Neo MAC

Neo MAC was a base that was founded by Elioty2 after the grief of MAC Town (Mesa Aether City) and was inhabited by the Aristher Community.
This base, even if it was located very close to spawn (X 8340, Z 8560), lasted 5 whole months on the server barely touched, from August 9th, 2020 to January 9th 2020, being one of the longest-living active bases ever documented on the server.
= History =
== Founding and first days (August 9th - August 26th) ==
On August 7th, after the grief of Mesa Aether City, also known as MAC Town, by FurryLaura08, Elioty2 sailed with the few items he had in direction of a new base location (the items contained a daisy took in a forest during the travels , afterwards known by Elioty2 as The Sacred Daisy, and the bell from the Pueblo at MAC which was located in Elioty2's House with the daisy).
On August 9th, he arrived at the Neo MAC jungle and started construction of his house and his territory (farms and such). The house he planned as temporary was finished on August 15th and ended up being his permanent house. On August 13th, he also started to plan out the hole for the Neo Tower, which was supposed to be the main center for his base. Not much happened in this period of time, as Elioty just explored and gathered resources, while still being in Vanilla at that time.
The following builds were constructed :
* Elioty2's House
* Neo Tower Hole (finished on December 18th)
* Elioty2's FarmsAether Industries (Redstone facility, unfinished) 
== Lyohs and Aristher (August 26th - September 25th) ==
On August 26th, Elioty's IRL friend Lyohs wanted a good server to play on and Elioty recommended TVE. He joined that same night and the two traveled back to Neo MAC, where Lyohs started to build his house, which he finished on August 29th. On that day, Elioty and Lyohs discussed of a name for their alliance and they chose Aristher, as a mix of Aether (Elioty2's ideology and continuity on TVE) and Aristocrate (Lyohs' clan name). They also chose that name in rememberance of their old island base on a now closed SMP, Aristher Islands. Not much happened, as Elioty tried to found many secondary residences for the Aether Bases. 
Lyohs did play, but he never really left Neo MAC as he likes the SMP aspect of the server more.
On September 21st, the two of them found their bases robbed and Lyohs' base griefed. At Elioty2's house, there was a sign saying he was robbed by "A friendly burglar" and his friend. Though they only seemed to want to rob Elioty2's House, they had still killed much of the animals and griefed Lyohs' house, as well as robbing. Lyohs rebuilt his house on September 25th.
The following builds were constructed :
* Lyohs' House
* Lyohs's House (reconstructed)
* Cleric Crib (a small cobble box in which the first cured villager was. He was a cleric)
* Highway to Spawn (a road in the nether straight to 0,0)
== Activity Crescendo and Elioty's Conflicts (September 25th - November 11th) ==
During this period, Elioty2 and Lyohs installed XRay and Flight clients. Because of this, Elioty could check more on the Aether Bases and bring more attention to them, and both of them could grind for equipment more. That caused them to build a whole lot more at NM and at the Aether Bases and to travel faster (mostly for Elioty2). 
In the middle of October, Lyohs kinda quit Minecraft because of boredom, after finishing the expansion of his house. That caused Elioty2 to be kinda bored of Neo MAC and go more and more at spawn. He was often found dying around spawn and interacting a lot with the spawn regulars, causing him to form neutral relations with a lot of the active community at the time, even if a lot of his close-to-spawn Aether Bases were griefed. 
At this time, Elioty was more concerned about some other conflicts (which will not be detailed here because they do not have proximity to Neo MAC.) After those conflicts, villagers were brought at Neo MAC, other builds were constructed, and the activity at Neo MAC was still booming without Lyohs. This activity peak at Neo MAC suddenly dropped when Elioty had to send his PC for repair of November 11th, 2020.
The following builds were constructed :
* Lyohs' house expansion
* Neo MAC Map / History / Noticeboard room
* Bed Highway (destructed on January 6th)
* Jungle Road (Road from Elioty's House to the Neo Tower)
* Stone Road (Road from Lyohs' House to the Neo Tower)
* Crafting Tables Island (built a first time on MAC out of found crafting tables, made at every main base of Elioty's since)
* Temp Grinder (destroyed on October 30th)
* Trading Hall
* Temp Reproduction Chamber (destroyed on December 7th)
== Pause from Aristher (November 11th - December 4th) ==
This period is bland of any events as both Lyohs and Elioty were off. Elioty did manage to log on a few times, notably on November 18th when his house was robbed. There is not much to document during this period.
