## **About n00b69**

n00b69 is a 21 year old (as of July 2021) gamer, who can mostly be seen playing classic Tomb Raider games, as well as Minecraft. He used to be an active member of the GTA special vehicle collecting community, and had a Youtube channel which had 5000 subscribers. He has however since quit playing GTA, and in early 2018 the Youtube channel associated with him was terminated. Joining in mid 2013, he is the oldest still active player on Viper's Lair, as well as one of the original founders of the DPRM.

## **Old Viper's Lair (2013-2016)**

In early 2013, n00b69 (at the time HeroBrineR007) was an active member of a now defunct "Survival Island" server ran by Cal\_Of\_Duty. However, he lost interest in said server and found a small fairly new vanilla-anarchy server called Viper's Lair. At first he started playing in Vanilla, and travelled as 70.000 blocks away from spawn by foot. There, he managed to fall to his death, losing several days worth of progress. This resulted in a ragequit, which lead to him abandoning the server for a few days. However, the server still spiked his interest, and he figured out about hacked clients. He installed Wurst, which was his first hacked client ever (which is still his favourite client to this day), and flew out to his death spot. There he grabbed his stuff, and he continued to fly in a straight line, where he eventually found a jungle biome 100.000 blocks from spawn. This was his biome of choice, and he knew that this would become the area for his first base.

### First Base

And thus he started building. In the beginning, he was alone. However, he regularly noticed a player by the name of "Dark\_Cooki3m0nst3r" (not the actual name, which unfortunately is lost to time), whom he quickly invited over. They build a farm together, however weeks later HeroBrineR007 found a sign at his base saying "I broke my arm, won't be active for a while", which was the last time Cooki3m0nst3r was ever seen. This was a dark day in HeroBrineR007's history, however the pain did not last very long. A few days later, a player named haxel666 was being spawnkilled, and he quickly got invited to the base.

   However, all things must come to an end. Someone found the base and griefed it. Anything of value that still remained was quickly gathered, and they set foot on the nether roof to find a new area to build in. The ruins of this base, haven't been touched since. Upon returning in 2020 to capture all the old bases, everything was exactly as it was left off in 2014.

### Second Base & F.U.C.K

    Using AMIDST, an application that allows the player to find biomes and structures in Minecraft, a new jungle biome was located, far away from the first base. Before arriving there, a donator (whom at the time had access to Creative mode) who decided to quit the server, decided to have a drop party at spawn before leaving the server forever. HeroBrineR007 was late to the party, and was unfortunately not able to get anything. Shortly before logging off, he made his way onto the nether roof near spawn, and was followed by said player. After logging back in the next day, he found a sign next to several double chests telling him that "I am sorry for not being able to give you any items yesterday, here's some stuff :)". These chests contained all kinds of rare items like diamond blocks, emerald blocks, dragon eggs, etc. Even bedrock. Another player named VimpuliXD went into the nether and saw the chests, and made his way onto the roof. There he found HeroBrineR007, and after exchanging a few words it was decided that VimpuliXD would become the third member of the group. They quickly gathered the most important items and then burned the rest, before going to the coordinates of the new jungle biome. To make contacting each other more easy, a group on the now defunct forums was made. Due to two of the three members being Finnish, it was decided that the name Finnish Ultra Cock Konversation (F.U.C.K) would be a suitable name. Konversation was later replaced by Krew, which then became the ingame name of the group.

    This new base contained yet again a mother's tree of a similar design, however as HeroBrineR007 was not good at making natural leaves, it was decided upon that it would become a dead tree, hit by lightning, hence the broken and burnt part. Under the tree there was a trophy room with player heads obtained from voting, as well as some good villagers obtained from a nearby village. Under this room, a large storage room could be found. Outside of the tree house, a large underground crop farm was made, which used very primitive redstone mechanics to flood the fields with water in order to harvest the crops. Nearby, VimpuliXD made a treehouse on top of the hill behind the mother's tree, which was accesible through a staircase carved inside the mountain, hidden behind a nether portal. haxel666 at the time became quite inactive, however he made a small base out of cobblestone nearby, as well as a rollercoaster that served as an anti-afk machine.

