  • A new player named 13Void joined the server and claimed to have discovered an island made of crafting tables after only 2.6 hours online, posting its alleged coords in chat. The base he discovered was Craftablia
    • 13Void was considered highly suspicious and was suspected of being an alt or even a hacker, but since there was no firm evidence of this he was not banned

June 20th:

  • The Second SimPvP Summit occurs, a few months after the first one took place. Originally planned to be held by MrCramYT, the summit was organized by VetoTheNeato and drew several notable players and teams, all constructing booths like the last summit.
    • Unfortunately, this SimPvP Summit would be very short-lived after a massacre occurred between Sellout9 and Cutman against the other attendees. A backup summit was held on SimplicityPvE by Porkington, although this was also short-lived and featured far less attendees.

June 24th:

  • Exultia Quality Goods officially enters a trade war with Melon Boiz Inc.™, showing their contempt for Lord1's actions at Stonetown. With the goal of putting MBI out of business, VetoTheNeato begins offering items for as low as 1/8 the price of MBI under the Exultia Quality Goods brand.

July 12th

July 13th:

  • Ostrich1414 begins work on Inferno, a landmark in the greater spawn region that was affiliated with The Republic and its public works program. Much like Craftablia, Inferno was meant to be another unique, bizarre landmark to be stumbled upon at random.

  • Korijenkins kills ImpulseAge near one of the spawn highways.
  • TheOnlySlash, Korijenkins, and Burger_Malone are all baited to the same coordinates near spawn searching for an underground base.

August 1st:

August 8th:

August 9th:

  • After several high-profile incidents of players using an in-game exploit to glitch Dragon Eggs into existence over the last few days, the ability to do so is subsequently banned by the admins, making it illegal to produce more dragon eggs. This is met with much controversy, as supporters for and against use of the glitch clash.

August 17th:

  • The GS Trading Co. declares war on Brunoland and its affiliates, threatening to destroy the team and its base by any means necessary; the GS Trading Co. is soon joined by The Order of Wilbur, who pledges support. A battle soon takes place in the PvP world between Skuller G, _Goujon_, ostrich1414 vs. AntHand, FlameKnight, and Sellout9, with several bystanders. Brunoland emerges victorious after SkullerG dies and the other two flee.

August 23rd:

  • The Sim Kast Removal Team (SKRT) is founded by several SimPvP players, and led by GS Trading Co., to completely repair spawn and return it to its pre-2019 look.

August 30th:

  • Palau becomes one of the shortest-lived bases on SimPvP, lasting a mere 24 minutes from its settlement to its abandonment. This comes after the Massacre of Palau takes place, in which TheOnlySlash kills Qyburn_ and bed traps Paul358, leaving seventwoworlds and ostrich1414 to flee.
  • Ostrich1414 releases a video about the Sim Kast Removal Team's progress at spawn: [13]

September 2020

Ostrich1414, MoWobbler and ElectricChugg represent the Order of Wilbur while Lord1, xexc and James8B represent the Church of Francis. With ElectricChugg dying, Ostrich1414 withdrawing and Mowobbler deserting, the Church of Francis claims the victory.

September 21st:

  • While creating a new event in the events world, ostrich1414 accidentally sets a command block using "@a"; this teleports every player online at the time into one specific location in the event, which included well over 20 players. Both ostrich1414 and Yukarion had to teleport everyone back to their original locations after.

  • A major battle, called the Battle of Suit's tower, is held at the titular tower between "Everlasting Gobslobbers" (Lord1, ostrich1414, and _Goujon_) versus "Homosexuals" (AntHand, Sellout9, and Cutman).
    • After only a few minutes of the battle beginning, Sellout9, and later AntHand, are both killed by the Everlasting Gobslobbers, forcing Cutman to flee and resulting in their victory. This also becomes one of the shortest officially-staged battles in SimPvP history.

