a state of hopelessness and non-inspiration on May 6th, 2020. For a few weeks prior, the members of Wilburia, especially ostrich1414 himself, had suspicions that AntHand and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] had access to their city. Unfortunately, these suspicions were revealed to be true: on May 6th, both egnaroky and AntHand showed up to Wilburia in person, declaring that they were incorporating the city into their new "Caudicean Empire". This angered ostrich1414 severely, who felt both betrayed by his allies and sickened that he was losing yet another megacity, his third in a row.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Their city now compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Wilburians abandoned the city entirely, only using it sparingly for farms and resources. Tensions between the Caudices and the rest of the server would only worsen when they proceeded to annex [[Takyon]], Wilburia's sister city which ostrich1414 had very close relations with. In his final act of disobedience against the Caudices, ostrich1414 attended a server party at Takyon on May 8th where dozens of players toured the city one last time before severely griefing it. This also resulted in a minor skirmish between themselves and the Caudices, to no avail.<br />
<br />
[[File:Takyon Party 1.png|400px]] [[File:Takyon Party 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By mid-May, ostrich1414 was jaded, weary, exhausted, and most of all, demotivated. The loss of Wilburia felt more routine than devastating, as he had lost Struthio and Yittrium before it. Ostrich1414 also felt displaced in the new server environment, which became increasingly tense and angry; wars were far more common now, and strife and drama occurred at a much more alarming rate. Needing to take a break from SimPvP for a while, ostrich1414 departed on yet another one of his frequent hiatuses, only logging on periodically for server maintenance, hoping to focus on real life.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, real life sucked too (2020 was kind of a lame year, ngl).<br />
<br />
==Searching for Meaning==<br />
<br />
After the Wilburia incident, ostrich1414 didn't log on for much of May or June, only properly returning to the server in late June. His first major step back into the server life was his brief participation at the Second SimPvP Summit on June 20th, although even this was very short-lived. Ostrich1414 had become severely unmotivated and uninspired, with no main base to his name and no direction. Fortunately, this mentality was somewhat remedied with his induction into [[The Republic]]--a brand new team with the goal of decreasing Lord1's influence on SimPvP, as well as the Church of Francis as a whole. The Republic also aimed to focus on public works projects at and around spawn, improving the environment for all.<br />
<br />
Of course, an entire team largely targetting one player has disastrous effects. On June 23rd, several members of the Republic griefed Two Words, the Church of Francis' primary base. Ostrich1414, while not a part of the grief, was considered a major suspect for leaking it due to his knowledge of the coordinates thanks to CranberryWarrior. The grief, and this rumor, would ultimately lead Lord1 and [[Wawuwiva]] to target and grief ostrich1414's longest-lasting base on SimPvP, Stonetown. That same day, on June 23rd, Stonetown was mercilessly griefed and destroyed, ending its six year lifespan.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although dismayed and saddened by this loss, ostrich1414 urged himself to continue playing on SimPvP and supporting the Republic's endeavors. On July 13th, ostrich1414 began a brand-new solo project: a unique landmark called [[Inferno]]. Inspired by places like Craftablia and [[The Graveyard]], Inferno consisted of a specifically-placed pattern of 3-block-high netherrack pillars, with fire lit on top of each of them, covering an entire landmass. Inferno was constructed with no other goal in mind than creating yet another unique spawn landmark for players to enjoy, and to boost the Republic's image as more of a public works group. Ostrich1414 also participated in another Republic-affiliated public works project, this time assisting 4Pilot and Zepheron in repairing the public end portal area.<br />
<br />
[[File:Inferno 1.png|400px]] [[File:End Boys.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite his lack of motivation to work on yet another base, ostrich1414 was ironically invited to three new bases during this period: Shakatak Mycelia on June 23rd, [[Exultia]] on June 29th, and [[Belgium]] on July 21st. At Shakatak Mycelia, ostrich1414 was inducted into the base's primary team, [[Shakatak]], organized by [[Burger_Malone]]. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would be very inactive here, primarily due to his lack of motivation and skillset required to build in the town's architectural standard. The same would go for Exultia, yet another base ostrich1414 participated at very minimally. In Exultia's case however, the base would not last very long; there was an overwhelming sense of burnout and inactivity within the entire base population, resulting in many members, including ostrich1414, to respectfully drop out near the end of the summer. Of these three bases, Belgium would be ostrich1414's most active participation--although even this was somewhat minimal. Joining the [[North Koria (Clan)]] alongside TheOnlySlash, Korijenkins, and [[HedgehogMind]], ostrich1414 assisted in some large scale projects at Belgium, primarily related to base expansion.<br />
<br />
[[File:ShakOst.png|400px]] [[File:Belgium Crew.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the moment that truly brought ostrich1414 back into the SimPvP mindset, and reintroducing his inspiration to play, was his participation in SKRT, or the Sim Kast Removal Team. Starting on August 23rd, 2020, the Sim Kast Removal Team was founded by the [[GS Trading Co.]] in order to completely renovate and repair spawn after years of abuse, destruction, and lavacasting. Ever since 2019, spawn had been suffocated by intense lavacasts, so the massive organized team of SKRT worked around the clock to dismantle these features using various methods, from TNT dupers to mining to simple TNT placement. Several SKRT members also focused on draining much of the water cubes that had been left over from Operation Moist Boiz I and II, trying to dry out spawn. After only a week of renovation, SKRT's goals were a resounding success: spawn was completely different than it had been before, with much more space around the protected zone. This was the moment where ostrich1414 truly became engaged with the server yet again.<br />
<br />
[[File:SKRT Crew.png|400px]] [[File:Revamped Spawn.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the summer began to dwindle and lead into fall, ostrich1414 became more active on SimPvP and participated in a myriad of smaller events. On August 7th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron became two of the many players to participate in the glitch abuse of [[Dragon Eggs]], each obtaining a dragon egg (although these were later destroyed due to a new ruling). On August 30th, ostrich1414 was also one of the founding members of [[Palau]], a short-lived base that only lasted around 24 minutes before it devolved into the chaotic Massacre of Palau when TheOnlySlash killed Qyburn_ and bedtrapped Paul358.<br />
<br />

<br />
==A Tale of Two Cities==<br />
<br />
While much of ostrich1414's 2020 summer had been characterized by a lack of motivation, disillusionment, and no real sense of purpose as a result of the Wilburia incident, things soon changed by the fall when he joined two brand new cities. In September, ostrich1414 co-founded [[Quabbin]], and in October, he joined [[Void City]]; both of these bases would become his primary sources of focus for the latter half of 2020.<br />
<br />
Quabbin was co-founded by ostrich1441 and AntHand on September 2nd after the two wanted to reunite and find a common ground after Wilburia, using the base as an excuse to warm relations. They were soon joined by egnaroky, MoWobbler, JESUS_warrior69, and cmlove. Much like ostrich1414's previous cities, specifically Struthio and Yittrium, Quabbin became yet another ever-growing megacity characterized by its modern aesthetic. Ostrich1414, once again motivated to build after months, began work on his signature modern cityscape, cultivating a unique skyline with several skyscrapers and farms in a central riverside island known as "Quabbin Center". Around him, the other Quabbin members created their own unique contributions, from MoWobbler's Sphere City to AntHand's Area 69 to cmlove's Zoo Wee Mama.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quabbin November 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
About a month after Quabbin, ostrich1414 formally joined his next base, Void City. Founded by Korijenkins on October 3rd, Void City is notable for being located in the End, and an unofficial expansion of the Belgium team. At Void City, ostrich1414 was also joined by Belgium regulars TheOnlySlash and HedgehogMind, as well as old allies he had not based with in years, including clipchip, JavelinFury, and dariepearjuicy. Void City features a cyberpunk aesthetic, using the End dimension as a juxtaposition for futuristic space-like builds and towers. Much like at Quabbin, ostrich1414 would construct several skyscrapers and farms here, using his knack for modern builds to the city's advantage.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void Citiots.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, Quabbin and Void City were not ostrich1414's only activities during this time. Between September and early December, ostrich1414 engaged in several battles, meet-ups, events, and spawn projects.<br />
<br />
In September, ostrich1414 engaged in two major battles. The first was the [[Battle of Swampland]] on September 15th, a classic Church of Francis versus Order of Wilbur battle, between Lord1, xexc, and [[James8B]] versus ostrich1414, MoWobbler, and [[ElectricChugg]]. While this battle would go on for over an hour, and ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were able to successfully defend themselves, the Order of Wilbur ultimately lost: ElectricChugg had been killed early in the battle, and after an hour or losing resources, the two remaining Wilburians were forced to flee. The second was the Battle of [[Suit's tower]] on September 29th, a spur-of-the-moment battle between Lord1, ostrich1414, and [[_Goujon_]] versus AntHand, Sellout9, and Cutman. Unlike the previous battle, this one was extremely short, with ostrich1414's emerging victorious within minutes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]] [[File:Battle of Suit's Tower.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On October 6th, ostrich1414 and a coalition of other players teamed up to grief [[Azpipia]], a spawn base partially created by Azdin. This was done in response to Azdin's negligent removal of several spawn landmarks, returning them to vanilla Minecraft terrain as if nothing had ever been built there. There were also several parties attended by ostrich1414, including [[Barrier Town]], Wassrïge Hólle Trei, and MoWobbler's Second Annual Halloween Tomb Event at Yittrium. Perhaps the highlight of these player get-togethers was the one year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, where ostrich1414 and several war veterans and Francillians/Wilburians met up in Verillium to reflect on the carnage that had occurred one year ago.<br />
<br />
[[File:Barrier Town 1.png|400px]] [[File:Holy War One Year 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On December 4th, ostrich1414, along with MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]], completed [[Suidae Temple]]: the Order of Wilbur's first major spawn temple. Rising from the depths of the ocean from a 3x3 circular grid, Suidae Temple was the first major act of the Order of Wilbur in months, and a fine addition to their collection of temples.<br />
<br />
[[File:Suidae Temple Shader 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, ostrich1414 participated in what would become one of the most violent, destructive wars in SimPvP history: [[The Imperial War]]. What began as a "larp" war for some soon devolved into an unprecedented arms race of destruction between the Church of Francis and the wartime-exclusive loose collective of players known as the People's Coalition, composed of numerous SimPvP teams united against the COF. While the ambush and murder of Sellout9 and SimCoin in early December 2020 would be the true catalyst for war, many players (including ostrich1414 himself) were growing frustrated with the COF's reign of imperialism and terror, with specific incidents like "Operation Red Terror" leaving a sour taste in their mouths, and the relentless ambushing of unaffiliated players began to wear thin. Ostrich1414 himself had a historic rivalry with the Church of Francis, and was thus propelled into the creation of the People's Coalition to fight against what they saw as a force detrimental to the server. On December 10th, 2020, the People's Coalition officially declared war on the Church of Francis, targeting and griefing two of their spawn bases: Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lakeside Lodge 1.png|400px]] [[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The first half of the Imperial War would largely be characterized by back-and-forth griefs of inactive, yet still prized, PC and COF affiliated bases, as well as various skirmishes and small guerrilla battles in both /world and spawn. The COF would grief some of ostrich1414's own former bases during this time, including [[New Oberstein]], Tol Honeth, and Florestria, as well as other smaller PC-affiliated bases. The PC would strike back, griefing Bitchport, RBC Spawn Base, and [[Swaglabs]]. Of course, much of the true action during this period of the war took place in /world, where countless skirmishes between PC and COF troops took place. While each side of the war had its own strengths and weaknesses, there seemed to be no clear winner in sight yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war, however, proved to be much more detrimental to both the participants on both sides, as well as the server itself. The first major controversy struck when the COF raided and griefed [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first major active base of the war to be targeted. This left countless PC members homeless, enraging them. Soon after, the YMP base Axetown was targeted by the COF. Wartime "battles" would decrease at this time, with fewer and fewer PC-COF combat; several PC members withdrew from the war for personal reasons while the COF attempted to negotiate peace, only to be turned down by the still-furious PC. Eventually, the next major base to fall would be at the hands of the PC on January 11th when they raided and annexed [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main base at the time. While this crippled any hope of an immediate peace, ostrich1414 found himself largely regretting the decision after partaking in it, viewing the ongoing war as an unwinnable vacuum of destruction for both sides simultaneously.<br />
<br />
[[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The last base to be targeted during the war, [[Pepe's Holy Land]], was raided and annexed by the PC shortly before true peace negotiations began to take place. Soldiers on both sides of the war were growing weary and distraught with its outcome; numerous active, impressive bases like GFC and Three Words were falling, and they felt that more were to come if the crisis continued. While the PC had previously rejected the COF's negotiations, they once again attempted to agree to mutual terms by mid-to-late January, with ostrich1414 himself spearheading the peace talks between himself, AntHand, Lord1, Tenced, and CrackyJoe. Finally, after days of negotiating, both the PC and the COF were able to come to an agreement: on January 28th, 2021, the two once-warring teams decided to come together and officially declare peace, ending the Imperial War for good. A small peace conference was held at Gibraltar Castle (one of the first bases to be griefed during the war) where representatives from both sides met and signed treaties. After well over a month of destruction, chaos, and hatred, another major war had ended...yet some tensions remained.<br />

<br />
By the end of the Imperial War, ostrich1414 was at his lowest in terms of lack of motivation, lack of enthusiasm, disillusionment, and irritability. On January 19th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron were forced to grief the dormant remains of Wilburia after it was x-rayed a partially griefed by 39Y. Almost two weeks later, he, and the other members, were forced to abandon Quabbin as the city had become overrun with unaffiliated outsider players gaining access to coordinates, with some likely looking to damage the city as post-war retaliation. Furthermore, AntHand, ostrich1414's long-time ally, was embroiled in a massive controversy regarding the use of a wolf-tracking exploit with which he discovered Three Words, as well as Wilburia a year prior. Yukarion's decision not to punish AntHand left ostrich1414 in an uncomfortable position as an admin, and as a previous Three Words raider. Despite the war being over, ostrich1414 was drained.<br />
<br />
Of course, post-Imperial War life was not all that bad. On February 4th, ostrich1414 was invited to join GS Trading Co.'s main base, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]], which he arrived at after permanently departing from Quabbin. Sternenfall Nochmal was notable for the vast array of high-powered farms it possessed, from withers to obsidian to guardians to gold. However, Sternenfall Nochmal also had a growing urban sector, with many of its members constructing soaring skyscrapers and other city structures. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would never truly build much at Sternenfall Nochmal, instead focusing on his budding map art obsession and assisting with farm-related projects. Ostrich1414 also spent some time at Void City again, finishing his long-dormant wool farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Skuller Sternenfall Nochmal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, ostrich1414's major project during this period of time would be [[Riverwood]]: a small town established specifically for new players, recruiting them and getting them started with gear and materials. Founded by ostrich1414 on February 15th, the town prospered for the next two weeks, housing over a dozen brand new players who contributed to its growing expansion. Largely utilizing Imperial Architecture as its primary build style, Riverwood would become ostrich1414's sole focus for most of February as he assisted many new players in getting them started on the server. Soon afterwards, The Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis decided to use Riverwood as an opportunity to make peace and spread unity, both constructing temples in the town and, for once, living in harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately by March 2021, Riverwood would decline in activity, and so would ostrich1414. His duties as admin had been largely outweighing his regular playtime, and, simply put, he had lost his passion for the server. Upon Riverwood's stagnation, ostrich1414 largely focused on building map arts, assisting others with small projects, or attending the occasional server event. On March 20th, 2021, ostrich1414 would help train MoWobbler as the newest SimPvP admin, a position which ostrich1414 himself pushed for. Ostrich1414 would also host the server's very first [[Map Art Competition]] throughout this month, with voting being held on April 1st. In total, thirteen map arts would be submitted, and forty-seven people would vote, making this competition a huge success. Ostrich1414 himself had even submitted an entry, "Portland Head Light", which came in second place.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Mo Admin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By early April, ostrich1414 was mentally drained. His latest project had been [[Iron Block]], a literal 32x32 floating cube of iron blocks near spawn, built out of boredom. He had been invited to revisit Three Words upon the base's restoration thanks to the [[Base Restoration Policy]], finally making amends with its members, although the incident still haunted him. Furthermore, ostrich1414 had no clear inspiration or ambition to continue with anything else, with his last project on the server being a refurbishment of a public spawn/end spawn portal with [[willowienal]]. On April 6th, 2021, ostrich1414 decided that it was best to take an extended hiatus and return to SimPvP when he was once again motivated and rejuvenated, marking this as yet another entry in his long list of hiatuses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Iron Block 1.png|400px]] [[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Pain.<br />
<br />
==Disillusionment.==<br />
<br />
So uh, that "hiatus" only lasted around a week. Awkward.<br />
<br />
After this week-long break, ostrich1414 would return to SimPvP, feeling slightly more motivated to play than he had prior to his departure. However, he was not as enthusiastic to play the server as he had once been months, or even years ago, and decided to lean in to a more casual approach of playing SimPvP. Around this time, ostrich1414's old ally cheesy_chips22 had finally returned from his own hiatus, and the two instantly reunited as they pondered the idea of starting a new Wilburian base, as they had worked together on Wilburia in 2020. Thus, on April 19th, 2021, the city of [[São Porco]] was officially founded: this would become the newest headquarters for the Order of Wilbur in their goal to reconstruct themselves and become much more active again. Numerous Wilburian members and allies would be invited to the city, including many former Quabbin and GFC members. Unlike many of ostrich1414's other bases, São Porco would embody a Brazilian-inspired theme, featuring tropical villages, favelas, hilly coasts, and cityscape inspired by the likes of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Ostrich1414 himself would assist cheesy_chips22 in the construction of the city's favelas and villages, shying away from his usual modern style and going for a more unique South American rustic influence in building.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco July 23 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Aside from his new project at São Porco, ostrich1414 would focus on more fun and casual events throughout the next few months on SimPvP. The server's 10 year anniversary would arrive on April 23rd, 2021, with ostrich1414 hosting a still-life museum in the events world, showcasing dioramas of many past wars in the server's history. A few days later on May 2nd, 2021, he would also host the Server Party at Quabbin, a follow-up to his previous Server Party at Quinsigamond back in 2018. The party at Quabbin would become one of the largest gatherings of players in server history, with 27 people showing up to the abandoned city of Quabbin (with ostrich1414 public revealing the coordinates for all to access). While the party would largely run smoothly, OperatorUltra's arrival would result in the deaths of a few party guests, including ostrich1414 himself, and a minor battle taking place. Later, on May 5th, ostrich1414 would be invited to the base Dreamscape by SkullerG, a small medieval-inspired village at the world border. Although his activity here would be minor and temporary, he nonetheless managed to construct two buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Server Party at Quabbin Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Server Party at Quabbin 2.png|400px]] [[File:ostrich1414 Dreamscape.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Arguably the most important event during this time period would occur on June 7th, 2021 when, after over two years of being bitter rivals who had been to war twice, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis (then still the Holy States of Francis) officially became allies together. This was a historic peace agreement as both Wilburians and Francillians had been notorious enemies on the server for years, but their post-Imperial War relations had become much more cordial as there proved to be no real benefit to their rivalry in this new era. A large peace summit between the two parties was held as representatives from both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis showed up to discuss terms of peace and alliance, steps for the future, and finally to sign a historic treaty of mutual partnership, with ostrich1414 and Lord1 signing on behalf of their respective parties. Finally, these once-rivals were friends.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COF Summit 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these monumental events, all was not well for ostrich1414. He was once again growing tired of SimPvP; unmotivated, disinterested, and disillusioned. By this point, he was beginning to notice a pattern in his lack of enjoyment for the server he had called "home" for almost seven years now; times have changed, and he was growing more cynical and unhappy. Much of this negativity was directly derived from ostrich1414's position as SimPvP's most active admin, a title he had been privately irritated by for months. Wanting to return to a more casual playstyle free from the stress and responsibilities of adminship, ostrich1414 submitted a two-week's notice to Yukarion in June 2021, and later resigned on July 7th. After serving as an admin for over a year, ostrich1414 had found that the once-coveted title had degraded him down to a shell of his former self. SimPvP was becoming less and less enjoyable, and the increasing toxicity and bitterness raging throughout the server was a major turn-off. Finally a regular player again, ostrich1414 became less active on the server as he focused on smaller projects here and there, from map arts to minor work around São Porco. Still, despite his depressive state worsening, his resignation as admin had lifted a major weight off of his shoulders.<br />
<br />
[[File:ostrich1414 Last Day as Admin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Degredation.==<br />
<br />
As the server further descended into chaotic toxicity and immorality, ostrich1414's own enjoyment of the server would be continuously tested and regressed. Much of this was due to a heated drama brewing within the server, a drama which ostrich1414 would be reluctantly dragged into. By July 22nd, 2021, the Order of Wilbur would forge an official three-part alliance with the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co., establishing the [[G.S.F.W.]] super-alliance. However, the Order of Wilbur's newfound diplomatic association with these two groups would involve it in an increasingly bitter rivalry with YMP; a few weeks earlier, the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co. had griefed Cope Town, a base in which two YMP members lived. However, even earlier than this, YMP had griefed Riverwood, the OOW and COF's joint spawn base. As such, the OOW would be dragged into this conflict, a conflict which would be made official when, on August 23rd, YMP griefed Sternenfall Nochmal--GS Trading Co.'s second main base which ostrich1414 had been a member of--and declared war against all three members of the G.S.F.W. Later that same day, ostrich1414 would participate in the raid and grief of Skyreach in retaliation for Sternenfall Nochmal. Still, despite this, ostrich1414 would participate very little in the ensuing conflict; on behalf of the OOW, he refused to recognize the "war", and even made attempts to stall aggression and even forge friendliness. One of these attempted acts of avoiding war was his peace conference with [[Nikoxlas]], the leader of the [[Confederacy of Man]] (which, at the time, was also at war with the COF), in order to forge an alliance with the OOW and eventually make peace; unfortunately, this attempt failed.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COM Conference.png|400px]] [[File:Skyreach Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the conflict, dubbed "The Big War" by YMP, continued, ostrich1414 attempted to further isolate himself from it, despite his clear affiliation with the G.S.F.W. Still, the drama was inescapable. One of the members of São Porco, [[bruno_vera]], was also a YMP member--a fact that made the rest of the city's members nervous due to YMP's obsession with griefing it. Ostrich1414, like many other São Porco members, felt that the city's demise was inevitable, and thus preferred to take its destruction into their own hands rather than by a rival group like YMP. Thus, on August 28th, ostrich1414 and several other Wilburians self-griefed São Porco after having raided it, preventing YMP from doing any damage to the city. Unfortunately, the worst of the conflict was yet to come; on September 21st, GS Base #3 (GS's main base at the time) was raided and destroyed by YMP after having been leaked by [[Redbaron1991]], prompting much of GS to leave the server or take a hiatus. By this point in time, ostrich1414 had almost completely isolated himself from the conflict, having no interest in the drama or politics at play, and, instead, wishing to be left alone. Still, he was saddened by GS's departure from SimPvP, as he had forged a long-term alliance with them for over a year.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the grief of São Porco and the very destructive conflict with YMP, ostrich1414 would still find time to enjoy himself on SimPvP--with what little enjoyment he had left. On August 21st, along with [[AntiFreezeFluid]], ostrich1414 founded the city of [[Gosnold]], an island base located roughly 7k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the city grew to be massive, and ostrich1414 invited every member of the Order of Wilbur and several members of the COF and GS. For a little over a month, Gosnold would flourish into a huge megacity, complete with skyscrapers, temples, and a massive offshore statue. Of course, due to only being 7k from spawn, ostrich1414 knew that Gosnold would not last very long, and he was proven correct when, on October 1st, it was severely griefed by [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]]. Other than Gosnold, ostrich1414 would also help found the more permanent city of [[New Yittrium]], the direct successor to São Porco. Shortly after self-griefing São Porco, ostrich1414 and a few of its active remaining members--MoWobbler, cheesy_chips22, willowienal, ElectricChugg, and [[GentleGiant69]]--would move to this new city and establish several farms and buildings, quickly replacing what had been destroyed at their previous base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold Boolin.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would begin to decline in activity at both New Yittrium and on the server in general, instead logging on periodically to explore spawn bases or to AFK at farms. With very little interest or incentive to keep playing, ostrich1414 felt that both the server's climate, and his previous enjoyment of it, had been degraded by meaningless conflict. Much like the outcomes of every other SimPvP war, ostrich1414 was once again plunged into a state of disillusionment, although this time, it had been a brewing disillusionment that had reached its climax thanks to the commonality of toxicity and the mass exodus of server regulars. In his eyes, SimPvP was entering another dark age.<br />
<br />
==Things are Looking Up==<br />
<br />
By mid October 2021, ostrich1414 felt that both he, and the server at large, where in one of its lowest points in history. Sick of the drama, toxicity, hatred, and disgust that was running amok on SimPvP, ostrich1414 felt that it was finally time for a change in scenery. On October 17th, he and willoweinal would discover the server Uneasy Vanilla, a semi-anarchy Minecraft server very similar to SimPvP, but with a much friendlier community than what SimPvP had at the time. Immediately falling in love with the server, ostrich1414 would slowly invite more and more SimPvP players to Uneasy Vanilla, building up a large group known as the "Dirty Moss Boys", establishing several bases, and forming relations with many UV regulars. However, after playing on UV for a month, an incident would occur at ostrich1414's main base when the server's admin unlawfully removed their obsidian farm; this severe act of blatant admin abuse angered him and his basemates, and they soon returned to SimPvP by mid November 2021.<br />
<br />
By the time ostrich1414 had returned from his month-long break, some things had changed. One of the players most responsible for the server's hostile toxicity had been jailed, and the conflict between YMP and the G.S.F.W. had largely ended. Furthermore, ostrich1414's experience with blatant admin abuse on UV made him realize that SimPvP was truly the server for him, and he once again became motivated to regularly play. This time, however, ostrich1414 would make a vow of relative neutrality; the conflict with YMP had severely demoralized him, and he did not wish to repeat it again. Instead, ostrich1414 made it his goal to focus on rebuilding and rebranding the Order of Wilbur, which had also suffered from the conflict. Deciding they wanted to instead focus on building, especially spawn projects, ostrich1414 and GentleGiant69 devised a plan to construct massive obsidian statues using their large reserve of obsidian at New Yittrium. Thus, the Order of Wilbur's first obsidian statue would be that of a T-rex on November 23rd; a day later, they would construct the [[Snail]], a massive obsidian snail near spawn. The Snail in particular would become one of the defining moments of the Order of Wilbur's reformation, and the project drew dozens of players to help aid in its construction. The Snail would be completed roughly two days later, consisting of 177,000 blocks of solid obsidian. Although the large project drew its fair share of conflict--including a few battles and an eventual lavacast--the Snail was nonetheless a success in terms of spwan projects, and the beginning of both ostrich1414 and the OOW's return to form.<br />
<br />
[[File:T-Rex Statue.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 1.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the OOW grew, adding more members and emphasizing a focus on spawn work, ostrich1414 also found himself starting a new base that would be handled by the group. On November 27th, several players that ostrich1414 had met on Uneasy Vanilla joined SimPvP, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Alongside [[LidGuy]], ostrich1414 brought them far out to a new location, where they eventually settled and founded the city of [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become a unique base, with its membership mostly composed of players who had played Uneasy Vanilla for some significant time; it soon became an affiliate base of the Order of Wilbur, and several other Wilburians were invited to join. Pangaea would flourish throughout the next few months, featuring a series of diverse styles of architecture and builds, from modern skyscrapers to medieval villages to rustic cabins to industrial farms. Ostrich1414 himself would invest heavily into Pangaea, constructing three skyscrapers and also building a sugar cane farm and a blaze farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pangaea Skyline January 29.png|400px]] [[File:Chilling in Villager Hall.png|400px]] [[File:Gonmoose at Pangaea 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By December 2021, [[Laztec]]--the OOW's most recent member at the time--would propose the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign, in which he aimed to clean up and repair much of spawn through a variety of different methods. Ostrich1414 personally loved this idea, and felt that their first course of action should be the removal of spawn's excessive water flooding. Thus, the two began to pull together a team of players dedicated to removing spawn's laggy water, with Laztec constructing numerous flying machines capable of removing large amounts of water at once. By mid December, the MSGA had managed to remove a massive section of water at spawn thanks to these efforts.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between December 2021 and January 2022, ostrich1414's newfound lifestyle of peace and neutrality, emphasized by his focus on OOW projects, had led him to enjoy SimPvP more than he had months prior. On January 4th, 2022, the Order of Wilbur officially left the G.S.F.W. in order to focus on its new commitment to neutrality; only a few days later, both [[jake276493]] and [[MrNutInYourButt]] were jailed and banned for x-raying, removing the little conflict remaining for ostrich1414 and his group. Finally, it felt like things were looking up: the OOW was flourishing, and ostrich1414 was enjoying his time on the server, focusing on building up both Pangaea and New Yittrium, as well as the occasional spawn project with the OOW. SimPvP as a whole was also become far less toxic and dramatic than it had been before his month-long break, and, to ostrich1414, this felt like the beginning of a new era of harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:SimPvP New Year's Day 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Wholesome: 100==<br />
<br />
The first five months of 2022 quickly proved to be one of the most enjoyable periods of SimPvP for ostrich1414 in recent memory, thanks to the relatively peaceful state the server was in. During this time, ostrich1414 focused primarily on the growth and reformation of the Order of Wilbur, adding new members to the group and expanding its list of projects, from community work at spawn to base building. Ostrich1414 would once again assist Laztec with his MSGA campaign, helping to finish remove the massive water cube at spawn and destroy the many lavacasts at spawn using recently re-enabled TNT duping, as well as destroy the lavacast around the Snail and replacing it with a protective water cube. Furthermore, alongside TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22, ostrich1414 focused on establishing and expanding the Stonetown Memorial Hub, the OOW's private portal hub that features links to many old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. This project would persist over the course of several months, starting in January, with ostrich1414 adding new rooms and one-way portal links while TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22 helped him decorate.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Water Removal Squad.png|400px]] [[File:Snail Cast Removal Team.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Memorial Hub.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 was also increasingly more active at his bases during early 2022, slowly regaining his motivation to build again after over a year of losing it. At New Yittrium, ostrich1414 focused on a project in which he flattened an entire savannah biome to one single y-level, then placing smooth stone slabs all over it. Inspired by the clear-cut borders of the location, ostrich1414 announced that his district at the base would become its own fully-independent, sovereign city-state known as the Republic of Wachusett. This sudden change soon inspired the rest of New Yittrium to do the same, with everyone establishing their own independent city-states and defining the international borders that separated them. This change to the base proved so great, in fact, that the members of New Yittrium decided to change its name to "Civitrium"; now, "New Yittrium" was just the name of MoWobbler's city-state, whereas "Civitrium" was the base as a whole. All the while, ostrich1414 would work on his own city-state, Wachusett, spending most of his time slabbing the flattened savannah and laying the groundwork for a new city atop it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Civitrium Gang February.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, he was also somewhat active at both Void City and Pangaea's successor, [[Kinabalu]]. At Void City, ostrich1414 would build for the first time in over a year, constructing a small apartment building originally designed by Korijenkins. Meanwhile, at Kinabalu, ostrich1414 would construct another one of his famous skyscrapers. Although his activity at Kinabalu would not be as great as at Civitrium's during this time, ostrich1414 had played a major role in founding the city back in February 2022, shortly after the abandonment of Pangaea due to poor security. Kinabalu, nonetheless, would flourish thanks to its many other active members, as would Void City, gaining a boost in building by April 2022.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void City April 9th.png|400px]] [[File:Early Kinabalu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Around this time, ostrich1414 would once again become majorly interested in basehunting, and spent much of April and May 2022 basehunting around the greater spawn region. In fact, much of the OOW was inspired to do the same, and the group had several large basehunting expeditions together. Ostrich1414 and his crew of basehunting Wilburians managed to discover many unique bases during this time, several of which had not been discovered yet. In fact, the Stonetown Memorial Hub that ostrich1414 had been working on would serve as a transportation / storage hub for particular basehunting endeavors.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Basehunting 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW Basehunting 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important event that would occur for ostrich1414 during this time was his reinstatement as admin on April 1st. Although he had originally not planned to ever return as admin again, he was persuaded to try once more by the other SimPvP admins, especially due to his difficulty of running the 2022 Map Art Competition as a non-admin. Nevertheless, the second-annual competition would once again prove to be a success, with eleven map arts being submitted in total and forty-four players coming to vote. Like last time, ostrich1414 would submit his own map art, ''Jules Winnfield'', which came in fourth place. Although ostrich1414 had strongly disliked being admin before, he found himself enjoying it far more this time, primarily due to the more "chill" atmosphere on SimPvP.<br />
<br />
[[File:2022 Map Art Competition Winners.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with a renewed love for SimPvP thanks to the friendlier environment, ostrich1414 found himself participating in several community events. He, along with several other Wilburians, were invited to the "3rd International Lord1 Day" on February 28th, hosted by the Church of Francis. He also aided GS Trading Co. with their removal of the lavacasts at end spawn, helping SkullerG hand-mine many of the lavacasts there over the course of a few months. He even took part in the small community spawn project run by SkullerG, known as "Fartopia", on May 6th. While ostrich1414 was far from being fully active and motivated, he was nonetheless enjoying SimPvP far more than he had in months, and was finally having fun again after nearly two years of server depression. It was truly Wholesome: 100 epic sauce fortnite Keanu Reeves (sorry).<br />
<br />

<br />
==Relapse into Stagnation==<br />
<br />
Although 2022 had been a significantly more enjoyable year for ostrich1414 overall, he once again found himself slipping into inactivity by the summer, an inactivity that only increased by the fall. While this inactivity was due to real life responsibilities rather than a disillusionment with SimPvP, it nonetheless resulted in a much slower decline in activity for ostrich1414. Still, he found himself partaking in many server events, particularly alongside the Order of Wilbur.<br />
<br />
July 2022 would be both ostrich1414 and the OOW's most important month of that summer. On July 10th, both ostrich1414 and Laztec founded [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's latest spawn base. Thanks to changes in build depth and terrain generation brought on by SimPvP's transition to 1.18, the group was able to build underneath bedrock at y=0 to create a floating base in the void, something that was not possible before. Shortly after its founding, numerous other Wilburians joined and Shadow Grove grew to become a modest, yet beautifully unique base. It would also take credit as the host the OOW's most important event of the year.<br />
<br />
[[File:Shadow Grove 1.png|400px]] [[File:Shadow Grove 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur officially celebrated its eight year anniversary, something it had been unable to do a year prior. The celebration occurred in two parts: first, all OOW members met in Stonetown, alongside their Church of Francis allies, to exchange gifts and partake in events. Second, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where they hosted an OOW-exclusive celebration. Ostrich1414 would gift each member an individualized, handwritten book, thanking them for all their help in growing the clan, and for making 2022 its best year yet. Afterwards, ostrich1414 and several other members would move on to the build server, where they partook in helping [[Nebuelaz]] test his upcoming event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]]. Having successfully founded and run an eight year old clan, ostrich1414 was truly satisfied to see how far the OOW had come, with this celebration being a highlight of his year.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW 8 Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the promising start of the summer, ostrich1414 soon fell into a period of stagnation, characterized by a new lack of motivation and inactivity. This time, however, it was not brought on by server drama or toxicity, but a general sense of disinterest in SimPvP, and real life responsibilities. Still, ostrich1414 made time for the server, finding himself participating in community events and projects here and there. Ostrich1414 would aid Laztec in his latest spawn effort, a large obsidian structure known as Terabyte, in early August. Alongside several other Wilburians, ostrich1414 helped place obsidian to produce yet another magnificent obsidian build. Later, on August 17th, ostrich1414 would surprisingly join GS Trading Co.'s new base, [[Wasted Disk Space (WDS)]], after being brought there at random by SkullerG (although he would not be active here for the rest of the year). He would also attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration within the Church of Francis, joining as a Wilburian diplomat.<br />
<br />
[[File:Terabyte 1.png|400px]] [[File:MrDavid99 COF Inaguration.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
From September to October, however, ostrich1414 was relatively inactive. At most, he would help out around his three main bases--Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City--and run the OOW behind the scenes. Aside from minor work here and there at these bases, ostrich1414 had a decline in interest, and less time, during these months. It wasn't until November when he would enter a month-long hiatus, not returning to SimPvP until early December. Ironically, this hiatus helped spark a renewed interest within him: ostrich1414 would find himself aiding [[dacegod863]] with his revitalization efforts at [[Fern Springs]], an abandoned OOW base that ostrich1414 himself had founded with TuataraBoots back in March 2022. Still, while things were going much better for ostrich1414, his interest in SimPvP had been steadily waning, only seeing him participate in major server events and projects.<br />

The Order of Wilbur is the oldest and longest-running clan still active today on SimPvP, having been founded shortly after the tragic death of [[Wilbur]] the Pig on July 29th, 2014, in [[Stonetown]]. Starting off as a very secretive and secluded cult dedicated to worshipping the life of their holy martyr Wilbur, the clan has since evolved and morphed over the years into a much larger and more public organization, shying away from its strictly-religious roots and branching off into the realms of base building and spawn projects. Unlike many other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur has always been very exclusive in its membership, and has maintained a tight-knit community with shared goals and values.<br />

=Membership=<br />
<br />
For many years, the Order of Wilbur has kept its membership private and confidential from the public, maintaining a model of secrecy and exclusivity. However, as the clan has grown and evolved over the years, the ability to maintain this secrecy frequently came into question. As of December 9th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur began to publicly reveal its membership list, no longer keeping its members confidential from the rest of the server. However, unlike other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur does not have any ranks or hierarchies; everyone is equal.<br />

=Beliefs and Structure=<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has slowly begun to open itself up to the public over the years, the clan nevertheless keeps much of its inner workings secret, including its core beliefs and objectives. However, the Order of Wilbur has maintained two primary goals regarding the worship of its Divine Lord, [[Wilbur]]:<br />
<br />
*To honor, worship and promote the life and teachings of Wilbur the Pig, who was so quickly taken from us.<br />
*To connect with Wilbur's heavenly spirit through holy rituals and offerings.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur was originally founded as a religious cult, and still primarily operates as a religious cult, it has slowly shed this aspect of its identity over time and has embraced a more secular approach to its format. That being said, the clan still worships Wilbur as its one true god, and nearly every Wilburian operated or affiliated base has a temple or "sanctuary" built at it for worship. Wilburian temples typically follow a similar theme, embracing the colors of pink, red, yellow, and orange as its primary team colors--this often leads to temples harboring a "fiery" aesthetic, with heavy lava and nether brick usage. Wilbur is still regarded as the team's idol and mascot, and although members are not forced to engage in religious practices, the worship of Wilbur as an idol is encouraged. "The Life of Wilbur", a book written by [[ostrich1414]] in 2014 while stoned, is often regarded as the clan's holiest text.<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur believes heavily in equality and refuses to discriminate within its membership. There are currently no ranks and no hierarchy within the group. While ostrich1414, as the team's original founder and oldest active member, is often regarded as its de facto "leader", he is not officially the leader of the Order of Wilbur, and instead regards himself as an elder founder. Every member of the group is equal and decisions are often made democratically. Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur encourages individuality and self-expression among its members, never denying their freedom of speech and allowing all members to express themselves as Wilburians however they wish.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has historically been an isolated team and has engaged in several wars, it has since favored a more diplomatic and oftentimes pacifistic approach to its political outlook. The Order of Wilbur no longer wishes to engage in battles, griefs, or wars unless absolutely necessary, preferring to sit out of major political crises. The team's primary focus consists of base building and spawn projects, with many unique cities and structures under its belt over the years. In recent times, the team has dedicated itself to community efforts in and around the spawn region, as well as organizing both team events and large server events, as well as constructing breathtaking megacities and iconic spawn structures.<br />
<br />
In terms of membership, the Order of Wilbur is very exclusive, only inviting trusted and well-respected regular players into its inner circle. New players are not allowed to become Wilburians, and anyone interested in joining must first prove their worth through server activity, hard work, and respect. Furthermore, new recruits are often approached by Wilburians to join, rather than vice versa, and initiations into the clan typically occur at the their holiest city, [[Stonetown]], in the form of a minor ceremony. The Order of Wilbur prefers a "quality over quantity" approach with its membership, and has carefully crafted a catalogue of well-respected and influential members over the years. In fact, the Order of Wilbur has laid claim to more [[Admins]] than any other team on SimPvP: as of December 2021, the Order of Wilbur has had five admins within its membership, with four currently serving as members, and one being a former admin.<br />
<br />
=Registry of Holy Sites=<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur, as of September 2021, established its "Official Registry of Holy Sites"--bases, places, and locations on SimPvP that have inherent holy and historic value to the Order of Wilbur, its culture, and its beliefs. The only condition is that a Holy Site must no longer be active as a settlement. These locations are thus listed as "Holy Sites" and are recognized as important for preservation.<br />

[[File:Order of Wilbur Timeline.png|800px]]<br />
<br />
==July 29th, 2014==<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014 in the small community of [[Stonetown]], player [[ostrich1414]] was on a mission to receive every achievement that Minecraft offered. As the achievements began to get more difficult, one of them stood out from the rest: "When Pigs Fly". To get this achievement, a player must ride atop a pig using a saddle and fly him off of a cliff, potentially killing both entities in the process. Thus, ostrich1414 went to pursue this goal as he searched the town for a seemingly harmless, innocent pig to use for his own desires.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The pig that ostrich1414 eventually found was named [[Wilbur]]: a pig who would soon become iconic. After mounting Wilbur and climbing up to the top of Stonetown's infamous Tree Dome, ostrich1414 pushed Wilbur forward and the two plummeted to their deaths, both dying upon impact.<br />
<br />
This death sparked server-wide controversy as players condemned ostrich1414 and his brutal actions which had resulted in Wilbur's murder. Almost immediately after the atrocity occurred, a memorial for Wilbur was constructed in both /world and in his hometown, Stonetown. A national mourning for his death was ordered and the date has since become that of legend.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Birth of a Cult==<br />
<br />
Immediately after the death of Wilbur, ostrich1414, with some help from [[JavelinFury]], established the Order of Wilbur in his honor. The Order of Wilbur was originally meant to be a highly secretive cult dedicated to worshipping Wilbur as a holy martyr, unjustly killed. For the first two years of its lifespan, the OOW was relatively quiet; only a handful of selected players were allowed to join the cult, including ostrich1414 and JavelinFury, as well as [[pippenger]], [[unclechain]], and [[INDIGO011]]. While membership was strict and exclusive, public knowledge of the cult was even more so: very few on the server were made aware of the OOW, and its rituals and values were kept secret. As Stonetown's activity soon waned and was eventually abandoned by late 2014, ostrich1414 still utilized the base as the OOW's headquarters, with it becoming the cult's unofficial capital city and holy ground.<br />
<br />
Between 2014 and 2015, the Order of Wilbur mostly constructed small temples around the server, usually in each new iteration of /world, and occasionally at bases and around spawn. It was also around this time in which ostrich1414 wrote the book "The Life of Wilbur" while high, a book which he has consistently regretted, but has since become a holy test for the clan. Nevertheless, the OOW's religious values were first and foremost for the cult, and while these were kept secret from the SimPvP public, ostrich1414, JavelinFury, and pippenger would occassionally leak information about it to draw curiosity from others. Unfortunately, by 2016, ostrich1414 had entered a long hiatus; this left the OOW largely inactive, with only JavelinFury involved with it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By 2017, ostrich1414 returned to the server in full force, eventually founding multiple bases and two new groups back-to-back: the [[United Alliance]] and [[The League]], both that same year. While the United Alliance and the League were separate individual clans with much larger, public presences on the server, they both accepted the Order of Wilbur as their primary religion of choice, and the cult secretly operated behind the scenes, establishing several temples--then known as "sanctuaries"--at both UA and League bases. The first major OOW "sanctuary" built in 2017 was at [[Quinsigamond]], followed shortly thereafter by [[Monarchia]], with both cities becoming major Wilburian strongholds. This would continue well into 2018, with the OOW functioning as a more public, yet still highly secretive and exclusive, religious cult.<br />
<br />
==Adapting to the Changes of 2019==<br />
<br />
In February of 2019, SimPvP entered an unprecedent player boom as hundreds of new players flocked to the server. By this point, the Order of Wilbur had been slowly growing in relevance and influence, and this new addition of players led the OOW to capitalize on their attention. By early 2019, [[Struthio]] was one of the defining cities of the time, and was also a major Wilburian powerhouse, with several temples scattered around the city. Later on, by May 2019, the city of [[Yittrium]] would be founded by both ostrich1414 and several of these new 2019 players, a few of whom were later accepted into the OOW as its newest generation of members. The largest Wilburian "sanctuary" yet would be established in Yittrium, and the city would quickly become the OOW's most powerful base yet, both in terms of influence and wealth. This also led the OOW to be catapulted into the server's spotlight as a major team. Despite this, the "secretive cult" aspect still largely remained, though it had begun to crumble as more publicity was brought to it.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioMay2019I.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Skyline WDL.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with this new player boom, and the OOW now becoming a major clan, some new religions would be founded in direct opposition to it. In early July 2019, the newly-established [[Church Of Fluz]] announced its public opposition to the Order of Wilbur and the prophet Wilbur himself. Originally created by [[TheOnlySlash]] and [[SirTashingdon]], the Church Of Fluz continued making blasphemous, defamatory remarks about the organization, thus forcing the Order of Wilbur to emerge from its secretive shadows and engage in a public rivalry with the Church (although the Church of Fluz would be a short-lived phenomenon, becoming inactive within a few months). The [[Church of Francis]] was another new religious organization formed in the summer of 2019 in August. Unlike the Church of Fluz, the Church of Francis established peaceful relations with the Order of Wilbur, and the two religions formed an alliance of mutual respect and worship. [[Lord1]], the church's founder, even went as far as to describe the two religions as "linked". Unfortunately, by October 2019, this good relationship would be fractured as war impended.<br />
<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]], which occurred between October 17th, 2019 - November 18th, 2019, was by far the most violent war in SimPvP history, with a series of bloody battles under its name. Ironically, it would be this war that would truly bring the Order of Wilbur into the limelight: prior to the war, the cult was rather secretive and isolationist, but this war catapulted the religion's interior organization and beliefs into the public eye.<br />
<br />
The war began on October 17th, 2019 when ostrich1414 declared war on the Church of Francis, seeing their growing size and influence as a threat to the Order of Wilbur as the server's dominant religion. Thus, a series of violent and destructive battles would occur throughout the duration of the war, with notable battles occurring in several cities like [[Castle Snowfrog]], [[Syracusai]], and [[Monarchia]]. While the Church of Francis would see a fair amount of victories in battle and acquired almost x2 more kills than the Wilburians, it was the Order of Wilbur that dominated the war, securing more victorious battles.<br />
<br />
[[File:WilburianAmryVictory.png|400px]] [[File:MonarchiaVictory1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur, due to its popularity, was able to secure and convert a much larger army of followers than the Church of Francis. The Wilburian army would be massive in size, with several battles dominating the Church of Francis in terms of player count. In fact, many soldiers who fought for the Order of Wilbur had previously been unaffiliated with the religion.<br />
<br />
On November 17th, 2019, on what is known as "V-Day", the Order of Wilbur emerged victorious after the Church of Francis surrendered following their most recent loss at the Battle of Syracusai. A massive peace conference and victory celebration was held at [[Virunum]], with ostrich1414 and Lord1, the Church of Francis General, signing a peace treaty together. This would be the most significant event in the history of the Order of Wilbur since the death of Wilbur, and their victory would prove their dominance over Francis and as the server's main religion. This would also plunge the Order of Wilbur into the public eye, making it less-secretive than it once had been.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 2.png|400px]] [[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Post-War Incidents of 2020==<br />
<br />
After the Order of Wilbur's victory during the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, a temporary period of peaceful reconstruction occurred between the two religions. Lord1 was invited to Yittrium in December 2019, which was a major Wilburian city, and both Lord1 and ostrich1414 had plans of making a joint Wilburian-Francillian temple there together. However, this period of peace between Wilburians and Francillians was cut short: between January 15th, and 17th, 2020, [[The Sigil Conflict]] occurred, which primarily resulted due to the resurgence of the rivalry. After the Church of Francis's [[Sigil]] temple was vandalized with pro-Wilburian propaganda, Lord1 initiated an assault on the city, annexing it for the Church of Francis and instigating a two-day religious conflict. This culminated in ostrich1414 arriving at the city, destroying the temple in the name of Wilbur, and fighting the Francillian occupants. While the Sigil Conflict would ultimately end in peace, this incident reignited the rivalry between the two factions.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]] [[File:Sigil Peace.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Another major incident occurred between April 15th and April 16th, this time in the Order of Wilbur's holy city, Stonetown. [[The Stonetown Incident]], once again between the Church of Francis and the Order of Wilbur, occurred when Lord1 attempted to fully annex the town for the Church of Francis, upon the gifting of the town's deed by [[Porkington]]. This was taken as an act of hostility by members of the Order of Wilbur, who reacted with anger and reclaimed Stonetown, threatening the Francillians. A back-and-forth of re-annexations occurred between the two religions, until the possibility of yet another war neared on the horizon. To prevent another war, Lord1 and ostrich1414 met at the neutral base [[Verillium]] to establish peace and identify Stonetown as a neutral base due to its sacred nature.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 4.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur==<br />
<br />
Between January 24th and May 6th, 2020, the Order of Wilbur saw the rise and progression of its first and largest city to date: the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], a.k.a. "Wilburia". The concept for a new Wilburian religious capital had been on ostrich1414's mind for years, but after the raid of Yittrium in January 5th, he was finally compelled to create Wilburia as a testament to his religious devotion. Ostrich1414 invited [[Zepheron]], [[cheesy_chips22]], and Porkington--three major devout Wilburians--to aid him in constructing the city.<br />
<br />
[[File:OG Wilburia Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Wilburia became known for the massive statue of Wilbur that served as the city's centerpiece, standing atop an ornate pedestal. Other major Wilburian landmarks included the religion's largest (and tallest) temple and a museum that house several significant items, ranging from Wilbur's original drops to Holy War artifacts. Wilburia was also an industrial powerhouse: it became one of the wealthiest, most powerful bases of its time, and propelled itself to the forefront of SimPvP politics. The Order of Wilbur's first major city was a success, and was growing rapidly.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia 3.png|400px]] [[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this success would be cut short when on May 6th, 2020, [[AntHand]] and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] discovered and annexed Wilburia. This angered its members severely, who protested the annexation and completely abandoned the city, moving on to new things. While the city luckily avoided griefing, it was largely looted for its remaining resources, and was considered fully abandoned and nonoperational, marking the end of the Order of Wilbur's powerhouse megacity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Destruction and Forgiveness==<br />
<br />
After the fall of Wilburia, the Order of Wilbur entered a small period of stagnation as many of its major members went on a hiatus or focused on other opportunities. By the summer of 2020, many Wilburians were involved in [[The Republic]], a newly-formed group dedicated solely to opposing Lord1 and even the Church of Francis itself. Since many Wilburians still harbored a hatred for the Church of Francis, they found the Republic to be a suitable home, including ostrich1414 and Zepheron themselves.<br />
<br />
Of course, this affiliation would have tragic results. After the Republic griefed [[Two Words]], the Church of Francis' main base at the time, Lord1 decided to retaliate by targeting Stonetown--the most sacred base in the Order of Wilbur, as well as one of the longest-lasting bases on SimPvP. After six years of remaining upkept, the Church of Francis had effectively destroyed Stonetown on June 23rd, 2020, reducing the holiest city in the religion to ashes. This action became immediately controversial, and left many Wilburians furious.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the Republic-Church of Francis beef would soon wane into obscurity, and by the fall of 2020, the Order of Wilbur was back to its period of stagnation. Meanwhile, the Church of Francis had been growing much larger, even establishing an empire. In the eyes of many Wilburians, this left them to view the Church of Francis as increasingly aggressive and imperialistic, only further straining their longtime rivalry. The last major incident between the two religions would occur on September 15th, 2020, when ElectricChugg was harassed and killed by several Francillians. Enraged by their actions and aggressions, ostrich1414 finally decided to retaliate and called for an organized battle to be held, the first armed conflict between Wilburians and Francillians since the Holy Wilbur-Francis War almost a year prior. Thus ensued the [[Battle of Swampland]], a major battle between Francillians Lord1, James8B, and xexc versus Wilburians ostrich1414, [[MoWobbler]], and ElectricChugg. Fought entirely in a swamp biome near spawn, the battle would rage on for nearly an hour. The only death would be ElectricChugg at the hands of Lord1, and eventually ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were forced to flee. This would result in a Church of Francis victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, as time went on, the two often-warring sides were beginning to open up to prospects of peace. On November 18th, 2020, the first major peace conference between the two would occur in the form of the one-year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War. Representatives of both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis both met in Verillium to celebrate both the end of the war and to admit to wrongdoings of the past. For the first time ever, both parties apologized for war crimes, griefs, and petty actions, with the first signs of peace beginning to blossom between the two.<br />
<br />
[[File:Holy War One Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:Holy War One Year 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==New Temples==<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the Order of Wilbur would begin to put more focus on individual structures in its catalogue. In August 2020, [[Zepheron]] founded what is known as "The Grand Sanctuary", a massive Wilburian temple located in the middle of a forest. Although largely unfinished, the current temple stands at an impressive size, with a design hearkening back to [[Strawman Temple]]. The temple consists of a columned Romanesque tomb-like building with pillars and Wilburian memoribilia everywhere. Originally, Zepheron anticipated the construction of a massive domed extension behind the current Grand Sanctuary, but it was unfortunately never completed.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Grand Sanctuary 1.png|400px]] [[File:The Grand Sanctuary 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After many months of no real progress, the Order of Wilbur finally bounced back when it decided to construct its first temple in the greater [[spawn]] region on December 3rd, 2020. Located in the middle of an ocean, ostrich1414, MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]] all worked to create a massive temple known as [[Suidae Temple]]. This structure would be unique for its composition of nine "tubes" all arranged in a 3x3 grid pattern, raising upwards with domes capping them off. The interior of the temple would contain systematic bridges sweeping through each leveled tube, as well as many religious memorabilia and monuments to Wilbur.<br />
<br />
[[File:Suidae Temple Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Suidae Temple Shader 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Both the Grand Sanctuary Suidae Temple would mark the Order of Wilbur's first foray into influencing spawn, something the Church of Francis had been steadily doing throughout the latter half of 2020, as well as the creation of brand new places of worship. These would also be the Order of Wilbur's first major construction projects since the City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur had fallen.<br />
<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur would officially participate in its second major war against the Church of Francis, more than a year after the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, upon the declaration of [[The Imperial War]]. Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur joined the People's Coalition as a founding member, a loose collective of various groups dedicated to waging war against the Francillians. Although the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had begun to see some signs of peace in late 2020, many players, including ostrich1414 himself, had become fed up with the Francillians' imperialistic virtues and their increasingly more erratic behavior. After [[Sellout9]] and SimCoin were killed in /world by the Francillians, however, ostrich1414 was urged to gather an army of like-minded SimPvP players and unite against the Church of Francis, as the People's Coalition declared war against them on December 10th.<br />
<br />
[[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Imperial War was much more chaotic, destructive, and hate-filled. Numerous griefs took place throughout the duration of the war: the People's Coalition griefed two Francillian outposts, Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle, on the day of the war declaration, with the Church of Francis responding by griefing [[New Oberstein]], and then [[Tol Honeth]], the next two days. The first half of the war was largely characterized by this strategy, with back-and-forth griefs between the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis--however, at first, many of the griefed bases were inactive or abandoned. Soon, Bitchport, New Brunoland, GS Base #1, RBC Spawn Base, McCapital, and [[Florestria]] would follow suit, all being griefed by both parties. Of course, many battles would take place as well, mostly located in /world or nearby spawn. Despite most of these battles being small skirmishes or ambushes, the largest battle would take place on December 17th in /world, in which a large number of troops from both sides would meet and fight--although there would be no clear victor.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war would become much more chaotic and personally devastating to those affected. This began when the Church of Francis targeted and raided [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first active city to be affected by the war. This left numerous members of the People's Coalition homeless and angry, with tensions and bitterness soaring. The People's Coalition would hit back by griefing [[Swaglabs]], with which the Church of Francis would respond by griefing Axetown. However, the breaking point would occur on January 11th, 2021, when the People's Coalition made a surprise ambush by raiding and annexing [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main city. The base was discovered by AntHand, using a then-secret wolf tracking exploit, rendering the otherwise secure base defenseless. This made Lord1 and the rest of the Church of Francis furious, with tensions now reaching a boiling point. Things only worsened when the People's Coalition raided [[Pepe's Holy Land]] seven days later, another secure Francillian base. Although the battles and skirmishes had completely halted by this point, tensions flared between both affected parties.<br />
<br />
[[File:Swaglabs Grief 2.png|400px]] [[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, on January 28th, 2021, peace would be made. After over a week of negotiations and peace talks between the two warring parties, agreements were finally reached. Both the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis were drained and disillusioned by the war: what had started as a seemingly tongue-in-cheek conflict had grown into a truly devastating crisis, leaving many homeless and angry. Now that the war was over, representatives from both parties met at Gibraltar Castle to finalize the peace agreements, thus ending the Imperial War for good. The Order of Wilbur promptly departed from the People's Coalition, with one of their agreements in the peace talks to never initiate war with the Church of Francis again.<br />
<br />
[[File:Imperial War Peace 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Reconstruction==<br />
<br />
After the Imperial War had finally ended, the Order of Wilbur entered a period of moderate reconstruction. Their long-time rivalry with the Church of Francis (now the Holy States of Francis) had culminated into two wars, a series of conflicts and battles, and all-around bitterness and toxicity between members. By this point, ostrich1414 had grown weary of the rivalry, and desired a true state of peace between the two entities.<br />
<br />
On February 15th, 2021, ostrich1414 founded [[Riverwood]], a small town with the goal of recruiting new players and helping to get them started on the server. Within the first week, Riverwood had successfully recruited over a dozen new players, all of whom assisted in expanding and growing the town significantly. Seeing this as an opportunity to finally promote peace and unity, the Order of Wilbur and the Holy States of Francis agreed to use Riverwood as a joint base for just that, with each constructing a temple within the town. For the first time ever, a Francillian and a Wilburian temple existed in harmony in the same location; Lord1 and ostrich1414 used this as a means to showcase the importance of unity and respect to their new recruits, many of whom quickly excelled on the server. Despite these initial gains, however, Riverwood would slowly fall into a period of inactivity by March--but its peace with the Francillians remained.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
For almost two years now, the Order of Wilbur had stayed from its initial purpose as a "secretive cult" and had become engrossed in the server's limelight through many major incidents with the Holy States of Francis. Ostrich1414 had a desire to bring the organization back to its roots, wanting to descend the Order of Wilbur back into the shadows as SimPvP's most exclusive religious group. As such, a few new members were initiated and plans were drafted for brand new community projects, akin to Suidae Temple. The first of these projects would be the refurbishment of a public spawn / end spawn portal used by many players; ostrich1414 and [[willowienal]] cleaned up the spawn side of it, making it look much nicer and adding new amenities. The group had also begun to make several changes to its internal infrastructure, putting an emphasis on community building projects over military prowess.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==São Porco==<br />
<br />
Ever since the fall of Wilburia in May 2020, the Order of Wilbur had lacked an official headquarters. This would change on April 19th, 2021, when cheesy_chips22 returned to the server after a long hiatus and reunited with ostrich1414, and the two founded the city of [[São Porco]]. Unlike Wilburia before it, São Porco would be a new Wilburian capital city with an immensely different theme and aesthetic: it is largely influenced by Brazilian architecture and inspired by coastal, tropical cities within the country, including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Settling on a jungle biome along the ocean, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 set to work, recruiting a number of Wilburian members and close allies to join as farms and builds immediately sprung up.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Gang 1.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Embracing the new Brazilian/South American theme, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 headed construction of Vila Porta, a rustic tropical village along the coast, centered around the city's portal hub. Underneath this village, MoWobbler would create a massive, sprawling sewer system composed of mazes, tunnels, traps, hidden rooms, and an underground city. [[Bruno_vera]] would assist with this project and establish a series of catacombs within the sewer system. Meanwhile, [[GentleGiant69]], [[ElectricChugg]], and willowienal would focus on broadening São Porco's collection of farms; some of these high-quality farms include a ghast tear farm, a wither skeleton farm, an iron farm, a mob farm, a totem farm, a bartering farm, and more, as well as SkullerG's five-level gold farm. Nearby Vila Porta, a dense district primarily composed of skyscrapers would develop, containing the city's main storage facility. However, most notably, cheesy_chips22 would work on São Porco's most anticipated project, its hillside favelas, sprawling randomly along the rugged man-made mountains along the coast. Unlike Wilburia's more calculated city aesthetic, São Porco would become a much more community-driven capital for the Order of Wilbur.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Alliance with Francis and the G.S.F.W.==<br />
<br />
Historically, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had been bitter rivals, having gone to war twice and participating in a number of griefs and battles against each other by mid-2021. However, in post-Imperial War SimPvP, the overall climate was changing as the two enemies slowly began to warm up to each other. This progression towards comradery was catapulted by their joint base Riverwood in February, as well as the COF's focus on the [[Confederacy-Francis War]] starting in May, giving them a new rival to engage with--the [[Confederacy of Man]]. Furthermore, both the OOW and COF's long-term goals were becoming more similar: to shy away from drama and focus more community-driven build projects. Of course, the thing that truly helped were the personal relationships shared between many members of both teams, as players were far more friendly with each other than bitter.<br />
<br />
On June 7th, 2021, a historic moment was made when, for the first time in over two years as warring enemies, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis became official allies. A peace conference was held at a site a few thousand blocks away from [[Quabbin]], to which several members from both groups arrived to accept the new era of peace they were entering into. At the conference, the two teams would apologize for past wrongdoings and propose ideas for future joint endeavors to strengthen their bond as allies, as well as establishing overall objectives for their new alliance. Ostrich1414 and Lord1, as heads of their respective teams, would proceed to sign a formal and official peace treaty, which was then distributed to all Wilburians and Francillians alike.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COF Summit 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Shortly after the alliance, both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis would engage in talks with [[GS Trading Co.]] (a team which both the OOW and COF were already closely allied with) to establish a potential super-alliance. This new coalition was eventually founded in late June, known by the simple title of "[[G.S.F.W.]]", referencing the names of each participating team. Although the three powers had grand plans to work on collaborative bases and projects together, these plans were quickly put to the side as a new threat suddenly loomed over the group: YMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]]. Although the Order of Wilbur and GS Trading Co. had been on good terms with YMP for a while, their sudden formal alliance with the COF (a team which YMP still hated) caused them to be roped into a sudden conflict. While the origins of this conflict are complicated, it largely began after the COF and GS griefed Cope Town on July 10th, a base founded by YMP members [[1590283112]] and [[DKC]]; however, even before this, YMP had griefed Riverwood on June 29th, which, although long since abandoned by then, was a shared base between the OOW and COF.<br />
<br />
By early August, it was apparent that another era of drama was coming, although unlike the Imperial War when the Order of Wilbur took an active approach in perpetuating it, they were this time largely uninterested in engaging with diplomatic crises. With both YMP and even the Confederacy of Man still engaging in conflict with the COF and GS, ostrich1414, on behalf of the Order of Wilbur, attempted to use his goodwill with COM leader [[Nikoxlas]] to stage peace talks between the two teams at Yittrium on August 7th. Unfortunately, this would go nowhere, and constant battles and ambushes in /world between YMP/COM and GS/COF/OOW would occur. On August 23rd, 2021, YMP would grief GS Trading Co.'s abandoned former capital, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]]--a base which had also housed Wilburians ostrich1414 and MoWobbler. This was met with a swift response by G.S.F.W., who retaliated by targeting an abandoned YMP base, Skyreach, that very same night.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COM Conference.png|400px]] [[File:Skyreach Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Shortly after these two back-to-back griefs, YMP would declare war on GS Trading Co., the Church of Francis, and the Order of Wilbur, respectively; however, none of these teams would recognize this war, and refused to respond with a counter-declaration. Nevertheless, this sudden conflict and ensuing drama worked to bring the members of G.S.F.W. closer together than ever, making it one of the most sturdy and powerful alliances in modern SimPvP history.<br />
<br />
==A Crippling Conflict==<br />
<br />
Despite the Order of Wilbur being adamant on staying out of the conflict with YMP, preferring to maintain diplomacy over war, it would constantly find itself dragged in, whether through its alliance in G.S.F.W. or through the aggression of YMP. Wilburians would often find /world to be too hostile to use, regularly getting ambushed and attacked by YMP members. However, their worst hit of the conflict would occur due to the serious security risks imposed at São Porco. Although bruno_vera had been both a member of São Porco and the Order of Wilbur for several months, he was also a member of YMP, and it was becoming clear that his priorities lay more with YMP than the Wilburians. This seriously worried the other members of the base, who felt that bruno_vera would become a liability and eventually leak the city--and this was not an unfound concern, as YMP had made several threats against São Porco throughout the conflict. This paranoia reached its boiling point when several key members of São Porco held serious reason to believe that bruno_vera had betrayed them and the city in favor of YMP; not wanting to risk the city falling into their hands, the members instead opted to loot the entire city, grief it, and abandon it. Thus, on August 28th, 2021, São Porco was severely griefed by a few of its members and promptly abandoned, while bruno_vera was officially kicked from the clan.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although the opportunity for YMP to grief São Porco had ended, the Order of Wilbur was nonetheless devastated by the loss of its capital city, being forced to relocate to a temporary location underground. They would eventually move to a new, more secure location much further out, establishing their newest capital city, [[New Yittrium]], on September 4th. All the while, the conflict between G.S.F.W. and YMP would continue, eventually culminating into the most severe casualty when, on September 21st, 2021, GS Trading Co.'s main base was raided and griefed by YMP, promptly ending GS's dominance on the server. This created a major rift within the G.S.F.W. as many GS members left the server, leaving it more COF and OOW dominated. Nevertheless, the conflict, which would ultimately go on to be known as [[The GS YMP Conflict of 2021]], would dissolve into an unofficial armistice as hostilities ended by October 2021.<br />
<br />
[[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Not wanting to be restricted by the conflict, the Order of Wilbur instead opted to be defiant of the toxicity and hostility, and founded its first major spawn base in months. On August 21st, 2021, ostrich1414 and [[AntiFreezeFluid]] would found the city of [[Gosnold]], located on an island roughly 7.6k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the Order of Wilbur were determined to make it both the largest and most luxurious city in the greater spawn region, modeling the city off of other iconic Wilburian megacities like Yittrium and Quabbin. Gosnold would consist primarily of tall concrete skyscrapers, many of which were built by both ostrich1414 and AntiFreezeFluid themselves. However, all Wilburians were invited to join the city, and eventually the city was opened up to all G.S.F.W. members. Outside of Wilburians, several Francillians would arrive at the city to build, and it became the second joint Wilburian-Francillian city in SimPvP history. The city's skyline was soon dotted by a plethora of unique skyscrapers, as well as temples for both the OOW and COF, a few basic farms, and its central city hall. Willowienal would even begin work on a massive stone statue of Jesus Christ nearby the city's shores.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold Chillin 1.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold Boolin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Gosnold's inevitable demise would come sooner rather than later, and the Order of Wilbur were unable to completely ignore the ongoing hostilities of the conflict. In what would largely become the last major event of the declining G.S.F.W. / YMP conflict, the Order of Wilbur received intel that YMP was actively searching for Gosnold, determined to destroy it. The city had been growing significantly throughout September 2021, but on October 1st, all that would change--and, ironically, not from YMP. [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]] were discovered severely griefing Gosnold, block-by-block, until each skyscraper was completely dismantled, as if nothing was there. The Operators were discovered in the midst of their grief by 1590283112, and a battle thus ensued, with vv101zeli and jake276493 soon arriving to assist 1590283112 against the Operators. Unfortunately, Gosnold would be severely and utterly griefed, although not in the traditional sense; roughly three-quarters of its cityscape was removed by the Operators, leaving behind a hollow shell of what was once spawn's most unique city.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
With the self-grief of São Porco, the dismantling of Gosnold, and the numerous ambushes and attacks at the hands of YMP, as well as the degredation of their allies, the Order of Wilbur had suffered significantly from a conflict in which they never wanted to participate in. Because of this, many Wilburians were left in a depressive state, discouraged by the conflict that had ravaged them.<br />
<br />
==The Wilburian Reformation==<br />
<br />
Between mid October 2021 and mid November 2021, the Order of Wilbur entered a temporary state of demoralization and inactivity due to the immense trauma from the conflict with YMP, and the overall toxic state of the server. Several Wilburians relocated from SimPvP to another semi-anarchy Minecraft server known as Uneasy Vanilla during this time, while the remainder kept quiet on SimPvP. Despite this brief break, the team would once again regroup in mid November following their return from Uneasy Vanilla, noticing that the server climate had slightly improved during their break.<br />
<br />
Thanks to a high-output obsidian farm at New Yittrium, GentleGiant69 and ostrich1414 devised a plan to put their surplus reserves of obsidian to good use, in the form of massive statues and structures around spawn. On November 23rd, the OOW constructed a large obsidian T-rex, their first major spawn project since Gosnold. The next day, however, they would begin construction on their magnum opus: the [[Snail]]. Consisting of over 177,000 blocks of obsidian, and completely solid, this massive obsidian snail statue would instantly becoming the largest obsidian structure at SimPvP spawn. The project itself became a serverwide sensation, drawing over twenty participants, all aiding in the construction of the statue and the placement of obsidian. Between November 24th and 26th, the Snail was miraculously completed, even despite facing the threat of several battles that occurred on site. Thanks to their success, both the T-rex and Snail statues would revitalize the OOW's motivation for SimPvP and help reform them into a group with new goals and aspirations.<br />
<br />
[[File:T-Rex Statue.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 1.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By this point, the Order of Wilbur was slowly growing into a more public and accepting clan, although it still kept a tight grip on its exclusivity. The emphasis on religion that had been there since 2014 had been slowly waning over time, and a new period of focus on base building and spawn projects was becoming more apparent. By December 9th, the OOW would officially release their member list to the public, a first for the clan in SimPvP history. This would come after the acceptance of a few new members, adding to the team's growth.<br />
<br />
On November 27th, the Order of Wilbur would once again fund another major base when ostrich1414 helped establish several players from Uneasy Vanilla, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Along with [[LidGuy]], these seven players moved much further out and eventually settled on a coastal area, founding a new city known as [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become an affiliated base of the OOW, and several other Wilburians would arrive to help build at the city, including MoWobbler, ElectricChugg, GentleGiant69, [[Laztec]], and willowienal. Thanks to their obsidian farm, the Wilburians helped fund Pangaea's three-layer gold farm, as well as several skyscrapers and other buildings and farms. Over the course of the next few months, Pangaea would flourish in activity and progress, becoming a much larger city complete with a diverse set of builds in different architectural styles. It would also house many other non-Wilburians who would help contribute to the city's growth.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pangaea Skyline January 29.png|400px]] [[File:Chilling in Villager Hall.png|400px]] [[File:Gonmoose at Pangaea 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the OOW's greatest achievement during this period of internal reformation would occur between early to mid December 2021, thanks to Laztec's introduction of the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign. This campaign was determined to repair spawn through a variety of different methods, from clearing lavacasts to fixing highways; however, the first step the MSGA campaign would take under both Laztec and ostrich1414's supervision was the "Water Removal" project, in which the OOW and their allies focused on removing spawn's excessive water flooding in an effort to reduce FPS lag. By December 15th, the MSGA had been successful, clearing a large portion of spawn's largest water pocket thanks to a combined effort of Laztec constructing water-eating machines and the manual use of sponges and other solid blocks.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to the success of these many OOW-led spawn projects, as well as a few other secret ones, the group felt that they were establishing a new purpose for themselves. Furthermore, the team was unanimously opposed to drama and conflict; the toxicity of 2021, especially the conflict with YMP, had soured their interest in server politics, and by 2022, they had all but embraced neutrality. Despite this, they were still official members of the G.S.F.W., a super-alliance that did not feel fully neutral and was once again being targeted by YMP. Wanting to fully express their neutrality and focus on themselves as a group, and their own personal goals and objectives away from SimPvP politics and drama, the OOW officially withdrew from the G.S.F.W on January 4th, 2022 thanks to a unanimous decision from its members, effectively ending the alliance.<br />
<br />
Once again free to keep to themselves, the OOW had many projects to focus on. Void City, New Yittrium, and Pangaea were prospering cities, growing in size and wealth, and the group's many other side projects were keeping them busy and motivated. TuataraBoots and ostrich1414 would take charge in the creation of a secure portal hub explicitly for use by Wilburians, using a series of one-ways to bring them to several bases. Other projects would be devised and planned, with Laztec even announcing the future continuation of the MSGA campaign. It was clear to many that the Order of Wilbur had emerged from the ashes of trauma and depression and had bloomed once again, experiencing a major reformation as a group and, arguably, entering a new renaissance period.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Memorial Hub.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Continued Prosperity==<br />
<br />
As the Wilburian Reformation period continued, with new members being added to the group and new projects being planned and constructed, the Order of Wilbur was immersed in its most prosperous period yet. Fortunately, the first few months of 2022 would prove to be the most peaceful era of SimPvP in years, and the OOW's new objectives of staying neutral and peaceful allowed them to flourish and focus on numerous projects, from more work at spawn to base building and recruitment.<br />
<br />
Laztec's trademark MSGA campaign would continue under the Order of Wilbur's supervision and funding, although a new multi-clan organization, known as [[The Federation]], would be founded by Laztec on February 20th to centralize these spawn efforts. The water removal campaign continued on throughout January and into February, with "Phase II" of the MSGA taking hold after a short hiatus. After the team managed to remove a large chunk of SimPvP spawn's water, Laztec focused his efforts on setting up TNT dupers to destroy spawn's many lavacasts (thanks to the recent re-addition of TNT duping at spawn). One major project for the MSGA involved the clearing of lavacasts covering the Snail, the OOW's other major project months prior. Once the casts were cleared, Laztec and ostrich1414 headed a massive community project that involved the water-cubing of the entire Snail; essentially, all of the Snail was now underwater, preventing it from being lavacasted effectively. Unfortunately, due to the opposition of some players like TheOnlySlash and bruno_vera, many of the lavacasts destroyed by the MSGA were quickly replaced.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Water Removal Squad.png|400px]] [[File:Laztec on a TNT Duper.png|400px]] [[File:Watercubed Snail.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects, many Wilburian bases entered a period of growth and prosperity. Although the city of Pangaea had become a major security risk (having been discovered by two different players twice) and was promptly abandoned, the core members of the city would move on to found a brand new city, even bigger, better, and more secure than Pangaea: [[Kinabalu]]. Primarily made up of OOW members and a few other outside allies from Pangaea, Kinabalu would become another massive modern city for the group, boasting several sleek skyscrapers, high-powered farms, and other beautiful builds. Cheesy_chips22's medieval neighborhood would become a defining feature of the city, as well as LidGuy's skyscraper district and Laztec's massive villager breeding complex, Breed Corp. Unlike Pangaea, which largely functioned as a recruit base and had no real city planning, Kinabalu blossomed as a well-planned, self-sufficient city, become one of the OOW's major components.<br />
<br />
[[File:Early Kinabalu.png|400px]] [[File:AntiFreezeFluid Kinabalu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, the OOW's capital city, New Yittrium, would be thriving as well during this period. Already having created many high-tech farms thanks to GentleGiant69 and ElectricChugg, the city finally began to focus more on aesthetic builds by late March 2022. In fact, New Yittrium would undergo a massive restructuring process by April, going so far as to reshape its entire identity and rename itself. New Yittrium would subsequently change its name to "Civitrium", with the name "New Yittrium" now belonging solely to MoWobbler's district--in fact, Civitrium was now made up of several sovereign city-states, with each city-state having its own name and aesthetic. Civitrium was now the name for the "continent" in which these city-states existed, or the base overall, and each city-state established borders amongst each other. Outside of these changes, the city continued to flourish, quickly becoming the OOW's wealthiest city to date.<br />
<br />
[[File:Civitrium Gang February.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The OOW's two other staple cities, [[Void City]] and [[Nova Aeterna]], also experienced growth. While Void City had been relatively stagnant for some time, it experienced another building boom by April, with Korijenkins, TheOnlySlash, and ostrich1414 contributing new builds. Meanwhile, DakkaDok would work diligently on growing and expanding Nova Aeterna, his latest endeavor in the "Nos Astra" series of bases. Void City and Civitrium would form a very close trade relationship during this time, with ostrich1414 and Korijenkins consistently trading between themselves to contribute to the growth of each base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void City April 9th.png|400px]] [[File:NovA 25 2 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects and bases, the OOW would grow closer as a community. One common activity that the group engaged in frequently together was basehunting, mostly around the greater spawn region. This was largely inspired by the growth of the OOW's private portal hub, known as the Stonetown Portal Hub, which housed access to numerous old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. In fact, the hub itself would become a long-term project for the team, with ostrich1414, TuataraBoots, cheesy_chips22, and LidGuy all investing in its construction and expansion, including new links, new rooms, and new sections. Thanks to all of the above, the OOW's internal community would become its strongest yet, and the constant upward trajectory of the group enabled it to grow closer than ever before. Of course, the OOW would still occasionally participate in other community events, from the COF's "3rd Annual International Lord1 Day" party in February to assisting the GS-sponsored reparation of end spawn throughout February to April.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Complacency==<br />
<br />
After many months of increased growth and prosperity thanks to the Wilburian Reformation, the Order of Wilbur would finally enter a slower period by the start of summer in 2022. Large spawn projects and community events hosted by the OOW would quietly diminish as the group began focusing on their own bases, with Civitrium and Kinabalu especially growing during this period of time. Although June would be a relatively quiet month for the team, July would become one of their most important. The month would begin with the founding of [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's newest community project. Founded on July 10th by ostrich1414 and Laztec, Shadow Grove was unique for taking advantage of a new feature brought to SimPvP thanks to the upgrade to 1.18: building under bedrock. Due to new changes in build depth and terrain generation, the group could now build in the void under bedrock. Thus, Shadow Grove was born: a small, rustic base located not far from spawn, floating within the void under bedrock. Although Shadow Grove would grow modestly, with a few Wilburians working on the base, it would become the site of the group's most important celebration yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Shadow Grove 1.png|400px]] [[File:Shadow Grove 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur would celebrate its eight year anniversary at two locations: first, at Stonetown alongside the Church of Francis, and second, at Shadow Grove, exclusive for Wilburians. This was an important moment for the OOW: not only was it celebrating eight years of existence (the longest of any clan on SimPvP), but it was the first time that the OOW was able to celebrate its anniversary in years, being unable to do so in 2021 due to the crisis with YMP. At Stonetown, the OOW would celebrate alongside their allies, the Church of Francis, exchanging gifts and partaking in other events. Then, shortly afterwards, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where every member was given an individualized, handwritten book from ostrich1414, among other gifts. The celebrations concluded with the OOW moving to the build server, helping Nebuelaz work on testing his then-in-progress event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]].<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW 8 Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The next few months would steadily slow down for the OOW as members lapsed into periods of inactivity, or focused on building their bases, but community events and projects would still occur. Laztec would lead the construction of two more massive obsidian structures in early August: Terabyte and Millennium Bridge. Although Terabyte was a bit smaller in scale, and primarily constructed by Wilburians, Millennium Bridge was a behemoth of a project that required the assistance of numerous helpers outside the OOW, easily becoming the largest obsidian structure in SimPvP history at nearly 1,200 blocks long and around 175,000 total obsidian. Unfortunately, Millennium Bridge would also become the target of terrorist attacks throughout the month, primarily at the hands of [[Goujon]] and [[f8tal]], both of whom lavacasted and withered it. Outside of these two projects, however, the OOW's involvement in large-scale community projects would decline.<br />
<br />
[[File:Terabyte 1.png|400px]] [[File:Terabyte 2.png|400px]] [[File:BridgeRender2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to its staunch emphasis on neutrality, the OOW would entirely avoid involvement in [[The Dominion-Francis Conflict]], which occurred throughout September to November 2022. Despite being closer allies with the Church of Francis, the OOW chose not to pick sides and largely remained uninvolved. Still, the group would continue to maintain friendly ties with the COF: ostrich1414 would attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration on September 3rd as a Wilburian diplomat, while Laztec would attend a summit between the COF and the Modern Communist Agency on October 19th. Another interesting occurrence was [[dacegod863]]'s decision to revitalize [[Fern Springs]], a forgotten and abandoned OOW spawn base that was originally founded by ostrich1414 and TuataraBoots in March 2022. Although the two had abandoned the base after one building, dacegod863 would start building there again in early December, breathing new life into the forgotten town and completely refreshing it, leading other Wilburians to return to the site and build. However, as a whole, the OOW had become much quieter by September, with most members focusing on their bases like Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City. After many exciting months of growth, progress, and projects, it began to appear as though the OOW was falling into a period of stagnation. This was proved further by ostrich1414's month-long hiatus in November, arguably the slowest month for the OOW of 2022. Although the year had been stellar for the group, the cracks were beginning to show.<br />

