§7we start book 2 continuing with the quoted text from Ursakar
Page 3 of 33 §o...their§0§o castle basically belongs to us. We descend into the §0
§0§o( horribly designed ) vault. The design was so ridiculous that even thought they poured a lot of diamonds into it, all we had to do was break 2 blocks of DRO to get to the chest.
Page 4 of 33 §oAt that point, right when we were ready to declare our ultimate victory, ScentTreeDown gets on mumble, almost crying.
Page 5 of 33 §oHe starts asking what happened and i explain to him that Miner_Bill's been a massive c*** and that we already pearled 3 people and took control of their castle.
Page 6 of 33 §oI finally get them to comply with my demand, releasing Ladiesman_95. After they free him, we start leaving and release the people that we captured. §0§l§oPRUSSIA STRONG!§0"
Page 7 of 33 A short while after this, myself and a few others realised that we weren't really fitting in to the LSIF anymore. I won't go into this in detail as it was fairly private and (§f.§0I hope§f.§0) it's all water under the bridge now.
Page 8 of 33 I started hanging out in Prussia and Mt Augusta with the other people who had left - Babycham, Redpossum and Teajizzle to name a few.
Page 9 of 33 This was also the time of the Gimmick Brigade - one of the first symptoms of the disease the HCF invasion had spread to Civcraft.
Page 10 of 33 Chiapas was spared raiding due to Tea's participation in the GB (§f.§0on the InspectorBellend account§f.§0) but a lot of damage was done both to property and reputations.
Page 11 of 33 Blueavenue by this point had returned after a long while (§f.§0another former LSIF member§f.§0) and told me his vision in mumble of a mutualist city that avoided drama and was comprised of friends. It sounded amazing and we began filling the ocean.
Page 12 of 33 During construction, one of the biggest events in Civcraft history began. Hamster, a HCF player, had volunteered to host backups for ttk2.
Page 13 of 33 He abused this and learnt where everyone's wealth was kept, how to break into the biggest vaults and even spawned in wealth like stacks of diamond blocks.
Page 14 of 33 This led to the reset. An entire world and it's history was destroyed through the actions of one person.
Page 15 of 33 After the reset was announced, the server died. I remember running around now heavily griefed nether roads at what used to be peak time, and seeing only 4–5 other people on the entire server.
Page 16 of 33 One event of personal significance happened at this time as well. Hamster also had access to eveyone's player file - including their IP address.
Page 17 of 33 Fluffy, a HCF player, was in a mumble channel with a lot of people; he started bragging that he knew everyone's IP. I dared him to prove it and he posted a bunch of information about me, including my IP.
Page 18 of 33 He was banned for doxxing, but I believed it was truly an accident and he hadn't meant to release it. After a while he messaged me asking to testify on his behalf in modmail, and I did.
Page 19 of 33 The reset necessitated a long, hard look at everyone's current place on the server. Would people stay together, trying to rebuild lost glories or would they start anew, with new people and a new city?
Page 20 of 33 Blue realised this was the perfect time to construct Carson - we'd never gotten further than a small hole in the ocean on 1.0.
Page 21 of 33 I was part of Carson in it's beginning, but after a few weeks I burnt out yet again. I built myself a tomb and a funeral was hosted.§0

§0I received an obituary from the People's News Today.
Page 22 of 33 I was dead for a while, entirely coincidentally as long as it took to excavate Carson, then I escaped from Hades and returned.
Page 23 of 33 Carson by this point was a well-oiled machine of Botlords and CoolPvP so I travelled to the far +,+ and joined Prussia in their new capital city of Breslau.
Page 24 of 33 I've been here ever since, going through cycles of inactivity in this quiet but beautiful city.
Page 25 of 33 I've seen a lot of changes over the years, such as a change in social attitudes - ancaps believed strongly in complete freedom of speech. Slurs that are now a bannable offence were commonplace, as were casual sexism, racism and other bigotry.
Page 26 of 33 There has been a marked decline in political discussion - the subreddit used to be a battleground between capitalism, socialism, anarchism and fascism. Property rights and economic theories were common topics.
Page 27 of 33 We've witnesses the rise of statism and the seeming death of anarchy - 2.0 has seen large city-states with constitutions, large inter-quadrant alliances and established justice systems, rather than the individualist arbitration of the old world.
Page 28 of 33 2.0 has also seen the exodus of the ancaps, once the major power on Civcraft and the now inactivity of the LSIF, the other great anarchist presence on the server.
Page 29 of 33 I would say that currently we have more wealth but less discussion. Prot and even unenchanted diamond armour was once the sole preserver of bounty hunters and the mega-rich.
Page 30 of 33 The server was safe enough that the majority of people walked around naked for most of the time, focusing more on building and debate than fighting over land.
Page 31 of 33 There is greater playerbase diversity at the cost of intimacy on the subreddit - most people had at least passing acquaintance on 1.0 and you would usually know a fair bit about their city as well.
Page 32 of 33 On today's map, the sheer quantity and diversity of towns and players leads to something closer to the actual world, where you only know the people and towns close to you.
Page 33 of 33 Things like Augustan elections, the Dolan cult, ZombieLenin's antics and many more are entirely absent from this shallow, blurred history dredged up from my murky memory.
