Ostrich1414 is a player who joined the server on December 27th, 2013. Though he has been on and off again with regards to his activity online, he has stayed relatively loyal to both the server and his fellow teammates.
Ostrich1414 is also known to be edgy and make vulgar comments in the chat as well as being the server's only black player.
A Legend Arrives
On the cold, snowy day of December 27th, 2013, player ostrich1414 logged onto Simpvp with his friend PlayaSwoop9. Looking for a vanilla server to grief and destroy people's work, the two headed away from the mangled mess of spawn, but didn't get far; they both died various times due to lack of food.
At the time, ostrich1414 and PlayaSwoop9 were noobs and had no idea how to play Minecraft at all; they had both just recently gotten the game for the first time.
However, a miracle would soon arrive: DeflowVesper, an admin, helped lead the two noobs to safety, bringing them to Castle Snowfrog where they indulged in hundreds of melons and built a small, cobblestone cube to live in within the castle's grounds.
PlayaSwoop9 later left the server and never returned, unimpressed by it. However, ostrich1414 took a liking to it and stuck around Castle Snowfrog for a few weeks. Here, he developed a small friendship with snowfrog43 and helped to maintain the castle by farming and simply cleaning it up a bit.
The Boy Pippenger
One day while in Castle Snowfrog, ostrich1414 began a conversation in chat with a player named Pippenger. After talking for a few hours, where he educated ostrich1414 on Minecraft basics, Pippenger invited him to a base he was currently working on, known simply as "The Stomping Ground". Ostrich1414 traveled there and met up with Pippenger, who was working on the base alongside Mr._Hole_Digger.
Pippenger was very kind to ostrich1414, giving him freedom to build whatever he wanted and a limitless supply of tools and materials for his creations. With these, ostrich1414 built a shitty house on the edge of a bay; his first "major" build on the server.
A Joruney of Self
When the Stomping Ground began to dissolve and work was slowed to an abrupt end, Pippenger left to tend to other bases while ostrich1414 decided to set out on his own. He eventually landed on a small island nearby spawn, where he constructed yet another shitty, unfinished cobblestone house. He stayed on this island for a short time, working on his appalling base by himself. The remnants of this base can still be seen today at x=13166 z=1795.
While here, Pippenger asked him yet again to join his newest base: Stonetown. Ostrich1414 was eager to come and help and immediately departed from his island base, heading towards Stonetown.
Stonetown, Wilbur, and His Brief Hiatus
At Stonetown, ostrich1414 was able to grow into a much better player and builder. At this time, around early to mid 2014, ostrich1414 helped in the construction of a small town outside of a massive dome made out of dirt and covered in trees; using Pippenger's Imperial Architecture, ostrich1414 was able to strengthen his building skills and constructed many of the town's buildings.
On August 29th, 2014, ostrich1414 attempted to get the achievement "When Pigs Fly". He was trying to complete many of the existing Minecraft achievements and this seemed like one he could easily do. Grabbing a pig, whom he named "Wilbur", ostrich1414 headed to the top of the tree dome and climbed on top of Wilbur. The two fell to their death and all that remained was Wilbur's saddle and the carrot-on-a-stick. The brutal murder of Wilbur sparked outrage throughout the server, and a memorial was constructed in both Stonetown and in /world by ostrich1414. A secret cult, known as "The Order of Wilbur", was later established, and its headquarters remained in Stonetown. Not much is known about this secretive organization.
When construction in Stonetown began to slow down and its members moved on to other things, ostrich1414 went on a brief hiatus, unsure if he would ever rejoin again.
He's Back! (feat. Hiatus, Part II)
In early 2015, ostrich1414 rejoined Simpvp. Pippenger, ever so kind to him, invited ostrich1414 to his newest base: Aggersel. Ostrich1414 made the long journey there, eager to reunite with his former teammates and begin work on a brand-new base, possibly the biggest one yet. He eventually landed in a small village suburb just outside of the planned city's location; this village was a walled-in area made predominantly out of granite blocks. Here, ostrich1414 stayed as he prepared himself for the next big build.