<br />
Ostrich1414 was a player and former admin who joined the server on December 27th, 2013. He was noteworthy for being the server's only black player and one of its most frequent AFK players, as well as a dedicated Masshole and cynical shitposter with a self-deprecation problem.<br />
<br />
On October 16th, 2023, ostrich1414 would intentionally build and use a carpet duping machine in order to quit the server; he was subsequently jailed for duping and demoted. He has NOT regretted this decision one bit!<br />
<br />
Whatever you do, ''do not'' type /age ostrich1414 on SimPvP!<br />
<br />
=History=<br />
<br />
==The Worst Mistake I've Ever Made==<br />
<br />
On the cold, snowy day of December 27th, 2013, player ostrich1414 logged onto SimPvP with his friend PlayaSwoop9. Looking for a vanilla server to grief and destroy people's work, the two headed away from the mangled mess of [[Spawn]], but didn't get far; they both died various times due to lack of food.<br />
<br />
At the time, ostrich1414 and PlayaSwoop9 were noobs and had no idea how to play Minecraft at all; they had both just recently gotten the game for the first time.<br />
<br />
However, a miracle would soon arrive: [[DeflowVesper]], an admin, helped lead the two noobs to safety, bringing them to [[Castle Snowfrog]] where they indulged in hundreds of melons and built a small, cobblestone cube to live in within the castle's grounds.<br />
<br />
[[File:CS2018.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
PlayaSwoop9 later left the server and never returned, unimpressed by it. Ostrich1414, however, took a liking to it and stuck around Castle Snowfrog for a few weeks. Here, he developed a small friendship with snowfrog43 and helped to maintain the castle by farming and simply cleaning it up a bit.<br />
<br />
==Alliance with Pippenger==<br />
<br />
One day while in Castle Snowfrog, ostrich1414 began a conversation in the chat with a player named [[Pippenger]]. After talking for a few hours, where he educated ostrich1414 on Minecraft basics, Pippenger invited him to a base he was currently working on, known simply as "[[The Stomping Ground]]". Ostrich1414 traveled there and met up with Pippenger, who was working on the base alongside [[Mr._Hole_Digger]]. Construction on the base began around January 2014.<br />
<br />
Pippenger was very kind to ostrich1414, giving him the freedom to build whatever he wanted and a limitless supply of tools and materials for his creations. With these, ostrich1414 built a shitty house on the edge of a bay: his first "major" build on the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:SGI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Early that same year, ostrich1414 collaborated with pippenger once again, as well as Cdnam5, as they built [[Uinia]], a large castle near spawn; they also founded "The Noobtree Foundation", a short-lived organization dedicated to assisting new players and repairing spawn.<br />
<br />
[[File:UiniaIII.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==A Journey of Self==<br />
<br />
When The Stomping Ground began to dissolve and Uinia was completed, and work in general was slowed to an abrupt end, Pippenger left to tend to other bases while ostrich1414 decided to set out on his own. He eventually landed on a small island nearby spawn, where he constructed yet another shitty, unfinished cobblestone house. He stayed on this island for a short time, working on his appalling base by himself. The remnants of this base can still be seen today at x=13166 z=1795.<br />
<br />
While here, Pippenger asked him yet again to join his newest base: [[Stonetown]]. Ostrich1414 was eager to come and help and immediately departed from his island base, heading towards Stonetown.<br />
<br />
==Stonetown, Wilbur, and His Brief Hiatus==<br />
<br />
At Stonetown, ostrich1414 was able to grow into a much better player and builder. At this time, around early to mid-2014, ostrich1414 helped in the construction of a small town outside of a massive dome made out of dirt and covered in trees; using Pippenger's [[Imperial Architecture]], ostrich1414 was able to strengthen his building skills and constructed many of the town's buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014, ostrich1414 attempted to get the achievement "When Pigs Fly". He was trying to complete many of the existing Minecraft achievements and this seemed like one he could easily do. Grabbing a pig, whom he named "[[Wilbur]]", ostrich1414 headed to the top of the tree dome and climbed on top of Wilbur. The two fell to their death and all that remained was Wilbur's saddle and the carrot-on-a-stick. The brutal murder of Wilbur sparked outrage throughout the server, and a memorial was constructed in both Stonetown and in /world by ostrich1414. A secret cult, known as "[[The Order of Wilbur]]", was later established, and its headquarters remained in Stonetown. Not much is known about this secretive organization.<br />
<br />
When construction in Stonetown began to slow down and its members moved on to other things, ostrich1414 went on a brief hiatus, unsure if he would ever rejoin again.<br />
<br />
==He's Back! (feat. Hiatus, Part II)==<br />
<br />
In early 2015, ostrich1414 rejoined SimPvP. Pippenger, ever so kind to him, invited ostrich1414 to his newest base: [[Virunum]]. Ostrich1414 made the long journey there, eager to reunite with his former teammates and begin work on a brand-new base, possibly the biggest one yet. He eventually landed in a small village suburb just outside of the planned city's location; this village was a walled-in area made predominantly out of granite blocks. Here, ostrich1414 stayed as he prepared himself for the next big build.<br />
<br />
While at Virunum, ostrich1414 only ever completed one building, the shitty house shown below:<br />
<br />
[[File:Ostrich1414sHouse.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
It wasn't long before ostrich1414 went on hiatus yet again. However, unlike before, this was a much longer hiatus: he left the server in mid-2015 and did not return until January of 2017. During his absence, ostrich1414 fucked nine million bitches and snorted 57 lines of cocaine daily.<br />
<br />
==A New Era of ostrich1414==<br />
<br />
In January of 2017, ostrich1414 finally returned to the server. He came to realize that he had missed a lot of things: a major war, the building (and griefing) of Virunum, and even Pippenger's official retirement from the game. Determined to stay put on the server and leave an impact on it, ostrich1414 returned to Stonetown briefly to get back in shape for playing yet again. Reuniting with old friends and explaining his desire to stay, ostrich1414 set out, yet again, on a journey to build a new base.<br />
<br />
He later settled on a fair-sized Mushroom Island biome in the middle of the ocean. As he set up base there, he recruited [[Z33VN]] to come and help him construct this new base: a base built in the honor of Pippenger, using his signature Imperial Architecture style. This base, known as "[[Quinsigamond]]", grew very quickly as ostrich1414 recruited his longtime ally and friend [[JavelinFury]], as well as players Elystriana and KellyEKelly. Quinsigamond eventually became a hub of history, serving as an exhibition to the hard work and dedication that the longtime players of SimPvP have contributed to the server; this city became a living memorial to these players and their history.<br />
<br />
[[File:QuinsigamondSkyline.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Creating a Capital==<br />
<br />
After Quinsigamond's completion, ostrich1414 and JavelinFury began their newest project: a massive city known as "[[Monarchia]]". Monarchia was to become the capital city for the Remembrance, a new clan founded by the two themselves. The goal of this clan was to preserve and protect SimPvP's rich history and culture, and it was understood that this team of players needed a much larger city to headquarter their efforts. Joined by their close ally [[clipchip]], the three began to work on Monarchia as they prepared to establish a capital for the server's newest clan and a much larger city, made up of various distinct districts; this was ostrich1414's largest project to date, and it was this moment when he realized that, despite Pippenger's departure from the server, maybe he was capable of reclaiming this former glory and establishing an empire of his own. With Quinsigamond complete, the Remembrance growing, and Monarchia in the works ostrich1414 was becoming more involved in the society of the server than ever before.<br />
<br />
[[File:MonarchiaSkyline2017.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The United Alliance==<br />
<br />
In June of 2017, ostrich1414 received a surprise when Pippenger, using his alt [[Porkington]], returned to the server after a long hiatus (one that even rivals ostrich1414's). This event, as well as several other minor factors, prompted ostrich1414 and JavelinFury to fully reform the Remembrance and shift its focus and organization. This change saw the creation of the [[United Alliance]], a new clan which put ostrich1414 as its leader. The United Alliance, or UA, grew very quickly as new recruits were taken in almost daily and a surplus of bases were gained under its control throughout the server. Ostrich1414, who had never been the leader of such a large clan before, quickly felt the pressure and was forced to curb his dictatorial urges of authority and genocide. Meanwhile, he would focus on infrastructure, recruitment, and community production as he attempted to mirror the image of his mentor, Pippenger.<br />
<br />
==The War of Monarchia and Surrender==<br />
Though the next few months of the UA's existence were very progressive and bountiful, reaching its peak membership and involved with a vast assortment of affiliated bases, things began to turn sour when clipchip officially left the UA on August 22nd, 2017. Tensions between him and the UA only worsened, and he soon established "Clipiiii's Gang" following his departure.<br />
<br />
[[File:WarOfMonarchia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
From September 27th, 2017 to October 6th, 2017, the United Alliance and Clipiiii's Gang were engaged in a war fought entirely on Monarchia, known as the [[War of Monarchia]]. The war was declared by ostrich1414 himself after several acts of aggression from clipchip, who threatened the UA's progression and Monarchia's sovereignty. Though the war resulted in multiple deaths and an array of damage and destruction, it ultimately ended in peace as ostrich1414 officially surrendered to Clipiiii's Gang on October 6th, ending the War of Monarchia.<br />
<br />
After this date, ostrich1414 formally resigned from his position as Leader of the United Alliance and gave full control of the organization to clipchip, who later used its foundations to establish a new, modified clan, [[The Royal Allegiance]]. Under this treaty, clipchip had also gained control of all of the UA's bases, including ostrich1414's creations, Quinsigamond and Monarchia. The war and its results took a deep toll on ostrich1414 as he soon became semi-active and would tend to AFK frequently, though clipchip still allowed him to build in Monarchia and other such bases under the title of his personal indentured servant.<br />
<br />
==A New League==<br />
<br />
Secretly, behind the scenes, ostrich1414 and his close ally Porkington had been plotting the results of the War of Monarchia all along: after ostrich1414 resigned from the United Alliance and gave control over to clipchip, ostrich1414 and Porkington would move onto a new base as they began to plan a new clan of their own. Under the guise of being an RA member, ostrich1414 and Porkington began to work together on their new base, "[[Estevez]]", or "Vez" for short: a massive underground complex consisting of various farms, domes and halls, beginning in October of 2017. The two eventually recruited [[Master_Xybot]], their fellow ally and former UA member, and the three worked tirelessly on Estevez as they began secretly plotting theirs.<br />
<br />
[[File:EstevezDome.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the midst of construction at Estevez, ostrich1414 founded another newer base for the team, named [[Struthio]]. Though much smaller in size than Estevez, Struthio was unique as it was a small coastal savannah town consisting entirely of acacia wood and stone brick, and the town's layout itself was modeled after ostrich1414's own Quinsigamond due to its congestion in such a small land area. Struthio also contained various villager farms nearby, as well as the later Hall of Vatlos, a colossal structure which ostrich1414 and Porkington began work on in December 2017.<br />
<br />
[[File:DowntownStruthio.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 also began to work around spawn more frequently this time, taking part in much smaller bases, including [[Oberstein]] and [[Grasstle]]. These bases came with the sole intent to spread the team's influence near spawn and to draw new players and prepare them for their career in the server, hoping to breed a new generation of SimPvP players and teammates. Using his alt OstrichsGayAlt at Oberstein and frequently visiting Grasstle to assist newcomers, ostrich1414 made it a new goal of his to reach out to new players and give them hope, reminiscent of his mission while in the UA.<br />
<br />
[[File:Oberstein1.png|400px]] [[File:GrasstleOverview.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On January 5th, 2018, the three co-founders finally decided on a team name: [[The League]]. After announcing this publicly to the server, all three players officially withdrew from the Royal Allegiance, and ostrich1414 was finally able to focus solely on his work for the League, no longer being secretive or suspicious.<br />
<br />
==Times of Turbulence==<br />
<br />
Upon withdrawing from the RA, ostrich1414 and his League companions drew much controversy and criticism from their former RA allies, who were furious that they left. This anger was especially garnered by JavelinFury and clipchip, who openly denounced the League various times. Z33VN, Quinsigamond's co-founder, was also furious upon ostrich1414's departure. Despite this, ostrich1414 maintained his status as an active member of the League, working on various team projects, all the while attempting to mend the fractured relationship between him and his RA allies.<br />
<br />
On January 19th, 2018, Quinsigamond suffered from a minor griefing incident in which one of the city's main towers was covered in lava. Though there was very little damage and the griefing was far from destructive, it still sent a warning to ostrich1414 that one of his former allies may be after him, especially one who had access to Quinsigamond. Although he was unable to discover the culprit behind the act, clipchip and Z33VN were seen as the prime suspects, though both have denied participating in the incident. Despite this, all players saw the griefing as a response to the formation of the League and ostrich1414's departure from the RA.<br />
<br />
[[File:QuinsiGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the next two months that followed, war appeared to be imminent as [[The Cold War]] commenced. The League and the Royal Allegiance were rarely on good terms, and the two teams barely cooperated or respected each other. Both JavelinFury and clipchip claimed to have discovered Pippenger's city [[Ascaris]], which severely lowered the League's morale and struck fear among many, especially ostrich1414 and Pippenger himself. Later on, the RA city of Monarchia was severely griefed and looted by an unknown player, and the act was denounced by both teams; however, as no one knew who conducted the griefing, players from both teams attempted to frame each other in order to favor themselves. Coupled with these events, the RA frequently claimed to be constructing weapons of mass destruction which would destroy the League, and the League would also make threats, expressing a desire to cripple the already-declining RA.<br />
<br />
By mid-March 2018, nothing major seemed to occur, a war was never declared. Ostrich1414, due to increased boredom, disinterest, and "IRL" obligations, as well as fear and anxiety on the server, began to play less and less, logging on very infrequently and AFK-ing more than playing. His last major project on the server before his frequent inactivity was the city of [[Majula]], which he constructed with Porkington, [[Sir_Phenhex]] and CranberryWarrior. However, this did not last very long, and ostrich1414 began to severely decline in activity, possibly hinting at a third hiatus from the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:Majula1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Taking it Easy==<br />
<br />
After abandoning Majula in March due to a suspected infiltration, as well as dealing with other issues in real life, ostrich1414's inactivity turned to a (very) short hiatus. From mid-March to late-June 2018, as the Cold War reached its end, ostrich1414 failed to return to the server and remained inactive. However, by late June, ostrich1414 had once again returned, this time with the goal of "taking it easy". Rather than returning with a "boom" like he had the last time he returned from a hiatus, ostrich1414 decided to focus on helping others, rather than himself.<br />
<br />
Around late June, ostrich1414 invited [[Sengorn_Leopard]], a new ally of his and pippenger's, to Quinsigamond. From Quinsigamond, ostrich1414 then transferred Sengorn_Leopard to Struthio, where he remained for a longer period of time. Ostrich1414 became a mentor-of-sorts to Sengorn_Leopard, briefing him on the culture and history of SimPvP that he had come to learn and love. Though Struthio had remained stagnant for months, Sengorn-Leopard's arrival revived it, and the base once again flourished with new projects and architecture.<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 was eventually invited to join the base [[Java Linsghey]] in July 2018; here, he assisted his longtime allies, such as JavelinFury, clipchip, and [[MisterStrawman]], among others. Ostrich1414 built the [[Get Clip A Girlfriend]] National Headquarters, providing the organization he had founded in 2017 with a legitimate physical office. However, ostrich1414 was not as regularly active at Java Linsghey as he was at previous bases, and it soon fell relatively stale. Because of this, shortly thereafter, ostrich1414 was invited to yet another base, this time [[Tol Honeth]], by JavelinFury and clipchip once again in August 2018. Though he was becoming immersed in the server's current events once more, he failed to be as active or as aggressive as he once was, and decided that it was time to enjoy the moments while they lasted.<br />
<br />
[[File:JavaLinsgheySkyline.png|400px]] [[File:TolHoneth1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414's Renaissance==<br />
<br />
By late-August 2018, ostrich1414 had shifted most of his focus onto Struthio, the small coastal town he had founded with the League. Though he had largely abandoned it since early 2018 due to his hiatus, he gained a renewed interest in it due to Sengorn_Leopard's arrival. Here, Sengorn_Leopard began constructing a large, complex structure known as "Aether Tower", which promptly turned his "temporary" stay at Struthio into a permanent one. Sengorn-Leopard's interest in building up Struthio greatly influenced ostrich1414, who worked alongside him as the two added many new buildings and farms to the city. Thus, this became the beginning of Struthio's Renaissance, the rebirth of the previously neglected base, which witnessed a massive growth of its peninsula area. Porkington and ostrich1414 also completed the Hall of Vatlos, having put it on hold prior to Struthio's Renaissance.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioNewI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Much of this rebuilding of Struthio came as a response to pippenger's own desire to greatly expand his base [[Ascaris]], claiming it to be the largest, most vast city on SimPvP. Thus, ostrich1414, Sengorn_Leopard and pippenger entered a friendly competition with each other as both Struthio and Ascaris tried to outgrow the other in terms of size and complexity, a rivalry jokingly referred to as the beginning of "The Vast Age".<br />
<br />
On September 28th, 2018, ostrich1414 officially announced his departure from the League, with himself and Porkington later deciding to disband the team altogether. As ostrich1414 wanted to solely focus on Struthio, and pippenger on Ascaris, with the team itself becoming largely dormant and irrelevant, the two decided that there was no logical reason to continue the League's goals and objectives, but, rather, to remain teamless and focus on expanding SimPvP's existing bases.<br />
<br />
Not long after, in October 2018, ostrich1414 and Porkington continued their expansion of Oberstein, their mountainous town near spawn. This was done in anticipation of the 2018 version of the spawn map (found here: [https://simplicitypvp.net/maps/#simpvp2018/0/3/0/0/64]), which was set to release the following month in November. Along with greatly increasing Oberstein's size, the two also collaborated on [[Glowstone Tower]], a massive nearby tower that reached up to the height limit.<br />
<br />
[[File:ObI.png|400px]] [[File:GlowstoneTower1.png|200px]]<br />
<br />
==Adjusting to an Ever-Changing Landscape==<br />
<br />
On November 1st, 2018, ostrich1414 hosted the first-ever [[Server Party at Quinsigamond]], an event that would soon become infamous. After making Quinsigamond a public base that same day, releasing coordinates for all to access and connecting it to the nether highway, he hosted a party at the city, prompting ten other players to join him in celebration. However, things soon went awry when [[Sellout9]], one of the guests, began mercilessly attacking some of the players. An all-out massacre soon arose as all players began fighting each other, resulting in many deaths and lost valuables. Quinsigamond itself was affected, with some of the city destroyed and in ruins, as well as looted and raided. Nevertheless, Quinsigamond still stands today, open to the public, and the memory of the crazy event of the Server Party became a highlight of the year.<br />
<br />

<br />
When 1.13 came around in mid-November, things changed forever as SimPvP was altered in many ways. The server became much laggier and slower, and dozens of farms were destroyed and/or modified. This would eventually result in a full-scale upgrade, forcing the server's admin [[Yukarion]] to create a temporary map as the main map updated in the background. On the temporary map, beginning on December 5th, 2018, ostrich1414 started from scratch and soon formed an alliance and base of operations with other players. Here, ostrich1414, along with these teammates, launched an all-out war against all pro-phantomers (those who supported the addition of phantoms in 1.13) loosely referred to as "The Phantom Wars". All pro-phantomer bases and players were griefed and killed respectively, resulting in ostrich1414's own base being destroyed in response by them. Once the main map returned on December 11th, this was later resolved peacefully.<br />
<br />

<br />
1.13's updates and the close to 2018 brought many changes to SimPvP and ostrich1414 as a whole, especially regarding Struthio, his main base of focus. Ostrich1414 had invited new players to join the city, all the while watching it quickly grow as Struthio's Renaissance continued. 1.13 had destroyed a few of Struthio's farms, forcing them to redo many of them; the greatest example of this is the destruction of Struthio's first wither farm, forcing the players to begin construction on a new farm, resulting in the second iteration becoming much larger and more complex. Struthio's emergence as a power-player within the server's politics and social climate was also becoming apparent, and ostrich1414's presence as the city founder and a forefront player allowed him to sway many of the decisions occurring there. Many of these decisions included the annexation and colonization of [[Bapadia]] on November 9th, 2018, a focus on mentoring new players and giving them positions, and attempting to strengthen alliances with other players in an attempt to build prominence.<br />
<br />

<br />
==An Explosive Growth==<br />
<br />
As SimPvP entered 2019, ostrich1414 found himself in the midst of a massively-changing culture and community: by January alone, the player count had nearly doubled, and dozens of new players were joining, more than the server had seen in a long time. Ostrich1414 recognized this change in server popularity and decided to utilize it for himself; on January 18th, 2019, ostrich1414 would perpetrate the first major event of the year: the Takeover of [[Fort Cranberry]]. Ostrich1414 annexed and colonized Fort Cranberry for Struthio, much like he did for Bapadia, and placed [[talksalot011]] and AaronRC93 in charge of the colony. Furthermore, he ordered several new players living at the fort to place kill its owner, [[CranberryWarrior]], on sight. What resulted were a series of battles between CranberryWarrior and ostrich1414's colonial army, ultimately resulting in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:FC2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, things would soon sour as a group of griefers, known as #TeamYMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]], joined the server in an attempt to launch various griefing and raiding campaigns on its many spawn bases. The first of these campaign's were YMP's raid on [[Novus Castle]] on February 16th, 2019. [[Cmlove]], who built the castle, requested backup to assist in fighting back the attackers, and ostrich1414 was one of the many players to join the counter-attack. However, despite being in fully-maxxed out diamond gear with god weapons, ostrich1414 was slain by JacksTheReaper, a member of YMP, which ultimately resulted in the raid on Novus Castle being a victory for the griefing team. Ironically enough, YMP would later grief Fort Cranberry the next day, ending ostrich1414's second official colony.<br />
<br />
[[File:NovusCastleGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these instances of intense strife and destruction, 2019 also served as a year of positive growth and change for ostrich1414. His city Struthio was skyrocketing as both a world power and a wealthy, vast city, its skyline becoming iconic. Ostrich1414 invited various new members to Struthio, and by April 2019, the city had grown significantly in both size, wealth, power and membership. Players such as [[CrackyJoe]], clipchip and [[DakkaDok]] would soon assist at Struthio, and even Master_Xybot returned from his hiatus in February to help build once again. Porkington, however, would later quit the city, enraged by his perceived lack of respect there.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioSkylineApril.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, ostrich1414 would also become the co-founder of a new city, a sort-of side project of his to Struthio. This city was named [[Florestria]], which he co-founded with [[SkykirryChycho]] on February 20th, 2019. What began as a small, quiet lakeside community quickly grew into a much larger city, with various farms, buildings and towers dotting the skyline. Ostrich1414 used Florestria as a city to build relationships with newer SimPvP players, a stark contrast to Struthio's makeup of older players.<br />
<br />
[[File:FlorestriaApril19.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
During the first few months of 2019, especially due to the explosive growth in player count, ostrich1414 found himself establishing several formal relationships with other teams and bases. Struthio and [[Triterrus]] formed an official alliance as sister cities, and Struthio and [[Nos Aeterna]] also formed an alliance, with DakkaDok even arriving at Struthio to build an embassy. Struthio and [[Ishtar]] formed an alliance (prior to its grief), and Struthio and Florestria shared embassies as well. Struthio and [[New Bapadia]] found themselves forming an alliance, with ostrich1414 mending his relationship with Bapada63 after the incident at Bapadia. Ostrich1414 himself also increased his number of affiliations and alliances, trying to build a new reputation as a trading power.<br />
<br />
==Shit Goes Down==<br />
<br />
By the middle of spring 2019, ostrich1414 was able to experience both of his cities, Struthio and Florestria, prosper to their fullest as they progressed exponentially. Each city was gaining several new members, farms and buildings almost weekly. However, behind the scenes, things were not going very well diplomatically: in April 2019, Struthio had been discovered by a group known as "Passione", which included [[Brusa95]], [[Chris_cord]] and [[trppbll]]. While ostrich1414 was allied and on good terms with Passione, there was one player whom they were allied with that would prove to be detrimental to the city: [[Antzakes1]].<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioDiscovery2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Due to a series of pre-existing tensions (which included ambushes in /world and the raid of Java Linsghey), Antzakes1 immediately began threatening Struthio's safety upon being invited there by Passione. Realizing the city was already compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Struthians began to form plans on what to do next: the declaration of war was seriously being considered, while plans for a new city in a new location was also considered. Regardless, tensions would only worsen: it was discovered that [[AntHand]], a member of Florestria, had sold that city's coordinates to Antzakes1 for Struthio's coordinates, which now meant that Antzakes1 had access to two of ostrich1414's most important cities, which doubled the threats. Enraged at AntHand, as well as feeling betrayed, ostrich1414 decided to enact revenge on him. On May 9th, while AntHand was AFK in Florestria's gunpowder farm, ostrich1414 laced the area with TNT and blew him up, killing him instantaneously and destroying all of his drops. Ostrich1414 immediately fled from Florestria after.<br />
<br />
[[File:AntHandAttack1.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, AntHand and ostrich1414 apologized to each other and made up, realizing that Antzakes1 had manipulated them into quarreling with each other. While plans for an all-out war against Antzakes1 continued, both Struthio and Florestria ultimately decided to move on and simply ignore Antzakes1. Both cities decided to fully start from scratch as several members from each flocked to new locations, while Antzakes1 ultimately went on hiatus. Unfortunately, [[TheOnlySlash]] would leak Struthio's coordinates to the public, which ultimately resulted in the city being griefed by jared2013 on June 3rd, 2019, resulting in the end of ostrich1414's greatest city yet. Florestria, meanwhile, would survive, albeit fully abandoned.<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414 IV: A New Hope==<br />
<br />
Despite the countless setbacks of the Antzakes1 Crisis, ostrich1414 emerged stronger than ever. By June 2019, he was heavily involved in three major cities: [[Nos Aeterna]], [[Yittrium]] and [[Segoria]] (the Big 3).<br />
<br />
Previously, ostrich1414 had been invited to [[DakkaDok]]'s city, Nos Aeterna, in mid-April 2019. Due to the city's immense distance from spawn and its lack of portal connections, ostrich1414 sent a new alt, XXXOstrichtacion, to live and work at the city. While he would not be heavily active here, ostrich1414 did assist Nos Aeterna's growth in several ways, including building a skyscraper in honor of Struthio, helping to organize the city's brand-new storage facility, and fixing several farms. Two other former Struthians, Sengorn_Leopard and CrackyJoe, were also invited alongside ostrich1414.<br />
<br />
[[File:NosAeternaSkylineJuly.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Yittrium was the immediate follow-up of Florestria. After Florestria was compromised and abandoned in May 2019, ostrich1414 and the rest of its members fled to a new location significantly farther out, forming the city of Yittrium. Unlike Florestria, which was a quiet, lowkey lakeside community, Yittrium was a massive metropolis with several highrises and large-scale builds. Yittrium was directly influenced by Struthio's modern-city aesthetic, featuring a very imposing skyline.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumSkylineAugust.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Segoria, the last of the Big 3 for ostrich1414, was a follow-up city for Struthio. Segoria's location had actually been discovered and claimed by Sengorn_Leopard during Struthio's prime, but it was essentially reserved only in the occasion that the city fell; Segoria was a back-up plot for a new start. Thus, after Struthio was compromised, several key members of the city fled to the new location, Segoria, in May 2019. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would not be very active here: he had sent his alt OstrichsCoolAlt to live at Segoria while he focused heavily on Yittrium, but many of Segoria's members helped grow the city into a large medieval base with several palaces, temples and statues.<br />
<br />
[[File:Segoria2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of these three cities, ostrich1414 had been involved in the server in other smaller ways. He established the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] in March 2019, but really progressed it by May. The CAB served as an alliance between several powerful and wealthy cities, three of which ostrich1414 was involved at. Furthermore, ostrich1414 would engage in several small-scale battles. The first of these was the Battle of Knee Mo, which took place in Yittrium on May 31st. This occurred after AntHand accidentally killed one of [[MoWobbler]]'s fish in a public fountain, resulting in an all-out violent battle. The second battle was the [[Battle of Quagsmaria]], which pitted ostrich1414 and TheOnlySlash against [[Lord1]] and Cocoaboa. After ostrich1414 tried to annex the base [[Quagsmaria]] on July 6th, 2019 with TheOnlySlash, Lord1 attempted to take it back from them; this ultimately resulted in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
==A Second Modern Metropolis==<br />
<br />
Much of 2019 consisted of ostrich1414 working extensively on his city Yittrium. From its inception in May to the end of the year, Yittrium became ostrich1414's sole project, as he allocated much of his time here. In fact, Yittrium, in many ways, was a sequel to Struthio, ostrich1414's last major city: both Yittrium and Struthio were massive modern metropolises with large, active playerbases, all contributing new buildings every week. However, Yittrium was slowly but surely overtaking Struthio in terms of size, shape, wealth and power - this was ostrich1414's greatest base yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumAtNightOctober2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 himself constructed many of the builds at Yittrium, helping define the city's dense, modern feel. However, the other members of Yittrium were equally as vital to its success: players like AntHand, MoWobbler, [[cheesy_chips22]] and more helped grow and shape the city, especially in terms of its industrial wealth. In fact, Yittrium easily became ostrich1414's richest city: "god sets" were able to be manufactured quickly and efficiently, the iron farm was overflowing, and the raid farm, ostrich1414's first farm at the city, produced lots of Totems of Undying. Furthermore, ostrich1414 was able to secure his first truly successful colony with Yittrium: on October 23rd, 2019, he annexed Dylan_Roof's base [[Coon Town]], a base which gave Yittrium access to much-needed villager trades, two mob farms and a gold farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:CoonTown1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
October 17th - November 18th was a notable period of 2019 for ostrich1414, as he was heavily involved in the religious, ideological crusade known as "[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]]". On October 17th, ostrich1414, on behalf of [[The Order of Wilbur]], declared war on the [[Church of Francis]]; in response, its leader, Lord1, declared war on the Order of Wilbur. This war would easily become the bloodiest, most violent war in SimPvP history, featuring a plethora of large-scale battles and ambushes.<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleOfMonarchia1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the leader of the Order of the Wilbur and the Wilburian Army in general, ostrich1414 organized several of the battles that took place. Most notably, ostrich1414 took part in the Battle of Monarchia, the largest battle in server history to-date: a total of 19 players showed up, with 18 active soldiers fighting altogether. Ostrich1414 was involved with all the battles of the war, except for the last, the Battle of [[Syracusai]]. Nevertheless, he was able to secure several military victories for the Order of Wilbur, getting several kills (and experiencing several deaths as well). The war in itself was not only very violent, seeing active combat regularly, but was also very resource-heavy: at Yittrium, ostrich1414 and his team were forced to manufacture dozens of potions, gear and Totems of Undying for the war effort. This effort payed off, as the Order of Wilbur was successful in several battles, most notably the battles of Java Linsghey, Snowfrog, Monarchia and Syracusai.<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleOfAndromeda.png|400px]] [[File:WilburianAmryVictory.png|400px]] [[File:MonarchiaVictory1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After the Battle of Syracusai, on November 18th, Lord1 officially surrendered to the Order of Wilbur on behalf of the Church of Francis, ending the war and resulting in an Order of Wilbur victory. Later that night, ostrich1414 organized a peace conference and victory celebration in [[Verillium]], reviewing and accepting terms of surrender with Lord1 and celebrating his team's victory with the soldiers who helped achieve it. The Holy-Wilbur Francis War was ostrich1414's second war he had partaken in on the server, but it was easily his most successful and eventful.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 1.png|400px]] [[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Postwar Depression==<br />
<br />
While the Holy Wilbur-Francis War had ended in a victory, ostrich1414 would be unaware of just how tense and unpleasant the next few months on SimPvP would be for him and the players around him. Almost immediately after the war's end, another war had begun: the [[Intervention War]], declared by the [[Bloc for Clans]] (which ostrich1414 was in at the time) due to perceived long-term hostilities shown by both the [[Shadow Mcmafia]] and [[The Dominion]]. While the Intervention War would not have massive, organized battles like the war before it, the Intervention War was comprised of a series of smaller PvP battles, skirmishes and terror attacks, making it difficult for players to move around safely. While a member of the BC, ostrich1414 would not take part in this war, remaining neutral due to his friendliness with both belligerents involved in the war. Nonetheless, it killed many of his allies and threatened several of his bases, setting the tone for a tense period of time.<br />
<br />
On December 8th, 2019, due to the Bloc for Clans announcing their plans on annexing [[Ascaris]], ostrich1414 rushed to the city and claimed a large portion of the land for Yittrium in fear that the city would be primarily used for an advantage during the Intervention War, wanting to ensure its safety. Yittrium and the BC both agreed to divide the city in half and share it - unfortunately, a week later, Ascaris would be severely griefed by an unknown player, which many believe to be a consequence of the Intervention War.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ascaris Colonization.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, ostrich1414 had a threat of his own at Yittrium, as the city increasingly become less safe and more unstable. The Shadow Mcmafia had been threatening it for months, but the likelihood of the city being either raided or griefed became a serious topic as the player count increased and the safety and security decreased. By December 2019, Yittrium was entering the stages of a dying city: its members were rarely active, only using it for its abundance of farms. In fact, during this time, between late November and early December, ostrich1414 moved on to a solo project (which quickly grew into a massive multi-player project), establishing [[Craftablia]] on November 23rd. Made up of multiple chunks of crafting tables laid on the ground, many of which were donated by [[SFR]] and Sengorn_Leopard, ostrich1414 utilized Craftablia as an escape from Yittrium, feeling little motivation to build at his home city due to the many reasons mentioned prior. Ultimately, Craftablia would be abandoned as well, and soon discovered by a new player.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ostrich1414 at Craftablia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By late December 2019 - early January 2020, ostrich1414 was growing dissatisfied and depressed with his time on SimPvP. His bases were being active and abandoned, the Intervention War was consuming the efforts of his allies, and he was lacking motivation in general. His long-time portal hub had recently been made public, and the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] had disbanded due to inactivity. At this time, he would assist [[cmlove]] with two bases: first, [[The Foxhole]], which only lasted a few weeks until it was griefed on December 19th, and [[Vulpes Den]], a base he founded with cmlove shortly after the Foxhole was griefed. The two bases shared a common theme, being underground complexes with a nature inspiration - nonetheless, ostrich1414's growing boredom and lack of motivation rendered his activities here unproductive, and he would ultimately leave Vulpes Den soon after.<br />
<br />
[[File:Vulpes Den 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After a few days of inactivity and boredom, ostrich1414 officially left SimPvP for a short hiatus on January 5th, 2020. Needing some time for a break, ostrich1414's hiatus would prove detrimental to his in-game city: that same day, Yittrium was severely raided by [[Byzantium]] due to internal issues they had with fellow member [[TonTheKidRS]], forcing the city's members to abandon it for good. Unaware of this at the time, ostrich1414 assumed that he would not be back for a few months, as his postwar depression made playing on SimPvP a chore, rather than a fun activity.<br />
<br />
During his hiatus, ostrich1414 played a fuckton of Bed Wars on Hypixel.<br />
<br />
==He's Back, Baby!==<br />
<br />
While ostrich1414 was gone, a political dispute unrelated to the ongoing Intervention War was brewing in the city of [[Sigil]], known as [[The Sigil Conflict]]. This issue involved many of ostrich1414's allies, as Lord1, on behalf of the Church of Francis, used a perceived lack of religious freedom to bar Wilburians from certain areas of the city, practically overtaking the city for his own. Tensions reached their climax when Lord1 killed [[nddragoon]] and GummyBearz14, as well as launching an unofficial crusade against the Francillian doubters of Sigil; the base was now unsafe as violence brewed, and the coordinates had been leaked. Ostrich1414, who was repeatedly DM'd on Discord about this, decided it was time to return: on January 17th, 2020, ostrich1414 traveled to Sigil and griefed the Church of Francis temple in retaliation for their actions towards the Wilburians and innocent Sigil civilians. Ostrich1414 then began to attack Lord1 and Cutman as a short battle ensued, although this was later dissolved as an armistice was declared.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the toll this conflict took on the city of Sigil and relations between Lord1 and other BC members, the Sigil Conflict had actually proven to be vital for ostrich1414: it renewed his interest in the server, bringing excitement and thrill back into the game for him.<br />
<br />
This was made even more clear when, literally a day later, [[The Second Siege]] began, also known as "The Hispanic Panic". This was a server-wide event initiated in response to the growing threat that a [[MrCramYT]], a Spanish YouTuber with over 50,000 subscribers, would make a video on SimPvP that would ultimately bring an influx of players online and make the lag and playability even worse than it already was. Thus, despite the many instances of strife and war on the server, everyone unified together despite their differences and began to work together and make spawn impenetrable, ensuring that new players could not leave it. In fact, TheOnlySlash (who had organized the Second Siege) made ostrich1414 a member of the Inner Council of the event, and ostrich1414 played a major role in bringing forth more players to the cause. Ultimately, the Second Siege was successful in stopping MrCramYT from making the video, and the event as a whole became the largest gathering of SimPvP players at one location in server history.<br />
<br />
[[File:Siege II Group 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Once again, ostrich1414 was back and reinvigorated, happy to be playing on SimPvP again after the excitement of mid-January.<br />
<br />
==Return to Form: War and Peace==<br />
<br />
By mid-January, there were still two major issues plaguing ostrich1414: he was both poor and homeless, primarily due to the loss of Yittrium. As such, he decided to establish a brand-new megacity on January 24th, 2020, known as the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], or "Wilburia" for short. Wilburia would be the first official base created specifically by and for the Order of Wilbur, nearly six years after the religion was formed. While Wilburia was originally meant to be a solo project, ostrich1414 later invited a small group of devout Wilburians: [[Zepheron]], cheesy_chips22 and Porkington. The city grew rapidly, constructing a sizable, respectable city square by February 2020.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia February 7.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike Struthio, Florestria or Yittrium before it, Wilburia's strength was its small team. With only four players, three of which were primarily active, Wilburia quickly became one of the wealthiest and most powerful bases on SimPvP. Several skyscrapers, three major megastructures, and high-quality farms ranging from a gold farm, totem farm, and gunpowder farm would be constructed between January and April. Ostrich1414 had finally risen out of the ashes, becoming a wealthy player once more and no longer relying on feeding off of the rotten corpse of Yittrium.<br />
<br />
Of course, the time between January - early-April 2020 had its major incidents. Perhaps the most important event was [[The Byzantium War]], a war which ostrich1414 himself officially declared on February 23rd, 2020. The Byzantium War began way back in January 5th, when the members of Byzantium first raided Yittrium. While ostrich1414 and his former teammates were angered by this, they decided to move on. It wasn't until February when the members of Byzantium began mocking them for it that tensions truly began to rise. [[Passaconaway]] renamed his alt account to "RIPYittrium2020", and later leaked the city's coordiantes on that same account. This incident is what truly sparked the beginnings of the war, leading ostrich1414 to recruit a few loyalists and raid Byzantium's former base, Triterrus, in response.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Raid.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By February 23rd, the war truly picked up. With tensions rising and anger and mockery consuming the chat, ostrich1414 and his allies returned to Triterrus, this time severely and irreparably griefing it. War was immediately declared between Byzantium and "New Israel" (the informal name given to ostrich1414 and his allies), and the Byzantium War would be known as a war of griefing. Not long after the grief of Triterrus, Byzantium would severely grief Yittrium on February 25th, as well as later griefing Antzakes1's invisible base on March 28th. While these three major griefings would mark the severity of the war, no actual battles took place, and fighting was brought to a minimum, leaving much of the war empty and inactive.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, things would soon die down for the Byzantium War. Two major peace conferences took place: the Quinsigamond Peace Conference on February 27th, and the Turtle Beach Peace Conference on March 29th. The first of the two was only between ostrich1414, [[VetoTheNeato]] and Byzantium, but the second was between the major parties of New Israel and Byzantium, bringing the war to an end. It was decided that there would be no "winners" or "losers" of the war, and that all parties would move on peacefully, as well as to forgive each other for the atrocities that occurred. With the Byzantium War now ending, ostrich1414 was a veteran of three wars. While not as violent as the War of Monarchia or the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Byzantium War was the first war where ostrich1414 had truly felt anger and betrayal.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Peace Conference 1.png|400px]] [[File:Peace Conference 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of working on his city Wilburia and partaking in the Byzantium War, ostrich1414 engaged in other activities as well, typically related to diplomatic relations. Ostrich1414 was one of the many participants of the [[Simpvp Summit]] on February 23rd, representing his city Wilburia. He was also forced to confess to the griefing of [[North Koria (Base)]], later reconciling with [[Korijenkins]] at the Struthian-North Korian Peace Summit on February 3rd. In early March, ostrich1414 participated in #WitherWeek at Segoria, assisting his Segorian allies in finally finishing the massive wither skeleton farm they had started in 2018. Ostrich1414 was also a soldier during the very short Second Invasion of [[Lordtopia]] on April 9th, although he was blown up by an end crystal within less than a minute of battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Struthian-North Korian Peace Summit.png|400px]] [[File:WitherWeek.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important moment of January-April 2020 for ostrich1414 was when he became the newest official admin of SimPvP on February 28th, 2020. For many years, Yukarion, DakkaDok and MisterStrawman had been the only admins on the server, but their decreasing activity had led to the pursuit of a new admin. Ostrich1414's vast playtime, experience and activity on SimPvP led him to become a prime candidate, and eventually, led to him becoming the fourth active admin.<br />
<br />
==A Man Both Jaded and Weary==<br />
<br />
As the year 2020 proved to be a chaotic one, ironically both in SimPvP and in real life, ostrich1414 found himself once again growing exhausted and unmotivated. Although the end of the Byzantium War had promised ostrich1414 a new period to focus on his blossoming city, Wilburia, things would not be as pleasant as he originally envisioned. Nonetheless, between April to mid-May, Wilburia became one of ostrich1414's greatest cities to date: a city of high quality, wealth, power, and grandeur. Motivated by the flaws and pitfalls of his previous two megacities, Struthio and Yittrium, the one thing maintaining his interest in SimPvP was the growth of Wilburia.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between April 15th and April 16th, a sudden crisis would occur that once again threatened peace and stability: [[The Stonetown Incident]]. After attempting to annex Stonetown on behalf of Wilburia, primarily due to its historic and religious significance, ostrich1414 was "betrayed" by Porkington after he instead gave the deed to Stonetown to Lord1. Soon after, Lord1 annexed Stonetown and converted it into a Francillian colony -- something ostrich1414 was strongly against due to Stonetown's stance as the base where the Order of Wilbur was founded. This resulted in Wilburia taking back Stonetown, threatening the Francillians, and a back-and-forth ensued: each group would remove the other's decorations and temporarily occupy the land. In fact, this crisis got so heated that it almost led to yet another Holy Wilbur-Francis War, and both sides were gearing for battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, neither ostrich1414 nor Lord1 truly wanted ''another'' war. After attending a peace treaty to ease tensions, ostrich1414 was confronted by a sudden imposing and outlandish questions by Lord1, in which he asked: "Are you CranberryWarrior?" Although this may have seemed like a bizarre question to ask by most players, it was not; ostrich1414 admitted that he was indeed CranberryWarrior, and had been since 2017. Ostrich1414 had been using CranberryWarrior behind-the-scenes as a secret alt account, using it to infiltrate other groups and bases, and to gather information. Some of these groups included [[The Fellowship]], [[Asguard]], North Koria, and Lord1's own Church of Francis. Using CranberryWarrior, ostrich1414 had insided as a loyal Francillian since the summer of 2019; now, in April 2020, he was officially exposed. In return for the distrust he had caused, ostrich1414 gifted Lord1 with the CranberryWarrior account, and Lord1 turned it into a brand-new alt for himself, Lard2.<br />
<br />
[[File:CranberryWarrior Last Words.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
After almost entering yet another war and exposing his secret alt account, the final blow would occur for ostrich1414 that led him to enter a state of hopelessness and non-inspiration on May 6th, 2020. For a few weeks prior, the members of Wilburia, especially ostrich1414 himself, had suspicions that AntHand and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] had access to their city. Unfortunately, these suspicions were revealed to be true: on May 6th, both egnaroky and AntHand showed up to Wilburia in person, declaring that they were incorporating the city into their new "Caudicean Empire". This angered ostrich1414 severely, who felt both betrayed by his allies and sickened that he was losing yet another megacity, his third in a row.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Their city now compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Wilburians abandoned the city entirely, only using it sparingly for farms and resources. Tensions between the Caudices and the rest of the server would only worsen when they proceeded to annex [[Takyon]], Wilburia's sister city which ostrich1414 had very close relations with. In his final act of disobedience against the Caudices, ostrich1414 attended a server party at Takyon on May 8th where dozens of players toured the city one last time before severely griefing it. This also resulted in a minor skirmish between themselves and the Caudices, to no avail.<br />
<br />
[[File:Takyon Party 1.png|400px]] [[File:Takyon Party 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By mid-May, ostrich1414 was jaded, weary, exhausted, and most of all, demotivated. The loss of Wilburia felt more routine than devastating, as he had lost Struthio and Yittrium before it. Ostrich1414 also felt displaced in the new server environment, which became increasingly tense and angry; wars were far more common now, and strife and drama occurred at a much more alarming rate. Needing to take a break from SimPvP for a while, ostrich1414 departed on yet another one of his frequent hiatuses, only logging on periodically for server maintenance, hoping to focus on real life.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, real life sucked too (2020 was kind of a lame year, ngl).<br />
<br />
==Searching for Meaning==<br />
<br />
After the Wilburia incident, ostrich1414 didn't log on for much of May or June, only properly returning to the server in late June. His first major step back into the server life was his brief participation at the Second SimPvP Summit on June 20th, although even this was very short-lived. Ostrich1414 had become severely unmotivated and uninspired, with no main base to his name and no direction. Fortunately, this mentality was somewhat remedied with his induction into [[The Republic]]--a brand new team with the goal of decreasing Lord1's influence on SimPvP, as well as the Church of Francis as a whole. The Republic also aimed to focus on public works projects at and around spawn, improving the environment for all.<br />
<br />
Of course, an entire team largely targetting one player has disastrous effects. On June 23rd, several members of the Republic griefed Two Words, the Church of Francis' primary base. Ostrich1414, while not a part of the grief, was considered a major suspect for leaking it due to his knowledge of the coordinates thanks to CranberryWarrior. The grief, and this rumor, would ultimately lead Lord1 and [[Wawuwiva]] to target and grief ostrich1414's longest-lasting base on SimPvP, Stonetown. That same day, on June 23rd, Stonetown was mercilessly griefed and destroyed, ending its six year lifespan.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although dismayed and saddened by this loss, ostrich1414 urged himself to continue playing on SimPvP and supporting the Republic's endeavors. On July 13th, ostrich1414 began a brand-new solo project: a unique landmark called [[Inferno]]. Inspired by places like Craftablia and [[The Graveyard]], Inferno consisted of a specifically-placed pattern of 3-block-high netherrack pillars, with fire lit on top of each of them, covering an entire landmass. Inferno was constructed with no other goal in mind than creating yet another unique spawn landmark for players to enjoy, and to boost the Republic's image as more of a public works group. Ostrich1414 also participated in another Republic-affiliated public works project, this time assisting 4Pilot and Zepheron in repairing the public end portal area.<br />
<br />
[[File:Inferno 1.png|400px]] [[File:End Boys.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite his lack of motivation to work on yet another base, ostrich1414 was ironically invited to three new bases during this period: Shakatak Mycelia on June 23rd, [[Exultia]] on June 29th, and [[Belgium]] on July 21st. At Shakatak Mycelia, ostrich1414 was inducted into the base's primary team, [[Shakatak]], organized by [[Burger_Malone]]. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would be very inactive here, primarily due to his lack of motivation and skillset required to build in the town's architectural standard. The same would go for Exultia, yet another base ostrich1414 participated at very minimally. In Exultia's case however, the base would not last very long; there was an overwhelming sense of burnout and inactivity within the entire base population, resulting in many members, including ostrich1414, to respectfully drop out near the end of the summer. Of these three bases, Belgium would be ostrich1414's most active participation--although even this was somewhat minimal. Joining the [[North Koria (Clan)]] alongside TheOnlySlash, Korijenkins, and [[HedgehogMind]], ostrich1414 assisted in some large scale projects at Belgium, primarily related to base expansion.<br />
<br />
[[File:ShakOst.png|400px]] [[File:Belgium Crew.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the moment that truly brought ostrich1414 back into the SimPvP mindset, and reintroducing his inspiration to play, was his participation in SKRT, or the Sim Kast Removal Team. Starting on August 23rd, 2020, the Sim Kast Removal Team was founded by the [[GS Trading Co.]] in order to completely renovate and repair spawn after years of abuse, destruction, and lavacasting. Ever since 2019, spawn had been suffocated by intense lavacasts, so the massive organized team of SKRT worked around the clock to dismantle these features using various methods, from TNT dupers to mining to simple TNT placement. Several SKRT members also focused on draining much of the water cubes that had been left over from Operation Moist Boiz I and II, trying to dry out spawn. After only a week of renovation, SKRT's goals were a resounding success: spawn was completely different than it had been before, with much more space around the protected zone. This was the moment where ostrich1414 truly became engaged with the server yet again.<br />
<br />
[[File:SKRT Crew.png|400px]] [[File:Revamped Spawn.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the summer began to dwindle and lead into fall, ostrich1414 became more active on SimPvP and participated in a myriad of smaller events. On August 7th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron became two of the many players to participate in the glitch abuse of [[Dragon Eggs]], each obtaining a dragon egg (although these were later destroyed due to a new ruling). On August 30th, ostrich1414 was also one of the founding members of [[Palau]], a short-lived base that only lasted around 24 minutes before it devolved into the chaotic Massacre of Palau when TheOnlySlash killed Qyburn_ and bedtrapped Paul358.<br />
<br />

<br />
==A Tale of Two Cities==<br />
<br />
While much of ostrich1414's 2020 summer had been characterized by a lack of motivation, disillusionment, and no real sense of purpose as a result of the Wilburia incident, things soon changed by the fall when he joined two brand new cities. In September, ostrich1414 co-founded [[Quabbin]], and in October, he joined [[Void City]]; both of these bases would become his primary sources of focus for the latter half of 2020.<br />
<br />
Quabbin was co-founded by ostrich1441 and AntHand on September 2nd after the two wanted to reunite and find a common ground after Wilburia, using the base as an excuse to warm relations. They were soon joined by egnaroky, MoWobbler, JESUS_warrior69, and cmlove. Much like ostrich1414's previous cities, specifically Struthio and Yittrium, Quabbin became yet another ever-growing megacity characterized by its modern aesthetic. Ostrich1414, once again motivated to build after months, began work on his signature modern cityscape, cultivating a unique skyline with several skyscrapers and farms in a central riverside island known as "Quabbin Center". Around him, the other Quabbin members created their own unique contributions, from MoWobbler's Sphere City to AntHand's Area 69 to cmlove's Zoo Wee Mama.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quabbin November 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
About a month after Quabbin, ostrich1414 formally joined his next base, Void City. Founded by Korijenkins on October 3rd, Void City is notable for being located in the End, and an unofficial expansion of the Belgium team. At Void City, ostrich1414 was also joined by Belgium regulars TheOnlySlash and HedgehogMind, as well as old allies he had not based with in years, including clipchip, JavelinFury, and dariepearjuicy. Void City features a cyberpunk aesthetic, using the End dimension as a juxtaposition for futuristic space-like builds and towers. Much like at Quabbin, ostrich1414 would construct several skyscrapers and farms here, using his knack for modern builds to the city's advantage.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void Citiots.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, Quabbin and Void City were not ostrich1414's only activities during this time. Between September and early December, ostrich1414 engaged in several battles, meet-ups, events, and spawn projects.<br />
<br />
In September, ostrich1414 engaged in two major battles. The first was the [[Battle of Swampland]] on September 15th, a classic Church of Francis versus Order of Wilbur battle, between Lord1, xexc, and [[James8B]] versus ostrich1414, MoWobbler, and [[ElectricChugg]]. While this battle would go on for over an hour, and ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were able to successfully defend themselves, the Order of Wilbur ultimately lost: ElectricChugg had been killed early in the battle, and after an hour or losing resources, the two remaining Wilburians were forced to flee. The second was the Battle of [[Suit's tower]] on September 29th, a spur-of-the-moment battle between Lord1, ostrich1414, and [[_Goujon_]] versus AntHand, Sellout9, and Cutman. Unlike the previous battle, this one was extremely short, with ostrich1414's emerging victorious within minutes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]] [[File:Battle of Suit's Tower.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On October 6th, ostrich1414 and a coalition of other players teamed up to grief [[Azpipia]], a spawn base partially created by Azdin. This was done in response to Azdin's negligent removal of several spawn landmarks, returning them to vanilla Minecraft terrain as if nothing had ever been built there. There were also several parties attended by ostrich1414, including [[Barrier Town]], Wassrïge Hólle Trei, and MoWobbler's Second Annual Halloween Tomb Event at Yittrium. Perhaps the highlight of these player get-togethers was the one year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, where ostrich1414 and several war veterans and Francillians/Wilburians met up in Verillium to reflect on the carnage that had occurred one year ago.<br />
<br />
[[File:Barrier Town 1.png|400px]] [[File:Holy War One Year 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On December 4th, ostrich1414, along with MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]], completed [[Suidae Temple]]: the Order of Wilbur's first major spawn temple. Rising from the depths of the ocean from a 3x3 circular grid, Suidae Temple was the first major act of the Order of Wilbur in months, and a fine addition to their collection of temples.<br />
<br />
[[File:Suidae Temple Shader 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, ostrich1414 participated in what would become one of the most violent, destructive wars in SimPvP history: [[The Imperial War]]. What began as a "larp" war for some soon devolved into an unprecedented arms race of destruction between the Church of Francis and the wartime-exclusive loose collective of players known as the People's Coalition, composed of numerous SimPvP teams united against the COF. While the ambush and murder of Sellout9 and SimCoin in early December 2020 would be the true catalyst for war, many players (including ostrich1414 himself) were growing frustrated with the COF's reign of imperialism and terror, with specific incidents like "Operation Red Terror" leaving a sour taste in their mouths, and the relentless ambushing of unaffiliated players began to wear thin. Ostrich1414 himself had a historic rivalry with the Church of Francis, and was thus propelled into the creation of the People's Coalition to fight against what they saw as a force detrimental to the server. On December 10th, 2020, the People's Coalition officially declared war on the Church of Francis, targeting and griefing two of their spawn bases: Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lakeside Lodge 1.png|400px]] [[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The first half of the Imperial War would largely be characterized by back-and-forth griefs of inactive, yet still prized, PC and COF affiliated bases, as well as various skirmishes and small guerrilla battles in both /world and spawn. The COF would grief some of ostrich1414's own former bases during this time, including [[New Oberstein]], Tol Honeth, and Florestria, as well as other smaller PC-affiliated bases. The PC would strike back, griefing Bitchport, RBC Spawn Base, and [[Swaglabs]]. Of course, much of the true action during this period of the war took place in /world, where countless skirmishes between PC and COF troops took place. While each side of the war had its own strengths and weaknesses, there seemed to be no clear winner in sight yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war, however, proved to be much more detrimental to both the participants on both sides, as well as the server itself. The first major controversy struck when the COF raided and griefed [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first major active base of the war to be targeted. This left countless PC members homeless, enraging them. Soon after, the YMP base Axetown was targeted by the COF. Wartime "battles" would decrease at this time, with fewer and fewer PC-COF combat; several PC members withdrew from the war for personal reasons while the COF attempted to negotiate peace, only to be turned down by the still-furious PC. Eventually, the next major base to fall would be at the hands of the PC on January 11th when they raided and annexed [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main base at the time. While this crippled any hope of an immediate peace, ostrich1414 found himself largely regretting the decision after partaking in it, viewing the ongoing war as an unwinnable vacuum of destruction for both sides simultaneously.<br />
<br />
[[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The last base to be targeted during the war, [[Pepe's Holy Land]], was raided and annexed by the PC shortly before true peace negotiations began to take place. Soldiers on both sides of the war were growing weary and distraught with its outcome; numerous active, impressive bases like GFC and Three Words were falling, and they felt that more were to come if the crisis continued. While the PC had previously rejected the COF's negotiations, they once again attempted to agree to mutual terms by mid-to-late January, with ostrich1414 himself spearheading the peace talks between himself, AntHand, Lord1, Tenced, and CrackyJoe. Finally, after days of negotiating, both the PC and the COF were able to come to an agreement: on January 28th, 2021, the two once-warring teams decided to come together and officially declare peace, ending the Imperial War for good. A small peace conference was held at Gibraltar Castle (one of the first bases to be griefed during the war) where representatives from both sides met and signed treaties. After well over a month of destruction, chaos, and hatred, another major war had ended...yet some tensions remained.<br />
<br />
[[File:Imperial War Peace 1.png|400px]] [[File:Imperial War Peace 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Pain.==<br />
<br />
By the end of the Imperial War, ostrich1414 was at his lowest in terms of lack of motivation, lack of enthusiasm, disillusionment, and irritability. On January 19th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron were forced to grief the dormant remains of Wilburia after it was x-rayed a partially griefed by 39Y. Almost two weeks later, he, and the other members, were forced to abandon Quabbin as the city had become overrun with unaffiliated outsider players gaining access to coordinates, with some likely looking to damage the city as post-war retaliation. Furthermore, AntHand, ostrich1414's long-time ally, was embroiled in a massive controversy regarding the use of a wolf-tracking exploit with which he discovered Three Words, as well as Wilburia a year prior. Yukarion's decision not to punish AntHand left ostrich1414 in an uncomfortable position as an admin, and as a previous Three Words raider. Despite the war being over, ostrich1414 was drained.<br />
<br />
Of course, post-Imperial War life was not all that bad. On February 4th, ostrich1414 was invited to join GS Trading Co.'s main base, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]], which he arrived at after permanently departing from Quabbin. Sternenfall Nochmal was notable for the vast array of high-powered farms it possessed, from withers to obsidian to guardians to gold. However, Sternenfall Nochmal also had a growing urban sector, with many of its members constructing soaring skyscrapers and other city structures. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would never truly build much at Sternenfall Nochmal, instead focusing on his budding map art obsession and assisting with farm-related projects. Ostrich1414 also spent some time at Void City again, finishing his long-dormant wool farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Skuller Sternenfall Nochmal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, ostrich1414's major project during this period of time would be [[Riverwood]]: a small town established specifically for new players, recruiting them and getting them started with gear and materials. Founded by ostrich1414 on February 15th, the town prospered for the next two weeks, housing over a dozen brand new players who contributed to its growing expansion. Largely utilizing Imperial Architecture as its primary build style, Riverwood would become ostrich1414's sole focus for most of February as he assisted many new players in getting them started on the server. Soon afterwards, The Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis decided to use Riverwood as an opportunity to make peace and spread unity, both constructing temples in the town and, for once, living in harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately by March 2021, Riverwood would decline in activity, and so would ostrich1414. His duties as admin had been largely outweighing his regular playtime, and, simply put, he had lost his passion for the server. Upon Riverwood's stagnation, ostrich1414 largely focused on building map arts, assisting others with small projects, or attending the occasional server event. On March 20th, 2021, ostrich1414 would help train MoWobbler as the newest SimPvP admin, a position which ostrich1414 himself pushed for. Ostrich1414 would also host the server's very first [[Map Art Competition]] throughout this month, with voting being held on April 1st. In total, thirteen map arts would be submitted, and forty-seven people would vote, making this competition a huge success. Ostrich1414 himself had even submitted an entry, "Portland Head Light", which came in second place.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Mo Admin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By early April, ostrich1414 was mentally drained. His latest project had been [[Iron Block]], a literal 32x32 floating cube of iron blocks near spawn, built out of boredom. He had been invited to revisit Three Words upon the base's restoration thanks to the [[Base Restoration Policy]], finally making amends with its members, although the incident still haunted him. Furthermore, ostrich1414 had no clear inspiration or ambition to continue with anything else, with his last project on the server being a refurbishment of a public spawn/end spawn portal with [[willowienal]]. On April 6th, 2021, ostrich1414 decided that it was best to take an extended hiatus and return to SimPvP when he was once again motivated and rejuvenated, marking this as yet another entry in his long list of hiatuses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Iron Block 1.png|400px]] [[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Pain.<br />
<br />
==Disillusionment.==<br />
<br />
So uh, that "hiatus" only lasted around a week. Awkward.<br />
<br />
After this week-long break, ostrich1414 would return to SimPvP, feeling slightly more motivated to play than he had prior to his departure. However, he was not as enthusiastic to play the server as he had once been months, or even years ago, and decided to lean in to a more casual approach of playing SimPvP. Around this time, ostrich1414's old ally cheesy_chips22 had finally returned from his own hiatus, and the two instantly reunited as they pondered the idea of starting a new Wilburian base, as they had worked together on Wilburia in 2020. Thus, on April 19th, 2021, the city of [[São Porco]] was officially founded: this would become the newest headquarters for the Order of Wilbur in their goal to reconstruct themselves and become much more active again. Numerous Wilburian members and allies would be invited to the city, including many former Quabbin and GFC members. Unlike many of ostrich1414's other bases, São Porco would embody a Brazilian-inspired theme, featuring tropical villages, favelas, hilly coasts, and cityscape inspired by the likes of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Ostrich1414 himself would assist cheesy_chips22 in the construction of the city's favelas and villages, shying away from his usual modern style and going for a more unique South American rustic influence in building.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco July 23 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Aside from his new project at São Porco, ostrich1414 would focus on more fun and casual events throughout the next few months on SimPvP. The server's 10 year anniversary would arrive on April 23rd, 2021, with ostrich1414 hosting a still-life museum in the events world, showcasing dioramas of many past wars in the server's history. A few days later on May 2nd, 2021, he would also host the Server Party at Quabbin, a follow-up to his previous Server Party at Quinsigamond back in 2018. The party at Quabbin would become one of the largest gatherings of players in server history, with 27 people showing up to the abandoned city of Quabbin (with ostrich1414 public revealing the coordinates for all to access). While the party would largely run smoothly, OperatorUltra's arrival would result in the deaths of a few party guests, including ostrich1414 himself, and a minor battle taking place. Later, on May 5th, ostrich1414 would be invited to the base Dreamscape by SkullerG, a small medieval-inspired village at the world border. Although his activity here would be minor and temporary, he nonetheless managed to construct two buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Server Party at Quabbin Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Server Party at Quabbin 2.png|400px]] [[File:ostrich1414 Dreamscape.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Arguably the most important event during this time period would occur on June 7th, 2021 when, after over two years of being bitter rivals who had been to war twice, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis (then still the Holy States of Francis) officially became allies together. This was a historic peace agreement as both Wilburians and Francillians had been notorious enemies on the server for years, but their post-Imperial War relations had become much more cordial as there proved to be no real benefit to their rivalry in this new era. A large peace summit between the two parties was held as representatives from both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis showed up to discuss terms of peace and alliance, steps for the future, and finally to sign a historic treaty of mutual partnership, with ostrich1414 and Lord1 signing on behalf of their respective parties. Finally, these once-rivals were friends.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COF Summit 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these monumental events, all was not well for ostrich1414. He was once again growing tired of SimPvP; unmotivated, disinterested, and disillusioned. By this point, he was beginning to notice a pattern in his lack of enjoyment for the server he had called "home" for almost seven years now; times have changed, and he was growing more cynical and unhappy. Much of this negativity was directly derived from ostrich1414's position as SimPvP's most active admin, a title he had been privately irritated by for months. Wanting to return to a more casual playstyle free from the stress and responsibilities of adminship, ostrich1414 submitted a two-week's notice to Yukarion in June 2021, and later resigned on July 7th. After serving as an admin for over a year, ostrich1414 had found that the once-coveted title had degraded him down to a shell of his former self. SimPvP was becoming less and less enjoyable, and the increasing toxicity and bitterness raging throughout the server was a major turn-off. Finally a regular player again, ostrich1414 became less active on the server as he focused on smaller projects here and there, from map arts to minor work around São Porco. Still, despite his depressive state worsening, his resignation as admin had lifted a major weight off of his shoulders.<br />
<br />
[[File:ostrich1414 Last Day as Admin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Degredation.==<br />
<br />
As the server further descended into chaotic toxicity and immorality, ostrich1414's own enjoyment of the server would be continuously tested and regressed. Much of this was due to a heated drama brewing within the server, a drama which ostrich1414 would be reluctantly dragged into. By July 22nd, 2021, the Order of Wilbur would forge an official three-part alliance with the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co., establishing the [[G.S.F.W.]] super-alliance. However, the Order of Wilbur's newfound diplomatic association with these two groups would involve it in an increasingly bitter rivalry with YMP; a few weeks earlier, the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co. had griefed Cope Town, a base in which two YMP members lived. However, even earlier than this, YMP had griefed Riverwood, the OOW and COF's joint spawn base. As such, the OOW would be dragged into this conflict, a conflict which would be made official when, on August 23rd, YMP griefed Sternenfall Nochmal--GS Trading Co.'s second main base which ostrich1414 had been a member of--and declared war against all three members of the G.S.F.W. Later that same day, ostrich1414 would participate in the raid and grief of Skyreach in retaliation for Sternenfall Nochmal. Still, despite this, ostrich1414 would participate very little in the ensuing conflict; on behalf of the OOW, he refused to recognize the "war", and even made attempts to stall aggression and even forge friendliness. One of these attempted acts of avoiding war was his peace conference with [[Nikoxlas]], the leader of the [[Confederacy of Man]] (which, at the time, was also at war with the COF), in order to forge an alliance with the OOW and eventually make peace; unfortunately, this attempt failed.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COM Conference.png|400px]] [[File:Skyreach Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the conflict, dubbed "The Big War" by YMP, continued, ostrich1414 attempted to further isolate himself from it, despite his clear affiliation with the G.S.F.W. Still, the drama was inescapable. One of the members of São Porco, [[bruno_vera]], was also a YMP member--a fact that made the rest of the city's members nervous due to YMP's obsession with griefing it. Ostrich1414, like many other São Porco members, felt that the city's demise was inevitable, and thus preferred to take its destruction into their own hands rather than by a rival group like YMP. Thus, on August 28th, ostrich1414 and several other Wilburians self-griefed São Porco after having raided it, preventing YMP from doing any damage to the city. Unfortunately, the worst of the conflict was yet to come; on September 21st, GS Base #3 (GS's main base at the time) was raided and destroyed by YMP after having been leaked by [[Redbaron1991]], prompting much of GS to leave the server or take a hiatus. By this point in time, ostrich1414 had almost completely isolated himself from the conflict, having no interest in the drama or politics at play, and, instead, wishing to be left alone. Still, he was saddened by GS's departure from SimPvP, as he had forged a long-term alliance with them for over a year.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the grief of São Porco and the very destructive conflict with YMP, ostrich1414 would still find time to enjoy himself on SimPvP--with what little enjoyment he had left. On August 21st, along with [[AntiFreezeFluid]], ostrich1414 founded the city of [[Gosnold]], an island base located roughly 7k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the city grew to be massive, and ostrich1414 invited every member of the Order of Wilbur and several members of the COF and GS. For a little over a month, Gosnold would flourish into a huge megacity, complete with skyscrapers, temples, and a massive offshore statue. Of course, due to only being 7k from spawn, ostrich1414 knew that Gosnold would not last very long, and he was proven correct when, on October 1st, it was severely griefed by [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]]. Other than Gosnold, ostrich1414 would also help found the more permanent city of [[New Yittrium]], the direct successor to São Porco. Shortly after self-griefing São Porco, ostrich1414 and a few of its active remaining members--MoWobbler, cheesy_chips22, willowienal, ElectricChugg, and [[GentleGiant69]]--would move to this new city and establish several farms and buildings, quickly replacing what had been destroyed at their previous base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold Boolin.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would begin to decline in activity at both New Yittrium and on the server in general, instead logging on periodically to explore spawn bases or to AFK at farms. With very little interest or incentive to keep playing, ostrich1414 felt that both the server's climate, and his previous enjoyment of it, had been degraded by meaningless conflict. Much like the outcomes of every other SimPvP war, ostrich1414 was once again plunged into a state of disillusionment, although this time, it had been a brewing disillusionment that had reached its climax thanks to the commonality of toxicity and the mass exodus of server regulars. In his eyes, SimPvP was entering another dark age.<br />
<br />
==Things are Looking Up==<br />
<br />
By mid October 2021, ostrich1414 felt that both he, and the server at large, where in one of its lowest points in history. Sick of the drama, toxicity, hatred, and disgust that was running amok on SimPvP, ostrich1414 felt that it was finally time for a change in scenery. On October 17th, he and willoweinal would discover the server Uneasy Vanilla, a semi-anarchy Minecraft server very similar to SimPvP, but with a much friendlier community than what SimPvP had at the time. Immediately falling in love with the server, ostrich1414 would slowly invite more and more SimPvP players to Uneasy Vanilla, building up a large group known as the "Dirty Moss Boys", establishing several bases, and forming relations with many UV regulars. However, after playing on UV for a month, an incident would occur at ostrich1414's main base when the server's admin unlawfully removed their obsidian farm; this severe act of blatant admin abuse angered him and his basemates, and they soon returned to SimPvP by mid November 2021.<br />
<br />
By the time ostrich1414 had returned from his month-long break, some things had changed. One of the players most responsible for the server's hostile toxicity had been jailed, and the conflict between YMP and the G.S.F.W. had largely ended. Furthermore, ostrich1414's experience with blatant admin abuse on UV made him realize that SimPvP was truly the server for him, and he once again became motivated to regularly play. This time, however, ostrich1414 would make a vow of relative neutrality; the conflict with YMP had severely demoralized him, and he did not wish to repeat it again. Instead, ostrich1414 made it his goal to focus on rebuilding and rebranding the Order of Wilbur, which had also suffered from the conflict. Deciding they wanted to instead focus on building, especially spawn projects, ostrich1414 and GentleGiant69 devised a plan to construct massive obsidian statues using their large reserve of obsidian at New Yittrium. Thus, the Order of Wilbur's first obsidian statue would be that of a T-rex on November 23rd; a day later, they would construct the [[Snail]], a massive obsidian snail near spawn. The Snail in particular would become one of the defining moments of the Order of Wilbur's reformation, and the project drew dozens of players to help aid in its construction. The Snail would be completed roughly two days later, consisting of 177,000 blocks of solid obsidian. Although the large project drew its fair share of conflict--including a few battles and an eventual lavacast--the Snail was nonetheless a success in terms of spwan projects, and the beginning of both ostrich1414 and the OOW's return to form.<br />
<br />
[[File:T-Rex Statue.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 1.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the OOW grew, adding more members and emphasizing a focus on spawn work, ostrich1414 also found himself starting a new base that would be handled by the group. On November 27th, several players that ostrich1414 had met on Uneasy Vanilla joined SimPvP, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Alongside [[LidGuy]], ostrich1414 brought them far out to a new location, where they eventually settled and founded the city of [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become a unique base, with its membership mostly composed of players who had played Uneasy Vanilla for some significant time; it soon became an affiliate base of the Order of Wilbur, and several other Wilburians were invited to join. Pangaea would flourish throughout the next few months, featuring a series of diverse styles of architecture and builds, from modern skyscrapers to medieval villages to rustic cabins to industrial farms. Ostrich1414 himself would invest heavily into Pangaea, constructing three skyscrapers and also building a sugar cane farm and a blaze farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pangaea Skyline January 29.png|400px]] [[File:Chilling in Villager Hall.png|400px]] [[File:Gonmoose at Pangaea 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By December 2021, [[Laztec]]--the OOW's most recent member at the time--would propose the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign, in which he aimed to clean up and repair much of spawn through a variety of different methods. Ostrich1414 personally loved this idea, and felt that their first course of action should be the removal of spawn's excessive water flooding. Thus, the two began to pull together a team of players dedicated to removing spawn's laggy water, with Laztec constructing numerous flying machines capable of removing large amounts of water at once. By mid December, the MSGA had managed to remove a massive section of water at spawn thanks to these efforts.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between December 2021 and January 2022, ostrich1414's newfound lifestyle of peace and neutrality, emphasized by his focus on OOW projects, had led him to enjoy SimPvP more than he had months prior. On January 4th, 2022, the Order of Wilbur officially left the G.S.F.W. in order to focus on its new commitment to neutrality; only a few days later, both [[jake276493]] and [[MrNutInYourButt]] were jailed and banned for x-raying, removing the little conflict remaining for ostrich1414 and his group. Finally, it felt like things were looking up: the OOW was flourishing, and ostrich1414 was enjoying his time on the server, focusing on building up both Pangaea and New Yittrium, as well as the occasional spawn project with the OOW. SimPvP as a whole was also become far less toxic and dramatic than it had been before his month-long break, and, to ostrich1414, this felt like the beginning of a new era of harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:SimPvP New Year's Day 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Wholesome: 100==<br />
<br />
The first five months of 2022 quickly proved to be one of the most enjoyable periods of SimPvP for ostrich1414 in recent memory, thanks to the relatively peaceful state the server was in. During this time, ostrich1414 focused primarily on the growth and reformation of the Order of Wilbur, adding new members to the group and expanding its list of projects, from community work at spawn to base building. Ostrich1414 would once again assist Laztec with his MSGA campaign, helping to finish remove the massive water cube at spawn and destroy the many lavacasts at spawn using recently re-enabled TNT duping, as well as destroy the lavacast around the Snail and replacing it with a protective water cube. Furthermore, alongside TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22, ostrich1414 focused on establishing and expanding the Stonetown Memorial Hub, the OOW's private portal hub that features links to many old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. This project would persist over the course of several months, starting in January, with ostrich1414 adding new rooms and one-way portal links while TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22 helped him decorate.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Water Removal Squad.png|400px]] [[File:Snail Cast Removal Team.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Memorial Hub.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 was also increasingly more active at his bases during early 2022, slowly regaining his motivation to build again after over a year of losing it. At New Yittrium, ostrich1414 focused on a project in which he flattened an entire savannah biome to one single y-level, then placing smooth stone slabs all over it. Inspired by the clear-cut borders of the location, ostrich1414 announced that his district at the base would become its own fully-independent, sovereign city-state known as the Republic of Wachusett. This sudden change soon inspired the rest of New Yittrium to do the same, with everyone establishing their own independent city-states and defining the international borders that separated them. This change to the base proved so great, in fact, that the members of New Yittrium decided to change its name to "Civitrium"; now, "New Yittrium" was just the name of MoWobbler's city-state, whereas "Civitrium" was the base as a whole. All the while, ostrich1414 would work on his own city-state, Wachusett, spending most of his time slabbing the flattened savannah and laying the groundwork for a new city atop it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Civitrium Gang February.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, he was also somewhat active at both Void City and Pangaea's successor, [[Kinabalu]]. At Void City, ostrich1414 would build for the first time in over a year, constructing a small apartment building originally designed by Korijenkins. Meanwhile, at Kinabalu, ostrich1414 would construct another one of his famous skyscrapers. Although his activity at Kinabalu would not be as great as at Civitrium's during this time, ostrich1414 had played a major role in founding the city back in February 2022, shortly after the abandonment of Pangaea due to poor security. Kinabalu, nonetheless, would flourish thanks to its many other active members, as would Void City, gaining a boost in building by April 2022.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void City April 9th.png|400px]] [[File:Early Kinabalu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Around this time, ostrich1414 would once again become majorly interested in basehunting, and spent much of April and May 2022 basehunting around the greater spawn region. In fact, much of the OOW was inspired to do the same, and the group had several large basehunting expeditions together. Ostrich1414 and his crew of basehunting Wilburians managed to discover many unique bases during this time, several of which had not been discovered yet. In fact, the Stonetown Memorial Hub that ostrich1414 had been working on would serve as a transportation / storage hub for particular basehunting endeavors.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Basehunting 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW Basehunting 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important event that would occur for ostrich1414 during this time was his reinstatement as admin on April 1st. Although he had originally not planned to ever return as admin again, he was persuaded to try once more by the other SimPvP admins, especially due to his difficulty of running the 2022 Map Art Competition as a non-admin. Nevertheless, the second-annual competition would once again prove to be a success, with eleven map arts being submitted in total and forty-four players coming to vote. Like last time, ostrich1414 would submit his own map art, ''Jules Winnfield'', which came in fourth place. Although ostrich1414 had strongly disliked being admin before, he found himself enjoying it far more this time, primarily due to the more "chill" atmosphere on SimPvP.<br />
<br />
[[File:2022 Map Art Competition Winners.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with a renewed love for SimPvP thanks to the friendlier environment, ostrich1414 found himself participating in several community events. He, along with several other Wilburians, were invited to the "3rd International Lord1 Day" on February 28th, hosted by the Church of Francis. He also aided GS Trading Co. with their removal of the lavacasts at end spawn, helping SkullerG hand-mine many of the lavacasts there over the course of a few months. He even took part in the small community spawn project run by SkullerG, known as "Fartopia", on May 6th. While ostrich1414 was far from being fully active and motivated, he was nonetheless enjoying SimPvP far more than he had in months, and was finally having fun again after nearly two years of server depression. It was truly Wholesome: 100 epic sauce fortnite Keanu Reeves (sorry).<br />
<br />

<br />
==Relapse into Stagnation==<br />
<br />
Although 2022 had been a significantly more enjoyable year for ostrich1414 overall, he once again found himself slipping into inactivity by the summer, an inactivity that only increased by the fall. While this inactivity was due to real life responsibilities rather than a disillusionment with SimPvP, it nonetheless resulted in a much slower decline in activity for ostrich1414. Still, he found himself partaking in many server events, particularly alongside the Order of Wilbur.<br />
<br />
July 2022 would be both ostrich1414 and the OOW's most important month of that summer. On July 10th, both ostrich1414 and Laztec founded [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's latest spawn base. Thanks to changes in build depth and terrain generation brought on by SimPvP's transition to 1.18, the group was able to build underneath bedrock at y=0 to create a floating base in the void, something that was not possible before. Shortly after its founding, numerous other Wilburians joined and Shadow Grove grew to become a modest, yet beautifully unique base. It would also take credit as the host the OOW's most important event of the year.<br />
<br />
[[File:Shadow Grove 1.png|400px]] [[File:Shadow Grove 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur officially celebrated its eight year anniversary, something it had been unable to do a year prior. The celebration occurred in two parts: first, all OOW members met in Stonetown, alongside their Church of Francis allies, to exchange gifts and partake in events. Second, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where they hosted an OOW-exclusive celebration. Ostrich1414 would gift each member an individualized, handwritten book, thanking them for all their help in growing the clan, and for making 2022 its best year yet. Afterwards, ostrich1414 and several other members would move on to the build server, where they partook in helping [[Nebuelaz]] test his upcoming event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]]. Having successfully founded and run an eight year old clan, ostrich1414 was truly satisfied to see how far the OOW had come, with this celebration being a highlight of his year.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW 8 Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the promising start of the summer, ostrich1414 soon fell into a period of stagnation, characterized by a new lack of motivation and inactivity. This time, however, it was not brought on by server drama or toxicity, but a general sense of disinterest in SimPvP, and real life responsibilities. Still, ostrich1414 made time for the server, finding himself participating in community events and projects here and there. Ostrich1414 would aid Laztec in his latest spawn effort, a large obsidian structure known as Terabyte, in early August. Alongside several other Wilburians, ostrich1414 helped place obsidian to produce yet another magnificent obsidian build. Later, on August 17th, ostrich1414 would surprisingly join GS Trading Co.'s new base, [[Wasted Disk Space (WDS)]], after being brought there at random by SkullerG (although he would not be active here for the rest of the year). He would also attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration within the Church of Francis, joining as a Wilburian diplomat.<br />
<br />
[[File:Terabyte 1.png|400px]] [[File:MrDavid99 COF Inaguration.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
From September to October, however, ostrich1414 was relatively inactive. At most, he would help out around his three main bases--Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City--and run the OOW behind the scenes. Aside from minor work here and there at these bases, ostrich1414 had a decline in interest, and less time, during these months. It wasn't until November when he would enter a month-long hiatus, not returning to SimPvP until early December. Ironically, this hiatus helped spark a renewed interest within him: ostrich1414 would find himself aiding [[dacegod863]] with his revitalization efforts at [[Fern Springs]], an abandoned OOW base that ostrich1414 himself had founded with TuataraBoots back in March 2022. Still, while things were going much better for ostrich1414, his interest in SimPvP had been steadily waning, only seeing him participate in major server events and projects.<br />

