## The Beginning

On March 1st 2020, a group of IRL friends (Arix\_\_\_, mallty, Sam\_du\_QC, Rayyze, Xotiic01 and Irazyy) got bored of playing on minigames servers and decided they would give the real survival experience a try: Purity Vanilla. They started off by escaping spawn, gathering basic materials, and building their first spawn base on the server, The Iceberg. This base is still standing as of April 2022. Months later, the group left the Iceberg with the idea of an outer-spawn base in mind. Even though they had been playing Minecraft for many years, only a few of them knew how Purity farms worked. Mallty used his massive brain and taught the group Purity's ways.

## Big Brain Move

After a year of playing on the server, it was time for the group of French Canadians to get known. They decided to name themselves Saint-Laurent (SL). However, they decided this time to invite people they did not know IRL. Obviously, that didn't turn out well. Cooper, a trusted member of SL, got banned a few months after the group's creation. He later decided to leak Le Fleuve (SL's first base) to Caudimorda, a known griefer. Caudi, being a real chad as well as a close friend of the SL members, decided to tell them of Cooper's intentions. The same day, the five friends downloaded a schematic of the base and faked the grief... Cooper believed it. Even though Le Fleuve was now safe, the group's members became inactive and it was forgotten. However in December 2021, SL became active once again when Jamool and SL members Xotiic and wefhy decided to use Le Fleuve as a temporary base to play together. Unfortunately, the base had not gone unnoticed in the year and a half that it was lying dormant, as it was griefed by the players paleles and Jason3M just a few days after plans to return had begun. Following this the members of SL decided to begin building a new base, with a number of new players, including Jamool now joining them.

## Golden Era

The group found a location and began to expand, albeit rather slowly, up until the destruction of Bruh Market (a base of which wefhy was a part of), which led to 3 new players (Sasori\_mk, ShellFX, Yoavik70) making the base their new home and speeding up its construction. The group, now being comprised mostly of different players than the original SL, soon changed their group's name to NFT (or "Northern Faction Traders") and named their new base BTC ("Bitcoin"). A bunch of well-known players such as Moogle, Honzin, Norlak, Virgile also got invited to NFT, enabling the group to take on bigger projects. BTC eventually came to be comprised of two sections - a large farm area and a smaller build area. The farm area became the group's main focus, and included a variety of farms (constructed in large part by wefhy) that produced everything from obsidian, through dripstone, to huge quantities of blue dye (which were so essential to the group that they placed the farm area in a specific spot, in a flower forest a thousand blocks from the build area for its sake). The build area, while smaller, contained a number of builds including a floating house designed by Norlak, a gigantic map display hall built by 123MiningMaster, an aquatic themed build by ShellFX, and a handful of homes. Despite being highly active, the members of NFT would lose the chance to further expand BTC due to an abrupt grief. On February 21st 2022, NFT destroyed a spawnbase belonging to the griefing faction Pumpkin Legion that had been found by 123MiningMaster using pie-ray. The following day, the members of Pumpkin arrived at and griefed BTC as revenge for the destruction of their spawn base. BTC, which the Pumpkin members claimed to have located just one day before they griefed it, had lasted about two months.

## What is Block Chain now?

Following the grief, NFT renamed themselves once again to BC ("Block chain"), and created a new base named Doge Coin which they continue to work on as of April 2022. BC now stands as one of the most active factions on Purity Vanilla.
