The Order of Wilbur is a very secretive cult on SimPvP; little is known about this organization and even less has been revealed to the public. Its current and former members are unknown and its motives and objectives are unknown as well, though much is up to speculation. However, what little is known to the SimPvP public is generally regarded as bizarre and disturbing.

History

July 29th, 2014

On July 29th, 2014 in the small community of Stonetown, player ostrich1414 was on a mission to receive every achievement that Minecraft offered. As the achievements began to get more difficult, one of them stood out from the rest: "When Pigs Fly". To get this achievement, a player must ride atop a pig using a saddle and fly him off of a cliff, potentially killing both entities in the process. Thus, ostrich1414 went to pursue this goal as he searched the town for a seemingly harmless, innocent pig to use for his own desires.

The pig that ostrich1414 eventually found was named Wilbur: a pig who would soon become iconic. After mounting Wilbur and climbing up to the top of Stonetown's infamous Tree Dome, ostrich1414 pushed Wilbur forward and the two plummeted to their deaths, both dying upon impact.

This death sparked server-wide controversy as players condemned ostrich1414 and his brutal actions which had resulted in Wilbur's murder. Almost immediately after the atrocity occurred, a memorial for Wilbur was constructed in both /world and in his hometown, Stonetown. A national mourning for his death was ordered and the date has since become that of legend.

Birth of a Cult

Not much is known about the creation and actions of the cult, but some say that just days after the event on July 29th, a secret organization was founded. The Order of Wilbur, as it is known today, was founded in Stonetown, the place of Wilbur's birth and death: the cult is also headquartered here. Some of the rituals performed by the Order of Wilbur have been described as "satanic" and "disturbing", and the few who have visited one of its sanctuaries have been psychologically scarred due to its intensity. In the Order of Wilbur, Wilbur's death is viewed as a massive tragedy, and Wilbur is portrayed and worshipped as a god. The sanctuaries that house these practices and rituals have also been described as appearing like the Nether. Currently, there are two sanctuaries, with one in the city of Quinsigamond and the main one in Stonetown.

Other Information

"The Life of Wilbur" was a book written by ostrich1414 in 2014, not long after Wilbur's death. It is a biographical account of Wilbur's life, leading up to the tragedy on July 29th, and it has since become sacred to the Order of Wilbur. Much like the Bible or the Qur'an, "The Life of Wilbur" is a very important and spiritual book for the cult.

Little is known about the membership of the Order of Wilbur, and there is no known list of members; it is also unknown how one becomes involved with the cult, but an "initiation" seems to be in effect so as to choose its members wisely. It is known that membership is limited and highly regulated, and not just anybody can join.

The Order of Wilbur has no alliances or affiliations with any other clans or organizations on SimPvP: it is its own separate, secret organization that only seems to trust those who fully, faithfully believe in Wilbur's spirit.