<br />
Ostrich1414 was a player and former admin who joined the server on December 27th, 2013. He was noteworthy for being the server's only black player and one of its most frequent AFK players, as well as a dedicated Masshole and cynical shitposter with a self-deprecation problem.<br />
<br />
On October 16th, 2023, ostrich1414 would intentionally build and use a carpet duping machine in order to quit the server; he was subsequently jailed for duping and demoted. He has NOT regretted this decision one bit!<br />
<br />
Whatever you do, ''do not'' type /age ostrich1414 on SimPvP!<br />
<br />
=History=<br />
<br />
==The Worst Mistake I've Ever Made==<br />
<br />
On the cold, snowy day of December 27th, 2013, player ostrich1414 logged onto SimPvP with his friend PlayaSwoop9. Looking for a vanilla server to grief and destroy people's work, the two headed away from the mangled mess of [[Spawn]], but didn't get far; they both died various times due to lack of food.<br />
<br />
At the time, ostrich1414 and PlayaSwoop9 were noobs and had no idea how to play Minecraft at all; they had both just recently gotten the game for the first time.<br />
<br />
However, a miracle would soon arrive: [[DeflowVesper]], an admin, helped lead the two noobs to safety, bringing them to [[Castle Snowfrog]] where they indulged in hundreds of melons and built a small, cobblestone cube to live in within the castle's grounds.<br />
<br />
[[File:CS2018.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
PlayaSwoop9 later left the server and never returned, unimpressed by it. Ostrich1414, however, took a liking to it and stuck around Castle Snowfrog for a few weeks. Here, he developed a small friendship with snowfrog43 and helped to maintain the castle by farming and simply cleaning it up a bit.<br />
<br />
==Alliance with Pippenger==<br />
<br />
One day while in Castle Snowfrog, ostrich1414 began a conversation in the chat with a player named [[Pippenger]]. After talking for a few hours, where he educated ostrich1414 on Minecraft basics, Pippenger invited him to a base he was currently working on, known simply as "[[The Stomping Ground]]". Ostrich1414 traveled there and met up with Pippenger, who was working on the base alongside [[Mr._Hole_Digger]]. Construction on the base began around January 2014.<br />
<br />
Pippenger was very kind to ostrich1414, giving him the freedom to build whatever he wanted and a limitless supply of tools and materials for his creations. With these, ostrich1414 built a shitty house on the edge of a bay: his first "major" build on the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:SGI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Early that same year, ostrich1414 collaborated with pippenger once again, as well as Cdnam5, as they built [[Uinia]], a large castle near spawn; they also founded "The Noobtree Foundation", a short-lived organization dedicated to assisting new players and repairing spawn.<br />
<br />
[[File:UiniaIII.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==A Journey of Self==<br />
<br />
When The Stomping Ground began to dissolve and Uinia was completed, and work in general was slowed to an abrupt end, Pippenger left to tend to other bases while ostrich1414 decided to set out on his own. He eventually landed on a small island nearby spawn, where he constructed yet another shitty, unfinished cobblestone house. He stayed on this island for a short time, working on his appalling base by himself. The remnants of this base can still be seen today at x=13166 z=1795.<br />
<br />
While here, Pippenger asked him yet again to join his newest base: [[Stonetown]]. Ostrich1414 was eager to come and help and immediately departed from his island base, heading towards Stonetown.<br />
<br />
==Stonetown, Wilbur, and His Brief Hiatus==<br />
<br />
At Stonetown, ostrich1414 was able to grow into a much better player and builder. At this time, around early to mid-2014, ostrich1414 helped in the construction of a small town outside of a massive dome made out of dirt and covered in trees; using Pippenger's [[Imperial Architecture]], ostrich1414 was able to strengthen his building skills and constructed many of the town's buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014, ostrich1414 attempted to get the achievement "When Pigs Fly". He was trying to complete many of the existing Minecraft achievements and this seemed like one he could easily do. Grabbing a pig, whom he named "[[Wilbur]]", ostrich1414 headed to the top of the tree dome and climbed on top of Wilbur. The two fell to their death and all that remained was Wilbur's saddle and the carrot-on-a-stick. The brutal murder of Wilbur sparked outrage throughout the server, and a memorial was constructed in both Stonetown and in /world by ostrich1414. A secret cult, known as "[[The Order of Wilbur]]", was later established, and its headquarters remained in Stonetown. Not much is known about this secretive organization.<br />
<br />
When construction in Stonetown began to slow down and its members moved on to other things, ostrich1414 went on a brief hiatus, unsure if he would ever rejoin again.<br />
<br />
==He's Back! (feat. Hiatus, Part II)==<br />
<br />
In early 2015, ostrich1414 rejoined SimPvP. Pippenger, ever so kind to him, invited ostrich1414 to his newest base: [[Virunum]]. Ostrich1414 made the long journey there, eager to reunite with his former teammates and begin work on a brand-new base, possibly the biggest one yet. He eventually landed in a small village suburb just outside of the planned city's location; this village was a walled-in area made predominantly out of granite blocks. Here, ostrich1414 stayed as he prepared himself for the next big build.<br />
<br />
While at Virunum, ostrich1414 only ever completed one building, the shitty house shown below:<br />
<br />
[[File:Ostrich1414sHouse.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
It wasn't long before ostrich1414 went on hiatus yet again. However, unlike before, this was a much longer hiatus: he left the server in mid-2015 and did not return until January of 2017. During his absence, ostrich1414 fucked nine million bitches and snorted 57 lines of cocaine daily.<br />
<br />
==A New Era of ostrich1414==<br />
<br />
In January of 2017, ostrich1414 finally returned to the server. He came to realize that he had missed a lot of things: a major war, the building (and griefing) of Virunum, and even Pippenger's official retirement from the game. Determined to stay put on the server and leave an impact on it, ostrich1414 returned to Stonetown briefly to get back in shape for playing yet again. Reuniting with old friends and explaining his desire to stay, ostrich1414 set out, yet again, on a journey to build a new base.<br />
<br />
He later settled on a fair-sized Mushroom Island biome in the middle of the ocean. As he set up base there, he recruited [[Z33VN]] to come and help him construct this new base: a base built in the honor of Pippenger, using his signature Imperial Architecture style. This base, known as "[[Quinsigamond]]", grew very quickly as ostrich1414 recruited his longtime ally and friend [[JavelinFury]], as well as players Elystriana and KellyEKelly. Quinsigamond eventually became a hub of history, serving as an exhibition to the hard work and dedication that the longtime players of SimPvP have contributed to the server; this city became a living memorial to these players and their history.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Creating a Capital==<br />
<br />
After Quinsigamond's completion, ostrich1414 and JavelinFury began their newest project: a massive city known as "[[Monarchia]]". Monarchia was to become the capital city for the Remembrance, a new clan founded by the two themselves. The goal of this clan was to preserve and protect SimPvP's rich history and culture, and it was understood that this team of players needed a much larger city to headquarter their efforts. Joined by their close ally [[clipchip]], the three began to work on Monarchia as they prepared to establish a capital for the server's newest clan and a much larger city, made up of various distinct districts; this was ostrich1414's largest project to date, and it was this moment when he realized that, despite Pippenger's departure from the server, maybe he was capable of reclaiming this former glory and establishing an empire of his own. With Quinsigamond complete, the Remembrance growing, and Monarchia in the works ostrich1414 was becoming more involved in the society of the server than ever before.<br />
<br />
[[File:MonarchiaSkyline2017.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The United Alliance==<br />
<br />
In June of 2017, ostrich1414 received a surprise when Pippenger, using his alt [[Porkington]], returned to the server after a long hiatus (one that even rivals ostrich1414's). This event, as well as several other minor factors, prompted ostrich1414 and JavelinFury to fully reform the Remembrance and shift its focus and organization. This change saw the creation of the [[United Alliance]], a new clan which put ostrich1414 as its leader. The United Alliance, or UA, grew very quickly as new recruits were taken in almost daily and a surplus of bases were gained under its control throughout the server. Ostrich1414, who had never been the leader of such a large clan before, quickly felt the pressure and was forced to curb his dictatorial urges of authority and genocide. Meanwhile, he would focus on infrastructure, recruitment, and community production as he attempted to mirror the image of his mentor, Pippenger.<br />
<br />
==The War of Monarchia and Surrender==<br />
Though the next few months of the UA's existence were very progressive and bountiful, reaching its peak membership and involved with a vast assortment of affiliated bases, things began to turn sour when clipchip officially left the UA on August 22nd, 2017. Tensions between him and the UA only worsened, and he soon established "Clipiiii's Gang" following his departure.<br />
<br />
[[File:WarOfMonarchia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
From September 27th, 2017 to October 6th, 2017, the United Alliance and Clipiiii's Gang were engaged in a war fought entirely on Monarchia, known as the [[War of Monarchia]]. The war was declared by ostrich1414 himself after several acts of aggression from clipchip, who threatened the UA's progression and Monarchia's sovereignty. Though the war resulted in multiple deaths and an array of damage and destruction, it ultimately ended in peace as ostrich1414 officially surrendered to Clipiiii's Gang on October 6th, ending the War of Monarchia.<br />
<br />
After this date, ostrich1414 formally resigned from his position as Leader of the United Alliance and gave full control of the organization to clipchip, who later used its foundations to establish a new, modified clan, [[The Royal Allegiance]]. Under this treaty, clipchip had also gained control of all of the UA's bases, including ostrich1414's creations, Quinsigamond and Monarchia. The war and its results took a deep toll on ostrich1414 as he soon became semi-active and would tend to AFK frequently, though clipchip still allowed him to build in Monarchia and other such bases under the title of his personal indentured servant.<br />
<br />
==A New League==<br />
<br />
Secretly, behind the scenes, ostrich1414 and his close ally Porkington had been plotting the results of the War of Monarchia all along: after ostrich1414 resigned from the United Alliance and gave control over to clipchip, ostrich1414 and Porkington would move onto a new base as they began to plan a new clan of their own. Under the guise of being an RA member, ostrich1414 and Porkington began to work together on their new base, "[[Estevez]]", or "Vez" for short: a massive underground complex consisting of various farms, domes and halls, beginning in October of 2017. The two eventually recruited [[Master_Xybot]], their fellow ally and former UA member, and the three worked tirelessly on Estevez as they began secretly plotting theirs.<br />
<br />
[[File:EstevezDome.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the midst of construction at Estevez, ostrich1414 founded another newer base for the team, named [[Struthio]]. Though much smaller in size than Estevez, Struthio was unique as it was a small coastal savannah town consisting entirely of acacia wood and stone brick, and the town's layout itself was modeled after ostrich1414's own Quinsigamond due to its congestion in such a small land area. Struthio also contained various villager farms nearby, as well as the later Hall of Vatlos, a colossal structure which ostrich1414 and Porkington began work on in December 2017.<br />
<br />
[[File:DowntownStruthio.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 also began to work around spawn more frequently this time, taking part in much smaller bases, including [[Oberstein]] and [[Grasstle]]. These bases came with the sole intent to spread the team's influence near spawn and to draw new players and prepare them for their career in the server, hoping to breed a new generation of SimPvP players and teammates. Using his alt OstrichsGayAlt at Oberstein and frequently visiting Grasstle to assist newcomers, ostrich1414 made it a new goal of his to reach out to new players and give them hope, reminiscent of his mission while in the UA.<br />
<br />
[[File:Oberstein1.png|400px]] [[File:GrasstleOverview.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On January 5th, 2018, the three co-founders finally decided on a team name: [[The League]]. After announcing this publicly to the server, all three players officially withdrew from the Royal Allegiance, and ostrich1414 was finally able to focus solely on his work for the League, no longer being secretive or suspicious.<br />
<br />
==Times of Turbulence==<br />
<br />
Upon withdrawing from the RA, ostrich1414 and his League companions drew much controversy and criticism from their former RA allies, who were furious that they left. This anger was especially garnered by JavelinFury and clipchip, who openly denounced the League various times. Z33VN, Quinsigamond's co-founder, was also furious upon ostrich1414's departure. Despite this, ostrich1414 maintained his status as an active member of the League, working on various team projects, all the while attempting to mend the fractured relationship between him and his RA allies.<br />
<br />
On January 19th, 2018, Quinsigamond suffered from a minor griefing incident in which one of the city's main towers was covered in lava. Though there was very little damage and the griefing was far from destructive, it still sent a warning to ostrich1414 that one of his former allies may be after him, especially one who had access to Quinsigamond. Although he was unable to discover the culprit behind the act, clipchip and Z33VN were seen as the prime suspects, though both have denied participating in the incident. Despite this, all players saw the griefing as a response to the formation of the League and ostrich1414's departure from the RA.<br />
<br />
[[File:QuinsiGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the next two months that followed, war appeared to be imminent as [[The Cold War]] commenced. The League and the Royal Allegiance were rarely on good terms, and the two teams barely cooperated or respected each other. Both JavelinFury and clipchip claimed to have discovered Pippenger's city [[Ascaris]], which severely lowered the League's morale and struck fear among many, especially ostrich1414 and Pippenger himself. Later on, the RA city of Monarchia was severely griefed and looted by an unknown player, and the act was denounced by both teams; however, as no one knew who conducted the griefing, players from both teams attempted to frame each other in order to favor themselves. Coupled with these events, the RA frequently claimed to be constructing weapons of mass destruction which would destroy the League, and the League would also make threats, expressing a desire to cripple the already-declining RA.<br />
<br />
By mid-March 2018, nothing major seemed to occur, a war was never declared. Ostrich1414, due to increased boredom, disinterest, and "IRL" obligations, as well as fear and anxiety on the server, began to play less and less, logging on very infrequently and AFK-ing more than playing. His last major project on the server before his frequent inactivity was the city of [[Majula]], which he constructed with Porkington, [[Sir_Phenhex]] and CranberryWarrior. However, this did not last very long, and ostrich1414 began to severely decline in activity, possibly hinting at a third hiatus from the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:Majula1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Taking it Easy==<br />
<br />
After abandoning Majula in March due to a suspected infiltration, as well as dealing with other issues in real life, ostrich1414's inactivity turned to a (very) short hiatus. From mid-March to late-June 2018, as the Cold War reached its end, ostrich1414 failed to return to the server and remained inactive. However, by late June, ostrich1414 had once again returned, this time with the goal of "taking it easy". Rather than returning with a "boom" like he had the last time he returned from a hiatus, ostrich1414 decided to focus on helping others, rather than himself.<br />
<br />
Around late June, ostrich1414 invited [[Sengorn_Leopard]], a new ally of his and pippenger's, to Quinsigamond. From Quinsigamond, ostrich1414 then transferred Sengorn_Leopard to Struthio, where he remained for a longer period of time. Ostrich1414 became a mentor-of-sorts to Sengorn_Leopard, briefing him on the culture and history of SimPvP that he had come to learn and love. Though Struthio had remained stagnant for months, Sengorn-Leopard's arrival revived it, and the base once again flourished with new projects and architecture.<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 was eventually invited to join the base [[Java Linsghey]] in July 2018; here, he assisted his longtime allies, such as JavelinFury, clipchip, and [[MisterStrawman]], among others. Ostrich1414 built the [[Get Clip A Girlfriend]] National Headquarters, providing the organization he had founded in 2017 with a legitimate physical office. However, ostrich1414 was not as regularly active at Java Linsghey as he was at previous bases, and it soon fell relatively stale. Because of this, shortly thereafter, ostrich1414 was invited to yet another base, this time [[Tol Honeth]], by JavelinFury and clipchip once again in August 2018. Though he was becoming immersed in the server's current events once more, he failed to be as active or as aggressive as he once was, and decided that it was time to enjoy the moments while they lasted.<br />
<br />
[[File:JavaLinsgheySkyline.png|400px]] [[File:TolHoneth1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414's Renaissance==<br />
<br />
By late-August 2018, ostrich1414 had shifted most of his focus onto Struthio, the small coastal town he had founded with the League. Though he had largely abandoned it since early 2018 due to his hiatus, he gained a renewed interest in it due to Sengorn_Leopard's arrival. Here, Sengorn_Leopard began constructing a large, complex structure known as "Aether Tower", which promptly turned his "temporary" stay at Struthio into a permanent one. Sengorn-Leopard's interest in building up Struthio greatly influenced ostrich1414, who worked alongside him as the two added many new buildings and farms to the city. Thus, this became the beginning of Struthio's Renaissance, the rebirth of the previously neglected base, which witnessed a massive growth of its peninsula area. Porkington and ostrich1414 also completed the Hall of Vatlos, having put it on hold prior to Struthio's Renaissance.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioNewI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Much of this rebuilding of Struthio came as a response to pippenger's own desire to greatly expand his base [[Ascaris]], claiming it to be the largest, most vast city on SimPvP. Thus, ostrich1414, Sengorn_Leopard and pippenger entered a friendly competition with each other as both Struthio and Ascaris tried to outgrow the other in terms of size and complexity, a rivalry jokingly referred to as the beginning of "The Vast Age".<br />
<br />
On September 28th, 2018, ostrich1414 officially announced his departure from the League, with himself and Porkington later deciding to disband the team altogether. As ostrich1414 wanted to solely focus on Struthio, and pippenger on Ascaris, with the team itself becoming largely dormant and irrelevant, the two decided that there was no logical reason to continue the League's goals and objectives, but, rather, to remain teamless and focus on expanding SimPvP's existing bases.<br />
<br />
Not long after, in October 2018, ostrich1414 and Porkington continued their expansion of Oberstein, their mountainous town near spawn. This was done in anticipation of the 2018 version of the spawn map (found here: [https://simplicitypvp.net/maps/#simpvp2018/0/3/0/0/64]), which was set to release the following month in November. Along with greatly increasing Oberstein's size, the two also collaborated on [[Glowstone Tower]], a massive nearby tower that reached up to the height limit.<br />
<br />
[[File:ObI.png|400px]] [[File:GlowstoneTower1.png|200px]]<br />
<br />
==Adjusting to an Ever-Changing Landscape==<br />
<br />
On November 1st, 2018, ostrich1414 hosted the first-ever [[Server Party at Quinsigamond]], an event that would soon become infamous. After making Quinsigamond a public base that same day, releasing coordinates for all to access and connecting it to the nether highway, he hosted a party at the city, prompting ten other players to join him in celebration. However, things soon went awry when [[Sellout9]], one of the guests, began mercilessly attacking some of the players. An all-out massacre soon arose as all players began fighting each other, resulting in many deaths and lost valuables. Quinsigamond itself was affected, with some of the city destroyed and in ruins, as well as looted and raided. Nevertheless, Quinsigamond still stands today, open to the public, and the memory of the crazy event of the Server Party became a highlight of the year.<br />
<br />
[[File:SPQ2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
When 1.13 came around in mid-November, things changed forever as SimPvP was altered in many ways. The server became much laggier and slower, and dozens of farms were destroyed and/or modified. This would eventually result in a full-scale upgrade, forcing the server's admin [[Yukarion]] to create a temporary map as the main map updated in the background. On the temporary map, beginning on December 5th, 2018, ostrich1414 started from scratch and soon formed an alliance and base of operations with other players. Here, ostrich1414, along with these teammates, launched an all-out war against all pro-phantomers (those who supported the addition of phantoms in 1.13) loosely referred to as "The Phantom Wars". All pro-phantomer bases and players were griefed and killed respectively, resulting in ostrich1414's own base being destroyed in response by them. Once the main map returned on December 11th, this was later resolved peacefully.<br />
<br />
[[File:PhantomWars.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
1.13's updates and the close to 2018 brought many changes to SimPvP and ostrich1414 as a whole, especially regarding Struthio, his main base of focus. Ostrich1414 had invited new players to join the city, all the while watching it quickly grow as Struthio's Renaissance continued. 1.13 had destroyed a few of Struthio's farms, forcing them to redo many of them; the greatest example of this is the destruction of Struthio's first wither farm, forcing the players to begin construction on a new farm, resulting in the second iteration becoming much larger and more complex. Struthio's emergence as a power-player within the server's politics and social climate was also becoming apparent, and ostrich1414's presence as the city founder and a forefront player allowed him to sway many of the decisions occurring there. Many of these decisions included the annexation and colonization of [[Bapadia]] on November 9th, 2018, a focus on mentoring new players and giving them positions, and attempting to strengthen alliances with other players in an attempt to build prominence.<br />
<br />
[[File:COB2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==An Explosive Growth==<br />
<br />
As SimPvP entered 2019, ostrich1414 found himself in the midst of a massively-changing culture and community: by January alone, the player count had nearly doubled, and dozens of new players were joining, more than the server had seen in a long time. Ostrich1414 recognized this change in server popularity and decided to utilize it for himself; on January 18th, 2019, ostrich1414 would perpetrate the first major event of the year: the Takeover of [[Fort Cranberry]]. Ostrich1414 annexed and colonized Fort Cranberry for Struthio, much like he did for Bapadia, and placed [[talksalot011]] and AaronRC93 in charge of the colony. Furthermore, he ordered several new players living at the fort to place kill its owner, [[CranberryWarrior]], on sight. What resulted were a series of battles between CranberryWarrior and ostrich1414's colonial army, ultimately resulting in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:FC2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, things would soon sour as a group of griefers, known as #TeamYMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]], joined the server in an attempt to launch various griefing and raiding campaigns on its many spawn bases. The first of these campaign's were YMP's raid on [[Novus Castle]] on February 16th, 2019. [[Cmlove]], who built the castle, requested backup to assist in fighting back the attackers, and ostrich1414 was one of the many players to join the counter-attack. However, despite being in fully-maxxed out diamond gear with god weapons, ostrich1414 was slain by JacksTheReaper, a member of YMP, which ultimately resulted in the raid on Novus Castle being a victory for the griefing team. Ironically enough, YMP would later grief Fort Cranberry the next day, ending ostrich1414's second official colony.<br />
<br />
[[File:NovusCastleGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these instances of intense strife and destruction, 2019 also served as a year of positive growth and change for ostrich1414. His city Struthio was skyrocketing as both a world power and a wealthy, vast city, its skyline becoming iconic. Ostrich1414 invited various new members to Struthio, and by April 2019, the city had grown significantly in both size, wealth, power and membership. Players such as [[CrackyJoe]], clipchip and [[DakkaDok]] would soon assist at Struthio, and even Master_Xybot returned from his hiatus in February to help build once again. Porkington, however, would later quit the city, enraged by his perceived lack of respect there.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioSkylineApril.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, ostrich1414 would also become the co-founder of a new city, a sort-of side project of his to Struthio. This city was named [[Florestria]], which he co-founded with [[SkykirryChycho]] on February 20th, 2019. What began as a small, quiet lakeside community quickly grew into a much larger city, with various farms, buildings and towers dotting the skyline. Ostrich1414 used Florestria as a city to build relationships with newer SimPvP players, a stark contrast to Struthio's makeup of older players.<br />
<br />
[[File:FlorestriaApril19.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
During the first few months of 2019, especially due to the explosive growth in player count, ostrich1414 found himself establishing several formal relationships with other teams and bases. Struthio and [[Triterrus]] formed an official alliance as sister cities, and Struthio and [[Nos Aeterna]] also formed an alliance, with DakkaDok even arriving at Struthio to build an embassy. Struthio and [[Ishtar]] formed an alliance (prior to its grief), and Struthio and Florestria shared embassies as well. Struthio and [[New Bapadia]] found themselves forming an alliance, with ostrich1414 mending his relationship with Bapada63 after the incident at Bapadia. Ostrich1414 himself also increased his number of affiliations and alliances, trying to build a new reputation as a trading power.<br />
<br />
==Shit Goes Down==<br />
<br />
By the middle of spring 2019, ostrich1414 was able to experience both of his cities, Struthio and Florestria, prosper to their fullest as they progressed exponentially. Each city was gaining several new members, farms and buildings almost weekly. However, behind the scenes, things were not going very well diplomatically: in April 2019, Struthio had been discovered by a group known as "Passione", which included [[Brusa95]], [[Chris_cord]] and [[trppbll]]. While ostrich1414 was allied and on good terms with Passione, there was one player whom they were allied with that would prove to be detrimental to the city: [[Antzakes1]].<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioDiscovery2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Due to a series of pre-existing tensions (which included ambushes in /world and the raid of Java Linsghey), Antzakes1 immediately began threatening Struthio's safety upon being invited there by Passione. Realizing the city was already compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Struthians began to form plans on what to do next: the declaration of war was seriously being considered, while plans for a new city in a new location was also considered. Regardless, tensions would only worsen: it was discovered that [[AntHand]], a member of Florestria, had sold that city's coordinates to Antzakes1 for Struthio's coordinates, which now meant that Antzakes1 had access to two of ostrich1414's most important cities, which doubled the threats. Enraged at AntHand, as well as feeling betrayed, ostrich1414 decided to enact revenge on him. On May 9th, while AntHand was AFK in Florestria's gunpowder farm, ostrich1414 laced the area with TNT and blew him up, killing him instantaneously and destroying all of his drops. Ostrich1414 immediately fled from Florestria after.<br />
<br />
[[File:AntHandAttack1.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, AntHand and ostrich1414 apologized to each other and made up, realizing that Antzakes1 had manipulated them into quarreling with each other. While plans for an all-out war against Antzakes1 continued, both Struthio and Florestria ultimately decided to move on and simply ignore Antzakes1. Both cities decided to fully start from scratch as several members from each flocked to new locations, while Antzakes1 ultimately went on hiatus. Unfortunately, [[TheOnlySlash]] would leak Struthio's coordinates to the public, which ultimately resulted in the city being griefed by jared2013 on June 3rd, 2019, resulting in the end of ostrich1414's greatest city yet. Florestria, meanwhile, would survive, albeit fully abandoned.<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414 IV: A New Hope==<br />
<br />
Despite the countless setbacks of the Antzakes1 Crisis, ostrich1414 emerged stronger than ever. By June 2019, he was heavily involved in three major cities: [[Nos Aeterna]], [[Yittrium]] and [[Segoria]] (the Big 3).<br />
<br />
Previously, ostrich1414 had been invited to [[DakkaDok]]'s city, Nos Aeterna, in mid-April 2019. Due to the city's immense distance from spawn and its lack of portal connections, ostrich1414 sent a new alt, XXXOstrichtacion, to live and work at the city. While he would not be heavily active here, ostrich1414 did assist Nos Aeterna's growth in several ways, including building a skyscraper in honor of Struthio, helping to organize the city's brand-new storage facility, and fixing several farms. Two other former Struthians, Sengorn_Leopard and CrackyJoe, were also invited alongside ostrich1414.<br />
<br />
[[File:NosAeternaSkylineJuly.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Yittrium was the immediate follow-up of Florestria. After Florestria was compromised and abandoned in May 2019, ostrich1414 and the rest of its members fled to a new location significantly farther out, forming the city of Yittrium. Unlike Florestria, which was a quiet, lowkey lakeside community, Yittrium was a massive metropolis with several highrises and large-scale builds. Yittrium was directly influenced by Struthio's modern-city aesthetic, featuring a very imposing skyline.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumSkylineAugust.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Segoria, the last of the Big 3 for ostrich1414, was a follow-up city for Struthio. Segoria's location had actually been discovered and claimed by Sengorn_Leopard during Struthio's prime, but it was essentially reserved only in the occasion that the city fell; Segoria was a back-up plot for a new start. Thus, after Struthio was compromised, several key members of the city fled to the new location, Segoria, in May 2019. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would not be very active here: he had sent his alt OstrichsCoolAlt to live at Segoria while he focused heavily on Yittrium, but many of Segoria's members helped grow the city into a large medieval base with several palaces, temples and statues.<br />
<br />
[[File:Segoria2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of these three cities, ostrich1414 had been involved in the server in other smaller ways. He established the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] in March 2019, but really progressed it by May. The CAB served as an alliance between several powerful and wealthy cities, three of which ostrich1414 was involved at. Furthermore, ostrich1414 would engage in several small-scale battles. The first of these was the Battle of Knee Mo, which took place in Yittrium on May 31st. This occurred after AntHand accidentally killed one of [[MoWobbler]]'s fish in a public fountain, resulting in an all-out violent battle. The second battle was the [[Battle of Quagsmaria]], which pitted ostrich1414 and TheOnlySlash against [[Lord1]] and Cocoaboa. After ostrich1414 tried to annex the base [[Quagsmaria]] on July 6th, 2019 with TheOnlySlash, Lord1 attempted to take it back from them; this ultimately resulted in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
==A Second Modern Metropolis==<br />
<br />
Much of 2019 consisted of ostrich1414 working extensively on his city Yittrium. From its inception in May to the end of the year, Yittrium became ostrich1414's sole project, as he allocated much of his time here. In fact, Yittrium, in many ways, was a sequel to Struthio, ostrich1414's last major city: both Yittrium and Struthio were massive modern metropolises with large, active playerbases, all contributing new buildings every week. However, Yittrium was slowly but surely overtaking Struthio in terms of size, shape, wealth and power - this was ostrich1414's greatest base yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumAtNightOctober2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 himself constructed many of the builds at Yittrium, helping define the city's dense, modern feel. However, the other members of Yittrium were equally as vital to its success: players like AntHand, MoWobbler, [[cheesy_chips22]] and more helped grow and shape the city, especially in terms of its industrial wealth. In fact, Yittrium easily became ostrich1414's richest city: "god sets" were able to be manufactured quickly and efficiently, the iron farm was overflowing, and the raid farm, ostrich1414's first farm at the city, produced lots of Totems of Undying. Furthermore, ostrich1414 was able to secure his first truly successful colony with Yittrium: on October 23rd, 2019, he annexed Dylan_Roof's base [[Coon Town]], a base which gave Yittrium access to much-needed villager trades, two mob farms and a gold farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:CoonTown1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
October 17th - November 18th was a notable period of 2019 for ostrich1414, as he was heavily involved in the religious, ideological crusade known as "[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]]". On October 17th, ostrich1414, on behalf of [[The Order of Wilbur]], declared war on the [[Church of Francis]]; in response, its leader, Lord1, declared war on the Order of Wilbur. This war would easily become the bloodiest, most violent war in SimPvP history, featuring a plethora of large-scale battles and ambushes.<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleOfMonarchia1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the leader of the Order of the Wilbur and the Wilburian Army in general, ostrich1414 organized several of the battles that took place. Most notably, ostrich1414 took part in the Battle of Monarchia, the largest battle in server history to-date: a total of 19 players showed up, with 18 active soldiers fighting altogether. Ostrich1414 was involved with all the battles of the war, except for the last, the Battle of [[Syracusai]]. Nevertheless, he was able to secure several military victories for the Order of Wilbur, getting several kills (and experiencing several deaths as well). The war in itself was not only very violent, seeing active combat regularly, but was also very resource-heavy: at Yittrium, ostrich1414 and his team were forced to manufacture dozens of potions, gear and Totems of Undying for the war effort. This effort payed off, as the Order of Wilbur was successful in several battles, most notably the battles of Java Linsghey, Snowfrog, Monarchia and Syracusai.<br />

<br />
After the Battle of Syracusai, on November 18th, Lord1 officially surrendered to the Order of Wilbur on behalf of the Church of Francis, ending the war and resulting in an Order of Wilbur victory. Later that night, ostrich1414 organized a peace conference and victory celebration in [[Verillium]], reviewing and accepting terms of surrender with Lord1 and celebrating his team's victory with the soldiers who helped achieve it. The Holy-Wilbur Francis War was ostrich1414's second war he had partaken in on the server, but it was easily his most successful and eventful.<br />

<br />
==Postwar Depression==<br />
<br />
While the Holy Wilbur-Francis War had ended in a victory, ostrich1414 would be unaware of just how tense and unpleasant the next few months on SimPvP would be for him and the players around him. Almost immediately after the war's end, another war had begun: the [[Intervention War]], declared by the [[Bloc for Clans]] (which ostrich1414 was in at the time) due to perceived long-term hostilities shown by both the [[Shadow Mcmafia]] and [[The Dominion]]. While the Intervention War would not have massive, organized battles like the war before it, the Intervention War was comprised of a series of smaller PvP battles, skirmishes and terror attacks, making it difficult for players to move around safely. While a member of the BC, ostrich1414 would not take part in this war, remaining neutral due to his friendliness with both belligerents involved in the war. Nonetheless, it killed many of his allies and threatened several of his bases, setting the tone for a tense period of time.<br />
<br />
On December 8th, 2019, due to the Bloc for Clans announcing their plans on annexing [[Ascaris]], ostrich1414 rushed to the city and claimed a large portion of the land for Yittrium in fear that the city would be primarily used for an advantage during the Intervention War, wanting to ensure its safety. Yittrium and the BC both agreed to divide the city in half and share it - unfortunately, a week later, Ascaris would be severely griefed by an unknown player, which many believe to be a consequence of the Intervention War.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ascaris Colonization.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, ostrich1414 had a threat of his own at Yittrium, as the city increasingly become less safe and more unstable. The Shadow Mcmafia had been threatening it for months, but the likelihood of the city being either raided or griefed became a serious topic as the player count increased and the safety and security decreased. By December 2019, Yittrium was entering the stages of a dying city: its members were rarely active, only using it for its abundance of farms. In fact, during this time, between late November and early December, ostrich1414 moved on to a solo project (which quickly grew into a massive multi-player project), establishing [[Craftablia]] on November 23rd. Made up of multiple chunks of crafting tables laid on the ground, many of which were donated by [[SFR]] and Sengorn_Leopard, ostrich1414 utilized Craftablia as an escape from Yittrium, feeling little motivation to build at his home city due to the many reasons mentioned prior. Ultimately, Craftablia would be abandoned as well, and soon discovered by a new player.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ostrich1414 at Craftablia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By late December 2019 - early January 2020, ostrich1414 was growing dissatisfied and depressed with his time on SimPvP. His bases were being active and abandoned, the Intervention War was consuming the efforts of his allies, and he was lacking motivation in general. His long-time portal hub had recently been made public, and the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] had disbanded due to inactivity. At this time, he would assist [[cmlove]] with two bases: first, [[The Foxhole]], which only lasted a few weeks until it was griefed on December 19th, and [[Vulpes Den]], a base he founded with cmlove shortly after the Foxhole was griefed. The two bases shared a common theme, being underground complexes with a nature inspiration - nonetheless, ostrich1414's growing boredom and lack of motivation rendered his activities here unproductive, and he would ultimately leave Vulpes Den soon after.<br />
<br />
[[File:Vulpes Den 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After a few days of inactivity and boredom, ostrich1414 officially left SimPvP for a short hiatus on January 5th, 2020. Needing some time for a break, ostrich1414's hiatus would prove detrimental to his in-game city: that same day, Yittrium was severely raided by [[Byzantium]] due to internal issues they had with fellow member [[TonTheKidRS]], forcing the city's members to abandon it for good. Unaware of this at the time, ostrich1414 assumed that he would not be back for a few months, as his postwar depression made playing on SimPvP a chore, rather than a fun activity.<br />
<br />
During his hiatus, ostrich1414 played a fuckton of Bed Wars on Hypixel.<br />
<br />
==He's Back, Baby!==<br />
<br />
While ostrich1414 was gone, a political dispute unrelated to the ongoing Intervention War was brewing in the city of [[Sigil]], known as [[The Sigil Conflict]]. This issue involved many of ostrich1414's allies, as Lord1, on behalf of the Church of Francis, used a perceived lack of religious freedom to bar Wilburians from certain areas of the city, practically overtaking the city for his own. Tensions reached their climax when Lord1 killed [[nddragoon]] and GummyBearz14, as well as launching an unofficial crusade against the Francillian doubters of Sigil; the base was now unsafe as violence brewed, and the coordinates had been leaked. Ostrich1414, who was repeatedly DM'd on Discord about this, decided it was time to return: on January 17th, 2020, ostrich1414 traveled to Sigil and griefed the Church of Francis temple in retaliation for their actions towards the Wilburians and innocent Sigil civilians. Ostrich1414 then began to attack Lord1 and Cutman as a short battle ensued, although this was later dissolved as an armistice was declared.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the toll this conflict took on the city of Sigil and relations between Lord1 and other BC members, the Sigil Conflict had actually proven to be vital for ostrich1414: it renewed his interest in the server, bringing excitement and thrill back into the game for him.<br />
<br />
This was made even more clear when, literally a day later, [[The Second Siege]] began, also known as "The Hispanic Panic". This was a server-wide event initiated in response to the growing threat that a [[MrCramYT]], a Spanish YouTuber with over 50,000 subscribers, would make a video on SimPvP that would ultimately bring an influx of players online and make the lag and playability even worse than it already was. Thus, despite the many instances of strife and war on the server, everyone unified together despite their differences and began to work together and make spawn impenetrable, ensuring that new players could not leave it. In fact, TheOnlySlash (who had organized the Second Siege) made ostrich1414 a member of the Inner Council of the event, and ostrich1414 played a major role in bringing forth more players to the cause. Ultimately, the Second Siege was successful in stopping MrCramYT from making the video, and the event as a whole became the largest gathering of SimPvP players at one location in server history.<br />
<br />
[[File:Siege II Group 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Once again, ostrich1414 was back and reinvigorated, happy to be playing on SimPvP again after the excitement of mid-January.<br />
<br />
==Return to Form: War and Peace==<br />
<br />
By mid-January, there were still two major issues plaguing ostrich1414: he was both poor and homeless, primarily due to the loss of Yittrium. As such, he decided to establish a brand-new megacity on January 24th, 2020, known as the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], or "Wilburia" for short. Wilburia would be the first official base created specifically by and for the Order of Wilbur, nearly six years after the religion was formed. While Wilburia was originally meant to be a solo project, ostrich1414 later invited a small group of devout Wilburians: [[Zepheron]], cheesy_chips22 and Porkington. The city grew rapidly, constructing a sizable, respectable city square by February 2020.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia February 7.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike Struthio, Florestria or Yittrium before it, Wilburia's strength was its small team. With only four players, three of which were primarily active, Wilburia quickly became one of the wealthiest and most powerful bases on SimPvP. Several skyscrapers, three major megastructures, and high-quality farms ranging from a gold farm, totem farm, and gunpowder farm would be constructed between January and April. Ostrich1414 had finally risen out of the ashes, becoming a wealthy player once more and no longer relying on feeding off of the rotten corpse of Yittrium.<br />
<br />
Of course, the time between January - early-April 2020 had its major incidents. Perhaps the most important event was [[The Byzantium War]], a war which ostrich1414 himself officially declared on February 23rd, 2020. The Byzantium War began way back in January 5th, when the members of Byzantium first raided Yittrium. While ostrich1414 and his former teammates were angered by this, they decided to move on. It wasn't until February when the members of Byzantium began mocking them for it that tensions truly began to rise. [[Passaconaway]] renamed his alt account to "RIPYittrium2020", and later leaked the city's coordiantes on that same account. This incident is what truly sparked the beginnings of the war, leading ostrich1414 to recruit a few loyalists and raid Byzantium's former base, Triterrus, in response.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Raid.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By February 23rd, the war truly picked up. With tensions rising and anger and mockery consuming the chat, ostrich1414 and his allies returned to Triterrus, this time severely and irreparably griefing it. War was immediately declared between Byzantium and "New Israel" (the informal name given to ostrich1414 and his allies), and the Byzantium War would be known as a war of griefing. Not long after the grief of Triterrus, Byzantium would severely grief Yittrium on February 25th, as well as later griefing Antzakes1's invisible base on March 28th. While these three major griefings would mark the severity of the war, no actual battles took place, and fighting was brought to a minimum, leaving much of the war empty and inactive.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, things would soon die down for the Byzantium War. Two major peace conferences took place: the Quinsigamond Peace Conference on February 27th, and the Turtle Beach Peace Conference on March 29th. The first of the two was only between ostrich1414, [[VetoTheNeato]] and Byzantium, but the second was between the major parties of New Israel and Byzantium, bringing the war to an end. It was decided that there would be no "winners" or "losers" of the war, and that all parties would move on peacefully, as well as to forgive each other for the atrocities that occurred. With the Byzantium War now ending, ostrich1414 was a veteran of three wars. While not as violent as the War of Monarchia or the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Byzantium War was the first war where ostrich1414 had truly felt anger and betrayal.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Peace Conference 1.png|400px]] [[File:Peace Conference 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of working on his city Wilburia and partaking in the Byzantium War, ostrich1414 engaged in other activities as well, typically related to diplomatic relations. Ostrich1414 was one of the many participants of the [[Simpvp Summit]] on February 23rd, representing his city Wilburia. He was also forced to confess to the griefing of [[North Koria (Base)]], later reconciling with [[Korijenkins]] at the Struthian-North Korian Peace Summit on February 3rd. In early March, ostrich1414 participated in #WitherWeek at Segoria, assisting his Segorian allies in finally finishing the massive wither skeleton farm they had started in 2018. Ostrich1414 was also a soldier during the very short Second Invasion of [[Lordtopia]] on April 9th, although he was blown up by an end crystal within less than a minute of battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Struthian-North Korian Peace Summit.png|400px]] [[File:WitherWeek.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important moment of January-April 2020 for ostrich1414 was when he became the newest official admin of SimPvP on February 28th, 2020. For many years, Yukarion, DakkaDok and MisterStrawman had been the only admins on the server, but their decreasing activity had led to the pursuit of a new admin. Ostrich1414's vast playtime, experience and activity on SimPvP led him to become a prime candidate, and eventually, led to him becoming the fourth active admin.<br />
<br />
==A Man Both Jaded and Weary==<br />
<br />
As the year 2020 proved to be a chaotic one, ironically both in SimPvP and in real life, ostrich1414 found himself once again growing exhausted and unmotivated. Although the end of the Byzantium War had promised ostrich1414 a new period to focus on his blossoming city, Wilburia, things would not be as pleasant as he originally envisioned. Nonetheless, between April to mid-May, Wilburia became one of ostrich1414's greatest cities to date: a city of high quality, wealth, power, and grandeur. Motivated by the flaws and pitfalls of his previous two megacities, Struthio and Yittrium, the one thing maintaining his interest in SimPvP was the growth of Wilburia.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between April 15th and April 16th, a sudden crisis would occur that once again threatened peace and stability: [[The Stonetown Incident]]. After attempting to annex Stonetown on behalf of Wilburia, primarily due to its historic and religious significance, ostrich1414 was "betrayed" by Porkington after he instead gave the deed to Stonetown to Lord1. Soon after, Lord1 annexed Stonetown and converted it into a Francillian colony -- something ostrich1414 was strongly against due to Stonetown's stance as the base where the Order of Wilbur was founded. This resulted in Wilburia taking back Stonetown, threatening the Francillians, and a back-and-forth ensued: each group would remove the other's decorations and temporarily occupy the land. In fact, this crisis got so heated that it almost led to yet another Holy Wilbur-Francis War, and both sides were gearing for battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, neither ostrich1414 nor Lord1 truly wanted ''another'' war. After attending a peace treaty to ease tensions, ostrich1414 was confronted by a sudden imposing and outlandish questions by Lord1, in which he asked: "Are you CranberryWarrior?" Although this may have seemed like a bizarre question to ask by most players, it was not; ostrich1414 admitted that he was indeed CranberryWarrior, and had been since 2017. Ostrich1414 had been using CranberryWarrior behind-the-scenes as a secret alt account, using it to infiltrate other groups and bases, and to gather information. Some of these groups included [[The Fellowship]], [[Asguard]], North Koria, and Lord1's own Church of Francis. Using CranberryWarrior, ostrich1414 had insided as a loyal Francillian since the summer of 2019; now, in April 2020, he was officially exposed. In return for the distrust he had caused, ostrich1414 gifted Lord1 with the CranberryWarrior account, and Lord1 turned it into a brand-new alt for himself, Lard2.<br />
<br />
[[File:CranberryWarrior Last Words.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
After almost entering yet another war and exposing his secret alt account, the final blow would occur for ostrich1414 that led him to enter a state of hopelessness and non-inspiration on May 6th, 2020. For a few weeks prior, the members of Wilburia, especially ostrich1414 himself, had suspicions that AntHand and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] had access to their city. Unfortunately, these suspicions were revealed to be true: on May 6th, both egnaroky and AntHand showed up to Wilburia in person, declaring that they were incorporating the city into their new "Caudicean Empire". This angered ostrich1414 severely, who felt both betrayed by his allies and sickened that he was losing yet another megacity, his third in a row.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Their city now compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Wilburians abandoned the city entirely, only using it sparingly for farms and resources. Tensions between the Caudices and the rest of the server would only worsen when they proceeded to annex [[Takyon]], Wilburia's sister city which ostrich1414 had very close relations with. In his final act of disobedience against the Caudices, ostrich1414 attended a server party at Takyon on May 8th where dozens of players toured the city one last time before severely griefing it. This also resulted in a minor skirmish between themselves and the Caudices, to no avail.<br />
<br />
[[File:Takyon Party 1.png|400px]] [[File:Takyon Party 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By mid-May, ostrich1414 was jaded, weary, exhausted, and most of all, demotivated. The loss of Wilburia felt more routine than devastating, as he had lost Struthio and Yittrium before it. Ostrich1414 also felt displaced in the new server environment, which became increasingly tense and angry; wars were far more common now, and strife and drama occurred at a much more alarming rate. Needing to take a break from SimPvP for a while, ostrich1414 departed on yet another one of his frequent hiatuses, only logging on periodically for server maintenance, hoping to focus on real life.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, real life sucked too (2020 was kind of a lame year, ngl).<br />
<br />
==Searching for Meaning==<br />
<br />
After the Wilburia incident, ostrich1414 didn't log on for much of May or June, only properly returning to the server in late June. His first major step back into the server life was his brief participation at the Second SimPvP Summit on June 20th, although even this was very short-lived. Ostrich1414 had become severely unmotivated and uninspired, with no main base to his name and no direction. Fortunately, this mentality was somewhat remedied with his induction into [[The Republic]]--a brand new team with the goal of decreasing Lord1's influence on SimPvP, as well as the Church of Francis as a whole. The Republic also aimed to focus on public works projects at and around spawn, improving the environment for all.<br />
<br />
Of course, an entire team largely targetting one player has disastrous effects. On June 23rd, several members of the Republic griefed Two Words, the Church of Francis' primary base. Ostrich1414, while not a part of the grief, was considered a major suspect for leaking it due to his knowledge of the coordinates thanks to CranberryWarrior. The grief, and this rumor, would ultimately lead Lord1 and [[Wawuwiva]] to target and grief ostrich1414's longest-lasting base on SimPvP, Stonetown. That same day, on June 23rd, Stonetown was mercilessly griefed and destroyed, ending its six year lifespan.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although dismayed and saddened by this loss, ostrich1414 urged himself to continue playing on SimPvP and supporting the Republic's endeavors. On July 13th, ostrich1414 began a brand-new solo project: a unique landmark called [[Inferno]]. Inspired by places like Craftablia and [[The Graveyard]], Inferno consisted of a specifically-placed pattern of 3-block-high netherrack pillars, with fire lit on top of each of them, covering an entire landmass. Inferno was constructed with no other goal in mind than creating yet another unique spawn landmark for players to enjoy, and to boost the Republic's image as more of a public works group. Ostrich1414 also participated in another Republic-affiliated public works project, this time assisting 4Pilot and Zepheron in repairing the public end portal area.<br />
<br />
[[File:Inferno 1.png|400px]] [[File:End Boys.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite his lack of motivation to work on yet another base, ostrich1414 was ironically invited to three new bases during this period: Shakatak Mycelia on June 23rd, [[Exultia]] on June 29th, and [[Belgium]] on July 21st. At Shakatak Mycelia, ostrich1414 was inducted into the base's primary team, [[Shakatak]], organized by [[Burger_Malone]]. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would be very inactive here, primarily due to his lack of motivation and skillset required to build in the town's architectural standard. The same would go for Exultia, yet another base ostrich1414 participated at very minimally. In Exultia's case however, the base would not last very long; there was an overwhelming sense of burnout and inactivity within the entire base population, resulting in many members, including ostrich1414, to respectfully drop out near the end of the summer. Of these three bases, Belgium would be ostrich1414's most active participation--although even this was somewhat minimal. Joining the [[North Koria (Clan)]] alongside TheOnlySlash, Korijenkins, and [[HedgehogMind]], ostrich1414 assisted in some large scale projects at Belgium, primarily related to base expansion.<br />
<br />
[[File:ShakOst.png|400px]] [[File:Belgium Crew.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the moment that truly brought ostrich1414 back into the SimPvP mindset, and reintroducing his inspiration to play, was his participation in SKRT, or the Sim Kast Removal Team. Starting on August 23rd, 2020, the Sim Kast Removal Team was founded by the [[GS Trading Co.]] in order to completely renovate and repair spawn after years of abuse, destruction, and lavacasting. Ever since 2019, spawn had been suffocated by intense lavacasts, so the massive organized team of SKRT worked around the clock to dismantle these features using various methods, from TNT dupers to mining to simple TNT placement. Several SKRT members also focused on draining much of the water cubes that had been left over from Operation Moist Boiz I and II, trying to dry out spawn. After only a week of renovation, SKRT's goals were a resounding success: spawn was completely different than it had been before, with much more space around the protected zone. This was the moment where ostrich1414 truly became engaged with the server yet again.<br />
<br />
[[File:SKRT Crew.png|400px]] [[File:Revamped Spawn.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the summer began to dwindle and lead into fall, ostrich1414 became more active on SimPvP and participated in a myriad of smaller events. On August 7th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron became two of the many players to participate in the glitch abuse of [[Dragon Eggs]], each obtaining a dragon egg (although these were later destroyed due to a new ruling). On August 30th, ostrich1414 was also one of the founding members of [[Palau]], a short-lived base that only lasted around 24 minutes before it devolved into the chaotic Massacre of Palau when TheOnlySlash killed Qyburn_ and bedtrapped Paul358.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Zeph Dragon Egg.png|400px]] [[File:Massacre of Palau 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==A Tale of Two Cities==<br />
<br />
While much of ostrich1414's 2020 summer had been characterized by a lack of motivation, disillusionment, and no real sense of purpose as a result of the Wilburia incident, things soon changed by the fall when he joined two brand new cities. In September, ostrich1414 co-founded [[Quabbin]], and in October, he joined [[Void City]]; both of these bases would become his primary sources of focus for the latter half of 2020.<br />
<br />
Quabbin was co-founded by ostrich1441 and AntHand on September 2nd after the two wanted to reunite and find a common ground after Wilburia, using the base as an excuse to warm relations. They were soon joined by egnaroky, MoWobbler, JESUS_warrior69, and cmlove. Much like ostrich1414's previous cities, specifically Struthio and Yittrium, Quabbin became yet another ever-growing megacity characterized by its modern aesthetic. Ostrich1414, once again motivated to build after months, began work on his signature modern cityscape, cultivating a unique skyline with several skyscrapers and farms in a central riverside island known as "Quabbin Center". Around him, the other Quabbin members created their own unique contributions, from MoWobbler's Sphere City to AntHand's Area 69 to cmlove's Zoo Wee Mama.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quabbin November 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
About a month after Quabbin, ostrich1414 formally joined his next base, Void City. Founded by Korijenkins on October 3rd, Void City is notable for being located in the End, and an unofficial expansion of the Belgium team. At Void City, ostrich1414 was also joined by Belgium regulars TheOnlySlash and HedgehogMind, as well as old allies he had not based with in years, including clipchip, JavelinFury, and dariepearjuicy. Void City features a cyberpunk aesthetic, using the End dimension as a juxtaposition for futuristic space-like builds and towers. Much like at Quabbin, ostrich1414 would construct several skyscrapers and farms here, using his knack for modern builds to the city's advantage.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void Citiots.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, Quabbin and Void City were not ostrich1414's only activities during this time. Between September and early December, ostrich1414 engaged in several battles, meet-ups, events, and spawn projects.<br />
<br />
In September, ostrich1414 engaged in two major battles. The first was the [[Battle of Swampland]] on September 15th, a classic Church of Francis versus Order of Wilbur battle, between Lord1, xexc, and [[James8B]] versus ostrich1414, MoWobbler, and [[ElectricChugg]]. While this battle would go on for over an hour, and ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were able to successfully defend themselves, the Order of Wilbur ultimately lost: ElectricChugg had been killed early in the battle, and after an hour or losing resources, the two remaining Wilburians were forced to flee. The second was the Battle of [[Suit's tower]] on September 29th, a spur-of-the-moment battle between Lord1, ostrich1414, and [[_Goujon_]] versus AntHand, Sellout9, and Cutman. Unlike the previous battle, this one was extremely short, with ostrich1414's emerging victorious within minutes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]] [[File:Battle of Suit's Tower.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On October 6th, ostrich1414 and a coalition of other players teamed up to grief [[Azpipia]], a spawn base partially created by Azdin. This was done in response to Azdin's negligent removal of several spawn landmarks, returning them to vanilla Minecraft terrain as if nothing had ever been built there. There were also several parties attended by ostrich1414, including [[Barrier Town]], Wassrïge Hólle Trei, and MoWobbler's Second Annual Halloween Tomb Event at Yittrium. Perhaps the highlight of these player get-togethers was the one year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, where ostrich1414 and several war veterans and Francillians/Wilburians met up in Verillium to reflect on the carnage that had occurred one year ago.<br />
<br />
[[File:Barrier Town 1.png|400px]] [[File:Holy War One Year 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On December 4th, ostrich1414, along with MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]], completed [[Suidae Temple]]: the Order of Wilbur's first major spawn temple. Rising from the depths of the ocean from a 3x3 circular grid, Suidae Temple was the first major act of the Order of Wilbur in months, and a fine addition to their collection of temples.<br />
<br />
[[File:Suidae Temple Shader 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, ostrich1414 participated in what would become one of the most violent, destructive wars in SimPvP history: [[The Imperial War]]. What began as a "larp" war for some soon devolved into an unprecedented arms race of destruction between the Church of Francis and the wartime-exclusive loose collective of players known as the People's Coalition, composed of numerous SimPvP teams united against the COF. While the ambush and murder of Sellout9 and SimCoin in early December 2020 would be the true catalyst for war, many players (including ostrich1414 himself) were growing frustrated with the COF's reign of imperialism and terror, with specific incidents like "Operation Red Terror" leaving a sour taste in their mouths, and the relentless ambushing of unaffiliated players began to wear thin. Ostrich1414 himself had a historic rivalry with the Church of Francis, and was thus propelled into the creation of the People's Coalition to fight against what they saw as a force detrimental to the server. On December 10th, 2020, the People's Coalition officially declared war on the Church of Francis, targeting and griefing two of their spawn bases: Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lakeside Lodge 1.png|400px]] [[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The first half of the Imperial War would largely be characterized by back-and-forth griefs of inactive, yet still prized, PC and COF affiliated bases, as well as various skirmishes and small guerrilla battles in both /world and spawn. The COF would grief some of ostrich1414's own former bases during this time, including [[New Oberstein]], Tol Honeth, and Florestria, as well as other smaller PC-affiliated bases. The PC would strike back, griefing Bitchport, RBC Spawn Base, and [[Swaglabs]]. Of course, much of the true action during this period of the war took place in /world, where countless skirmishes between PC and COF troops took place. While each side of the war had its own strengths and weaknesses, there seemed to be no clear winner in sight yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war, however, proved to be much more detrimental to both the participants on both sides, as well as the server itself. The first major controversy struck when the COF raided and griefed [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first major active base of the war to be targeted. This left countless PC members homeless, enraging them. Soon after, the YMP base Axetown was targeted by the COF. Wartime "battles" would decrease at this time, with fewer and fewer PC-COF combat; several PC members withdrew from the war for personal reasons while the COF attempted to negotiate peace, only to be turned down by the still-furious PC. Eventually, the next major base to fall would be at the hands of the PC on January 11th when they raided and annexed [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main base at the time. While this crippled any hope of an immediate peace, ostrich1414 found himself largely regretting the decision after partaking in it, viewing the ongoing war as an unwinnable vacuum of destruction for both sides simultaneously.<br />
<br />
[[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The last base to be targeted during the war, [[Pepe's Holy Land]], was raided and annexed by the PC shortly before true peace negotiations began to take place. Soldiers on both sides of the war were growing weary and distraught with its outcome; numerous active, impressive bases like GFC and Three Words were falling, and they felt that more were to come if the crisis continued. While the PC had previously rejected the COF's negotiations, they once again attempted to agree to mutual terms by mid-to-late January, with ostrich1414 himself spearheading the peace talks between himself, AntHand, Lord1, Tenced, and CrackyJoe. Finally, after days of negotiating, both the PC and the COF were able to come to an agreement: on January 28th, 2021, the two once-warring teams decided to come together and officially declare peace, ending the Imperial War for good. A small peace conference was held at Gibraltar Castle (one of the first bases to be griefed during the war) where representatives from both sides met and signed treaties. After well over a month of destruction, chaos, and hatred, another major war had ended...yet some tensions remained.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Pain.==<br />
<br />
By the end of the Imperial War, ostrich1414 was at his lowest in terms of lack of motivation, lack of enthusiasm, disillusionment, and irritability. On January 19th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron were forced to grief the dormant remains of Wilburia after it was x-rayed a partially griefed by 39Y. Almost two weeks later, he, and the other members, were forced to abandon Quabbin as the city had become overrun with unaffiliated outsider players gaining access to coordinates, with some likely looking to damage the city as post-war retaliation. Furthermore, AntHand, ostrich1414's long-time ally, was embroiled in a massive controversy regarding the use of a wolf-tracking exploit with which he discovered Three Words, as well as Wilburia a year prior. Yukarion's decision not to punish AntHand left ostrich1414 in an uncomfortable position as an admin, and as a previous Three Words raider. Despite the war being over, ostrich1414 was drained.<br />
<br />
Of course, post-Imperial War life was not all that bad. On February 4th, ostrich1414 was invited to join GS Trading Co.'s main base, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]], which he arrived at after permanently departing from Quabbin. Sternenfall Nochmal was notable for the vast array of high-powered farms it possessed, from withers to obsidian to guardians to gold. However, Sternenfall Nochmal also had a growing urban sector, with many of its members constructing soaring skyscrapers and other city structures. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would never truly build much at Sternenfall Nochmal, instead focusing on his budding map art obsession and assisting with farm-related projects. Ostrich1414 also spent some time at Void City again, finishing his long-dormant wool farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Skuller Sternenfall Nochmal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, ostrich1414's major project during this period of time would be [[Riverwood]]: a small town established specifically for new players, recruiting them and getting them started with gear and materials. Founded by ostrich1414 on February 15th, the town prospered for the next two weeks, housing over a dozen brand new players who contributed to its growing expansion. Largely utilizing Imperial Architecture as its primary build style, Riverwood would become ostrich1414's sole focus for most of February as he assisted many new players in getting them started on the server. Soon afterwards, The Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis decided to use Riverwood as an opportunity to make peace and spread unity, both constructing temples in the town and, for once, living in harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately by March 2021, Riverwood would decline in activity, and so would ostrich1414. His duties as admin had been largely outweighing his regular playtime, and, simply put, he had lost his passion for the server. Upon Riverwood's stagnation, ostrich1414 largely focused on building map arts, assisting others with small projects, or attending the occasional server event. On March 20th, 2021, ostrich1414 would help train MoWobbler as the newest SimPvP admin, a position which ostrich1414 himself pushed for. Ostrich1414 would also host the server's very first [[Map Art Competition]] throughout this month, with voting being held on April 1st. In total, thirteen map arts would be submitted, and forty-seven people would vote, making this competition a huge success. Ostrich1414 himself had even submitted an entry, "Portland Head Light", which came in second place.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Mo Admin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By early April, ostrich1414 was mentally drained. His latest project had been [[Iron Block]], a literal 32x32 floating cube of iron blocks near spawn, built out of boredom. He had been invited to revisit Three Words upon the base's restoration thanks to the [[Base Restoration Policy]], finally making amends with its members, although the incident still haunted him. Furthermore, ostrich1414 had no clear inspiration or ambition to continue with anything else, with his last project on the server being a refurbishment of a public spawn/end spawn portal with [[willowienal]]. On April 6th, 2021, ostrich1414 decided that it was best to take an extended hiatus and return to SimPvP when he was once again motivated and rejuvenated, marking this as yet another entry in his long list of hiatuses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Iron Block 1.png|400px]] [[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Pain.<br />
<br />
==Disillusionment.==<br />
<br />
So uh, that "hiatus" only lasted around a week. Awkward.<br />
<br />
After this week-long break, ostrich1414 would return to SimPvP, feeling slightly more motivated to play than he had prior to his departure. However, he was not as enthusiastic to play the server as he had once been months, or even years ago, and decided to lean in to a more casual approach of playing SimPvP. Around this time, ostrich1414's old ally cheesy_chips22 had finally returned from his own hiatus, and the two instantly reunited as they pondered the idea of starting a new Wilburian base, as they had worked together on Wilburia in 2020. Thus, on April 19th, 2021, the city of [[São Porco]] was officially founded: this would become the newest headquarters for the Order of Wilbur in their goal to reconstruct themselves and become much more active again. Numerous Wilburian members and allies would be invited to the city, including many former Quabbin and GFC members. Unlike many of ostrich1414's other bases, São Porco would embody a Brazilian-inspired theme, featuring tropical villages, favelas, hilly coasts, and cityscape inspired by the likes of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Ostrich1414 himself would assist cheesy_chips22 in the construction of the city's favelas and villages, shying away from his usual modern style and going for a more unique South American rustic influence in building.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco July 23 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Aside from his new project at São Porco, ostrich1414 would focus on more fun and casual events throughout the next few months on SimPvP. The server's 10 year anniversary would arrive on April 23rd, 2021, with ostrich1414 hosting a still-life museum in the events world, showcasing dioramas of many past wars in the server's history. A few days later on May 2nd, 2021, he would also host the Server Party at Quabbin, a follow-up to his previous Server Party at Quinsigamond back in 2018. The party at Quabbin would become one of the largest gatherings of players in server history, with 27 people showing up to the abandoned city of Quabbin (with ostrich1414 public revealing the coordinates for all to access). While the party would largely run smoothly, OperatorUltra's arrival would result in the deaths of a few party guests, including ostrich1414 himself, and a minor battle taking place. Later, on May 5th, ostrich1414 would be invited to the base Dreamscape by SkullerG, a small medieval-inspired village at the world border. Although his activity here would be minor and temporary, he nonetheless managed to construct two buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Server Party at Quabbin Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Server Party at Quabbin 2.png|400px]] [[File:ostrich1414 Dreamscape.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Arguably the most important event during this time period would occur on June 7th, 2021 when, after over two years of being bitter rivals who had been to war twice, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis (then still the Holy States of Francis) officially became allies together. This was a historic peace agreement as both Wilburians and Francillians had been notorious enemies on the server for years, but their post-Imperial War relations had become much more cordial as there proved to be no real benefit to their rivalry in this new era. A large peace summit between the two parties was held as representatives from both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis showed up to discuss terms of peace and alliance, steps for the future, and finally to sign a historic treaty of mutual partnership, with ostrich1414 and Lord1 signing on behalf of their respective parties. Finally, these once-rivals were friends.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COF Summit 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these monumental events, all was not well for ostrich1414. He was once again growing tired of SimPvP; unmotivated, disinterested, and disillusioned. By this point, he was beginning to notice a pattern in his lack of enjoyment for the server he had called "home" for almost seven years now; times have changed, and he was growing more cynical and unhappy. Much of this negativity was directly derived from ostrich1414's position as SimPvP's most active admin, a title he had been privately irritated by for months. Wanting to return to a more casual playstyle free from the stress and responsibilities of adminship, ostrich1414 submitted a two-week's notice to Yukarion in June 2021, and later resigned on July 7th. After serving as an admin for over a year, ostrich1414 had found that the once-coveted title had degraded him down to a shell of his former self. SimPvP was becoming less and less enjoyable, and the increasing toxicity and bitterness raging throughout the server was a major turn-off. Finally a regular player again, ostrich1414 became less active on the server as he focused on smaller projects here and there, from map arts to minor work around São Porco. Still, despite his depressive state worsening, his resignation as admin had lifted a major weight off of his shoulders.<br />
<br />
[[File:ostrich1414 Last Day as Admin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Degredation.==<br />
<br />
As the server further descended into chaotic toxicity and immorality, ostrich1414's own enjoyment of the server would be continuously tested and regressed. Much of this was due to a heated drama brewing within the server, a drama which ostrich1414 would be reluctantly dragged into. By July 22nd, 2021, the Order of Wilbur would forge an official three-part alliance with the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co., establishing the [[G.S.F.W.]] super-alliance. However, the Order of Wilbur's newfound diplomatic association with these two groups would involve it in an increasingly bitter rivalry with YMP; a few weeks earlier, the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co. had griefed Cope Town, a base in which two YMP members lived. However, even earlier than this, YMP had griefed Riverwood, the OOW and COF's joint spawn base. As such, the OOW would be dragged into this conflict, a conflict which would be made official when, on August 23rd, YMP griefed Sternenfall Nochmal--GS Trading Co.'s second main base which ostrich1414 had been a member of--and declared war against all three members of the G.S.F.W. Later that same day, ostrich1414 would participate in the raid and grief of Skyreach in retaliation for Sternenfall Nochmal. Still, despite this, ostrich1414 would participate very little in the ensuing conflict; on behalf of the OOW, he refused to recognize the "war", and even made attempts to stall aggression and even forge friendliness. One of these attempted acts of avoiding war was his peace conference with [[Nikoxlas]], the leader of the [[Confederacy of Man]] (which, at the time, was also at war with the COF), in order to forge an alliance with the OOW and eventually make peace; unfortunately, this attempt failed.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COM Conference.png|400px]] [[File:Skyreach Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the conflict, dubbed "The Big War" by YMP, continued, ostrich1414 attempted to further isolate himself from it, despite his clear affiliation with the G.S.F.W. Still, the drama was inescapable. One of the members of São Porco, [[bruno_vera]], was also a YMP member--a fact that made the rest of the city's members nervous due to YMP's obsession with griefing it. Ostrich1414, like many other São Porco members, felt that the city's demise was inevitable, and thus preferred to take its destruction into their own hands rather than by a rival group like YMP. Thus, on August 28th, ostrich1414 and several other Wilburians self-griefed São Porco after having raided it, preventing YMP from doing any damage to the city. Unfortunately, the worst of the conflict was yet to come; on September 21st, GS Base #3 (GS's main base at the time) was raided and destroyed by YMP after having been leaked by [[Redbaron1991]], prompting much of GS to leave the server or take a hiatus. By this point in time, ostrich1414 had almost completely isolated himself from the conflict, having no interest in the drama or politics at play, and, instead, wishing to be left alone. Still, he was saddened by GS's departure from SimPvP, as he had forged a long-term alliance with them for over a year.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the grief of São Porco and the very destructive conflict with YMP, ostrich1414 would still find time to enjoy himself on SimPvP--with what little enjoyment he had left. On August 21st, along with [[AntiFreezeFluid]], ostrich1414 founded the city of [[Gosnold]], an island base located roughly 7k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the city grew to be massive, and ostrich1414 invited every member of the Order of Wilbur and several members of the COF and GS. For a little over a month, Gosnold would flourish into a huge megacity, complete with skyscrapers, temples, and a massive offshore statue. Of course, due to only being 7k from spawn, ostrich1414 knew that Gosnold would not last very long, and he was proven correct when, on October 1st, it was severely griefed by [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]]. Other than Gosnold, ostrich1414 would also help found the more permanent city of [[New Yittrium]], the direct successor to São Porco. Shortly after self-griefing São Porco, ostrich1414 and a few of its active remaining members--MoWobbler, cheesy_chips22, willowienal, ElectricChugg, and [[GentleGiant69]]--would move to this new city and establish several farms and buildings, quickly replacing what had been destroyed at their previous base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold Boolin.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would begin to decline in activity at both New Yittrium and on the server in general, instead logging on periodically to explore spawn bases or to AFK at farms. With very little interest or incentive to keep playing, ostrich1414 felt that both the server's climate, and his previous enjoyment of it, had been degraded by meaningless conflict. Much like the outcomes of every other SimPvP war, ostrich1414 was once again plunged into a state of disillusionment, although this time, it had been a brewing disillusionment that had reached its climax thanks to the commonality of toxicity and the mass exodus of server regulars. In his eyes, SimPvP was entering another dark age.<br />
<br />
==Things are Looking Up==<br />
<br />
By mid October 2021, ostrich1414 felt that both he, and the server at large, where in one of its lowest points in history. Sick of the drama, toxicity, hatred, and disgust that was running amok on SimPvP, ostrich1414 felt that it was finally time for a change in scenery. On October 17th, he and willoweinal would discover the server Uneasy Vanilla, a semi-anarchy Minecraft server very similar to SimPvP, but with a much friendlier community than what SimPvP had at the time. Immediately falling in love with the server, ostrich1414 would slowly invite more and more SimPvP players to Uneasy Vanilla, building up a large group known as the "Dirty Moss Boys", establishing several bases, and forming relations with many UV regulars. However, after playing on UV for a month, an incident would occur at ostrich1414's main base when the server's admin unlawfully removed their obsidian farm; this severe act of blatant admin abuse angered him and his basemates, and they soon returned to SimPvP by mid November 2021.<br />
<br />
By the time ostrich1414 had returned from his month-long break, some things had changed. One of the players most responsible for the server's hostile toxicity had been jailed, and the conflict between YMP and the G.S.F.W. had largely ended. Furthermore, ostrich1414's experience with blatant admin abuse on UV made him realize that SimPvP was truly the server for him, and he once again became motivated to regularly play. This time, however, ostrich1414 would make a vow of relative neutrality; the conflict with YMP had severely demoralized him, and he did not wish to repeat it again. Instead, ostrich1414 made it his goal to focus on rebuilding and rebranding the Order of Wilbur, which had also suffered from the conflict. Deciding they wanted to instead focus on building, especially spawn projects, ostrich1414 and GentleGiant69 devised a plan to construct massive obsidian statues using their large reserve of obsidian at New Yittrium. Thus, the Order of Wilbur's first obsidian statue would be that of a T-rex on November 23rd; a day later, they would construct the [[Snail]], a massive obsidian snail near spawn. The Snail in particular would become one of the defining moments of the Order of Wilbur's reformation, and the project drew dozens of players to help aid in its construction. The Snail would be completed roughly two days later, consisting of 177,000 blocks of solid obsidian. Although the large project drew its fair share of conflict--including a few battles and an eventual lavacast--the Snail was nonetheless a success in terms of spwan projects, and the beginning of both ostrich1414 and the OOW's return to form.<br />
<br />
[[File:T-Rex Statue.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 1.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the OOW grew, adding more members and emphasizing a focus on spawn work, ostrich1414 also found himself starting a new base that would be handled by the group. On November 27th, several players that ostrich1414 had met on Uneasy Vanilla joined SimPvP, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Alongside [[LidGuy]], ostrich1414 brought them far out to a new location, where they eventually settled and founded the city of [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become a unique base, with its membership mostly composed of players who had played Uneasy Vanilla for some significant time; it soon became an affiliate base of the Order of Wilbur, and several other Wilburians were invited to join. Pangaea would flourish throughout the next few months, featuring a series of diverse styles of architecture and builds, from modern skyscrapers to medieval villages to rustic cabins to industrial farms. Ostrich1414 himself would invest heavily into Pangaea, constructing three skyscrapers and also building a sugar cane farm and a blaze farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pangaea Skyline January 29.png|400px]] [[File:Chilling in Villager Hall.png|400px]] [[File:Gonmoose at Pangaea 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By December 2021, [[Laztec]]--the OOW's most recent member at the time--would propose the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign, in which he aimed to clean up and repair much of spawn through a variety of different methods. Ostrich1414 personally loved this idea, and felt that their first course of action should be the removal of spawn's excessive water flooding. Thus, the two began to pull together a team of players dedicated to removing spawn's laggy water, with Laztec constructing numerous flying machines capable of removing large amounts of water at once. By mid December, the MSGA had managed to remove a massive section of water at spawn thanks to these efforts.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between December 2021 and January 2022, ostrich1414's newfound lifestyle of peace and neutrality, emphasized by his focus on OOW projects, had led him to enjoy SimPvP more than he had months prior. On January 4th, 2022, the Order of Wilbur officially left the G.S.F.W. in order to focus on its new commitment to neutrality; only a few days later, both [[jake276493]] and [[MrNutInYourButt]] were jailed and banned for x-raying, removing the little conflict remaining for ostrich1414 and his group. Finally, it felt like things were looking up: the OOW was flourishing, and ostrich1414 was enjoying his time on the server, focusing on building up both Pangaea and New Yittrium, as well as the occasional spawn project with the OOW. SimPvP as a whole was also become far less toxic and dramatic than it had been before his month-long break, and, to ostrich1414, this felt like the beginning of a new era of harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:SimPvP New Year's Day 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Wholesome: 100==<br />
<br />
The first five months of 2022 quickly proved to be one of the most enjoyable periods of SimPvP for ostrich1414 in recent memory, thanks to the relatively peaceful state the server was in. During this time, ostrich1414 focused primarily on the growth and reformation of the Order of Wilbur, adding new members to the group and expanding its list of projects, from community work at spawn to base building. Ostrich1414 would once again assist Laztec with his MSGA campaign, helping to finish remove the massive water cube at spawn and destroy the many lavacasts at spawn using recently re-enabled TNT duping, as well as destroy the lavacast around the Snail and replacing it with a protective water cube. Furthermore, alongside TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22, ostrich1414 focused on establishing and expanding the Stonetown Memorial Hub, the OOW's private portal hub that features links to many old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. This project would persist over the course of several months, starting in January, with ostrich1414 adding new rooms and one-way portal links while TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22 helped him decorate.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Water Removal Squad.png|400px]] [[File:Snail Cast Removal Team.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Memorial Hub.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 was also increasingly more active at his bases during early 2022, slowly regaining his motivation to build again after over a year of losing it. At New Yittrium, ostrich1414 focused on a project in which he flattened an entire savannah biome to one single y-level, then placing smooth stone slabs all over it. Inspired by the clear-cut borders of the location, ostrich1414 announced that his district at the base would become its own fully-independent, sovereign city-state known as the Republic of Wachusett. This sudden change soon inspired the rest of New Yittrium to do the same, with everyone establishing their own independent city-states and defining the international borders that separated them. This change to the base proved so great, in fact, that the members of New Yittrium decided to change its name to "Civitrium"; now, "New Yittrium" was just the name of MoWobbler's city-state, whereas "Civitrium" was the base as a whole. All the while, ostrich1414 would work on his own city-state, Wachusett, spending most of his time slabbing the flattened savannah and laying the groundwork for a new city atop it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Civitrium Gang February.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, he was also somewhat active at both Void City and Pangaea's successor, [[Kinabalu]]. At Void City, ostrich1414 would build for the first time in over a year, constructing a small apartment building originally designed by Korijenkins. Meanwhile, at Kinabalu, ostrich1414 would construct another one of his famous skyscrapers. Although his activity at Kinabalu would not be as great as at Civitrium's during this time, ostrich1414 had played a major role in founding the city back in February 2022, shortly after the abandonment of Pangaea due to poor security. Kinabalu, nonetheless, would flourish thanks to its many other active members, as would Void City, gaining a boost in building by April 2022.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void City April 9th.png|400px]] [[File:Early Kinabalu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Around this time, ostrich1414 would once again become majorly interested in basehunting, and spent much of April and May 2022 basehunting around the greater spawn region. In fact, much of the OOW was inspired to do the same, and the group had several large basehunting expeditions together. Ostrich1414 and his crew of basehunting Wilburians managed to discover many unique bases during this time, several of which had not been discovered yet. In fact, the Stonetown Memorial Hub that ostrich1414 had been working on would serve as a transportation / storage hub for particular basehunting endeavors.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Basehunting 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW Basehunting 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important event that would occur for ostrich1414 during this time was his reinstatement as admin on April 1st. Although he had originally not planned to ever return as admin again, he was persuaded to try once more by the other SimPvP admins, especially due to his difficulty of running the 2022 Map Art Competition as a non-admin. Nevertheless, the second-annual competition would once again prove to be a success, with eleven map arts being submitted in total and forty-four players coming to vote. Like last time, ostrich1414 would submit his own map art, ''Jules Winnfield'', which came in fourth place. Although ostrich1414 had strongly disliked being admin before, he found himself enjoying it far more this time, primarily due to the more "chill" atmosphere on SimPvP.<br />
<br />
[[File:2022 Map Art Competition Winners.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with a renewed love for SimPvP thanks to the friendlier environment, ostrich1414 found himself participating in several community events. He, along with several other Wilburians, were invited to the "3rd International Lord1 Day" on February 28th, hosted by the Church of Francis. He also aided GS Trading Co. with their removal of the lavacasts at end spawn, helping SkullerG hand-mine many of the lavacasts there over the course of a few months. He even took part in the small community spawn project run by SkullerG, known as "Fartopia", on May 6th. While ostrich1414 was far from being fully active and motivated, he was nonetheless enjoying SimPvP far more than he had in months, and was finally having fun again after nearly two years of server depression. It was truly Wholesome: 100 epic sauce fortnite Keanu Reeves (sorry).<br />
<br />

<br />
==Relapse into Stagnation==<br />
<br />
Although 2022 had been a significantly more enjoyable year for ostrich1414 overall, he once again found himself slipping into inactivity by the summer, an inactivity that only increased by the fall. While this inactivity was due to real life responsibilities rather than a disillusionment with SimPvP, it nonetheless resulted in a much slower decline in activity for ostrich1414. Still, he found himself partaking in many server events, particularly alongside the Order of Wilbur.<br />
<br />
July 2022 would be both ostrich1414 and the OOW's most important month of that summer. On July 10th, both ostrich1414 and Laztec founded [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's latest spawn base. Thanks to changes in build depth and terrain generation brought on by SimPvP's transition to 1.18, the group was able to build underneath bedrock at y=0 to create a floating base in the void, something that was not possible before. Shortly after its founding, numerous other Wilburians joined and Shadow Grove grew to become a modest, yet beautifully unique base. It would also take credit as the host the OOW's most important event of the year.<br />
<br />

<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur officially celebrated its eight year anniversary, something it had been unable to do a year prior. The celebration occurred in two parts: first, all OOW members met in Stonetown, alongside their Church of Francis allies, to exchange gifts and partake in events. Second, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where they hosted an OOW-exclusive celebration. Ostrich1414 would gift each member an individualized, handwritten book, thanking them for all their help in growing the clan, and for making 2022 its best year yet. Afterwards, ostrich1414 and several other members would move on to the build server, where they partook in helping [[Nebuelaz]] test his upcoming event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]]. Having successfully founded and run an eight year old clan, ostrich1414 was truly satisfied to see how far the OOW had come, with this celebration being a highlight of his year.<br />

<br />
Despite the promising start of the summer, ostrich1414 soon fell into a period of stagnation, characterized by a new lack of motivation and inactivity. This time, however, it was not brought on by server drama or toxicity, but a general sense of disinterest in SimPvP, and real life responsibilities. Still, ostrich1414 made time for the server, finding himself participating in community events and projects here and there. Ostrich1414 would aid Laztec in his latest spawn effort, a large obsidian structure known as Terabyte, in early August. Alongside several other Wilburians, ostrich1414 helped place obsidian to produce yet another magnificent obsidian build. Later, on August 17th, ostrich1414 would surprisingly join GS Trading Co.'s new base, [[Wasted Disk Space (WDS)]], after being brought there at random by SkullerG (although he would not be active here for the rest of the year). He would also attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration within the Church of Francis, joining as a Wilburian diplomat.<br />
<br />

<br />
From September to October, however, ostrich1414 was relatively inactive. At most, he would help out around his three main bases--Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City--and run the OOW behind the scenes. Aside from minor work here and there at these bases, ostrich1414 had a decline in interest, and less time, during these months. It wasn't until November when he would enter a month-long hiatus, not returning to SimPvP until early December. Ironically, this hiatus helped spark a renewed interest within him: ostrich1414 would find himself aiding [[dacegod863]] with his revitalization efforts at [[Fern Springs]], an abandoned OOW base that ostrich1414 himself had founded with TuataraBoots back in March 2022. Still, while things were going much better for ostrich1414, his interest in SimPvP had been steadily waning, only seeing him participate in major server events and projects.<br />