    Even though this second base was at a much safer location, it did not last as long as the first base. It is unknown as to how the base was found, but apparently one of the admins posted the coordinates to it in the shoutbox on the forums. And upon logging in one day, HeroBrineR007 found wasd5009 who was raiding the base at the time. was5009 was quickly slain, and HeroBrineR007 quickly went to grab whatever was left of the base.

### OP items fiasco

While HeroBrineR007 enjoyed using OP items, he noticed that the admins were not very fond of them. So he constructed a plan. He would secretly use them, but to cover his actions he would actively hunt down people who used OP items, and report them on the forums. This plan worked. Tons of OP items were confiscated, while nobody ever suspected him.

### Third and final base

    After being griefed yet again, the F.U.C.K once again went to a new location. Millions out, which at the time was crazy. By this time haxel666 became very inactive. While he did move there, he rarely logged on, and has not built anything. Due to real life taking over, this base never took off like the previous ones. Construction was planned for a new tree, but this was never acted upon. Instead, a small wooden house was built, which covered an identical storage room from the previous base. On the nearby beach several structures could be found. There was a hole down to bedrock, dug out with nuker. Next to it was a tower stretching all the way to the build limit. None of these builds server a purpose. Next to it, the ruins of a tower were also constructed. Beneath the floorboards, a small storage room was constructed. There was also an automatic sugar cane farm, next to a trap house. A sign told the player to jump into the water below, which was actually blue wool. Later, an admin placed command blocks here to allow the player to teleport to the previous two bases.

    Somewhere in late 2015, when the server reached its peak playerbase of an average of more than 20 people on at any time (and an all time high of just below 100), the server got DDOSed. This resulted in the server being offline for a considerable amount of time. To allow the players to still play on a similar server, one of the admins named BaltimoreCalling constructed a server called Minepurist, where most of the active playerbase played until Viper's Lair returned. Minepurist gained interest from other players, and has remained open since (although it did get sold to a new owner, several times). Things remained like normal, until it was announced that for the 1.9 update, the server would get a new map.

## **New Viper's Lair (2016-2018)**

In february of 2016, at last, the server was finally reset. While at first n00b69 disliked the reset, in the end he was actually hyped up for it. The bases he has built previously, while holding nostalgic value, have not been impressive at all. And after years of boredom and having maxed gear and laying dormant, this was his time to shine. Upon joining, he quickly made his way to a few thousand away from spawn, as to not be attacked by other players whilst mining for diamonds. It was not long before he obtained full diamond gear and lots of food, after which he set foot on the nether roof to travel a few million blocks away to build a base. Whilst travelling a few millions out, he was invited by Green\_Naugahyde to join his group. He accepted, however did not move to the base due to how close to spawn it was. Instead, he kept travelling to obtain good gear.

It did not take long before he found a villager selling mending books, which he used as much as he could. Shulker boxes were obtained from voting, which were used to store all the mending books. At this time, he also designed a banner to be put on a shield. Once all his equipment was maxed out, and he was carrying as much mending books as he could, he yet again set foot onto the nether roof. By this time, the base of Green\_Naugahyde and his friends had already been griefed, so he made his way to the second base. He did not manage to convince the others to join him, even though the location he discovered was much safer. Upon arrival, in late february of 2016, he quickly gave everyone the long awaited mending books, so they could upgrade their armor. The others looked at the shield he made, and it was decided upon that this banner would be the official banner of the yet unnamed group. n00b69 then found a mesa biome a few thousand blocks away from the main base, in which he set up a mountain house.

### The Democratic People's Republic of Minecraft

After a few days, people started to think about a name for the group. After all, they were at the time the largest group in the server, despite not even having a name. Names such as Pdozelian Empire, the Potato Empire, and many more popped up, but none of them gained the approval of all members. Then, n00b69 came up with the name Democratic People's Republic of Minecraft, a nod to North Korea. This idea was well received by RockyAgate, who at the time was the only other online member. The idea was passed down to the others, and everyone agreed. Thus, the DPRM was born.

