Aermyne

Aermyne (also logged in under the IGN Aermynes) is an OG TVE player, being part of the first wave of players to join the server in March of 2020. He is most well known for creating the group Matrix with his friend turret001 as a player, and most importantly for inheriting the server from second admin sleepylessons and becoming the owner and main admin of the server from September 2021 to December 2022 along with turret001, until the pair gave away the ownership to NaiHaz. 
He is the longest-lasting admin of TVE conjointly with turret, lasting 15 months as co-owners of the server, and stayed a very popular and important figure throughout the entire server's history due to his involvement in all 3 years of the server's existence. 
===Aermyne as a player (2020-2021)===
Aermyne joined the server in March 2020 with a group of IRL friends, with whom he created the group Matrix in which he spent most of his time on the server. As the group became inactive and as many members quit the server, he stayed only sporadically, joining less and less until the start of 2021 when he left. He later came back in the summer of 2021 when admin sleepylessons announced he was stepping down from the server, and stepped up as a potential new admin ; in the meantime, he became interested in playing the server again, spending most of his time exploring and contributing to server events like the First spawn party in July 2021.
===Ownership of TVE (September 2021-December 2022)===
On June 27th, 2021, admin sleepylessons announced his departure from TVE due to threatening IRL messages and doxxing by NetherAnarchy players that made him want to step down from server ownership. Sleepy asked on the community Discord server if any player was willing to step up as the new owner of the server. After a few weeks where he tried to get another anarchy server owner to manage TVE, Sleepy gave the admin powers to Aermyne on July 12th, 2021, which offered to step up as the new TVE admin with his friend and former Matrix companion turret001. After a two-month downtime period due to sleepylessons taking a long vacation away from the server, TVE updated to 1.17.1 and Aermyne and Turret became the third admins of TVE in September 2021. 
==== Behavior as admins and anticheat changes ====
As admins, Aermyne and Turret reverted some anticheat measures that sleepylessons had implemented, but mostly stayed away from the server to go back to the "traditional" more hands-free ownership of the server like in the penguin4215 era. They would also often intentionally leave in exploits and cheats if people discovered any, which would create engagement on the server due to exploit methods being possible, which also often made for worse TPS and, consequently, frequent server crashes at times. 
One of the most drastic anticheat measures the pair took happened in February 2022 after a certain hack was discovered and abused to crash TVE multiple times in the same day. This hack abused packets to fly and/or to load chunks ; a certain player used a teleportation exploit that would telport them to the world border, crashing TVE in the process and lagging the server for days as they loaded chunks towards the world border. 
To counter this exploit, Aermyne implemented a strict set of flight-related anticheats measures that lasted around a month, before relaxing the anticheat to a simpler version that simply implemented packet limits. A week after that limitation, the TP Exploit discovered secretly by NaiHaz in January 2022 was discovered by the Cat Guardians in March 2022, and shared with their Spawn Nomads associates that further developed it ; however, since the exploit was not really resource-intensive, it was not patched and people continued to use it until the server updated to 1.19 in December 2022, which patched the exploit. 
Both Turret and Aermyne were mostly away from their admin positions during their time managing the server, as the pair would spend their time in survival playing as normal players without giving themselves any admin advantage. Their in-game role mostly consisted of fixing TVE when it crashed or broke, and both mostly worked in implementing many improvements outside of the game itself such as helping the more professional (now defunct) Wiki project and adding voting sites to better reference the server. Due to their friendly nature, their activity as normal players and their presence in the TVE Discord server, Aermyne and Turret are considered to have been the best admins in TVE history with penguin4215.
Unfortunately, the cost of the server payment took a toll on the duo's personal balances, and the lack of new players as well as the lack of donations caused both owners to relinquish ownership of the server in December of 2022 due to it being too expensive to upkeep, giving up the server's ownership to NaiHaz which became the fourth and final admin of TVE until the server's end on April 30th, 2023.