<br />
Ostrich1414 was a player and former admin who joined the server on December 27th, 2013. He was noteworthy for being the server's only black player and one of its most frequent AFK players, as well as a dedicated Masshole and cynical shitposter with a self-deprecation problem.<br />
<br />
On October 16th, 2023, ostrich1414 would intentionally build and use a carpet duping machine in order to quit the server; he was subsequently jailed for duping and demoted. He has NOT regretted this decision one bit!<br />
<br />
Whatever you do, ''do not'' type /age ostrich1414 on SimPvP!<br />
<br />
=History=<br />
<br />
==The Worst Mistake I've Ever Made==<br />
<br />
On the cold, snowy day of December 27th, 2013, player ostrich1414 logged onto SimPvP with his friend PlayaSwoop9. Looking for a vanilla server to grief and destroy people's work, the two headed away from the mangled mess of [[Spawn]], but didn't get far; they both died various times due to lack of food.<br />
<br />
At the time, ostrich1414 and PlayaSwoop9 were noobs and had no idea how to play Minecraft at all; they had both just recently gotten the game for the first time.<br />
<br />
However, a miracle would soon arrive: [[DeflowVesper]], an admin, helped lead the two noobs to safety, bringing them to [[Castle Snowfrog]] where they indulged in hundreds of melons and built a small, cobblestone cube to live in within the castle's grounds.<br />
<br />
[[File:CS2018.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
PlayaSwoop9 later left the server and never returned, unimpressed by it. Ostrich1414, however, took a liking to it and stuck around Castle Snowfrog for a few weeks. Here, he developed a small friendship with snowfrog43 and helped to maintain the castle by farming and simply cleaning it up a bit.<br />
<br />
==Alliance with Pippenger==<br />
<br />
One day while in Castle Snowfrog, ostrich1414 began a conversation in the chat with a player named [[Pippenger]]. After talking for a few hours, where he educated ostrich1414 on Minecraft basics, Pippenger invited him to a base he was currently working on, known simply as "[[The Stomping Ground]]". Ostrich1414 traveled there and met up with Pippenger, who was working on the base alongside [[Mr._Hole_Digger]]. Construction on the base began around January 2014.<br />
<br />
Pippenger was very kind to ostrich1414, giving him the freedom to build whatever he wanted and a limitless supply of tools and materials for his creations. With these, ostrich1414 built a shitty house on the edge of a bay: his first "major" build on the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:SGI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Early that same year, ostrich1414 collaborated with pippenger once again, as well as Cdnam5, as they built [[Uinia]], a large castle near spawn; they also founded "The Noobtree Foundation", a short-lived organization dedicated to assisting new players and repairing spawn.<br />
<br />
[[File:UiniaIII.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==A Journey of Self==<br />
<br />
When The Stomping Ground began to dissolve and Uinia was completed, and work in general was slowed to an abrupt end, Pippenger left to tend to other bases while ostrich1414 decided to set out on his own. He eventually landed on a small island nearby spawn, where he constructed yet another shitty, unfinished cobblestone house. He stayed on this island for a short time, working on his appalling base by himself. The remnants of this base can still be seen today at x=13166 z=1795.<br />
<br />
While here, Pippenger asked him yet again to join his newest base: [[Stonetown]]. Ostrich1414 was eager to come and help and immediately departed from his island base, heading towards Stonetown.<br />
<br />
==Stonetown, Wilbur, and His Brief Hiatus==<br />
<br />
At Stonetown, ostrich1414 was able to grow into a much better player and builder. At this time, around early to mid-2014, ostrich1414 helped in the construction of a small town outside of a massive dome made out of dirt and covered in trees; using Pippenger's [[Imperial Architecture]], ostrich1414 was able to strengthen his building skills and constructed many of the town's buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014, ostrich1414 attempted to get the achievement "When Pigs Fly". He was trying to complete many of the existing Minecraft achievements and this seemed like one he could easily do. Grabbing a pig, whom he named "[[Wilbur]]", ostrich1414 headed to the top of the tree dome and climbed on top of Wilbur. The two fell to their death and all that remained was Wilbur's saddle and the carrot-on-a-stick. The brutal murder of Wilbur sparked outrage throughout the server, and a memorial was constructed in both Stonetown and in /world by ostrich1414. A secret cult, known as "[[The Order of Wilbur]]", was later established, and its headquarters remained in Stonetown. Not much is known about this secretive organization.<br />
<br />
When construction in Stonetown began to slow down and its members moved on to other things, ostrich1414 went on a brief hiatus, unsure if he would ever rejoin again.<br />
<br />
==He's Back! (feat. Hiatus, Part II)==<br />
<br />
In early 2015, ostrich1414 rejoined SimPvP. Pippenger, ever so kind to him, invited ostrich1414 to his newest base: [[Virunum]]. Ostrich1414 made the long journey there, eager to reunite with his former teammates and begin work on a brand-new base, possibly the biggest one yet. He eventually landed in a small village suburb just outside of the planned city's location; this village was a walled-in area made predominantly out of granite blocks. Here, ostrich1414 stayed as he prepared himself for the next big build.<br />
<br />
While at Virunum, ostrich1414 only ever completed one building, the shitty house shown below:<br />
<br />
[[File:Ostrich1414sHouse.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
It wasn't long before ostrich1414 went on hiatus yet again. However, unlike before, this was a much longer hiatus: he left the server in mid-2015 and did not return until January of 2017. During his absence, ostrich1414 fucked nine million bitches and snorted 57 lines of cocaine daily.<br />
<br />
==A New Era of ostrich1414==<br />
<br />
In January of 2017, ostrich1414 finally returned to the server. He came to realize that he had missed a lot of things: a major war, the building (and griefing) of Virunum, and even Pippenger's official retirement from the game. Determined to stay put on the server and leave an impact on it, ostrich1414 returned to Stonetown briefly to get back in shape for playing yet again. Reuniting with old friends and explaining his desire to stay, ostrich1414 set out, yet again, on a journey to build a new base.<br />
<br />
He later settled on a fair-sized Mushroom Island biome in the middle of the ocean. As he set up base there, he recruited [[Z33VN]] to come and help him construct this new base: a base built in the honor of Pippenger, using his signature Imperial Architecture style. This base, known as "[[Quinsigamond]]", grew very quickly as ostrich1414 recruited his longtime ally and friend [[JavelinFury]], as well as players Elystriana and KellyEKelly. Quinsigamond eventually became a hub of history, serving as an exhibition to the hard work and dedication that the longtime players of SimPvP have contributed to the server; this city became a living memorial to these players and their history.<br />
<br />
[[File:QuinsigamondSkyline.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Creating a Capital==<br />
<br />
After Quinsigamond's completion, ostrich1414 and JavelinFury began their newest project: a massive city known as "[[Monarchia]]". Monarchia was to become the capital city for the Remembrance, a new clan founded by the two themselves. The goal of this clan was to preserve and protect SimPvP's rich history and culture, and it was understood that this team of players needed a much larger city to headquarter their efforts. Joined by their close ally [[clipchip]], the three began to work on Monarchia as they prepared to establish a capital for the server's newest clan and a much larger city, made up of various distinct districts; this was ostrich1414's largest project to date, and it was this moment when he realized that, despite Pippenger's departure from the server, maybe he was capable of reclaiming this former glory and establishing an empire of his own. With Quinsigamond complete, the Remembrance growing, and Monarchia in the works ostrich1414 was becoming more involved in the society of the server than ever before.<br />
<br />
[[File:MonarchiaSkyline2017.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The United Alliance==<br />
<br />
In June of 2017, ostrich1414 received a surprise when Pippenger, using his alt [[Porkington]], returned to the server after a long hiatus (one that even rivals ostrich1414's). This event, as well as several other minor factors, prompted ostrich1414 and JavelinFury to fully reform the Remembrance and shift its focus and organization. This change saw the creation of the [[United Alliance]], a new clan which put ostrich1414 as its leader. The United Alliance, or UA, grew very quickly as new recruits were taken in almost daily and a surplus of bases were gained under its control throughout the server. Ostrich1414, who had never been the leader of such a large clan before, quickly felt the pressure and was forced to curb his dictatorial urges of authority and genocide. Meanwhile, he would focus on infrastructure, recruitment, and community production as he attempted to mirror the image of his mentor, Pippenger.<br />
<br />
==The War of Monarchia and Surrender==<br />
Though the next few months of the UA's existence were very progressive and bountiful, reaching its peak membership and involved with a vast assortment of affiliated bases, things began to turn sour when clipchip officially left the UA on August 22nd, 2017. Tensions between him and the UA only worsened, and he soon established "Clipiiii's Gang" following his departure.<br />
<br />
[[File:WarOfMonarchia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
From September 27th, 2017 to October 6th, 2017, the United Alliance and Clipiiii's Gang were engaged in a war fought entirely on Monarchia, known as the [[War of Monarchia]]. The war was declared by ostrich1414 himself after several acts of aggression from clipchip, who threatened the UA's progression and Monarchia's sovereignty. Though the war resulted in multiple deaths and an array of damage and destruction, it ultimately ended in peace as ostrich1414 officially surrendered to Clipiiii's Gang on October 6th, ending the War of Monarchia.<br />
<br />
After this date, ostrich1414 formally resigned from his position as Leader of the United Alliance and gave full control of the organization to clipchip, who later used its foundations to establish a new, modified clan, [[The Royal Allegiance]]. Under this treaty, clipchip had also gained control of all of the UA's bases, including ostrich1414's creations, Quinsigamond and Monarchia. The war and its results took a deep toll on ostrich1414 as he soon became semi-active and would tend to AFK frequently, though clipchip still allowed him to build in Monarchia and other such bases under the title of his personal indentured servant.<br />
<br />
==A New League==<br />
<br />
Secretly, behind the scenes, ostrich1414 and his close ally Porkington had been plotting the results of the War of Monarchia all along: after ostrich1414 resigned from the United Alliance and gave control over to clipchip, ostrich1414 and Porkington would move onto a new base as they began to plan a new clan of their own. Under the guise of being an RA member, ostrich1414 and Porkington began to work together on their new base, "[[Estevez]]", or "Vez" for short: a massive underground complex consisting of various farms, domes and halls, beginning in October of 2017. The two eventually recruited [[Master_Xybot]], their fellow ally and former UA member, and the three worked tirelessly on Estevez as they began secretly plotting theirs.<br />
<br />
[[File:EstevezDome.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the midst of construction at Estevez, ostrich1414 founded another newer base for the team, named [[Struthio]]. Though much smaller in size than Estevez, Struthio was unique as it was a small coastal savannah town consisting entirely of acacia wood and stone brick, and the town's layout itself was modeled after ostrich1414's own Quinsigamond due to its congestion in such a small land area. Struthio also contained various villager farms nearby, as well as the later Hall of Vatlos, a colossal structure which ostrich1414 and Porkington began work on in December 2017.<br />
<br />
[[File:DowntownStruthio.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 also began to work around spawn more frequently this time, taking part in much smaller bases, including [[Oberstein]] and [[Grasstle]]. These bases came with the sole intent to spread the team's influence near spawn and to draw new players and prepare them for their career in the server, hoping to breed a new generation of SimPvP players and teammates. Using his alt OstrichsGayAlt at Oberstein and frequently visiting Grasstle to assist newcomers, ostrich1414 made it a new goal of his to reach out to new players and give them hope, reminiscent of his mission while in the UA.<br />
<br />
[[File:Oberstein1.png|400px]] [[File:GrasstleOverview.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On January 5th, 2018, the three co-founders finally decided on a team name: [[The League]]. After announcing this publicly to the server, all three players officially withdrew from the Royal Allegiance, and ostrich1414 was finally able to focus solely on his work for the League, no longer being secretive or suspicious.<br />
<br />
==Times of Turbulence==<br />
<br />
Upon withdrawing from the RA, ostrich1414 and his League companions drew much controversy and criticism from their former RA allies, who were furious that they left. This anger was especially garnered by JavelinFury and clipchip, who openly denounced the League various times. Z33VN, Quinsigamond's co-founder, was also furious upon ostrich1414's departure. Despite this, ostrich1414 maintained his status as an active member of the League, working on various team projects, all the while attempting to mend the fractured relationship between him and his RA allies.<br />
<br />
On January 19th, 2018, Quinsigamond suffered from a minor griefing incident in which one of the city's main towers was covered in lava. Though there was very little damage and the griefing was far from destructive, it still sent a warning to ostrich1414 that one of his former allies may be after him, especially one who had access to Quinsigamond. Although he was unable to discover the culprit behind the act, clipchip and Z33VN were seen as the prime suspects, though both have denied participating in the incident. Despite this, all players saw the griefing as a response to the formation of the League and ostrich1414's departure from the RA.<br />
<br />
[[File:QuinsiGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the next two months that followed, war appeared to be imminent as [[The Cold War]] commenced. The League and the Royal Allegiance were rarely on good terms, and the two teams barely cooperated or respected each other. Both JavelinFury and clipchip claimed to have discovered Pippenger's city [[Ascaris]], which severely lowered the League's morale and struck fear among many, especially ostrich1414 and Pippenger himself. Later on, the RA city of Monarchia was severely griefed and looted by an unknown player, and the act was denounced by both teams; however, as no one knew who conducted the griefing, players from both teams attempted to frame each other in order to favor themselves. Coupled with these events, the RA frequently claimed to be constructing weapons of mass destruction which would destroy the League, and the League would also make threats, expressing a desire to cripple the already-declining RA.<br />
<br />
By mid-March 2018, nothing major seemed to occur, a war was never declared. Ostrich1414, due to increased boredom, disinterest, and "IRL" obligations, as well as fear and anxiety on the server, began to play less and less, logging on very infrequently and AFK-ing more than playing. His last major project on the server before his frequent inactivity was the city of [[Majula]], which he constructed with Porkington, [[Sir_Phenhex]] and CranberryWarrior. However, this did not last very long, and ostrich1414 began to severely decline in activity, possibly hinting at a third hiatus from the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:Majula1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Taking it Easy==<br />
<br />
After abandoning Majula in March due to a suspected infiltration, as well as dealing with other issues in real life, ostrich1414's inactivity turned to a (very) short hiatus. From mid-March to late-June 2018, as the Cold War reached its end, ostrich1414 failed to return to the server and remained inactive. However, by late June, ostrich1414 had once again returned, this time with the goal of "taking it easy". Rather than returning with a "boom" like he had the last time he returned from a hiatus, ostrich1414 decided to focus on helping others, rather than himself.<br />
<br />
Around late June, ostrich1414 invited [[Sengorn_Leopard]], a new ally of his and pippenger's, to Quinsigamond. From Quinsigamond, ostrich1414 then transferred Sengorn_Leopard to Struthio, where he remained for a longer period of time. Ostrich1414 became a mentor-of-sorts to Sengorn_Leopard, briefing him on the culture and history of SimPvP that he had come to learn and love. Though Struthio had remained stagnant for months, Sengorn-Leopard's arrival revived it, and the base once again flourished with new projects and architecture.<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 was eventually invited to join the base [[Java Linsghey]] in July 2018; here, he assisted his longtime allies, such as JavelinFury, clipchip, and [[MisterStrawman]], among others. Ostrich1414 built the [[Get Clip A Girlfriend]] National Headquarters, providing the organization he had founded in 2017 with a legitimate physical office. However, ostrich1414 was not as regularly active at Java Linsghey as he was at previous bases, and it soon fell relatively stale. Because of this, shortly thereafter, ostrich1414 was invited to yet another base, this time [[Tol Honeth]], by JavelinFury and clipchip once again in August 2018. Though he was becoming immersed in the server's current events once more, he failed to be as active or as aggressive as he once was, and decided that it was time to enjoy the moments while they lasted.<br />
<br />
[[File:JavaLinsgheySkyline.png|400px]] [[File:TolHoneth1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414's Renaissance==<br />
<br />
By late-August 2018, ostrich1414 had shifted most of his focus onto Struthio, the small coastal town he had founded with the League. Though he had largely abandoned it since early 2018 due to his hiatus, he gained a renewed interest in it due to Sengorn_Leopard's arrival. Here, Sengorn_Leopard began constructing a large, complex structure known as "Aether Tower", which promptly turned his "temporary" stay at Struthio into a permanent one. Sengorn-Leopard's interest in building up Struthio greatly influenced ostrich1414, who worked alongside him as the two added many new buildings and farms to the city. Thus, this became the beginning of Struthio's Renaissance, the rebirth of the previously neglected base, which witnessed a massive growth of its peninsula area. Porkington and ostrich1414 also completed the Hall of Vatlos, having put it on hold prior to Struthio's Renaissance.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioNewI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Much of this rebuilding of Struthio came as a response to pippenger's own desire to greatly expand his base [[Ascaris]], claiming it to be the largest, most vast city on SimPvP. Thus, ostrich1414, Sengorn_Leopard and pippenger entered a friendly competition with each other as both Struthio and Ascaris tried to outgrow the other in terms of size and complexity, a rivalry jokingly referred to as the beginning of "The Vast Age".<br />
<br />
On September 28th, 2018, ostrich1414 officially announced his departure from the League, with himself and Porkington later deciding to disband the team altogether. As ostrich1414 wanted to solely focus on Struthio, and pippenger on Ascaris, with the team itself becoming largely dormant and irrelevant, the two decided that there was no logical reason to continue the League's goals and objectives, but, rather, to remain teamless and focus on expanding SimPvP's existing bases.<br />
<br />
Not long after, in October 2018, ostrich1414 and Porkington continued their expansion of Oberstein, their mountainous town near spawn. This was done in anticipation of the 2018 version of the spawn map (found here: [https://simplicitypvp.net/maps/#simpvp2018/0/3/0/0/64]), which was set to release the following month in November. Along with greatly increasing Oberstein's size, the two also collaborated on [[Glowstone Tower]], a massive nearby tower that reached up to the height limit.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Adjusting to an Ever-Changing Landscape==<br />
<br />
On November 1st, 2018, ostrich1414 hosted the first-ever [[Server Party at Quinsigamond]], an event that would soon become infamous. After making Quinsigamond a public base that same day, releasing coordinates for all to access and connecting it to the nether highway, he hosted a party at the city, prompting ten other players to join him in celebration. However, things soon went awry when [[Sellout9]], one of the guests, began mercilessly attacking some of the players. An all-out massacre soon arose as all players began fighting each other, resulting in many deaths and lost valuables. Quinsigamond itself was affected, with some of the city destroyed and in ruins, as well as looted and raided. Nevertheless, Quinsigamond still stands today, open to the public, and the memory of the crazy event of the Server Party became a highlight of the year.<br />
<br />
[[File:SPQ2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
When 1.13 came around in mid-November, things changed forever as SimPvP was altered in many ways. The server became much laggier and slower, and dozens of farms were destroyed and/or modified. This would eventually result in a full-scale upgrade, forcing the server's admin [[Yukarion]] to create a temporary map as the main map updated in the background. On the temporary map, beginning on December 5th, 2018, ostrich1414 started from scratch and soon formed an alliance and base of operations with other players. Here, ostrich1414, along with these teammates, launched an all-out war against all pro-phantomers (those who supported the addition of phantoms in 1.13) loosely referred to as "The Phantom Wars". All pro-phantomer bases and players were griefed and killed respectively, resulting in ostrich1414's own base being destroyed in response by them. Once the main map returned on December 11th, this was later resolved peacefully.<br />
<br />
[[File:PhantomWars.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
1.13's updates and the close to 2018 brought many changes to SimPvP and ostrich1414 as a whole, especially regarding Struthio, his main base of focus. Ostrich1414 had invited new players to join the city, all the while watching it quickly grow as Struthio's Renaissance continued. 1.13 had destroyed a few of Struthio's farms, forcing them to redo many of them; the greatest example of this is the destruction of Struthio's first wither farm, forcing the players to begin construction on a new farm, resulting in the second iteration becoming much larger and more complex. Struthio's emergence as a power-player within the server's politics and social climate was also becoming apparent, and ostrich1414's presence as the city founder and a forefront player allowed him to sway many of the decisions occurring there. Many of these decisions included the annexation and colonization of [[Bapadia]] on November 9th, 2018, a focus on mentoring new players and giving them positions, and attempting to strengthen alliances with other players in an attempt to build prominence.<br />
<br />
[[File:COB2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==An Explosive Growth==<br />
<br />
As SimPvP entered 2019, ostrich1414 found himself in the midst of a massively-changing culture and community: by January alone, the player count had nearly doubled, and dozens of new players were joining, more than the server had seen in a long time. Ostrich1414 recognized this change in server popularity and decided to utilize it for himself; on January 18th, 2019, ostrich1414 would perpetrate the first major event of the year: the Takeover of [[Fort Cranberry]]. Ostrich1414 annexed and colonized Fort Cranberry for Struthio, much like he did for Bapadia, and placed [[talksalot011]] and AaronRC93 in charge of the colony. Furthermore, he ordered several new players living at the fort to place kill its owner, [[CranberryWarrior]], on sight. What resulted were a series of battles between CranberryWarrior and ostrich1414's colonial army, ultimately resulting in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:FC2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, things would soon sour as a group of griefers, known as #TeamYMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]], joined the server in an attempt to launch various griefing and raiding campaigns on its many spawn bases. The first of these campaign's were YMP's raid on [[Novus Castle]] on February 16th, 2019. [[Cmlove]], who built the castle, requested backup to assist in fighting back the attackers, and ostrich1414 was one of the many players to join the counter-attack. However, despite being in fully-maxxed out diamond gear with god weapons, ostrich1414 was slain by JacksTheReaper, a member of YMP, which ultimately resulted in the raid on Novus Castle being a victory for the griefing team. Ironically enough, YMP would later grief Fort Cranberry the next day, ending ostrich1414's second official colony.<br />
<br />
[[File:NovusCastleGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these instances of intense strife and destruction, 2019 also served as a year of positive growth and change for ostrich1414. His city Struthio was skyrocketing as both a world power and a wealthy, vast city, its skyline becoming iconic. Ostrich1414 invited various new members to Struthio, and by April 2019, the city had grown significantly in both size, wealth, power and membership. Players such as [[CrackyJoe]], clipchip and [[DakkaDok]] would soon assist at Struthio, and even Master_Xybot returned from his hiatus in February to help build once again. Porkington, however, would later quit the city, enraged by his perceived lack of respect there.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioSkylineApril.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, ostrich1414 would also become the co-founder of a new city, a sort-of side project of his to Struthio. This city was named [[Florestria]], which he co-founded with [[SkykirryChycho]] on February 20th, 2019. What began as a small, quiet lakeside community quickly grew into a much larger city, with various farms, buildings and towers dotting the skyline. Ostrich1414 used Florestria as a city to build relationships with newer SimPvP players, a stark contrast to Struthio's makeup of older players.<br />
<br />
[[File:FlorestriaApril19.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
During the first few months of 2019, especially due to the explosive growth in player count, ostrich1414 found himself establishing several formal relationships with other teams and bases. Struthio and [[Triterrus]] formed an official alliance as sister cities, and Struthio and [[Nos Aeterna]] also formed an alliance, with DakkaDok even arriving at Struthio to build an embassy. Struthio and [[Ishtar]] formed an alliance (prior to its grief), and Struthio and Florestria shared embassies as well. Struthio and [[New Bapadia]] found themselves forming an alliance, with ostrich1414 mending his relationship with Bapada63 after the incident at Bapadia. Ostrich1414 himself also increased his number of affiliations and alliances, trying to build a new reputation as a trading power.<br />
<br />
==Shit Goes Down==<br />
<br />
By the middle of spring 2019, ostrich1414 was able to experience both of his cities, Struthio and Florestria, prosper to their fullest as they progressed exponentially. Each city was gaining several new members, farms and buildings almost weekly. However, behind the scenes, things were not going very well diplomatically: in April 2019, Struthio had been discovered by a group known as "Passione", which included [[Brusa95]], [[Chris_cord]] and [[trppbll]]. While ostrich1414 was allied and on good terms with Passione, there was one player whom they were allied with that would prove to be detrimental to the city: [[Antzakes1]].<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioDiscovery2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Due to a series of pre-existing tensions (which included ambushes in /world and the raid of Java Linsghey), Antzakes1 immediately began threatening Struthio's safety upon being invited there by Passione. Realizing the city was already compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Struthians began to form plans on what to do next: the declaration of war was seriously being considered, while plans for a new city in a new location was also considered. Regardless, tensions would only worsen: it was discovered that [[AntHand]], a member of Florestria, had sold that city's coordinates to Antzakes1 for Struthio's coordinates, which now meant that Antzakes1 had access to two of ostrich1414's most important cities, which doubled the threats. Enraged at AntHand, as well as feeling betrayed, ostrich1414 decided to enact revenge on him. On May 9th, while AntHand was AFK in Florestria's gunpowder farm, ostrich1414 laced the area with TNT and blew him up, killing him instantaneously and destroying all of his drops. Ostrich1414 immediately fled from Florestria after.<br />
<br />
[[File:AntHandAttack1.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, AntHand and ostrich1414 apologized to each other and made up, realizing that Antzakes1 had manipulated them into quarreling with each other. While plans for an all-out war against Antzakes1 continued, both Struthio and Florestria ultimately decided to move on and simply ignore Antzakes1. Both cities decided to fully start from scratch as several members from each flocked to new locations, while Antzakes1 ultimately went on hiatus. Unfortunately, [[TheOnlySlash]] would leak Struthio's coordinates to the public, which ultimately resulted in the city being griefed by jared2013 on June 3rd, 2019, resulting in the end of ostrich1414's greatest city yet. Florestria, meanwhile, would survive, albeit fully abandoned.<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414 IV: A New Hope==<br />
<br />
Despite the countless setbacks of the Antzakes1 Crisis, ostrich1414 emerged stronger than ever. By June 2019, he was heavily involved in three major cities: [[Nos Aeterna]], [[Yittrium]] and [[Segoria]] (the Big 3).<br />
<br />
Previously, ostrich1414 had been invited to [[DakkaDok]]'s city, Nos Aeterna, in mid-April 2019. Due to the city's immense distance from spawn and its lack of portal connections, ostrich1414 sent a new alt, XXXOstrichtacion, to live and work at the city. While he would not be heavily active here, ostrich1414 did assist Nos Aeterna's growth in several ways, including building a skyscraper in honor of Struthio, helping to organize the city's brand-new storage facility, and fixing several farms. Two other former Struthians, Sengorn_Leopard and CrackyJoe, were also invited alongside ostrich1414.<br />
<br />
[[File:NosAeternaSkylineJuly.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Yittrium was the immediate follow-up of Florestria. After Florestria was compromised and abandoned in May 2019, ostrich1414 and the rest of its members fled to a new location significantly farther out, forming the city of Yittrium. Unlike Florestria, which was a quiet, lowkey lakeside community, Yittrium was a massive metropolis with several highrises and large-scale builds. Yittrium was directly influenced by Struthio's modern-city aesthetic, featuring a very imposing skyline.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumSkylineAugust.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Segoria, the last of the Big 3 for ostrich1414, was a follow-up city for Struthio. Segoria's location had actually been discovered and claimed by Sengorn_Leopard during Struthio's prime, but it was essentially reserved only in the occasion that the city fell; Segoria was a back-up plot for a new start. Thus, after Struthio was compromised, several key members of the city fled to the new location, Segoria, in May 2019. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would not be very active here: he had sent his alt OstrichsCoolAlt to live at Segoria while he focused heavily on Yittrium, but many of Segoria's members helped grow the city into a large medieval base with several palaces, temples and statues.<br />
<br />
[[File:Segoria2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of these three cities, ostrich1414 had been involved in the server in other smaller ways. He established the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] in March 2019, but really progressed it by May. The CAB served as an alliance between several powerful and wealthy cities, three of which ostrich1414 was involved at. Furthermore, ostrich1414 would engage in several small-scale battles. The first of these was the Battle of Knee Mo, which took place in Yittrium on May 31st. This occurred after AntHand accidentally killed one of [[MoWobbler]]'s fish in a public fountain, resulting in an all-out violent battle. The second battle was the [[Battle of Quagsmaria]], which pitted ostrich1414 and TheOnlySlash against [[Lord1]] and Cocoaboa. After ostrich1414 tried to annex the base [[Quagsmaria]] on July 6th, 2019 with TheOnlySlash, Lord1 attempted to take it back from them; this ultimately resulted in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
==A Second Modern Metropolis==<br />
<br />
Much of 2019 consisted of ostrich1414 working extensively on his city Yittrium. From its inception in May to the end of the year, Yittrium became ostrich1414's sole project, as he allocated much of his time here. In fact, Yittrium, in many ways, was a sequel to Struthio, ostrich1414's last major city: both Yittrium and Struthio were massive modern metropolises with large, active playerbases, all contributing new buildings every week. However, Yittrium was slowly but surely overtaking Struthio in terms of size, shape, wealth and power - this was ostrich1414's greatest base yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumAtNightOctober2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 himself constructed many of the builds at Yittrium, helping define the city's dense, modern feel. However, the other members of Yittrium were equally as vital to its success: players like AntHand, MoWobbler, [[cheesy_chips22]] and more helped grow and shape the city, especially in terms of its industrial wealth. In fact, Yittrium easily became ostrich1414's richest city: "god sets" were able to be manufactured quickly and efficiently, the iron farm was overflowing, and the raid farm, ostrich1414's first farm at the city, produced lots of Totems of Undying. Furthermore, ostrich1414 was able to secure his first truly successful colony with Yittrium: on October 23rd, 2019, he annexed Dylan_Roof's base [[Coon Town]], a base which gave Yittrium access to much-needed villager trades, two mob farms and a gold farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:CoonTown1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
October 17th - November 18th was a notable period of 2019 for ostrich1414, as he was heavily involved in the religious, ideological crusade known as "[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]]". On October 17th, ostrich1414, on behalf of [[The Order of Wilbur]], declared war on the [[Church of Francis]]; in response, its leader, Lord1, declared war on the Order of Wilbur. This war would easily become the bloodiest, most violent war in SimPvP history, featuring a plethora of large-scale battles and ambushes.<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleOfMonarchia1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the leader of the Order of the Wilbur and the Wilburian Army in general, ostrich1414 organized several of the battles that took place. Most notably, ostrich1414 took part in the Battle of Monarchia, the largest battle in server history to-date: a total of 19 players showed up, with 18 active soldiers fighting altogether. Ostrich1414 was involved with all the battles of the war, except for the last, the Battle of [[Syracusai]]. Nevertheless, he was able to secure several military victories for the Order of Wilbur, getting several kills (and experiencing several deaths as well). The war in itself was not only very violent, seeing active combat regularly, but was also very resource-heavy: at Yittrium, ostrich1414 and his team were forced to manufacture dozens of potions, gear and Totems of Undying for the war effort. This effort payed off, as the Order of Wilbur was successful in several battles, most notably the battles of Java Linsghey, Snowfrog, Monarchia and Syracusai.<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleOfAndromeda.png|400px]] [[File:WilburianAmryVictory.png|400px]] [[File:MonarchiaVictory1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After the Battle of Syracusai, on November 18th, Lord1 officially surrendered to the Order of Wilbur on behalf of the Church of Francis, ending the war and resulting in an Order of Wilbur victory. Later that night, ostrich1414 organized a peace conference and victory celebration in [[Verillium]], reviewing and accepting terms of surrender with Lord1 and celebrating his team's victory with the soldiers who helped achieve it. The Holy-Wilbur Francis War was ostrich1414's second war he had partaken in on the server, but it was easily his most successful and eventful.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 1.png|400px]] [[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Postwar Depression==<br />
<br />
While the Holy Wilbur-Francis War had ended in a victory, ostrich1414 would be unaware of just how tense and unpleasant the next few months on SimPvP would be for him and the players around him. Almost immediately after the war's end, another war had begun: the [[Intervention War]], declared by the [[Bloc for Clans]] (which ostrich1414 was in at the time) due to perceived long-term hostilities shown by both the [[Shadow Mcmafia]] and [[The Dominion]]. While the Intervention War would not have massive, organized battles like the war before it, the Intervention War was comprised of a series of smaller PvP battles, skirmishes and terror attacks, making it difficult for players to move around safely. While a member of the BC, ostrich1414 would not take part in this war, remaining neutral due to his friendliness with both belligerents involved in the war. Nonetheless, it killed many of his allies and threatened several of his bases, setting the tone for a tense period of time.<br />
<br />
On December 8th, 2019, due to the Bloc for Clans announcing their plans on annexing [[Ascaris]], ostrich1414 rushed to the city and claimed a large portion of the land for Yittrium in fear that the city would be primarily used for an advantage during the Intervention War, wanting to ensure its safety. Yittrium and the BC both agreed to divide the city in half and share it - unfortunately, a week later, Ascaris would be severely griefed by an unknown player, which many believe to be a consequence of the Intervention War.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ascaris Colonization.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, ostrich1414 had a threat of his own at Yittrium, as the city increasingly become less safe and more unstable. The Shadow Mcmafia had been threatening it for months, but the likelihood of the city being either raided or griefed became a serious topic as the player count increased and the safety and security decreased. By December 2019, Yittrium was entering the stages of a dying city: its members were rarely active, only using it for its abundance of farms. In fact, during this time, between late November and early December, ostrich1414 moved on to a solo project (which quickly grew into a massive multi-player project), establishing [[Craftablia]] on November 23rd. Made up of multiple chunks of crafting tables laid on the ground, many of which were donated by [[SFR]] and Sengorn_Leopard, ostrich1414 utilized Craftablia as an escape from Yittrium, feeling little motivation to build at his home city due to the many reasons mentioned prior. Ultimately, Craftablia would be abandoned as well, and soon discovered by a new player.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ostrich1414 at Craftablia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By late December 2019 - early January 2020, ostrich1414 was growing dissatisfied and depressed with his time on SimPvP. His bases were being active and abandoned, the Intervention War was consuming the efforts of his allies, and he was lacking motivation in general. His long-time portal hub had recently been made public, and the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] had disbanded due to inactivity. At this time, he would assist [[cmlove]] with two bases: first, [[The Foxhole]], which only lasted a few weeks until it was griefed on December 19th, and [[Vulpes Den]], a base he founded with cmlove shortly after the Foxhole was griefed. The two bases shared a common theme, being underground complexes with a nature inspiration - nonetheless, ostrich1414's growing boredom and lack of motivation rendered his activities here unproductive, and he would ultimately leave Vulpes Den soon after.<br />
<br />
[[File:Vulpes Den 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After a few days of inactivity and boredom, ostrich1414 officially left SimPvP for a short hiatus on January 5th, 2020. Needing some time for a break, ostrich1414's hiatus would prove detrimental to his in-game city: that same day, Yittrium was severely raided by [[Byzantium]] due to internal issues they had with fellow member [[TonTheKidRS]], forcing the city's members to abandon it for good. Unaware of this at the time, ostrich1414 assumed that he would not be back for a few months, as his postwar depression made playing on SimPvP a chore, rather than a fun activity.<br />
<br />
During his hiatus, ostrich1414 played a fuckton of Bed Wars on Hypixel.<br />
<br />
==He's Back, Baby!==<br />
<br />
While ostrich1414 was gone, a political dispute unrelated to the ongoing Intervention War was brewing in the city of [[Sigil]], known as [[The Sigil Conflict]]. This issue involved many of ostrich1414's allies, as Lord1, on behalf of the Church of Francis, used a perceived lack of religious freedom to bar Wilburians from certain areas of the city, practically overtaking the city for his own. Tensions reached their climax when Lord1 killed [[nddragoon]] and GummyBearz14, as well as launching an unofficial crusade against the Francillian doubters of Sigil; the base was now unsafe as violence brewed, and the coordinates had been leaked. Ostrich1414, who was repeatedly DM'd on Discord about this, decided it was time to return: on January 17th, 2020, ostrich1414 traveled to Sigil and griefed the Church of Francis temple in retaliation for their actions towards the Wilburians and innocent Sigil civilians. Ostrich1414 then began to attack Lord1 and Cutman as a short battle ensued, although this was later dissolved as an armistice was declared.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the toll this conflict took on the city of Sigil and relations between Lord1 and other BC members, the Sigil Conflict had actually proven to be vital for ostrich1414: it renewed his interest in the server, bringing excitement and thrill back into the game for him.<br />
<br />
This was made even more clear when, literally a day later, [[The Second Siege]] began, also known as "The Hispanic Panic". This was a server-wide event initiated in response to the growing threat that a [[MrCramYT]], a Spanish YouTuber with over 50,000 subscribers, would make a video on SimPvP that would ultimately bring an influx of players online and make the lag and playability even worse than it already was. Thus, despite the many instances of strife and war on the server, everyone unified together despite their differences and began to work together and make spawn impenetrable, ensuring that new players could not leave it. In fact, TheOnlySlash (who had organized the Second Siege) made ostrich1414 a member of the Inner Council of the event, and ostrich1414 played a major role in bringing forth more players to the cause. Ultimately, the Second Siege was successful in stopping MrCramYT from making the video, and the event as a whole became the largest gathering of SimPvP players at one location in server history.<br />
<br />
[[File:Siege II Group 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Once again, ostrich1414 was back and reinvigorated, happy to be playing on SimPvP again after the excitement of mid-January.<br />
<br />
==Return to Form: War and Peace==<br />
<br />
By mid-January, there were still two major issues plaguing ostrich1414: he was both poor and homeless, primarily due to the loss of Yittrium. As such, he decided to establish a brand-new megacity on January 24th, 2020, known as the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], or "Wilburia" for short. Wilburia would be the first official base created specifically by and for the Order of Wilbur, nearly six years after the religion was formed. While Wilburia was originally meant to be a solo project, ostrich1414 later invited a small group of devout Wilburians: [[Zepheron]], cheesy_chips22 and Porkington. The city grew rapidly, constructing a sizable, respectable city square by February 2020.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia February 7.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike Struthio, Florestria or Yittrium before it, Wilburia's strength was its small team. With only four players, three of which were primarily active, Wilburia quickly became one of the wealthiest and most powerful bases on SimPvP. Several skyscrapers, three major megastructures, and high-quality farms ranging from a gold farm, totem farm, and gunpowder farm would be constructed between January and April. Ostrich1414 had finally risen out of the ashes, becoming a wealthy player once more and no longer relying on feeding off of the rotten corpse of Yittrium.<br />
<br />
Of course, the time between January - early-April 2020 had its major incidents. Perhaps the most important event was [[The Byzantium War]], a war which ostrich1414 himself officially declared on February 23rd, 2020. The Byzantium War began way back in January 5th, when the members of Byzantium first raided Yittrium. While ostrich1414 and his former teammates were angered by this, they decided to move on. It wasn't until February when the members of Byzantium began mocking them for it that tensions truly began to rise. [[Passaconaway]] renamed his alt account to "RIPYittrium2020", and later leaked the city's coordiantes on that same account. This incident is what truly sparked the beginnings of the war, leading ostrich1414 to recruit a few loyalists and raid Byzantium's former base, Triterrus, in response.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Raid.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By February 23rd, the war truly picked up. With tensions rising and anger and mockery consuming the chat, ostrich1414 and his allies returned to Triterrus, this time severely and irreparably griefing it. War was immediately declared between Byzantium and "New Israel" (the informal name given to ostrich1414 and his allies), and the Byzantium War would be known as a war of griefing. Not long after the grief of Triterrus, Byzantium would severely grief Yittrium on February 25th, as well as later griefing Antzakes1's invisible base on March 28th. While these three major griefings would mark the severity of the war, no actual battles took place, and fighting was brought to a minimum, leaving much of the war empty and inactive.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, things would soon die down for the Byzantium War. Two major peace conferences took place: the Quinsigamond Peace Conference on February 27th, and the Turtle Beach Peace Conference on March 29th. The first of the two was only between ostrich1414, [[VetoTheNeato]] and Byzantium, but the second was between the major parties of New Israel and Byzantium, bringing the war to an end. It was decided that there would be no "winners" or "losers" of the war, and that all parties would move on peacefully, as well as to forgive each other for the atrocities that occurred. With the Byzantium War now ending, ostrich1414 was a veteran of three wars. While not as violent as the War of Monarchia or the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Byzantium War was the first war where ostrich1414 had truly felt anger and betrayal.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Peace Conference 1.png|400px]] [[File:Peace Conference 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of working on his city Wilburia and partaking in the Byzantium War, ostrich1414 engaged in other activities as well, typically related to diplomatic relations. Ostrich1414 was one of the many participants of the [[Simpvp Summit]] on February 23rd, representing his city Wilburia. He was also forced to confess to the griefing of [[North Koria (Base)]], later reconciling with [[Korijenkins]] at the Struthian-North Korian Peace Summit on February 3rd. In early March, ostrich1414 participated in #WitherWeek at Segoria, assisting his Segorian allies in finally finishing the massive wither skeleton farm they had started in 2018. Ostrich1414 was also a soldier during the very short Second Invasion of [[Lordtopia]] on April 9th, although he was blown up by an end crystal within less than a minute of battle.<br />
<br />

<br />
Perhaps the most important moment of January-April 2020 for ostrich1414 was when he became the newest official admin of SimPvP on February 28th, 2020. For many years, Yukarion, DakkaDok and MisterStrawman had been the only admins on the server, but their decreasing activity had led to the pursuit of a new admin. Ostrich1414's vast playtime, experience and activity on SimPvP led him to become a prime candidate, and eventually, led to him becoming the fourth active admin.<br />
<br />
==A Man Both Jaded and Weary==<br />
<br />
As the year 2020 proved to be a chaotic one, ironically both in SimPvP and in real life, ostrich1414 found himself once again growing exhausted and unmotivated. Although the end of the Byzantium War had promised ostrich1414 a new period to focus on his blossoming city, Wilburia, things would not be as pleasant as he originally envisioned. Nonetheless, between April to mid-May, Wilburia became one of ostrich1414's greatest cities to date: a city of high quality, wealth, power, and grandeur. Motivated by the flaws and pitfalls of his previous two megacities, Struthio and Yittrium, the one thing maintaining his interest in SimPvP was the growth of Wilburia.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between April 15th and April 16th, a sudden crisis would occur that once again threatened peace and stability: [[The Stonetown Incident]]. After attempting to annex Stonetown on behalf of Wilburia, primarily due to its historic and religious significance, ostrich1414 was "betrayed" by Porkington after he instead gave the deed to Stonetown to Lord1. Soon after, Lord1 annexed Stonetown and converted it into a Francillian colony -- something ostrich1414 was strongly against due to Stonetown's stance as the base where the Order of Wilbur was founded. This resulted in Wilburia taking back Stonetown, threatening the Francillians, and a back-and-forth ensued: each group would remove the other's decorations and temporarily occupy the land. In fact, this crisis got so heated that it almost led to yet another Holy Wilbur-Francis War, and both sides were gearing for battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, neither ostrich1414 nor Lord1 truly wanted ''another'' war. After attending a peace treaty to ease tensions, ostrich1414 was confronted by a sudden imposing and outlandish questions by Lord1, in which he asked: "Are you CranberryWarrior?" Although this may have seemed like a bizarre question to ask by most players, it was not; ostrich1414 admitted that he was indeed CranberryWarrior, and had been since 2017. Ostrich1414 had been using CranberryWarrior behind-the-scenes as a secret alt account, using it to infiltrate other groups and bases, and to gather information. Some of these groups included [[The Fellowship]], [[Asguard]], North Koria, and Lord1's own Church of Francis. Using CranberryWarrior, ostrich1414 had insided as a loyal Francillian since the summer of 2019; now, in April 2020, he was officially exposed. In return for the distrust he had caused, ostrich1414 gifted Lord1 with the CranberryWarrior account, and Lord1 turned it into a brand-new alt for himself, Lard2.<br />
<br />
[[File:CranberryWarrior Last Words.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
After almost entering yet another war and exposing his secret alt account, the final blow would occur for ostrich1414 that led him to enter a state of hopelessness and non-inspiration on May 6th, 2020. For a few weeks prior, the members of Wilburia, especially ostrich1414 himself, had suspicions that AntHand and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] had access to their city. Unfortunately, these suspicions were revealed to be true: on May 6th, both egnaroky and AntHand showed up to Wilburia in person, declaring that they were incorporating the city into their new "Caudicean Empire". This angered ostrich1414 severely, who felt both betrayed by his allies and sickened that he was losing yet another megacity, his third in a row.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Their city now compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Wilburians abandoned the city entirely, only using it sparingly for farms and resources. Tensions between the Caudices and the rest of the server would only worsen when they proceeded to annex [[Takyon]], Wilburia's sister city which ostrich1414 had very close relations with. In his final act of disobedience against the Caudices, ostrich1414 attended a server party at Takyon on May 8th where dozens of players toured the city one last time before severely griefing it. This also resulted in a minor skirmish between themselves and the Caudices, to no avail.<br />
<br />
[[File:Takyon Party 1.png|400px]] [[File:Takyon Party 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By mid-May, ostrich1414 was jaded, weary, exhausted, and most of all, demotivated. The loss of Wilburia felt more routine than devastating, as he had lost Struthio and Yittrium before it. Ostrich1414 also felt displaced in the new server environment, which became increasingly tense and angry; wars were far more common now, and strife and drama occurred at a much more alarming rate. Needing to take a break from SimPvP for a while, ostrich1414 departed on yet another one of his frequent hiatuses, only logging on periodically for server maintenance, hoping to focus on real life.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, real life sucked too (2020 was kind of a lame year, ngl).<br />
<br />
==Searching for Meaning==<br />
<br />
After the Wilburia incident, ostrich1414 didn't log on for much of May or June, only properly returning to the server in late June. His first major step back into the server life was his brief participation at the Second SimPvP Summit on June 20th, although even this was very short-lived. Ostrich1414 had become severely unmotivated and uninspired, with no main base to his name and no direction. Fortunately, this mentality was somewhat remedied with his induction into [[The Republic]]--a brand new team with the goal of decreasing Lord1's influence on SimPvP, as well as the Church of Francis as a whole. The Republic also aimed to focus on public works projects at and around spawn, improving the environment for all.<br />
<br />
Of course, an entire team largely targetting one player has disastrous effects. On June 23rd, several members of the Republic griefed Two Words, the Church of Francis' primary base. Ostrich1414, while not a part of the grief, was considered a major suspect for leaking it due to his knowledge of the coordinates thanks to CranberryWarrior. The grief, and this rumor, would ultimately lead Lord1 and [[Wawuwiva]] to target and grief ostrich1414's longest-lasting base on SimPvP, Stonetown. That same day, on June 23rd, Stonetown was mercilessly griefed and destroyed, ending its six year lifespan.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although dismayed and saddened by this loss, ostrich1414 urged himself to continue playing on SimPvP and supporting the Republic's endeavors. On July 13th, ostrich1414 began a brand-new solo project: a unique landmark called [[Inferno]]. Inspired by places like Craftablia and [[The Graveyard]], Inferno consisted of a specifically-placed pattern of 3-block-high netherrack pillars, with fire lit on top of each of them, covering an entire landmass. Inferno was constructed with no other goal in mind than creating yet another unique spawn landmark for players to enjoy, and to boost the Republic's image as more of a public works group. Ostrich1414 also participated in another Republic-affiliated public works project, this time assisting 4Pilot and Zepheron in repairing the public end portal area.<br />
<br />
[[File:Inferno 1.png|400px]] [[File:End Boys.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite his lack of motivation to work on yet another base, ostrich1414 was ironically invited to three new bases during this period: Shakatak Mycelia on June 23rd, [[Exultia]] on June 29th, and [[Belgium]] on July 21st. At Shakatak Mycelia, ostrich1414 was inducted into the base's primary team, [[Shakatak]], organized by [[Burger_Malone]]. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would be very inactive here, primarily due to his lack of motivation and skillset required to build in the town's architectural standard. The same would go for Exultia, yet another base ostrich1414 participated at very minimally. In Exultia's case however, the base would not last very long; there was an overwhelming sense of burnout and inactivity within the entire base population, resulting in many members, including ostrich1414, to respectfully drop out near the end of the summer. Of these three bases, Belgium would be ostrich1414's most active participation--although even this was somewhat minimal. Joining the [[North Koria (Clan)]] alongside TheOnlySlash, Korijenkins, and [[HedgehogMind]], ostrich1414 assisted in some large scale projects at Belgium, primarily related to base expansion.<br />
<br />
[[File:ShakOst.png|400px]] [[File:Belgium Crew.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the moment that truly brought ostrich1414 back into the SimPvP mindset, and reintroducing his inspiration to play, was his participation in SKRT, or the Sim Kast Removal Team. Starting on August 23rd, 2020, the Sim Kast Removal Team was founded by the [[GS Trading Co.]] in order to completely renovate and repair spawn after years of abuse, destruction, and lavacasting. Ever since 2019, spawn had been suffocated by intense lavacasts, so the massive organized team of SKRT worked around the clock to dismantle these features using various methods, from TNT dupers to mining to simple TNT placement. Several SKRT members also focused on draining much of the water cubes that had been left over from Operation Moist Boiz I and II, trying to dry out spawn. After only a week of renovation, SKRT's goals were a resounding success: spawn was completely different than it had been before, with much more space around the protected zone. This was the moment where ostrich1414 truly became engaged with the server yet again.<br />
<br />
[[File:SKRT Crew.png|400px]] [[File:Revamped Spawn.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the summer began to dwindle and lead into fall, ostrich1414 became more active on SimPvP and participated in a myriad of smaller events. On August 7th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron became two of the many players to participate in the glitch abuse of [[Dragon Eggs]], each obtaining a dragon egg (although these were later destroyed due to a new ruling). On August 30th, ostrich1414 was also one of the founding members of [[Palau]], a short-lived base that only lasted around 24 minutes before it devolved into the chaotic Massacre of Palau when TheOnlySlash killed Qyburn_ and bedtrapped Paul358.<br />
<br />

<br />
==A Tale of Two Cities==<br />
<br />
While much of ostrich1414's 2020 summer had been characterized by a lack of motivation, disillusionment, and no real sense of purpose as a result of the Wilburia incident, things soon changed by the fall when he joined two brand new cities. In September, ostrich1414 co-founded [[Quabbin]], and in October, he joined [[Void City]]; both of these bases would become his primary sources of focus for the latter half of 2020.<br />
<br />
Quabbin was co-founded by ostrich1441 and AntHand on September 2nd after the two wanted to reunite and find a common ground after Wilburia, using the base as an excuse to warm relations. They were soon joined by egnaroky, MoWobbler, JESUS_warrior69, and cmlove. Much like ostrich1414's previous cities, specifically Struthio and Yittrium, Quabbin became yet another ever-growing megacity characterized by its modern aesthetic. Ostrich1414, once again motivated to build after months, began work on his signature modern cityscape, cultivating a unique skyline with several skyscrapers and farms in a central riverside island known as "Quabbin Center". Around him, the other Quabbin members created their own unique contributions, from MoWobbler's Sphere City to AntHand's Area 69 to cmlove's Zoo Wee Mama.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quabbin November 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
About a month after Quabbin, ostrich1414 formally joined his next base, Void City. Founded by Korijenkins on October 3rd, Void City is notable for being located in the End, and an unofficial expansion of the Belgium team. At Void City, ostrich1414 was also joined by Belgium regulars TheOnlySlash and HedgehogMind, as well as old allies he had not based with in years, including clipchip, JavelinFury, and dariepearjuicy. Void City features a cyberpunk aesthetic, using the End dimension as a juxtaposition for futuristic space-like builds and towers. Much like at Quabbin, ostrich1414 would construct several skyscrapers and farms here, using his knack for modern builds to the city's advantage.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void Citiots.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, Quabbin and Void City were not ostrich1414's only activities during this time. Between September and early December, ostrich1414 engaged in several battles, meet-ups, events, and spawn projects.<br />
<br />
In September, ostrich1414 engaged in two major battles. The first was the [[Battle of Swampland]] on September 15th, a classic Church of Francis versus Order of Wilbur battle, between Lord1, xexc, and [[James8B]] versus ostrich1414, MoWobbler, and [[ElectricChugg]]. While this battle would go on for over an hour, and ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were able to successfully defend themselves, the Order of Wilbur ultimately lost: ElectricChugg had been killed early in the battle, and after an hour or losing resources, the two remaining Wilburians were forced to flee. The second was the Battle of [[Suit's tower]] on September 29th, a spur-of-the-moment battle between Lord1, ostrich1414, and [[_Goujon_]] versus AntHand, Sellout9, and Cutman. Unlike the previous battle, this one was extremely short, with ostrich1414's emerging victorious within minutes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]] [[File:Battle of Suit's Tower.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On October 6th, ostrich1414 and a coalition of other players teamed up to grief [[Azpipia]], a spawn base partially created by Azdin. This was done in response to Azdin's negligent removal of several spawn landmarks, returning them to vanilla Minecraft terrain as if nothing had ever been built there. There were also several parties attended by ostrich1414, including [[Barrier Town]], Wassrïge Hólle Trei, and MoWobbler's Second Annual Halloween Tomb Event at Yittrium. Perhaps the highlight of these player get-togethers was the one year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, where ostrich1414 and several war veterans and Francillians/Wilburians met up in Verillium to reflect on the carnage that had occurred one year ago.<br />
<br />
[[File:Barrier Town 1.png|400px]] [[File:Holy War One Year 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On December 4th, ostrich1414, along with MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]], completed [[Suidae Temple]]: the Order of Wilbur's first major spawn temple. Rising from the depths of the ocean from a 3x3 circular grid, Suidae Temple was the first major act of the Order of Wilbur in months, and a fine addition to their collection of temples.<br />
<br />
[[File:Suidae Temple Shader 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, ostrich1414 participated in what would become one of the most violent, destructive wars in SimPvP history: [[The Imperial War]]. What began as a "larp" war for some soon devolved into an unprecedented arms race of destruction between the Church of Francis and the wartime-exclusive loose collective of players known as the People's Coalition, composed of numerous SimPvP teams united against the COF. While the ambush and murder of Sellout9 and SimCoin in early December 2020 would be the true catalyst for war, many players (including ostrich1414 himself) were growing frustrated with the COF's reign of imperialism and terror, with specific incidents like "Operation Red Terror" leaving a sour taste in their mouths, and the relentless ambushing of unaffiliated players began to wear thin. Ostrich1414 himself had a historic rivalry with the Church of Francis, and was thus propelled into the creation of the People's Coalition to fight against what they saw as a force detrimental to the server. On December 10th, 2020, the People's Coalition officially declared war on the Church of Francis, targeting and griefing two of their spawn bases: Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lakeside Lodge 1.png|400px]] [[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The first half of the Imperial War would largely be characterized by back-and-forth griefs of inactive, yet still prized, PC and COF affiliated bases, as well as various skirmishes and small guerrilla battles in both /world and spawn. The COF would grief some of ostrich1414's own former bases during this time, including [[New Oberstein]], Tol Honeth, and Florestria, as well as other smaller PC-affiliated bases. The PC would strike back, griefing Bitchport, RBC Spawn Base, and [[Swaglabs]]. Of course, much of the true action during this period of the war took place in /world, where countless skirmishes between PC and COF troops took place. While each side of the war had its own strengths and weaknesses, there seemed to be no clear winner in sight yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war, however, proved to be much more detrimental to both the participants on both sides, as well as the server itself. The first major controversy struck when the COF raided and griefed [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first major active base of the war to be targeted. This left countless PC members homeless, enraging them. Soon after, the YMP base Axetown was targeted by the COF. Wartime "battles" would decrease at this time, with fewer and fewer PC-COF combat; several PC members withdrew from the war for personal reasons while the COF attempted to negotiate peace, only to be turned down by the still-furious PC. Eventually, the next major base to fall would be at the hands of the PC on January 11th when they raided and annexed [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main base at the time. While this crippled any hope of an immediate peace, ostrich1414 found himself largely regretting the decision after partaking in it, viewing the ongoing war as an unwinnable vacuum of destruction for both sides simultaneously.<br />
<br />
[[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The last base to be targeted during the war, [[Pepe's Holy Land]], was raided and annexed by the PC shortly before true peace negotiations began to take place. Soldiers on both sides of the war were growing weary and distraught with its outcome; numerous active, impressive bases like GFC and Three Words were falling, and they felt that more were to come if the crisis continued. While the PC had previously rejected the COF's negotiations, they once again attempted to agree to mutual terms by mid-to-late January, with ostrich1414 himself spearheading the peace talks between himself, AntHand, Lord1, Tenced, and CrackyJoe. Finally, after days of negotiating, both the PC and the COF were able to come to an agreement: on January 28th, 2021, the two once-warring teams decided to come together and officially declare peace, ending the Imperial War for good. A small peace conference was held at Gibraltar Castle (one of the first bases to be griefed during the war) where representatives from both sides met and signed treaties. After well over a month of destruction, chaos, and hatred, another major war had ended...yet some tensions remained.<br />
<br />
[[File:Imperial War Peace 1.png|400px]] [[File:Imperial War Peace 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Pain.==<br />
<br />
By the end of the Imperial War, ostrich1414 was at his lowest in terms of lack of motivation, lack of enthusiasm, disillusionment, and irritability. On January 19th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron were forced to grief the dormant remains of Wilburia after it was x-rayed a partially griefed by 39Y. Almost two weeks later, he, and the other members, were forced to abandon Quabbin as the city had become overrun with unaffiliated outsider players gaining access to coordinates, with some likely looking to damage the city as post-war retaliation. Furthermore, AntHand, ostrich1414's long-time ally, was embroiled in a massive controversy regarding the use of a wolf-tracking exploit with which he discovered Three Words, as well as Wilburia a year prior. Yukarion's decision not to punish AntHand left ostrich1414 in an uncomfortable position as an admin, and as a previous Three Words raider. Despite the war being over, ostrich1414 was drained.<br />
<br />
Of course, post-Imperial War life was not all that bad. On February 4th, ostrich1414 was invited to join GS Trading Co.'s main base, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]], which he arrived at after permanently departing from Quabbin. Sternenfall Nochmal was notable for the vast array of high-powered farms it possessed, from withers to obsidian to guardians to gold. However, Sternenfall Nochmal also had a growing urban sector, with many of its members constructing soaring skyscrapers and other city structures. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would never truly build much at Sternenfall Nochmal, instead focusing on his budding map art obsession and assisting with farm-related projects. Ostrich1414 also spent some time at Void City again, finishing his long-dormant wool farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Skuller Sternenfall Nochmal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, ostrich1414's major project during this period of time would be [[Riverwood]]: a small town established specifically for new players, recruiting them and getting them started with gear and materials. Founded by ostrich1414 on February 15th, the town prospered for the next two weeks, housing over a dozen brand new players who contributed to its growing expansion. Largely utilizing Imperial Architecture as its primary build style, Riverwood would become ostrich1414's sole focus for most of February as he assisted many new players in getting them started on the server. Soon afterwards, The Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis decided to use Riverwood as an opportunity to make peace and spread unity, both constructing temples in the town and, for once, living in harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately by March 2021, Riverwood would decline in activity, and so would ostrich1414. His duties as admin had been largely outweighing his regular playtime, and, simply put, he had lost his passion for the server. Upon Riverwood's stagnation, ostrich1414 largely focused on building map arts, assisting others with small projects, or attending the occasional server event. On March 20th, 2021, ostrich1414 would help train MoWobbler as the newest SimPvP admin, a position which ostrich1414 himself pushed for. Ostrich1414 would also host the server's very first [[Map Art Competition]] throughout this month, with voting being held on April 1st. In total, thirteen map arts would be submitted, and forty-seven people would vote, making this competition a huge success. Ostrich1414 himself had even submitted an entry, "Portland Head Light", which came in second place.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Mo Admin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By early April, ostrich1414 was mentally drained. His latest project had been [[Iron Block]], a literal 32x32 floating cube of iron blocks near spawn, built out of boredom. He had been invited to revisit Three Words upon the base's restoration thanks to the [[Base Restoration Policy]], finally making amends with its members, although the incident still haunted him. Furthermore, ostrich1414 had no clear inspiration or ambition to continue with anything else, with his last project on the server being a refurbishment of a public spawn/end spawn portal with [[willowienal]]. On April 6th, 2021, ostrich1414 decided that it was best to take an extended hiatus and return to SimPvP when he was once again motivated and rejuvenated, marking this as yet another entry in his long list of hiatuses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Iron Block 1.png|400px]] [[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Pain.<br />
<br />
==Disillusionment.==<br />
<br />
So uh, that "hiatus" only lasted around a week. Awkward.<br />
<br />
After this week-long break, ostrich1414 would return to SimPvP, feeling slightly more motivated to play than he had prior to his departure. However, he was not as enthusiastic to play the server as he had once been months, or even years ago, and decided to lean in to a more casual approach of playing SimPvP. Around this time, ostrich1414's old ally cheesy_chips22 had finally returned from his own hiatus, and the two instantly reunited as they pondered the idea of starting a new Wilburian base, as they had worked together on Wilburia in 2020. Thus, on April 19th, 2021, the city of [[São Porco]] was officially founded: this would become the newest headquarters for the Order of Wilbur in their goal to reconstruct themselves and become much more active again. Numerous Wilburian members and allies would be invited to the city, including many former Quabbin and GFC members. Unlike many of ostrich1414's other bases, São Porco would embody a Brazilian-inspired theme, featuring tropical villages, favelas, hilly coasts, and cityscape inspired by the likes of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Ostrich1414 himself would assist cheesy_chips22 in the construction of the city's favelas and villages, shying away from his usual modern style and going for a more unique South American rustic influence in building.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco July 23 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Aside from his new project at São Porco, ostrich1414 would focus on more fun and casual events throughout the next few months on SimPvP. The server's 10 year anniversary would arrive on April 23rd, 2021, with ostrich1414 hosting a still-life museum in the events world, showcasing dioramas of many past wars in the server's history. A few days later on May 2nd, 2021, he would also host the Server Party at Quabbin, a follow-up to his previous Server Party at Quinsigamond back in 2018. The party at Quabbin would become one of the largest gatherings of players in server history, with 27 people showing up to the abandoned city of Quabbin (with ostrich1414 public revealing the coordinates for all to access). While the party would largely run smoothly, OperatorUltra's arrival would result in the deaths of a few party guests, including ostrich1414 himself, and a minor battle taking place. Later, on May 5th, ostrich1414 would be invited to the base Dreamscape by SkullerG, a small medieval-inspired village at the world border. Although his activity here would be minor and temporary, he nonetheless managed to construct two buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Server Party at Quabbin Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Server Party at Quabbin 2.png|400px]] [[File:ostrich1414 Dreamscape.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Arguably the most important event during this time period would occur on June 7th, 2021 when, after over two years of being bitter rivals who had been to war twice, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis (then still the Holy States of Francis) officially became allies together. This was a historic peace agreement as both Wilburians and Francillians had been notorious enemies on the server for years, but their post-Imperial War relations had become much more cordial as there proved to be no real benefit to their rivalry in this new era. A large peace summit between the two parties was held as representatives from both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis showed up to discuss terms of peace and alliance, steps for the future, and finally to sign a historic treaty of mutual partnership, with ostrich1414 and Lord1 signing on behalf of their respective parties. Finally, these once-rivals were friends.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COF Summit 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these monumental events, all was not well for ostrich1414. He was once again growing tired of SimPvP; unmotivated, disinterested, and disillusioned. By this point, he was beginning to notice a pattern in his lack of enjoyment for the server he had called "home" for almost seven years now; times have changed, and he was growing more cynical and unhappy. Much of this negativity was directly derived from ostrich1414's position as SimPvP's most active admin, a title he had been privately irritated by for months. Wanting to return to a more casual playstyle free from the stress and responsibilities of adminship, ostrich1414 submitted a two-week's notice to Yukarion in June 2021, and later resigned on July 7th. After serving as an admin for over a year, ostrich1414 had found that the once-coveted title had degraded him down to a shell of his former self. SimPvP was becoming less and less enjoyable, and the increasing toxicity and bitterness raging throughout the server was a major turn-off. Finally a regular player again, ostrich1414 became less active on the server as he focused on smaller projects here and there, from map arts to minor work around São Porco. Still, despite his depressive state worsening, his resignation as admin had lifted a major weight off of his shoulders.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Degredation.==<br />
<br />
As the server further descended into chaotic toxicity and immorality, ostrich1414's own enjoyment of the server would be continuously tested and regressed. Much of this was due to a heated drama brewing within the server, a drama which ostrich1414 would be reluctantly dragged into. By July 22nd, 2021, the Order of Wilbur would forge an official three-part alliance with the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co., establishing the [[G.S.F.W.]] super-alliance. However, the Order of Wilbur's newfound diplomatic association with these two groups would involve it in an increasingly bitter rivalry with YMP; a few weeks earlier, the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co. had griefed Cope Town, a base in which two YMP members lived. However, even earlier than this, YMP had griefed Riverwood, the OOW and COF's joint spawn base. As such, the OOW would be dragged into this conflict, a conflict which would be made official when, on August 23rd, YMP griefed Sternenfall Nochmal--GS Trading Co.'s second main base which ostrich1414 had been a member of--and declared war against all three members of the G.S.F.W. Later that same day, ostrich1414 would participate in the raid and grief of Skyreach in retaliation for Sternenfall Nochmal. Still, despite this, ostrich1414 would participate very little in the ensuing conflict; on behalf of the OOW, he refused to recognize the "war", and even made attempts to stall aggression and even forge friendliness. One of these attempted acts of avoiding war was his peace conference with [[Nikoxlas]], the leader of the [[Confederacy of Man]] (which, at the time, was also at war with the COF), in order to forge an alliance with the OOW and eventually make peace; unfortunately, this attempt failed.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COM Conference.png|400px]] [[File:Skyreach Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the conflict, dubbed "The Big War" by YMP, continued, ostrich1414 attempted to further isolate himself from it, despite his clear affiliation with the G.S.F.W. Still, the drama was inescapable. One of the members of São Porco, [[bruno_vera]], was also a YMP member--a fact that made the rest of the city's members nervous due to YMP's obsession with griefing it. Ostrich1414, like many other São Porco members, felt that the city's demise was inevitable, and thus preferred to take its destruction into their own hands rather than by a rival group like YMP. Thus, on August 28th, ostrich1414 and several other Wilburians self-griefed São Porco after having raided it, preventing YMP from doing any damage to the city. Unfortunately, the worst of the conflict was yet to come; on September 21st, GS Base #3 (GS's main base at the time) was raided and destroyed by YMP after having been leaked by [[Redbaron1991]], prompting much of GS to leave the server or take a hiatus. By this point in time, ostrich1414 had almost completely isolated himself from the conflict, having no interest in the drama or politics at play, and, instead, wishing to be left alone. Still, he was saddened by GS's departure from SimPvP, as he had forged a long-term alliance with them for over a year.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the grief of São Porco and the very destructive conflict with YMP, ostrich1414 would still find time to enjoy himself on SimPvP--with what little enjoyment he had left. On August 21st, along with [[AntiFreezeFluid]], ostrich1414 founded the city of [[Gosnold]], an island base located roughly 7k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the city grew to be massive, and ostrich1414 invited every member of the Order of Wilbur and several members of the COF and GS. For a little over a month, Gosnold would flourish into a huge megacity, complete with skyscrapers, temples, and a massive offshore statue. Of course, due to only being 7k from spawn, ostrich1414 knew that Gosnold would not last very long, and he was proven correct when, on October 1st, it was severely griefed by [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]]. Other than Gosnold, ostrich1414 would also help found the more permanent city of [[New Yittrium]], the direct successor to São Porco. Shortly after self-griefing São Porco, ostrich1414 and a few of its active remaining members--MoWobbler, cheesy_chips22, willowienal, ElectricChugg, and [[GentleGiant69]]--would move to this new city and establish several farms and buildings, quickly replacing what had been destroyed at their previous base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold Boolin.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would begin to decline in activity at both New Yittrium and on the server in general, instead logging on periodically to explore spawn bases or to AFK at farms. With very little interest or incentive to keep playing, ostrich1414 felt that both the server's climate, and his previous enjoyment of it, had been degraded by meaningless conflict. Much like the outcomes of every other SimPvP war, ostrich1414 was once again plunged into a state of disillusionment, although this time, it had been a brewing disillusionment that had reached its climax thanks to the commonality of toxicity and the mass exodus of server regulars. In his eyes, SimPvP was entering another dark age.<br />
<br />
==Things are Looking Up==<br />
<br />
By mid October 2021, ostrich1414 felt that both he, and the server at large, where in one of its lowest points in history. Sick of the drama, toxicity, hatred, and disgust that was running amok on SimPvP, ostrich1414 felt that it was finally time for a change in scenery. On October 17th, he and willoweinal would discover the server Uneasy Vanilla, a semi-anarchy Minecraft server very similar to SimPvP, but with a much friendlier community than what SimPvP had at the time. Immediately falling in love with the server, ostrich1414 would slowly invite more and more SimPvP players to Uneasy Vanilla, building up a large group known as the "Dirty Moss Boys", establishing several bases, and forming relations with many UV regulars. However, after playing on UV for a month, an incident would occur at ostrich1414's main base when the server's admin unlawfully removed their obsidian farm; this severe act of blatant admin abuse angered him and his basemates, and they soon returned to SimPvP by mid November 2021.<br />
<br />
By the time ostrich1414 had returned from his month-long break, some things had changed. One of the players most responsible for the server's hostile toxicity had been jailed, and the conflict between YMP and the G.S.F.W. had largely ended. Furthermore, ostrich1414's experience with blatant admin abuse on UV made him realize that SimPvP was truly the server for him, and he once again became motivated to regularly play. This time, however, ostrich1414 would make a vow of relative neutrality; the conflict with YMP had severely demoralized him, and he did not wish to repeat it again. Instead, ostrich1414 made it his goal to focus on rebuilding and rebranding the Order of Wilbur, which had also suffered from the conflict. Deciding they wanted to instead focus on building, especially spawn projects, ostrich1414 and GentleGiant69 devised a plan to construct massive obsidian statues using their large reserve of obsidian at New Yittrium. Thus, the Order of Wilbur's first obsidian statue would be that of a T-rex on November 23rd; a day later, they would construct the [[Snail]], a massive obsidian snail near spawn. The Snail in particular would become one of the defining moments of the Order of Wilbur's reformation, and the project drew dozens of players to help aid in its construction. The Snail would be completed roughly two days later, consisting of 177,000 blocks of solid obsidian. Although the large project drew its fair share of conflict--including a few battles and an eventual lavacast--the Snail was nonetheless a success in terms of spwan projects, and the beginning of both ostrich1414 and the OOW's return to form.<br />
<br />
[[File:T-Rex Statue.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 1.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the OOW grew, adding more members and emphasizing a focus on spawn work, ostrich1414 also found himself starting a new base that would be handled by the group. On November 27th, several players that ostrich1414 had met on Uneasy Vanilla joined SimPvP, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Alongside [[LidGuy]], ostrich1414 brought them far out to a new location, where they eventually settled and founded the city of [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become a unique base, with its membership mostly composed of players who had played Uneasy Vanilla for some significant time; it soon became an affiliate base of the Order of Wilbur, and several other Wilburians were invited to join. Pangaea would flourish throughout the next few months, featuring a series of diverse styles of architecture and builds, from modern skyscrapers to medieval villages to rustic cabins to industrial farms. Ostrich1414 himself would invest heavily into Pangaea, constructing three skyscrapers and also building a sugar cane farm and a blaze farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pangaea Skyline January 29.png|400px]] [[File:Chilling in Villager Hall.png|400px]] [[File:Gonmoose at Pangaea 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By December 2021, [[Laztec]]--the OOW's most recent member at the time--would propose the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign, in which he aimed to clean up and repair much of spawn through a variety of different methods. Ostrich1414 personally loved this idea, and felt that their first course of action should be the removal of spawn's excessive water flooding. Thus, the two began to pull together a team of players dedicated to removing spawn's laggy water, with Laztec constructing numerous flying machines capable of removing large amounts of water at once. By mid December, the MSGA had managed to remove a massive section of water at spawn thanks to these efforts.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between December 2021 and January 2022, ostrich1414's newfound lifestyle of peace and neutrality, emphasized by his focus on OOW projects, had led him to enjoy SimPvP more than he had months prior. On January 4th, 2022, the Order of Wilbur officially left the G.S.F.W. in order to focus on its new commitment to neutrality; only a few days later, both [[jake276493]] and [[MrNutInYourButt]] were jailed and banned for x-raying, removing the little conflict remaining for ostrich1414 and his group. Finally, it felt like things were looking up: the OOW was flourishing, and ostrich1414 was enjoying his time on the server, focusing on building up both Pangaea and New Yittrium, as well as the occasional spawn project with the OOW. SimPvP as a whole was also become far less toxic and dramatic than it had been before his month-long break, and, to ostrich1414, this felt like the beginning of a new era of harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:SimPvP New Year's Day 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Wholesome: 100==<br />
<br />
The first five months of 2022 quickly proved to be one of the most enjoyable periods of SimPvP for ostrich1414 in recent memory, thanks to the relatively peaceful state the server was in. During this time, ostrich1414 focused primarily on the growth and reformation of the Order of Wilbur, adding new members to the group and expanding its list of projects, from community work at spawn to base building. Ostrich1414 would once again assist Laztec with his MSGA campaign, helping to finish remove the massive water cube at spawn and destroy the many lavacasts at spawn using recently re-enabled TNT duping, as well as destroy the lavacast around the Snail and replacing it with a protective water cube. Furthermore, alongside TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22, ostrich1414 focused on establishing and expanding the Stonetown Memorial Hub, the OOW's private portal hub that features links to many old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. This project would persist over the course of several months, starting in January, with ostrich1414 adding new rooms and one-way portal links while TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22 helped him decorate.<br />
<br />

<br />
Ostrich1414 was also increasingly more active at his bases during early 2022, slowly regaining his motivation to build again after over a year of losing it. At New Yittrium, ostrich1414 focused on a project in which he flattened an entire savannah biome to one single y-level, then placing smooth stone slabs all over it. Inspired by the clear-cut borders of the location, ostrich1414 announced that his district at the base would become its own fully-independent, sovereign city-state known as the Republic of Wachusett. This sudden change soon inspired the rest of New Yittrium to do the same, with everyone establishing their own independent city-states and defining the international borders that separated them. This change to the base proved so great, in fact, that the members of New Yittrium decided to change its name to "Civitrium"; now, "New Yittrium" was just the name of MoWobbler's city-state, whereas "Civitrium" was the base as a whole. All the while, ostrich1414 would work on his own city-state, Wachusett, spending most of his time slabbing the flattened savannah and laying the groundwork for a new city atop it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Civitrium Gang February.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, he was also somewhat active at both Void City and Pangaea's successor, [[Kinabalu]]. At Void City, ostrich1414 would build for the first time in over a year, constructing a small apartment building originally designed by Korijenkins. Meanwhile, at Kinabalu, ostrich1414 would construct another one of his famous skyscrapers. Although his activity at Kinabalu would not be as great as at Civitrium's during this time, ostrich1414 had played a major role in founding the city back in February 2022, shortly after the abandonment of Pangaea due to poor security. Kinabalu, nonetheless, would flourish thanks to its many other active members, as would Void City, gaining a boost in building by April 2022.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void City April 9th.png|400px]] [[File:Early Kinabalu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Around this time, ostrich1414 would once again become majorly interested in basehunting, and spent much of April and May 2022 basehunting around the greater spawn region. In fact, much of the OOW was inspired to do the same, and the group had several large basehunting expeditions together. Ostrich1414 and his crew of basehunting Wilburians managed to discover many unique bases during this time, several of which had not been discovered yet. In fact, the Stonetown Memorial Hub that ostrich1414 had been working on would serve as a transportation / storage hub for particular basehunting endeavors.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Basehunting 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW Basehunting 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important event that would occur for ostrich1414 during this time was his reinstatement as admin on April 1st. Although he had originally not planned to ever return as admin again, he was persuaded to try once more by the other SimPvP admins, especially due to his difficulty of running the 2022 Map Art Competition as a non-admin. Nevertheless, the second-annual competition would once again prove to be a success, with eleven map arts being submitted in total and forty-four players coming to vote. Like last time, ostrich1414 would submit his own map art, ''Jules Winnfield'', which came in fourth place. Although ostrich1414 had strongly disliked being admin before, he found himself enjoying it far more this time, primarily due to the more "chill" atmosphere on SimPvP.<br />
<br />
[[File:2022 Map Art Competition Winners.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with a renewed love for SimPvP thanks to the friendlier environment, ostrich1414 found himself participating in several community events. He, along with several other Wilburians, were invited to the "3rd International Lord1 Day" on February 28th, hosted by the Church of Francis. He also aided GS Trading Co. with their removal of the lavacasts at end spawn, helping SkullerG hand-mine many of the lavacasts there over the course of a few months. He even took part in the small community spawn project run by SkullerG, known as "Fartopia", on May 6th. While ostrich1414 was far from being fully active and motivated, he was nonetheless enjoying SimPvP far more than he had in months, and was finally having fun again after nearly two years of server depression. It was truly Wholesome: 100 epic sauce fortnite Keanu Reeves (sorry).<br />
<br />

<br />
==Relapse into Stagnation==<br />
<br />
Although 2022 had been a significantly more enjoyable year for ostrich1414 overall, he once again found himself slipping into inactivity by the summer, an inactivity that only increased by the fall. While this inactivity was due to real life responsibilities rather than a disillusionment with SimPvP, it nonetheless resulted in a much slower decline in activity for ostrich1414. Still, he found himself partaking in many server events, particularly alongside the Order of Wilbur.<br />
<br />
July 2022 would be both ostrich1414 and the OOW's most important month of that summer. On July 10th, both ostrich1414 and Laztec founded [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's latest spawn base. Thanks to changes in build depth and terrain generation brought on by SimPvP's transition to 1.18, the group was able to build underneath bedrock at y=0 to create a floating base in the void, something that was not possible before. Shortly after its founding, numerous other Wilburians joined and Shadow Grove grew to become a modest, yet beautifully unique base. It would also take credit as the host the OOW's most important event of the year.<br />
<br />
[[File:Shadow Grove 1.png|400px]] [[File:Shadow Grove 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur officially celebrated its eight year anniversary, something it had been unable to do a year prior. The celebration occurred in two parts: first, all OOW members met in Stonetown, alongside their Church of Francis allies, to exchange gifts and partake in events. Second, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where they hosted an OOW-exclusive celebration. Ostrich1414 would gift each member an individualized, handwritten book, thanking them for all their help in growing the clan, and for making 2022 its best year yet. Afterwards, ostrich1414 and several other members would move on to the build server, where they partook in helping [[Nebuelaz]] test his upcoming event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]]. Having successfully founded and run an eight year old clan, ostrich1414 was truly satisfied to see how far the OOW had come, with this celebration being a highlight of his year.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW 8 Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the promising start of the summer, ostrich1414 soon fell into a period of stagnation, characterized by a new lack of motivation and inactivity. This time, however, it was not brought on by server drama or toxicity, but a general sense of disinterest in SimPvP, and real life responsibilities. Still, ostrich1414 made time for the server, finding himself participating in community events and projects here and there. Ostrich1414 would aid Laztec in his latest spawn effort, a large obsidian structure known as Terabyte, in early August. Alongside several other Wilburians, ostrich1414 helped place obsidian to produce yet another magnificent obsidian build. Later, on August 17th, ostrich1414 would surprisingly join GS Trading Co.'s new base, [[Wasted Disk Space (WDS)]], after being brought there at random by SkullerG (although he would not be active here for the rest of the year). He would also attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration within the Church of Francis, joining as a Wilburian diplomat.<br />
<br />
[[File:Terabyte 1.png|400px]] [[File:MrDavid99 COF Inaguration.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
From September to October, however, ostrich1414 was relatively inactive. At most, he would help out around his three main bases--Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City--and run the OOW behind the scenes. Aside from minor work here and there at these bases, ostrich1414 had a decline in interest, and less time, during these months. It wasn't until November when he would enter a month-long hiatus, not returning to SimPvP until early December. Ironically, this hiatus helped spark a renewed interest within him: ostrich1414 would find himself aiding [[dacegod863]] with his revitalization efforts at [[Fern Springs]], an abandoned OOW base that ostrich1414 himself had founded with TuataraBoots back in March 2022. Still, while things were going much better for ostrich1414, his interest in SimPvP had been steadily waning, only seeing him participate in major server events and projects.<br />

The Order of Wilbur is the oldest and longest-running clan still active today on SimPvP, having been founded shortly after the tragic death of [[Wilbur]] the Pig on July 29th, 2014, in [[Stonetown]]. Starting off as a very secretive and secluded cult dedicated to worshipping the life of their holy martyr Wilbur, the clan has since evolved and morphed over the years into a much larger and more public organization, shying away from its strictly-religious roots and branching off into the realms of base building and spawn projects. Unlike many other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur has always been very exclusive in its membership, and has maintained a tight-knit community with shared goals and values.<br />

=Membership=<br />
<br />
For many years, the Order of Wilbur has kept its membership private and confidential from the public, maintaining a model of secrecy and exclusivity. However, as the clan has grown and evolved over the years, the ability to maintain this secrecy frequently came into question. As of December 9th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur began to publicly reveal its membership list, no longer keeping its members confidential from the rest of the server. However, unlike other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur does not have any ranks or hierarchies; everyone is equal.<br />

=Beliefs and Structure=<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has slowly begun to open itself up to the public over the years, the clan nevertheless keeps much of its inner workings secret, including its core beliefs and objectives. However, the Order of Wilbur has maintained two primary goals regarding the worship of its Divine Lord, [[Wilbur]]:<br />
<br />
*To honor, worship and promote the life and teachings of Wilbur the Pig, who was so quickly taken from us.<br />
*To connect with Wilbur's heavenly spirit through holy rituals and offerings.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur was originally founded as a religious cult, and still primarily operates as a religious cult, it has slowly shed this aspect of its identity over time and has embraced a more secular approach to its format. That being said, the clan still worships Wilbur as its one true god, and nearly every Wilburian operated or affiliated base has a temple or "sanctuary" built at it for worship. Wilburian temples typically follow a similar theme, embracing the colors of pink, red, yellow, and orange as its primary team colors--this often leads to temples harboring a "fiery" aesthetic, with heavy lava and nether brick usage. Wilbur is still regarded as the team's idol and mascot, and although members are not forced to engage in religious practices, the worship of Wilbur as an idol is encouraged. "The Life of Wilbur", a book written by [[ostrich1414]] in 2014 while stoned, is often regarded as the clan's holiest text.<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur believes heavily in equality and refuses to discriminate within its membership. There are currently no ranks and no hierarchy within the group. While ostrich1414, as the team's original founder and oldest active member, is often regarded as its de facto "leader", he is not officially the leader of the Order of Wilbur, and instead regards himself as an elder founder. Every member of the group is equal and decisions are often made democratically. Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur encourages individuality and self-expression among its members, never denying their freedom of speech and allowing all members to express themselves as Wilburians however they wish.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has historically been an isolated team and has engaged in several wars, it has since favored a more diplomatic and oftentimes pacifistic approach to its political outlook. The Order of Wilbur no longer wishes to engage in battles, griefs, or wars unless absolutely necessary, preferring to sit out of major political crises. The team's primary focus consists of base building and spawn projects, with many unique cities and structures under its belt over the years. In recent times, the team has dedicated itself to community efforts in and around the spawn region, as well as organizing both team events and large server events, as well as constructing breathtaking megacities and iconic spawn structures.<br />
<br />
In terms of membership, the Order of Wilbur is very exclusive, only inviting trusted and well-respected regular players into its inner circle. New players are not allowed to become Wilburians, and anyone interested in joining must first prove their worth through server activity, hard work, and respect. Furthermore, new recruits are often approached by Wilburians to join, rather than vice versa, and initiations into the clan typically occur at the their holiest city, [[Stonetown]], in the form of a minor ceremony. The Order of Wilbur prefers a "quality over quantity" approach with its membership, and has carefully crafted a catalogue of well-respected and influential members over the years. In fact, the Order of Wilbur has laid claim to more [[Admins]] than any other team on SimPvP: as of December 2021, the Order of Wilbur has had five admins within its membership, with four currently serving as members, and one being a former admin.<br />
<br />
=Registry of Holy Sites=<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur, as of September 2021, established its "Official Registry of Holy Sites"--bases, places, and locations on SimPvP that have inherent holy and historic value to the Order of Wilbur, its culture, and its beliefs. The only condition is that a Holy Site must no longer be active as a settlement. These locations are thus listed as "Holy Sites" and are recognized as important for preservation.<br />

