## History

### The Spark of Civilization

Member GruntingKitty12 (GK12) founded Compton in an abandoned farm located near spawn. With member Razryslek, the area was transformed from a few rows of farmland to a fully operational mining, farming and ranching base. Members GladsomeGamer and MrDarkWarlock29 assisted in this expansion.

### The First Journey

After collecting sufficient resources and materials, the founding members began the journey to find a more secure base location. They dubbed this day "Moving Day."

After multiple days of nomadic movement through both the Overworld and the Nether, and after suffering through multiple member deaths and much frustration, the group finally arrived at the site for what would become The Docks. MrDarkWarlock29 selected the site: a beautiful natural harbor formed by a chunk generation error.

### "Compton" and the Banner

Until this point, this faction lacked a name and banner. First, the members voted on the black-hole banner design and work started on the East Wall.

The name "Compton" was also chosen as the result of a faction-wide vote. The name was selected for its rich historical origin as a medieval lords' name in the county of Devonshire, England.

### The Docks

GruntingKitty12 was the main architect of The Docks and its facilities. He is responsible for the stained-glass East Wall, the iconic entry bridge, and the PvP training arena. Razryslek created the soaring glass windows on the South and West Walls.

The Plantation and other farming facilities were created by Jedi\_Player.

The Docks provide room, board and resources for each faction member.

The second floor houses a villager breeder and villager trading area. The facility was created by GruntingKitty12 and the villager breeder by GladsomeGamer.

## The Tradition of "The Journey"

Compton is constantly expanding its membership with new-from-spawn players. All players who have joined after Moving Day have had to make it from spawn to The Docks on their own with little to no assistance. Other founding members who died during Moving Day have also made The Journey alone.

The Journey is outlined as follows:

1. **Vote:** Vote for Purity Vanilla in order to secure food early on.
2. **The "PogTown Run:"** Go to (300, 300) and take advantage of PogTown to gather as many resources as possible.
3. **The Lava Mountain:** Go to the old destroyed base and collect sufficient food, tools, and armor.
4. **The Nether or the Overworld:** To get to The Docks, Journeyers must choose between making a shorter, riskier journey through the Nether or a longer, safer journey through the Overworld.

Jedi\_Player, Razryslek, and MrDarkWarlock29 made it through the initial Moving Day without dying. All other members of Compton have made The Journey.
