Aristher Community

WIP !!!!! Do not delete, I'll finish it later dwdw -Elioty
The Aristher Community, also known as Aristher, was a de-facto group and togetherness of players created by IRL friends Elioty2 and Lyohs on August 26th, 2020 as a way to continue the tradition of them playing together on different Minecraft servers under an official name. The group stayed very unknown and secretive before January 2nd, 2022, where players Mintraft and FierceGaming139 joined the Neo MAC base and accidentally leaked the base's coordinates a week later, prompting the group to relocate and build an actual commune and brotherhood together. 
Active mostly at the Neo MAC and Aristher City bases, the group's relatively peaceful but short-lived, chaotic story is intertwined with the paths of many other groups in the server like Gulag Gang, Oasis or The Brotherhood. After Aristher City got griefed on February 23rd, 2021, both Lyohs and Elioty2 went on to run their own solo errands, marking the end of the togetherness.
== Quiet Beginnings (July 25th - December 7th) ==
Elioty2 joined the server on July 25th, 2020. After spending his first few days in 800 Village, he went on to 5k5k to build his second base, which would be named Mesa Aether City (or MAC Town), due to its location right in a mesa biome. The "Aether" part of the name is just yet another iteration of Elioty's Aether project, that represented the global ensemble of what Elioty would be doing on any Minecraft server - not just TVE.
On August 9th, Elioty found MAC Town completely griefed, and decided to set sail towards the nearest jungle biome to create another base, eventually landing at 8340, 8560 and founding Neo MAC in the jungle, living away from the rest of the server for a few weeks while creating his house and other essential buildings. On August 26th, Elioty's IRL friend Lyohs expressed interest in joining the server, and Elioty invited him to join the base, the two re-creating the Aristher group they had created on another SMP months before in the process, which is a blend between Aether (Elioty's proposed group name) and Aristocrates (Lyohs' proposed group name).
The two had different playstyles : while Lyohs would focus on being at the base, grinding for better stuff and staying home to construct more and more builds, Elioty would rather explore the server and interact with the community around spawn, causing for his projects at the base (like the Neo Tower, which stayed forever unfinished) to being relegated to work-in-progresses. During this time, the base and the group stayed very unknown, as the pair only suffered minor, anonymous griefs from time to time that never affected them thoroughly.
In October, the two friends - which had been playing in vanilla until this point - downloaded XRay and flight hacks, which allowed them to be much more active at the base, and which allowed Elioty to do many frequent travels to and from spawn, which made for the development of many secondary Aether Bases but also began Elioty's involvment with the server's groups and politics, when he joined and then promptly betrayed obyx's Lavawall Project. 
Gradually, Lyohs would log on less and less, and hardware issues on Elioty's side kept him from logging on to the server for about a month, until he joined back on December 4th, 2020 and continued being the sole active member of Aristher, Lyohs having been inactive for about a month by this point.
== New members, Assassins and fall of Neo MAC (December 7th - January 9th) ==
On December 7th, 2020, Elioty logged in and found a new player called Wraivol taking stuff from his chests : after questioning him, Wraivol explained that it was his first day on the server and that he struggled with escaping spawn, to which Elioty offered him to join the base, making him the third Aristher member in the process
== Being on the run and the founding of Aristher City (January 9th - January 15th) ==
== Aristher City, The Brotherhood and end of the group (January 15th - February 23rd) ==
== Aftermath and legacy ==
After the grief of Aristher City, Mintraft and Fierce stayed together under the Brotherhood moniker and asked Elioty2 if he wanted to join their newest base, to which Elioty declined due to tiredness with Mintraft's provocateur antics and due to the dream of constructing the Aether Museum, a project he had had for months. He then took a quick break from the server and returned in March of 2021, constructing the Beta Aether Museum which would soon be relocated to Aetherburg. 
Lyohs and Fazz both gradually stopped playing - Lyohs was too angry that the base he was the main builder of got griefed for problems that weren't even his, and Fazz' reasons are unknown. Both returned sporadically multiple times in the following years, but never in any real capacity, though Lyohs and Elioty kept in touch and regularly visited each other's solo bases and Fazz went on a quest to rebuild the Mountain of Faith, which was again short-lived.

The group's resources that were left at the base after the grief were split between Lyohs and Elioty, and both stored a bunch of leftover materials in the Aristher Reserve, which would be slowly emptied as the years went by to construct both of their personal bases.
While Aristher City and the 11k11k base have not been touched since their respective griefs, Neo MAC became a popular pilgrimage spot for people : new players would pass by the base as they escaped spawn, old players would pop in from time to time leaving a sign complimenting the nice state of the ruins, and many reconstruction projects were attempted by many players such as warrmmittens, necrophiliacben or even Mintraft himself, all of which Elioty was vehemently opposed to. It stayed an inactive, but often visited place until the end of the server.