<br />
==July 29th, 2014==<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014 in the small community of [[Stonetown]], player [[ostrich1414]] was on a mission to receive every achievement that Minecraft offered. As the achievements began to get more difficult, one of them stood out from the rest: "When Pigs Fly". To get this achievement, a player must ride atop a pig using a saddle and fly him off of a cliff, potentially killing both entities in the process. Thus, ostrich1414 went to pursue this goal as he searched the town for a seemingly harmless, innocent pig to use for his own desires.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The pig that ostrich1414 eventually found was named [[Wilbur]]: a pig who would soon become iconic. After mounting Wilbur and climbing up to the top of Stonetown's infamous Tree Dome, ostrich1414 pushed Wilbur forward and the two plummeted to their deaths, both dying upon impact.<br />
<br />
This death sparked server-wide controversy as players condemned ostrich1414 and his brutal actions which had resulted in Wilbur's murder. Almost immediately after the atrocity occurred, a memorial for Wilbur was constructed in both /world and in his hometown, Stonetown. A national mourning for his death was ordered and the date has since become that of legend.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Birth of a Cult==<br />
<br />
Immediately after the death of Wilbur, ostrich1414, with some help from [[JavelinFury]], established the Order of Wilbur in his honor. The Order of Wilbur was originally meant to be a highly secretive cult dedicated to worshipping Wilbur as a holy martyr, unjustly killed. For the first two years of its lifespan, the OOW was relatively quiet; only a handful of selected players were allowed to join the cult, including ostrich1414 and JavelinFury, as well as [[pippenger]], [[unclechain]], and [[INDIGO011]]. While membership was strict and exclusive, public knowledge of the cult was even more so: very few on the server were made aware of the OOW, and its rituals and values were kept secret. As Stonetown's activity soon waned and was eventually abandoned by late 2014, ostrich1414 still utilized the base as the OOW's headquarters, with it becoming the cult's unofficial capital city and holy ground.<br />
<br />
Between 2014 and 2015, the Order of Wilbur mostly constructed small temples around the server, usually in each new iteration of /world, and occasionally at bases and around spawn. It was also around this time in which ostrich1414 wrote the book "The Life of Wilbur" while high, a book which he has consistently regretted, but has since become a holy test for the clan. Nevertheless, the OOW's religious values were first and foremost for the cult, and while these were kept secret from the SimPvP public, ostrich1414, JavelinFury, and pippenger would occassionally leak information about it to draw curiosity from others. Unfortunately, by 2016, ostrich1414 had entered a long hiatus; this left the OOW largely inactive, with only JavelinFury involved with it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By 2017, ostrich1414 returned to the server in full force, eventually founding multiple bases and two new groups back-to-back: the [[United Alliance]] and [[The League]], both that same year. While the United Alliance and the League were separate individual clans with much larger, public presences on the server, they both accepted the Order of Wilbur as their primary religion of choice, and the cult secretly operated behind the scenes, establishing several temples--then known as "sanctuaries"--at both UA and League bases. The first major OOW "sanctuary" built in 2017 was at [[Quinsigamond]], followed shortly thereafter by [[Monarchia]], with both cities becoming major Wilburian strongholds. This would continue well into 2018, with the OOW functioning as a more public, yet still highly secretive and exclusive, religious cult.<br />
<br />
==Adapting to the Changes of 2019==<br />
<br />
In February of 2019, SimPvP entered an unprecedent player boom as hundreds of new players flocked to the server. By this point, the Order of Wilbur had been slowly growing in relevance and influence, and this new addition of players led the OOW to capitalize on their attention. By early 2019, [[Struthio]] was one of the defining cities of the time, and was also a major Wilburian powerhouse, with several temples scattered around the city. Later on, by May 2019, the city of [[Yittrium]] would be founded by both ostrich1414 and several of these new 2019 players, a few of whom were later accepted into the OOW as its newest generation of members. The largest Wilburian "sanctuary" yet would be established in Yittrium, and the city would quickly become the OOW's most powerful base yet, both in terms of influence and wealth. This also led the OOW to be catapulted into the server's spotlight as a major team. Despite this, the "secretive cult" aspect still largely remained, though it had begun to crumble as more publicity was brought to it.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioMay2019I.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Skyline WDL.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with this new player boom, and the OOW now becoming a major clan, some new religions would be founded in direct opposition to it. In early July 2019, the newly-established [[Church Of Fluz]] announced its public opposition to the Order of Wilbur and the prophet Wilbur himself. Originally created by [[TheOnlySlash]] and [[SirTashingdon]], the Church Of Fluz continued making blasphemous, defamatory remarks about the organization, thus forcing the Order of Wilbur to emerge from its secretive shadows and engage in a public rivalry with the Church (although the Church of Fluz would be a short-lived phenomenon, becoming inactive within a few months). The [[Church of Francis]] was another new religious organization formed in the summer of 2019 in August. Unlike the Church of Fluz, the Church of Francis established peaceful relations with the Order of Wilbur, and the two religions formed an alliance of mutual respect and worship. [[Lord1]], the church's founder, even went as far as to describe the two religions as "linked". Unfortunately, by October 2019, this good relationship would be fractured as war impended.<br />
<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]], which occurred between October 17th, 2019 - November 18th, 2019, was by far the most violent war in SimPvP history, with a series of bloody battles under its name. Ironically, it would be this war that would truly bring the Order of Wilbur into the limelight: prior to the war, the cult was rather secretive and isolationist, but this war catapulted the religion's interior organization and beliefs into the public eye.<br />
<br />
The war began on October 17th, 2019 when ostrich1414 declared war on the Church of Francis, seeing their growing size and influence as a threat to the Order of Wilbur as the server's dominant religion. Thus, a series of violent and destructive battles would occur throughout the duration of the war, with notable battles occurring in several cities like [[Castle Snowfrog]], [[Syracusai]], and [[Monarchia]]. While the Church of Francis would see a fair amount of victories in battle and acquired almost x2 more kills than the Wilburians, it was the Order of Wilbur that dominated the war, securing more victorious battles.<br />
<br />
[[File:WilburianAmryVictory.png|400px]] [[File:MonarchiaVictory1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur, due to its popularity, was able to secure and convert a much larger army of followers than the Church of Francis. The Wilburian army would be massive in size, with several battles dominating the Church of Francis in terms of player count. In fact, many soldiers who fought for the Order of Wilbur had previously been unaffiliated with the religion.<br />
<br />
On November 17th, 2019, on what is known as "V-Day", the Order of Wilbur emerged victorious after the Church of Francis surrendered following their most recent loss at the Battle of Syracusai. A massive peace conference and victory celebration was held at [[Virunum]], with ostrich1414 and Lord1, the Church of Francis General, signing a peace treaty together. This would be the most significant event in the history of the Order of Wilbur since the death of Wilbur, and their victory would prove their dominance over Francis and as the server's main religion. This would also plunge the Order of Wilbur into the public eye, making it less-secretive than it once had been.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 2.png|400px]] [[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Post-War Incidents of 2020==<br />
<br />
After the Order of Wilbur's victory during the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, a temporary period of peaceful reconstruction occurred between the two religions. Lord1 was invited to Yittrium in December 2019, which was a major Wilburian city, and both Lord1 and ostrich1414 had plans of making a joint Wilburian-Francillian temple there together. However, this period of peace between Wilburians and Francillians was cut short: between January 15th, and 17th, 2020, [[The Sigil Conflict]] occurred, which primarily resulted due to the resurgence of the rivalry. After the Church of Francis's [[Sigil]] temple was vandalized with pro-Wilburian propaganda, Lord1 initiated an assault on the city, annexing it for the Church of Francis and instigating a two-day religious conflict. This culminated in ostrich1414 arriving at the city, destroying the temple in the name of Wilbur, and fighting the Francillian occupants. While the Sigil Conflict would ultimately end in peace, this incident reignited the rivalry between the two factions.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]] [[File:Sigil Peace.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Another major incident occurred between April 15th and April 16th, this time in the Order of Wilbur's holy city, Stonetown. [[The Stonetown Incident]], once again between the Church of Francis and the Order of Wilbur, occurred when Lord1 attempted to fully annex the town for the Church of Francis, upon the gifting of the town's deed by [[Porkington]]. This was taken as an act of hostility by members of the Order of Wilbur, who reacted with anger and reclaimed Stonetown, threatening the Francillians. A back-and-forth of re-annexations occurred between the two religions, until the possibility of yet another war neared on the horizon. To prevent another war, Lord1 and ostrich1414 met at the neutral base [[Verillium]] to establish peace and identify Stonetown as a neutral base due to its sacred nature.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 4.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur==<br />
<br />
Between January 24th and May 6th, 2020, the Order of Wilbur saw the rise and progression of its first and largest city to date: the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], a.k.a. "Wilburia". The concept for a new Wilburian religious capital had been on ostrich1414's mind for years, but after the raid of Yittrium in January 5th, he was finally compelled to create Wilburia as a testament to his religious devotion. Ostrich1414 invited [[Zepheron]], [[cheesy_chips22]], and Porkington--three major devout Wilburians--to aid him in constructing the city.<br />
<br />
[[File:OG Wilburia Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Wilburia became known for the massive statue of Wilbur that served as the city's centerpiece, standing atop an ornate pedestal. Other major Wilburian landmarks included the religion's largest (and tallest) temple and a museum that house several significant items, ranging from Wilbur's original drops to Holy War artifacts. Wilburia was also an industrial powerhouse: it became one of the wealthiest, most powerful bases of its time, and propelled itself to the forefront of SimPvP politics. The Order of Wilbur's first major city was a success, and was growing rapidly.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia 3.png|400px]] [[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this success would be cut short when on May 6th, 2020, [[AntHand]] and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] discovered and annexed Wilburia. This angered its members severely, who protested the annexation and completely abandoned the city, moving on to new things. While the city luckily avoided griefing, it was largely looted for its remaining resources, and was considered fully abandoned and nonoperational, marking the end of the Order of Wilbur's powerhouse megacity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Destruction and Forgiveness==<br />
<br />
After the fall of Wilburia, the Order of Wilbur entered a small period of stagnation as many of its major members went on a hiatus or focused on other opportunities. By the summer of 2020, many Wilburians were involved in [[The Republic]], a newly-formed group dedicated solely to opposing Lord1 and even the Church of Francis itself. Since many Wilburians still harbored a hatred for the Church of Francis, they found the Republic to be a suitable home, including ostrich1414 and Zepheron themselves.<br />
<br />
Of course, this affiliation would have tragic results. After the Republic griefed [[Two Words]], the Church of Francis' main base at the time, Lord1 decided to retaliate by targeting Stonetown--the most sacred base in the Order of Wilbur, as well as one of the longest-lasting bases on SimPvP. After six years of remaining upkept, the Church of Francis had effectively destroyed Stonetown on June 23rd, 2020, reducing the holiest city in the religion to ashes. This action became immediately controversial, and left many Wilburians furious.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the Republic-Church of Francis beef would soon wane into obscurity, and by the fall of 2020, the Order of Wilbur was back to its period of stagnation. Meanwhile, the Church of Francis had been growing much larger, even establishing an empire. In the eyes of many Wilburians, this left them to view the Church of Francis as increasingly aggressive and imperialistic, only further straining their longtime rivalry. The last major incident between the two religions would occur on September 15th, 2020, when ElectricChugg was harassed and killed by several Francillians. Enraged by their actions and aggressions, ostrich1414 finally decided to retaliate and called for an organized battle to be held, the first armed conflict between Wilburians and Francillians since the Holy Wilbur-Francis War almost a year prior. Thus ensued the [[Battle of Swampland]], a major battle between Francillians Lord1, James8B, and xexc versus Wilburians ostrich1414, [[MoWobbler]], and ElectricChugg. Fought entirely in a swamp biome near spawn, the battle would rage on for nearly an hour. The only death would be ElectricChugg at the hands of Lord1, and eventually ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were forced to flee. This would result in a Church of Francis victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, as time went on, the two often-warring sides were beginning to open up to prospects of peace. On November 18th, 2020, the first major peace conference between the two would occur in the form of the one-year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War. Representatives of both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis both met in Verillium to celebrate both the end of the war and to admit to wrongdoings of the past. For the first time ever, both parties apologized for war crimes, griefs, and petty actions, with the first signs of peace beginning to blossom between the two.<br />
<br />
[[File:Holy War One Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:Holy War One Year 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==New Temples==<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the Order of Wilbur would begin to put more focus on individual structures in its catalogue. In August 2020, [[Zepheron]] founded what is known as "The Grand Sanctuary", a massive Wilburian temple located in the middle of a forest. Although largely unfinished, the current temple stands at an impressive size, with a design hearkening back to [[Strawman Temple]]. The temple consists of a columned Romanesque tomb-like building with pillars and Wilburian memoribilia everywhere. Originally, Zepheron anticipated the construction of a massive domed extension behind the current Grand Sanctuary, but it was unfortunately never completed.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Grand Sanctuary 1.png|400px]] [[File:The Grand Sanctuary 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After many months of no real progress, the Order of Wilbur finally bounced back when it decided to construct its first temple in the greater [[spawn]] region on December 3rd, 2020. Located in the middle of an ocean, ostrich1414, MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]] all worked to create a massive temple known as [[Suidae Temple]]. This structure would be unique for its composition of nine "tubes" all arranged in a 3x3 grid pattern, raising upwards with domes capping them off. The interior of the temple would contain systematic bridges sweeping through each leveled tube, as well as many religious memorabilia and monuments to Wilbur.<br />
<br />
[[File:Suidae Temple Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Suidae Temple Shader 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Both the Grand Sanctuary Suidae Temple would mark the Order of Wilbur's first foray into influencing spawn, something the Church of Francis had been steadily doing throughout the latter half of 2020, as well as the creation of brand new places of worship. These would also be the Order of Wilbur's first major construction projects since the City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur had fallen.<br />
<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur would officially participate in its second major war against the Church of Francis, more than a year after the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, upon the declaration of [[The Imperial War]]. Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur joined the People's Coalition as a founding member, a loose collective of various groups dedicated to waging war against the Francillians. Although the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had begun to see some signs of peace in late 2020, many players, including ostrich1414 himself, had become fed up with the Francillians' imperialistic virtues and their increasingly more erratic behavior. After [[Sellout9]] and SimCoin were killed in /world by the Francillians, however, ostrich1414 was urged to gather an army of like-minded SimPvP players and unite against the Church of Francis, as the People's Coalition declared war against them on December 10th.<br />
<br />
[[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Imperial War was much more chaotic, destructive, and hate-filled. Numerous griefs took place throughout the duration of the war: the People's Coalition griefed two Francillian outposts, Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle, on the day of the war declaration, with the Church of Francis responding by griefing [[New Oberstein]], and then [[Tol Honeth]], the next two days. The first half of the war was largely characterized by this strategy, with back-and-forth griefs between the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis--however, at first, many of the griefed bases were inactive or abandoned. Soon, Bitchport, New Brunoland, GS Base #1, RBC Spawn Base, McCapital, and [[Florestria]] would follow suit, all being griefed by both parties. Of course, many battles would take place as well, mostly located in /world or nearby spawn. Despite most of these battles being small skirmishes or ambushes, the largest battle would take place on December 17th in /world, in which a large number of troops from both sides would meet and fight--although there would be no clear victor.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war would become much more chaotic and personally devastating to those affected. This began when the Church of Francis targeted and raided [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first active city to be affected by the war. This left numerous members of the People's Coalition homeless and angry, with tensions and bitterness soaring. The People's Coalition would hit back by griefing [[Swaglabs]], with which the Church of Francis would respond by griefing Axetown. However, the breaking point would occur on January 11th, 2021, when the People's Coalition made a surprise ambush by raiding and annexing [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main city. The base was discovered by AntHand, using a then-secret wolf tracking exploit, rendering the otherwise secure base defenseless. This made Lord1 and the rest of the Church of Francis furious, with tensions now reaching a boiling point. Things only worsened when the People's Coalition raided [[Pepe's Holy Land]] seven days later, another secure Francillian base. Although the battles and skirmishes had completely halted by this point, tensions flared between both affected parties.<br />
<br />
[[File:Swaglabs Grief 2.png|400px]] [[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, on January 28th, 2021, peace would be made. After over a week of negotiations and peace talks between the two warring parties, agreements were finally reached. Both the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis were drained and disillusioned by the war: what had started as a seemingly tongue-in-cheek conflict had grown into a truly devastating crisis, leaving many homeless and angry. Now that the war was over, representatives from both parties met at Gibraltar Castle to finalize the peace agreements, thus ending the Imperial War for good. The Order of Wilbur promptly departed from the People's Coalition, with one of their agreements in the peace talks to never initiate war with the Church of Francis again.<br />
<br />
[[File:Imperial War Peace 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Reconstruction==<br />
<br />
After the Imperial War had finally ended, the Order of Wilbur entered a period of moderate reconstruction. Their long-time rivalry with the Church of Francis (now the Holy States of Francis) had culminated into two wars, a series of conflicts and battles, and all-around bitterness and toxicity between members. By this point, ostrich1414 had grown weary of the rivalry, and desired a true state of peace between the two entities.<br />
<br />
On February 15th, 2021, ostrich1414 founded [[Riverwood]], a small town with the goal of recruiting new players and helping to get them started on the server. Within the first week, Riverwood had successfully recruited over a dozen new players, all of whom assisted in expanding and growing the town significantly. Seeing this as an opportunity to finally promote peace and unity, the Order of Wilbur and the Holy States of Francis agreed to use Riverwood as a joint base for just that, with each constructing a temple within the town. For the first time ever, a Francillian and a Wilburian temple existed in harmony in the same location; Lord1 and ostrich1414 used this as a means to showcase the importance of unity and respect to their new recruits, many of whom quickly excelled on the server. Despite these initial gains, however, Riverwood would slowly fall into a period of inactivity by March--but its peace with the Francillians remained.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
For almost two years now, the Order of Wilbur had stayed from its initial purpose as a "secretive cult" and had become engrossed in the server's limelight through many major incidents with the Holy States of Francis. Ostrich1414 had a desire to bring the organization back to its roots, wanting to descend the Order of Wilbur back into the shadows as SimPvP's most exclusive religious group. As such, a few new members were initiated and plans were drafted for brand new community projects, akin to Suidae Temple. The first of these projects would be the refurbishment of a public spawn / end spawn portal used by many players; ostrich1414 and [[willowienal]] cleaned up the spawn side of it, making it look much nicer and adding new amenities. The group had also begun to make several changes to its internal infrastructure, putting an emphasis on community building projects over military prowess.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==São Porco==<br />
<br />
Ever since the fall of Wilburia in May 2020, the Order of Wilbur had lacked an official headquarters. This would change on April 19th, 2021, when cheesy_chips22 returned to the server after a long hiatus and reunited with ostrich1414, and the two founded the city of [[São Porco]]. Unlike Wilburia before it, São Porco would be a new Wilburian capital city with an immensely different theme and aesthetic: it is largely influenced by Brazilian architecture and inspired by coastal, tropical cities within the country, including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Settling on a jungle biome along the ocean, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 set to work, recruiting a number of Wilburian members and close allies to join as farms and builds immediately sprung up.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Gang 1.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Embracing the new Brazilian/South American theme, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 headed construction of Vila Porta, a rustic tropical village along the coast, centered around the city's portal hub. Underneath this village, MoWobbler would create a massive, sprawling sewer system composed of mazes, tunnels, traps, hidden rooms, and an underground city. [[Bruno_vera]] would assist with this project and establish a series of catacombs within the sewer system. Meanwhile, [[GentleGiant69]], [[ElectricChugg]], and willowienal would focus on broadening São Porco's collection of farms; some of these high-quality farms include a ghast tear farm, a wither skeleton farm, an iron farm, a mob farm, a totem farm, a bartering farm, and more, as well as SkullerG's five-level gold farm. Nearby Vila Porta, a dense district primarily composed of skyscrapers would develop, containing the city's main storage facility. However, most notably, cheesy_chips22 would work on São Porco's most anticipated project, its hillside favelas, sprawling randomly along the rugged man-made mountains along the coast. Unlike Wilburia's more calculated city aesthetic, São Porco would become a much more community-driven capital for the Order of Wilbur.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Alliance with Francis and the G.S.F.W.==<br />
<br />
Historically, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had been bitter rivals, having gone to war twice and participating in a number of griefs and battles against each other by mid-2021. However, in post-Imperial War SimPvP, the overall climate was changing as the two enemies slowly began to warm up to each other. This progression towards comradery was catapulted by their joint base Riverwood in February, as well as the COF's focus on the [[Confederacy-Francis War]] starting in May, giving them a new rival to engage with--the [[Confederacy of Man]]. Furthermore, both the OOW and COF's long-term goals were becoming more similar: to shy away from drama and focus more community-driven build projects. Of course, the thing that truly helped were the personal relationships shared between many members of both teams, as players were far more friendly with each other than bitter.<br />
<br />
On June 7th, 2021, a historic moment was made when, for the first time in over two years as warring enemies, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis became official allies. A peace conference was held at a site a few thousand blocks away from [[Quabbin]], to which several members from both groups arrived to accept the new era of peace they were entering into. At the conference, the two teams would apologize for past wrongdoings and propose ideas for future joint endeavors to strengthen their bond as allies, as well as establishing overall objectives for their new alliance. Ostrich1414 and Lord1, as heads of their respective teams, would proceed to sign a formal and official peace treaty, which was then distributed to all Wilburians and Francillians alike.<br />
<br />

<br />
Shortly after the alliance, both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis would engage in talks with [[GS Trading Co.]] (a team which both the OOW and COF were already closely allied with) to establish a potential super-alliance. This new coalition was eventually founded in late June, known by the simple title of "[[G.S.F.W.]]", referencing the names of each participating team. Although the three powers had grand plans to work on collaborative bases and projects together, these plans were quickly put to the side as a new threat suddenly loomed over the group: YMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]]. Although the Order of Wilbur and GS Trading Co. had been on good terms with YMP for a while, their sudden formal alliance with the COF (a team which YMP still hated) caused them to be roped into a sudden conflict. While the origins of this conflict are complicated, it largely began after the COF and GS griefed Cope Town on July 10th, a base founded by YMP members [[1590283112]] and [[DKC]]; however, even before this, YMP had griefed Riverwood on June 29th, which, although long since abandoned by then, was a shared base between the OOW and COF.<br />
<br />
By early August, it was apparent that another era of drama was coming, although unlike the Imperial War when the Order of Wilbur took an active approach in perpetuating it, they were this time largely uninterested in engaging with diplomatic crises. With both YMP and even the Confederacy of Man still engaging in conflict with the COF and GS, ostrich1414, on behalf of the Order of Wilbur, attempted to use his goodwill with COM leader [[Nikoxlas]] to stage peace talks between the two teams at Yittrium on August 7th. Unfortunately, this would go nowhere, and constant battles and ambushes in /world between YMP/COM and GS/COF/OOW would occur. On August 23rd, 2021, YMP would grief GS Trading Co.'s abandoned former capital, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]]--a base which had also housed Wilburians ostrich1414 and MoWobbler. This was met with a swift response by G.S.F.W., who retaliated by targeting an abandoned YMP base, Skyreach, that very same night.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COM Conference.png|400px]] [[File:Skyreach Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Shortly after these two back-to-back griefs, YMP would declare war on GS Trading Co., the Church of Francis, and the Order of Wilbur, respectively; however, none of these teams would recognize this war, and refused to respond with a counter-declaration. Nevertheless, this sudden conflict and ensuing drama worked to bring the members of G.S.F.W. closer together than ever, making it one of the most sturdy and powerful alliances in modern SimPvP history.<br />
<br />
==A Crippling Conflict==<br />
<br />
Despite the Order of Wilbur being adamant on staying out of the conflict with YMP, preferring to maintain diplomacy over war, it would constantly find itself dragged in, whether through its alliance in G.S.F.W. or through the aggression of YMP. Wilburians would often find /world to be too hostile to use, regularly getting ambushed and attacked by YMP members. However, their worst hit of the conflict would occur due to the serious security risks imposed at São Porco. Although bruno_vera had been both a member of São Porco and the Order of Wilbur for several months, he was also a member of YMP, and it was becoming clear that his priorities lay more with YMP than the Wilburians. This seriously worried the other members of the base, who felt that bruno_vera would become a liability and eventually leak the city--and this was not an unfound concern, as YMP had made several threats against São Porco throughout the conflict. This paranoia reached its boiling point when several key members of São Porco held serious reason to believe that bruno_vera had betrayed them and the city in favor of YMP; not wanting to risk the city falling into their hands, the members instead opted to loot the entire city, grief it, and abandon it. Thus, on August 28th, 2021, São Porco was severely griefed by a few of its members and promptly abandoned, while bruno_vera was officially kicked from the clan.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although the opportunity for YMP to grief São Porco had ended, the Order of Wilbur was nonetheless devastated by the loss of its capital city, being forced to relocate to a temporary location underground. They would eventually move to a new, more secure location much further out, establishing their newest capital city, [[New Yittrium]], on September 4th. All the while, the conflict between G.S.F.W. and YMP would continue, eventually culminating into the most severe casualty when, on September 21st, 2021, GS Trading Co.'s main base was raided and griefed by YMP, promptly ending GS's dominance on the server. This created a major rift within the G.S.F.W. as many GS members left the server, leaving it more COF and OOW dominated. Nevertheless, the conflict, which would ultimately go on to be known as [[The GS YMP Conflict of 2021]], would dissolve into an unofficial armistice as hostilities ended by October 2021.<br />
<br />
[[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Not wanting to be restricted by the conflict, the Order of Wilbur instead opted to be defiant of the toxicity and hostility, and founded its first major spawn base in months. On August 21st, 2021, ostrich1414 and [[AntiFreezeFluid]] would found the city of [[Gosnold]], located on an island roughly 7.6k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the Order of Wilbur were determined to make it both the largest and most luxurious city in the greater spawn region, modeling the city off of other iconic Wilburian megacities like Yittrium and Quabbin. Gosnold would consist primarily of tall concrete skyscrapers, many of which were built by both ostrich1414 and AntiFreezeFluid themselves. However, all Wilburians were invited to join the city, and eventually the city was opened up to all G.S.F.W. members. Outside of Wilburians, several Francillians would arrive at the city to build, and it became the second joint Wilburian-Francillian city in SimPvP history. The city's skyline was soon dotted by a plethora of unique skyscrapers, as well as temples for both the OOW and COF, a few basic farms, and its central city hall. Willowienal would even begin work on a massive stone statue of Jesus Christ nearby the city's shores.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold Chillin 1.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold Boolin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Gosnold's inevitable demise would come sooner rather than later, and the Order of Wilbur were unable to completely ignore the ongoing hostilities of the conflict. In what would largely become the last major event of the declining G.S.F.W. / YMP conflict, the Order of Wilbur received intel that YMP was actively searching for Gosnold, determined to destroy it. The city had been growing significantly throughout September 2021, but on October 1st, all that would change--and, ironically, not from YMP. [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]] were discovered severely griefing Gosnold, block-by-block, until each skyscraper was completely dismantled, as if nothing was there. The Operators were discovered in the midst of their grief by 1590283112, and a battle thus ensued, with vv101zeli and jake276493 soon arriving to assist 1590283112 against the Operators. Unfortunately, Gosnold would be severely and utterly griefed, although not in the traditional sense; roughly three-quarters of its cityscape was removed by the Operators, leaving behind a hollow shell of what was once spawn's most unique city.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
With the self-grief of São Porco, the dismantling of Gosnold, and the numerous ambushes and attacks at the hands of YMP, as well as the degredation of their allies, the Order of Wilbur had suffered significantly from a conflict in which they never wanted to participate in. Because of this, many Wilburians were left in a depressive state, discouraged by the conflict that had ravaged them.<br />
<br />
==The Wilburian Reformation==<br />
<br />
Between mid October 2021 and mid November 2021, the Order of Wilbur entered a temporary state of demoralization and inactivity due to the immense trauma from the conflict with YMP, and the overall toxic state of the server. Several Wilburians relocated from SimPvP to another semi-anarchy Minecraft server known as Uneasy Vanilla during this time, while the remainder kept quiet on SimPvP. Despite this brief break, the team would once again regroup in mid November following their return from Uneasy Vanilla, noticing that the server climate had slightly improved during their break.<br />
<br />
Thanks to a high-output obsidian farm at New Yittrium, GentleGiant69 and ostrich1414 devised a plan to put their surplus reserves of obsidian to good use, in the form of massive statues and structures around spawn. On November 23rd, the OOW constructed a large obsidian T-rex, their first major spawn project since Gosnold. The next day, however, they would begin construction on their magnum opus: the [[Snail]]. Consisting of over 177,000 blocks of obsidian, and completely solid, this massive obsidian snail statue would instantly becoming the largest obsidian structure at SimPvP spawn. The project itself became a serverwide sensation, drawing over twenty participants, all aiding in the construction of the statue and the placement of obsidian. Between November 24th and 26th, the Snail was miraculously completed, even despite facing the threat of several battles that occurred on site. Thanks to their success, both the T-rex and Snail statues would revitalize the OOW's motivation for SimPvP and help reform them into a group with new goals and aspirations.<br />
<br />
[[File:T-Rex Statue.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 1.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By this point, the Order of Wilbur was slowly growing into a more public and accepting clan, although it still kept a tight grip on its exclusivity. The emphasis on religion that had been there since 2014 had been slowly waning over time, and a new period of focus on base building and spawn projects was becoming more apparent. By December 9th, the OOW would officially release their member list to the public, a first for the clan in SimPvP history. This would come after the acceptance of a few new members, adding to the team's growth.<br />
<br />
On November 27th, the Order of Wilbur would once again fund another major base when ostrich1414 helped establish several players from Uneasy Vanilla, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Along with [[LidGuy]], these seven players moved much further out and eventually settled on a coastal area, founding a new city known as [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become an affiliated base of the OOW, and several other Wilburians would arrive to help build at the city, including MoWobbler, ElectricChugg, GentleGiant69, [[Laztec]], and willowienal. Thanks to their obsidian farm, the Wilburians helped fund Pangaea's three-layer gold farm, as well as several skyscrapers and other buildings and farms. Over the course of the next few months, Pangaea would flourish in activity and progress, becoming a much larger city complete with a diverse set of builds in different architectural styles. It would also house many other non-Wilburians who would help contribute to the city's growth.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pangaea Skyline January 29.png|400px]] [[File:Chilling in Villager Hall.png|400px]] [[File:Gonmoose at Pangaea 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the OOW's greatest achievement during this period of internal reformation would occur between early to mid December 2021, thanks to Laztec's introduction of the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign. This campaign was determined to repair spawn through a variety of different methods, from clearing lavacasts to fixing highways; however, the first step the MSGA campaign would take under both Laztec and ostrich1414's supervision was the "Water Removal" project, in which the OOW and their allies focused on removing spawn's excessive water flooding in an effort to reduce FPS lag. By December 15th, the MSGA had been successful, clearing a large portion of spawn's largest water pocket thanks to a combined effort of Laztec constructing water-eating machines and the manual use of sponges and other solid blocks.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to the success of these many OOW-led spawn projects, as well as a few other secret ones, the group felt that they were establishing a new purpose for themselves. Furthermore, the team was unanimously opposed to drama and conflict; the toxicity of 2021, especially the conflict with YMP, had soured their interest in server politics, and by 2022, they had all but embraced neutrality. Despite this, they were still official members of the G.S.F.W., a super-alliance that did not feel fully neutral and was once again being targeted by YMP. Wanting to fully express their neutrality and focus on themselves as a group, and their own personal goals and objectives away from SimPvP politics and drama, the OOW officially withdrew from the G.S.F.W on January 4th, 2022 thanks to a unanimous decision from its members, effectively ending the alliance.<br />
<br />
Once again free to keep to themselves, the OOW had many projects to focus on. Void City, New Yittrium, and Pangaea were prospering cities, growing in size and wealth, and the group's many other side projects were keeping them busy and motivated. TuataraBoots and ostrich1414 would take charge in the creation of a secure portal hub explicitly for use by Wilburians, using a series of one-ways to bring them to several bases. Other projects would be devised and planned, with Laztec even announcing the future continuation of the MSGA campaign. It was clear to many that the Order of Wilbur had emerged from the ashes of trauma and depression and had bloomed once again, experiencing a major reformation as a group and, arguably, entering a new renaissance period.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Memorial Hub.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Continued Prosperity==<br />
<br />
As the Wilburian Reformation period continued, with new members being added to the group and new projects being planned and constructed, the Order of Wilbur was immersed in its most prosperous period yet. Fortunately, the first few months of 2022 would prove to be the most peaceful era of SimPvP in years, and the OOW's new objectives of staying neutral and peaceful allowed them to flourish and focus on numerous projects, from more work at spawn to base building and recruitment.<br />
<br />
Laztec's trademark MSGA campaign would continue under the Order of Wilbur's supervision and funding, although a new multi-clan organization, known as [[The Federation]], would be founded by Laztec on February 20th to centralize these spawn efforts. The water removal campaign continued on throughout January and into February, with "Phase II" of the MSGA taking hold after a short hiatus. After the team managed to remove a large chunk of SimPvP spawn's water, Laztec focused his efforts on setting up TNT dupers to destroy spawn's many lavacasts (thanks to the recent re-addition of TNT duping at spawn). One major project for the MSGA involved the clearing of lavacasts covering the Snail, the OOW's other major project months prior. Once the casts were cleared, Laztec and ostrich1414 headed a massive community project that involved the water-cubing of the entire Snail; essentially, all of the Snail was now underwater, preventing it from being lavacasted effectively. Unfortunately, due to the opposition of some players like TheOnlySlash and bruno_vera, many of the lavacasts destroyed by the MSGA were quickly replaced.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Water Removal Squad.png|400px]] [[File:Laztec on a TNT Duper.png|400px]] [[File:Watercubed Snail.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects, many Wilburian bases entered a period of growth and prosperity. Although the city of Pangaea had become a major security risk (having been discovered by two different players twice) and was promptly abandoned, the core members of the city would move on to found a brand new city, even bigger, better, and more secure than Pangaea: [[Kinabalu]]. Primarily made up of OOW members and a few other outside allies from Pangaea, Kinabalu would become another massive modern city for the group, boasting several sleek skyscrapers, high-powered farms, and other beautiful builds. Cheesy_chips22's medieval neighborhood would become a defining feature of the city, as well as LidGuy's skyscraper district and Laztec's massive villager breeding complex, Breed Corp. Unlike Pangaea, which largely functioned as a recruit base and had no real city planning, Kinabalu blossomed as a well-planned, self-sufficient city, become one of the OOW's major components.<br />
<br />
[[File:Early Kinabalu.png|400px]] [[File:AntiFreezeFluid Kinabalu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, the OOW's capital city, New Yittrium, would be thriving as well during this period. Already having created many high-tech farms thanks to GentleGiant69 and ElectricChugg, the city finally began to focus more on aesthetic builds by late March 2022. In fact, New Yittrium would undergo a massive restructuring process by April, going so far as to reshape its entire identity and rename itself. New Yittrium would subsequently change its name to "Civitrium", with the name "New Yittrium" now belonging solely to MoWobbler's district--in fact, Civitrium was now made up of several sovereign city-states, with each city-state having its own name and aesthetic. Civitrium was now the name for the "continent" in which these city-states existed, or the base overall, and each city-state established borders amongst each other. Outside of these changes, the city continued to flourish, quickly becoming the OOW's wealthiest city to date.<br />
<br />
[[File:Civitrium Gang February.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The OOW's two other staple cities, [[Void City]] and [[Nova Aeterna]], also experienced growth. While Void City had been relatively stagnant for some time, it experienced another building boom by April, with Korijenkins, TheOnlySlash, and ostrich1414 contributing new builds. Meanwhile, DakkaDok would work diligently on growing and expanding Nova Aeterna, his latest endeavor in the "Nos Astra" series of bases. Void City and Civitrium would form a very close trade relationship during this time, with ostrich1414 and Korijenkins consistently trading between themselves to contribute to the growth of each base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void City April 9th.png|400px]] [[File:NovA 25 2 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects and bases, the OOW would grow closer as a community. One common activity that the group engaged in frequently together was basehunting, mostly around the greater spawn region. This was largely inspired by the growth of the OOW's private portal hub, known as the Stonetown Portal Hub, which housed access to numerous old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. In fact, the hub itself would become a long-term project for the team, with ostrich1414, TuataraBoots, cheesy_chips22, and LidGuy all investing in its construction and expansion, including new links, new rooms, and new sections. Thanks to all of the above, the OOW's internal community would become its strongest yet, and the constant upward trajectory of the group enabled it to grow closer than ever before. Of course, the OOW would still occasionally participate in other community events, from the COF's "3rd Annual International Lord1 Day" party in February to assisting the GS-sponsored reparation of end spawn throughout February to April.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Basehunting 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW Basehunting 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW Stonetown Lava.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Complacency==<br />
<br />
After many months of increased growth and prosperity thanks to the Wilburian Reformation, the Order of Wilbur would finally enter a slower period by the start of summer in 2022. Large spawn projects and community events hosted by the OOW would quietly diminish as the group began focusing on their own bases, with Civitrium and Kinabalu especially growing during this period of time. Although June would be a relatively quiet month for the team, July would become one of their most important. The month would begin with the founding of [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's newest community project. Founded on July 10th by ostrich1414 and Laztec, Shadow Grove was unique for taking advantage of a new feature brought to SimPvP thanks to the upgrade to 1.18: building under bedrock. Due to new changes in build depth and terrain generation, the group could now build in the void under bedrock. Thus, Shadow Grove was born: a small, rustic base located not far from spawn, floating within the void under bedrock. Although Shadow Grove would grow modestly, with a few Wilburians working on the base, it would become the site of the group's most important celebration yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Shadow Grove 1.png|400px]] [[File:Shadow Grove 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur would celebrate its eight year anniversary at two locations: first, at Stonetown alongside the Church of Francis, and second, at Shadow Grove, exclusive for Wilburians. This was an important moment for the OOW: not only was it celebrating eight years of existence (the longest of any clan on SimPvP), but it was the first time that the OOW was able to celebrate its anniversary in years, being unable to do so in 2021 due to the crisis with YMP. At Stonetown, the OOW would celebrate alongside their allies, the Church of Francis, exchanging gifts and partaking in other events. Then, shortly afterwards, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where every member was given an individualized, handwritten book from ostrich1414, among other gifts. The celebrations concluded with the OOW moving to the build server, helping Nebuelaz work on testing his then-in-progress event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]].<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW 8 Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The next few months would steadily slow down for the OOW as members lapsed into periods of inactivity, or focused on building their bases, but community events and projects would still occur. Laztec would lead the construction of two more massive obsidian structures in early August: Terabyte and Millennium Bridge. Although Terabyte was a bit smaller in scale, and primarily constructed by Wilburians, Millennium Bridge was a behemoth of a project that required the assistance of numerous helpers outside the OOW, easily becoming the largest obsidian structure in SimPvP history at nearly 1,200 blocks long and around 175,000 total obsidian. Unfortunately, Millennium Bridge would also become the target of terrorist attacks throughout the month, primarily at the hands of [[Goujon]] and [[f8tal]], both of whom lavacasted and withered it. Outside of these two projects, however, the OOW's involvement in large-scale community projects would decline.<br />
<br />
[[File:Terabyte 1.png|400px]] [[File:Terabyte 2.png|400px]] [[File:BridgeRender2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to its staunch emphasis on neutrality, the OOW would entirely avoid involvement in [[The Dominion-Francis Conflict]], which occurred throughout September to November 2022. Despite being closer allies with the Church of Francis, the OOW chose not to pick sides and largely remained uninvolved. Still, the group would continue to maintain friendly ties with the COF: ostrich1414 would attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration on September 3rd as a Wilburian diplomat, while Laztec would attend a summit between the COF and the Modern Communist Agency on October 19th. Another interesting occurrence was [[dacegod863]]'s decision to revitalize [[Fern Springs]], a forgotten and abandoned OOW spawn base that was originally founded by ostrich1414 and TuataraBoots in March 2022. Although the two had abandoned the base after one building, dacegod863 would start building there again in early December, breathing new life into the forgotten town and completely refreshing it, leading other Wilburians to return to the site and build. However, as a whole, the OOW had become much quieter by September, with most members focusing on their bases like Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City. After many exciting months of growth, progress, and projects, it began to appear as though the OOW was falling into a period of stagnation. This was proved further by ostrich1414's month-long hiatus in November, arguably the slowest month for the OOW of 2022. Although the year had been stellar for the group, the cracks were beginning to show.<br />

Ostrich1414 is a player and former admin who joined the server on December 27th, 2013. Although he has been on-and-off again regarding his activity online, he has stayed relatively loyal to both the server and his fellow teammates.<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 is noteworthy for being the server's only black player and one of its most frequent AFK players, as well as a dedicated Masshole and cynical shitposter with a self-deprecation problem.<br />
<br />
On October 16th, 2023, ostrich1414 would intentionally build and use a carpet duping machine in order to quit the server; he was subsequently jailed for duping and demoted.<br />

==A Legend Arrives==<br />
<br />
On the cold, snowy day of December 27th, 2013, player ostrich1414 logged onto SimPvP with his friend PlayaSwoop9. Looking for a vanilla server to grief and destroy people's work, the two headed away from the mangled mess of [[Spawn]], but didn't get far; they both died various times due to lack of food.<br />
<br />
At the time, ostrich1414 and PlayaSwoop9 were noobs and had no idea how to play Minecraft at all; they had both just recently gotten the game for the first time.<br />
<br />
However, a miracle would soon arrive: [[DeflowVesper]], an admin, helped lead the two noobs to safety, bringing them to [[Castle Snowfrog]] where they indulged in hundreds of melons and built a small, cobblestone cube to live in within the castle's grounds.<br />

PlayaSwoop9 later left the server and never returned, unimpressed by it. Ostrich1414, however, took a liking to it and stuck around Castle Snowfrog for a few weeks. Here, he developed a small friendship with snowfrog43 and helped to maintain the castle by farming and simply cleaning it up a bit.<br />
<br />
==Alliance with Pippenger==<br />
<br />
One day while in Castle Snowfrog, ostrich1414 began a conversation in the chat with a player named [[Pippenger]]. After talking for a few hours, where he educated ostrich1414 on Minecraft basics, Pippenger invited him to a base he was currently working on, known simply as "[[The Stomping Ground]]". Ostrich1414 traveled there and met up with Pippenger, who was working on the base alongside [[Mr._Hole_Digger]]. Construction on the base began around January 2014.<br />
<br />
Pippenger was very kind to ostrich1414, giving him the freedom to build whatever he wanted and a limitless supply of tools and materials for his creations. With these, ostrich1414 built a shitty house on the edge of a bay: his first "major" build on the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:SGI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Early that same year, ostrich1414 collaborated with pippenger once again, as well as Cdnam5, as they built [[Uinia]], a large castle near spawn; they also founded "The Noobtree Foundation", a short-lived organization dedicated to assisting new players and repairing spawn.<br />
<br />
[[File:UiniaIII.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==A Journey of Self==<br />
<br />
When The Stomping Ground began to dissolve and Uinia was completed, and work in general was slowed to an abrupt end, Pippenger left to tend to other bases while ostrich1414 decided to set out on his own. He eventually landed on a small island nearby spawn, where he constructed yet another shitty, unfinished cobblestone house. He stayed on this island for a short time, working on his appalling base by himself. The remnants of this base can still be seen today at x=13166 z=1795.<br />
<br />
While here, Pippenger asked him yet again to join his newest base: [[Stonetown]]. Ostrich1414 was eager to come and help and immediately departed from his island base, heading towards Stonetown.<br />
<br />
==Stonetown, Wilbur, and His Brief Hiatus==<br />
<br />
At Stonetown, ostrich1414 was able to grow into a much better player and builder. At this time, around early to mid-2014, ostrich1414 helped in the construction of a small town outside of a massive dome made out of dirt and covered in trees; using Pippenger's [[Imperial Architecture]], ostrich1414 was able to strengthen his building skills and constructed many of the town's buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014, ostrich1414 attempted to get the achievement "When Pigs Fly". He was trying to complete many of the existing Minecraft achievements and this seemed like one he could easily do. Grabbing a pig, whom he named "[[Wilbur]]", ostrich1414 headed to the top of the tree dome and climbed on top of Wilbur. The two fell to their death and all that remained was Wilbur's saddle and the carrot-on-a-stick. The brutal murder of Wilbur sparked outrage throughout the server, and a memorial was constructed in both Stonetown and in /world by ostrich1414. A secret cult, known as "[[The Order of Wilbur]]", was later established, and its headquarters remained in Stonetown. Not much is known about this secretive organization.<br />
<br />
When construction in Stonetown began to slow down and its members moved on to other things, ostrich1414 went on a brief hiatus, unsure if he would ever rejoin again.<br />
<br />
==He's Back! (feat. Hiatus, Part II)==<br />
<br />
In early 2015, ostrich1414 rejoined SimPvP. Pippenger, ever so kind to him, invited ostrich1414 to his newest base: [[Virunum]]. Ostrich1414 made the long journey there, eager to reunite with his former teammates and begin work on a brand-new base, possibly the biggest one yet. He eventually landed in a small village suburb just outside of the planned city's location; this village was a walled-in area made predominantly out of granite blocks. Here, ostrich1414 stayed as he prepared himself for the next big build.<br />
<br />
While at Virunum, ostrich1414 only ever completed one building, the shitty house shown below:<br />
<br />
[[File:Ostrich1414sHouse.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
It wasn't long before ostrich1414 went on hiatus yet again. However, unlike before, this was a much longer hiatus: he left the server in mid-2015 and did not return until January of 2017. During his absence, ostrich1414 fucked nine million bitches and snorted 57 lines of cocaine daily.<br />
<br />
==A New Era of ostrich1414==<br />
<br />
In January of 2017, ostrich1414 finally returned to the server. He came to realize that he had missed a lot of things: a major war, the building (and griefing) of Virunum, and even Pippenger's official retirement from the game. Determined to stay put on the server and leave an impact on it, ostrich1414 returned to Stonetown briefly to get back in shape for playing yet again. Reuniting with old friends and explaining his desire to stay, ostrich1414 set out, yet again, on a journey to build a new base.<br />
<br />
He later settled on a fair-sized Mushroom Island biome in the middle of the ocean. As he set up base there, he recruited [[Z33VN]] to come and help him construct this new base: a base built in the honor of Pippenger, using his signature Imperial Architecture style. This base, known as "[[Quinsigamond]]", grew very quickly as ostrich1414 recruited his longtime ally and friend [[JavelinFury]], as well as players Elystriana and KellyEKelly. Quinsigamond eventually became a hub of history, serving as an exhibition to the hard work and dedication that the longtime players of SimPvP have contributed to the server; this city became a living memorial to these players and their history.<br />
<br />
[[File:QuinsigamondSkyline.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Creating a Capital==<br />
<br />
After Quinsigamond's completion, ostrich1414 and JavelinFury began their newest project: a massive city known as "[[Monarchia]]". Monarchia was to become the capital city for the Remembrance, a new clan founded by the two themselves. The goal of this clan was to preserve and protect SimPvP's rich history and culture, and it was understood that this team of players needed a much larger city to headquarter their efforts. Joined by their close ally [[clipchip]], the three began to work on Monarchia as they prepared to establish a capital for the server's newest clan and a much larger city, made up of various distinct districts; this was ostrich1414's largest project to date, and it was this moment when he realized that, despite Pippenger's departure from the server, maybe he was capable of reclaiming this former glory and establishing an empire of his own. With Quinsigamond complete, the Remembrance growing, and Monarchia in the works ostrich1414 was becoming more involved in the society of the server than ever before.<br />
<br />
[[File:MonarchiaSkyline2017.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The United Alliance==<br />
<br />
In June of 2017, ostrich1414 received a surprise when Pippenger, using his alt [[Porkington]], returned to the server after a long hiatus (one that even rivals ostrich1414's). This event, as well as several other minor factors, prompted ostrich1414 and JavelinFury to fully reform the Remembrance and shift its focus and organization. This change saw the creation of the [[United Alliance]], a new clan which put ostrich1414 as its leader. The United Alliance, or UA, grew very quickly as new recruits were taken in almost daily and a surplus of bases were gained under its control throughout the server. Ostrich1414, who had never been the leader of such a large clan before, quickly felt the pressure and was forced to curb his dictatorial urges of authority and genocide. Meanwhile, he would focus on infrastructure, recruitment, and community production as he attempted to mirror the image of his mentor, Pippenger.<br />
<br />
==The War of Monarchia and Surrender==<br />
Though the next few months of the UA's existence were very progressive and bountiful, reaching its peak membership and involved with a vast assortment of affiliated bases, things began to turn sour when clipchip officially left the UA on August 22nd, 2017. Tensions between him and the UA only worsened, and he soon established "Clipiiii's Gang" following his departure.<br />
<br />
[[File:WarOfMonarchia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
From September 27th, 2017 to October 6th, 2017, the United Alliance and Clipiiii's Gang were engaged in a war fought entirely on Monarchia, known as the [[War of Monarchia]]. The war was declared by ostrich1414 himself after several acts of aggression from clipchip, who threatened the UA's progression and Monarchia's sovereignty. Though the war resulted in multiple deaths and an array of damage and destruction, it ultimately ended in peace as ostrich1414 officially surrendered to Clipiiii's Gang on October 6th, ending the War of Monarchia.<br />
<br />
After this date, ostrich1414 formally resigned from his position as Leader of the United Alliance and gave full control of the organization to clipchip, who later used its foundations to establish a new, modified clan, [[The Royal Allegiance]]. Under this treaty, clipchip had also gained control of all of the UA's bases, including ostrich1414's creations, Quinsigamond and Monarchia. The war and its results took a deep toll on ostrich1414 as he soon became semi-active and would tend to AFK frequently, though clipchip still allowed him to build in Monarchia and other such bases under the title of his personal indentured servant.<br />
<br />
==A New League==<br />
<br />
Secretly, behind the scenes, ostrich1414 and his close ally Porkington had been plotting the results of the War of Monarchia all along: after ostrich1414 resigned from the United Alliance and gave control over to clipchip, ostrich1414 and Porkington would move onto a new base as they began to plan a new clan of their own. Under the guise of being an RA member, ostrich1414 and Porkington began to work together on their new base, "[[Estevez]]", or "Vez" for short: a massive underground complex consisting of various farms, domes and halls, beginning in October of 2017. The two eventually recruited [[Master_Xybot]], their fellow ally and former UA member, and the three worked tirelessly on Estevez as they began secretly plotting theirs.<br />
<br />
[[File:EstevezDome.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the midst of construction at Estevez, ostrich1414 founded another newer base for the team, named [[Struthio]]. Though much smaller in size than Estevez, Struthio was unique as it was a small coastal savannah town consisting entirely of acacia wood and stone brick, and the town's layout itself was modeled after ostrich1414's own Quinsigamond due to its congestion in such a small land area. Struthio also contained various villager farms nearby, as well as the later Hall of Vatlos, a colossal structure which ostrich1414 and Porkington began work on in December 2017.<br />
<br />
[[File:DowntownStruthio.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 also began to work around spawn more frequently this time, taking part in much smaller bases, including [[Oberstein]] and [[Grasstle]]. These bases came with the sole intent to spread the team's influence near spawn and to draw new players and prepare them for their career in the server, hoping to breed a new generation of SimPvP players and teammates. Using his alt OstrichsGayAlt at Oberstein and frequently visiting Grasstle to assist newcomers, ostrich1414 made it a new goal of his to reach out to new players and give them hope, reminiscent of his mission while in the UA.<br />
<br />
[[File:Oberstein1.png|400px]] [[File:GrasstleOverview.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On January 5th, 2018, the three co-founders finally decided on a team name: [[The League]]. After announcing this publicly to the server, all three players officially withdrew from the Royal Allegiance, and ostrich1414 was finally able to focus solely on his work for the League, no longer being secretive or suspicious.<br />
<br />
==Times of Turbulence==<br />
<br />
Upon withdrawing from the RA, ostrich1414 and his League companions drew much controversy and criticism from their former RA allies, who were furious that they left. This anger was especially garnered by JavelinFury and clipchip, who openly denounced the League various times. Z33VN, Quinsigamond's co-founder, was also furious upon ostrich1414's departure. Despite this, ostrich1414 maintained his status as an active member of the League, working on various team projects, all the while attempting to mend the fractured relationship between him and his RA allies.<br />
<br />
On January 19th, 2018, Quinsigamond suffered from a minor griefing incident in which one of the city's main towers was covered in lava. Though there was very little damage and the griefing was far from destructive, it still sent a warning to ostrich1414 that one of his former allies may be after him, especially one who had access to Quinsigamond. Although he was unable to discover the culprit behind the act, clipchip and Z33VN were seen as the prime suspects, though both have denied participating in the incident. Despite this, all players saw the griefing as a response to the formation of the League and ostrich1414's departure from the RA.<br />
<br />
[[File:QuinsiGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
In the next two months that followed, war appeared to be imminent as [[The Cold War]] commenced. The League and the Royal Allegiance were rarely on good terms, and the two teams barely cooperated or respected each other. Both JavelinFury and clipchip claimed to have discovered Pippenger's city [[Ascaris]], which severely lowered the League's morale and struck fear among many, especially ostrich1414 and Pippenger himself. Later on, the RA city of Monarchia was severely griefed and looted by an unknown player, and the act was denounced by both teams; however, as no one knew who conducted the griefing, players from both teams attempted to frame each other in order to favor themselves. Coupled with these events, the RA frequently claimed to be constructing weapons of mass destruction which would destroy the League, and the League would also make threats, expressing a desire to cripple the already-declining RA.<br />
<br />
By mid-March 2018, nothing major seemed to occur, a war was never declared. Ostrich1414, due to increased boredom, disinterest, and "IRL" obligations, as well as fear and anxiety on the server, began to play less and less, logging on very infrequently and AFK-ing more than playing. His last major project on the server before his frequent inactivity was the city of [[Majula]], which he constructed with Porkington, [[Sir_Phenhex]] and CranberryWarrior. However, this did not last very long, and ostrich1414 began to severely decline in activity, possibly hinting at a third hiatus from the server.<br />
<br />
[[File:Majula1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Taking it Easy==<br />
<br />
After abandoning Majula in March due to a suspected infiltration, as well as dealing with other issues in real life, ostrich1414's inactivity turned to a (very) short hiatus. From mid-March to late-June 2018, as the Cold War reached its end, ostrich1414 failed to return to the server and remained inactive. However, by late June, ostrich1414 had once again returned, this time with the goal of "taking it easy". Rather than returning with a "boom" like he had the last time he returned from a hiatus, ostrich1414 decided to focus on helping others, rather than himself.<br />
<br />
Around late June, ostrich1414 invited [[Sengorn_Leopard]], a new ally of his and pippenger's, to Quinsigamond. From Quinsigamond, ostrich1414 then transferred Sengorn_Leopard to Struthio, where he remained for a longer period of time. Ostrich1414 became a mentor-of-sorts to Sengorn_Leopard, briefing him on the culture and history of SimPvP that he had come to learn and love. Though Struthio had remained stagnant for months, Sengorn-Leopard's arrival revived it, and the base once again flourished with new projects and architecture.<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 was eventually invited to join the base [[Java Linsghey]] in July 2018; here, he assisted his longtime allies, such as JavelinFury, clipchip, and [[MisterStrawman]], among others. Ostrich1414 built the [[Get Clip A Girlfriend]] National Headquarters, providing the organization he had founded in 2017 with a legitimate physical office. However, ostrich1414 was not as regularly active at Java Linsghey as he was at previous bases, and it soon fell relatively stale. Because of this, shortly thereafter, ostrich1414 was invited to yet another base, this time [[Tol Honeth]], by JavelinFury and clipchip once again in August 2018. Though he was becoming immersed in the server's current events once more, he failed to be as active or as aggressive as he once was, and decided that it was time to enjoy the moments while they lasted.<br />
<br />
[[File:JavaLinsgheySkyline.png|400px]] [[File:TolHoneth1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414's Renaissance==<br />
<br />
By late-August 2018, ostrich1414 had shifted most of his focus onto Struthio, the small coastal town he had founded with the League. Though he had largely abandoned it since early 2018 due to his hiatus, he gained a renewed interest in it due to Sengorn_Leopard's arrival. Here, Sengorn_Leopard began constructing a large, complex structure known as "Aether Tower", which promptly turned his "temporary" stay at Struthio into a permanent one. Sengorn-Leopard's interest in building up Struthio greatly influenced ostrich1414, who worked alongside him as the two added many new buildings and farms to the city. Thus, this became the beginning of Struthio's Renaissance, the rebirth of the previously neglected base, which witnessed a massive growth of its peninsula area. Porkington and ostrich1414 also completed the Hall of Vatlos, having put it on hold prior to Struthio's Renaissance.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioNewI.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Much of this rebuilding of Struthio came as a response to pippenger's own desire to greatly expand his base [[Ascaris]], claiming it to be the largest, most vast city on SimPvP. Thus, ostrich1414, Sengorn_Leopard and pippenger entered a friendly competition with each other as both Struthio and Ascaris tried to outgrow the other in terms of size and complexity, a rivalry jokingly referred to as the beginning of "The Vast Age".<br />
<br />
On September 28th, 2018, ostrich1414 officially announced his departure from the League, with himself and Porkington later deciding to disband the team altogether. As ostrich1414 wanted to solely focus on Struthio, and pippenger on Ascaris, with the team itself becoming largely dormant and irrelevant, the two decided that there was no logical reason to continue the League's goals and objectives, but, rather, to remain teamless and focus on expanding SimPvP's existing bases.<br />
<br />
Not long after, in October 2018, ostrich1414 and Porkington continued their expansion of Oberstein, their mountainous town near spawn. This was done in anticipation of the 2018 version of the spawn map (found here: [https://simplicitypvp.net/maps/#simpvp2018/0/3/0/0/64]), which was set to release the following month in November. Along with greatly increasing Oberstein's size, the two also collaborated on [[Glowstone Tower]], a massive nearby tower that reached up to the height limit.<br />
<br />
[[File:ObI.png|400px]] [[File:GlowstoneTower1.png|200px]]<br />
<br />
==Adjusting to an Ever-Changing Landscape==<br />
<br />
On November 1st, 2018, ostrich1414 hosted the first-ever [[Server Party at Quinsigamond]], an event that would soon become infamous. After making Quinsigamond a public base that same day, releasing coordinates for all to access and connecting it to the nether highway, he hosted a party at the city, prompting ten other players to join him in celebration. However, things soon went awry when [[Sellout9]], one of the guests, began mercilessly attacking some of the players. An all-out massacre soon arose as all players began fighting each other, resulting in many deaths and lost valuables. Quinsigamond itself was affected, with some of the city destroyed and in ruins, as well as looted and raided. Nevertheless, Quinsigamond still stands today, open to the public, and the memory of the crazy event of the Server Party became a highlight of the year.<br />
<br />
[[File:SPQ2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
When 1.13 came around in mid-November, things changed forever as SimPvP was altered in many ways. The server became much laggier and slower, and dozens of farms were destroyed and/or modified. This would eventually result in a full-scale upgrade, forcing the server's admin [[Yukarion]] to create a temporary map as the main map updated in the background. On the temporary map, beginning on December 5th, 2018, ostrich1414 started from scratch and soon formed an alliance and base of operations with other players. Here, ostrich1414, along with these teammates, launched an all-out war against all pro-phantomers (those who supported the addition of phantoms in 1.13) loosely referred to as "The Phantom Wars". All pro-phantomer bases and players were griefed and killed respectively, resulting in ostrich1414's own base being destroyed in response by them. Once the main map returned on December 11th, this was later resolved peacefully.<br />
<br />
[[File:PhantomWars.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
1.13's updates and the close to 2018 brought many changes to SimPvP and ostrich1414 as a whole, especially regarding Struthio, his main base of focus. Ostrich1414 had invited new players to join the city, all the while watching it quickly grow as Struthio's Renaissance continued. 1.13 had destroyed a few of Struthio's farms, forcing them to redo many of them; the greatest example of this is the destruction of Struthio's first wither farm, forcing the players to begin construction on a new farm, resulting in the second iteration becoming much larger and more complex. Struthio's emergence as a power-player within the server's politics and social climate was also becoming apparent, and ostrich1414's presence as the city founder and a forefront player allowed him to sway many of the decisions occurring there. Many of these decisions included the annexation and colonization of [[Bapadia]] on November 9th, 2018, a focus on mentoring new players and giving them positions, and attempting to strengthen alliances with other players in an attempt to build prominence.<br />
<br />
[[File:COB2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==An Explosive Growth==<br />
<br />
As SimPvP entered 2019, ostrich1414 found himself in the midst of a massively-changing culture and community: by January alone, the player count had nearly doubled, and dozens of new players were joining, more than the server had seen in a long time. Ostrich1414 recognized this change in server popularity and decided to utilize it for himself; on January 18th, 2019, ostrich1414 would perpetrate the first major event of the year: the Takeover of [[Fort Cranberry]]. Ostrich1414 annexed and colonized Fort Cranberry for Struthio, much like he did for Bapadia, and placed [[talksalot011]] and AaronRC93 in charge of the colony. Furthermore, he ordered several new players living at the fort to place kill its owner, [[CranberryWarrior]], on sight. What resulted were a series of battles between CranberryWarrior and ostrich1414's colonial army, ultimately resulting in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:FC2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, things would soon sour as a group of griefers, known as #TeamYMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]], joined the server in an attempt to launch various griefing and raiding campaigns on its many spawn bases. The first of these campaign's were YMP's raid on [[Novus Castle]] on February 16th, 2019. [[Cmlove]], who built the castle, requested backup to assist in fighting back the attackers, and ostrich1414 was one of the many players to join the counter-attack. However, despite being in fully-maxxed out diamond gear with god weapons, ostrich1414 was slain by JacksTheReaper, a member of YMP, which ultimately resulted in the raid on Novus Castle being a victory for the griefing team. Ironically enough, YMP would later grief Fort Cranberry the next day, ending ostrich1414's second official colony.<br />
<br />
[[File:NovusCastleGrief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these instances of intense strife and destruction, 2019 also served as a year of positive growth and change for ostrich1414. His city Struthio was skyrocketing as both a world power and a wealthy, vast city, its skyline becoming iconic. Ostrich1414 invited various new members to Struthio, and by April 2019, the city had grown significantly in both size, wealth, power and membership. Players such as [[CrackyJoe]], clipchip and [[DakkaDok]] would soon assist at Struthio, and even Master_Xybot returned from his hiatus in February to help build once again. Porkington, however, would later quit the city, enraged by his perceived lack of respect there.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioSkylineApril.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, ostrich1414 would also become the co-founder of a new city, a sort-of side project of his to Struthio. This city was named [[Florestria]], which he co-founded with [[SkykirryChycho]] on February 20th, 2019. What began as a small, quiet lakeside community quickly grew into a much larger city, with various farms, buildings and towers dotting the skyline. Ostrich1414 used Florestria as a city to build relationships with newer SimPvP players, a stark contrast to Struthio's makeup of older players.<br />
<br />
[[File:FlorestriaApril19.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
During the first few months of 2019, especially due to the explosive growth in player count, ostrich1414 found himself establishing several formal relationships with other teams and bases. Struthio and [[Triterrus]] formed an official alliance as sister cities, and Struthio and [[Nos Aeterna]] also formed an alliance, with DakkaDok even arriving at Struthio to build an embassy. Struthio and [[Ishtar]] formed an alliance (prior to its grief), and Struthio and Florestria shared embassies as well. Struthio and [[New Bapadia]] found themselves forming an alliance, with ostrich1414 mending his relationship with Bapada63 after the incident at Bapadia. Ostrich1414 himself also increased his number of affiliations and alliances, trying to build a new reputation as a trading power.<br />
<br />
==Shit Goes Down==<br />
<br />
By the middle of spring 2019, ostrich1414 was able to experience both of his cities, Struthio and Florestria, prosper to their fullest as they progressed exponentially. Each city was gaining several new members, farms and buildings almost weekly. However, behind the scenes, things were not going very well diplomatically: in April 2019, Struthio had been discovered by a group known as "Passione", which included [[Brusa95]], [[Chris_cord]] and [[trppbll]]. While ostrich1414 was allied and on good terms with Passione, there was one player whom they were allied with that would prove to be detrimental to the city: [[Antzakes1]].<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioDiscovery2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Due to a series of pre-existing tensions (which included ambushes in /world and the raid of Java Linsghey), Antzakes1 immediately began threatening Struthio's safety upon being invited there by Passione. Realizing the city was already compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Struthians began to form plans on what to do next: the declaration of war was seriously being considered, while plans for a new city in a new location was also considered. Regardless, tensions would only worsen: it was discovered that [[AntHand]], a member of Florestria, had sold that city's coordinates to Antzakes1 for Struthio's coordinates, which now meant that Antzakes1 had access to two of ostrich1414's most important cities, which doubled the threats. Enraged at AntHand, as well as feeling betrayed, ostrich1414 decided to enact revenge on him. On May 9th, while AntHand was AFK in Florestria's gunpowder farm, ostrich1414 laced the area with TNT and blew him up, killing him instantaneously and destroying all of his drops. Ostrich1414 immediately fled from Florestria after.<br />
<br />
[[File:AntHandAttack1.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, AntHand and ostrich1414 apologized to each other and made up, realizing that Antzakes1 had manipulated them into quarreling with each other. While plans for an all-out war against Antzakes1 continued, both Struthio and Florestria ultimately decided to move on and simply ignore Antzakes1. Both cities decided to fully start from scratch as several members from each flocked to new locations, while Antzakes1 ultimately went on hiatus. Unfortunately, [[TheOnlySlash]] would leak Struthio's coordinates to the public, which ultimately resulted in the city being griefed by jared2013 on June 3rd, 2019, resulting in the end of ostrich1414's greatest city yet. Florestria, meanwhile, would survive, albeit fully abandoned.<br />
<br />
==Ostrich1414 IV: A New Hope==<br />
<br />
Despite the countless setbacks of the Antzakes1 Crisis, ostrich1414 emerged stronger than ever. By June 2019, he was heavily involved in three major cities: [[Nos Aeterna]], [[Yittrium]] and [[Segoria]] (the Big 3).<br />
<br />
Previously, ostrich1414 had been invited to [[DakkaDok]]'s city, Nos Aeterna, in mid-April 2019. Due to the city's immense distance from spawn and its lack of portal connections, ostrich1414 sent a new alt, XXXOstrichtacion, to live and work at the city. While he would not be heavily active here, ostrich1414 did assist Nos Aeterna's growth in several ways, including building a skyscraper in honor of Struthio, helping to organize the city's brand-new storage facility, and fixing several farms. Two other former Struthians, Sengorn_Leopard and CrackyJoe, were also invited alongside ostrich1414.<br />
<br />

<br />
Yittrium was the immediate follow-up of Florestria. After Florestria was compromised and abandoned in May 2019, ostrich1414 and the rest of its members fled to a new location significantly farther out, forming the city of Yittrium. Unlike Florestria, which was a quiet, lowkey lakeside community, Yittrium was a massive metropolis with several highrises and large-scale builds. Yittrium was directly influenced by Struthio's modern-city aesthetic, featuring a very imposing skyline.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumSkylineAugust.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Segoria, the last of the Big 3 for ostrich1414, was a follow-up city for Struthio. Segoria's location had actually been discovered and claimed by Sengorn_Leopard during Struthio's prime, but it was essentially reserved only in the occasion that the city fell; Segoria was a back-up plot for a new start. Thus, after Struthio was compromised, several key members of the city fled to the new location, Segoria, in May 2019. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would not be very active here: he had sent his alt OstrichsCoolAlt to live at Segoria while he focused heavily on Yittrium, but many of Segoria's members helped grow the city into a large medieval base with several palaces, temples and statues.<br />
<br />
[[File:Segoria2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of these three cities, ostrich1414 had been involved in the server in other smaller ways. He established the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] in March 2019, but really progressed it by May. The CAB served as an alliance between several powerful and wealthy cities, three of which ostrich1414 was involved at. Furthermore, ostrich1414 would engage in several small-scale battles. The first of these was the Battle of Knee Mo, which took place in Yittrium on May 31st. This occurred after AntHand accidentally killed one of [[MoWobbler]]'s fish in a public fountain, resulting in an all-out violent battle. The second battle was the [[Battle of Quagsmaria]], which pitted ostrich1414 and TheOnlySlash against [[Lord1]] and Cocoaboa. After ostrich1414 tried to annex the base [[Quagsmaria]] on July 6th, 2019 with TheOnlySlash, Lord1 attempted to take it back from them; this ultimately resulted in ostrich1414's victory.<br />
<br />
==A Second Modern Metropolis==<br />
<br />
Much of 2019 consisted of ostrich1414 working extensively on his city Yittrium. From its inception in May to the end of the year, Yittrium became ostrich1414's sole project, as he allocated much of his time here. In fact, Yittrium, in many ways, was a sequel to Struthio, ostrich1414's last major city: both Yittrium and Struthio were massive modern metropolises with large, active playerbases, all contributing new buildings every week. However, Yittrium was slowly but surely overtaking Struthio in terms of size, shape, wealth and power - this was ostrich1414's greatest base yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:YittriumAtNightOctober2019.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Ostrich1414 himself constructed many of the builds at Yittrium, helping define the city's dense, modern feel. However, the other members of Yittrium were equally as vital to its success: players like AntHand, MoWobbler, [[cheesy_chips22]] and more helped grow and shape the city, especially in terms of its industrial wealth. In fact, Yittrium easily became ostrich1414's richest city: "god sets" were able to be manufactured quickly and efficiently, the iron farm was overflowing, and the raid farm, ostrich1414's first farm at the city, produced lots of Totems of Undying. Furthermore, ostrich1414 was able to secure his first truly successful colony with Yittrium: on October 23rd, 2019, he annexed Dylan_Roof's base [[Coon Town]], a base which gave Yittrium access to much-needed villager trades, two mob farms and a gold farm.<br />
<br />

<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
October 17th - November 18th was a notable period of 2019 for ostrich1414, as he was heavily involved in the religious, ideological crusade known as "[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]]". On October 17th, ostrich1414, on behalf of [[The Order of Wilbur]], declared war on the [[Church of Francis]]; in response, its leader, Lord1, declared war on the Order of Wilbur. This war would easily become the bloodiest, most violent war in SimPvP history, featuring a plethora of large-scale battles and ambushes.<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleOfMonarchia1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the leader of the Order of the Wilbur and the Wilburian Army in general, ostrich1414 organized several of the battles that took place. Most notably, ostrich1414 took part in the Battle of Monarchia, the largest battle in server history to-date: a total of 19 players showed up, with 18 active soldiers fighting altogether. Ostrich1414 was involved with all the battles of the war, except for the last, the Battle of [[Syracusai]]. Nevertheless, he was able to secure several military victories for the Order of Wilbur, getting several kills (and experiencing several deaths as well). The war in itself was not only very violent, seeing active combat regularly, but was also very resource-heavy: at Yittrium, ostrich1414 and his team were forced to manufacture dozens of potions, gear and Totems of Undying for the war effort. This effort payed off, as the Order of Wilbur was successful in several battles, most notably the battles of Java Linsghey, Snowfrog, Monarchia and Syracusai.<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleOfAndromeda.png|400px]] [[File:WilburianAmryVictory.png|400px]] [[File:MonarchiaVictory1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After the Battle of Syracusai, on November 18th, Lord1 officially surrendered to the Order of Wilbur on behalf of the Church of Francis, ending the war and resulting in an Order of Wilbur victory. Later that night, ostrich1414 organized a peace conference and victory celebration in [[Verillium]], reviewing and accepting terms of surrender with Lord1 and celebrating his team's victory with the soldiers who helped achieve it. The Holy-Wilbur Francis War was ostrich1414's second war he had partaken in on the server, but it was easily his most successful and eventful.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 1.png|400px]] [[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Postwar Depression==<br />
<br />
While the Holy Wilbur-Francis War had ended in a victory, ostrich1414 would be unaware of just how tense and unpleasant the next few months on SimPvP would be for him and the players around him. Almost immediately after the war's end, another war had begun: the [[Intervention War]], declared by the [[Bloc for Clans]] (which ostrich1414 was in at the time) due to perceived long-term hostilities shown by both the [[Shadow Mcmafia]] and [[The Dominion]]. While the Intervention War would not have massive, organized battles like the war before it, the Intervention War was comprised of a series of smaller PvP battles, skirmishes and terror attacks, making it difficult for players to move around safely. While a member of the BC, ostrich1414 would not take part in this war, remaining neutral due to his friendliness with both belligerents involved in the war. Nonetheless, it killed many of his allies and threatened several of his bases, setting the tone for a tense period of time.<br />
<br />
On December 8th, 2019, due to the Bloc for Clans announcing their plans on annexing [[Ascaris]], ostrich1414 rushed to the city and claimed a large portion of the land for Yittrium in fear that the city would be primarily used for an advantage during the Intervention War, wanting to ensure its safety. Yittrium and the BC both agreed to divide the city in half and share it - unfortunately, a week later, Ascaris would be severely griefed by an unknown player, which many believe to be a consequence of the Intervention War.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ascaris Colonization.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, ostrich1414 had a threat of his own at Yittrium, as the city increasingly become less safe and more unstable. The Shadow Mcmafia had been threatening it for months, but the likelihood of the city being either raided or griefed became a serious topic as the player count increased and the safety and security decreased. By December 2019, Yittrium was entering the stages of a dying city: its members were rarely active, only using it for its abundance of farms. In fact, during this time, between late November and early December, ostrich1414 moved on to a solo project (which quickly grew into a massive multi-player project), establishing [[Craftablia]] on November 23rd. Made up of multiple chunks of crafting tables laid on the ground, many of which were donated by [[SFR]] and Sengorn_Leopard, ostrich1414 utilized Craftablia as an escape from Yittrium, feeling little motivation to build at his home city due to the many reasons mentioned prior. Ultimately, Craftablia would be abandoned as well, and soon discovered by a new player.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ostrich1414 at Craftablia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By late December 2019 - early January 2020, ostrich1414 was growing dissatisfied and depressed with his time on SimPvP. His bases were being active and abandoned, the Intervention War was consuming the efforts of his allies, and he was lacking motivation in general. His long-time portal hub had recently been made public, and the [[Coalition of Allied Bases]] had disbanded due to inactivity. At this time, he would assist [[cmlove]] with two bases: first, [[The Foxhole]], which only lasted a few weeks until it was griefed on December 19th, and [[Vulpes Den]], a base he founded with cmlove shortly after the Foxhole was griefed. The two bases shared a common theme, being underground complexes with a nature inspiration - nonetheless, ostrich1414's growing boredom and lack of motivation rendered his activities here unproductive, and he would ultimately leave Vulpes Den soon after.<br />
<br />
[[File:Vulpes Den 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After a few days of inactivity and boredom, ostrich1414 officially left SimPvP for a short hiatus on January 5th, 2020. Needing some time for a break, ostrich1414's hiatus would prove detrimental to his in-game city: that same day, Yittrium was severely raided by [[Byzantium]] due to internal issues they had with fellow member [[TonTheKidRS]], forcing the city's members to abandon it for good. Unaware of this at the time, ostrich1414 assumed that he would not be back for a few months, as his postwar depression made playing on SimPvP a chore, rather than a fun activity.<br />
<br />
During his hiatus, ostrich1414 played a fuckton of Bed Wars on Hypixel.<br />
<br />
==He's Back, Baby!==<br />
<br />
While ostrich1414 was gone, a political dispute unrelated to the ongoing Intervention War was brewing in the city of [[Sigil]], known as [[The Sigil Conflict]]. This issue involved many of ostrich1414's allies, as Lord1, on behalf of the Church of Francis, used a perceived lack of religious freedom to bar Wilburians from certain areas of the city, practically overtaking the city for his own. Tensions reached their climax when Lord1 killed [[nddragoon]] and GummyBearz14, as well as launching an unofficial crusade against the Francillian doubters of Sigil; the base was now unsafe as violence brewed, and the coordinates had been leaked. Ostrich1414, who was repeatedly DM'd on Discord about this, decided it was time to return: on January 17th, 2020, ostrich1414 traveled to Sigil and griefed the Church of Francis temple in retaliation for their actions towards the Wilburians and innocent Sigil civilians. Ostrich1414 then began to attack Lord1 and Cutman as a short battle ensued, although this was later dissolved as an armistice was declared.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the toll this conflict took on the city of Sigil and relations between Lord1 and other BC members, the Sigil Conflict had actually proven to be vital for ostrich1414: it renewed his interest in the server, bringing excitement and thrill back into the game for him.<br />
<br />
This was made even more clear when, literally a day later, [[The Second Siege]] began, also known as "The Hispanic Panic". This was a server-wide event initiated in response to the growing threat that a [[MrCramYT]], a Spanish YouTuber with over 50,000 subscribers, would make a video on SimPvP that would ultimately bring an influx of players online and make the lag and playability even worse than it already was. Thus, despite the many instances of strife and war on the server, everyone unified together despite their differences and began to work together and make spawn impenetrable, ensuring that new players could not leave it. In fact, TheOnlySlash (who had organized the Second Siege) made ostrich1414 a member of the Inner Council of the event, and ostrich1414 played a major role in bringing forth more players to the cause. Ultimately, the Second Siege was successful in stopping MrCramYT from making the video, and the event as a whole became the largest gathering of SimPvP players at one location in server history.<br />
<br />
[[File:Siege II Group 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Once again, ostrich1414 was back and reinvigorated, happy to be playing on SimPvP again after the excitement of mid-January.<br />
<br />
==Return to Form: War and Peace==<br />
<br />
By mid-January, there were still two major issues plaguing ostrich1414: he was both poor and homeless, primarily due to the loss of Yittrium. As such, he decided to establish a brand-new megacity on January 24th, 2020, known as the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], or "Wilburia" for short. Wilburia would be the first official base created specifically by and for the Order of Wilbur, nearly six years after the religion was formed. While Wilburia was originally meant to be a solo project, ostrich1414 later invited a small group of devout Wilburians: [[Zepheron]], cheesy_chips22 and Porkington. The city grew rapidly, constructing a sizable, respectable city square by February 2020.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia February 7.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike Struthio, Florestria or Yittrium before it, Wilburia's strength was its small team. With only four players, three of which were primarily active, Wilburia quickly became one of the wealthiest and most powerful bases on SimPvP. Several skyscrapers, three major megastructures, and high-quality farms ranging from a gold farm, totem farm, and gunpowder farm would be constructed between January and April. Ostrich1414 had finally risen out of the ashes, becoming a wealthy player once more and no longer relying on feeding off of the rotten corpse of Yittrium.<br />
<br />
Of course, the time between January - early-April 2020 had its major incidents. Perhaps the most important event was [[The Byzantium War]], a war which ostrich1414 himself officially declared on February 23rd, 2020. The Byzantium War began way back in January 5th, when the members of Byzantium first raided Yittrium. While ostrich1414 and his former teammates were angered by this, they decided to move on. It wasn't until February when the members of Byzantium began mocking them for it that tensions truly began to rise. [[Passaconaway]] renamed his alt account to "RIPYittrium2020", and later leaked the city's coordiantes on that same account. This incident is what truly sparked the beginnings of the war, leading ostrich1414 to recruit a few loyalists and raid Byzantium's former base, Triterrus, in response.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Raid.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By February 23rd, the war truly picked up. With tensions rising and anger and mockery consuming the chat, ostrich1414 and his allies returned to Triterrus, this time severely and irreparably griefing it. War was immediately declared between Byzantium and "New Israel" (the informal name given to ostrich1414 and his allies), and the Byzantium War would be known as a war of griefing. Not long after the grief of Triterrus, Byzantium would severely grief Yittrium on February 25th, as well as later griefing Antzakes1's invisible base on March 28th. While these three major griefings would mark the severity of the war, no actual battles took place, and fighting was brought to a minimum, leaving much of the war empty and inactive.<br />
<br />
[[File:Triterrus Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Eventually, things would soon die down for the Byzantium War. Two major peace conferences took place: the Quinsigamond Peace Conference on February 27th, and the Turtle Beach Peace Conference on March 29th. The first of the two was only between ostrich1414, [[VetoTheNeato]] and Byzantium, but the second was between the major parties of New Israel and Byzantium, bringing the war to an end. It was decided that there would be no "winners" or "losers" of the war, and that all parties would move on peacefully, as well as to forgive each other for the atrocities that occurred. With the Byzantium War now ending, ostrich1414 was a veteran of three wars. While not as violent as the War of Monarchia or the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Byzantium War was the first war where ostrich1414 had truly felt anger and betrayal.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Peace Conference 1.png|400px]] [[File:Peace Conference 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of working on his city Wilburia and partaking in the Byzantium War, ostrich1414 engaged in other activities as well, typically related to diplomatic relations. Ostrich1414 was one of the many participants of the [[Simpvp Summit]] on February 23rd, representing his city Wilburia. He was also forced to confess to the griefing of [[North Koria (Base)]], later reconciling with [[Korijenkins]] at the Struthian-North Korian Peace Summit on February 3rd. In early March, ostrich1414 participated in #WitherWeek at Segoria, assisting his Segorian allies in finally finishing the massive wither skeleton farm they had started in 2018. Ostrich1414 was also a soldier during the very short Second Invasion of [[Lordtopia]] on April 9th, although he was blown up by an end crystal within less than a minute of battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Struthian-North Korian Peace Summit.png|400px]] [[File:WitherWeek.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most important moment of January-April 2020 for ostrich1414 was when he became the newest official admin of SimPvP on February 28th, 2020. For many years, Yukarion, DakkaDok and MisterStrawman had been the only admins on the server, but their decreasing activity had led to the pursuit of a new admin. Ostrich1414's vast playtime, experience and activity on SimPvP led him to become a prime candidate, and eventually, led to him becoming the fourth active admin.<br />
<br />
==A Man Both Jaded and Weary==<br />
<br />
As the year 2020 proved to be a chaotic one, ironically both in SimPvP and in real life, ostrich1414 found himself once again growing exhausted and unmotivated. Although the end of the Byzantium War had promised ostrich1414 a new period to focus on his blossoming city, Wilburia, things would not be as pleasant as he originally envisioned. Nonetheless, between April to mid-May, Wilburia became one of ostrich1414's greatest cities to date: a city of high quality, wealth, power, and grandeur. Motivated by the flaws and pitfalls of his previous two megacities, Struthio and Yittrium, the one thing maintaining his interest in SimPvP was the growth of Wilburia.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between April 15th and April 16th, a sudden crisis would occur that once again threatened peace and stability: [[The Stonetown Incident]]. After attempting to annex Stonetown on behalf of Wilburia, primarily due to its historic and religious significance, ostrich1414 was "betrayed" by Porkington after he instead gave the deed to Stonetown to Lord1. Soon after, Lord1 annexed Stonetown and converted it into a Francillian colony -- something ostrich1414 was strongly against due to Stonetown's stance as the base where the Order of Wilbur was founded. This resulted in Wilburia taking back Stonetown, threatening the Francillians, and a back-and-forth ensued: each group would remove the other's decorations and temporarily occupy the land. In fact, this crisis got so heated that it almost led to yet another Holy Wilbur-Francis War, and both sides were gearing for battle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, neither ostrich1414 nor Lord1 truly wanted ''another'' war. After attending a peace treaty to ease tensions, ostrich1414 was confronted by a sudden imposing and outlandish questions by Lord1, in which he asked: "Are you CranberryWarrior?" Although this may have seemed like a bizarre question to ask by most players, it was not; ostrich1414 admitted that he was indeed CranberryWarrior, and had been since 2017. Ostrich1414 had been using CranberryWarrior behind-the-scenes as a secret alt account, using it to infiltrate other groups and bases, and to gather information. Some of these groups included [[The Fellowship]], [[Asguard]], North Koria, and Lord1's own Church of Francis. Using CranberryWarrior, ostrich1414 had insided as a loyal Francillian since the summer of 2019; now, in April 2020, he was officially exposed. In return for the distrust he had caused, ostrich1414 gifted Lord1 with the CranberryWarrior account, and Lord1 turned it into a brand-new alt for himself, Lard2.<br />
<br />
[[File:CranberryWarrior Last Words.PNG|400px]]<br />
<br />
After almost entering yet another war and exposing his secret alt account, the final blow would occur for ostrich1414 that led him to enter a state of hopelessness and non-inspiration on May 6th, 2020. For a few weeks prior, the members of Wilburia, especially ostrich1414 himself, had suspicions that AntHand and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] had access to their city. Unfortunately, these suspicions were revealed to be true: on May 6th, both egnaroky and AntHand showed up to Wilburia in person, declaring that they were incorporating the city into their new "Caudicean Empire". This angered ostrich1414 severely, who felt both betrayed by his allies and sickened that he was losing yet another megacity, his third in a row.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Their city now compromised, ostrich1414 and the other Wilburians abandoned the city entirely, only using it sparingly for farms and resources. Tensions between the Caudices and the rest of the server would only worsen when they proceeded to annex [[Takyon]], Wilburia's sister city which ostrich1414 had very close relations with. In his final act of disobedience against the Caudices, ostrich1414 attended a server party at Takyon on May 8th where dozens of players toured the city one last time before severely griefing it. This also resulted in a minor skirmish between themselves and the Caudices, to no avail.<br />
<br />
[[File:Takyon Party 1.png|400px]] [[File:Takyon Party 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By mid-May, ostrich1414 was jaded, weary, exhausted, and most of all, demotivated. The loss of Wilburia felt more routine than devastating, as he had lost Struthio and Yittrium before it. Ostrich1414 also felt displaced in the new server environment, which became increasingly tense and angry; wars were far more common now, and strife and drama occurred at a much more alarming rate. Needing to take a break from SimPvP for a while, ostrich1414 departed on yet another one of his frequent hiatuses, only logging on periodically for server maintenance, hoping to focus on real life.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, real life sucked too (2020 was kind of a lame year, ngl).<br />
<br />
==Searching for Meaning==<br />
<br />
After the Wilburia incident, ostrich1414 didn't log on for much of May or June, only properly returning to the server in late June. His first major step back into the server life was his brief participation at the Second SimPvP Summit on June 20th, although even this was very short-lived. Ostrich1414 had become severely unmotivated and uninspired, with no main base to his name and no direction. Fortunately, this mentality was somewhat remedied with his induction into [[The Republic]]--a brand new team with the goal of decreasing Lord1's influence on SimPvP, as well as the Church of Francis as a whole. The Republic also aimed to focus on public works projects at and around spawn, improving the environment for all.<br />
<br />
Of course, an entire team largely targetting one player has disastrous effects. On June 23rd, several members of the Republic griefed Two Words, the Church of Francis' primary base. Ostrich1414, while not a part of the grief, was considered a major suspect for leaking it due to his knowledge of the coordinates thanks to CranberryWarrior. The grief, and this rumor, would ultimately lead Lord1 and [[Wawuwiva]] to target and grief ostrich1414's longest-lasting base on SimPvP, Stonetown. That same day, on June 23rd, Stonetown was mercilessly griefed and destroyed, ending its six year lifespan.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although dismayed and saddened by this loss, ostrich1414 urged himself to continue playing on SimPvP and supporting the Republic's endeavors. On July 13th, ostrich1414 began a brand-new solo project: a unique landmark called [[Inferno]]. Inspired by places like Craftablia and [[The Graveyard]], Inferno consisted of a specifically-placed pattern of 3-block-high netherrack pillars, with fire lit on top of each of them, covering an entire landmass. Inferno was constructed with no other goal in mind than creating yet another unique spawn landmark for players to enjoy, and to boost the Republic's image as more of a public works group. Ostrich1414 also participated in another Republic-affiliated public works project, this time assisting 4Pilot and Zepheron in repairing the public end portal area.<br />
<br />
[[File:Inferno 1.png|400px]] [[File:End Boys.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite his lack of motivation to work on yet another base, ostrich1414 was ironically invited to three new bases during this period: Shakatak Mycelia on June 23rd, [[Exultia]] on June 29th, and [[Belgium]] on July 21st. At Shakatak Mycelia, ostrich1414 was inducted into the base's primary team, [[Shakatak]], organized by [[Burger_Malone]]. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would be very inactive here, primarily due to his lack of motivation and skillset required to build in the town's architectural standard. The same would go for Exultia, yet another base ostrich1414 participated at very minimally. In Exultia's case however, the base would not last very long; there was an overwhelming sense of burnout and inactivity within the entire base population, resulting in many members, including ostrich1414, to respectfully drop out near the end of the summer. Of these three bases, Belgium would be ostrich1414's most active participation--although even this was somewhat minimal. Joining the [[North Koria (Clan)]] alongside TheOnlySlash, Korijenkins, and [[HedgehogMind]], ostrich1414 assisted in some large scale projects at Belgium, primarily related to base expansion.<br />
<br />
[[File:ShakOst.png|400px]] [[File:Belgium Crew.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the moment that truly brought ostrich1414 back into the SimPvP mindset, and reintroducing his inspiration to play, was his participation in SKRT, or the Sim Kast Removal Team. Starting on August 23rd, 2020, the Sim Kast Removal Team was founded by the [[GS Trading Co.]] in order to completely renovate and repair spawn after years of abuse, destruction, and lavacasting. Ever since 2019, spawn had been suffocated by intense lavacasts, so the massive organized team of SKRT worked around the clock to dismantle these features using various methods, from TNT dupers to mining to simple TNT placement. Several SKRT members also focused on draining much of the water cubes that had been left over from Operation Moist Boiz I and II, trying to dry out spawn. After only a week of renovation, SKRT's goals were a resounding success: spawn was completely different than it had been before, with much more space around the protected zone. This was the moment where ostrich1414 truly became engaged with the server yet again.<br />
<br />
[[File:SKRT Crew.png|400px]] [[File:Revamped Spawn.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the summer began to dwindle and lead into fall, ostrich1414 became more active on SimPvP and participated in a myriad of smaller events. On August 7th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron became two of the many players to participate in the glitch abuse of [[Dragon Eggs]], each obtaining a dragon egg (although these were later destroyed due to a new ruling). On August 30th, ostrich1414 was also one of the founding members of [[Palau]], a short-lived base that only lasted around 24 minutes before it devolved into the chaotic Massacre of Palau when TheOnlySlash killed Qyburn_ and bedtrapped Paul358.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Zeph Dragon Egg.png|400px]] [[File:Massacre of Palau 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==A Tale of Two Cities==<br />
<br />
While much of ostrich1414's 2020 summer had been characterized by a lack of motivation, disillusionment, and no real sense of purpose as a result of the Wilburia incident, things soon changed by the fall when he joined two brand new cities. In September, ostrich1414 co-founded [[Quabbin]], and in October, he joined [[Void City]]; both of these bases would become his primary sources of focus for the latter half of 2020.<br />
<br />
Quabbin was co-founded by ostrich1441 and AntHand on September 2nd after the two wanted to reunite and find a common ground after Wilburia, using the base as an excuse to warm relations. They were soon joined by egnaroky, MoWobbler, JESUS_warrior69, and cmlove. Much like ostrich1414's previous cities, specifically Struthio and Yittrium, Quabbin became yet another ever-growing megacity characterized by its modern aesthetic. Ostrich1414, once again motivated to build after months, began work on his signature modern cityscape, cultivating a unique skyline with several skyscrapers and farms in a central riverside island known as "Quabbin Center". Around him, the other Quabbin members created their own unique contributions, from MoWobbler's Sphere City to AntHand's Area 69 to cmlove's Zoo Wee Mama.<br />
<br />

