Shitstania is a spawn base founded by IAmTheSheriff in Summer 2019. It is unique from other bases by directly clinging to spawn, with access to an indestructible bed, ender chest, and many more useful things. After a series of griefs and a prolonged absence by Sheriff, the project was abandoned for a long period of time. In September 2021, IAmTheSheriff revived the base.

Founding

In the summer of 2019, IAmTheSheriff was moving his home at the McCapital. Upon his next death, however, he found that he had forgotten to reset his spawn, and was sent to 0,0. His spirit broken, Sheriff refused to leave spawn. He toiled aimlessly at the spawn parkour, while thinking about what he wanted to do next. As if it were a sign, Sheriff knew his calling as soon as he finished the course. At the end was a small house on a floating island, with some appliances and a bed. More importantly, there was a 2x1 hole in this specific area of the glass case surrounding spawn. This would allow him to move between this indestructible 'starter base", and his new city. However, he knew that a base directly next to spawn would never last long. He considered it akin to shitposting, the use of intentionally low-quality humor. By Ostrich1414's suggestion, this idea was integrated into the new name "Shitstania".

Evolution

Sheriff first began on the base by venturing into spawn to find saplings. Once he found enough, he returned to his plot with enough stone pickaxes to dig a sizeable hole into the lavacast surrounding the hole. While he began excavation to expose the entire area to sunlight, he eventually started a tunnel which headed deeper, as well. In this time, Sheriff equated building at Shitstania to building at a skyblock world, focusing on renewable blocks like cobblestone and wood. However, soon after the plans began coming together, disaster struck.

Griefing Period

Many griefers would come to Shitstania to destroy its farms and other structures. Sheriff never kept track of who griefed what, however, so only guesses can be made by various calling cards. IPyxis, Antzakes1, and The Fellowship all left a sign or other calling card at Shitstania, although not all of them may have griefed it.

Return and Reconstruction

After quitting for several months, Sheriff returned to SimPVP in mid-December. He found Shitstania in ruin again, but he had his inventory and e-chest items to work off of. This rejuvenation era was very successful, despite many attempts for it to be griefed. It has various farms, along with a Church of Melon (formerly the church of Francis, a build by Lord1. Sheriff changed it in order to align with his Wilburian faith), a cobble generator, and a large glass-floored room overlooking a deep tunnel left by a previous TNT-duped grief.

The Sigil Conflict

After the destruction of Sigil, many members fled to Shitstania for temporary refuge. On January 17, 2020, Lord1 griefed Shitstania following his trial that found him guilty for The Sigil Conflict. Thankfully, Greg, Shitstania's mascot Iron Golem, survived. Repairs were made, but were later proven worthless by an effort to "improve" spawn.

Complete Destruction and Legacy

Following AntHand and Lord1's waterlogging of spawn (Operation Moist Boiz II), it was effectively impossible to continue the Shitstania project. Thus, the idea fell into dormancy while Sheriff worked at Takyon and later Exultia. In the first Simpvp Summit, it was suggested that a rapture-like underwater city (dubbed Shitlantis) be constructed. Additionally, Sheriff represented the event as Shitstania's sole representative and built a booth regarding the base's history. Despite positive reception at the time, the Shitlantis idea fell through. This, along with a period of absence from Sheriff, ended the Shitstania project for a long period of time.

New Shitstania

In September 2021, Sheriff returned to SimPVP. Thanks to The Dominion and their lava casting of spawn (Operation Dry Boiz), Shitstania could be constructed once again, now under the name New Shitstania. Since the glass spawn walls and ceiling were removed, access to the indestructible spawn island is less available but still possible. As of writing, progress is underway.
