History of Void City
2020
Void City's official birth is marked as October 3, 2020 when the location that would become the base was first reached by Korijenkins. A portal link was set up, connecting the base to a supply area, and gradually supplies were migrated to the location over the next few weeks. Construction of the base officially began on October 30th, when the first building in the residential district was started, along with the end gateway and the first iteration of the city's roads.
clipchip also began building his first of two massive 2D girls, making these the first two builds at the base, aside from the gateway. After these were finished, Korijenkins began work on the Pippenger National History Museum, a project which remains in progress due to the enormity of the scope as well as his own laziness.
For most of 2020 progress was very slow, as few members were inspired to do much building.
2021
While the initial member count only included clipchip, ostrich1414, TheOnlySlash, and Korijenkins, it soon grew to include dariepearjuicy, JavelinFury, MisterStrawman, and cmlove.
The addition of these new members prompted the beginning of the embassy island. As the base was intended to be wholly neutral and uninvolved in Sim politics, it made sense to have the groups represented build embassies rather than claim the base for themselves. North Koria's embassy was finished first, followed by The Conspiracy's, before the embassy island sat quiet for nearly 6 months. The third embassy wasn't added until September of 2021, when DakkaDok joined the base as a representative of Nos Aeterna.
Building soon slowed to a crawl, as nearly all of The Conspiracy members at the base became inactive, HedgehogMind and TheOnlySlash became inactive, and ostrich1414 lost motivation to build due to the stresses of being an admin. This essentially left Korijenkins and clipchip as the only active members contributing to the base, and soon even clipchip refused to play Sim in protest of the AntHand situation during the Imperial War. Thus, Korijenkins spent several months expanding the base on his own until even he grew burned out from building.
As a result, building progress stalled completely, with nearly nothing being added to the base aside from the expansion of the ghetto and road network. By mid 2021 though, it began to pick up once more, with clipchip beginning to return, ostrich1414 quitting his role as admin, and TheOnlySlash growing tired of playing on other anarchy servers and returning to Sim in a greater capacity.
In 2021 the Pippenger National History Museum reached a point where it was considered completed enough to be added to the events map as an event, which had always been the intended purpose of it. After much inactivity in developing the base's farms, Kori finally built a cactus farm, resulting in him becoming a server admin. Not long after a gunpowder and tree farm followed, the latter of which was build by clipchip.