<br />
About a month after Quabbin, ostrich1414 formally joined his next base, Void City. Founded by Korijenkins on October 3rd, Void City is notable for being located in the End, and an unofficial expansion of the Belgium team. At Void City, ostrich1414 was also joined by Belgium regulars TheOnlySlash and HedgehogMind, as well as old allies he had not based with in years, including clipchip, JavelinFury, and dariepearjuicy. Void City features a cyberpunk aesthetic, using the End dimension as a juxtaposition for futuristic space-like builds and towers. Much like at Quabbin, ostrich1414 would construct several skyscrapers and farms here, using his knack for modern builds to the city's advantage.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void Citiots.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, Quabbin and Void City were not ostrich1414's only activities during this time. Between September and early December, ostrich1414 engaged in several battles, meet-ups, events, and spawn projects.<br />
<br />
In September, ostrich1414 engaged in two major battles. The first was the [[Battle of Swampland]] on September 15th, a classic Church of Francis versus Order of Wilbur battle, between Lord1, xexc, and [[James8B]] versus ostrich1414, MoWobbler, and [[ElectricChugg]]. While this battle would go on for over an hour, and ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were able to successfully defend themselves, the Order of Wilbur ultimately lost: ElectricChugg had been killed early in the battle, and after an hour or losing resources, the two remaining Wilburians were forced to flee. The second was the Battle of [[Suit's tower]] on September 29th, a spur-of-the-moment battle between Lord1, ostrich1414, and [[_Goujon_]] versus AntHand, Sellout9, and Cutman. Unlike the previous battle, this one was extremely short, with ostrich1414's emerging victorious within minutes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]] [[File:Battle of Suit's Tower.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On October 6th, ostrich1414 and a coalition of other players teamed up to grief [[Azpipia]], a spawn base partially created by Azdin. This was done in response to Azdin's negligent removal of several spawn landmarks, returning them to vanilla Minecraft terrain as if nothing had ever been built there. There were also several parties attended by ostrich1414, including [[Barrier Town]], Wassrïge Hólle Trei, and MoWobbler's Second Annual Halloween Tomb Event at Yittrium. Perhaps the highlight of these player get-togethers was the one year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, where ostrich1414 and several war veterans and Francillians/Wilburians met up in Verillium to reflect on the carnage that had occurred one year ago.<br />
<br />

<br />
On December 4th, ostrich1414, along with MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]], completed [[Suidae Temple]]: the Order of Wilbur's first major spawn temple. Rising from the depths of the ocean from a 3x3 circular grid, Suidae Temple was the first major act of the Order of Wilbur in months, and a fine addition to their collection of temples.<br />
<br />

<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, ostrich1414 participated in what would become one of the most violent, destructive wars in SimPvP history: [[The Imperial War]]. What began as a "larp" war for some soon devolved into an unprecedented arms race of destruction between the Church of Francis and the wartime-exclusive loose collective of players known as the People's Coalition, composed of numerous SimPvP teams united against the COF. While the ambush and murder of Sellout9 and SimCoin in early December 2020 would be the true catalyst for war, many players (including ostrich1414 himself) were growing frustrated with the COF's reign of imperialism and terror, with specific incidents like "Operation Red Terror" leaving a sour taste in their mouths, and the relentless ambushing of unaffiliated players began to wear thin. Ostrich1414 himself had a historic rivalry with the Church of Francis, and was thus propelled into the creation of the People's Coalition to fight against what they saw as a force detrimental to the server. On December 10th, 2020, the People's Coalition officially declared war on the Church of Francis, targeting and griefing two of their spawn bases: Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lakeside Lodge 1.png|400px]] [[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The first half of the Imperial War would largely be characterized by back-and-forth griefs of inactive, yet still prized, PC and COF affiliated bases, as well as various skirmishes and small guerrilla battles in both /world and spawn. The COF would grief some of ostrich1414's own former bases during this time, including [[New Oberstein]], Tol Honeth, and Florestria, as well as other smaller PC-affiliated bases. The PC would strike back, griefing Bitchport, RBC Spawn Base, and [[Swaglabs]]. Of course, much of the true action during this period of the war took place in /world, where countless skirmishes between PC and COF troops took place. While each side of the war had its own strengths and weaknesses, there seemed to be no clear winner in sight yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war, however, proved to be much more detrimental to both the participants on both sides, as well as the server itself. The first major controversy struck when the COF raided and griefed [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first major active base of the war to be targeted. This left countless PC members homeless, enraging them. Soon after, the YMP base Axetown was targeted by the COF. Wartime "battles" would decrease at this time, with fewer and fewer PC-COF combat; several PC members withdrew from the war for personal reasons while the COF attempted to negotiate peace, only to be turned down by the still-furious PC. Eventually, the next major base to fall would be at the hands of the PC on January 11th when they raided and annexed [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main base at the time. While this crippled any hope of an immediate peace, ostrich1414 found himself largely regretting the decision after partaking in it, viewing the ongoing war as an unwinnable vacuum of destruction for both sides simultaneously.<br />
<br />
[[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The last base to be targeted during the war, [[Pepe's Holy Land]], was raided and annexed by the PC shortly before true peace negotiations began to take place. Soldiers on both sides of the war were growing weary and distraught with its outcome; numerous active, impressive bases like GFC and Three Words were falling, and they felt that more were to come if the crisis continued. While the PC had previously rejected the COF's negotiations, they once again attempted to agree to mutual terms by mid-to-late January, with ostrich1414 himself spearheading the peace talks between himself, AntHand, Lord1, Tenced, and CrackyJoe. Finally, after days of negotiating, both the PC and the COF were able to come to an agreement: on January 28th, 2021, the two once-warring teams decided to come together and officially declare peace, ending the Imperial War for good. A small peace conference was held at Gibraltar Castle (one of the first bases to be griefed during the war) where representatives from both sides met and signed treaties. After well over a month of destruction, chaos, and hatred, another major war had ended...yet some tensions remained.<br />
<br />
[[File:Imperial War Peace 1.png|400px]] [[File:Imperial War Peace 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Pain.==<br />
<br />
By the end of the Imperial War, ostrich1414 was at his lowest in terms of lack of motivation, lack of enthusiasm, disillusionment, and irritability. On January 19th, ostrich1414 and Zepheron were forced to grief the dormant remains of Wilburia after it was x-rayed a partially griefed by 39Y. Almost two weeks later, he, and the other members, were forced to abandon Quabbin as the city had become overrun with unaffiliated outsider players gaining access to coordinates, with some likely looking to damage the city as post-war retaliation. Furthermore, AntHand, ostrich1414's long-time ally, was embroiled in a massive controversy regarding the use of a wolf-tracking exploit with which he discovered Three Words, as well as Wilburia a year prior. Yukarion's decision not to punish AntHand left ostrich1414 in an uncomfortable position as an admin, and as a previous Three Words raider. Despite the war being over, ostrich1414 was drained.<br />
<br />
Of course, post-Imperial War life was not all that bad. On February 4th, ostrich1414 was invited to join GS Trading Co.'s main base, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]], which he arrived at after permanently departing from Quabbin. Sternenfall Nochmal was notable for the vast array of high-powered farms it possessed, from withers to obsidian to guardians to gold. However, Sternenfall Nochmal also had a growing urban sector, with many of its members constructing soaring skyscrapers and other city structures. Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would never truly build much at Sternenfall Nochmal, instead focusing on his budding map art obsession and assisting with farm-related projects. Ostrich1414 also spent some time at Void City again, finishing his long-dormant wool farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Skuller Sternenfall Nochmal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, ostrich1414's major project during this period of time would be [[Riverwood]]: a small town established specifically for new players, recruiting them and getting them started with gear and materials. Founded by ostrich1414 on February 15th, the town prospered for the next two weeks, housing over a dozen brand new players who contributed to its growing expansion. Largely utilizing Imperial Architecture as its primary build style, Riverwood would become ostrich1414's sole focus for most of February as he assisted many new players in getting them started on the server. Soon afterwards, The Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis decided to use Riverwood as an opportunity to make peace and spread unity, both constructing temples in the town and, for once, living in harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately by March 2021, Riverwood would decline in activity, and so would ostrich1414. His duties as admin had been largely outweighing his regular playtime, and, simply put, he had lost his passion for the server. Upon Riverwood's stagnation, ostrich1414 largely focused on building map arts, assisting others with small projects, or attending the occasional server event. On March 20th, 2021, ostrich1414 would help train MoWobbler as the newest SimPvP admin, a position which ostrich1414 himself pushed for. Ostrich1414 would also host the server's very first [[Map Art Competition]] throughout this month, with voting being held on April 1st. In total, thirteen map arts would be submitted, and forty-seven people would vote, making this competition a huge success. Ostrich1414 himself had even submitted an entry, "Portland Head Light", which came in second place.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Mo Admin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By early April, ostrich1414 was mentally drained. His latest project had been [[Iron Block]], a literal 32x32 floating cube of iron blocks near spawn, built out of boredom. He had been invited to revisit Three Words upon the base's restoration thanks to the [[Base Restoration Policy]], finally making amends with its members, although the incident still haunted him. Furthermore, ostrich1414 had no clear inspiration or ambition to continue with anything else, with his last project on the server being a refurbishment of a public spawn/end spawn portal with [[willowienal]]. On April 6th, 2021, ostrich1414 decided that it was best to take an extended hiatus and return to SimPvP when he was once again motivated and rejuvenated, marking this as yet another entry in his long list of hiatuses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Iron Block 1.png|400px]] [[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Pain.<br />
<br />
==Disillusionment.==<br />
<br />
So uh, that "hiatus" only lasted around a week. Awkward.<br />
<br />
After this week-long break, ostrich1414 would return to SimPvP, feeling slightly more motivated to play than he had prior to his departure. However, he was not as enthusiastic to play the server as he had once been months, or even years ago, and decided to lean in to a more casual approach of playing SimPvP. Around this time, ostrich1414's old ally cheesy_chips22 had finally returned from his own hiatus, and the two instantly reunited as they pondered the idea of starting a new Wilburian base, as they had worked together on Wilburia in 2020. Thus, on April 19th, 2021, the city of [[São Porco]] was officially founded: this would become the newest headquarters for the Order of Wilbur in their goal to reconstruct themselves and become much more active again. Numerous Wilburian members and allies would be invited to the city, including many former Quabbin and GFC members. Unlike many of ostrich1414's other bases, São Porco would embody a Brazilian-inspired theme, featuring tropical villages, favelas, hilly coasts, and cityscape inspired by the likes of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Ostrich1414 himself would assist cheesy_chips22 in the construction of the city's favelas and villages, shying away from his usual modern style and going for a more unique South American rustic influence in building.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco July 23 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Aside from his new project at São Porco, ostrich1414 would focus on more fun and casual events throughout the next few months on SimPvP. The server's 10 year anniversary would arrive on April 23rd, 2021, with ostrich1414 hosting a still-life museum in the events world, showcasing dioramas of many past wars in the server's history. A few days later on May 2nd, 2021, he would also host the Server Party at Quabbin, a follow-up to his previous Server Party at Quinsigamond back in 2018. The party at Quabbin would become one of the largest gatherings of players in server history, with 27 people showing up to the abandoned city of Quabbin (with ostrich1414 public revealing the coordinates for all to access). While the party would largely run smoothly, OperatorUltra's arrival would result in the deaths of a few party guests, including ostrich1414 himself, and a minor battle taking place. Later, on May 5th, ostrich1414 would be invited to the base Dreamscape by SkullerG, a small medieval-inspired village at the world border. Although his activity here would be minor and temporary, he nonetheless managed to construct two buildings.<br />
<br />
[[File:Server Party at Quabbin Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Server Party at Quabbin 2.png|400px]] [[File:ostrich1414 Dreamscape.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Arguably the most important event during this time period would occur on June 7th, 2021 when, after over two years of being bitter rivals who had been to war twice, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis (then still the Holy States of Francis) officially became allies together. This was a historic peace agreement as both Wilburians and Francillians had been notorious enemies on the server for years, but their post-Imperial War relations had become much more cordial as there proved to be no real benefit to their rivalry in this new era. A large peace summit between the two parties was held as representatives from both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis showed up to discuss terms of peace and alliance, steps for the future, and finally to sign a historic treaty of mutual partnership, with ostrich1414 and Lord1 signing on behalf of their respective parties. Finally, these once-rivals were friends.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COF Summit 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite these monumental events, all was not well for ostrich1414. He was once again growing tired of SimPvP; unmotivated, disinterested, and disillusioned. By this point, he was beginning to notice a pattern in his lack of enjoyment for the server he had called "home" for almost seven years now; times have changed, and he was growing more cynical and unhappy. Much of this negativity was directly derived from ostrich1414's position as SimPvP's most active admin, a title he had been privately irritated by for months. Wanting to return to a more casual playstyle free from the stress and responsibilities of adminship, ostrich1414 submitted a two-week's notice to Yukarion in June 2021, and later resigned on July 7th. After serving as an admin for over a year, ostrich1414 had found that the once-coveted title had degraded him down to a shell of his former self. SimPvP was becoming less and less enjoyable, and the increasing toxicity and bitterness raging throughout the server was a major turn-off. Finally a regular player again, ostrich1414 became less active on the server as he focused on smaller projects here and there, from map arts to minor work around São Porco. Still, despite his depressive state worsening, his resignation as admin had lifted a major weight off of his shoulders.<br />
<br />
[[File:ostrich1414 Last Day as Admin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Degredation.==<br />
<br />
As the server further descended into chaotic toxicity and immorality, ostrich1414's own enjoyment of the server would be continuously tested and regressed. Much of this was due to a heated drama brewing within the server, a drama which ostrich1414 would be reluctantly dragged into. By July 22nd, 2021, the Order of Wilbur would forge an official three-part alliance with the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co., establishing the [[G.S.F.W.]] super-alliance. However, the Order of Wilbur's newfound diplomatic association with these two groups would involve it in an increasingly bitter rivalry with YMP; a few weeks earlier, the Church of Francis and GS Trading Co. had griefed Cope Town, a base in which two YMP members lived. However, even earlier than this, YMP had griefed Riverwood, the OOW and COF's joint spawn base. As such, the OOW would be dragged into this conflict, a conflict which would be made official when, on August 23rd, YMP griefed Sternenfall Nochmal--GS Trading Co.'s second main base which ostrich1414 had been a member of--and declared war against all three members of the G.S.F.W. Later that same day, ostrich1414 would participate in the raid and grief of Skyreach in retaliation for Sternenfall Nochmal. Still, despite this, ostrich1414 would participate very little in the ensuing conflict; on behalf of the OOW, he refused to recognize the "war", and even made attempts to stall aggression and even forge friendliness. One of these attempted acts of avoiding war was his peace conference with [[Nikoxlas]], the leader of the [[Confederacy of Man]] (which, at the time, was also at war with the COF), in order to forge an alliance with the OOW and eventually make peace; unfortunately, this attempt failed.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COM Conference.png|400px]] [[File:Skyreach Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the conflict, dubbed "The Big War" by YMP, continued, ostrich1414 attempted to further isolate himself from it, despite his clear affiliation with the G.S.F.W. Still, the drama was inescapable. One of the members of São Porco, [[bruno_vera]], was also a YMP member--a fact that made the rest of the city's members nervous due to YMP's obsession with griefing it. Ostrich1414, like many other São Porco members, felt that the city's demise was inevitable, and thus preferred to take its destruction into their own hands rather than by a rival group like YMP. Thus, on August 28th, ostrich1414 and several other Wilburians self-griefed São Porco after having raided it, preventing YMP from doing any damage to the city. Unfortunately, the worst of the conflict was yet to come; on September 21st, GS Base #3 (GS's main base at the time) was raided and destroyed by YMP after having been leaked by [[Redbaron1991]], prompting much of GS to leave the server or take a hiatus. By this point in time, ostrich1414 had almost completely isolated himself from the conflict, having no interest in the drama or politics at play, and, instead, wishing to be left alone. Still, he was saddened by GS's departure from SimPvP, as he had forged a long-term alliance with them for over a year.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the grief of São Porco and the very destructive conflict with YMP, ostrich1414 would still find time to enjoy himself on SimPvP--with what little enjoyment he had left. On August 21st, along with [[AntiFreezeFluid]], ostrich1414 founded the city of [[Gosnold]], an island base located roughly 7k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the city grew to be massive, and ostrich1414 invited every member of the Order of Wilbur and several members of the COF and GS. For a little over a month, Gosnold would flourish into a huge megacity, complete with skyscrapers, temples, and a massive offshore statue. Of course, due to only being 7k from spawn, ostrich1414 knew that Gosnold would not last very long, and he was proven correct when, on October 1st, it was severely griefed by [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]]. Other than Gosnold, ostrich1414 would also help found the more permanent city of [[New Yittrium]], the direct successor to São Porco. Shortly after self-griefing São Porco, ostrich1414 and a few of its active remaining members--MoWobbler, cheesy_chips22, willowienal, ElectricChugg, and [[GentleGiant69]]--would move to this new city and establish several farms and buildings, quickly replacing what had been destroyed at their previous base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold Boolin.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, ostrich1414 would begin to decline in activity at both New Yittrium and on the server in general, instead logging on periodically to explore spawn bases or to AFK at farms. With very little interest or incentive to keep playing, ostrich1414 felt that both the server's climate, and his previous enjoyment of it, had been degraded by meaningless conflict. Much like the outcomes of every other SimPvP war, ostrich1414 was once again plunged into a state of disillusionment, although this time, it had been a brewing disillusionment that had reached its climax thanks to the commonality of toxicity and the mass exodus of server regulars. In his eyes, SimPvP was entering another dark age.<br />
<br />
==Things are Looking Up==<br />
<br />
By mid October 2021, ostrich1414 felt that both he, and the server at large, where in one of its lowest points in history. Sick of the drama, toxicity, hatred, and disgust that was running amok on SimPvP, ostrich1414 felt that it was finally time for a change in scenery. On October 17th, he and willoweinal would discover the server Uneasy Vanilla, a semi-anarchy Minecraft server very similar to SimPvP, but with a much friendlier community than what SimPvP had at the time. Immediately falling in love with the server, ostrich1414 would slowly invite more and more SimPvP players to Uneasy Vanilla, building up a large group known as the "Dirty Moss Boys", establishing several bases, and forming relations with many UV regulars. However, after playing on UV for a month, an incident would occur at ostrich1414's main base when the server's admin unlawfully removed their obsidian farm; this severe act of blatant admin abuse angered him and his basemates, and they soon returned to SimPvP by mid November 2021.<br />
<br />
By the time ostrich1414 had returned from his month-long break, some things had changed. One of the players most responsible for the server's hostile toxicity had been jailed, and the conflict between YMP and the G.S.F.W. had largely ended. Furthermore, ostrich1414's experience with blatant admin abuse on UV made him realize that SimPvP was truly the server for him, and he once again became motivated to regularly play. This time, however, ostrich1414 would make a vow of relative neutrality; the conflict with YMP had severely demoralized him, and he did not wish to repeat it again. Instead, ostrich1414 made it his goal to focus on rebuilding and rebranding the Order of Wilbur, which had also suffered from the conflict. Deciding they wanted to instead focus on building, especially spawn projects, ostrich1414 and GentleGiant69 devised a plan to construct massive obsidian statues using their large reserve of obsidian at New Yittrium. Thus, the Order of Wilbur's first obsidian statue would be that of a T-rex on November 23rd; a day later, they would construct the [[Snail]], a massive obsidian snail near spawn. The Snail in particular would become one of the defining moments of the Order of Wilbur's reformation, and the project drew dozens of players to help aid in its construction. The Snail would be completed roughly two days later, consisting of 177,000 blocks of solid obsidian. Although the large project drew its fair share of conflict--including a few battles and an eventual lavacast--the Snail was nonetheless a success in terms of spwan projects, and the beginning of both ostrich1414 and the OOW's return to form.<br />
<br />
[[File:T-Rex Statue.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 1.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
As the OOW grew, adding more members and emphasizing a focus on spawn work, ostrich1414 also found himself starting a new base that would be handled by the group. On November 27th, several players that ostrich1414 had met on Uneasy Vanilla joined SimPvP, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Alongside [[LidGuy]], ostrich1414 brought them far out to a new location, where they eventually settled and founded the city of [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become a unique base, with its membership mostly composed of players who had played Uneasy Vanilla for some significant time; it soon became an affiliate base of the Order of Wilbur, and several other Wilburians were invited to join. Pangaea would flourish throughout the next few months, featuring a series of diverse styles of architecture and builds, from modern skyscrapers to medieval villages to rustic cabins to industrial farms. Ostrich1414 himself would invest heavily into Pangaea, constructing three skyscrapers and also building a sugar cane farm and a blaze farm.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pangaea Skyline January 29.png|400px]] [[File:Chilling in Villager Hall.png|400px]] [[File:Gonmoose at Pangaea 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By December 2021, [[Laztec]]--the OOW's most recent member at the time--would propose the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign, in which he aimed to clean up and repair much of spawn through a variety of different methods. Ostrich1414 personally loved this idea, and felt that their first course of action should be the removal of spawn's excessive water flooding. Thus, the two began to pull together a team of players dedicated to removing spawn's laggy water, with Laztec constructing numerous flying machines capable of removing large amounts of water at once. By mid December, the MSGA had managed to remove a massive section of water at spawn thanks to these efforts.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Between December 2021 and January 2022, ostrich1414's newfound lifestyle of peace and neutrality, emphasized by his focus on OOW projects, had led him to enjoy SimPvP more than he had months prior. On January 4th, 2022, the Order of Wilbur officially left the G.S.F.W. in order to focus on its new commitment to neutrality; only a few days later, both [[jake276493]] and [[MrNutInYourButt]] were jailed and banned for x-raying, removing the little conflict remaining for ostrich1414 and his group. Finally, it felt like things were looking up: the OOW was flourishing, and ostrich1414 was enjoying his time on the server, focusing on building up both Pangaea and New Yittrium, as well as the occasional spawn project with the OOW. SimPvP as a whole was also become far less toxic and dramatic than it had been before his month-long break, and, to ostrich1414, this felt like the beginning of a new era of harmony.<br />
<br />
[[File:SimPvP New Year's Day 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Wholesome: 100==<br />
<br />
The first five months of 2022 quickly proved to be one of the most enjoyable periods of SimPvP for ostrich1414 in recent memory, thanks to the relatively peaceful state the server was in. During this time, ostrich1414 focused primarily on the growth and reformation of the Order of Wilbur, adding new members to the group and expanding its list of projects, from community work at spawn to base building. Ostrich1414 would once again assist Laztec with his MSGA campaign, helping to finish remove the massive water cube at spawn and destroy the many lavacasts at spawn using recently re-enabled TNT duping, as well as destroy the lavacast around the Snail and replacing it with a protective water cube. Furthermore, alongside TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22, ostrich1414 focused on establishing and expanding the Stonetown Memorial Hub, the OOW's private portal hub that features links to many old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. This project would persist over the course of several months, starting in January, with ostrich1414 adding new rooms and one-way portal links while TuataraBoots and cheesy_chips22 helped him decorate.<br />

<br />
Ostrich1414 was also increasingly more active at his bases during early 2022, slowly regaining his motivation to build again after over a year of losing it. At New Yittrium, ostrich1414 focused on a project in which he flattened an entire savannah biome to one single y-level, then placing smooth stone slabs all over it. Inspired by the clear-cut borders of the location, ostrich1414 announced that his district at the base would become its own fully-independent, sovereign city-state known as the Republic of Wachusett. This sudden change soon inspired the rest of New Yittrium to do the same, with everyone establishing their own independent city-states and defining the international borders that separated them. This change to the base proved so great, in fact, that the members of New Yittrium decided to change its name to "Civitrium"; now, "New Yittrium" was just the name of MoWobbler's city-state, whereas "Civitrium" was the base as a whole. All the while, ostrich1414 would work on his own city-state, Wachusett, spending most of his time slabbing the flattened savannah and laying the groundwork for a new city atop it.<br />

<br />
Furthermore, he was also somewhat active at both Void City and Pangaea's successor, [[Kinabalu]]. At Void City, ostrich1414 would build for the first time in over a year, constructing a small apartment building originally designed by Korijenkins. Meanwhile, at Kinabalu, ostrich1414 would construct another one of his famous skyscrapers. Although his activity at Kinabalu would not be as great as at Civitrium's during this time, ostrich1414 had played a major role in founding the city back in February 2022, shortly after the abandonment of Pangaea due to poor security. Kinabalu, nonetheless, would flourish thanks to its many other active members, as would Void City, gaining a boost in building by April 2022.<br />
<br />

<br />
Around this time, ostrich1414 would once again become majorly interested in basehunting, and spent much of April and May 2022 basehunting around the greater spawn region. In fact, much of the OOW was inspired to do the same, and the group had several large basehunting expeditions together. Ostrich1414 and his crew of basehunting Wilburians managed to discover many unique bases during this time, several of which had not been discovered yet. In fact, the Stonetown Memorial Hub that ostrich1414 had been working on would serve as a transportation / storage hub for particular basehunting endeavors.<br />
<br />

<br />
Perhaps the most important event that would occur for ostrich1414 during this time was his reinstatement as admin on April 1st. Although he had originally not planned to ever return as admin again, he was persuaded to try once more by the other SimPvP admins, especially due to his difficulty of running the 2022 Map Art Competition as a non-admin. Nevertheless, the second-annual competition would once again prove to be a success, with eleven map arts being submitted in total and forty-four players coming to vote. Like last time, ostrich1414 would submit his own map art, ''Jules Winnfield'', which came in fourth place. Although ostrich1414 had strongly disliked being admin before, he found himself enjoying it far more this time, primarily due to the more "chill" atmosphere on SimPvP.<br />
<br />
[[File:2022 Map Art Competition Winners.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with a renewed love for SimPvP thanks to the friendlier environment, ostrich1414 found himself participating in several community events. He, along with several other Wilburians, were invited to the "3rd International Lord1 Day" on February 28th, hosted by the Church of Francis. He also aided GS Trading Co. with their removal of the lavacasts at end spawn, helping SkullerG hand-mine many of the lavacasts there over the course of a few months. He even took part in the small community spawn project run by SkullerG, known as "Fartopia", on May 6th. While ostrich1414 was far from being fully active and motivated, he was nonetheless enjoying SimPvP far more than he had in months, and was finally having fun again after nearly two years of server depression. It was truly Wholesome: 100 epic sauce fortnite Keanu Reeves (sorry).<br />

<br />
==Relapse into Stagnation==<br />
<br />
Although 2022 had been a significantly more enjoyable year for ostrich1414 overall, he once again found himself slipping into inactivity by the summer, an inactivity that only increased by the fall. While this inactivity was due to real life responsibilities rather than a disillusionment with SimPvP, it nonetheless resulted in a much slower decline in activity for ostrich1414. Still, he found himself partaking in many server events, particularly alongside the Order of Wilbur.<br />
<br />
July 2022 would be both ostrich1414 and the OOW's most important month of that summer. On July 10th, both ostrich1414 and Laztec founded [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's latest spawn base. Thanks to changes in build depth and terrain generation brought on by SimPvP's transition to 1.18, the group was able to build underneath bedrock at y=0 to create a floating base in the void, something that was not possible before. Shortly after its founding, numerous other Wilburians joined and Shadow Grove grew to become a modest, yet beautifully unique base. It would also take credit as the host the OOW's most important event of the year.<br />
<br />
[[File:Shadow Grove 1.png|400px]] [[File:Shadow Grove 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur officially celebrated its eight year anniversary, something it had been unable to do a year prior. The celebration occurred in two parts: first, all OOW members met in Stonetown, alongside their Church of Francis allies, to exchange gifts and partake in events. Second, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where they hosted an OOW-exclusive celebration. Ostrich1414 would gift each member an individualized, handwritten book, thanking them for all their help in growing the clan, and for making 2022 its best year yet. Afterwards, ostrich1414 and several other members would move on to the build server, where they partook in helping [[Nebuelaz]] test his upcoming event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]]. Having successfully founded and run an eight year old clan, ostrich1414 was truly satisfied to see how far the OOW had come, with this celebration being a highlight of his year.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW 8 Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Despite the promising start of the summer, ostrich1414 soon fell into a period of stagnation, characterized by a new lack of motivation and inactivity. This time, however, it was not brought on by server drama or toxicity, but a general sense of disinterest in SimPvP, and real life responsibilities. Still, ostrich1414 made time for the server, finding himself participating in community events and projects here and there. Ostrich1414 would aid Laztec in his latest spawn effort, a large obsidian structure known as Terabyte, in early August. Alongside several other Wilburians, ostrich1414 helped place obsidian to produce yet another magnificent obsidian build. Later, on August 17th, ostrich1414 would surprisingly join GS Trading Co.'s new base, [[Wasted Disk Space (WDS)]], after being brought there at random by SkullerG (although he would not be active here for the rest of the year). He would also attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration within the Church of Francis, joining as a Wilburian diplomat.<br />
<br />
[[File:Terabyte 1.png|400px]] [[File:MrDavid99 COF Inaguration.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
From September to October, however, ostrich1414 was relatively inactive. At most, he would help out around his three main bases--Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City--and run the OOW behind the scenes. Aside from minor work here and there at these bases, ostrich1414 had a decline in interest, and less time, during these months. It wasn't until November when he would enter a month-long hiatus, not returning to SimPvP until early December. Ironically, this hiatus helped spark a renewed interest within him: ostrich1414 would find himself aiding [[dacegod863]] with his revitalization efforts at [[Fern Springs]], an abandoned OOW base that ostrich1414 himself had founded with TuataraBoots back in March 2022. Still, while things were going much better for ostrich1414, his interest in SimPvP had been steadily waning, only seeing him participate in major server events and projects.<br />

<div>Ever since its inception on April 23rd, 2011, SimPvP has had a long history of different admins and OPs moderating and maintaining the server. The primary job of SimPvP admins is to enforce the three rules, and to ensure that things run smoothly and effectively. This includes jailing/banning hackers, addressing concerns regarding the legality of programs, imposing restrictions on particular actions, etc. Admins also have other capabilities unique to the server: they are able to host [[Events]], and they can use certain commands like /checkonline, /servertell, and /say. Only admins can address the playerbase with the purple text that says <nowiki>[Server]</nowiki>, and only admins can direct message a player with the <nowiki>[Server]</nowiki> function. As such, players should only trust confirmed admins with private or confidential matters.<br />
<br />
Due to SimPvP's longevity, there have been a series of admins who have come and gone; some have remained in the position for years while others have only served for a short period of time. Below is a list of all recorded admins in SimPvP's history, in chronological order, including when they became admin, when they resigned / were removed, and other information. It is important to note that much of the information regarding the first few admins in SimPvP's early days has either been lost to time or heavily disputed, and record-keeping has only improved with time.<br />
<br />
Currently, there are '''eight''' admins: [[Yukarion]], [[MisterStrawman]], [[DakkaDok]], [[MoWobbler]], [[Korijenkins]], [[clipchip]], and [[Laztec]].<br />

<div>Like many Minecraft servers, SimPvP has numerous relevant Discord servers. However, there is only '''one''' official Discord server; the rest are related or affiliated, but unofficial. Most SimPvP-related Discord servers center around the various clans and bases that inhabit the server, but there also exist several other community servers for projects, events, and banter.<br />
<br />
This article will list some of the SimPvP-related Discord servers that have '''public links''', meaning that private Discord servers that are invite-only without a public link will ''not'' be featured here. Any expired links should be updated. That being said, please review the note regarding the official SimPvP Discord server, as the link is not public.<br />
<br />
Anyone is welcome to add their public server to this list, so long as the link never expires and it is related and relevant to SimPvP in some form.<br />

<br />
Nebuelaz was a disturbingly active player who joined SimPVP on the 4th of August 2020, after being invited by [[Burger_Malone]].<br />
<br />
Although previously being well known for his neutrality and 8 hour playtime per day, he fell from grace during much of his second year on Sim, having taken part in far more raiding and griefing than he was comfortable with. Recently he has joined the Order of Wilbur and is currently enjoying the tranquility of peace. <br />
=Neb Psychology=<br />
<br />
==Code of Honour==<br />
<br />
Nebuelaz lives to a Code of Honour which has a very rigid set of forgiving codes. To take one of his quotes, "I am not a vengeful person, but I do not forget." The Codes of Honour are shared below. I would encourage people to behave similarly but it is not a requirement. People are allowed to do what they want. I DO NOT UPHOLD EVERYONE ELSE TO MY STANDARDS! THESE ARE STRICTLY HOW I CHOOSE TO JUDGE MYSELF.<br />
<br />
1. Code of Life : Do not kill others for sport or material gain. (This includes assisting others to kill)<br />
2. Code of Privacy : Do not share information provided in confidence. All information not said publicly, is considered "in confidence" unless otherwise stated, or illegal.<br />
3. Code of Respect : Every person shall be given the "Neutral" Status, regardless of initial opinions.<br />
4. Code of Acts : People shall be judged by the sum of their parts. I do not approve of pirating, but I do not dislike a person for partaking.<br />
5. Code of Truth : Do not lie to others unless it is needed to protect the Code of Privacy. (Code 2) Not telling the truth is different to lying.<br />
6. Code of Greed : Do not go overboard when looting a base or stealing from a person. (Explained below)<br />
7. Code of Peace : NEVER grief a base. And NEVER actively seek to partake in war or conflicts.<br />
8. Code of Reliability : Never attempt to deceive another player, through trickery, false information or any method that preys on half truths or ignorance. <br />
<br />
*It is worth noting that Nebuelaz is not perfect and is prone to mistakes<br />
<br />
Code of Life. Nebuelaz will not provide equipment for fights in /world or provide information on people in End Spawn. Any way in which he could potentially "assist" the kill is protected.<br />
<br />
Code of Privacy. Information whispered or shown to Nebuelaz is all protected inherently. You do not need to ask to keep it private. He must ask to make it public, unless it is illegal, such has Xray.<br />
<br />
Code of Respect. Status' are actually privately dispersed. Nebuelaz does not have to tell you your status. Status' will be shared below.<br />
<br />
Code of Greed. Often stripping a base dry of all resources is worse than griefing it, so this code has been instated. This will be different for each occasion, but looting a base that Nebuelaz has found is acceptable. If the base is going to be stripped clean anyway, Nebuelaz will save what he can. If he is the only person at the base, then small items, tokens and minor amounts of resources, can be taken. Not more than 10% of a given resource, give or take. In unique circumstances, Nebuelaz will have to make a judgement call at the moment how much to take, but this code will aid Nebuelaz in insuring his actions do not over steal in an incredibly greedy manor. <br />
<br />
The Code of Greed will of course state that "Friends" status, people shall have nothing stolen. Unless unique rare items are just going to be destroyed in which he will now attempt to rescue and return them.<br />
<br />
==Neb Status==<br />
<br />
Nebuelaz will assign everyone the "Neutral" status upon meeting them and actions over time will change or alter this status. Nebuelaz does not have to share this information. Status' are shown below. PLEASE NOTE! These Statuses are VERY FLUID and there isn't some chart somewhere with everyones status. These statuses are general ideas on how I will view people not actual titles or roles.<br />
<br />
Threatening Status - This is reserved for those who are actively threatening to Neb, as in have potential and motive to attack him. Nebuelaz will comply with his ENTIRE Code of Honour. BUT will actively try to thwart all efforts against him through means he finds "fair game". This does not mean griefing.<br />
<br />
Hostile Status - This is reserved for those who are rude or toxic for little to no reason. Nebuelaz will "usually" remain civil, but will do you no favours.<br />
<br />
Neutral Status - Nebuelaz will treat you general respect, kindness and wiliness to give away small gifts if needed. You may be invited to parties/events Nebuelaz hosts.<br />
<br />
Friend Status - Nebuelaz likes you, having spent time with you. He will be willing to give you larger gifts and discounts. You will likely be invited to parties and would possibly base with you given the right circumstances.<br />
<br />
Special Thanks Status - You are some of Nebs favorite people. He will give you anything you want if he has it. If he is starting a new base, you have a good chance of being invited. He will seek bases with you.<br />
<br />
<br />
''Nebuelaz' opinion on Annexing at this moment is unclear. For the large part, he is against it, aside from certain circumstances. This may change in the future''<br />
<br />
<br />
Status can be lost if the player : <br />
*Clearly is abusing this status in an attempt to manipulate or belittle Nebuelaz. <br />
*Disrespects Nebuelaz for no other purpose than random hatred. This will not punish justified hatred. (Jokes are fine, but random hatred is not something that intends to rewarded.)<br />
*Betrays Nebuelaz' trust for personal gain at Nebuelaz' cost. (Viewed on a case by case basis but is ultimately down to Nebs discretion.)<br />
*Abhorrently objects to Nebuelaz' moral code to the point that Nebuelaz can no longer respect that person.<br />
*Griefs a base. This will reduce status based on the justification of the grief. And the severity of the blow.<br />
*An unprovoked or Unjustified assault'. If the assault is justified, i.e a war or a clan rivalry, then this will not be revoked. This is a lesser offense.<br />
*Scams. This is will revoke of status, due to gross objection to Nebuelaz' moral code.<br />
<br />
Things that wont revoke any status, but may inhibit a rise in status :<br />
<br />
*Insults and Disrespect between OTHER players. This is not talking about jokes. Jokes are completely fine.<br />
*Griefing of Bases. Nebuelaz does not approve. And in general despises it. This will remain here for CERTAIN griefs that are understandable, once again at Nebs Discretion.<br />
*Piracy in World. Whilst Nebuelaz would never partake and dislikes it as a whole, it is not punishable.<br />
*Unjustified assault of other players. This is not punishable, although Nebuelaz would disagree with most killings.<br />
<br />
''No matter your considered status, Nebuelaz will ALWAYS uphold his code of honour. No matter how much he dislikes you, or is threatened by you, his code of honour INCLUDES EVERYONE.''<br />
<br />
''Neb Neutrality was an unearned title proven by recent events and so has been updated. Neutrality is truly difficult to embody, but I intend to do my best to do so from now on.''<br />
<br />
=History=<br />
<br />
==The Storm Arrives==<br />
Upon joining Sim, Nebuelaz built a small underground tunnel which he quickly left for greener pastures. <br />
<br />
===Hurricane=== <br />
After battling his way out of spawn, Nebuelaz travelled a reasonable distance to form his first main base, [[Hurricane]]. This was started as a massive, hand-mined underground expanse to be filled with farms and various builds. This was an early safe haven for the new player at the time, as they grappled with the new world that lay before them. However the project slowly became more and more of an impossibility and decided to make a simpler first base. Above the mined out area, numerous stone and Prismarine topped towers were scattered across the nearby mountain range. Homes were imbedded into the sides of the mountain and would be why the name of Hurricane was chosen.<br />
<br />
Hurricane was home to Nebuelaz's army of rabbits, notably the elite upper echelon: Glimmer, Pitch, Skimmer (2020-2020, RIP), Dutch, and Shimmer. They were beneath all beneath The Dragon Aspect of Tranquility, Naru, which was weakened during the last war against The Ender Dragon. Consequentially, Naru took form of a white Rabbit and was originally homed in a hidden chamber at Hurricane. Due to the locations prominence, and its coords being virtually public to the dedicated community, the Aspect would later be moved to Tempest.<br />
<br />
[[File:NebHurricane2.png|400px]] [[File:NebHurricane1.png|400px]] [[File:NebHurricane3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Nebuelaz would later invite a few others, including [[Sice_01]], [[bruno_vera]], [[Ragdety]], [[seventwoworlds]], and [[Dawn4811]], to join him at Hurricane, though it was largely a solo base. The base would see numerous invited players to visit, such as [[Ostrich1414]], [[MoWobbler]], [[cmlove]], [[Xexc]] and controversially, [[Sellout9]], [[AntHand]], [[Jake276493]] and [[BossCoww]], which would eventually lead to what would be remembered by those involved as The Hurricane Incident.<br />
<br />
===The Order of the Wyvern===<br />
<br />
Nebuelaz had big dreams at the time and dreamed of building a semi-large group based on a notable dragon based lore. He would create the religion of The Order of The Wyvern with a codex written out and a history of the order. He also created The Wyverns Principate which was made to be the groups military sector. Overall this group would quickly recruit Ragdety but that was all, and the group never really went anywhere. ''''Banners shown below'''<br />
<br />
==Building Bridges==<br />
<br />
===Peace in PvP World===<br />
<br />
Early on, when Nebuelaz became bored of his solemn playstyle, he began to travel into /world more and more often. [[Goujon]] was the first person to kill Nebuelaz as he was trading with [[Sice_01]] who was selling him a God Pick Axe. Nebuelaz proceeded to spend much of his time naked in /world where he met many of [[GFC]]. He was given a lot of starting gear from [[JESUS_Warrior69]], [[GentleGiant69]], [[ElectricChugg]] and [[Willowienal]] and was starting to integrate into the community. <br />
<br />
Nebuelaz decided to pioneer build projects in the public PVP world. Initially, he started with a hidden grotto, keeping its exact location a secret and only inviting people he trusted.<br />
Soon, however, he decided to build more publicly: above 0,0, Nebuelaz constructed a tidy trading area, complete with a PVP arena. This was relatively well-maintained, though eventually destroyed after numerous successive griefs by [[Gem_Productions]].<br />
<br />
[[File:NebWorld0.png|400px]][[File:NebWorld1.png|400px]] [[File:NebWorld2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
===The Skybox===<br />
<br />
Within just weeks of joining, Nebuelaz was invited to [[seventwoworlds]]' base, [[Skybox]] and his group of The D.E.C. During his time at the base, Nebuelaz aided in building a few sections of the base including an auto fisher by the automatic gold farm. He spent a fair amount of time at the base but was more focused at building at [[Hurricane]] instead.<br />
<br />
[[File:NebSkybox.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
===Barrier Town===<br />
Along with [[SkullerG]], Nebuelaz was the founding member of [[Barrier Town]], a famous spawn build with a dense history.<br />
<br />
He focused broadly on constructing statues and buildings, while [[SkullerG]] created the unique 'barrier blocks'. Shortly afterwards a party was had at the base which was attended by a large group of people.<br />
<br />
[[File:Barrier Town View 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The Calm before the Storm==<br />
<br />
===Tempest rises===<br />
As Nebuelaz solidified himself as an active player, he aimed to move on to bigger, better things. He felt Hurricane was too close to spawn for a sustainable, active base, so he travelled a far greater distance this time. Finding a suitable location, Nebuelaz founded his new base: Tempest. With [[Ragdety]], he rapidly expanded Tempest, this time including several industrial farms. The city would become the home of The Order of the Wyvern, with all their major farms and storage based there. It was the Jewel of an otherwise barren kingdom but was their pride.<br />
<br />
[[File:NebTempest.png|400px]][[File:2020-12-28 17.06.42.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Twilight Network===<br />
<br />
Nebuelaz began to construct plans for a portal hub. But one which would be as secure as a Portal Hub can be, and completely disconnected from the most important locations. The Twilight Project was initialized and put into place creating a vast network of portals across well over 10 random locations, which would take you around between the 4 vectors, Savaleo, Minarius, Aulong (As well as Old Aulong) and a Final vector which has now been forgotten. This network would traverse Nebuelaz from all his bases, such as Tempest, Hurricane, Skybox, Skyreach and any other base. It also had other random locations such as Brunoland, Dixieland and [[Ostrich1414's Portal Hub]]. It would also pass through some of Nebuelaz' lesser projects such as Netherwind Castle and Coldstone Castle. These routes also include florestria and The MBI Gold farm, which was annex during the Imperial war. Many of these bases would be added after this, however this was when Twilight itself was created. A far out end location which housed some of the portals, but most were instead set at Dusk Site-B. This was as Twilight was the most important location to Nebuelaz at the time and keeping it safe was of paramount importance. Getting to Twilight at the time of construction and nearly even up to current day, was virtually impossible or bordering along X-Ray.<br />
<br />
Later having shown Twilight to Ragdety and [[Jake276493]], for some reason, Nebuelaz would come to the conclusion that Twilight had been a failure of a portal hub, lacking the security he had wished from the original plan of it being an entirely private base. This would spark Nebuelaz to fly out even further into the end for a new secure location. This however wouldn't be done until [[Skyreach]]. <br />
<br />
==The Raging Storm==<br />
<br />
===The Imperial War===<br />
<br />
During the darker times of War, Nebuelaz found himself partaking in the ongoing fighting, taking sides with [[Ostrich1414]] and The Peoples Coalition in The Imperial War. Despite numerous bouts in /world and an Ambush in the Overworld, Nebuelaz amazingly never died in the war, although was popped twice by [[Lord1]] in a single battle. Nebuelaz however was far more useful in the scouting position, keeping an eye on Spawn for Francillian movement as well as being posted at Hurricane and Florestria as a watchman. During the war, Nebuelaz manufactured Tempestrial weapons and armour in the war effort, but few would see combat or use, as /world was turned to Hard difficulty, leading to less combat in the world.<br />
<br />
During this time, Nebuelaz would begin a new project with YMP and after being asked by [[E lee]] to join them for a base. After agreeing, YMP and The Order would begin construction of a giant lake which would be the foundation of their join base project named at the time gravity falls: gRaPPliNg hOOk. This project would have ended up reaching the name [[Shimmerlake]] and would see great progress in its short life during the war. Despite the conflict, Nebuelaz did not dislike The Church of Francis, nor its members and was mildly out of place in this setting. All this lead to was fear of griefing and Nebuelaz tended be easily spooked and on edge. During the war, Nebuelaz would take a brief break from Minecraft due to real life reasons, and upon returning would find that the day after deciding to take a break, Florestria and Axetown were both griefed. This had taken Nebuelaz gravely has he felt that keeping watch on Florestria had been his job during the war, and felt he had let down the other members of The PC. What was worse was that [[Shimmerlake]] was also discovered and griefed. This would take almost all the fight out of Nebuelaz who was done with the war. However he would not surrender, nor take peace, until The Coalition agreed.<br />
<br />
Soon after returning, the Peoples Coalition agreed with the Church of Francis, now formerly The Holy States of Francis, to a peace and an end to the fighting, after Three Words was annexed. This would be the end of the war, and the return of peace and prosperity. As Nebuelaz flew the green flag above Tempest, to proudly announce The Cities return to peace. The Church of Francis banners were added to the Tower to represent The Order of The Wyverns friendship and peace towards them.<br />
<br />
==Reach for the Sky==<br />
<br />
Having returned to the server [[Jake276493]] offered Nebuelaz a position at a new base. The idea being to keep the spirit of gRaPPliNg hOOk but this time at a safer location. Nebuelaz had been very disheartened by gRaPPliNg hOOks demise and was all for a new location. Together, they came up with the idea for the base, and Nebuelaz wanted to build a huge tower at the center, surrounded by a large mountain range. This idea stuck and Neb built the base of the tower, flattening the area with the help of the other bases members. This gave Neb the idea for the name of this base, surrounding this tower. And although the base was kept on the quiet originally due to some founded, and some unfounded hatred towards YMP. The city would soon start to become public knowledge. Skyreach. The city was never finished in its 5 month life.<br />
<br />
===A Fast Start===<br />
<br />
Skyreach was started quickly with almost all of its original members online regularly and building. [[E lee]] built a storage site whilst Nebuelaz built a reservoir and [[Jake276493]] built the mountain range with Nebuelaz. Soon the members began to work on their own sections of the base and Nebuelaz took similarly, working on The Insitution. An underground facility designed and inspired by SCP sites. White halls with imprisoned "Employees" and mysterious artifacts. The site would also have a few farms mainly built by Ragdety and [[Jake276493]]. <br />
<br />
===A Relaxing Skyline===<br />
<br />
The original rush was followed by a much more relaxed approach. Nebuelaz enjoyed the company of the others at the base and whilst they continued to build farms and builds, it was a very relaxed atmosphere. Most members believed the base would last for a while and were not in the greatest of rushes to have it completed. This lead to many unfinished projects but the base was certainly coming along. Nebuelaz was a bit pushy overall, wanting to finish his sections as fast as possible, but understood the more relaxed mindset. Many incredibly powerful farms were constructed and slowly Nebuelaz took on the more relaxed playstyle.<br />
<br />
===Turbulence===<br />
<br />
As The Skyreach was slowly being built, Nebuelaz began to notice some frustrations with himself and Ragdety. He seemed to be growing further and further apart from the group. Ragdety one time saying he felt he wasn't part of the base. Just a visitor. This would frustrate Nebuelaz who enjoyed Ragdety's company as he did at Tempest and Hurricane before. Nebuelaz began to feel Ragdety was upset with him, as he never seemed to be motivated and started to spend more and more time apart from the group. Nebuelaz vocalized his frustrations over the situation with [[Jake276493]] but in the end there was very little that could really be done about the situation. It was sometimes to hard to see if there was even a real problem.<br />
<br />
===The Reliquary of Naru===<br />
<br />
Nebuelaz had finally finished flying out into the end and created [[The Reliquary of Naru]]. At its core the location was a storage location with some symbolic holy meaning within [[The Wyvernblade]]. The location was built with Diorite and Blackstone and buried inside of an Endstone Island. Nebuelaz was incredibly proud of it and began to move all of his most valuable goods to the site. The location had only 1 portal to it which was to a random overworld location dug underground fairly far out. Here was a small simple room, following the same theme, but with a bed in the center. The location was directly below an end portal and so could easily be traversed to end spawn. No other portals to or from The Reliquary exist.<br />
<br />
This became slightly troublesome as Nebuelaz wanted to move all his shulkers to the site, but struggled to trade as /world was often camped by The Holy States of Francis or The Operators, who would both kill Nebuelaz on sight, as well as interrupt the trades. The hostility between YMP and The States was something Nebuelaz had hoped he could avoid or at least amend, however conflict continued to boil and had dragged Nebuelaz into conflict once again. This would start a period of Sims life which would make trading very difficult.<br />
<br />
===Skyfall===<br />
<br />
On the 13th of May, 2021 there was a catastrophic event. Beforehand Ragdety had spoken of joining a Church of Francis base, which Nebuelaz had supported if he truly didn't feel welcome at [[Skyreach]]. This ended up going nowhere, but Ragdety had started to spend less time with the base members, instead spending a lot of time with Francillian members. This was slowly compiling Nebuelaz' fears that Ragdety would leave the base in frustration against the rest of YMP. But on the day itself, Ragdety had made an outburst, revealing sensitive information about Skyreach publicly in game. This was an outburst which seemingly came out of nowhere and very much angered Nebuelaz who felt betrayed and very frustrated that he would do that. Luckily for YMP and Skyreach, neither of the chat bots had recorded the moment and the server was restarted quickly by somebody else as TPS was 9 at the time.<br />
<br />
This set of sirens in Nebuelaz' head as he began to fear that Ragdety could explode at any point and so began to stockpile valuables and shulkers outside the city, in a hidden stash. The group tentatively continued to build at the base, thinking that the information hadn't been read by anyone, and that Ragdety would come around. But just 2 days later, Nebuelaz was to log in to find the rest of YMP packing all their stuff in a state of panic, evacuating the city. The fear was simple and both Ragdety and all of YMP talked to me about the situation. With the limited information provided to Nebuelaz, he felt that he could not trust Ragdety anymore and feared that their partnership was finally at an end. Despite being together from a very early part in Hurricanes life, Nebuelaz chose to trust and remain within YMP.<br />
<br />
===A Quiet Wind===<br />
<br />
On the 18th of May, YMP marched out of Skyreach through endspawn in force, with the majority of the active members at the base carrying fully inventories of shulkers evacuating out of Skyreach and to a new safe location. It was a nervous journey as The Church of Francis and The Operators had been consistently camping Endspawn. A decoy was sent through first, in the form of Dawn4811, checking if the coast was clear and calling in the rest. The mission was succesful and with it all ties and connections to [[Skyreach]], [[YMP COBBLESTONE SQUARE]], [[Tempest]], [[Twilight]], [[Shimmerlake]](gRaPPLINg hOOk) and [[Hurricane]] were destroyed. A sad farewell and a new start for Nebuelaz. <br />
<br />
==A New Start==<br />
<br />
With Everything aside from [[The Reliquary of Naru]] having been abandoned, Nebuelaz now based with YMP at a new base called [[Ravenglass]]. This is the start of a new, journey with almost all memories of the past on sim having being lost now to Nebuelaz, he readies himself for a brand new start on sim with all its struggles. Gaining all the resources he had before, being able to supply himself with everything he needs, as well as being able to gather resources for builds, it is now a brand new start on Sim for Nebuelaz. One he hopes wont be filled with as much war, turbulence and frustration as the last.<br />
<br />
===Some Quieter Days===<br />
<br />
After Ravenglasses quick construction, YMP presence on the server had reached a low point. Shortly afterwards, the group would resurge slightly, with a new base of [[Fort Rios]] as a more secure location than [[Ravenglass]]. But the group felt like it struggled to gain too much traction there before dying out. Nebuelaz would be often bored on the server and began to play less and less. His time on the server only started to decrease even as new members of [[DKC]], [[1590283112]], [[Talksalot]] and [[White_Flame]] joined the group. There were many small conflicts and events throughout that time, but Nebuelaz tried his hardest to simply avoid it. Finding the server boring, empty and lacking of inspiration as minor conflicts arose between YMP and the rest of the server.<br />
<br />
===Get up offa that Thing!===<br />
<br />
Nebuelaz finally made the decision to get up off his backside and get to work. He filled up a shared accounts inventory with sugar cane and gunpowder and began to head out to the "New" New base. And thus began the long flight to "New" New Base. The flight took over a month of meticulously secure traveling to get to the base location. And towards the end, he had great hopes for the new base, coining the name [[Ymperia]]. He looked forward to building a new base, having very high hopes for it and planning much of its sections weeks before even having arrived. <br />
<br />
==The GSFW YMP Conflict==<br />
<br />
Having known the YMP was preparing for what they were calling The Big War, Nebuelaz knew that griefing was on the horizon, and expected his own bases to be targets alongside all of YMP's. Towards the end of his traveling to Ymperia, he hoped that the conflict would be forgotten and that the main members of [[Ymperia]] would focus instead on working at the base. He began to talk to some of YMP's members about calling off the targeted attacks, saying they would never find any base of value. However this would not age well as a comment.<br />
<br />
On August 22nd 2021, [[jake276493]] would find [[Sternenfall Nochmal]] and loot and grief it. Nebuelaz turned up to inspect the base, map the area and leave. Whilst not staying for the grief, finding it in poor taste, he did not try to stop YMP from doing so. Almost the day after Nebuelaz logged in to find [[G.S.F.W.]] withering Skyreach and asked if he could visit it one last time. They graciously allowed him to visit the base which had been severely destroyed. With that began the most eventful period of the conflict between GSFW and YMP. Nebuelaz took little part in the conflict overall, as COM and YMP bases were destroyed. <br />
<br />
As the conflict dragged on, Nebuelaz grew increasingly tired of griefs and locations which were being targeted. He had started construction of Ymperia and was trying to overall ignore the events. However as the conflict began to drag on, Nebuelaz grew anxious, and tried to convince other members of YMP, that they had already won destroyed the best base they could and further fighting or griefing was pointless. Many members spoke of how they were disappointed with the lack of fighting and ultimately Nebuelaz felt that the conflict would soon be over again, with little chance of any further major bases being located. Nebuelaz was hoping that things would pan out his way.<br />
<br />
===Darkest Hour===<br />
<br />
On the 21st of September 2021, Nebuelaz was given the opportunity that he never thought he would. He was given the chance to loot and raid GS's new main base. He took up the chance with [[MrNutInYourButt]] and [[1590283112]]. After 4 hours the location was fully looted and it was just Nebuelaz left at the base. The location was completely leaked and vulnerable, along with much of its wealth being stolen or robbed. For some reason, Nebuelaz dropped his peaceful ways and disassociation with the conflict, and all the friendships he had made to commit a terrible act. His belief was that GS was the only threat to [[Ymperia]] and decided he needed to deal a killer blow to GS Trading Co.<br />
He griefed the base with a small amount of TnT and a large number of withers, before returning to [[Ymperia]]<br />
<br />
After Nebuelaz has stated that The Big War or the conflict is over in his eyes and he will no longer recognize any more griefs as actions within the conflict, or as YMP authorized events. <br />
<br />
===The Fall of an Empire===<br />
<br />
Nebuelaz was quick to try to forget the events of the previous conflict, and began to work on [[Typhoon]] trying to prompt his base mates to do the same. However going against his words and hopes the other members of the base decided in the empty silence that occurred, caused by the shattering implications of the conflict, to base hunt instead. They spent hours upon hours blowing up holes in end islands as well as following trails. This lead to more bases and locations being exposed, looted and ultimately usually griefed. Nebuelaz continued to build and hoped that his teammates within YMP would eventually decide to join him. But they never did and they would never get the chance to again.<br />
<br />
Jake276493 and MrNutinYourButt, would be jailed on the 11th of January 2022, as the admin team had been investigating them for an extended period of time and found them guilty of Xray to locate and loot bases. Despite an appeal and an insistence of innocence the admin team was not convinced by the appeal and stuck with the decision to jail the players. This would be a devestating blow to [[Ymperia]], as Nebuelaz became the last active member of the base and group, whereas the other members would leave sim and would be unlikely to return unless Jake and MrNut were unjailed.<br />
<br />
This would be the unofficial end of YMP as the last active member of the group, Nebuelaz, wasn't too happy with his base mates due to their reckless endangerment of his base which ultimately has left it in a weak and precarious position to this day. The bad reputation of YMP was now exclusively tied to just Nebuelaz as it's last active member, not to mention the base would be fairly inactive and difficult to manage for a single player. This also left Nebuelaz on a figurative mountain of loot from bases which were now being restored.<br />
<br />
Much of the bases wealth was kept but much of the loot from looted bases was tossed into the Void. Nebuelaz would also seperate [[Typhoon]] from [[Ymperia]] due to the political climate and the fact that he didn't wish to build a base which was massive in scope, and too big to complete alone.<br />
<br />
==New Horizons==<br />
<br />
===A Moment, Fractured===<br />
<br />
Nebuelaz began to slowly return to his roots and decided to move much of his wealth to a separate location, uncertain as to the YMP members reactions to the jailings. This location became known as "A Moment, Fractured", this base has remained secret until now. The first section would be a farm section known as Echo Base, but due to the fact that it is so early in development and Nebuelaz realizing that a base known as Echo Base already exists, the name has been changed to Epsilon 9. This location would serve as the storage for Nebuelaz.<br />
<br />
A page for this will be made when it is more relevant.<br />
<br />
===Curse of Stone===<br />
<br />
Having been building at [[Typhoon]] alone for some time, Nebuelaz began to repair bridges with members of all of the other major groups and spent a good amount of time speaking with [[ostrich1414]]. And after prolonged talks, Nebuelaz was invited into The Order of Wilbur where he became the 16th member of the group. Not too long afterwards, he decided to try and give himself some time to forget the events, finding [[Typhoon]] to be a cursed location, one which constantly reminded him of all the war and destruction that it was built upon. And so decided to accept the invitation of [[LidGuy]] and the other members of [[Kinabalu]], where he became the 19th member at the base.<br />
<br />
Upon arriving Nebuelaz was impressed with the scale of the base and loved the styles of the base coming together. The skyscrapers were surprisingly nicely shaped and designed, the castles brilliant landscaping and buildings making for a picturesque view upon the mount, and much of the other buildings being well designed and nicely placed, such as Craftgirlies house, the villager hall and a very unique and clever villager breeder. Nebuelaz was late to the base, but wanted to have something worthy of the location. And so decided to try a smaller to medium sized build that he would be guaranteed to complete so that he contributed to the base positively. And so he began with the Castle Ashheath.<br />
Before long he had finished the newly christened Castle Nebuelaz, and was to be invited to [[Void City]] by [[KoriJenkins]] and graciously accepted, building the Menagerie Tropica tower. Nebuelaz began to fall into inactivity due to many factors, including the servers fate on certain policies which would determine his farms or builds. <br />
<br />
===Eventful Future===<br />
<br />
On November 10th, A trailer was released for [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]], an event made by Terabyte Games, a group made of [[Nebuelaz]], [[MoWobbler]] and [[Laztec]]. The event was a huge success and Nebuelaz paved the way for updates and future events. Things were looking up. But the day is brightest before the dusk... Or something like that... I think.<br />
<br />
==Full Circle==<br />
<br />
Times were changing and with it so was the server. Tensions were rapidly rising and ultimately Nebuelaz would resign from The Order of Wilbur instead choosing to remain an affiliate but simply a singular entity. And slowly Nebuelaz began to retreat into an isolated chamber away from the rest of the server. Officially deciding to disband [[The Wyvernblade]], as he realizes it would never be what he wanted it to be. Similar to his beginnings on sim, he now has no loyalties or ties and has existed. The server has seen it's fair share of quiet days and today it seems it's only a quieter road ahead.<br />
<br />
=Visited Locations= <br />
He has visited many notable locations, including [[Oberstein]], [[Virunum]], [[Java Linsghey]], [[Shakatak]], [[Yittrium]], and [[Florestria]]. [[Quabbin]].<br />

<br />
The Order of Wilbur is the oldest and longest-running clan still active today on SimPvP, having been founded shortly after the tragic death of [[Wilbur]] the Pig on July 29th, 2014, in [[Stonetown]]. Starting off as a very secretive and secluded cult dedicated to worshipping the life of their holy martyr Wilbur, the clan has since evolved and morphed over the years into a much larger and more public organization, shying away from its strictly-religious roots and branching off into the realms of base building and spawn projects. Unlike many other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur has always been very exclusive in its membership, and has maintained a tight-knit community with shared goals and values.<br />

=Membership=<br />
<br />
For many years, the Order of Wilbur has kept its membership private and confidential from the public, maintaining a model of secrecy and exclusivity. However, as the clan has grown and evolved over the years, the ability to maintain this secrecy frequently came into question. As of December 9th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur began to publicly reveal its membership list, no longer keeping its members confidential from the rest of the server. However, unlike other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur does not have any ranks or hierarchies; everyone is equal.<br />

=Beliefs and Structure=<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has slowly begun to open itself up to the public over the years, the clan nevertheless keeps much of its inner workings secret, including its core beliefs and objectives. However, the Order of Wilbur has maintained two primary goals regarding the worship of its Divine Lord, [[Wilbur]]:<br />
<br />
*To honor, worship and promote the life and teachings of Wilbur the Pig, who was so quickly taken from us.<br />
*To connect with Wilbur's heavenly spirit through holy rituals and offerings.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur was originally founded as a religious cult, and still primarily operates as a religious cult, it has slowly shed this aspect of its identity over time and has embraced a more secular approach to its format. That being said, the clan still worships Wilbur as its one true god, and nearly every Wilburian operated or affiliated base has a temple or "sanctuary" built at it for worship. Wilburian temples typically follow a similar theme, embracing the colors of pink, red, yellow, and orange as its primary team colors--this often leads to temples harboring a "fiery" aesthetic, with heavy lava and nether brick usage. Wilbur is still regarded as the team's idol and mascot, and although members are not forced to engage in religious practices, the worship of Wilbur as an idol is encouraged. "The Life of Wilbur", a book written by [[ostrich1414]] in 2014 while stoned, is often regarded as the clan's holiest text.<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur believes heavily in equality and refuses to discriminate within its membership. There are currently no ranks and no hierarchy within the group. While ostrich1414, as the team's original founder and oldest active member, is often regarded as its de facto "leader", he is not officially the leader of the Order of Wilbur, and instead regards himself as an elder founder. Every member of the group is equal and decisions are often made democratically. Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur encourages individuality and self-expression among its members, never denying their freedom of speech and allowing all members to express themselves as Wilburians however they wish.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has historically been an isolated team and has engaged in several wars, it has since favored a more diplomatic and oftentimes pacifistic approach to its political outlook. The Order of Wilbur no longer wishes to engage in battles, griefs, or wars unless absolutely necessary, preferring to sit out of major political crises. The team's primary focus consists of base building and spawn projects, with many unique cities and structures under its belt over the years. In recent times, the team has dedicated itself to community efforts in and around the spawn region, as well as organizing both team events and large server events, as well as constructing breathtaking megacities and iconic spawn structures.<br />
<br />
In terms of membership, the Order of Wilbur is very exclusive, only inviting trusted and well-respected regular players into its inner circle. New players are not allowed to become Wilburians, and anyone interested in joining must first prove their worth through server activity, hard work, and respect. Furthermore, new recruits are often approached by Wilburians to join, rather than vice versa, and initiations into the clan typically occur at the their holiest city, [[Stonetown]], in the form of a minor ceremony. The Order of Wilbur prefers a "quality over quantity" approach with its membership, and has carefully crafted a catalogue of well-respected and influential members over the years. In fact, the Order of Wilbur has laid claim to more [[Admins]] than any other team on SimPvP: as of December 2021, the Order of Wilbur has had five admins within its membership, with four currently serving as members, and one being a former admin.<br />
<br />
=Registry of Holy Sites=<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur, as of September 2021, established its "Official Registry of Holy Sites"--bases, places, and locations on SimPvP that have inherent holy and historic value to the Order of Wilbur, its culture, and its beliefs. The only condition is that a Holy Site must no longer be active as a settlement. These locations are thus listed as "Holy Sites" and are recognized as important for preservation.<br />

==July 29th, 2014==<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014 in the small community of [[Stonetown]], player [[ostrich1414]] was on a mission to receive every achievement that Minecraft offered. As the achievements began to get more difficult, one of them stood out from the rest: "When Pigs Fly". To get this achievement, a player must ride atop a pig using a saddle and fly him off of a cliff, potentially killing both entities in the process. Thus, ostrich1414 went to pursue this goal as he searched the town for a seemingly harmless, innocent pig to use for his own desires.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The pig that ostrich1414 eventually found was named [[Wilbur]]: a pig who would soon become iconic. After mounting Wilbur and climbing up to the top of Stonetown's infamous Tree Dome, ostrich1414 pushed Wilbur forward and the two plummeted to their deaths, both dying upon impact.<br />
<br />
This death sparked server-wide controversy as players condemned ostrich1414 and his brutal actions which had resulted in Wilbur's murder. Almost immediately after the atrocity occurred, a memorial for Wilbur was constructed in both /world and in his hometown, Stonetown. A national mourning for his death was ordered and the date has since become that of legend.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Birth of a Cult==<br />
<br />
Immediately after the death of Wilbur, ostrich1414, with some help from [[JavelinFury]], established the Order of Wilbur in his honor. The Order of Wilbur was originally meant to be a highly secretive cult dedicated to worshipping Wilbur as a holy martyr, unjustly killed. For the first two years of its lifespan, the OOW was relatively quiet; only a handful of selected players were allowed to join the cult, including ostrich1414 and JavelinFury, as well as [[pippenger]], [[unclechain]], and [[INDIGO011]]. While membership was strict and exclusive, public knowledge of the cult was even more so: very few on the server were made aware of the OOW, and its rituals and values were kept secret. As Stonetown's activity soon waned and was eventually abandoned by late 2014, ostrich1414 still utilized the base as the OOW's headquarters, with it becoming the cult's unofficial capital city and holy ground.<br />
<br />
Between 2014 and 2015, the Order of Wilbur mostly constructed small temples around the server, usually in each new iteration of /world, and occasionally at bases and around spawn. It was also around this time in which ostrich1414 wrote the book "The Life of Wilbur" while high, a book which he has consistently regretted, but has since become a holy test for the clan. Nevertheless, the OOW's religious values were first and foremost for the cult, and while these were kept secret from the SimPvP public, ostrich1414, JavelinFury, and pippenger would occassionally leak information about it to draw curiosity from others. Unfortunately, by 2016, ostrich1414 had entered a long hiatus; this left the OOW largely inactive, with only JavelinFury involved with it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By 2017, ostrich1414 returned to the server in full force, eventually founding multiple bases and two new groups back-to-back: the [[United Alliance]] and [[The League]], both that same year. While the United Alliance and the League were separate individual clans with much larger, public presences on the server, they both accepted the Order of Wilbur as their primary religion of choice, and the cult secretly operated behind the scenes, establishing several temples--then known as "sanctuaries"--at both UA and League bases. The first major OOW "sanctuary" built in 2017 was at [[Quinsigamond]], followed shortly thereafter by [[Monarchia]], with both cities becoming major Wilburian strongholds. This would continue well into 2018, with the OOW functioning as a more public, yet still highly secretive and exclusive, religious cult.<br />
<br />
==Adapting to the Changes of 2019==<br />
<br />
In February of 2019, SimPvP entered an unprecedent player boom as hundreds of new players flocked to the server. By this point, the Order of Wilbur had been slowly growing in relevance and influence, and this new addition of players led the OOW to capitalize on their attention. By early 2019, [[Struthio]] was one of the defining cities of the time, and was also a major Wilburian powerhouse, with several temples scattered around the city. Later on, by May 2019, the city of [[Yittrium]] would be founded by both ostrich1414 and several of these new 2019 players, a few of whom were later accepted into the OOW as its newest generation of members. The largest Wilburian "sanctuary" yet would be established in Yittrium, and the city would quickly become the OOW's most powerful base yet, both in terms of influence and wealth. This also led the OOW to be catapulted into the server's spotlight as a major team. Despite this, the "secretive cult" aspect still largely remained, though it had begun to crumble as more publicity was brought to it.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioMay2019I.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Skyline WDL.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with this new player boom, and the OOW now becoming a major clan, some new religions would be founded in direct opposition to it. In early July 2019, the newly-established [[Church Of Fluz]] announced its public opposition to the Order of Wilbur and the prophet Wilbur himself. Originally created by [[TheOnlySlash]] and [[SirTashingdon]], the Church Of Fluz continued making blasphemous, defamatory remarks about the organization, thus forcing the Order of Wilbur to emerge from its secretive shadows and engage in a public rivalry with the Church (although the Church of Fluz would be a short-lived phenomenon, becoming inactive within a few months). The [[Church of Francis]] was another new religious organization formed in the summer of 2019 in August. Unlike the Church of Fluz, the Church of Francis established peaceful relations with the Order of Wilbur, and the two religions formed an alliance of mutual respect and worship. [[Lord1]], the church's founder, even went as far as to describe the two religions as "linked". Unfortunately, by October 2019, this good relationship would be fractured as war impended.<br />
<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]], which occurred between October 17th, 2019 - November 18th, 2019, was by far the most violent war in SimPvP history, with a series of bloody battles under its name. Ironically, it would be this war that would truly bring the Order of Wilbur into the limelight: prior to the war, the cult was rather secretive and isolationist, but this war catapulted the religion's interior organization and beliefs into the public eye.<br />
<br />
The war began on October 17th, 2019 when ostrich1414 declared war on the Church of Francis, seeing their growing size and influence as a threat to the Order of Wilbur as the server's dominant religion. Thus, a series of violent and destructive battles would occur throughout the duration of the war, with notable battles occurring in several cities like [[Castle Snowfrog]], [[Syracusai]], and [[Monarchia]]. While the Church of Francis would see a fair amount of victories in battle and acquired almost x2 more kills than the Wilburians, it was the Order of Wilbur that dominated the war, securing more victorious battles.<br />
<br />
[[File:WilburianAmryVictory.png|400px]] [[File:MonarchiaVictory1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur, due to its popularity, was able to secure and convert a much larger army of followers than the Church of Francis. The Wilburian army would be massive in size, with several battles dominating the Church of Francis in terms of player count. In fact, many soldiers who fought for the Order of Wilbur had previously been unaffiliated with the religion.<br />
<br />
On November 17th, 2019, on what is known as "V-Day", the Order of Wilbur emerged victorious after the Church of Francis surrendered following their most recent loss at the Battle of Syracusai. A massive peace conference and victory celebration was held at [[Virunum]], with ostrich1414 and Lord1, the Church of Francis General, signing a peace treaty together. This would be the most significant event in the history of the Order of Wilbur since the death of Wilbur, and their victory would prove their dominance over Francis and as the server's main religion. This would also plunge the Order of Wilbur into the public eye, making it less-secretive than it once had been.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 2.png|400px]] [[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Post-War Incidents of 2020==<br />
<br />
After the Order of Wilbur's victory during the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, a temporary period of peaceful reconstruction occurred between the two religions. Lord1 was invited to Yittrium in December 2019, which was a major Wilburian city, and both Lord1 and ostrich1414 had plans of making a joint Wilburian-Francillian temple there together. However, this period of peace between Wilburians and Francillians was cut short: between January 15th, and 17th, 2020, [[The Sigil Conflict]] occurred, which primarily resulted due to the resurgence of the rivalry. After the Church of Francis's [[Sigil]] temple was vandalized with pro-Wilburian propaganda, Lord1 initiated an assault on the city, annexing it for the Church of Francis and instigating a two-day religious conflict. This culminated in ostrich1414 arriving at the city, destroying the temple in the name of Wilbur, and fighting the Francillian occupants. While the Sigil Conflict would ultimately end in peace, this incident reignited the rivalry between the two factions.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]] [[File:Sigil Peace.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Another major incident occurred between April 15th and April 16th, this time in the Order of Wilbur's holy city, Stonetown. [[The Stonetown Incident]], once again between the Church of Francis and the Order of Wilbur, occurred when Lord1 attempted to fully annex the town for the Church of Francis, upon the gifting of the town's deed by [[Porkington]]. This was taken as an act of hostility by members of the Order of Wilbur, who reacted with anger and reclaimed Stonetown, threatening the Francillians. A back-and-forth of re-annexations occurred between the two religions, until the possibility of yet another war neared on the horizon. To prevent another war, Lord1 and ostrich1414 met at the neutral base [[Verillium]] to establish peace and identify Stonetown as a neutral base due to its sacred nature.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 4.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur==<br />
<br />
Between January 24th and May 6th, 2020, the Order of Wilbur saw the rise and progression of its first and largest city to date: the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], a.k.a. "Wilburia". The concept for a new Wilburian religious capital had been on ostrich1414's mind for years, but after the raid of Yittrium in January 5th, he was finally compelled to create Wilburia as a testament to his religious devotion. Ostrich1414 invited [[Zepheron]], [[cheesy_chips22]], and Porkington--three major devout Wilburians--to aid him in constructing the city.<br />
<br />
[[File:OG Wilburia Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Wilburia became known for the massive statue of Wilbur that served as the city's centerpiece, standing atop an ornate pedestal. Other major Wilburian landmarks included the religion's largest (and tallest) temple and a museum that house several significant items, ranging from Wilbur's original drops to Holy War artifacts. Wilburia was also an industrial powerhouse: it became one of the wealthiest, most powerful bases of its time, and propelled itself to the forefront of SimPvP politics. The Order of Wilbur's first major city was a success, and was growing rapidly.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia 3.png|400px]] [[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this success would be cut short when on May 6th, 2020, [[AntHand]] and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] discovered and annexed Wilburia. This angered its members severely, who protested the annexation and completely abandoned the city, moving on to new things. While the city luckily avoided griefing, it was largely looted for its remaining resources, and was considered fully abandoned and nonoperational, marking the end of the Order of Wilbur's powerhouse megacity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Destruction and Forgiveness==<br />
<br />
After the fall of Wilburia, the Order of Wilbur entered a small period of stagnation as many of its major members went on a hiatus or focused on other opportunities. By the summer of 2020, many Wilburians were involved in [[The Republic]], a newly-formed group dedicated solely to opposing Lord1 and even the Church of Francis itself. Since many Wilburians still harbored a hatred for the Church of Francis, they found the Republic to be a suitable home, including ostrich1414 and Zepheron themselves.<br />
<br />
Of course, this affiliation would have tragic results. After the Republic griefed [[Two Words]], the Church of Francis' main base at the time, Lord1 decided to retaliate by targeting Stonetown--the most sacred base in the Order of Wilbur, as well as one of the longest-lasting bases on SimPvP. After six years of remaining upkept, the Church of Francis had effectively destroyed Stonetown on June 23rd, 2020, reducing the holiest city in the religion to ashes. This action became immediately controversial, and left many Wilburians furious.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the Republic-Church of Francis beef would soon wane into obscurity, and by the fall of 2020, the Order of Wilbur was back to its period of stagnation. Meanwhile, the Church of Francis had been growing much larger, even establishing an empire. In the eyes of many Wilburians, this left them to view the Church of Francis as increasingly aggressive and imperialistic, only further straining their longtime rivalry. The last major incident between the two religions would occur on September 15th, 2020, when ElectricChugg was harassed and killed by several Francillians. Enraged by their actions and aggressions, ostrich1414 finally decided to retaliate and called for an organized battle to be held, the first armed conflict between Wilburians and Francillians since the Holy Wilbur-Francis War almost a year prior. Thus ensued the [[Battle of Swampland]], a major battle between Francillians Lord1, James8B, and xexc versus Wilburians ostrich1414, [[MoWobbler]], and ElectricChugg. Fought entirely in a swamp biome near spawn, the battle would rage on for nearly an hour. The only death would be ElectricChugg at the hands of Lord1, and eventually ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were forced to flee. This would result in a Church of Francis victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, as time went on, the two often-warring sides were beginning to open up to prospects of peace. On November 18th, 2020, the first major peace conference between the two would occur in the form of the one-year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War. Representatives of both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis both met in Verillium to celebrate both the end of the war and to admit to wrongdoings of the past. For the first time ever, both parties apologized for war crimes, griefs, and petty actions, with the first signs of peace beginning to blossom between the two.<br />
<br />
[[File:Holy War One Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:Holy War One Year 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==New Temples==<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the Order of Wilbur would begin to put more focus on individual structures in its catalogue. In August 2020, [[Zepheron]] founded what is known as "The Grand Sanctuary", a massive Wilburian temple located in the middle of a forest. Although largely unfinished, the current temple stands at an impressive size, with a design hearkening back to [[Strawman Temple]]. The temple consists of a columned Romanesque tomb-like building with pillars and Wilburian memoribilia everywhere. Originally, Zepheron anticipated the construction of a massive domed extension behind the current Grand Sanctuary, but it was unfortunately never completed.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Grand Sanctuary 1.png|400px]] [[File:The Grand Sanctuary 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After many months of no real progress, the Order of Wilbur finally bounced back when it decided to construct its first temple in the greater [[spawn]] region on December 3rd, 2020. Located in the middle of an ocean, ostrich1414, MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]] all worked to create a massive temple known as [[Suidae Temple]]. This structure would be unique for its composition of nine "tubes" all arranged in a 3x3 grid pattern, raising upwards with domes capping them off. The interior of the temple would contain systematic bridges sweeping through each leveled tube, as well as many religious memorabilia and monuments to Wilbur.<br />
<br />
[[File:Suidae Temple Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Suidae Temple Shader 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Both the Grand Sanctuary Suidae Temple would mark the Order of Wilbur's first foray into influencing spawn, something the Church of Francis had been steadily doing throughout the latter half of 2020, as well as the creation of brand new places of worship. These would also be the Order of Wilbur's first major construction projects since the City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur had fallen.<br />
<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur would officially participate in its second major war against the Church of Francis, more than a year after the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, upon the declaration of [[The Imperial War]]. Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur joined the People's Coalition as a founding member, a loose collective of various groups dedicated to waging war against the Francillians. Although the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had begun to see some signs of peace in late 2020, many players, including ostrich1414 himself, had become fed up with the Francillians' imperialistic virtues and their increasingly more erratic behavior. After [[Sellout9]] and SimCoin were killed in /world by the Francillians, however, ostrich1414 was urged to gather an army of like-minded SimPvP players and unite against the Church of Francis, as the People's Coalition declared war against them on December 10th.<br />
<br />
[[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Imperial War was much more chaotic, destructive, and hate-filled. Numerous griefs took place throughout the duration of the war: the People's Coalition griefed two Francillian outposts, Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle, on the day of the war declaration, with the Church of Francis responding by griefing [[New Oberstein]], and then [[Tol Honeth]], the next two days. The first half of the war was largely characterized by this strategy, with back-and-forth griefs between the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis--however, at first, many of the griefed bases were inactive or abandoned. Soon, Bitchport, New Brunoland, GS Base #1, RBC Spawn Base, McCapital, and [[Florestria]] would follow suit, all being griefed by both parties. Of course, many battles would take place as well, mostly located in /world or nearby spawn. Despite most of these battles being small skirmishes or ambushes, the largest battle would take place on December 17th in /world, in which a large number of troops from both sides would meet and fight--although there would be no clear victor.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war would become much more chaotic and personally devastating to those affected. This began when the Church of Francis targeted and raided [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first active city to be affected by the war. This left numerous members of the People's Coalition homeless and angry, with tensions and bitterness soaring. The People's Coalition would hit back by griefing [[Swaglabs]], with which the Church of Francis would respond by griefing Axetown. However, the breaking point would occur on January 11th, 2021, when the People's Coalition made a surprise ambush by raiding and annexing [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main city. The base was discovered by AntHand, using a then-secret wolf tracking exploit, rendering the otherwise secure base defenseless. This made Lord1 and the rest of the Church of Francis furious, with tensions now reaching a boiling point. Things only worsened when the People's Coalition raided [[Pepe's Holy Land]] seven days later, another secure Francillian base. Although the battles and skirmishes had completely halted by this point, tensions flared between both affected parties.<br />
<br />
[[File:Swaglabs Grief 2.png|400px]] [[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, on January 28th, 2021, peace would be made. After over a week of negotiations and peace talks between the two warring parties, agreements were finally reached. Both the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis were drained and disillusioned by the war: what had started as a seemingly tongue-in-cheek conflict had grown into a truly devastating crisis, leaving many homeless and angry. Now that the war was over, representatives from both parties met at Gibraltar Castle to finalize the peace agreements, thus ending the Imperial War for good. The Order of Wilbur promptly departed from the People's Coalition, with one of their agreements in the peace talks to never initiate war with the Church of Francis again.<br />
<br />
[[File:Imperial War Peace 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Reconstruction==<br />
<br />
After the Imperial War had finally ended, the Order of Wilbur entered a period of moderate reconstruction. Their long-time rivalry with the Church of Francis (now the Holy States of Francis) had culminated into two wars, a series of conflicts and battles, and all-around bitterness and toxicity between members. By this point, ostrich1414 had grown weary of the rivalry, and desired a true state of peace between the two entities.<br />
<br />
On February 15th, 2021, ostrich1414 founded [[Riverwood]], a small town with the goal of recruiting new players and helping to get them started on the server. Within the first week, Riverwood had successfully recruited over a dozen new players, all of whom assisted in expanding and growing the town significantly. Seeing this as an opportunity to finally promote peace and unity, the Order of Wilbur and the Holy States of Francis agreed to use Riverwood as a joint base for just that, with each constructing a temple within the town. For the first time ever, a Francillian and a Wilburian temple existed in harmony in the same location; Lord1 and ostrich1414 used this as a means to showcase the importance of unity and respect to their new recruits, many of whom quickly excelled on the server. Despite these initial gains, however, Riverwood would slowly fall into a period of inactivity by March--but its peace with the Francillians remained.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
For almost two years now, the Order of Wilbur had stayed from its initial purpose as a "secretive cult" and had become engrossed in the server's limelight through many major incidents with the Holy States of Francis. Ostrich1414 had a desire to bring the organization back to its roots, wanting to descend the Order of Wilbur back into the shadows as SimPvP's most exclusive religious group. As such, a few new members were initiated and plans were drafted for brand new community projects, akin to Suidae Temple. The first of these projects would be the refurbishment of a public spawn / end spawn portal used by many players; ostrich1414 and [[willowienal]] cleaned up the spawn side of it, making it look much nicer and adding new amenities. The group had also begun to make several changes to its internal infrastructure, putting an emphasis on community building projects over military prowess.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==São Porco==<br />
<br />
Ever since the fall of Wilburia in May 2020, the Order of Wilbur had lacked an official headquarters. This would change on April 19th, 2021, when cheesy_chips22 returned to the server after a long hiatus and reunited with ostrich1414, and the two founded the city of [[São Porco]]. Unlike Wilburia before it, São Porco would be a new Wilburian capital city with an immensely different theme and aesthetic: it is largely influenced by Brazilian architecture and inspired by coastal, tropical cities within the country, including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Settling on a jungle biome along the ocean, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 set to work, recruiting a number of Wilburian members and close allies to join as farms and builds immediately sprung up.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Gang 1.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Embracing the new Brazilian/South American theme, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 headed construction of Vila Porta, a rustic tropical village along the coast, centered around the city's portal hub. Underneath this village, MoWobbler would create a massive, sprawling sewer system composed of mazes, tunnels, traps, hidden rooms, and an underground city. [[Bruno_vera]] would assist with this project and establish a series of catacombs within the sewer system. Meanwhile, [[GentleGiant69]], [[ElectricChugg]], and willowienal would focus on broadening São Porco's collection of farms; some of these high-quality farms include a ghast tear farm, a wither skeleton farm, an iron farm, a mob farm, a totem farm, a bartering farm, and more, as well as SkullerG's five-level gold farm. Nearby Vila Porta, a dense district primarily composed of skyscrapers would develop, containing the city's main storage facility. However, most notably, cheesy_chips22 would work on São Porco's most anticipated project, its hillside favelas, sprawling randomly along the rugged man-made mountains along the coast. Unlike Wilburia's more calculated city aesthetic, São Porco would become a much more community-driven capital for the Order of Wilbur.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Alliance with Francis and the G.S.F.W.==<br />
<br />
Historically, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had been bitter rivals, having gone to war twice and participating in a number of griefs and battles against each other by mid-2021. However, in post-Imperial War SimPvP, the overall climate was changing as the two enemies slowly began to warm up to each other. This progression towards comradery was catapulted by their joint base Riverwood in February, as well as the COF's focus on the [[Confederacy-Francis War]] starting in May, giving them a new rival to engage with--the [[Confederacy of Man]]. Furthermore, both the OOW and COF's long-term goals were becoming more similar: to shy away from drama and focus more community-driven build projects. Of course, the thing that truly helped were the personal relationships shared between many members of both teams, as players were far more friendly with each other than bitter.<br />
<br />
On June 7th, 2021, a historic moment was made when, for the first time in over two years as warring enemies, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis became official allies. A peace conference was held at a site a few thousand blocks away from [[Quabbin]], to which several members from both groups arrived to accept the new era of peace they were entering into. At the conference, the two teams would apologize for past wrongdoings and propose ideas for future joint endeavors to strengthen their bond as allies, as well as establishing overall objectives for their new alliance. Ostrich1414 and Lord1, as heads of their respective teams, would proceed to sign a formal and official peace treaty, which was then distributed to all Wilburians and Francillians alike.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COF Summit 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Shortly after the alliance, both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis would engage in talks with [[GS Trading Co.]] (a team which both the OOW and COF were already closely allied with) to establish a potential super-alliance. This new coalition was eventually founded in late June, known by the simple title of "[[G.S.F.W.]]", referencing the names of each participating team. Although the three powers had grand plans to work on collaborative bases and projects together, these plans were quickly put to the side as a new threat suddenly loomed over the group: YMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]]. Although the Order of Wilbur and GS Trading Co. had been on good terms with YMP for a while, their sudden formal alliance with the COF (a team which YMP still hated) caused them to be roped into a sudden conflict. While the origins of this conflict are complicated, it largely began after the COF and GS griefed Cope Town on July 10th, a base founded by YMP members [[1590283112]] and [[DKC]]; however, even before this, YMP had griefed Riverwood on June 29th, which, although long since abandoned by then, was a shared base between the OOW and COF.<br />
<br />
By early August, it was apparent that another era of drama was coming, although unlike the Imperial War when the Order of Wilbur took an active approach in perpetuating it, they were this time largely uninterested in engaging with diplomatic crises. With both YMP and even the Confederacy of Man still engaging in conflict with the COF and GS, ostrich1414, on behalf of the Order of Wilbur, attempted to use his goodwill with COM leader [[Nikoxlas]] to stage peace talks between the two teams at Yittrium on August 7th. Unfortunately, this would go nowhere, and constant battles and ambushes in /world between YMP/COM and GS/COF/OOW would occur. On August 23rd, 2021, YMP would grief GS Trading Co.'s abandoned former capital, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]]--a base which had also housed Wilburians ostrich1414 and MoWobbler. This was met with a swift response by G.S.F.W., who retaliated by targeting an abandoned YMP base, Skyreach, that very same night.<br />
<br />