Eventually, this second base was found, and parts of it were destroyed. Everyone packed whatever they could salvage, and set foot to a new location. Much further away from spawn this time. Some members of the group stopped playing around this time altogether, while others were intentially left behind due to their lack of dilligence. While everyone built in one area, n00b69 yet again did not like the choice of biomes, and thus he flew out to find a jungle biome. While the old base was connected by a railway tunnel through the overworld, this jungle biome was way too far, and thus a highway in the nether was constructed. At this base, the first of many mother trees to come were constructed, inside a cave. With the help of GreenGaming8, an entire mountain was carved out, in which an artifical jungle biome was built. In the middle, stood the tree. Beneath the tree, there was a storage room. The rest of the cave was supposed to house a massive zoo with all kinds of mobs, however this project was never finished due to an accidental leak of a bedrock pattern at the base.

### DPRM IV

One day, n00b69 decided to livestream a tour of the base for his Youtube channel, which at the time had 1000 subscribers, in an attempt to get more people to join the server. While doing so, he accidentally went into a massive hole which was dug up by RockyAgate. In this cave, a large part of the bedrock was exposed, which can be used to track the base coordinates. The stream was quickly shut off, however at the time there were 5 people watching, one of which appeared to be one of the DPRM's biggest enemies, PrayedGerm. It was thus decided upon to abandon this third base, and construct a fourth base.

At the time, a teleportation exploit existed, which allowed the player to convert their overworld coordinates to nether coordinates, and vice versa. And through this, n00b69 quickly managed to teleport to an area 8x as far away from spawn as the third base. From there on he found a jungle, in which he constructed another one of his signature chestrooms. The other members soon followed. A while later, Matoosh accidentally posted an image of the coordinates publicly on the forums. It took quite a while for him to delete it, but the damage was seemingly done. However, around this time, ViperSRT3g announced he'd be shutting down the server, so no effort was made to find a new location to build in.

### Echoes MC

After the server shut down, a player named SWS8964 hopped onto the Viper's Lair forums, and made a post about his server, which was similar to Viper's Lair in nature. Most of the active playerbase swiftly moved over here, and the DPRM regrouped as well. Yet again, n00b69 did not build his base close to the others, and instead he travelled a considerable distance away to a jungle, in which he drained a part of the ocean and built a small cottage in the drained area.

A few months later, the server started to die and everyone stopped playing. Later, the server was reset entirely, and the old map was completely lost. The community came together and played on other servers, however n00b69 was not aware of this and just assumed everyone left.

## **Viper's Lair Reborn (2019-present)**

In December of 2019, RockyAgate made n00b69 aware of a project to revive the server. And finally, on December 26th of 2019, the server reopened. Remembering the supposed leak of the coordinates of the DPRM III and DPRM IV base, he went to the DPRM IV base and travelled a few hundred thousand blocks to reach a new jungle, in which he temporarily set up camp. Green\_Naugahyde and Vihreaa refused to come, stating that DPRM III was perfectly safe. While initially hesitant, n00b69 decided to return to his cave base in DPRM III. However, in secret he planned to locate a new area, to which he moved shortly after. At first, he was the only player there, but he quickly teleported RockyAgate and Green\_Naugahyde over. RockyAgate initially didn't build much, while Green\_Naugahyde was tasked with the creation of a museum. However, he was not very active at this base, as he was still a few hundred thousand blocks away from the DPRM III at his current base, Magnolia. Vihreaa was constructing another base nearby, however he was initially not accepted at the new base due to fears he'd give PrayedGerm the coordinates.

### DPRM V

Then disaster struck. PrayedGerm teleported to Redoroc to look around the place, however his teleport was intercepted by Exodonus, who obtained the coordinates to the base. Believing that this was PrayedGerm's base, the coordinates were sent to Danger Mario, who swiftly destroyed it. In order to hide Magnolia, which was nearby, RockyAgate took part in an effort to destroy the base along with Mario, pretending to have become an enemy of the DPRM.

While it is sad that this base fell, in the end, it was a positive thing for the DPRM. Green\_Naugahyde and Vihreaa finally abandoned their bases, and moved over to the fifth and current base, in which they are still constructing spectacular builds. n00b69 has constructed a massive mansion made out of dirt, which houses possibly the biggest stash in the entire server. Every item that can be found ingame, can be found in massive quantities here.
