Alpakashakatak is a desert city project centering on a large rainbow ziggurat which houses the mystical llama, Alpakashakatak. It was begun by Burger_Malone in mid-2021, and abandoned indefinitely following their prolonged hiatus.

Access to the base, as well as records of the coordinates, were briefly lost, until Burger_Malone found it with the help of James8B and Laztec, along with holistic methods.

Alpakashakatak, the myth

Alpakashatak is a llama who performed multiple, verified miracles on SimPVP during 2020.

Defusing the TNT

Ignorant of Alpakashakatak's true nature, Burger_Malone and schfv surrounded a random llama with TNT. The TNT was lit, primed, but there was no explosion, and the llama simply walked away completely unharmed.

Magical Explosion

Shortly after their first miracle, about 20 blocks away, there was an explosion. This occurred without TNT or a creeper, while the server was verifiably on 19.3 TPS - it was presumably caused telekinetically by Alpakashaktak. This was reason enough for the two new converts to bring the llama to Shakatak, where they would be safely housed.

Healing the Burnt Man

Soon after Alpakashaktak's arrival, nearby base resident Haggiszu was set on fire by some decorative lava. Alpakashatak spat on the man, instantly extinguishing him. Although initially skeptical of the llama's power, this experience immediately converted him.

Producing a Mate

Secure in their temporary safehouse, Alpakashakatak grew lonely and desired companionship. Outside of the house, Burger_Malone discovered a singular wandering trader's llama. No wandering trader, no second llama. A clear miracle, the llama was presented to bear Alpakashakatak's offspring.

Late life

All of the above miraculous works genuinely occurred (unironically). The intention of the records of Alpakashaktak's deeds is not to attain power or influence as past "religious" clans have sought, but simply to spread the word of a very special llama.

Today, Alpakashakatak, the myth, resides in Alpakashakatak, the city, ready to be by found again.

Alpakashakatak, the city

Overcome with religious fervour, Burger_Malone set about to build a temple and a city befitting such a powerful llama. With the help of Tenced, much land and an entire mountain was cleared to make way for Alpakashakatak's ziggurat, to be surrounded by opulent, sprawling desert buildings. The buildings are done entirely solo by Burger_Malone, with limited plagiarism.