<br />
Shortly after these two back-to-back griefs, YMP would declare war on GS Trading Co., the Church of Francis, and the Order of Wilbur, respectively; however, none of these teams would recognize this war, and refused to respond with a counter-declaration. Nevertheless, this sudden conflict and ensuing drama worked to bring the members of G.S.F.W. closer together than ever, making it one of the most sturdy and powerful alliances in modern SimPvP history.<br />
<br />
==A Crippling Conflict==<br />
<br />
Despite the Order of Wilbur being adamant on staying out of the conflict with YMP, preferring to maintain diplomacy over war, it would constantly find itself dragged in, whether through its alliance in G.S.F.W. or through the aggression of YMP. Wilburians would often find /world to be too hostile to use, regularly getting ambushed and attacked by YMP members. However, their worst hit of the conflict would occur due to the serious security risks imposed at São Porco. Although bruno_vera had been both a member of São Porco and the Order of Wilbur for several months, he was also a member of YMP, and it was becoming clear that his priorities lay more with YMP than the Wilburians. This seriously worried the other members of the base, who felt that bruno_vera would become a liability and eventually leak the city--and this was not an unfound concern, as YMP had made several threats against São Porco throughout the conflict. This paranoia reached its boiling point when several key members of São Porco held serious reason to believe that bruno_vera had betrayed them and the city in favor of YMP; not wanting to risk the city falling into their hands, the members instead opted to loot the entire city, grief it, and abandon it. Thus, on August 28th, 2021, São Porco was severely griefed by a few of its members and promptly abandoned, while bruno_vera was officially kicked from the clan.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although the opportunity for YMP to grief São Porco had ended, the Order of Wilbur was nonetheless devastated by the loss of its capital city, being forced to relocate to a temporary location underground. They would eventually move to a new, more secure location much further out, establishing their newest capital city, [[New Yittrium]], on September 4th. All the while, the conflict between G.S.F.W. and YMP would continue, eventually culminating into the most severe casualty when, on September 21st, 2021, GS Trading Co.'s main base was raided and griefed by YMP, promptly ending GS's dominance on the server. This created a major rift within the G.S.F.W. as many GS members left the server, leaving it more COF and OOW dominated. Nevertheless, the conflict, which would ultimately go on to be known as [[The GS YMP Conflict of 2021]], would dissolve into an unofficial armistice as hostilities ended by October 2021.<br />
<br />
[[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Not wanting to be restricted by the conflict, the Order of Wilbur instead opted to be defiant of the toxicity and hostility, and founded its first major spawn base in months. On August 21st, 2021, ostrich1414 and [[AntiFreezeFluid]] would found the city of [[Gosnold]], located on an island roughly 7.6k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the Order of Wilbur were determined to make it both the largest and most luxurious city in the greater spawn region, modeling the city off of other iconic Wilburian megacities like Yittrium and Quabbin. Gosnold would consist primarily of tall concrete skyscrapers, many of which were built by both ostrich1414 and AntiFreezeFluid themselves. However, all Wilburians were invited to join the city, and eventually the city was opened up to all G.S.F.W. members. Outside of Wilburians, several Francillians would arrive at the city to build, and it became the second joint Wilburian-Francillian city in SimPvP history. The city's skyline was soon dotted by a plethora of unique skyscrapers, as well as temples for both the OOW and COF, a few basic farms, and its central city hall. Willowienal would even begin work on a massive stone statue of Jesus Christ nearby the city's shores.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold Chillin 1.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold Boolin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Gosnold's inevitable demise would come sooner rather than later, and the Order of Wilbur were unable to completely ignore the ongoing hostilities of the conflict. In what would largely become the last major event of the declining G.S.F.W. / YMP conflict, the Order of Wilbur received intel that YMP was actively searching for Gosnold, determined to destroy it. The city had been growing significantly throughout September 2021, but on October 1st, all that would change--and, ironically, not from YMP. [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]] were discovered severely griefing Gosnold, block-by-block, until each skyscraper was completely dismantled, as if nothing was there. The Operators were discovered in the midst of their grief by 1590283112, and a battle thus ensued, with vv101zeli and jake276493 soon arriving to assist 1590283112 against the Operators. Unfortunately, Gosnold would be severely and utterly griefed, although not in the traditional sense; roughly three-quarters of its cityscape was removed by the Operators, leaving behind a hollow shell of what was once spawn's most unique city.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
With the self-grief of São Porco, the dismantling of Gosnold, and the numerous ambushes and attacks at the hands of YMP, as well as the degredation of their allies, the Order of Wilbur had suffered significantly from a conflict in which they never wanted to participate in. Because of this, many Wilburians were left in a depressive state, discouraged by the conflict that had ravaged them.<br />
<br />
==The Wilburian Reformation==<br />
<br />
Between mid October 2021 and mid November 2021, the Order of Wilbur entered a temporary state of demoralization and inactivity due to the immense trauma from the conflict with YMP, and the overall toxic state of the server. Several Wilburians relocated from SimPvP to another semi-anarchy Minecraft server known as Uneasy Vanilla during this time, while the remainder kept quiet on SimPvP. Despite this brief break, the team would once again regroup in mid November following their return from Uneasy Vanilla, noticing that the server climate had slightly improved during their break.<br />
<br />
Thanks to a high-output obsidian farm at New Yittrium, GentleGiant69 and ostrich1414 devised a plan to put their surplus reserves of obsidian to good use, in the form of massive statues and structures around spawn. On November 23rd, the OOW constructed a large obsidian T-rex, their first major spawn project since Gosnold. The next day, however, they would begin construction on their magnum opus: the [[Snail]]. Consisting of over 177,000 blocks of obsidian, and completely solid, this massive obsidian snail statue would instantly becoming the largest obsidian structure at SimPvP spawn. The project itself became a serverwide sensation, drawing over twenty participants, all aiding in the construction of the statue and the placement of obsidian. Between November 24th and 26th, the Snail was miraculously completed, even despite facing the threat of several battles that occurred on site. Thanks to their success, both the T-rex and Snail statues would revitalize the OOW's motivation for SimPvP and help reform them into a group with new goals and aspirations.<br />
<br />
[[File:T-Rex Statue.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 1.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By this point, the Order of Wilbur was slowly growing into a more public and accepting clan, although it still kept a tight grip on its exclusivity. The emphasis on religion that had been there since 2014 had been slowly waning over time, and a new period of focus on base building and spawn projects was becoming more apparent. By December 9th, the OOW would officially release their member list to the public, a first for the clan in SimPvP history. This would come after the acceptance of a few new members, adding to the team's growth.<br />
<br />
On November 27th, the Order of Wilbur would once again fund another major base when ostrich1414 helped establish several players from Uneasy Vanilla, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Along with [[LidGuy]], these seven players moved much further out and eventually settled on a coastal area, founding a new city known as [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become an affiliated base of the OOW, and several other Wilburians would arrive to help build at the city, including MoWobbler, ElectricChugg, GentleGiant69, [[Laztec]], and willowienal. Thanks to their obsidian farm, the Wilburians helped fund Pangaea's three-layer gold farm, as well as several skyscrapers and other buildings and farms. Over the course of the next few months, Pangaea would flourish in activity and progress, becoming a much larger city complete with a diverse set of builds in different architectural styles. It would also house many other non-Wilburians who would help contribute to the city's growth.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pangaea Skyline January 29.png|400px]] [[File:Chilling in Villager Hall.png|400px]] [[File:Gonmoose at Pangaea 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the OOW's greatest achievement during this period of internal reformation would occur between early to mid December 2021, thanks to Laztec's introduction of the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign. This campaign was determined to repair spawn through a variety of different methods, from clearing lavacasts to fixing highways; however, the first step the MSGA campaign would take under both Laztec and ostrich1414's supervision was the "Water Removal" project, in which the OOW and their allies focused on removing spawn's excessive water flooding in an effort to reduce FPS lag. By December 15th, the MSGA had been successful, clearing a large portion of spawn's largest water pocket thanks to a combined effort of Laztec constructing water-eating machines and the manual use of sponges and other solid blocks.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to the success of these many OOW-led spawn projects, as well as a few other secret ones, the group felt that they were establishing a new purpose for themselves. Furthermore, the team was unanimously opposed to drama and conflict; the toxicity of 2021, especially the conflict with YMP, had soured their interest in server politics, and by 2022, they had all but embraced neutrality. Despite this, they were still official members of the G.S.F.W., a super-alliance that did not feel fully neutral and was once again being targeted by YMP. Wanting to fully express their neutrality and focus on themselves as a group, and their own personal goals and objectives away from SimPvP politics and drama, the OOW officially withdrew from the G.S.F.W on January 4th, 2022 thanks to a unanimous decision from its members, effectively ending the alliance.<br />
<br />
Once again free to keep to themselves, the OOW had many projects to focus on. Void City, New Yittrium, and Pangaea were prospering cities, growing in size and wealth, and the group's many other side projects were keeping them busy and motivated. TuataraBoots and ostrich1414 would take charge in the creation of a secure portal hub explicitly for use by Wilburians, using a series of one-ways to bring them to several bases. Other projects would be devised and planned, with Laztec even announcing the future continuation of the MSGA campaign. It was clear to many that the Order of Wilbur had emerged from the ashes of trauma and depression and had bloomed once again, experiencing a major reformation as a group and, arguably, entering a new renaissance period.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Memorial Hub.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Continued Prosperity==<br />
<br />
As the Wilburian Reformation period continued, with new members being added to the group and new projects being planned and constructed, the Order of Wilbur was immersed in its most prosperous period yet. Fortunately, the first few months of 2022 would prove to be the most peaceful era of SimPvP in years, and the OOW's new objectives of staying neutral and peaceful allowed them to flourish and focus on numerous projects, from more work at spawn to base building and recruitment.<br />
<br />
Laztec's trademark MSGA campaign would continue under the Order of Wilbur's supervision and funding, although a new multi-clan organization, known as [[The Federation]], would be founded by Laztec on February 20th to centralize these spawn efforts. The water removal campaign continued on throughout January and into February, with "Phase II" of the MSGA taking hold after a short hiatus. After the team managed to remove a large chunk of SimPvP spawn's water, Laztec focused his efforts on setting up TNT dupers to destroy spawn's many lavacasts (thanks to the recent re-addition of TNT duping at spawn). One major project for the MSGA involved the clearing of lavacasts covering the Snail, the OOW's other major project months prior. Once the casts were cleared, Laztec and ostrich1414 headed a massive community project that involved the water-cubing of the entire Snail; essentially, all of the Snail was now underwater, preventing it from being lavacasted effectively. Unfortunately, due to the opposition of some players like TheOnlySlash and bruno_vera, many of the lavacasts destroyed by the MSGA were quickly replaced.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Water Removal Squad.png|400px]] [[File:Laztec on a TNT Duper.png|400px]] [[File:Watercubed Snail.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects, many Wilburian bases entered a period of growth and prosperity. Although the city of Pangaea had become a major security risk (having been discovered by two different players twice) and was promptly abandoned, the core members of the city would move on to found a brand new city, even bigger, better, and more secure than Pangaea: [[Kinabalu]]. Primarily made up of OOW members and a few other outside allies from Pangaea, Kinabalu would become another massive modern city for the group, boasting several sleek skyscrapers, high-powered farms, and other beautiful builds. Cheesy_chips22's medieval neighborhood would become a defining feature of the city, as well as LidGuy's skyscraper district and Laztec's massive villager breeding complex, Breed Corp. Unlike Pangaea, which largely functioned as a recruit base and had no real city planning, Kinabalu blossomed as a well-planned, self-sufficient city, become one of the OOW's major components.<br />
<br />
[[File:Early Kinabalu.png|400px]] [[File:AntiFreezeFluid Kinabalu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, the OOW's capital city, New Yittrium, would be thriving as well during this period. Already having created many high-tech farms thanks to GentleGiant69 and ElectricChugg, the city finally began to focus more on aesthetic builds by late March 2022. In fact, New Yittrium would undergo a massive restructuring process by April, going so far as to reshape its entire identity and rename itself. New Yittrium would subsequently change its name to "Civitrium", with the name "New Yittrium" now belonging solely to MoWobbler's district--in fact, Civitrium was now made up of several sovereign city-states, with each city-state having its own name and aesthetic. Civitrium was now the name for the "continent" in which these city-states existed, or the base overall, and each city-state established borders amongst each other. Outside of these changes, the city continued to flourish, quickly becoming the OOW's wealthiest city to date.<br />
<br />
[[File:Civitrium Gang February.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The OOW's two other staple cities, [[Void City]] and [[Nova Aeterna]], also experienced growth. While Void City had been relatively stagnant for some time, it experienced another building boom by April, with Korijenkins, TheOnlySlash, and ostrich1414 contributing new builds. Meanwhile, DakkaDok would work diligently on growing and expanding Nova Aeterna, his latest endeavor in the "Nos Astra" series of bases. Void City and Civitrium would form a very close trade relationship during this time, with ostrich1414 and Korijenkins consistently trading between themselves to contribute to the growth of each base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void City April 9th.png|400px]] [[File:NovA 25 2 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects and bases, the OOW would grow closer as a community. One common activity that the group engaged in frequently together was basehunting, mostly around the greater spawn region. This was largely inspired by the growth of the OOW's private portal hub, known as the Stonetown Portal Hub, which housed access to numerous old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. In fact, the hub itself would become a long-term project for the team, with ostrich1414, TuataraBoots, cheesy_chips22, and LidGuy all investing in its construction and expansion, including new links, new rooms, and new sections. Thanks to all of the above, the OOW's internal community would become its strongest yet, and the constant upward trajectory of the group enabled it to grow closer than ever before. Of course, the OOW would still occasionally participate in other community events, from the COF's "3rd Annual International Lord1 Day" party in February to assisting the GS-sponsored reparation of end spawn throughout February to April.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Complacency==<br />
<br />
After many months of increased growth and prosperity thanks to the Wilburian Reformation, the Order of Wilbur would finally enter a slower period by the start of summer in 2022. Large spawn projects and community events hosted by the OOW would quietly diminish as the group began focusing on their own bases, with Civitrium and Kinabalu especially growing during this period of time. Although June would be a relatively quiet month for the team, July would become one of their most important. The month would begin with the founding of [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's newest community project. Founded on July 10th by ostrich1414 and Laztec, Shadow Grove was unique for taking advantage of a new feature brought to SimPvP thanks to the upgrade to 1.18: building under bedrock. Due to new changes in build depth and terrain generation, the group could now build in the void under bedrock. Thus, Shadow Grove was born: a small, rustic base located not far from spawn, floating within the void under bedrock. Although Shadow Grove would grow modestly, with a few Wilburians working on the base, it would become the site of the group's most important celebration yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Shadow Grove 1.png|400px]] [[File:Shadow Grove 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur would celebrate its eight year anniversary at two locations: first, at Stonetown alongside the Church of Francis, and second, at Shadow Grove, exclusive for Wilburians. This was an important moment for the OOW: not only was it celebrating eight years of existence (the longest of any clan on SimPvP), but it was the first time that the OOW was able to celebrate its anniversary in years, being unable to do so in 2021 due to the crisis with YMP. At Stonetown, the OOW would celebrate alongside their allies, the Church of Francis, exchanging gifts and partaking in other events. Then, shortly afterwards, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where every member was given an individualized, handwritten book from ostrich1414, among other gifts. The celebrations concluded with the OOW moving to the build server, helping Nebuelaz work on testing his then-in-progress event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]].<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW 8 Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The next few months would steadily slow down for the OOW as members lapsed into periods of inactivity, or focused on building their bases, but community events and projects would still occur. Laztec would lead the construction of two more massive obsidian structures in early August: Terabyte and Millennium Bridge. Although Terabyte was a bit smaller in scale, and primarily constructed by Wilburians, Millennium Bridge was a behemoth of a project that required the assistance of numerous helpers outside the OOW, easily becoming the largest obsidian structure in SimPvP history at nearly 1,200 blocks long and around 175,000 total obsidian. Unfortunately, Millennium Bridge would also become the target of terrorist attacks throughout the month, primarily at the hands of [[Goujon]] and [[f8tal]], both of whom lavacasted and withered it. Outside of these two projects, however, the OOW's involvement in large-scale community projects would decline.<br />
<br />
[[File:Terabyte 1.png|400px]] [[File:Terabyte 2.png|400px]] [[File:BridgeRender2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to its staunch emphasis on neutrality, the OOW would entirely avoid involvement in [[The Dominion-Francis Conflict]], which occurred throughout September to November 2022. Despite being closer allies with the Church of Francis, the OOW chose not to pick sides and largely remained uninvolved. Still, the group would continue to maintain friendly ties with the COF: ostrich1414 would attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration on September 3rd as a Wilburian diplomat, while Laztec would attend a summit between the COF and the Modern Communist Agency on October 19th. Another interesting occurrence was [[dacegod863]]'s decision to revitalize [[Fern Springs]], a forgotten and abandoned OOW spawn base that was originally founded by ostrich1414 and TuataraBoots in March 2022. Although the two had abandoned the base after one building, dacegod863 would start building there again in early December, breathing new life into the forgotten town and completely refreshing it, leading other Wilburians to return to the site and build. However, as a whole, the OOW had become much quieter by September, with most members focusing on their bases like Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City. After many exciting months of growth, progress, and projects, it began to appear as though the OOW was falling into a period of stagnation. This was proved further by ostrich1414's month-long hiatus in November, arguably the slowest month for the OOW of 2022. Although the year had been stellar for the group, the cracks were beginning to show.<br />

The Order of Wilbur is the oldest and longest-running clan still active today on SimPvP, having been founded shortly after the tragic death of [[Wilbur]] the Pig on July 29th, 2014, in [[Stonetown]]. Starting off as a very secretive and secluded cult dedicated to worshipping the life of their holy martyr Wilbur, the clan has since evolved and morphed over the years into a much larger and more public organization, shying away from its strictly-religious roots and branching off into the realms of base building and spawn projects. Unlike many other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur has always been very exclusive in its membership, and has maintained a tight-knit community with shared goals and values.<br />

For many years, the Order of Wilbur has kept its membership private and confidential from the public, maintaining a model of secrecy and exclusivity. However, as the clan has grown and evolved over the years, the ability to maintain this secrecy frequently came into question. As of December 9th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur began to publicly reveal its membership list, no longer keeping its members confidential from the rest of the server. However, unlike other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur does not have any ranks or hierarchies; everyone is equal.<br />

=Beliefs and Structure=<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has slowly begun to open itself up to the public over the years, the clan nevertheless keeps much of its inner workings secret, including its core beliefs and objectives. However, the Order of Wilbur has maintained two primary goals regarding the worship of its Divine Lord, [[Wilbur]]:<br />
<br />
*To honor, worship and promote the life and teachings of Wilbur the Pig, who was so quickly taken from us.<br />
*To connect with Wilbur's heavenly spirit through holy rituals and offerings.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur was originally founded as a religious cult, and still primarily operates as a religious cult, it has slowly shed this aspect of its identity over time and has embraced a more secular approach to its format. That being said, the clan still worships Wilbur as its one true god, and nearly every Wilburian operated or affiliated base has a temple or "sanctuary" built at it for worship. Wilburian temples typically follow a similar theme, embracing the colors of pink, red, yellow, and orange as its primary team colors--this often leads to temples harboring a "fiery" aesthetic, with heavy lava and nether brick usage. Wilbur is still regarded as the team's idol and mascot, and although members are not forced to engage in religious practices, the worship of Wilbur as an idol is encouraged. "The Life of Wilbur", a book written by [[ostrich1414]] in 2014 while stoned, is often regarded as the clan's holiest text.<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur believes heavily in equality and refuses to discriminate within its membership. There are currently no ranks and no hierarchy within the group. While ostrich1414, as the team's original founder and oldest active member, is often regarded as its de facto "leader", he is not officially the leader of the Order of Wilbur, and instead regards himself as an elder founder. Every member of the group is equal and decisions are often made democratically. Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur encourages individuality and self-expression among its members, never denying their freedom of speech and allowing all members to express themselves as Wilburians however they wish.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has historically been an isolated team and has engaged in several wars, it has since favored a more diplomatic and oftentimes pacifistic approach to its political outlook. The Order of Wilbur no longer wishes to engage in battles, griefs, or wars unless absolutely necessary, preferring to sit out of major political crises. The team's primary focus consists of base building and spawn projects, with many unique cities and structures under its belt over the years. In recent times, the team has dedicated itself to community efforts in and around the spawn region, as well as organizing both team events and large server events, as well as constructing breathtaking megacities and iconic spawn structures.<br />
<br />
In terms of membership, the Order of Wilbur is very exclusive, only inviting trusted and well-respected regular players into its inner circle. New players are not allowed to become Wilburians, and anyone interested in joining must first prove their worth through server activity, hard work, and respect. Furthermore, new recruits are often approached by Wilburians to join, rather than vice versa, and initiations into the clan typically occur at the their holiest city, [[Stonetown]], in the form of a minor ceremony. The Order of Wilbur prefers a "quality over quantity" approach with its membership, and has carefully crafted a catalogue of well-respected and influential members over the years. In fact, the Order of Wilbur has laid claim to more [[Admins]] than any other team on SimPvP: as of December 2021, the Order of Wilbur has had five admins within its membership, with four currently serving as members, and one being a former admin.<br />
<br />
=Registry of Holy Sites=<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur, as of September 2021, established its "Official Registry of Holy Sites"--bases, places, and locations on SimPvP that have inherent holy and historic value to the Order of Wilbur, its culture, and its beliefs. The only condition is that a Holy Site must no longer be active as a settlement. These locations are thus listed as "Holy Sites" and are recognized as important for preservation.<br />

[[File:Order of Wilbur Timeline.png|800px]]<br />
<br />
==July 29th, 2014==<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014 in the small community of [[Stonetown]], player [[ostrich1414]] was on a mission to receive every achievement that Minecraft offered. As the achievements began to get more difficult, one of them stood out from the rest: "When Pigs Fly". To get this achievement, a player must ride atop a pig using a saddle and fly him off of a cliff, potentially killing both entities in the process. Thus, ostrich1414 went to pursue this goal as he searched the town for a seemingly harmless, innocent pig to use for his own desires.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The pig that ostrich1414 eventually found was named [[Wilbur]]: a pig who would soon become iconic. After mounting Wilbur and climbing up to the top of Stonetown's infamous Tree Dome, ostrich1414 pushed Wilbur forward and the two plummeted to their deaths, both dying upon impact.<br />
<br />
This death sparked server-wide controversy as players condemned ostrich1414 and his brutal actions which had resulted in Wilbur's murder. Almost immediately after the atrocity occurred, a memorial for Wilbur was constructed in both /world and in his hometown, Stonetown. A national mourning for his death was ordered and the date has since become that of legend.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Birth of a Cult==<br />
<br />
Immediately after the death of Wilbur, ostrich1414, with some help from [[JavelinFury]], established the Order of Wilbur in his honor. The Order of Wilbur was originally meant to be a highly secretive cult dedicated to worshipping Wilbur as a holy martyr, unjustly killed. For the first two years of its lifespan, the OOW was relatively quiet; only a handful of selected players were allowed to join the cult, including ostrich1414 and JavelinFury, as well as [[pippenger]], [[unclechain]], and [[INDIGO011]]. While membership was strict and exclusive, public knowledge of the cult was even more so: very few on the server were made aware of the OOW, and its rituals and values were kept secret. As Stonetown's activity soon waned and was eventually abandoned by late 2014, ostrich1414 still utilized the base as the OOW's headquarters, with it becoming the cult's unofficial capital city and holy ground.<br />
<br />
Between 2014 and 2015, the Order of Wilbur mostly constructed small temples around the server, usually in each new iteration of /world, and occasionally at bases and around spawn. It was also around this time in which ostrich1414 wrote the book "The Life of Wilbur" while high, a book which he has consistently regretted, but has since become a holy test for the clan. Nevertheless, the OOW's religious values were first and foremost for the cult, and while these were kept secret from the SimPvP public, ostrich1414, JavelinFury, and pippenger would occassionally leak information about it to draw curiosity from others. Unfortunately, by 2016, ostrich1414 had entered a long hiatus; this left the OOW largely inactive, with only JavelinFury involved with it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By 2017, ostrich1414 returned to the server in full force, eventually founding multiple bases and two new groups back-to-back: the [[United Alliance]] and [[The League]], both that same year. While the United Alliance and the League were separate individual clans with much larger, public presences on the server, they both accepted the Order of Wilbur as their primary religion of choice, and the cult secretly operated behind the scenes, establishing several temples--then known as "sanctuaries"--at both UA and League bases. The first major OOW "sanctuary" built in 2017 was at [[Quinsigamond]], followed shortly thereafter by [[Monarchia]], with both cities becoming major Wilburian strongholds. This would continue well into 2018, with the OOW functioning as a more public, yet still highly secretive and exclusive, religious cult.<br />
<br />
==Adapting to the Changes of 2019==<br />
<br />
In February of 2019, SimPvP entered an unprecedent player boom as hundreds of new players flocked to the server. By this point, the Order of Wilbur had been slowly growing in relevance and influence, and this new addition of players led the OOW to capitalize on their attention. By early 2019, [[Struthio]] was one of the defining cities of the time, and was also a major Wilburian powerhouse, with several temples scattered around the city. Later on, by May 2019, the city of [[Yittrium]] would be founded by both ostrich1414 and several of these new 2019 players, a few of whom were later accepted into the OOW as its newest generation of members. The largest Wilburian "sanctuary" yet would be established in Yittrium, and the city would quickly become the OOW's most powerful base yet, both in terms of influence and wealth. This also led the OOW to be catapulted into the server's spotlight as a major team. Despite this, the "secretive cult" aspect still largely remained, though it had begun to crumble as more publicity was brought to it.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioMay2019I.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Skyline WDL.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with this new player boom, and the OOW now becoming a major clan, some new religions would be founded in direct opposition to it. In early July 2019, the newly-established [[Church Of Fluz]] announced its public opposition to the Order of Wilbur and the prophet Wilbur himself. Originally created by [[TheOnlySlash]] and [[SirTashingdon]], the Church Of Fluz continued making blasphemous, defamatory remarks about the organization, thus forcing the Order of Wilbur to emerge from its secretive shadows and engage in a public rivalry with the Church (although the Church of Fluz would be a short-lived phenomenon, becoming inactive within a few months). The [[Church of Francis]] was another new religious organization formed in the summer of 2019 in August. Unlike the Church of Fluz, the Church of Francis established peaceful relations with the Order of Wilbur, and the two religions formed an alliance of mutual respect and worship. [[Lord1]], the church's founder, even went as far as to describe the two religions as "linked". Unfortunately, by October 2019, this good relationship would be fractured as war impended.<br />
<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]], which occurred between October 17th, 2019 - November 18th, 2019, was by far the most violent war in SimPvP history, with a series of bloody battles under its name. Ironically, it would be this war that would truly bring the Order of Wilbur into the limelight: prior to the war, the cult was rather secretive and isolationist, but this war catapulted the religion's interior organization and beliefs into the public eye.<br />
<br />
The war began on October 17th, 2019 when ostrich1414 declared war on the Church of Francis, seeing their growing size and influence as a threat to the Order of Wilbur as the server's dominant religion. Thus, a series of violent and destructive battles would occur throughout the duration of the war, with notable battles occurring in several cities like [[Castle Snowfrog]], [[Syracusai]], and [[Monarchia]]. While the Church of Francis would see a fair amount of victories in battle and acquired almost x2 more kills than the Wilburians, it was the Order of Wilbur that dominated the war, securing more victorious battles.<br />
<br />
[[File:WilburianAmryVictory.png|400px]] [[File:MonarchiaVictory1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur, due to its popularity, was able to secure and convert a much larger army of followers than the Church of Francis. The Wilburian army would be massive in size, with several battles dominating the Church of Francis in terms of player count. In fact, many soldiers who fought for the Order of Wilbur had previously been unaffiliated with the religion.<br />
<br />
On November 17th, 2019, on what is known as "V-Day", the Order of Wilbur emerged victorious after the Church of Francis surrendered following their most recent loss at the Battle of Syracusai. A massive peace conference and victory celebration was held at [[Virunum]], with ostrich1414 and Lord1, the Church of Francis General, signing a peace treaty together. This would be the most significant event in the history of the Order of Wilbur since the death of Wilbur, and their victory would prove their dominance over Francis and as the server's main religion. This would also plunge the Order of Wilbur into the public eye, making it less-secretive than it once had been.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 2.png|400px]] [[File:The Order of Wilbur Victory 4.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Post-War Incidents of 2020==<br />
<br />
After the Order of Wilbur's victory during the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, a temporary period of peaceful reconstruction occurred between the two religions. Lord1 was invited to Yittrium in December 2019, which was a major Wilburian city, and both Lord1 and ostrich1414 had plans of making a joint Wilburian-Francillian temple there together. However, this period of peace between Wilburians and Francillians was cut short: between January 15th, and 17th, 2020, [[The Sigil Conflict]] occurred, which primarily resulted due to the resurgence of the rivalry. After the Church of Francis's [[Sigil]] temple was vandalized with pro-Wilburian propaganda, Lord1 initiated an assault on the city, annexing it for the Church of Francis and instigating a two-day religious conflict. This culminated in ostrich1414 arriving at the city, destroying the temple in the name of Wilbur, and fighting the Francillian occupants. While the Sigil Conflict would ultimately end in peace, this incident reignited the rivalry between the two factions.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]] [[File:Sigil Peace.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Another major incident occurred between April 15th and April 16th, this time in the Order of Wilbur's holy city, Stonetown. [[The Stonetown Incident]], once again between the Church of Francis and the Order of Wilbur, occurred when Lord1 attempted to fully annex the town for the Church of Francis, upon the gifting of the town's deed by [[Porkington]]. This was taken as an act of hostility by members of the Order of Wilbur, who reacted with anger and reclaimed Stonetown, threatening the Francillians. A back-and-forth of re-annexations occurred between the two religions, until the possibility of yet another war neared on the horizon. To prevent another war, Lord1 and ostrich1414 met at the neutral base [[Verillium]] to establish peace and identify Stonetown as a neutral base due to its sacred nature.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 4.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur==<br />
<br />
Between January 24th and May 6th, 2020, the Order of Wilbur saw the rise and progression of its first and largest city to date: the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], a.k.a. "Wilburia". The concept for a new Wilburian religious capital had been on ostrich1414's mind for years, but after the raid of Yittrium in January 5th, he was finally compelled to create Wilburia as a testament to his religious devotion. Ostrich1414 invited [[Zepheron]], [[cheesy_chips22]], and Porkington--three major devout Wilburians--to aid him in constructing the city.<br />
<br />
[[File:OG Wilburia Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Wilburia became known for the massive statue of Wilbur that served as the city's centerpiece, standing atop an ornate pedestal. Other major Wilburian landmarks included the religion's largest (and tallest) temple and a museum that house several significant items, ranging from Wilbur's original drops to Holy War artifacts. Wilburia was also an industrial powerhouse: it became one of the wealthiest, most powerful bases of its time, and propelled itself to the forefront of SimPvP politics. The Order of Wilbur's first major city was a success, and was growing rapidly.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia 3.png|400px]] [[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this success would be cut short when on May 6th, 2020, [[AntHand]] and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] discovered and annexed Wilburia. This angered its members severely, who protested the annexation and completely abandoned the city, moving on to new things. While the city luckily avoided griefing, it was largely looted for its remaining resources, and was considered fully abandoned and nonoperational, marking the end of the Order of Wilbur's powerhouse megacity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Destruction and Forgiveness==<br />
<br />
After the fall of Wilburia, the Order of Wilbur entered a small period of stagnation as many of its major members went on a hiatus or focused on other opportunities. By the summer of 2020, many Wilburians were involved in [[The Republic]], a newly-formed group dedicated solely to opposing Lord1 and even the Church of Francis itself. Since many Wilburians still harbored a hatred for the Church of Francis, they found the Republic to be a suitable home, including ostrich1414 and Zepheron themselves.<br />
<br />
Of course, this affiliation would have tragic results. After the Republic griefed [[Two Words]], the Church of Francis' main base at the time, Lord1 decided to retaliate by targeting Stonetown--the most sacred base in the Order of Wilbur, as well as one of the longest-lasting bases on SimPvP. After six years of remaining upkept, the Church of Francis had effectively destroyed Stonetown on June 23rd, 2020, reducing the holiest city in the religion to ashes. This action became immediately controversial, and left many Wilburians furious.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the Republic-Church of Francis beef would soon wane into obscurity, and by the fall of 2020, the Order of Wilbur was back to its period of stagnation. Meanwhile, the Church of Francis had been growing much larger, even establishing an empire. In the eyes of many Wilburians, this left them to view the Church of Francis as increasingly aggressive and imperialistic, only further straining their longtime rivalry. The last major incident between the two religions would occur on September 15th, 2020, when ElectricChugg was harassed and killed by several Francillians. Enraged by their actions and aggressions, ostrich1414 finally decided to retaliate and called for an organized battle to be held, the first armed conflict between Wilburians and Francillians since the Holy Wilbur-Francis War almost a year prior. Thus ensued the [[Battle of Swampland]], a major battle between Francillians Lord1, James8B, and xexc versus Wilburians ostrich1414, [[MoWobbler]], and ElectricChugg. Fought entirely in a swamp biome near spawn, the battle would rage on for nearly an hour. The only death would be ElectricChugg at the hands of Lord1, and eventually ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were forced to flee. This would result in a Church of Francis victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, as time went on, the two often-warring sides were beginning to open up to prospects of peace. On November 18th, 2020, the first major peace conference between the two would occur in the form of the one-year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War. Representatives of both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis both met in Verillium to celebrate both the end of the war and to admit to wrongdoings of the past. For the first time ever, both parties apologized for war crimes, griefs, and petty actions, with the first signs of peace beginning to blossom between the two.<br />
<br />
[[File:Holy War One Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:Holy War One Year 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==New Temples==<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the Order of Wilbur would begin to put more focus on individual structures in its catalogue. In August 2020, [[Zepheron]] founded what is known as "The Grand Sanctuary", a massive Wilburian temple located in the middle of a forest. Although largely unfinished, the current temple stands at an impressive size, with a design hearkening back to [[Strawman Temple]]. The temple consists of a columned Romanesque tomb-like building with pillars and Wilburian memoribilia everywhere. Originally, Zepheron anticipated the construction of a massive domed extension behind the current Grand Sanctuary, but it was unfortunately never completed.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Grand Sanctuary 1.png|400px]] [[File:The Grand Sanctuary 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After many months of no real progress, the Order of Wilbur finally bounced back when it decided to construct its first temple in the greater [[spawn]] region on December 3rd, 2020. Located in the middle of an ocean, ostrich1414, MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]] all worked to create a massive temple known as [[Suidae Temple]]. This structure would be unique for its composition of nine "tubes" all arranged in a 3x3 grid pattern, raising upwards with domes capping them off. The interior of the temple would contain systematic bridges sweeping through each leveled tube, as well as many religious memorabilia and monuments to Wilbur.<br />
<br />
[[File:Suidae Temple Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Suidae Temple Shader 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Both the Grand Sanctuary Suidae Temple would mark the Order of Wilbur's first foray into influencing spawn, something the Church of Francis had been steadily doing throughout the latter half of 2020, as well as the creation of brand new places of worship. These would also be the Order of Wilbur's first major construction projects since the City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur had fallen.<br />
<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur would officially participate in its second major war against the Church of Francis, more than a year after the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, upon the declaration of [[The Imperial War]]. Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur joined the People's Coalition as a founding member, a loose collective of various groups dedicated to waging war against the Francillians. Although the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had begun to see some signs of peace in late 2020, many players, including ostrich1414 himself, had become fed up with the Francillians' imperialistic virtues and their increasingly more erratic behavior. After [[Sellout9]] and SimCoin were killed in /world by the Francillians, however, ostrich1414 was urged to gather an army of like-minded SimPvP players and unite against the Church of Francis, as the People's Coalition declared war against them on December 10th.<br />
<br />
[[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Imperial War was much more chaotic, destructive, and hate-filled. Numerous griefs took place throughout the duration of the war: the People's Coalition griefed two Francillian outposts, Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle, on the day of the war declaration, with the Church of Francis responding by griefing [[New Oberstein]], and then [[Tol Honeth]], the next two days. The first half of the war was largely characterized by this strategy, with back-and-forth griefs between the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis--however, at first, many of the griefed bases were inactive or abandoned. Soon, Bitchport, New Brunoland, GS Base #1, RBC Spawn Base, McCapital, and [[Florestria]] would follow suit, all being griefed by both parties. Of course, many battles would take place as well, mostly located in /world or nearby spawn. Despite most of these battles being small skirmishes or ambushes, the largest battle would take place on December 17th in /world, in which a large number of troops from both sides would meet and fight--although there would be no clear victor.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war would become much more chaotic and personally devastating to those affected. This began when the Church of Francis targeted and raided [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first active city to be affected by the war. This left numerous members of the People's Coalition homeless and angry, with tensions and bitterness soaring. The People's Coalition would hit back by griefing [[Swaglabs]], with which the Church of Francis would respond by griefing Axetown. However, the breaking point would occur on January 11th, 2021, when the People's Coalition made a surprise ambush by raiding and annexing [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main city. The base was discovered by AntHand, using a then-secret wolf tracking exploit, rendering the otherwise secure base defenseless. This made Lord1 and the rest of the Church of Francis furious, with tensions now reaching a boiling point. Things only worsened when the People's Coalition raided [[Pepe's Holy Land]] seven days later, another secure Francillian base. Although the battles and skirmishes had completely halted by this point, tensions flared between both affected parties.<br />
<br />
[[File:Swaglabs Grief 2.png|400px]] [[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, on January 28th, 2021, peace would be made. After over a week of negotiations and peace talks between the two warring parties, agreements were finally reached. Both the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis were drained and disillusioned by the war: what had started as a seemingly tongue-in-cheek conflict had grown into a truly devastating crisis, leaving many homeless and angry. Now that the war was over, representatives from both parties met at Gibraltar Castle to finalize the peace agreements, thus ending the Imperial War for good. The Order of Wilbur promptly departed from the People's Coalition, with one of their agreements in the peace talks to never initiate war with the Church of Francis again.<br />
<br />
[[File:Imperial War Peace 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Reconstruction==<br />
<br />
After the Imperial War had finally ended, the Order of Wilbur entered a period of moderate reconstruction. Their long-time rivalry with the Church of Francis (now the Holy States of Francis) had culminated into two wars, a series of conflicts and battles, and all-around bitterness and toxicity between members. By this point, ostrich1414 had grown weary of the rivalry, and desired a true state of peace between the two entities.<br />
<br />
On February 15th, 2021, ostrich1414 founded [[Riverwood]], a small town with the goal of recruiting new players and helping to get them started on the server. Within the first week, Riverwood had successfully recruited over a dozen new players, all of whom assisted in expanding and growing the town significantly. Seeing this as an opportunity to finally promote peace and unity, the Order of Wilbur and the Holy States of Francis agreed to use Riverwood as a joint base for just that, with each constructing a temple within the town. For the first time ever, a Francillian and a Wilburian temple existed in harmony in the same location; Lord1 and ostrich1414 used this as a means to showcase the importance of unity and respect to their new recruits, many of whom quickly excelled on the server. Despite these initial gains, however, Riverwood would slowly fall into a period of inactivity by March--but its peace with the Francillians remained.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
For almost two years now, the Order of Wilbur had stayed from its initial purpose as a "secretive cult" and had become engrossed in the server's limelight through many major incidents with the Holy States of Francis. Ostrich1414 had a desire to bring the organization back to its roots, wanting to descend the Order of Wilbur back into the shadows as SimPvP's most exclusive religious group. As such, a few new members were initiated and plans were drafted for brand new community projects, akin to Suidae Temple. The first of these projects would be the refurbishment of a public spawn / end spawn portal used by many players; ostrich1414 and [[willowienal]] cleaned up the spawn side of it, making it look much nicer and adding new amenities. The group had also begun to make several changes to its internal infrastructure, putting an emphasis on community building projects over military prowess.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==São Porco==<br />
<br />
Ever since the fall of Wilburia in May 2020, the Order of Wilbur had lacked an official headquarters. This would change on April 19th, 2021, when cheesy_chips22 returned to the server after a long hiatus and reunited with ostrich1414, and the two founded the city of [[São Porco]]. Unlike Wilburia before it, São Porco would be a new Wilburian capital city with an immensely different theme and aesthetic: it is largely influenced by Brazilian architecture and inspired by coastal, tropical cities within the country, including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Settling on a jungle biome along the ocean, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 set to work, recruiting a number of Wilburian members and close allies to join as farms and builds immediately sprung up.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Gang 1.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Embracing the new Brazilian/South American theme, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 headed construction of Vila Porta, a rustic tropical village along the coast, centered around the city's portal hub. Underneath this village, MoWobbler would create a massive, sprawling sewer system composed of mazes, tunnels, traps, hidden rooms, and an underground city. [[Bruno_vera]] would assist with this project and establish a series of catacombs within the sewer system. Meanwhile, [[GentleGiant69]], [[ElectricChugg]], and willowienal would focus on broadening São Porco's collection of farms; some of these high-quality farms include a ghast tear farm, a wither skeleton farm, an iron farm, a mob farm, a totem farm, a bartering farm, and more, as well as SkullerG's five-level gold farm. Nearby Vila Porta, a dense district primarily composed of skyscrapers would develop, containing the city's main storage facility. However, most notably, cheesy_chips22 would work on São Porco's most anticipated project, its hillside favelas, sprawling randomly along the rugged man-made mountains along the coast. Unlike Wilburia's more calculated city aesthetic, São Porco would become a much more community-driven capital for the Order of Wilbur.<br />

==Alliance with Francis and the G.S.F.W.==<br />
<br />
Historically, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had been bitter rivals, having gone to war twice and participating in a number of griefs and battles against each other by mid-2021. However, in post-Imperial War SimPvP, the overall climate was changing as the two enemies slowly began to warm up to each other. This progression towards comradery was catapulted by their joint base Riverwood in February, as well as the COF's focus on the [[Confederacy-Francis War]] starting in May, giving them a new rival to engage with--the [[Confederacy of Man]]. Furthermore, both the OOW and COF's long-term goals were becoming more similar: to shy away from drama and focus more community-driven build projects. Of course, the thing that truly helped were the personal relationships shared between many members of both teams, as players were far more friendly with each other than bitter.<br />
<br />
On June 7th, 2021, a historic moment was made when, for the first time in over two years as warring enemies, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis became official allies. A peace conference was held at a site a few thousand blocks away from [[Quabbin]], to which several members from both groups arrived to accept the new era of peace they were entering into. At the conference, the two teams would apologize for past wrongdoings and propose ideas for future joint endeavors to strengthen their bond as allies, as well as establishing overall objectives for their new alliance. Ostrich1414 and Lord1, as heads of their respective teams, would proceed to sign a formal and official peace treaty, which was then distributed to all Wilburians and Francillians alike.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COF Summit 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Shortly after the alliance, both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis would engage in talks with [[GS Trading Co.]] (a team which both the OOW and COF were already closely allied with) to establish a potential super-alliance. This new coalition was eventually founded in late June, known by the simple title of "[[G.S.F.W.]]", referencing the names of each participating team. Although the three powers had grand plans to work on collaborative bases and projects together, these plans were quickly put to the side as a new threat suddenly loomed over the group: YMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]]. Although the Order of Wilbur and GS Trading Co. had been on good terms with YMP for a while, their sudden formal alliance with the COF (a team which YMP still hated) caused them to be roped into a sudden conflict. While the origins of this conflict are complicated, it largely began after the COF and GS griefed Cope Town on July 10th, a base founded by YMP members [[1590283112]] and [[DKC]]; however, even before this, YMP had griefed Riverwood on June 29th, which, although long since abandoned by then, was a shared base between the OOW and COF.<br />
<br />
By early August, it was apparent that another era of drama was coming, although unlike the Imperial War when the Order of Wilbur took an active approach in perpetuating it, they were this time largely uninterested in engaging with diplomatic crises. With both YMP and even the Confederacy of Man still engaging in conflict with the COF and GS, ostrich1414, on behalf of the Order of Wilbur, attempted to use his goodwill with COM leader [[Nikoxlas]] to stage peace talks between the two teams at Yittrium on August 7th. Unfortunately, this would go nowhere, and constant battles and ambushes in /world between YMP/COM and GS/COF/OOW would occur. On August 23rd, 2021, YMP would grief GS Trading Co.'s abandoned former capital, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]]--a base which had also housed Wilburians ostrich1414 and MoWobbler. This was met with a swift response by G.S.F.W., who retaliated by targeting an abandoned YMP base, Skyreach, that very same night.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COM Conference.png|400px]] [[File:Skyreach Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Shortly after these two back-to-back griefs, YMP would declare war on GS Trading Co., the Church of Francis, and the Order of Wilbur, respectively; however, none of these teams would recognize this war, and refused to respond with a counter-declaration. Nevertheless, this sudden conflict and ensuing drama worked to bring the members of G.S.F.W. closer together than ever, making it one of the most sturdy and powerful alliances in modern SimPvP history.<br />
<br />
==A Crippling Conflict==<br />
<br />
Despite the Order of Wilbur being adamant on staying out of the conflict with YMP, preferring to maintain diplomacy over war, it would constantly find itself dragged in, whether through its alliance in G.S.F.W. or through the aggression of YMP. Wilburians would often find /world to be too hostile to use, regularly getting ambushed and attacked by YMP members. However, their worst hit of the conflict would occur due to the serious security risks imposed at São Porco. Although bruno_vera had been both a member of São Porco and the Order of Wilbur for several months, he was also a member of YMP, and it was becoming clear that his priorities lay more with YMP than the Wilburians. This seriously worried the other members of the base, who felt that bruno_vera would become a liability and eventually leak the city--and this was not an unfound concern, as YMP had made several threats against São Porco throughout the conflict. This paranoia reached its boiling point when several key members of São Porco held serious reason to believe that bruno_vera had betrayed them and the city in favor of YMP; not wanting to risk the city falling into their hands, the members instead opted to loot the entire city, grief it, and abandon it. Thus, on August 28th, 2021, São Porco was severely griefed by a few of its members and promptly abandoned, while bruno_vera was officially kicked from the clan.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although the opportunity for YMP to grief São Porco had ended, the Order of Wilbur was nonetheless devastated by the loss of its capital city, being forced to relocate to a temporary location underground. They would eventually move to a new, more secure location much further out, establishing their newest capital city, [[New Yittrium]], on September 4th. All the while, the conflict between G.S.F.W. and YMP would continue, eventually culminating into the most severe casualty when, on September 21st, 2021, GS Trading Co.'s main base was raided and griefed by YMP, promptly ending GS's dominance on the server. This created a major rift within the G.S.F.W. as many GS members left the server, leaving it more COF and OOW dominated. Nevertheless, the conflict, which would ultimately go on to be known as [[The GS YMP Conflict of 2021]], would dissolve into an unofficial armistice as hostilities ended by October 2021.<br />
<br />
[[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Not wanting to be restricted by the conflict, the Order of Wilbur instead opted to be defiant of the toxicity and hostility, and founded its first major spawn base in months. On August 21st, 2021, ostrich1414 and [[AntiFreezeFluid]] would found the city of [[Gosnold]], located on an island roughly 7.6k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the Order of Wilbur were determined to make it both the largest and most luxurious city in the greater spawn region, modeling the city off of other iconic Wilburian megacities like Yittrium and Quabbin. Gosnold would consist primarily of tall concrete skyscrapers, many of which were built by both ostrich1414 and AntiFreezeFluid themselves. However, all Wilburians were invited to join the city, and eventually the city was opened up to all G.S.F.W. members. Outside of Wilburians, several Francillians would arrive at the city to build, and it became the second joint Wilburian-Francillian city in SimPvP history. The city's skyline was soon dotted by a plethora of unique skyscrapers, as well as temples for both the OOW and COF, a few basic farms, and its central city hall. Willowienal would even begin work on a massive stone statue of Jesus Christ nearby the city's shores.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold Chillin 1.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold Boolin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Gosnold's inevitable demise would come sooner rather than later, and the Order of Wilbur were unable to completely ignore the ongoing hostilities of the conflict. In what would largely become the last major event of the declining G.S.F.W. / YMP conflict, the Order of Wilbur received intel that YMP was actively searching for Gosnold, determined to destroy it. The city had been growing significantly throughout September 2021, but on October 1st, all that would change--and, ironically, not from YMP. [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]] were discovered severely griefing Gosnold, block-by-block, until each skyscraper was completely dismantled, as if nothing was there. The Operators were discovered in the midst of their grief by 1590283112, and a battle thus ensued, with vv101zeli and jake276493 soon arriving to assist 1590283112 against the Operators. Unfortunately, Gosnold would be severely and utterly griefed, although not in the traditional sense; roughly three-quarters of its cityscape was removed by the Operators, leaving behind a hollow shell of what was once spawn's most unique city.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
With the self-grief of São Porco, the dismantling of Gosnold, and the numerous ambushes and attacks at the hands of YMP, as well as the degredation of their allies, the Order of Wilbur had suffered significantly from a conflict in which they never wanted to participate in. Because of this, many Wilburians were left in a depressive state, discouraged by the conflict that had ravaged them.<br />
<br />
==The Wilburian Reformation==<br />
<br />
Between mid October 2021 and mid November 2021, the Order of Wilbur entered a temporary state of demoralization and inactivity due to the immense trauma from the conflict with YMP, and the overall toxic state of the server. Several Wilburians relocated from SimPvP to another semi-anarchy Minecraft server known as Uneasy Vanilla during this time, while the remainder kept quiet on SimPvP. Despite this brief break, the team would once again regroup in mid November following their return from Uneasy Vanilla, noticing that the server climate had slightly improved during their break.<br />
<br />
Thanks to a high-output obsidian farm at New Yittrium, GentleGiant69 and ostrich1414 devised a plan to put their surplus reserves of obsidian to good use, in the form of massive statues and structures around spawn. On November 23rd, the OOW constructed a large obsidian T-rex, their first major spawn project since Gosnold. The next day, however, they would begin construction on their magnum opus: the [[Snail]]. Consisting of over 177,000 blocks of obsidian, and completely solid, this massive obsidian snail statue would instantly becoming the largest obsidian structure at SimPvP spawn. The project itself became a serverwide sensation, drawing over twenty participants, all aiding in the construction of the statue and the placement of obsidian. Between November 24th and 26th, the Snail was miraculously completed, even despite facing the threat of several battles that occurred on site. Thanks to their success, both the T-rex and Snail statues would revitalize the OOW's motivation for SimPvP and help reform them into a group with new goals and aspirations.<br />
<br />
[[File:T-Rex Statue.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 1.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By this point, the Order of Wilbur was slowly growing into a more public and accepting clan, although it still kept a tight grip on its exclusivity. The emphasis on religion that had been there since 2014 had been slowly waning over time, and a new period of focus on base building and spawn projects was becoming more apparent. By December 9th, the OOW would officially release their member list to the public, a first for the clan in SimPvP history. This would come after the acceptance of a few new members, adding to the team's growth.<br />
<br />
On November 27th, the Order of Wilbur would once again fund another major base when ostrich1414 helped establish several players from Uneasy Vanilla, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Along with [[LidGuy]], these seven players moved much further out and eventually settled on a coastal area, founding a new city known as [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become an affiliated base of the OOW, and several other Wilburians would arrive to help build at the city, including MoWobbler, ElectricChugg, GentleGiant69, [[Laztec]], and willowienal. Thanks to their obsidian farm, the Wilburians helped fund Pangaea's three-layer gold farm, as well as several skyscrapers and other buildings and farms. Over the course of the next few months, Pangaea would flourish in activity and progress, becoming a much larger city complete with a diverse set of builds in different architectural styles. It would also house many other non-Wilburians who would help contribute to the city's growth.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pangaea Skyline January 29.png|400px]] [[File:Chilling in Villager Hall.png|400px]] [[File:Gonmoose at Pangaea 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the OOW's greatest achievement during this period of internal reformation would occur between early to mid December 2021, thanks to Laztec's introduction of the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign. This campaign was determined to repair spawn through a variety of different methods, from clearing lavacasts to fixing highways; however, the first step the MSGA campaign would take under both Laztec and ostrich1414's supervision was the "Water Removal" project, in which the OOW and their allies focused on removing spawn's excessive water flooding in an effort to reduce FPS lag. By December 15th, the MSGA had been successful, clearing a large portion of spawn's largest water pocket thanks to a combined effort of Laztec constructing water-eating machines and the manual use of sponges and other solid blocks.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to the success of these many OOW-led spawn projects, as well as a few other secret ones, the group felt that they were establishing a new purpose for themselves. Furthermore, the team was unanimously opposed to drama and conflict; the toxicity of 2021, especially the conflict with YMP, had soured their interest in server politics, and by 2022, they had all but embraced neutrality. Despite this, they were still official members of the G.S.F.W., a super-alliance that did not feel fully neutral and was once again being targeted by YMP. Wanting to fully express their neutrality and focus on themselves as a group, and their own personal goals and objectives away from SimPvP politics and drama, the OOW officially withdrew from the G.S.F.W on January 4th, 2022 thanks to a unanimous decision from its members, effectively ending the alliance.<br />
<br />
Once again free to keep to themselves, the OOW had many projects to focus on. Void City, New Yittrium, and Pangaea were prospering cities, growing in size and wealth, and the group's many other side projects were keeping them busy and motivated. TuataraBoots and ostrich1414 would take charge in the creation of a secure portal hub explicitly for use by Wilburians, using a series of one-ways to bring them to several bases. Other projects would be devised and planned, with Laztec even announcing the future continuation of the MSGA campaign. It was clear to many that the Order of Wilbur had emerged from the ashes of trauma and depression and had bloomed once again, experiencing a major reformation as a group and, arguably, entering a new renaissance period.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Memorial Hub.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Continued Prosperity==<br />
<br />
As the Wilburian Reformation period continued, with new members being added to the group and new projects being planned and constructed, the Order of Wilbur was immersed in its most prosperous period yet. Fortunately, the first few months of 2022 would prove to be the most peaceful era of SimPvP in years, and the OOW's new objectives of staying neutral and peaceful allowed them to flourish and focus on numerous projects, from more work at spawn to base building and recruitment.<br />
<br />
Laztec's trademark MSGA campaign would continue under the Order of Wilbur's supervision and funding, although a new multi-clan organization, known as [[The Federation]], would be founded by Laztec on February 20th to centralize these spawn efforts. The water removal campaign continued on throughout January and into February, with "Phase II" of the MSGA taking hold after a short hiatus. After the team managed to remove a large chunk of SimPvP spawn's water, Laztec focused his efforts on setting up TNT dupers to destroy spawn's many lavacasts (thanks to the recent re-addition of TNT duping at spawn). One major project for the MSGA involved the clearing of lavacasts covering the Snail, the OOW's other major project months prior. Once the casts were cleared, Laztec and ostrich1414 headed a massive community project that involved the water-cubing of the entire Snail; essentially, all of the Snail was now underwater, preventing it from being lavacasted effectively. Unfortunately, due to the opposition of some players like TheOnlySlash and bruno_vera, many of the lavacasts destroyed by the MSGA were quickly replaced.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Water Removal Squad.png|400px]] [[File:Laztec on a TNT Duper.png|400px]] [[File:Watercubed Snail.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects, many Wilburian bases entered a period of growth and prosperity. Although the city of Pangaea had become a major security risk (having been discovered by two different players twice) and was promptly abandoned, the core members of the city would move on to found a brand new city, even bigger, better, and more secure than Pangaea: [[Kinabalu]]. Primarily made up of OOW members and a few other outside allies from Pangaea, Kinabalu would become another massive modern city for the group, boasting several sleek skyscrapers, high-powered farms, and other beautiful builds. Cheesy_chips22's medieval neighborhood would become a defining feature of the city, as well as LidGuy's skyscraper district and Laztec's massive villager breeding complex, Breed Corp. Unlike Pangaea, which largely functioned as a recruit base and had no real city planning, Kinabalu blossomed as a well-planned, self-sufficient city, become one of the OOW's major components.<br />
<br />
[[File:Early Kinabalu.png|400px]] [[File:AntiFreezeFluid Kinabalu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, the OOW's capital city, New Yittrium, would be thriving as well during this period. Already having created many high-tech farms thanks to GentleGiant69 and ElectricChugg, the city finally began to focus more on aesthetic builds by late March 2022. In fact, New Yittrium would undergo a massive restructuring process by April, going so far as to reshape its entire identity and rename itself. New Yittrium would subsequently change its name to "Civitrium", with the name "New Yittrium" now belonging solely to MoWobbler's district--in fact, Civitrium was now made up of several sovereign city-states, with each city-state having its own name and aesthetic. Civitrium was now the name for the "continent" in which these city-states existed, or the base overall, and each city-state established borders amongst each other. Outside of these changes, the city continued to flourish, quickly becoming the OOW's wealthiest city to date.<br />
<br />
[[File:Civitrium Gang February.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The OOW's two other staple cities, [[Void City]] and [[Nova Aeterna]], also experienced growth. While Void City had been relatively stagnant for some time, it experienced another building boom by April, with Korijenkins, TheOnlySlash, and ostrich1414 contributing new builds. Meanwhile, DakkaDok would work diligently on growing and expanding Nova Aeterna, his latest endeavor in the "Nos Astra" series of bases. Void City and Civitrium would form a very close trade relationship during this time, with ostrich1414 and Korijenkins consistently trading between themselves to contribute to the growth of each base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void City April 9th.png|400px]] [[File:NovA 25 2 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects and bases, the OOW would grow closer as a community. One common activity that the group engaged in frequently together was basehunting, mostly around the greater spawn region. This was largely inspired by the growth of the OOW's private portal hub, known as the Stonetown Portal Hub, which housed access to numerous old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. In fact, the hub itself would become a long-term project for the team, with ostrich1414, TuataraBoots, cheesy_chips22, and LidGuy all investing in its construction and expansion, including new links, new rooms, and new sections. Thanks to all of the above, the OOW's internal community would become its strongest yet, and the constant upward trajectory of the group enabled it to grow closer than ever before. Of course, the OOW would still occasionally participate in other community events, from the COF's "3rd Annual International Lord1 Day" party in February to assisting the GS-sponsored reparation of end spawn throughout February to April.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Basehunting 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW Basehunting 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW Stonetown Lava.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Complacency==<br />
<br />
After many months of increased growth and prosperity thanks to the Wilburian Reformation, the Order of Wilbur would finally enter a slower period by the start of summer in 2022. Large spawn projects and community events hosted by the OOW would quietly diminish as the group began focusing on their own bases, with Civitrium and Kinabalu especially growing during this period of time. Although June would be a relatively quiet month for the team, July would become one of their most important. The month would begin with the founding of [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's newest community project. Founded on July 10th by ostrich1414 and Laztec, Shadow Grove was unique for taking advantage of a new feature brought to SimPvP thanks to the upgrade to 1.18: building under bedrock. Due to new changes in build depth and terrain generation, the group could now build in the void under bedrock. Thus, Shadow Grove was born: a small, rustic base located not far from spawn, floating within the void under bedrock. Although Shadow Grove would grow modestly, with a few Wilburians working on the base, it would become the site of the group's most important celebration yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Shadow Grove 1.png|400px]] [[File:Shadow Grove 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur would celebrate its eight year anniversary at two locations: first, at Stonetown alongside the Church of Francis, and second, at Shadow Grove, exclusive for Wilburians. This was an important moment for the OOW: not only was it celebrating eight years of existence (the longest of any clan on SimPvP), but it was the first time that the OOW was able to celebrate its anniversary in years, being unable to do so in 2021 due to the crisis with YMP. At Stonetown, the OOW would celebrate alongside their allies, the Church of Francis, exchanging gifts and partaking in other events. Then, shortly afterwards, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where every member was given an individualized, handwritten book from ostrich1414, among other gifts. The celebrations concluded with the OOW moving to the build server, helping Nebuelaz work on testing his then-in-progress event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]].<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW 8 Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The next few months would steadily slow down for the OOW as members lapsed into periods of inactivity, or focused on building their bases, but community events and projects would still occur. Laztec would lead the construction of two more massive obsidian structures in early August: Terabyte and Millennium Bridge. Although Terabyte was a bit smaller in scale, and primarily constructed by Wilburians, Millennium Bridge was a behemoth of a project that required the assistance of numerous helpers outside the OOW, easily becoming the largest obsidian structure in SimPvP history at nearly 1,200 blocks long and around 175,000 total obsidian. Unfortunately, Millennium Bridge would also become the target of terrorist attacks throughout the month, primarily at the hands of [[Goujon]] and [[f8tal]], both of whom lavacasted and withered it. Outside of these two projects, however, the OOW's involvement in large-scale community projects would decline.<br />
<br />
[[File:Terabyte 1.png|400px]] [[File:Terabyte 2.png|400px]] [[File:BridgeRender2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to its staunch emphasis on neutrality, the OOW would entirely avoid involvement in [[The Dominion-Francis Conflict]], which occurred throughout September to November 2022. Despite being closer allies with the Church of Francis, the OOW chose not to pick sides and largely remained uninvolved. Still, the group would continue to maintain friendly ties with the COF: ostrich1414 would attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration on September 3rd as a Wilburian diplomat, while Laztec would attend a summit between the COF and the Modern Communist Agency on October 19th. Another interesting occurrence was [[dacegod863]]'s decision to revitalize [[Fern Springs]], a forgotten and abandoned OOW spawn base that was originally founded by ostrich1414 and TuataraBoots in March 2022. Although the two had abandoned the base after one building, dacegod863 would start building there again in early December, breathing new life into the forgotten town and completely refreshing it, leading other Wilburians to return to the site and build. However, as a whole, the OOW had become much quieter by September, with most members focusing on their bases like Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City. After many exciting months of growth, progress, and projects, it began to appear as though the OOW was falling into a period of stagnation. This was proved further by ostrich1414's month-long hiatus in November, arguably the slowest month for the OOW of 2022. Although the year had been stellar for the group, the cracks were beginning to show.<br />

The Order of Wilbur is the oldest and longest-running clan still active today on SimPvP, having been founded shortly after the tragic death of [[Wilbur]] the Pig on July 29th, 2014, in [[Stonetown]]. Starting off as a very secretive and secluded cult dedicated to worshipping the life of their holy martyr Wilbur, the clan has since evolved and morphed over the years into a much larger and more public organization, shying away from its strictly-religious roots and branching off into the realms of base building and spawn projects. Unlike many other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur has always been very exclusive in its membership, and has maintained a tight-knit community with shared goals and values.<br />

=Membership=<br />
<br />
For many years, the Order of Wilbur has kept its membership private and confidential from the public, maintaining a model of secrecy and exclusivity. However, as the clan has grown and evolved over the years, the ability to maintain this secrecy frequently came into question. As of December 9th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur began to publicly reveal its membership list, no longer keeping its members confidential from the rest of the server. However, unlike other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur does not have any ranks or hierarchies; everyone is equal.<br />

=Beliefs and Structure=<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has slowly begun to open itself up to the public over the years, the clan nevertheless keeps much of its inner workings secret, including its core beliefs and objectives. However, the Order of Wilbur has maintained two primary goals regarding the worship of its Divine Lord, [[Wilbur]]:<br />
<br />
*To honor, worship and promote the life and teachings of Wilbur the Pig, who was so quickly taken from us.<br />
*To connect with Wilbur's heavenly spirit through holy rituals and offerings.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur was originally founded as a religious cult, and still primarily operates as a religious cult, it has slowly shed this aspect of its identity over time and has embraced a more secular approach to its format. That being said, the clan still worships Wilbur as its one true god, and nearly every Wilburian operated or affiliated base has a temple or "sanctuary" built at it for worship. Wilburian temples typically follow a similar theme, embracing the colors of pink, red, yellow, and orange as its primary team colors--this often leads to temples harboring a "fiery" aesthetic, with heavy lava and nether brick usage. Wilbur is still regarded as the team's idol and mascot, and although members are not forced to engage in religious practices, the worship of Wilbur as an idol is encouraged. "The Life of Wilbur", a book written by [[ostrich1414]] in 2014 while stoned, is often regarded as the clan's holiest text.<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur believes heavily in equality and refuses to discriminate within its membership. There are currently no ranks and no hierarchy within the group. While ostrich1414, as the team's original founder and oldest active member, is often regarded as its de facto "leader", he is not officially the leader of the Order of Wilbur, and instead regards himself as an elder founder. Every member of the group is equal and decisions are often made democratically. Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur encourages individuality and self-expression among its members, never denying their freedom of speech and allowing all members to express themselves as Wilburians however they wish.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has historically been an isolated team and has engaged in several wars, it has since favored a more diplomatic and oftentimes pacifistic approach to its political outlook. The Order of Wilbur no longer wishes to engage in battles, griefs, or wars unless absolutely necessary, preferring to sit out of major political crises. The team's primary focus consists of base building and spawn projects, with many unique cities and structures under its belt over the years. In recent times, the team has dedicated itself to community efforts in and around the spawn region, as well as organizing both team events and large server events, as well as constructing breathtaking megacities and iconic spawn structures.<br />
<br />
In terms of membership, the Order of Wilbur is very exclusive, only inviting trusted and well-respected regular players into its inner circle. New players are not allowed to become Wilburians, and anyone interested in joining must first prove their worth through server activity, hard work, and respect. Furthermore, new recruits are often approached by Wilburians to join, rather than vice versa, and initiations into the clan typically occur at the their holiest city, [[Stonetown]], in the form of a minor ceremony. The Order of Wilbur prefers a "quality over quantity" approach with its membership, and has carefully crafted a catalogue of well-respected and influential members over the years. In fact, the Order of Wilbur has laid claim to more [[Admins]] than any other team on SimPvP: as of December 2021, the Order of Wilbur has had five admins within its membership, with four currently serving as members, and one being a former admin.<br />
<br />
=Registry of Holy Sites=<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur, as of September 2021, established its "Official Registry of Holy Sites"--bases, places, and locations on SimPvP that have inherent holy and historic value to the Order of Wilbur, its culture, and its beliefs. The only condition is that a Holy Site must no longer be active as a settlement. These locations are thus listed as "Holy Sites" and are recognized as important for preservation.<br />

<br />
[[File:Order of Wilbur Timeline.png|800px]]<br />
<br />
==July 29th, 2014==<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014 in the small community of [[Stonetown]], player [[ostrich1414]] was on a mission to receive every achievement that Minecraft offered. As the achievements began to get more difficult, one of them stood out from the rest: "When Pigs Fly". To get this achievement, a player must ride atop a pig using a saddle and fly him off of a cliff, potentially killing both entities in the process. Thus, ostrich1414 went to pursue this goal as he searched the town for a seemingly harmless, innocent pig to use for his own desires.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The pig that ostrich1414 eventually found was named [[Wilbur]]: a pig who would soon become iconic. After mounting Wilbur and climbing up to the top of Stonetown's infamous Tree Dome, ostrich1414 pushed Wilbur forward and the two plummeted to their deaths, both dying upon impact.<br />
<br />
This death sparked server-wide controversy as players condemned ostrich1414 and his brutal actions which had resulted in Wilbur's murder. Almost immediately after the atrocity occurred, a memorial for Wilbur was constructed in both /world and in his hometown, Stonetown. A national mourning for his death was ordered and the date has since become that of legend.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Birth of a Cult==<br />
<br />
Immediately after the death of Wilbur, ostrich1414, with some help from [[JavelinFury]], established the Order of Wilbur in his honor. The Order of Wilbur was originally meant to be a highly secretive cult dedicated to worshipping Wilbur as a holy martyr, unjustly killed. For the first two years of its lifespan, the OOW was relatively quiet; only a handful of selected players were allowed to join the cult, including ostrich1414 and JavelinFury, as well as [[pippenger]], [[unclechain]], and [[INDIGO011]]. While membership was strict and exclusive, public knowledge of the cult was even more so: very few on the server were made aware of the OOW, and its rituals and values were kept secret. As Stonetown's activity soon waned and was eventually abandoned by late 2014, ostrich1414 still utilized the base as the OOW's headquarters, with it becoming the cult's unofficial capital city and holy ground.<br />
<br />
Between 2014 and 2015, the Order of Wilbur mostly constructed small temples around the server, usually in each new iteration of /world, and occasionally at bases and around spawn. It was also around this time in which ostrich1414 wrote the book "The Life of Wilbur" while high, a book which he has consistently regretted, but has since become a holy test for the clan. Nevertheless, the OOW's religious values were first and foremost for the cult, and while these were kept secret from the SimPvP public, ostrich1414, JavelinFury, and pippenger would occassionally leak information about it to draw curiosity from others. Unfortunately, by 2016, ostrich1414 had entered a long hiatus; this left the OOW largely inactive, with only JavelinFury involved with it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By 2017, ostrich1414 returned to the server in full force, eventually founding multiple bases and two new groups back-to-back: the [[United Alliance]] and [[The League]], both that same year. While the United Alliance and the League were separate individual clans with much larger, public presences on the server, they both accepted the Order of Wilbur as their primary religion of choice, and the cult secretly operated behind the scenes, establishing several temples--then known as "sanctuaries"--at both UA and League bases. The first major OOW "sanctuary" built in 2017 was at [[Quinsigamond]], followed shortly thereafter by [[Monarchia]], with both cities becoming major Wilburian strongholds. This would continue well into 2018, with the OOW functioning as a more public, yet still highly secretive and exclusive, religious cult.<br />
<br />
==Adapting to the Changes of 2019==<br />
<br />
In February of 2019, SimPvP entered an unprecedent player boom as hundreds of new players flocked to the server. By this point, the Order of Wilbur had been slowly growing in relevance and influence, and this new addition of players led the OOW to capitalize on their attention. By early 2019, [[Struthio]] was one of the defining cities of the time, and was also a major Wilburian powerhouse, with several temples scattered around the city. Later on, by May 2019, the city of [[Yittrium]] would be founded by both ostrich1414 and several of these new 2019 players, a few of whom were later accepted into the OOW as its newest generation of members. The largest Wilburian "sanctuary" yet would be established in Yittrium, and the city would quickly become the OOW's most powerful base yet, both in terms of influence and wealth. This also led the OOW to be catapulted into the server's spotlight as a major team. Despite this, the "secretive cult" aspect still largely remained, though it had begun to crumble as more publicity was brought to it.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioMay2019I.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Skyline WDL.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with this new player boom, and the OOW now becoming a major clan, some new religions would be founded in direct opposition to it. In early July 2019, the newly-established [[Church Of Fluz]] announced its public opposition to the Order of Wilbur and the prophet Wilbur himself. Originally created by [[TheOnlySlash]] and [[SirTashingdon]], the Church Of Fluz continued making blasphemous, defamatory remarks about the organization, thus forcing the Order of Wilbur to emerge from its secretive shadows and engage in a public rivalry with the Church (although the Church of Fluz would be a short-lived phenomenon, becoming inactive within a few months). The [[Church of Francis]] was another new religious organization formed in the summer of 2019 in August. Unlike the Church of Fluz, the Church of Francis established peaceful relations with the Order of Wilbur, and the two religions formed an alliance of mutual respect and worship. [[Lord1]], the church's founder, even went as far as to describe the two religions as "linked". Unfortunately, by October 2019, this good relationship would be fractured as war impended.<br />
<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]], which occurred between October 17th, 2019 - November 18th, 2019, was by far the most violent war in SimPvP history, with a series of bloody battles under its name. Ironically, it would be this war that would truly bring the Order of Wilbur into the limelight: prior to the war, the cult was rather secretive and isolationist, but this war catapulted the religion's interior organization and beliefs into the public eye.<br />
<br />
The war began on October 17th, 2019 when ostrich1414 declared war on the Church of Francis, seeing their growing size and influence as a threat to the Order of Wilbur as the server's dominant religion. Thus, a series of violent and destructive battles would occur throughout the duration of the war, with notable battles occurring in several cities like [[Castle Snowfrog]], [[Syracusai]], and [[Monarchia]]. While the Church of Francis would see a fair amount of victories in battle and acquired almost x2 more kills than the Wilburians, it was the Order of Wilbur that dominated the war, securing more victorious battles.<br />
<br />
[[File:WilburianAmryVictory.png|400px]] [[File:MonarchiaVictory1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur, due to its popularity, was able to secure and convert a much larger army of followers than the Church of Francis. The Wilburian army would be massive in size, with several battles dominating the Church of Francis in terms of player count. In fact, many soldiers who fought for the Order of Wilbur had previously been unaffiliated with the religion.<br />
<br />
On November 17th, 2019, on what is known as "V-Day", the Order of Wilbur emerged victorious after the Church of Francis surrendered following their most recent loss at the Battle of Syracusai. A massive peace conference and victory celebration was held at [[Virunum]], with ostrich1414 and Lord1, the Church of Francis General, signing a peace treaty together. This would be the most significant event in the history of the Order of Wilbur since the death of Wilbur, and their victory would prove their dominance over Francis and as the server's main religion. This would also plunge the Order of Wilbur into the public eye, making it less-secretive than it once had been.<br />

