Historio

Historio is the mysterious, unintriguing founder and pervious owner of Townscraft. Despite this he has contributed remarkably little to the actual server besides founding it, setting up the staff infrastructure, and making a few builds here and there. He has played Minecraft since 2012 and has been a certified SMP addict since 2017. Furthermore, he is undeniably a man of intellect and grace - a certified rascal. 
== Pre-Townscraft ==
Historio first dived into the world of SMP's on June 17th, 2017. He joined a server called The CraftersDimension where he met many people that used to or still do play on Townscraft such as MagicTyFighter, Sabriner, SpankingNuns (Byodx), ethan517, Sheepzus, MemesFillMySoul, froggysweaters and more. He loves that they play on his server today but he constantly has to suppress their discord messages due to them doxxing him on accident nonstop. The CraftersDimension would close its doors for the final time in mid-February 2020. There is currently no plans to reopen TCD as Townscraft now acts as its spiritual successor.
After a month of the Cactus Family Mafia group not having a server to play on, Historio found a server called Simplistica. It had a tight knit community and was about to become one year old. After playing on the server for around a week Historio invited his friends, despite certain red flags such as a complete lack of grief prevention on the server.
They would create a town called Sabaar in a desert. It is arguably one of the group's best and most coordinated projects, but it was cut short as conflict with Simplistica's staff team grew. At first they tolerated certain issues Simplistica had, but after a few back to back incidents most of them would leave the server. Historio still liked the idea of Simplistica though, and he had ran and SMP in the past. So he decided to put together what he liked from The CraftersDimension, Simplistica and his old server, and created Townscraft.
He advertised his new server a few days before he planned on launching it, failing to factor how many people would join the server due to quarantine. More people than he was prepared for joined the server and as a result he decided to launch Townscraft a day before it was meant to be.
== Montrex ==
Historio and Spartacus/Bluemax2000 had found a shattered savanna in Townscraft's seed that they really liked the night before the server's launch and decided to settle there and create Montrex.
Historio and Spart would continue to build up Montrex, but over time they stopped recruiting as much and Bilgewater rose to dominate the scene, and as a result Montrex became less relevant. While in Montrex Historio would make his house, a house for mrbobn, The Mending Monkey stall, the Town Hall, and a few other small builds.
Over time it came to Historio's attention that Montrex was dying and he decided to fix up the town to prepare for recruitment again, but he hit a roadblock, he had no idea what he wanted the theme to look like. He would spend around two weeks trying to solve this before giving up. After some thinking he decided to convert to Spudism and move to Summerhall.
== Summerhall ==
When Historio moved to Summerhall he quickly built his house there. And after that he moved a bird statue by request of _Pork. Following the migration of most of the original playerbase in mid-July, Historio took a few week break from the server in favor of a semi-anarchy server.
After coming back from his break on the server he didn't truly return to Townscraft. From this point on he was only semi-active, sometimes not getting on for days at a time, and soon those days turned into weeks. He was still somewhat involved in the community though and oversaw the first PvP tournament and the promotion of Kimberrrr to moderator. By early October he had more or less stopped playing altogether, and began to entertain the idea of resigning from the staff team. 
== Ownership Resignation ==
On October 17th, 2020, Historio announced that he would officially be stepping down as owner of Townscraft in a month, passing the responsibility to Kimberrrr. During this month they co-owned the server while Kim got used to running it. On the 17th of November, 2020, Historio resigned from the staff team, and ownership of the actual server would be transferred over to Kimber about two weeks later, though he remains the technical owner of the discord to this day. Historio would go on to still help out the staff team with things behind the scenes when it came to running the server from time to time. Historio announced that this wouldn't be the end of him on Townscraft, and he would be a semi-active player, but for the next 6 months he sparsely played, logging on every few months. It was said that Historio was off somewhere, roaming lands riddled with anarchy, with it being unknown if he'd ever return to his server.
== The Anarchy Odyssey ==
From October 2020 - March 2021 Historio played almost exclusively on semi-anarchy servers after feeling SMP's were too laxed and easy. He had been playing in a larger semi-anarchy server since June but following a base grief there he started to search for a younger and smaller, but similar server. Due to how niche properly run semi-anarchy servers are this took almost a month but eventually he found one in late November. The server was a lot of fun for him for the first 3 months, but as February rolled around he had become a prominent member of the largest faction on the server. And just like Townscraft, playing on the server began to feel more like a stressful burden then a fun passtime. And so by March he had basically left the server, which closed its doors a month later to Owner inattention.
He then realized it was now April 2021 however, and he remembered his quarantine project Townscraft was still running and about to turn a year old.
== The (sort of) Return ==
In April Historio logged onto Townscraft with the intention of actually playing again for the first time since late July. After being awestruck at all the amazing shit people had built since he was gone he would resume his projects in Summerhall and hastily put together a 1 year anniversary video for the server on April 17th. After this though his activity dropped and became more short bursts of activity every 2ish weeks. During this time he participated in the Roman Catholic Cathedral's PvP tournament and oversaw Luccalol's tour of Townscraft. In June he officially returned to the staff team as an admin and plays on the server as a semi-active builder working towards making Summerhall as complete as possible.
