Fluz43, now Fluz44, was one of SimplicityPvP's earliest and longest active players.
Fluz43, subsequently Fluz44, and now __Z7 ("Z7"), is one of SimplicityPvP's earliest players and forum members.
I played SimplicityPvP from 27 July 2011 to 27 December 2020. Also, if you're reading this, you're gay.
He played SimplicityPvP most notably from 27 July 2011 to 27 December 2020. In 2024, he has returned under the username __Z7. Below is a blurb written by them. The blurb continues until a line extending below it.


SimPvP to me is an online playground and throughfare for personal creative endavours. I made a video for the server too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRqM26eLU_E
SimplicityPVP has been viewed as an online playground and throughfare for personal creative endeavors.


I believe strongly in the concept of absolute freedom allowed on the server, and it serves to promote SimPvP's distinguishable character. It is a haven for those who seek an unchanged map their own way. What's fun about the server is the reality that everything could be lost, stolen, or secretly watched at any moment. It made me value my experiences on this game more than I would when protected from any fear altogether. I also exercised more critical thinking on this server because of it.
I strongly believe that the absolute freedom allowed on SimplicityPVP endorses its distinguishable character, and the reality that everything could be lost, stolen, or secretly monitored at any moment is what's most fun about the server. The challenge to protect what you own on SimplicityPVP my experiences on Minecraft more exciting than I would feel otherwise. I believe while other servers aim to protect one from any fear altogether, it diminishes this excitement. I also exercise highly critical, tactical, and strategic behaviors on this server because of it.


I associated with a plethora of people ranging in aspects: culturally, creatively, team organizers, those who empower, et cetera, and most importantly those who you can trust. After months of heavy involvement with a young SimPvP community I began to find out what skills were necessary for self advancement, and with time, collaborative advancement. I gained reputation with and began working alongside stronger players, which for lack of better words significantly improved my standing chances of getting to places that mattered. At the time, multiple player settlements were only in their infancy and the power of the collaborative efforts as seen in [[Eden]] were not yet realized. Over years, I realized the capabilities and influence I could exercise among others in order to yeild outcomes of varying magnitude. (My 100% of the brain Shaggy powers) With fine tuning, I came to use it to maintain my ease of an independent lifestlye in the game.  
I associated with a plethora of people ranging in multiple aspects: culturally, creatively, team organizers, those who empower, those who are trustworthy; most importantly, those who you can find a way to enjoy being online with. I am highly active in the server's public chat at times. After months of heavy involvement with a young SimPvP community, I began to discover the skills necessary for self advancement, and with time, successful collaboration. I endured every incidence and handled many interactions, pleasant and unpleasant, and carried them forward as lessons to integrate into future challenges.  


Why I quit:
Within one year, I began working alongside stronger and reputable players, where I gained notoriety and stood out for better or worse. At the time, multiple player settlements were only in their infancy, and the power of the collaborative efforts as seen in [[Eden]] were not yet realized. Over many years, I realized the capabilities and influence I could exercise among others in order to yield outcomes of varying magnitude. In time, I came to use it to maintain my ease of an independent lifestyle in the game, and remaining unaffiliated with any major groups for a long time.  
On 28 December 2020, SimPvP upgraded to 1.16.4, the driving factor for me to quit forever. Before the 1.16.4 upgrade on 28 December 2020 and subsequent takeover by Microsoft and Azure in 2021 (where corporations and governments log user chat data in a classified facility), the server was also free from the possibility of effective 3rd party communications interference, monitoring, and censorship. I don't like being monitored by technology even if guised as "progress."


Hiatus 28 December 2020-28 April 2024:
Beginning in early 2020, rumblings began that Microsoft would begin taking action to migrate every single Minecraft over to a Microsoft account. This indeed became the case, and I did not want to do it. It then became set in stone that Minecraft version 1.16.4 would be the first version where chat monitoring and censorship and user bans could be made by Microsoft (using Minecraft). It's something I was very strongly against. Minecraft released this update in late-2020 and I knew it was only a matter of time until SimplicityPVP would update aswell. Finally, on 28 December 2020, the server indeed upgraded to 1.16.4, and it was announced beforehand that this would be the driving factor for me to quit (supposedly, forever). Microsoft and Azure in 2021 began logging user chat data in a classified American facility, subjecting the server to 3rd party communications interference, monitoring, and censorship. As I don't like being monitored by technology even if guised as "progress," I quit after 9yr, 5mo.


A blemish on my reputation:
Return in 2024:
People say I revealed private information of a player on the server. I did not dox pipp enger**. You are more than welcome to verify that claim with the server owner ([[Yukarion]]). I do fervently dislike him for ruining the demographics and forever changing the course of server history forever. Want me to explain it? Nope. It happened over half a decade ago. I don't play this server anymore.
By 28 April 2024, after 3.333 years absent, I had learned from still-active players that SimplicityPVP now has a means to enable chats without censorship from Microsoft. Additionally, the means by which I obtained __Z7 were satisfactory to my own standards and expectation of privacy.  
I returned for the first time since, but with no plans or specific mission.


**to editor: do not close that gap. I don't want searching his name to bring this page up.
A blemish on my reputation (The "Rule 3" Incident):
I made a forum post one day featuring a player which cast a very negative light on them. I compiled some information they revealed in-chat over time but which did not respect their privacy. Then, I did not fully edit the sign and it included some very derogatory statements regarding another individual (unaffiliated with anything Minecraft related). The nature of the content which I did not remove caused immediate uproar and backlash, and led to an official vote to ban me from the server over it. You are welcome to ask for clarification of the claim with the server owner ([[Yukarion]]), but it is untrue that I ever doxxed the individual. This January 2016 event is about a decade old and my biggest regret on the server. It's not worth discussing at this point. It's something I accept as a stain on my reputation.