<br />
==Post-War Incidents of 2020==<br />
<br />
After the Order of Wilbur's victory during the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, a temporary period of peaceful reconstruction occurred between the two religions. Lord1 was invited to Yittrium in December 2019, which was a major Wilburian city, and both Lord1 and ostrich1414 had plans of making a joint Wilburian-Francillian temple there together. However, this period of peace between Wilburians and Francillians was cut short: between January 15th, and 17th, 2020, [[The Sigil Conflict]] occurred, which primarily resulted due to the resurgence of the rivalry. After the Church of Francis's [[Sigil]] temple was vandalized with pro-Wilburian propaganda, Lord1 initiated an assault on the city, annexing it for the Church of Francis and instigating a two-day religious conflict. This culminated in ostrich1414 arriving at the city, destroying the temple in the name of Wilbur, and fighting the Francillian occupants. While the Sigil Conflict would ultimately end in peace, this incident reignited the rivalry between the two factions.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]] [[File:Sigil Peace.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Another major incident occurred between April 15th and April 16th, this time in the Order of Wilbur's holy city, Stonetown. [[The Stonetown Incident]], once again between the Church of Francis and the Order of Wilbur, occurred when Lord1 attempted to fully annex the town for the Church of Francis, upon the gifting of the town's deed by [[Porkington]]. This was taken as an act of hostility by members of the Order of Wilbur, who reacted with anger and reclaimed Stonetown, threatening the Francillians. A back-and-forth of re-annexations occurred between the two religions, until the possibility of yet another war neared on the horizon. To prevent another war, Lord1 and ostrich1414 met at the neutral base [[Verillium]] to establish peace and identify Stonetown as a neutral base due to its sacred nature.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 4.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur==<br />
<br />
Between January 24th and May 6th, 2020, the Order of Wilbur saw the rise and progression of its first and largest city to date: the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], a.k.a. "Wilburia". The concept for a new Wilburian religious capital had been on ostrich1414's mind for years, but after the raid of Yittrium in January 5th, he was finally compelled to create Wilburia as a testament to his religious devotion. Ostrich1414 invited [[Zepheron]], [[cheesy_chips22]], and Porkington--three major devout Wilburians--to aid him in constructing the city.<br />
<br />
[[File:OG Wilburia Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Wilburia became known for the massive statue of Wilbur that served as the city's centerpiece, standing atop an ornate pedestal. Other major Wilburian landmarks included the religion's largest (and tallest) temple and a museum that house several significant items, ranging from Wilbur's original drops to Holy War artifacts. Wilburia was also an industrial powerhouse: it became one of the wealthiest, most powerful bases of its time, and propelled itself to the forefront of SimPvP politics. The Order of Wilbur's first major city was a success, and was growing rapidly.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia 3.png|400px]] [[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this success would be cut short when on May 6th, 2020, [[AntHand]] and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] discovered and annexed Wilburia. This angered its members severely, who protested the annexation and completely abandoned the city, moving on to new things. While the city luckily avoided griefing, it was largely looted for its remaining resources, and was considered fully abandoned and nonoperational, marking the end of the Order of Wilbur's powerhouse megacity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Destruction and Forgiveness==<br />
<br />
After the fall of Wilburia, the Order of Wilbur entered a small period of stagnation as many of its major members went on a hiatus or focused on other opportunities. By the summer of 2020, many Wilburians were involved in [[The Republic]], a newly-formed group dedicated solely to opposing Lord1 and even the Church of Francis itself. Since many Wilburians still harbored a hatred for the Church of Francis, they found the Republic to be a suitable home, including ostrich1414 and Zepheron themselves.<br />
<br />
Of course, this affiliation would have tragic results. After the Republic griefed [[Two Words]], the Church of Francis' main base at the time, Lord1 decided to retaliate by targeting Stonetown--the most sacred base in the Order of Wilbur, as well as one of the longest-lasting bases on SimPvP. After six years of remaining upkept, the Church of Francis had effectively destroyed Stonetown on June 23rd, 2020, reducing the holiest city in the religion to ashes. This action became immediately controversial, and left many Wilburians furious.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the Republic-Church of Francis beef would soon wane into obscurity, and by the fall of 2020, the Order of Wilbur was back to its period of stagnation. Meanwhile, the Church of Francis had been growing much larger, even establishing an empire. In the eyes of many Wilburians, this left them to view the Church of Francis as increasingly aggressive and imperialistic, only further straining their longtime rivalry. The last major incident between the two religions would occur on September 15th, 2020, when ElectricChugg was harassed and killed by several Francillians. Enraged by their actions and aggressions, ostrich1414 finally decided to retaliate and called for an organized battle to be held, the first armed conflict between Wilburians and Francillians since the Holy Wilbur-Francis War almost a year prior. Thus ensued the [[Battle of Swampland]], a major battle between Francillians Lord1, James8B, and xexc versus Wilburians ostrich1414, [[MoWobbler]], and ElectricChugg. Fought entirely in a swamp biome near spawn, the battle would rage on for nearly an hour. The only death would be ElectricChugg at the hands of Lord1, and eventually ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were forced to flee. This would result in a Church of Francis victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, as time went on, the two often-warring sides were beginning to open up to prospects of peace. On November 18th, 2020, the first major peace conference between the two would occur in the form of the one-year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War. Representatives of both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis both met in Verillium to celebrate both the end of the war and to admit to wrongdoings of the past. For the first time ever, both parties apologized for war crimes, griefs, and petty actions, with the first signs of peace beginning to blossom between the two.<br />
<br />
[[File:Holy War One Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:Holy War One Year 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==New Temples==<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the Order of Wilbur would begin to put more focus on individual structures in its catalogue. In August 2020, [[Zepheron]] founded what is known as "The Grand Sanctuary", a massive Wilburian temple located in the middle of a forest. Although largely unfinished, the current temple stands at an impressive size, with a design hearkening back to [[Strawman Temple]]. The temple consists of a columned Romanesque tomb-like building with pillars and Wilburian memoribilia everywhere. Originally, Zepheron anticipated the construction of a massive domed extension behind the current Grand Sanctuary, but it was unfortunately never completed.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Grand Sanctuary 1.png|400px]] [[File:The Grand Sanctuary 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After many months of no real progress, the Order of Wilbur finally bounced back when it decided to construct its first temple in the greater [[spawn]] region on December 3rd, 2020. Located in the middle of an ocean, ostrich1414, MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]] all worked to create a massive temple known as [[Suidae Temple]]. This structure would be unique for its composition of nine "tubes" all arranged in a 3x3 grid pattern, raising upwards with domes capping them off. The interior of the temple would contain systematic bridges sweeping through each leveled tube, as well as many religious memorabilia and monuments to Wilbur.<br />
<br />
[[File:Suidae Temple Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Suidae Temple Shader 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Both the Grand Sanctuary Suidae Temple would mark the Order of Wilbur's first foray into influencing spawn, something the Church of Francis had been steadily doing throughout the latter half of 2020, as well as the creation of brand new places of worship. These would also be the Order of Wilbur's first major construction projects since the City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur had fallen.<br />
<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur would officially participate in its second major war against the Church of Francis, more than a year after the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, upon the declaration of [[The Imperial War]]. Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur joined the People's Coalition as a founding member, a loose collective of various groups dedicated to waging war against the Francillians. Although the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had begun to see some signs of peace in late 2020, many players, including ostrich1414 himself, had become fed up with the Francillians' imperialistic virtues and their increasingly more erratic behavior. After [[Sellout9]] and SimCoin were killed in /world by the Francillians, however, ostrich1414 was urged to gather an army of like-minded SimPvP players and unite against the Church of Francis, as the People's Coalition declared war against them on December 10th.<br />
<br />
[[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Imperial War was much more chaotic, destructive, and hate-filled. Numerous griefs took place throughout the duration of the war: the People's Coalition griefed two Francillian outposts, Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle, on the day of the war declaration, with the Church of Francis responding by griefing [[New Oberstein]], and then [[Tol Honeth]], the next two days. The first half of the war was largely characterized by this strategy, with back-and-forth griefs between the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis--however, at first, many of the griefed bases were inactive or abandoned. Soon, Bitchport, New Brunoland, GS Base #1, RBC Spawn Base, McCapital, and [[Florestria]] would follow suit, all being griefed by both parties. Of course, many battles would take place as well, mostly located in /world or nearby spawn. Despite most of these battles being small skirmishes or ambushes, the largest battle would take place on December 17th in /world, in which a large number of troops from both sides would meet and fight--although there would be no clear victor.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war would become much more chaotic and personally devastating to those affected. This began when the Church of Francis targeted and raided [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first active city to be affected by the war. This left numerous members of the People's Coalition homeless and angry, with tensions and bitterness soaring. The People's Coalition would hit back by griefing [[Swaglabs]], with which the Church of Francis would respond by griefing Axetown. However, the breaking point would occur on January 11th, 2021, when the People's Coalition made a surprise ambush by raiding and annexing [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main city. The base was discovered by AntHand, using a then-secret wolf tracking exploit, rendering the otherwise secure base defenseless. This made Lord1 and the rest of the Church of Francis furious, with tensions now reaching a boiling point. Things only worsened when the People's Coalition raided [[Pepe's Holy Land]] seven days later, another secure Francillian base. Although the battles and skirmishes had completely halted by this point, tensions flared between both affected parties.<br />
<br />
[[File:Swaglabs Grief 2.png|400px]] [[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, on January 28th, 2021, peace would be made. After over a week of negotiations and peace talks between the two warring parties, agreements were finally reached. Both the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis were drained and disillusioned by the war: what had started as a seemingly tongue-in-cheek conflict had grown into a truly devastating crisis, leaving many homeless and angry. Now that the war was over, representatives from both parties met at Gibraltar Castle to finalize the peace agreements, thus ending the Imperial War for good. The Order of Wilbur promptly departed from the People's Coalition, with one of their agreements in the peace talks to never initiate war with the Church of Francis again.<br />
<br />
[[File:Imperial War Peace 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Reconstruction==<br />
<br />
After the Imperial War had finally ended, the Order of Wilbur entered a period of moderate reconstruction. Their long-time rivalry with the Church of Francis (now the Holy States of Francis) had culminated into two wars, a series of conflicts and battles, and all-around bitterness and toxicity between members. By this point, ostrich1414 had grown weary of the rivalry, and desired a true state of peace between the two entities.<br />
<br />
On February 15th, 2021, ostrich1414 founded [[Riverwood]], a small town with the goal of recruiting new players and helping to get them started on the server. Within the first week, Riverwood had successfully recruited over a dozen new players, all of whom assisted in expanding and growing the town significantly. Seeing this as an opportunity to finally promote peace and unity, the Order of Wilbur and the Holy States of Francis agreed to use Riverwood as a joint base for just that, with each constructing a temple within the town. For the first time ever, a Francillian and a Wilburian temple existed in harmony in the same location; Lord1 and ostrich1414 used this as a means to showcase the importance of unity and respect to their new recruits, many of whom quickly excelled on the server. Despite these initial gains, however, Riverwood would slowly fall into a period of inactivity by March--but its peace with the Francillians remained.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
For almost two years now, the Order of Wilbur had stayed from its initial purpose as a "secretive cult" and had become engrossed in the server's limelight through many major incidents with the Holy States of Francis. Ostrich1414 had a desire to bring the organization back to its roots, wanting to descend the Order of Wilbur back into the shadows as SimPvP's most exclusive religious group. As such, a few new members were initiated and plans were drafted for brand new community projects, akin to Suidae Temple. The first of these projects would be the refurbishment of a public spawn / end spawn portal used by many players; ostrich1414 and [[willowienal]] cleaned up the spawn side of it, making it look much nicer and adding new amenities. The group had also begun to make several changes to its internal infrastructure, putting an emphasis on community building projects over military prowess.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==São Porco==<br />
<br />
Ever since the fall of Wilburia in May 2020, the Order of Wilbur had lacked an official headquarters. This would change on April 19th, 2021, when cheesy_chips22 returned to the server after a long hiatus and reunited with ostrich1414, and the two founded the city of [[São Porco]]. Unlike Wilburia before it, São Porco would be a new Wilburian capital city with an immensely different theme and aesthetic: it is largely influenced by Brazilian architecture and inspired by coastal, tropical cities within the country, including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Settling on a jungle biome along the ocean, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 set to work, recruiting a number of Wilburian members and close allies to join as farms and builds immediately sprung up.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Gang 1.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Embracing the new Brazilian/South American theme, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 headed construction of Vila Porta, a rustic tropical village along the coast, centered around the city's portal hub. Underneath this village, MoWobbler would create a massive, sprawling sewer system composed of mazes, tunnels, traps, hidden rooms, and an underground city. [[Bruno_vera]] would assist with this project and establish a series of catacombs within the sewer system. Meanwhile, [[GentleGiant69]], [[ElectricChugg]], and willowienal would focus on broadening São Porco's collection of farms; some of these high-quality farms include a ghast tear farm, a wither skeleton farm, an iron farm, a mob farm, a totem farm, a bartering farm, and more, as well as SkullerG's five-level gold farm. Nearby Vila Porta, a dense district primarily composed of skyscrapers would develop, containing the city's main storage facility. However, most notably, cheesy_chips22 would work on São Porco's most anticipated project, its hillside favelas, sprawling randomly along the rugged man-made mountains along the coast. Unlike Wilburia's more calculated city aesthetic, São Porco would become a much more community-driven capital for the Order of Wilbur.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Alliance with Francis and the G.S.F.W.==<br />
<br />
Historically, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had been bitter rivals, having gone to war twice and participating in a number of griefs and battles against each other by mid-2021. However, in post-Imperial War SimPvP, the overall climate was changing as the two enemies slowly began to warm up to each other. This progression towards comradery was catapulted by their joint base Riverwood in February, as well as the COF's focus on the [[Confederacy-Francis War]] starting in May, giving them a new rival to engage with--the [[Confederacy of Man]]. Furthermore, both the OOW and COF's long-term goals were becoming more similar: to shy away from drama and focus more community-driven build projects. Of course, the thing that truly helped were the personal relationships shared between many members of both teams, as players were far more friendly with each other than bitter.<br />
<br />
On June 7th, 2021, a historic moment was made when, for the first time in over two years as warring enemies, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis became official allies. A peace conference was held at a site a few thousand blocks away from [[Quabbin]], to which several members from both groups arrived to accept the new era of peace they were entering into. At the conference, the two teams would apologize for past wrongdoings and propose ideas for future joint endeavors to strengthen their bond as allies, as well as establishing overall objectives for their new alliance. Ostrich1414 and Lord1, as heads of their respective teams, would proceed to sign a formal and official peace treaty, which was then distributed to all Wilburians and Francillians alike.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COF Summit 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Shortly after the alliance, both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis would engage in talks with [[GS Trading Co.]] (a team which both the OOW and COF were already closely allied with) to establish a potential super-alliance. This new coalition was eventually founded in late June, known by the simple title of "[[G.S.F.W.]]", referencing the names of each participating team. Although the three powers had grand plans to work on collaborative bases and projects together, these plans were quickly put to the side as a new threat suddenly loomed over the group: YMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]]. Although the Order of Wilbur and GS Trading Co. had been on good terms with YMP for a while, their sudden formal alliance with the COF (a team which YMP still hated) caused them to be roped into a sudden conflict. While the origins of this conflict are complicated, it largely began after the COF and GS griefed Cope Town on July 10th, a base founded by YMP members [[1590283112]] and [[DKC]]; however, even before this, YMP had griefed Riverwood on June 29th, which, although long since abandoned by then, was a shared base between the OOW and COF.<br />
<br />
By early August, it was apparent that another era of drama was coming, although unlike the Imperial War when the Order of Wilbur took an active approach in perpetuating it, they were this time largely uninterested in engaging with diplomatic crises. With both YMP and even the Confederacy of Man still engaging in conflict with the COF and GS, ostrich1414, on behalf of the Order of Wilbur, attempted to use his goodwill with COM leader [[Nikoxlas]] to stage peace talks between the two teams at Yittrium on August 7th. Unfortunately, this would go nowhere, and constant battles and ambushes in /world between YMP/COM and GS/COF/OOW would occur. On August 23rd, 2021, YMP would grief GS Trading Co.'s abandoned former capital, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]]--a base which had also housed Wilburians ostrich1414 and MoWobbler. This was met with a swift response by G.S.F.W., who retaliated by targeting an abandoned YMP base, Skyreach, that very same night.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COM Conference.png|400px]] [[File:Skyreach Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Shortly after these two back-to-back griefs, YMP would declare war on GS Trading Co., the Church of Francis, and the Order of Wilbur, respectively; however, none of these teams would recognize this war, and refused to respond with a counter-declaration. Nevertheless, this sudden conflict and ensuing drama worked to bring the members of G.S.F.W. closer together than ever, making it one of the most sturdy and powerful alliances in modern SimPvP history.<br />
<br />
==A Crippling Conflict==<br />
<br />
Despite the Order of Wilbur being adamant on staying out of the conflict with YMP, preferring to maintain diplomacy over war, it would constantly find itself dragged in, whether through its alliance in G.S.F.W. or through the aggression of YMP. Wilburians would often find /world to be too hostile to use, regularly getting ambushed and attacked by YMP members. However, their worst hit of the conflict would occur due to the serious security risks imposed at São Porco. Although bruno_vera had been both a member of São Porco and the Order of Wilbur for several months, he was also a member of YMP, and it was becoming clear that his priorities lay more with YMP than the Wilburians. This seriously worried the other members of the base, who felt that bruno_vera would become a liability and eventually leak the city--and this was not an unfound concern, as YMP had made several threats against São Porco throughout the conflict. This paranoia reached its boiling point when several key members of São Porco held serious reason to believe that bruno_vera had betrayed them and the city in favor of YMP; not wanting to risk the city falling into their hands, the members instead opted to loot the entire city, grief it, and abandon it. Thus, on August 28th, 2021, São Porco was severely griefed by a few of its members and promptly abandoned, while bruno_vera was officially kicked from the clan.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although the opportunity for YMP to grief São Porco had ended, the Order of Wilbur was nonetheless devastated by the loss of its capital city, being forced to relocate to a temporary location underground. They would eventually move to a new, more secure location much further out, establishing their newest capital city, [[New Yittrium]], on September 4th. All the while, the conflict between G.S.F.W. and YMP would continue, eventually culminating into the most severe casualty when, on September 21st, 2021, GS Trading Co.'s main base was raided and griefed by YMP, promptly ending GS's dominance on the server. This created a major rift within the G.S.F.W. as many GS members left the server, leaving it more COF and OOW dominated. Nevertheless, the conflict, which would ultimately go on to be known as [[The GS YMP Conflict of 2021]], would dissolve into an unofficial armistice as hostilities ended by October 2021.<br />
<br />
[[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Not wanting to be restricted by the conflict, the Order of Wilbur instead opted to be defiant of the toxicity and hostility, and founded its first major spawn base in months. On August 21st, 2021, ostrich1414 and [[AntiFreezeFluid]] would found the city of [[Gosnold]], located on an island roughly 7.6k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the Order of Wilbur were determined to make it both the largest and most luxurious city in the greater spawn region, modeling the city off of other iconic Wilburian megacities like Yittrium and Quabbin. Gosnold would consist primarily of tall concrete skyscrapers, many of which were built by both ostrich1414 and AntiFreezeFluid themselves. However, all Wilburians were invited to join the city, and eventually the city was opened up to all G.S.F.W. members. Outside of Wilburians, several Francillians would arrive at the city to build, and it became the second joint Wilburian-Francillian city in SimPvP history. The city's skyline was soon dotted by a plethora of unique skyscrapers, as well as temples for both the OOW and COF, a few basic farms, and its central city hall. Willowienal would even begin work on a massive stone statue of Jesus Christ nearby the city's shores.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold Chillin 1.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold Boolin.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Gosnold's inevitable demise would come sooner rather than later, and the Order of Wilbur were unable to completely ignore the ongoing hostilities of the conflict. In what would largely become the last major event of the declining G.S.F.W. / YMP conflict, the Order of Wilbur received intel that YMP was actively searching for Gosnold, determined to destroy it. The city had been growing significantly throughout September 2021, but on October 1st, all that would change--and, ironically, not from YMP. [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]] were discovered severely griefing Gosnold, block-by-block, until each skyscraper was completely dismantled, as if nothing was there. The Operators were discovered in the midst of their grief by 1590283112, and a battle thus ensued, with vv101zeli and jake276493 soon arriving to assist 1590283112 against the Operators. Unfortunately, Gosnold would be severely and utterly griefed, although not in the traditional sense; roughly three-quarters of its cityscape was removed by the Operators, leaving behind a hollow shell of what was once spawn's most unique city.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
With the self-grief of São Porco, the dismantling of Gosnold, and the numerous ambushes and attacks at the hands of YMP, as well as the degredation of their allies, the Order of Wilbur had suffered significantly from a conflict in which they never wanted to participate in. Because of this, many Wilburians were left in a depressive state, discouraged by the conflict that had ravaged them.<br />
<br />
==The Wilburian Reformation==<br />
<br />
Between mid October 2021 and mid November 2021, the Order of Wilbur entered a temporary state of demoralization and inactivity due to the immense trauma from the conflict with YMP, and the overall toxic state of the server. Several Wilburians relocated from SimPvP to another semi-anarchy Minecraft server known as Uneasy Vanilla during this time, while the remainder kept quiet on SimPvP. Despite this brief break, the team would once again regroup in mid November following their return from Uneasy Vanilla, noticing that the server climate had slightly improved during their break.<br />
<br />
Thanks to a high-output obsidian farm at New Yittrium, GentleGiant69 and ostrich1414 devised a plan to put their surplus reserves of obsidian to good use, in the form of massive statues and structures around spawn. On November 23rd, the OOW constructed a large obsidian T-rex, their first major spawn project since Gosnold. The next day, however, they would begin construction on their magnum opus: the [[Snail]]. Consisting of over 177,000 blocks of obsidian, and completely solid, this massive obsidian snail statue would instantly becoming the largest obsidian structure at SimPvP spawn. The project itself became a serverwide sensation, drawing over twenty participants, all aiding in the construction of the statue and the placement of obsidian. Between November 24th and 26th, the Snail was miraculously completed, even despite facing the threat of several battles that occurred on site. Thanks to their success, both the T-rex and Snail statues would revitalize the OOW's motivation for SimPvP and help reform them into a group with new goals and aspirations.<br />

<br />
By this point, the Order of Wilbur was slowly growing into a more public and accepting clan, although it still kept a tight grip on its exclusivity. The emphasis on religion that had been there since 2014 had been slowly waning over time, and a new period of focus on base building and spawn projects was becoming more apparent. By December 9th, the OOW would officially release their member list to the public, a first for the clan in SimPvP history. This would come after the acceptance of a few new members, adding to the team's growth.<br />
<br />
On November 27th, the Order of Wilbur would once again fund another major base when ostrich1414 helped establish several players from Uneasy Vanilla, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Along with [[LidGuy]], these seven players moved much further out and eventually settled on a coastal area, founding a new city known as [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become an affiliated base of the OOW, and several other Wilburians would arrive to help build at the city, including MoWobbler, ElectricChugg, GentleGiant69, [[Laztec]], and willowienal. Thanks to their obsidian farm, the Wilburians helped fund Pangaea's three-layer gold farm, as well as several skyscrapers and other buildings and farms. Over the course of the next few months, Pangaea would flourish in activity and progress, becoming a much larger city complete with a diverse set of builds in different architectural styles. It would also house many other non-Wilburians who would help contribute to the city's growth.<br />
<br />

<br />
Perhaps the OOW's greatest achievement during this period of internal reformation would occur between early to mid December 2021, thanks to Laztec's introduction of the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign. This campaign was determined to repair spawn through a variety of different methods, from clearing lavacasts to fixing highways; however, the first step the MSGA campaign would take under both Laztec and ostrich1414's supervision was the "Water Removal" project, in which the OOW and their allies focused on removing spawn's excessive water flooding in an effort to reduce FPS lag. By December 15th, the MSGA had been successful, clearing a large portion of spawn's largest water pocket thanks to a combined effort of Laztec constructing water-eating machines and the manual use of sponges and other solid blocks.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to the success of these many OOW-led spawn projects, as well as a few other secret ones, the group felt that they were establishing a new purpose for themselves. Furthermore, the team was unanimously opposed to drama and conflict; the toxicity of 2021, especially the conflict with YMP, had soured their interest in server politics, and by 2022, they had all but embraced neutrality. Despite this, they were still official members of the G.S.F.W., a super-alliance that did not feel fully neutral and was once again being targeted by YMP. Wanting to fully express their neutrality and focus on themselves as a group, and their own personal goals and objectives away from SimPvP politics and drama, the OOW officially withdrew from the G.S.F.W on January 4th, 2022 thanks to a unanimous decision from its members, effectively ending the alliance.<br />
<br />
Once again free to keep to themselves, the OOW had many projects to focus on. Void City, New Yittrium, and Pangaea were prospering cities, growing in size and wealth, and the group's many other side projects were keeping them busy and motivated. TuataraBoots and ostrich1414 would take charge in the creation of a secure portal hub explicitly for use by Wilburians, using a series of one-ways to bring them to several bases. Other projects would be devised and planned, with Laztec even announcing the future continuation of the MSGA campaign. It was clear to many that the Order of Wilbur had emerged from the ashes of trauma and depression and had bloomed once again, experiencing a major reformation as a group and, arguably, entering a new renaissance period.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Memorial Hub.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Continued Prosperity==<br />
<br />
As the Wilburian Reformation period continued, with new members being added to the group and new projects being planned and constructed, the Order of Wilbur was immersed in its most prosperous period yet. Fortunately, the first few months of 2022 would prove to be the most peaceful era of SimPvP in years, and the OOW's new objectives of staying neutral and peaceful allowed them to flourish and focus on numerous projects, from more work at spawn to base building and recruitment.<br />
<br />
Laztec's trademark MSGA campaign would continue under the Order of Wilbur's supervision and funding, although a new multi-clan organization, known as [[The Federation]], would be founded by Laztec on February 20th to centralize these spawn efforts. The water removal campaign continued on throughout January and into February, with "Phase II" of the MSGA taking hold after a short hiatus. After the team managed to remove a large chunk of SimPvP spawn's water, Laztec focused his efforts on setting up TNT dupers to destroy spawn's many lavacasts (thanks to the recent re-addition of TNT duping at spawn). One major project for the MSGA involved the clearing of lavacasts covering the Snail, the OOW's other major project months prior. Once the casts were cleared, Laztec and ostrich1414 headed a massive community project that involved the water-cubing of the entire Snail; essentially, all of the Snail was now underwater, preventing it from being lavacasted effectively. Unfortunately, due to the opposition of some players like TheOnlySlash and bruno_vera, many of the lavacasts destroyed by the MSGA were quickly replaced.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Water Removal Squad.png|400px]] [[File:Laztec on a TNT Duper.png|400px]] [[File:Watercubed Snail.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects, many Wilburian bases entered a period of growth and prosperity. Although the city of Pangaea had become a major security risk (having been discovered by two different players twice) and was promptly abandoned, the core members of the city would move on to found a brand new city, even bigger, better, and more secure than Pangaea: [[Kinabalu]]. Primarily made up of OOW members and a few other outside allies from Pangaea, Kinabalu would become another massive modern city for the group, boasting several sleek skyscrapers, high-powered farms, and other beautiful builds. Cheesy_chips22's medieval neighborhood would become a defining feature of the city, as well as LidGuy's skyscraper district and Laztec's massive villager breeding complex, Breed Corp. Unlike Pangaea, which largely functioned as a recruit base and had no real city planning, Kinabalu blossomed as a well-planned, self-sufficient city, become one of the OOW's major components.<br />
<br />
[[File:Early Kinabalu.png|400px]] [[File:AntiFreezeFluid Kinabalu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, the OOW's capital city, New Yittrium, would be thriving as well during this period. Already having created many high-tech farms thanks to GentleGiant69 and ElectricChugg, the city finally began to focus more on aesthetic builds by late March 2022. In fact, New Yittrium would undergo a massive restructuring process by April, going so far as to reshape its entire identity and rename itself. New Yittrium would subsequently change its name to "Civitrium", with the name "New Yittrium" now belonging solely to MoWobbler's district--in fact, Civitrium was now made up of several sovereign city-states, with each city-state having its own name and aesthetic. Civitrium was now the name for the "continent" in which these city-states existed, or the base overall, and each city-state established borders amongst each other. Outside of these changes, the city continued to flourish, quickly becoming the OOW's wealthiest city to date.<br />
<br />
[[File:Civitrium Gang February.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The OOW's two other staple cities, [[Void City]] and [[Nova Aeterna]], also experienced growth. While Void City had been relatively stagnant for some time, it experienced another building boom by April, with Korijenkins, TheOnlySlash, and ostrich1414 contributing new builds. Meanwhile, DakkaDok would work diligently on growing and expanding Nova Aeterna, his latest endeavor in the "Nos Astra" series of bases. Void City and Civitrium would form a very close trade relationship during this time, with ostrich1414 and Korijenkins consistently trading between themselves to contribute to the growth of each base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void City April 9th.png|400px]] [[File:NovA 25 2 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects and bases, the OOW would grow closer as a community. One common activity that the group engaged in frequently together was basehunting, mostly around the greater spawn region. This was largely inspired by the growth of the OOW's private portal hub, known as the Stonetown Portal Hub, which housed access to numerous old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. In fact, the hub itself would become a long-term project for the team, with ostrich1414, TuataraBoots, cheesy_chips22, and LidGuy all investing in its construction and expansion, including new links, new rooms, and new sections. Thanks to all of the above, the OOW's internal community would become its strongest yet, and the constant upward trajectory of the group enabled it to grow closer than ever before. Of course, the OOW would still occasionally participate in other community events, from the COF's "3rd Annual International Lord1 Day" party in February to assisting the GS-sponsored reparation of end spawn throughout February to April.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Complacency==<br />
<br />
After many months of increased growth and prosperity thanks to the Wilburian Reformation, the Order of Wilbur would finally enter a slower period by the start of summer in 2022. Large spawn projects and community events hosted by the OOW would quietly diminish as the group began focusing on their own bases, with Civitrium and Kinabalu especially growing during this period of time. Although June would be a relatively quiet month for the team, July would become one of their most important. The month would begin with the founding of [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's newest community project. Founded on July 10th by ostrich1414 and Laztec, Shadow Grove was unique for taking advantage of a new feature brought to SimPvP thanks to the upgrade to 1.18: building under bedrock. Due to new changes in build depth and terrain generation, the group could now build in the void under bedrock. Thus, Shadow Grove was born: a small, rustic base located not far from spawn, floating within the void under bedrock. Although Shadow Grove would grow modestly, with a few Wilburians working on the base, it would become the site of the group's most important celebration yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Shadow Grove 1.png|400px]] [[File:Shadow Grove 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur would celebrate its eight year anniversary at two locations: first, at Stonetown alongside the Church of Francis, and second, at Shadow Grove, exclusive for Wilburians. This was an important moment for the OOW: not only was it celebrating eight years of existence (the longest of any clan on SimPvP), but it was the first time that the OOW was able to celebrate its anniversary in years, being unable to do so in 2021 due to the crisis with YMP. At Stonetown, the OOW would celebrate alongside their allies, the Church of Francis, exchanging gifts and partaking in other events. Then, shortly afterwards, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where every member was given an individualized, handwritten book from ostrich1414, among other gifts. The celebrations concluded with the OOW moving to the build server, helping Nebuelaz work on testing his then-in-progress event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]].<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW 8 Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The next few months would steadily slow down for the OOW as members lapsed into periods of inactivity, or focused on building their bases, but community events and projects would still occur. Laztec would lead the construction of two more massive obsidian structures in early August: Terabyte and Millennium Bridge. Although Terabyte was a bit smaller in scale, and primarily constructed by Wilburians, Millennium Bridge was a behemoth of a project that required the assistance of numerous helpers outside the OOW, easily becoming the largest obsidian structure in SimPvP history at nearly 1,200 blocks long and around 175,000 total obsidian. Unfortunately, Millennium Bridge would also become the target of terrorist attacks throughout the month, primarily at the hands of [[Goujon]] and [[f8tal]], both of whom lavacasted and withered it. Outside of these two projects, however, the OOW's involvement in large-scale community projects would decline.<br />
<br />
[[File:Terabyte 1.png|400px]] [[File:Terabyte 2.png|400px]] [[File:BridgeRender2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to its staunch emphasis on neutrality, the OOW would entirely avoid involvement in [[The Dominion-Francis Conflict]], which occurred throughout September to November 2022. Despite being closer allies with the Church of Francis, the OOW chose not to pick sides and largely remained uninvolved. Still, the group would continue to maintain friendly ties with the COF: ostrich1414 would attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration on September 3rd as a Wilburian diplomat, while Laztec would attend a summit between the COF and the Modern Communist Agency on October 19th. Another interesting occurrence was [[dacegod863]]'s decision to revitalize [[Fern Springs]], a forgotten and abandoned OOW spawn base that was originally founded by ostrich1414 and TuataraBoots in March 2022. Although the two had abandoned the base after one building, dacegod863 would start building there again in early December, breathing new life into the forgotten town and completely refreshing it, leading other Wilburians to return to the site and build. However, as a whole, the OOW had become much quieter by September, with most members focusing on their bases like Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City. After many exciting months of growth, progress, and projects, it began to appear as though the OOW was falling into a period of stagnation. This was proved further by ostrich1414's month-long hiatus in November, arguably the slowest month for the OOW of 2022. Although the year had been stellar for the group, the cracks were beginning to show.<br />

The Order of Wilbur is the oldest and longest-running clan still active today on SimPvP, having been founded shortly after the tragic death of [[Wilbur]] the Pig on July 29th, 2014, in [[Stonetown]]. Starting off as a very secretive and secluded cult dedicated to worshipping the life of their holy martyr Wilbur, the clan has since evolved and morphed over the years into a much larger and more public organization, shying away from its strictly-religious roots and branching off into the realms of base building and spawn projects. Unlike many other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur has always been very exclusive in its membership, and has maintained a tight-knit community with shared goals and values.<br />

=Membership=<br />
<br />
For many years, the Order of Wilbur has kept its membership private and confidential from the public, maintaining a model of secrecy and exclusivity. However, as the clan has grown and evolved over the years, the ability to maintain this secrecy frequently came into question. As of December 9th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur began to publicly reveal its membership list, no longer keeping its members confidential from the rest of the server. However, unlike other clans on SimPvP, the Order of Wilbur does not have any ranks or hierarchies; everyone is equal.<br />

=Beliefs and Structure=<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has slowly begun to open itself up to the public over the years, the clan nevertheless keeps much of its inner workings secret, including its core beliefs and objectives. However, the Order of Wilbur has maintained two primary goals regarding the worship of its Divine Lord, [[Wilbur]]:<br />
<br />
*To honor, worship and promote the life and teachings of Wilbur the Pig, who was so quickly taken from us.<br />
*To connect with Wilbur's heavenly spirit through holy rituals and offerings.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur was originally founded as a religious cult, and still primarily operates as a religious cult, it has slowly shed this aspect of its identity over time and has embraced a more secular approach to its format. That being said, the clan still worships Wilbur as its one true god, and nearly every Wilburian operated or affiliated base has a temple or "sanctuary" built at it for worship. Wilburian temples typically follow a similar theme, embracing the colors of pink, red, yellow, and orange as its primary team colors--this often leads to temples harboring a "fiery" aesthetic, with heavy lava and nether brick usage. Wilbur is still regarded as the team's idol and mascot, and although members are not forced to engage in religious practices, the worship of Wilbur as an idol is encouraged. "The Life of Wilbur", a book written by [[ostrich1414]] in 2014 while stoned, is often regarded as the clan's holiest text.<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur believes heavily in equality and refuses to discriminate within its membership. There are currently no ranks and no hierarchy within the group. While ostrich1414, as the team's original founder and oldest active member, is often regarded as its de facto "leader", he is not officially the leader of the Order of Wilbur, and instead regards himself as an elder founder. Every member of the group is equal and decisions are often made democratically. Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur encourages individuality and self-expression among its members, never denying their freedom of speech and allowing all members to express themselves as Wilburians however they wish.<br />
<br />
While the Order of Wilbur has historically been an isolated team and has engaged in several wars, it has since favored a more diplomatic and oftentimes pacifistic approach to its political outlook. The Order of Wilbur no longer wishes to engage in battles, griefs, or wars unless absolutely necessary, preferring to sit out of major political crises. The team's primary focus consists of base building and spawn projects, with many unique cities and structures under its belt over the years. In recent times, the team has dedicated itself to community efforts in and around the spawn region, as well as organizing both team events and large server events, as well as constructing breathtaking megacities and iconic spawn structures.<br />
<br />
In terms of membership, the Order of Wilbur is very exclusive, only inviting trusted and well-respected regular players into its inner circle. New players are not allowed to become Wilburians, and anyone interested in joining must first prove their worth through server activity, hard work, and respect. Furthermore, new recruits are often approached by Wilburians to join, rather than vice versa, and initiations into the clan typically occur at the their holiest city, [[Stonetown]], in the form of a minor ceremony. The Order of Wilbur prefers a "quality over quantity" approach with its membership, and has carefully crafted a catalogue of well-respected and influential members over the years. In fact, the Order of Wilbur has laid claim to more [[Admins]] than any other team on SimPvP: as of December 2021, the Order of Wilbur has had five admins within its membership, with four currently serving as members, and one being a former admin.<br />
<br />
=Registry of Holy Sites=<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur, as of September 2021, established its "Official Registry of Holy Sites"--bases, places, and locations on SimPvP that have inherent holy and historic value to the Order of Wilbur, its culture, and its beliefs. The only condition is that a Holy Site must no longer be active as a settlement. These locations are thus listed as "Holy Sites" and are recognized as important for preservation.<br />

[[File:Order of Wilbur Timeline.png|800px]]<br />
<br />
==July 29th, 2014==<br />
<br />
On July 29th, 2014 in the small community of [[Stonetown]], player [[ostrich1414]] was on a mission to receive every achievement that Minecraft offered. As the achievements began to get more difficult, one of them stood out from the rest: "When Pigs Fly". To get this achievement, a player must ride atop a pig using a saddle and fly him off of a cliff, potentially killing both entities in the process. Thus, ostrich1414 went to pursue this goal as he searched the town for a seemingly harmless, innocent pig to use for his own desires.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The pig that ostrich1414 eventually found was named [[Wilbur]]: a pig who would soon become iconic. After mounting Wilbur and climbing up to the top of Stonetown's infamous Tree Dome, ostrich1414 pushed Wilbur forward and the two plummeted to their deaths, both dying upon impact.<br />
<br />
This death sparked server-wide controversy as players condemned ostrich1414 and his brutal actions which had resulted in Wilbur's murder. Almost immediately after the atrocity occurred, a memorial for Wilbur was constructed in both /world and in his hometown, Stonetown. A national mourning for his death was ordered and the date has since become that of legend.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Birth of a Cult==<br />
<br />
Immediately after the death of Wilbur, ostrich1414, with some help from [[JavelinFury]], established the Order of Wilbur in his honor. The Order of Wilbur was originally meant to be a highly secretive cult dedicated to worshipping Wilbur as a holy martyr, unjustly killed. For the first two years of its lifespan, the OOW was relatively quiet; only a handful of selected players were allowed to join the cult, including ostrich1414 and JavelinFury, as well as [[pippenger]], [[unclechain]], and [[INDIGO011]]. While membership was strict and exclusive, public knowledge of the cult was even more so: very few on the server were made aware of the OOW, and its rituals and values were kept secret. As Stonetown's activity soon waned and was eventually abandoned by late 2014, ostrich1414 still utilized the base as the OOW's headquarters, with it becoming the cult's unofficial capital city and holy ground.<br />
<br />
Between 2014 and 2015, the Order of Wilbur mostly constructed small temples around the server, usually in each new iteration of /world, and occasionally at bases and around spawn. It was also around this time in which ostrich1414 wrote the book "The Life of Wilbur" while high, a book which he has consistently regretted, but has since become a holy test for the clan. Nevertheless, the OOW's religious values were first and foremost for the cult, and while these were kept secret from the SimPvP public, ostrich1414, JavelinFury, and pippenger would occassionally leak information about it to draw curiosity from others. Unfortunately, by 2016, ostrich1414 had entered a long hiatus; this left the OOW largely inactive, with only JavelinFury involved with it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quinsigamond Wilbur Memorial.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By 2017, ostrich1414 returned to the server in full force, eventually founding multiple bases and two new groups back-to-back: the [[United Alliance]] and [[The League]], both that same year. While the United Alliance and the League were separate individual clans with much larger, public presences on the server, they both accepted the Order of Wilbur as their primary religion of choice, and the cult secretly operated behind the scenes, establishing several temples--then known as "sanctuaries"--at both UA and League bases. The first major OOW "sanctuary" built in 2017 was at [[Quinsigamond]], followed shortly thereafter by [[Monarchia]], with both cities becoming major Wilburian strongholds. This would continue well into 2018, with the OOW functioning as a more public, yet still highly secretive and exclusive, religious cult.<br />
<br />
==Adapting to the Changes of 2019==<br />
<br />
In February of 2019, SimPvP entered an unprecedent player boom as hundreds of new players flocked to the server. By this point, the Order of Wilbur had been slowly growing in relevance and influence, and this new addition of players led the OOW to capitalize on their attention. By early 2019, [[Struthio]] was one of the defining cities of the time, and was also a major Wilburian powerhouse, with several temples scattered around the city. Later on, by May 2019, the city of [[Yittrium]] would be founded by both ostrich1414 and several of these new 2019 players, a few of whom were later accepted into the OOW as its newest generation of members. The largest Wilburian "sanctuary" yet would be established in Yittrium, and the city would quickly become the OOW's most powerful base yet, both in terms of influence and wealth. This also led the OOW to be catapulted into the server's spotlight as a major team. Despite this, the "secretive cult" aspect still largely remained, though it had begun to crumble as more publicity was brought to it.<br />
<br />
[[File:StruthioMay2019I.png|400px]] [[File:Yittrium Skyline WDL.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, with this new player boom, and the OOW now becoming a major clan, some new religions would be founded in direct opposition to it. In early July 2019, the newly-established [[Church Of Fluz]] announced its public opposition to the Order of Wilbur and the prophet Wilbur himself. Originally created by [[TheOnlySlash]] and [[SirTashingdon]], the Church Of Fluz continued making blasphemous, defamatory remarks about the organization, thus forcing the Order of Wilbur to emerge from its secretive shadows and engage in a public rivalry with the Church (although the Church of Fluz would be a short-lived phenomenon, becoming inactive within a few months). The [[Church of Francis]] was another new religious organization formed in the summer of 2019 in August. Unlike the Church of Fluz, the Church of Francis established peaceful relations with the Order of Wilbur, and the two religions formed an alliance of mutual respect and worship. [[Lord1]], the church's founder, even went as far as to describe the two religions as "linked". Unfortunately, by October 2019, this good relationship would be fractured as war impended.<br />
<br />
==The Holy Wilbur-Francis War==<br />
<br />
[[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]], which occurred between October 17th, 2019 - November 18th, 2019, was by far the most violent war in SimPvP history, with a series of bloody battles under its name. Ironically, it would be this war that would truly bring the Order of Wilbur into the limelight: prior to the war, the cult was rather secretive and isolationist, but this war catapulted the religion's interior organization and beliefs into the public eye.<br />
<br />
The war began on October 17th, 2019 when ostrich1414 declared war on the Church of Francis, seeing their growing size and influence as a threat to the Order of Wilbur as the server's dominant religion. Thus, a series of violent and destructive battles would occur throughout the duration of the war, with notable battles occurring in several cities like [[Castle Snowfrog]], [[Syracusai]], and [[Monarchia]]. While the Church of Francis would see a fair amount of victories in battle and acquired almost x2 more kills than the Wilburians, it was the Order of Wilbur that dominated the war, securing more victorious battles.<br />
<br />
[[File:WilburianAmryVictory.png|400px]] [[File:MonarchiaVictory1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the Order of Wilbur, due to its popularity, was able to secure and convert a much larger army of followers than the Church of Francis. The Wilburian army would be massive in size, with several battles dominating the Church of Francis in terms of player count. In fact, many soldiers who fought for the Order of Wilbur had previously been unaffiliated with the religion.<br />
<br />
On November 17th, 2019, on what is known as "V-Day", the Order of Wilbur emerged victorious after the Church of Francis surrendered following their most recent loss at the Battle of Syracusai. A massive peace conference and victory celebration was held at [[Virunum]], with ostrich1414 and Lord1, the Church of Francis General, signing a peace treaty together. This would be the most significant event in the history of the Order of Wilbur since the death of Wilbur, and their victory would prove their dominance over Francis and as the server's main religion. This would also plunge the Order of Wilbur into the public eye, making it less-secretive than it once had been.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Post-War Incidents of 2020==<br />
<br />
After the Order of Wilbur's victory during the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, a temporary period of peaceful reconstruction occurred between the two religions. Lord1 was invited to Yittrium in December 2019, which was a major Wilburian city, and both Lord1 and ostrich1414 had plans of making a joint Wilburian-Francillian temple there together. However, this period of peace between Wilburians and Francillians was cut short: between January 15th, and 17th, 2020, [[The Sigil Conflict]] occurred, which primarily resulted due to the resurgence of the rivalry. After the Church of Francis's [[Sigil]] temple was vandalized with pro-Wilburian propaganda, Lord1 initiated an assault on the city, annexing it for the Church of Francis and instigating a two-day religious conflict. This culminated in ostrich1414 arriving at the city, destroying the temple in the name of Wilbur, and fighting the Francillian occupants. While the Sigil Conflict would ultimately end in peace, this incident reignited the rivalry between the two factions.<br />
<br />
[[File:Francis Grief at Sigil.png|400px]] [[File:Sigil Peace.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Another major incident occurred between April 15th and April 16th, this time in the Order of Wilbur's holy city, Stonetown. [[The Stonetown Incident]], once again between the Church of Francis and the Order of Wilbur, occurred when Lord1 attempted to fully annex the town for the Church of Francis, upon the gifting of the town's deed by [[Porkington]]. This was taken as an act of hostility by members of the Order of Wilbur, who reacted with anger and reclaimed Stonetown, threatening the Francillians. A back-and-forth of re-annexations occurred between the two religions, until the possibility of yet another war neared on the horizon. To prevent another war, Lord1 and ostrich1414 met at the neutral base [[Verillium]] to establish peace and identify Stonetown as a neutral base due to its sacred nature.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Annex 4.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Annex 6.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==The City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur==<br />
<br />
Between January 24th and May 6th, 2020, the Order of Wilbur saw the rise and progression of its first and largest city to date: the [[City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur]], a.k.a. "Wilburia". The concept for a new Wilburian religious capital had been on ostrich1414's mind for years, but after the raid of Yittrium in January 5th, he was finally compelled to create Wilburia as a testament to his religious devotion. Ostrich1414 invited [[Zepheron]], [[cheesy_chips22]], and Porkington--three major devout Wilburians--to aid him in constructing the city.<br />
<br />
[[File:OG Wilburia Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Wilburia became known for the massive statue of Wilbur that served as the city's centerpiece, standing atop an ornate pedestal. Other major Wilburian landmarks included the religion's largest (and tallest) temple and a museum that house several significant items, ranging from Wilbur's original drops to Holy War artifacts. Wilburia was also an industrial powerhouse: it became one of the wealthiest, most powerful bases of its time, and propelled itself to the forefront of SimPvP politics. The Order of Wilbur's first major city was a success, and was growing rapidly.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wilburia 3.png|400px]] [[File:Wilburia May 7 Part I.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this success would be cut short when on May 6th, 2020, [[AntHand]] and [[egnaroky]] of the [[Caudices]] discovered and annexed Wilburia. This angered its members severely, who protested the annexation and completely abandoned the city, moving on to new things. While the city luckily avoided griefing, it was largely looted for its remaining resources, and was considered fully abandoned and nonoperational, marking the end of the Order of Wilbur's powerhouse megacity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caudices at Wilburia.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Destruction and Forgiveness==<br />
<br />
After the fall of Wilburia, the Order of Wilbur entered a small period of stagnation as many of its major members went on a hiatus or focused on other opportunities. By the summer of 2020, many Wilburians were involved in [[The Republic]], a newly-formed group dedicated solely to opposing Lord1 and even the Church of Francis itself. Since many Wilburians still harbored a hatred for the Church of Francis, they found the Republic to be a suitable home, including ostrich1414 and Zepheron themselves.<br />
<br />
Of course, this affiliation would have tragic results. After the Republic griefed [[Two Words]], the Church of Francis' main base at the time, Lord1 decided to retaliate by targeting Stonetown--the most sacred base in the Order of Wilbur, as well as one of the longest-lasting bases on SimPvP. After six years of remaining upkept, the Church of Francis had effectively destroyed Stonetown on June 23rd, 2020, reducing the holiest city in the religion to ashes. This action became immediately controversial, and left many Wilburians furious.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Grief 1.png|400px]] [[File:Stonetown Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the Republic-Church of Francis beef would soon wane into obscurity, and by the fall of 2020, the Order of Wilbur was back to its period of stagnation. Meanwhile, the Church of Francis had been growing much larger, even establishing an empire. In the eyes of many Wilburians, this left them to view the Church of Francis as increasingly aggressive and imperialistic, only further straining their longtime rivalry. The last major incident between the two religions would occur on September 15th, 2020, when ElectricChugg was harassed and killed by several Francillians. Enraged by their actions and aggressions, ostrich1414 finally decided to retaliate and called for an organized battle to be held, the first armed conflict between Wilburians and Francillians since the Holy Wilbur-Francis War almost a year prior. Thus ensued the [[Battle of Swampland]], a major battle between Francillians Lord1, James8B, and xexc versus Wilburians ostrich1414, [[MoWobbler]], and ElectricChugg. Fought entirely in a swamp biome near spawn, the battle would rage on for nearly an hour. The only death would be ElectricChugg at the hands of Lord1, and eventually ostrich1414 and MoWobbler were forced to flee. This would result in a Church of Francis victory.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bos.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, as time went on, the two often-warring sides were beginning to open up to prospects of peace. On November 18th, 2020, the first major peace conference between the two would occur in the form of the one-year anniversary of the end of the Holy Wilbur-Francis War. Representatives of both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis both met in Verillium to celebrate both the end of the war and to admit to wrongdoings of the past. For the first time ever, both parties apologized for war crimes, griefs, and petty actions, with the first signs of peace beginning to blossom between the two.<br />
<br />
[[File:Holy War One Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:Holy War One Year 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==New Temples==<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the Order of Wilbur would begin to put more focus on individual structures in its catalogue. In August 2020, [[Zepheron]] founded what is known as "The Grand Sanctuary", a massive Wilburian temple located in the middle of a forest. Although largely unfinished, the current temple stands at an impressive size, with a design hearkening back to [[Strawman Temple]]. The temple consists of a columned Romanesque tomb-like building with pillars and Wilburian memoribilia everywhere. Originally, Zepheron anticipated the construction of a massive domed extension behind the current Grand Sanctuary, but it was unfortunately never completed.<br />
<br />
[[File:The Grand Sanctuary 1.png|400px]] [[File:The Grand Sanctuary 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
After many months of no real progress, the Order of Wilbur finally bounced back when it decided to construct its first temple in the greater [[spawn]] region on December 3rd, 2020. Located in the middle of an ocean, ostrich1414, MoWobbler and [[SkullerG]] all worked to create a massive temple known as [[Suidae Temple]]. This structure would be unique for its composition of nine "tubes" all arranged in a 3x3 grid pattern, raising upwards with domes capping them off. The interior of the temple would contain systematic bridges sweeping through each leveled tube, as well as many religious memorabilia and monuments to Wilbur.<br />
<br />
[[File:Suidae Temple Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Suidae Temple Shader 1.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Both the Grand Sanctuary Suidae Temple would mark the Order of Wilbur's first foray into influencing spawn, something the Church of Francis had been steadily doing throughout the latter half of 2020, as well as the creation of brand new places of worship. These would also be the Order of Wilbur's first major construction projects since the City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur had fallen.<br />
<br />
==The Imperial War==<br />
<br />
The Order of Wilbur would officially participate in its second major war against the Church of Francis, more than a year after the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, upon the declaration of [[The Imperial War]]. Between December 10th, 2020 and January 28th, 2021, the Order of Wilbur joined the People's Coalition as a founding member, a loose collective of various groups dedicated to waging war against the Francillians. Although the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had begun to see some signs of peace in late 2020, many players, including ostrich1414 himself, had become fed up with the Francillians' imperialistic virtues and their increasingly more erratic behavior. After [[Sellout9]] and SimCoin were killed in /world by the Francillians, however, ostrich1414 was urged to gather an army of like-minded SimPvP players and unite against the Church of Francis, as the People's Coalition declared war against them on December 10th.<br />
<br />
[[File:PC 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Unlike the Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the Imperial War was much more chaotic, destructive, and hate-filled. Numerous griefs took place throughout the duration of the war: the People's Coalition griefed two Francillian outposts, Lakeside Lodge and Gibraltar Castle, on the day of the war declaration, with the Church of Francis responding by griefing [[New Oberstein]], and then [[Tol Honeth]], the next two days. The first half of the war was largely characterized by this strategy, with back-and-forth griefs between the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis--however, at first, many of the griefed bases were inactive or abandoned. Soon, Bitchport, New Brunoland, GS Base #1, RBC Spawn Base, McCapital, and [[Florestria]] would follow suit, all being griefed by both parties. Of course, many battles would take place as well, mostly located in /world or nearby spawn. Despite most of these battles being small skirmishes or ambushes, the largest battle would take place on December 17th in /world, in which a large number of troops from both sides would meet and fight--although there would be no clear victor.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pitchport 2.png|400px]] [[File:Major World Fight 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The second half of the war would become much more chaotic and personally devastating to those affected. This began when the Church of Francis targeted and raided [[Goldforge Citadel]], the first active city to be affected by the war. This left numerous members of the People's Coalition homeless and angry, with tensions and bitterness soaring. The People's Coalition would hit back by griefing [[Swaglabs]], with which the Church of Francis would respond by griefing Axetown. However, the breaking point would occur on January 11th, 2021, when the People's Coalition made a surprise ambush by raiding and annexing [[Three Words]], Lord1 and [[Tenced]]'s main city. The base was discovered by AntHand, using a then-secret wolf tracking exploit, rendering the otherwise secure base defenseless. This made Lord1 and the rest of the Church of Francis furious, with tensions now reaching a boiling point. Things only worsened when the People's Coalition raided [[Pepe's Holy Land]] seven days later, another secure Francillian base. Although the battles and skirmishes had completely halted by this point, tensions flared between both affected parties.<br />
<br />
[[File:Swaglabs Grief 2.png|400px]] [[File:Three Words Raid 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
However, on January 28th, 2021, peace would be made. After over a week of negotiations and peace talks between the two warring parties, agreements were finally reached. Both the People's Coalition and the Church of Francis were drained and disillusioned by the war: what had started as a seemingly tongue-in-cheek conflict had grown into a truly devastating crisis, leaving many homeless and angry. Now that the war was over, representatives from both parties met at Gibraltar Castle to finalize the peace agreements, thus ending the Imperial War for good. The Order of Wilbur promptly departed from the People's Coalition, with one of their agreements in the peace talks to never initiate war with the Church of Francis again.<br />
<br />
[[File:Imperial War Peace 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Reconstruction==<br />
<br />
After the Imperial War had finally ended, the Order of Wilbur entered a period of moderate reconstruction. Their long-time rivalry with the Church of Francis (now the Holy States of Francis) had culminated into two wars, a series of conflicts and battles, and all-around bitterness and toxicity between members. By this point, ostrich1414 had grown weary of the rivalry, and desired a true state of peace between the two entities.<br />
<br />
On February 15th, 2021, ostrich1414 founded [[Riverwood]], a small town with the goal of recruiting new players and helping to get them started on the server. Within the first week, Riverwood had successfully recruited over a dozen new players, all of whom assisted in expanding and growing the town significantly. Seeing this as an opportunity to finally promote peace and unity, the Order of Wilbur and the Holy States of Francis agreed to use Riverwood as a joint base for just that, with each constructing a temple within the town. For the first time ever, a Francillian and a Wilburian temple existed in harmony in the same location; Lord1 and ostrich1414 used this as a means to showcase the importance of unity and respect to their new recruits, many of whom quickly excelled on the server. Despite these initial gains, however, Riverwood would slowly fall into a period of inactivity by March--but its peace with the Francillians remained.<br />
<br />
[[File:Riverwood Gang.png|400px]] [[File:Riverwood February 26 II.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
For almost two years now, the Order of Wilbur had stayed from its initial purpose as a "secretive cult" and had become engrossed in the server's limelight through many major incidents with the Holy States of Francis. Ostrich1414 had a desire to bring the organization back to its roots, wanting to descend the Order of Wilbur back into the shadows as SimPvP's most exclusive religious group. As such, a few new members were initiated and plans were drafted for brand new community projects, akin to Suidae Temple. The first of these projects would be the refurbishment of a public spawn / end spawn portal used by many players; ostrich1414 and [[willowienal]] cleaned up the spawn side of it, making it look much nicer and adding new amenities. The group had also begun to make several changes to its internal infrastructure, putting an emphasis on community building projects over military prowess.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ost and Willow Portal.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==São Porco==<br />
<br />
Ever since the fall of Wilburia in May 2020, the Order of Wilbur had lacked an official headquarters. This would change on April 19th, 2021, when cheesy_chips22 returned to the server after a long hiatus and reunited with ostrich1414, and the two founded the city of [[São Porco]]. Unlike Wilburia before it, São Porco would be a new Wilburian capital city with an immensely different theme and aesthetic: it is largely influenced by Brazilian architecture and inspired by coastal, tropical cities within the country, including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Settling on a jungle biome along the ocean, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 set to work, recruiting a number of Wilburian members and close allies to join as farms and builds immediately sprung up.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Gang 1.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Squad New.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Embracing the new Brazilian/South American theme, ostrich1414 and cheesy_chips22 headed construction of Vila Porta, a rustic tropical village along the coast, centered around the city's portal hub. Underneath this village, MoWobbler would create a massive, sprawling sewer system composed of mazes, tunnels, traps, hidden rooms, and an underground city. [[Bruno_vera]] would assist with this project and establish a series of catacombs within the sewer system. Meanwhile, [[GentleGiant69]], [[ElectricChugg]], and willowienal would focus on broadening São Porco's collection of farms; some of these high-quality farms include a ghast tear farm, a wither skeleton farm, an iron farm, a mob farm, a totem farm, a bartering farm, and more, as well as SkullerG's five-level gold farm. Nearby Vila Porta, a dense district primarily composed of skyscrapers would develop, containing the city's main storage facility. However, most notably, cheesy_chips22 would work on São Porco's most anticipated project, its hillside favelas, sprawling randomly along the rugged man-made mountains along the coast. Unlike Wilburia's more calculated city aesthetic, São Porco would become a much more community-driven capital for the Order of Wilbur.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Alliance with Francis and the G.S.F.W.==<br />
<br />
Historically, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis had been bitter rivals, having gone to war twice and participating in a number of griefs and battles against each other by mid-2021. However, in post-Imperial War SimPvP, the overall climate was changing as the two enemies slowly began to warm up to each other. This progression towards comradery was catapulted by their joint base Riverwood in February, as well as the COF's focus on the [[Confederacy-Francis War]] starting in May, giving them a new rival to engage with--the [[Confederacy of Man]]. Furthermore, both the OOW and COF's long-term goals were becoming more similar: to shy away from drama and focus more community-driven build projects. Of course, the thing that truly helped were the personal relationships shared between many members of both teams, as players were far more friendly with each other than bitter.<br />
<br />
On June 7th, 2021, a historic moment was made when, for the first time in over two years as warring enemies, the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis became official allies. A peace conference was held at a site a few thousand blocks away from [[Quabbin]], to which several members from both groups arrived to accept the new era of peace they were entering into. At the conference, the two teams would apologize for past wrongdoings and propose ideas for future joint endeavors to strengthen their bond as allies, as well as establishing overall objectives for their new alliance. Ostrich1414 and Lord1, as heads of their respective teams, would proceed to sign a formal and official peace treaty, which was then distributed to all Wilburians and Francillians alike.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COF Summit 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW-COF Summit 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Shortly after the alliance, both the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis would engage in talks with [[GS Trading Co.]] (a team which both the OOW and COF were already closely allied with) to establish a potential super-alliance. This new coalition was eventually founded in late June, known by the simple title of "[[G.S.F.W.]]", referencing the names of each participating team. Although the three powers had grand plans to work on collaborative bases and projects together, these plans were quickly put to the side as a new threat suddenly loomed over the group: YMP, or [[YeeterMyPeeter]]. Although the Order of Wilbur and GS Trading Co. had been on good terms with YMP for a while, their sudden formal alliance with the COF (a team which YMP still hated) caused them to be roped into a sudden conflict. While the origins of this conflict are complicated, it largely began after the COF and GS griefed Cope Town on July 10th, a base founded by YMP members [[1590283112]] and [[DKC]]; however, even before this, YMP had griefed Riverwood on June 29th, which, although long since abandoned by then, was a shared base between the OOW and COF.<br />
<br />
By early August, it was apparent that another era of drama was coming, although unlike the Imperial War when the Order of Wilbur took an active approach in perpetuating it, they were this time largely uninterested in engaging with diplomatic crises. With both YMP and even the Confederacy of Man still engaging in conflict with the COF and GS, ostrich1414, on behalf of the Order of Wilbur, attempted to use his goodwill with COM leader [[Nikoxlas]] to stage peace talks between the two teams at Yittrium on August 7th. Unfortunately, this would go nowhere, and constant battles and ambushes in /world between YMP/COM and GS/COF/OOW would occur. On August 23rd, 2021, YMP would grief GS Trading Co.'s abandoned former capital, [[Sternenfall Nochmal]]--a base which had also housed Wilburians ostrich1414 and MoWobbler. This was met with a swift response by G.S.F.W., who retaliated by targeting an abandoned YMP base, Skyreach, that very same night.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW-COM Conference.png|400px]] [[File:Skyreach Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Shortly after these two back-to-back griefs, YMP would declare war on GS Trading Co., the Church of Francis, and the Order of Wilbur, respectively; however, none of these teams would recognize this war, and refused to respond with a counter-declaration. Nevertheless, this sudden conflict and ensuing drama worked to bring the members of G.S.F.W. closer together than ever, making it one of the most sturdy and powerful alliances in modern SimPvP history.<br />
<br />
==A Crippling Conflict==<br />
<br />
Despite the Order of Wilbur being adamant on staying out of the conflict with YMP, preferring to maintain diplomacy over war, it would constantly find itself dragged in, whether through its alliance in G.S.F.W. or through the aggression of YMP. Wilburians would often find /world to be too hostile to use, regularly getting ambushed and attacked by YMP members. However, their worst hit of the conflict would occur due to the serious security risks imposed at São Porco. Although bruno_vera had been both a member of São Porco and the Order of Wilbur for several months, he was also a member of YMP, and it was becoming clear that his priorities lay more with YMP than the Wilburians. This seriously worried the other members of the base, who felt that bruno_vera would become a liability and eventually leak the city--and this was not an unfound concern, as YMP had made several threats against São Porco throughout the conflict. This paranoia reached its boiling point when several key members of São Porco held serious reason to believe that bruno_vera had betrayed them and the city in favor of YMP; not wanting to risk the city falling into their hands, the members instead opted to loot the entire city, grief it, and abandon it. Thus, on August 28th, 2021, São Porco was severely griefed by a few of its members and promptly abandoned, while bruno_vera was officially kicked from the clan.<br />
<br />
[[File:São Porco Before Grief.png|400px]] [[File:São Porco Grief 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Although the opportunity for YMP to grief São Porco had ended, the Order of Wilbur was nonetheless devastated by the loss of its capital city, being forced to relocate to a temporary location underground. They would eventually move to a new, more secure location much further out, establishing their newest capital city, [[New Yittrium]], on September 4th. All the while, the conflict between G.S.F.W. and YMP would continue, eventually culminating into the most severe casualty when, on September 21st, 2021, GS Trading Co.'s main base was raided and griefed by YMP, promptly ending GS's dominance on the server. This created a major rift within the G.S.F.W. as many GS members left the server, leaving it more COF and OOW dominated. Nevertheless, the conflict, which would ultimately go on to be known as [[The GS YMP Conflict of 2021]], would dissolve into an unofficial armistice as hostilities ended by October 2021.<br />
<br />
[[File:New Yittrium Gang.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Not wanting to be restricted by the conflict, the Order of Wilbur instead opted to be defiant of the toxicity and hostility, and founded its first major spawn base in months. On August 21st, 2021, ostrich1414 and [[AntiFreezeFluid]] would found the city of [[Gosnold]], located on an island roughly 7.6k from spawn. Despite its close proximity to spawn, the Order of Wilbur were determined to make it both the largest and most luxurious city in the greater spawn region, modeling the city off of other iconic Wilburian megacities like Yittrium and Quabbin. Gosnold would consist primarily of tall concrete skyscrapers, many of which were built by both ostrich1414 and AntiFreezeFluid themselves. However, all Wilburians were invited to join the city, and eventually the city was opened up to all G.S.F.W. members. Outside of Wilburians, several Francillians would arrive at the city to build, and it became the second joint Wilburian-Francillian city in SimPvP history. The city's skyline was soon dotted by a plethora of unique skyscrapers, as well as temples for both the OOW and COF, a few basic farms, and its central city hall. Willowienal would even begin work on a massive stone statue of Jesus Christ nearby the city's shores.<br />
<br />

<br />
Unfortunately, Gosnold's inevitable demise would come sooner rather than later, and the Order of Wilbur were unable to completely ignore the ongoing hostilities of the conflict. In what would largely become the last major event of the declining G.S.F.W. / YMP conflict, the Order of Wilbur received intel that YMP was actively searching for Gosnold, determined to destroy it. The city had been growing significantly throughout September 2021, but on October 1st, all that would change--and, ironically, not from YMP. [[OperatorUltra]], [[OperatorLucid]], and [[OperatorDeimos]] were discovered severely griefing Gosnold, block-by-block, until each skyscraper was completely dismantled, as if nothing was there. The Operators were discovered in the midst of their grief by 1590283112, and a battle thus ensued, with vv101zeli and jake276493 soon arriving to assist 1590283112 against the Operators. Unfortunately, Gosnold would be severely and utterly griefed, although not in the traditional sense; roughly three-quarters of its cityscape was removed by the Operators, leaving behind a hollow shell of what was once spawn's most unique city.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gosnold September 24.png|400px]] [[File:Gosnold Grief.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
With the self-grief of São Porco, the dismantling of Gosnold, and the numerous ambushes and attacks at the hands of YMP, as well as the degredation of their allies, the Order of Wilbur had suffered significantly from a conflict in which they never wanted to participate in. Because of this, many Wilburians were left in a depressive state, discouraged by the conflict that had ravaged them.<br />
<br />
==The Wilburian Reformation==<br />
<br />
Between mid October 2021 and mid November 2021, the Order of Wilbur entered a temporary state of demoralization and inactivity due to the immense trauma from the conflict with YMP, and the overall toxic state of the server. Several Wilburians relocated from SimPvP to another semi-anarchy Minecraft server known as Uneasy Vanilla during this time, while the remainder kept quiet on SimPvP. Despite this brief break, the team would once again regroup in mid November following their return from Uneasy Vanilla, noticing that the server climate had slightly improved during their break.<br />
<br />
Thanks to a high-output obsidian farm at New Yittrium, GentleGiant69 and ostrich1414 devised a plan to put their surplus reserves of obsidian to good use, in the form of massive statues and structures around spawn. On November 23rd, the OOW constructed a large obsidian T-rex, their first major spawn project since Gosnold. The next day, however, they would begin construction on their magnum opus: the [[Snail]]. Consisting of over 177,000 blocks of obsidian, and completely solid, this massive obsidian snail statue would instantly becoming the largest obsidian structure at SimPvP spawn. The project itself became a serverwide sensation, drawing over twenty participants, all aiding in the construction of the statue and the placement of obsidian. Between November 24th and 26th, the Snail was miraculously completed, even despite facing the threat of several battles that occurred on site. Thanks to their success, both the T-rex and Snail statues would revitalize the OOW's motivation for SimPvP and help reform them into a group with new goals and aspirations.<br />
<br />
[[File:T-Rex Statue.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 1.png|400px]] [[File:Finished Snail 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
By this point, the Order of Wilbur was slowly growing into a more public and accepting clan, although it still kept a tight grip on its exclusivity. The emphasis on religion that had been there since 2014 had been slowly waning over time, and a new period of focus on base building and spawn projects was becoming more apparent. By December 9th, the OOW would officially release their member list to the public, a first for the clan in SimPvP history. This would come after the acceptance of a few new members, adding to the team's growth.<br />
<br />
On November 27th, the Order of Wilbur would once again fund another major base when ostrich1414 helped establish several players from Uneasy Vanilla, including [[TuataraBoots]], [[WatermelonFun11]], [[probablynotnick]], [[craftgirlie]], and CloudDragon29. Along with [[LidGuy]], these seven players moved much further out and eventually settled on a coastal area, founding a new city known as [[Pangaea]]. Pangaea would become an affiliated base of the OOW, and several other Wilburians would arrive to help build at the city, including MoWobbler, ElectricChugg, GentleGiant69, [[Laztec]], and willowienal. Thanks to their obsidian farm, the Wilburians helped fund Pangaea's three-layer gold farm, as well as several skyscrapers and other buildings and farms. Over the course of the next few months, Pangaea would flourish in activity and progress, becoming a much larger city complete with a diverse set of builds in different architectural styles. It would also house many other non-Wilburians who would help contribute to the city's growth.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pangaea Skyline January 29.png|400px]] [[File:Chilling in Villager Hall.png|400px]] [[File:Gonmoose at Pangaea 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the OOW's greatest achievement during this period of internal reformation would occur between early to mid December 2021, thanks to Laztec's introduction of the "Make Spawn Great Again" campaign. This campaign was determined to repair spawn through a variety of different methods, from clearing lavacasts to fixing highways; however, the first step the MSGA campaign would take under both Laztec and ostrich1414's supervision was the "Water Removal" project, in which the OOW and their allies focused on removing spawn's excessive water flooding in an effort to reduce FPS lag. By December 15th, the MSGA had been successful, clearing a large portion of spawn's largest water pocket thanks to a combined effort of Laztec constructing water-eating machines and the manual use of sponges and other solid blocks.<br />
<br />
[[File:MSGA Water 1.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 2.png|400px]] [[File:MSGA Water 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to the success of these many OOW-led spawn projects, as well as a few other secret ones, the group felt that they were establishing a new purpose for themselves. Furthermore, the team was unanimously opposed to drama and conflict; the toxicity of 2021, especially the conflict with YMP, had soured their interest in server politics, and by 2022, they had all but embraced neutrality. Despite this, they were still official members of the G.S.F.W., a super-alliance that did not feel fully neutral and was once again being targeted by YMP. Wanting to fully express their neutrality and focus on themselves as a group, and their own personal goals and objectives away from SimPvP politics and drama, the OOW officially withdrew from the G.S.F.W on January 4th, 2022 thanks to a unanimous decision from its members, effectively ending the alliance.<br />
<br />
Once again free to keep to themselves, the OOW had many projects to focus on. Void City, New Yittrium, and Pangaea were prospering cities, growing in size and wealth, and the group's many other side projects were keeping them busy and motivated. TuataraBoots and ostrich1414 would take charge in the creation of a secure portal hub explicitly for use by Wilburians, using a series of one-ways to bring them to several bases. Other projects would be devised and planned, with Laztec even announcing the future continuation of the MSGA campaign. It was clear to many that the Order of Wilbur had emerged from the ashes of trauma and depression and had bloomed once again, experiencing a major reformation as a group and, arguably, entering a new renaissance period.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stonetown Memorial Hub.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
==Continued Prosperity==<br />
<br />
As the Wilburian Reformation period continued, with new members being added to the group and new projects being planned and constructed, the Order of Wilbur was immersed in its most prosperous period yet. Fortunately, the first few months of 2022 would prove to be the most peaceful era of SimPvP in years, and the OOW's new objectives of staying neutral and peaceful allowed them to flourish and focus on numerous projects, from more work at spawn to base building and recruitment.<br />
<br />
Laztec's trademark MSGA campaign would continue under the Order of Wilbur's supervision and funding, although a new multi-clan organization, known as [[The Federation]], would be founded by Laztec on February 20th to centralize these spawn efforts. The water removal campaign continued on throughout January and into February, with "Phase II" of the MSGA taking hold after a short hiatus. After the team managed to remove a large chunk of SimPvP spawn's water, Laztec focused his efforts on setting up TNT dupers to destroy spawn's many lavacasts (thanks to the recent re-addition of TNT duping at spawn). One major project for the MSGA involved the clearing of lavacasts covering the Snail, the OOW's other major project months prior. Once the casts were cleared, Laztec and ostrich1414 headed a massive community project that involved the water-cubing of the entire Snail; essentially, all of the Snail was now underwater, preventing it from being lavacasted effectively. Unfortunately, due to the opposition of some players like TheOnlySlash and bruno_vera, many of the lavacasts destroyed by the MSGA were quickly replaced.<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW Water Removal Squad.png|400px]] [[File:Laztec on a TNT Duper.png|400px]] [[File:Watercubed Snail.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects, many Wilburian bases entered a period of growth and prosperity. Although the city of Pangaea had become a major security risk (having been discovered by two different players twice) and was promptly abandoned, the core members of the city would move on to found a brand new city, even bigger, better, and more secure than Pangaea: [[Kinabalu]]. Primarily made up of OOW members and a few other outside allies from Pangaea, Kinabalu would become another massive modern city for the group, boasting several sleek skyscrapers, high-powered farms, and other beautiful builds. Cheesy_chips22's medieval neighborhood would become a defining feature of the city, as well as LidGuy's skyscraper district and Laztec's massive villager breeding complex, Breed Corp. Unlike Pangaea, which largely functioned as a recruit base and had no real city planning, Kinabalu blossomed as a well-planned, self-sufficient city, become one of the OOW's major components.<br />
<br />
[[File:Early Kinabalu.png|400px]] [[File:AntiFreezeFluid Kinabalu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Of course, the OOW's capital city, New Yittrium, would be thriving as well during this period. Already having created many high-tech farms thanks to GentleGiant69 and ElectricChugg, the city finally began to focus more on aesthetic builds by late March 2022. In fact, New Yittrium would undergo a massive restructuring process by April, going so far as to reshape its entire identity and rename itself. New Yittrium would subsequently change its name to "Civitrium", with the name "New Yittrium" now belonging solely to MoWobbler's district--in fact, Civitrium was now made up of several sovereign city-states, with each city-state having its own name and aesthetic. Civitrium was now the name for the "continent" in which these city-states existed, or the base overall, and each city-state established borders amongst each other. Outside of these changes, the city continued to flourish, quickly becoming the OOW's wealthiest city to date.<br />
<br />
[[File:Civitrium Gang February.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The OOW's two other staple cities, [[Void City]] and [[Nova Aeterna]], also experienced growth. While Void City had been relatively stagnant for some time, it experienced another building boom by April, with Korijenkins, TheOnlySlash, and ostrich1414 contributing new builds. Meanwhile, DakkaDok would work diligently on growing and expanding Nova Aeterna, his latest endeavor in the "Nos Astra" series of bases. Void City and Civitrium would form a very close trade relationship during this time, with ostrich1414 and Korijenkins consistently trading between themselves to contribute to the growth of each base.<br />
<br />
[[File:Void City April 9th.png|400px]] [[File:NovA 25 2 2022.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Outside of spawn projects and bases, the OOW would grow closer as a community. One common activity that the group engaged in frequently together was basehunting, mostly around the greater spawn region. This was largely inspired by the growth of the OOW's private portal hub, known as the Stonetown Portal Hub, which housed access to numerous old and abandoned OOW-affiliated bases. In fact, the hub itself would become a long-term project for the team, with ostrich1414, TuataraBoots, cheesy_chips22, and LidGuy all investing in its construction and expansion, including new links, new rooms, and new sections. Thanks to all of the above, the OOW's internal community would become its strongest yet, and the constant upward trajectory of the group enabled it to grow closer than ever before. Of course, the OOW would still occasionally participate in other community events, from the COF's "3rd Annual International Lord1 Day" party in February to assisting the GS-sponsored reparation of end spawn throughout February to April.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Complacency==<br />
<br />
After many months of increased growth and prosperity thanks to the Wilburian Reformation, the Order of Wilbur would finally enter a slower period by the start of summer in 2022. Large spawn projects and community events hosted by the OOW would quietly diminish as the group began focusing on their own bases, with Civitrium and Kinabalu especially growing during this period of time. Although June would be a relatively quiet month for the team, July would become one of their most important. The month would begin with the founding of [[Shadow Grove]], the OOW's newest community project. Founded on July 10th by ostrich1414 and Laztec, Shadow Grove was unique for taking advantage of a new feature brought to SimPvP thanks to the upgrade to 1.18: building under bedrock. Due to new changes in build depth and terrain generation, the group could now build in the void under bedrock. Thus, Shadow Grove was born: a small, rustic base located not far from spawn, floating within the void under bedrock. Although Shadow Grove would grow modestly, with a few Wilburians working on the base, it would become the site of the group's most important celebration yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Shadow Grove 1.png|400px]] [[File:Shadow Grove 2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
On July 29th, the Order of Wilbur would celebrate its eight year anniversary at two locations: first, at Stonetown alongside the Church of Francis, and second, at Shadow Grove, exclusive for Wilburians. This was an important moment for the OOW: not only was it celebrating eight years of existence (the longest of any clan on SimPvP), but it was the first time that the OOW was able to celebrate its anniversary in years, being unable to do so in 2021 due to the crisis with YMP. At Stonetown, the OOW would celebrate alongside their allies, the Church of Francis, exchanging gifts and partaking in other events. Then, shortly afterwards, the Wilburians would move to Shadow Grove, where every member was given an individualized, handwritten book from ostrich1414, among other gifts. The celebrations concluded with the OOW moving to the build server, helping Nebuelaz work on testing his then-in-progress event, [[Neb Clancy's Rainbow Sim Siege]].<br />
<br />
[[File:OOW 8 Year 1.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 2.png|400px]] [[File:OOW 8 Year 3.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The next few months would steadily slow down for the OOW as members lapsed into periods of inactivity, or focused on building their bases, but community events and projects would still occur. Laztec would lead the construction of two more massive obsidian structures in early August: Terabyte and Millennium Bridge. Although Terabyte was a bit smaller in scale, and primarily constructed by Wilburians, Millennium Bridge was a behemoth of a project that required the assistance of numerous helpers outside the OOW, easily becoming the largest obsidian structure in SimPvP history at nearly 1,200 blocks long and around 175,000 total obsidian. Unfortunately, Millennium Bridge would also become the target of terrorist attacks throughout the month, primarily at the hands of [[Goujon]] and [[f8tal]], both of whom lavacasted and withered it. Outside of these two projects, however, the OOW's involvement in large-scale community projects would decline.<br />
<br />
[[File:Terabyte 1.png|400px]] [[File:Terabyte 2.png|400px]] [[File:BridgeRender2.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
Thanks to its staunch emphasis on neutrality, the OOW would entirely avoid involvement in [[The Dominion-Francis Conflict]], which occurred throughout September to November 2022. Despite being closer allies with the Church of Francis, the OOW chose not to pick sides and largely remained uninvolved. Still, the group would continue to maintain friendly ties with the COF: ostrich1414 would attend [[MrDavid99]]'s pope inauguration on September 3rd as a Wilburian diplomat, while Laztec would attend a summit between the COF and the Modern Communist Agency on October 19th. Another interesting occurrence was [[dacegod863]]'s decision to revitalize [[Fern Springs]], a forgotten and abandoned OOW spawn base that was originally founded by ostrich1414 and TuataraBoots in March 2022. Although the two had abandoned the base after one building, dacegod863 would start building there again in early December, breathing new life into the forgotten town and completely refreshing it, leading other Wilburians to return to the site and build. However, as a whole, the OOW had become much quieter by September, with most members focusing on their bases like Civitrium, Kinabalu, and Void City. After many exciting months of growth, progress, and projects, it began to appear as though the OOW was falling into a period of stagnation. This was proved further by ostrich1414's month-long hiatus in November, arguably the slowest month for the OOW of 2022. Although the year had been stellar for the group, the cracks were beginning to show.<br />

<div>The SimPvP Map Art Competition is an annual server-operated event in which players create [[Map Art]]s and submit them to be voted on in a competition, with the map art that gains the most votes being the winner. The map art submission period typical lasts around a month, while the voting period takes place in the events world at a polling station, lasting for a few hours of the following day. Prizes for the winner may vary depending on the competition, but typically, a winner will have their map art on permanent display at [[spawn]], and receive miscellaneous goods from a donation box, also at spawn.<br />
<br />
=Rules and Logistics=<br />
<br />
Anyone can submit a map art during the month-long submission period of the competition, but it must satisfy the following requirements to be eligible:<br />
<br />
*The map art must be 1x1 (128x128 blocks)<br />
*The map art must not already appear on the SimPvP [[Map Art]] wiki page prior to the competition<br />
*The map art must remain anonymous throughout the duration of the competition and voting process<br />
*The map art must be given a title by the creator<br />
*Rendered maps of the world seed (i.e. spawn, bases, terrain) do not count as map art<br />
<br />
As long as these basic rules are followed, there is no limit or regulation on what map arts can be entered. Past examples of submissions have included landscapes, memes, scenes from movies, SimPvP history, animals, and graphic designs. If you are having trouble making a map art, consider consulting with [[Burger's Guide to Making Map Art]].<br />
<br />
When voting for a map art, this is the general process to be taken:<br />
<br />
*A fee of one diamond block is required to vote<br />
*Upon paying the fee, you will type /event and enter the SimPvP Map Art Competition Polling Station<br />
*You will be given tickets (pieces of paper) with your username on them, one ticket for each submitted map art<br />
*You may vote for as many map arts as you wish, as long as you only enter one ticket per one map art; duplicate votes will be removed and nullified<br />
*After you are finished voting, type /quitevent to exit the polling station<br />
<br />
The one diamond block voting fees are collected and eventually given to the winner of the competition as one of the many prizes. While prizes may vary depending on the competition, the winner will typically have their map art on permanent display at spawn for all to see. There may also be a donation box for players to drop items of any value into; these donations will also be provided to the winner.<br />
<br />
As long as all the above requirements and regulations are met, any player can participate in the competition / voting process.<br />
<br />
=Conceptual History=<br />
<br />
In early March 2021, the very first idea of a map art competition was suggested by schfv (gonmoose), as map arts had seen a sudden surge in popularity over the last few months. The basic theory behind the competition was that, if players were given an incentive to participate and compete against one another, more quality map arts would be produced. [[Ostrich1414]], an avid map art collector and creator, liked this idea and decided to host one himself, drafting the plans for the very first competition the following day.<br />
<br />
On March 5th, 2021, the very first SimPvP Map Art Competition was announced, hosted by ostrich1414 as an official server event. At the time, plans to name the winner of the competition were still being discussed: ostrich1414 had originally favored a system that used a few neutral, unaffiliated players to judge the map art entries, while [[Yukarion]] preferred an approval voting system that required a fee of one diamond block. Eventually, the approval voting system was chosen as the method of calculating the winner of the competition.<br />
<br />
Rather than having a basic online vote, ostrich1414 felt that an in-game polling station in the events world would be a much more fun, engaging, and memorable experience for participants. He eventually recruited iLxgend to construct a polling station for the competition, where the map arts would be on display for voters to cast their tickets and vote. iLxgend's design was accepted and incorporated into the events world, where it was used for the very first map art voting process on April 1st, 2021.<br />

At the very first Map Art Competition, iLxgend would be named as the winner, securing 28 total votes for his piece, "SimPvP". His map art was thus put on display at spawn, and he was gifted all the other prizes of the competition, including the diamond block voting fees and the contents of the donation box. All participants who submitted a map art were granted a copy of each submitted map art.<br />

At the second annual Map Art Competition one year later, [[Lord1]] and [[IAmTheSheriff]] would be announced as the winners for their team effort of "Battle of Monarchia", which received 32 votes. Their map art was thus put on display at spawn, replacing last year's winner, and the two split the diamond block prize from the voting fees, as well as receiving a second special prize.

<br />
At the third annual Map Art Competition, [[NirkieSFR]] would be announced as the winner for his map art "House by the Lake", receiving 37 total votes. His map art was thus put on display at spawn, replacing last year's winner, and he would win the diamond block voting fees, the contents of the spawn donation box, and a secret special prize. All participants who submitted a map art were granted a copy of each submitted map art.<br />

<hr />
<div>Map art is the process of placing blocks of certain colors and shades in a large area (most commonly 128x128) and then using a map to render that area from above, creating artwork. Most map arts reference elements of pop culture (television, music, movies, etc.), politics, memes, or famous logos and symbols. There are also map arts of SimPvP-related content, and map arts containing original creations or designs.<br />
<br />
Map art truly began to gain popularity in 2018 after [[clipchip]] created the piece "Asuka", the first widely-popular map art. However, map art had existed before then, although there were only two documented pieces: the original iteration of "MisterStrawman's Eye" by [[MisterStrawman]] and a Nazi Germany swastika created by [[Infam0us2]]. Unfortunately, very little is known about these map arts, and it is unknown what year they were created. Nevertheless, since 2018, map art has been a common fixture on SimPvP, with many players creating their own original work.<br />
<br />
For a tutorial detailing how to quickly and easily build a map of an image of your choice, see [[Burger's Guide to Making Map Art]].<br />
<br />
There is also an official annual SimPvP Map Art Competition, hosted every single year since 2021. For more information on this map art competition--including how it works, past winners, etc.--check out the [[Map Art Competition]] article.<br />

TuataraBoots is a player who joined SimPvP on November 27th, 2021. Originally from the Minecraft server Uneasy Vanilla, she was invited to SimPvP by [[ostrich1414]], bringing along several other UV players as well. Together, they formed the new city of [[Pangaea]], a base primarily composed of current and former UV players. TuataraBoots also joined [[The Order of Wilbur]] in January 2022, and later the bases [[Civitrium]] and [[Kinabalu]].<br />
<br />
TuataraBoots is a skilled builder and an advanced farms technician; much of her work can be seen at Pangaea, often embodying a rustic and natural aesthetic. She has also created many farms, including an iron farm, a villager trading hall, and a drowned farm, among others.</div>Ostrich1414https://simplicitypvp.net/w/index.php?title=GentleGiant69&diff=20335GentleGiant692023-02-10T22:56:54Z<p>Ostrich1414: </p>