== Third Member and Renaissance (December 4th - January 2nd) ==
On December 4th, Elioty directly got back into TVE and due to the active dupe at the time, obtained some items like egaps and netherite. Regeared, he then started to try and test new things in Neo MAC.
On December 7th, a member named Wraivol was found taking items in Elioty's chests when he logged off. He quickly questionned Wraivol, to which he responded that it was his first day and that he struggled a lot to get out of spawn. Elioty then invited him to stay at Neo MAC, and Wraivol accepted the invitation.
He immediately prove himself to be a great builder and to be of great help with projects such as the Neo Tower Hole. Unfortunately, after 3 days of great help and building, he logged off, and is yet to be seen again. He is still considered like a member of Aristher, even if he never met any other member than Elioty2.
During the rest of December, Elioty continued to explore the server and continued to build at Neo MAC, with some side projects aside. On December 18th, the Neo Tower Hole was finally completed and the Tower Construction started. On December 28th, Lyohs came back to TVE and Minecraft and immediately started to build again, starting with the PeePeePooPoo Temple , another tribute to their old SMP island.
The following builds were constructed :
* New Villager Grinder
* Wraivol's Tent
* Wraivol's Road (Continuation of the Jungle Road)
* Furnace WTC
* Neo Tower (never finished)
* PeePeePooPoo Temple
== The Final Days of Neo MAC (January 2nd - January 9th) ==
=== Assassin Duo (January 2nd - January 7th) ===
On January 2nd, Elioty helped a man get out of spawn, a man who would be the catalyst of a new era in Aristher : DerpyTime. He then asked if he could live with Elioty, and Elioty accepted and brought him to Neo MAC. Being an Assasin's Creed fan, he asked if he could bring a new concept in Neo MAC : The Assassins, a crew made to defend Neo MAC (that idea would eventually start DerpyTime's Brotherhood). Elioty, while being sceptic, accepted and DerpyTime became a citizen of Neo MAC. 
On January 3rd, DerpyTime met Lyohs and introduced himself to him, and then built his cart where he planned to sell things (he never sold anything) and his Ruined House, where the basement was his real base , featuring his piglin Hubert. 
Elioty didn't log on on the 4th and 5th, but on the 6th, he found an invitation from DerpyTime saying he wanted to invite his IRL friend FierceGaming139. Elioty found a bunch of new builds : Lyohs' pet park, Fierce's underwater Base, an unpurposed creation by DerpyTime and the Assassin's Room with one of the three Unwritten Books Of Neo MAC, The Creed, stating the reglementations of Neo MAC. DerpyTime and Elioty then started to write the constitution next to the Neo Tower Hole, on a newly constructed billboard to expose news, flags and the Aristher Constitution. The unfinished constitution went like this:
"The Neo Mesa Aether City Constitution and Rules :
# You shall not grief or destroy one's building.
# You shall NOT, under ANY circumstance, leak the coordinates.
# If you wish to invite someone, tell the officials prior to doing so (the officials being Elioty, Lyohs and Derpy, them being the more active members)
# You shall respect members and they shall respect you too
# No writing in other people's books without permission
# If any pet is killed, the killer shall be also killed"
The constitution was never completed or written properly, as the following events properly disturbed Neo MAC, forever. Beforehand, before logging off, Elioty and DerpyTime came to rescue FierceGaming139 from spawn, under the eye of warmmittens.
=== The 3 Final Days (January 7th - January 9th) ===
==== January 7th - Day of Exposure ====
On the 7th, Elioty came back to Neo MAC, finding it entirely disturbed and populated with a lot of people he never saw at Neo MAC. The new players were :
* Cyrobalt
* warmmittens, who was apparently the one who found the base, following Fierce with tracers, and who invited a lot of the players here
* Bennooo, who owned the 10k 10k Outpost, in which Elioty2 made the grinder made in August, before Bennooo even joined TVE.
