The Pippenger National History Museum is an extensive museum dedicated to server history located at Void City. Owned by Ostrich1414 and managed by Korijenkins, the museum houses various examples of map art, banners, artifacts, and architecture from various bases on the server, with over 19 bases being represented in some capacity. While many of the artifacts on display are replicas, the large scale exhibits of server architecture were all manually moved from the abandoned bases they resided in to the museum for preservation.
History
The Pippenger National History Museum was a project originally planned for construction at Belgium before the decision was made to move it to Void City. Ostrich had long desired to make a proper extensive museum at a base that covered broad ranges of server history, and due to the frequent destruction of his large city bases, was unable to do so. Korijenkins invited ostrich to Belgium for the purpose of creating a large underground museum, but due to the logistics problems created by the Belgium ocean draining project, plans never advanced out of the ideas phase. When Void City was founded, making a large museum became a much more feasible idea for the two. Originally planned to feature as a modern styled art gallery, Korijenkins made the decision to remodel it into something more grand and historic, and it transformed into an enormous repurposed cathedral reminiscent of Notre-Dame.
Layout
The museum is by far the most extensive collection of server history on Sim PvP, dozens of bases, groups, all map art, and all major group banners being represented on various floors. All of the architecture on display are original pieces brought from the bases they were dismantled from the location they originated from and reconstructed block for block in their respective displays. Each of the 5 floors, excusing the first floor due to the presence of the entrances on each side of the building, contain 5 major architectural pieces, 1 large centerpiece, 6 map arts, 8 banners, 2 armor displays, and 14 artifact displays amounting to well over 150 different examples of server history, with plans to expand the museum downwards with basement levels for more displays.
The majority of the artifacts gathered were provided by Korijenkins and ostrich1414, with some contributions coming from other Void City members.
First Floor Artifacts Gallery
This wool was recovered from Syracusai, allegedly belonging to the sheep worshiped there. The sheep in question was blown up by Korijenkins during the grief of the base.
When ostrich1414 was first made an admin, few expected him to use his powers responsibly. This grass block is one of eleven, spawned in by ostrich in a blatant abuse of power.
North Koria was a group started in March of 2019 by Korijenkins. The original base, also North Koria, was first reached by Korijenkins sailing to the location in this boat after exiting the nether highway.
When Two Words was griefed by the Republic in 2020, Korijenkins stumbled across this egg. Supposed to serve as a reminder for Lord1 to stop dying to TheOnlySlash, it was stolen, and Lord1 has continued to die.
Spawn is the most heavily devastated and explored region of the server, with the destruction only growing as one approaches 0,0. These diamonds were found less than 5 blocks from Spawn unmined, a rare occurrence on a 9 year old server.
During the First Siege, allies were hard to come by for members of the group. One indirect ally, who wished to remain publicly neutral, was the SFR MAFIA, who provided the Siege members with golden carrots in secret.
For a brief period in Spring 2020, ostrich1414 brought his girlfriend (then named miss_ostrich1414) to the server to play with him. They primarily explored bases together, so her spawnpoint was temporarily set at Estevez in this bed. Unfortunately, miss_ostrich1414's time on SimPvP would be cut short; she soon lost interest in the game, and the two eventually broke up because she's a fucking cunt.
These shears were used to groom the sheep worshiped at Syracusai before it was blown up. The destruction of Syracusai marked the effective end of the Fellowship of the Kittens.
The Dominion was a major participant in the Intervention War, with TheOnlySlash leading them to several victories. This bow was used by TheOnlySlash in various battles of the war.
When TIGOOHNTATOT was founded by TheOnlySlash and Korijenkins as an extension of North Koria, few expected the base would become anything impressive. The financial district was particularly ugly, and was destroyed in a terrorist attack. This is the lone surviving block remaining from the terrorist attack on one of the two towers. When the Mia Khalifa and Wiz Khalifa collapsed, TIGOOHNTATOT was doomed, and the base was abandoned, proving the naysayers right.
This banner representing the Church of Francis came from the victory party held at Virunum. The Church of Francis was defeated and humiliated.
This banner representing the Order of Wilbur came from the victory party held at Virunum. The Order of Wilbur won the Holy Wilbur-Francis War and humiliated the Church.
First Floor Exhibits Gallery
Eden is widely known as one of the first bases constructed on the server after the first and only map reset. Because of how well-known the base became, it became a frequent target of griefers as well as a location many players made a pilgrimage to. 9 years of griefing have left the base in absolute shambles. This section of roof is all that remains of the original Eden docks.
One of the most iconic megacities of 2019, Yittrium was a base that asserted itself through sheer size, wealth, and imperial power. Of course, Yittrium was not without its drama, both within the city and outside; the above exhibit is a memorial commemorating the Passione Street Bombing, a terrorist attack committed by AntHand in the suburbs neighborhood of Yittrium. As such, this memorial stands as an icon to Yittrium's checkered past.
North Koria was founded in early 2019 by Korijenkins. While not a particularly large base, it was located in a fantastic area for potential expansion. This was cut short when ostrich1414 destroyed the base in retaliation for the griefing of Struthio. The banner hanging is one of the original North Korian banners that survived the grief of the base. The lamp post is one of two that illuminated the area just outside the entrance of North Koria's tower.
A spur-of-the-moment spawn landmark, Craftablia was founded in November 2019 and primarily consists of one building material: crafting tables. Although originally started as a solo project for ostrich1414, Craftablia soon drew the interest of many more players, resulting in the collaborative creation of a massive crafting table-laden biome. Most crafting tables were donated by SFR and Sengorn_Leopard, as the one shown in this exhibit.
