Turret

Both turret (turret001) and Aermyne have been a big part of TVE, first as players until June of 2021, and then as the TVE admins/owners, until December of 2022, when NaiHaz took over, leading to the last period of TVE. 
=== Turret as player (2020-2021): ===
Turret joined in March 2020, being one of the first TVE players, and spending his first days talking on chat, making bases, travelling and testing different speed modules on hack clients (something that annoyed other players, as it slowed down TVE dramatically). He mostly just spent his time as a player until the start of 2021, when he became inactive, shortly after creating Matrix.
===Turret and Aermyne as admins (September 2021-December 2022):===
When sleepylessons announced his departure from TVE, he asked on the TVE discord for players to step up as the new admins. After some time without any good options, Aermyne and Turret stepped up to host TVE. And when sleepylessons finally came back, he gave ownership to them, with TVE being also finally updated to 1.17.1, and reopened in September 2021.
==== Anticheat: ====
After this update, TVE went back to penguin levels of anticheat, being a more relaxed approach to it, and often being gaps that people would abuse (something that actually made people more engaged, as exploits were easier to find, but had some downsides, such as people crashing the server) 
One of the most drastic anticheat measures happened after a certain hack was abused to crash TVE entirely more than once in the same day (after being used for days before the crash by a player to load chunks for his own proyect, lagging TVE for hours) This hacks all abused packets, either to fly or to load chunks. 
Using packets to fly is what caused the crash, as players would get teleported far past the world border, crashing TVE. But since the admins didn't know at the time, a strict set of flight related anticheat measures was implemented for around a month, until the middle of March 2022. After this, anticheat went back to normal, except for packet limits.
And just a week after, a hole in the anticheat was also found, with the tp exploit being found by the Cat Guardians, and its further development by Spawn Nomads. But, thankfully, this exploit wasn't dangerous for TVE, as it wasted even less resources on the server than normal travel. After this discovery, there wasn't any major exploits found afterwards.
==== Approach to TVE: ====
Turret and Aermyne had a pretty relaxed approach to TVE and its management. They mostly just stuck to fixing TVE when it broke, and being active with the community, often attending events, visiting player's bases and just being active on TVE's discord.
They hosted TVE for the longest time (a year and 2 months hosting TVE), and their management has been considered one of the best of TVE, being compared with TVE's founder managenent, penguin.
The only real problem their management had was the struggle to keep TVE's costs paid every month, and they often asked for donations, when they didn't had enough to pay for it all.
This was also the reason why they ended up giving TVE to NaiHaz, who stepped up as the new admin on the last period of TVE.
