History
Humble Beginnings
Duff joined SimPVP for the first time on February 12th, 2019 after weeks of being coaxed on by his friends Das_Dankgineer and Hamieb. Hamieb flew out to spawn to guide Duff to his new home on the server, a brilliant new city in the making, Triterrus. It was here that Duff would develop his love of Medieval architecture, group builds, and Minecraft companionship which is something he had never had before.
The Golden Age
Duff's time at Triterrus is definitely what I'd call his "golden age." He first gained recognition during this time for his tiny medieval town Mythruindale after he shared screenshots in the official Discord, and his help in building up Triterrus to the city it used to be. With his help, Triterrus went from a good base, to a great base; When once it only had function, he buckled himself up with his best friend Hamieb and together they brought it style. A truly great base must have both looks and function, not just one or the other.
An Unexpected Hiatus
Shortly after The Commonwealth evacuated and abandoned Triterrus, they began work on their new base, this time much further from spawn known as Atlas. After being declared King of Atlas and being tasked with the building of the city's central mega-build, a 150 block tall statue of the Titan Atlas, Duff set to work but the tedious format of such a large, organic build begin to take its toll on him. With progress at Atlas already slowing and little to no help from the rest of the team on the statue, Duff stopped joining the server for almost 3 months. His absence all but stopped progress at Atlas for good and the entire team grew bored with no clear vision on where to go next.
A New Hope
At the end of the summer going into his Senior year of high school, Hamieb reached out to Duff with an idea. He wanted to gather the core members of Atlas (Hamieb, Das_Dankgineer, Passaconaway, Duffilufagus) and start a new base. Finally, an excuse to come up something fresh and exciting for the team and together, they set out to build the most powerful base SimPvP had ever seen, Byzantium. The city was founded on the idea that all the members could do whatever they wanted and to use teamwork to build their infrastructure up to the highest levels, something Duff is rather fond of as he is the chief architect of the base. Byzantium is still a work in progress but is growing swiftly and with farms going up and buildings getting erected faster than the days turn to nights, it stands to prove their claim true.
The Wrath of Byzantium
With war tensions rising after Byzantium looted Yittrium over one of their past members, TonTheKidRS, betraying them to the Yitt community, Duff was feeling the pressure. After one of his team members renamed their alt to "RIPyitt2020," the former members of Yittrium invaded Triterrus for the second time and severely griefed it, focusing their attacks on Duff's old base of operations Mythruindale and Hamieb's dual towers. Outraged and infuriated by such a deliberate assault on his work and unfinished designs he would never get to see nor complete, Duff announced in the Byzantium Discord that he was "going to blow Yittrium sky-fucking-high" and they could help if they wanted, otherwise he would do it himself. On February 25th 2020, Duff, aided by Das_Dankgineer, launched 20 TNT-Bombers over downtown Yittrium with the intent of crippling it to where it could never be recovered. Unfortunately MoWobbler happened through the city at that exact moment and called in backup via ostrich1414 and Lord1. Together they drove Das into a cave and killed him but lost Duff; he stood over the city grinning like a maniac at the damage he had caused, and while it was extreme, it was just the thing he needed to avenge his precious Mythruindale and the city of Triterrus.

Outside of SimPVP
When not found building on the server, Duff is probably in single-player designing something to build on the server; I'd be lying if I said he spent a healthy amount of time building. He recently has designed a new style of building massive medieval structures, some kind of Mansion-Castle hybrid. An example of this can be found under "Side Projects" below. Duff has gained notability in the SimPVP community for his extravagant builds, even if some don't find themselves completed in a timely fashion. Or at all, really. To see some of his building in action, go check out his YouTube channel linked below.