* necrophiliacben
* LeviTheMator
* FemboiFazz, who then became an Aristher Member 
* XB0XS0CCER, who was invited as a new player that night and then never came back.
* "gima", a player Warmmittens mentionned, but he never showed up.
Elioty was very surprised, and pissed, because he told Derpy and Fierce to not get followed home, as he feared a grief with the recent Neo MAC activity. Warm and Cyro had a more laxist view on the situation, Warm saying that "builds deserved to be showcased" and cyro saying that "everything ends eventually" Lyohs and Derpy not being online, Fierce said to Elioty that they needed to move, and Elioty said that until the place was a crater, he would not leave, while secretely stealing objects left and right to hide them in a keptsecret reserve at the Mending MAC Village ravine. This caused minor conflict between players, such as Fierce and Femboy, because of items disappearing left and right and Elioty saying nothing.
==== January 8th - Day Of Hopefulness ====
On this day, Elioty continued o move resources, while still doing things with Fierce and Femboy at base, like helping them gather resources and build things. Derpy and Lyohs were informed of the state of Neo MAC ; Derpy followed Fierce's idea of moving, while Lyohs stated to Elioty that the base wasn't really griefed, and that everyone could still live here if there was a good togetherness. They then constructed the first floor of the Neo Tower, after planning in another one of the three Unwritten Books Of Neo MAC, Neo Mac Headquarters, in which Lyohs wrote the plan '(in french) for him and Elioty to build the tower. They had hopes of building a community plaza and to have a presidential election for the control of Neo MAC, seeing the expanding number of citizens.
==== January 9th - The Final Day of MAC ====
Elioty logged on that day, finding the base about 60% raided, and mildly griefed. In his house, which had blocks removed from it, there was a sign said "_Retinazer was here" , _Retinazer being the old username of obyx from the Lava Wall Project, having rancune for Elioty, though it was revealed afterwards he did that to make Elioty panic, and did not grief Neo MAC. Some builds were griefed heavier than others, like Lyohs' house or Aether Industries, and some stayed intact like FemboiFazz's temple and the Furnace WTC. The group decided then to move to Elioty's reserve he revealed and invite a limited amount of persons. Only Elioty, Lyohs, Derpy, Fierce, Femboi, Bennooo and necrophiliacben were allowed to stay at the Temporary Mending MAC Village Base. Thus, as they left, Elioty proclaimed the death of Neo MAC, 5 months after its creation.
The following builds were constructed :
* DerpyTime's cart
* DerpyTime's House
* The Assassin's Hideout
* Unknown Cobble Creation
* Cyrobalt's House
* warmmittens' Target Stand
* warmmittens' Treehouse
* Fierce's Treehouse
* Fierce's Underwater Base
* Levi's Treehouse
* FemboiFazz's Temple
* FemboiFazz's Garden
* Neo Tower
* Lyohs' pet park
* Constitution Billboard
* Main Place
The following builds were partially or entirely griefed :
* Elioty2's House
* Elioty2's Farms
* Neo Tower
* Neo Tower Hole
* Aether Industries
* Lyohs' House with the expansion
* Lyohs' Pet Park
* Neo MAC Map / History / Noticeboard room
* Trading Hall
* Jungle Road
* Wraivol's Tent
* Wraivol's Road
* Fierce's Treehouse
* Fierce's Underwater Base
* Levi's Treehouse
* FemboiFazz's Garden
* Constitution Billboard
* Main Place
== Aftermath and Salvation Base ==
After the grief, warmmittens and necrophiliacben tried to make of what was left of Neo MAC a shelter for new players, though Elioty, as well as DerpyTime, were opposed to this idea and the idea never really went anywhere.
It is also the place where DerpyTime, obyx and Elioty2 logtrapped a new player (Methos40000) who had stolen all of Elioty's shulkers while they were moving to the new base, causing obyx and Elioty2 to reconciliate and be on good terms.
Sometimes, Elioty stills pops by the base to check if there's anything new, but the base is now pretty much abandoned.
