Quinsigamond is a city founded by ostrich1414 in January of 2017. Located on a Mushroom Island, Quinsigamond uses the Imperial Architecture style of building created by Pippenger and also stands as an ode to him and his contributions to the server, as well as the many other regular players who have greatly influenced SimPvP throughout its history.
History
Early Beginnings
When ostrich1414 rejoined the server in January of 2017, he was determined to begin his own city that would stand as a living memorial to Pippenger and his cities, as well as ostrich1414's other close allies who have assisted him throughout his time on SimPvP.
After finding an uninhabited Mushroom Island biome, he invited his fellow teammate Z33VN to join him and the two began to build the city. Along with frequent help from close ally JavelinFury, Quinsigamond grew rapidly as the city flourished, making it its mission to preserve the long history of SimPvP.
Mooshroom Massacre
On March 15th, 2017, an executive order known as the "Mooshroom Relocation Order" was officially signed and released by ostrich1414, calling for the mass extermination of Quinsigamond's mooshroom population. Due to their interference with construction and their overpopulation of the island, ostrich1414 felt it necessary to fully eradicate their freedoms in the city.
On March 20th, 2017, the aptly-named "Mooshroom Massacre" was put into full effect: led by ostrich1414, JavelinFury, and suit1337, every freely-roaming mooshroom in Quinsigamond was mercilessly slaughtered, and the remaining specimens were forced into concentration camps, permanently losing their rights and freedoms. Estimates put the total death count at around 52 mooshrooms, with JavelinFury responsible for more than half of their deaths.
Quinsigamond's Peak
During its peak building months, the city expanded drastically as Quinsigamond grew bigger each and every day. On March 12th, Z33VN left the server, leaving Quinsigamond behind with him. As JavelinFury and ostrich1414 continued construction, player Elystriana was eventually recruited and contributed some of her work to the ever-increasing city.
The city eventually grew outside its borders as an offshore village was established within an old base for storage and other industrial uses; other islands in the area were under much investigation as potential build sites. In short, the city of Quinsigamond prevailed and underwent a period of mass construction as larger, more architecturally pleasing buildings came into full bloom. Despite its initial conception as a small memorial town, Quinsigamond was quickly becoming a more prominent force in the SimPvP world.
Influences
Quinsigamond is a city influenced by Pippenger and his many builds, including Ascaris, New Caladan and Stonetown. As ostrich1414 was very close with him, Quinsigamond stands as a memorial to these similar cities and what may be the last new addition to Pippenger's legacy on the server.
The city also features a variety of other honors and dedications stood to memorialize the names of players who have been playing on SimPvP for years, helping to grow the server and spread their influence throughout it. Longtime regulars will be memorialized in Quinsigamond to preserve the honor of their hard work and the many hours of time they have spent working to keep the server flourishing.