September 30th:

October 2020

October 6th:

  • In retaliation for Azdin's griefing of several historic bases around spawn, a band of SimPvP players team up and grief Azpipia, one of Azdin's longest-lasting spawn builds. Craters are ripped throughout much of the desert as lavacasts are formed on top of it.

  • At Belgium possibly the largest or at least one of the largest water draining project in the server's history is completed, with nearly 750,000 blocks of water being removed.

October 9th:

  • Due to a myriad of internal issues between cavehoe and f8tal_, LordPastaYT leaks three of Men Hyogi-kai's major bases: Mavossa, Calea, and Aeucius. He also officially disbands the team Men Hyogi-kai and sets off to focus on his own projects.
    • Half an hour before the leak, Lord1, on behalf of the Church of Francis, begins to grief Mavossa with TNT bombers due to LordPastaYT being the suspected leaker of Two Words. He is stopped short by several players attempting to save the city, including Antzakes1, Nostrum_Regina, Sellout9, and _Goujon_.

    • While there was no official winner as neither team was necessarily "defeated", YMP managed to acquire the most totem pops and gear degradations on the other team, causing them to declare victory.

October 31st:

November 2020

These tensions were furthered when xexc burned some trees at a fort Gem_Productions was restoring.
    • Dsylxeia (who was in the Discord call as a third party) decided to intervene and secretly go to the fort Gem_Productions was restoring, where he griefed it in retaliation for his treatment towards xexc; this resulted in Gem_Productions deciding to take a break from the server.

November 27th:

December 2020

December 1st:

December 4th:

December 6th:

  • For approximately 14 hours, SimPvP is down due to an unknown issue. After _Goujon_ requested a restart, the server closed down but never reopened, remaining offline between 5:40 A.M. and 7:10 P.M. (EST). This became one of the longest periods of unintentional downtime in recent server hisory.

December 7th:

December 8th:

  • The People's Coalition, a loose collective of several groups (consisting of The Order of Wilbur, GS Trading Co., YeeterMyPeeter, Goldforge Citadel, and The Order of the Wyvern), officially declares war on the Church of Francis and targets two Francillian bases, leaking the coordinates to both.
    • First, the People's Coalition targets Lakeside Lodge, a small COF base built by Aebo. It is relentlessly griefed and mutilated.
    • Second, the People's Coalition targets the Church's Castle, a large temple built by several prominent Church members. The temple is severely griefed and looted.
    • While no battle occurs, over 15+ PC members arrive at both destinations, and a small skirmish occurs in the PvP world where COF member INQ_Nikox is killed.
    • Deez Nuts News releases a news show covering the events: [[17]]

  • After planning a major battle in the PvP world between the Church of Francis and the People's Coalition between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., the Church of Francis fails to show up to battle for the third time in a row.

December 13th:

  • A major battle breaks in front of an alternative end portal to the main End island near spawn, when ostrich1414 is jumped by Lord1, xexc and TomixPlays. Ostrich1414 calls in other People's Coalition troops for help, and the two sides fight a mix of air and land combat for about 15 minutes until members from both sides flee in an inconclusive end.
  • Francillian troopers attack and pop the neutral Burger_Malone, destroying their previously amicable relations and potential for alliance with the Church. This act of aggression cost the Church access to numerous valuable PC bases, which Burger_Malone could have provided as a formal ally.
  • A skirmish breaks out near spawn between the Church of Francis and the People's Coalition.
  • Lord1 fights 5-7 rebels in /world for 30 mins.
    • He then goes to Yittrium and assassinates ReaganKindred. After, he returns and fights ostrich1414 and AntHand for about an hour.

December 14th:

  • The name for the war is coined: "The Imperial War".

  • The Church of Francis severely griefs McCapital, the former headquarters of Shadow Mcmafia.

December 17th:

  • Ostrich1414, with major help from 4Pilot, moves the server's main end portal a few blocks over to centrally align it with the pyramid structure above, since it was incorrectly placed. This is the first time the end portal has been moved in years.
