Gyro

**Gyro** (also known as **Gyroman** or **vac37**) is a Former Citizen currently banned from Syberiacraft. His achievements included building Helenski and shitposting Jojo stuff.

## History

Gyro joined the server on October 26, 2018, where he was immediately thrown into action when he walked in on the event known as the Chickening, quickly leaving a good impression by helping mods with the cleanup afterwards.

Gyro would continue to be an active member of the community in months following, though truly began to be seen as a valuable member in April 2019, when he began construction of the Asia-inspired slum city Helenski, a project he would oversee until his banning. Gyro also participated in Nunavut, where in Season 2 he ran a hit business where he would kill players for payment.

During the summer, Gyro began to become notorious within the server for his toxic behavior in Syberia, PBU, and other servers. This became increasingly apparent as time passed, with his campaign in the fourth Kanzler elections seeing unnecessary bitter argument over his party's standpoint and his demand to have a special channel created for his birthday. However, the most egregious of his actions was in his interactions with user DoodleRoar. In what Gyro later claimed to have been a joke, several of his interactions with Doodle became needlessly intimate, for example, sending heart emojis and lying over small things. This placed much stress on Doodle and most definitely contributed to her ongoing hiatus.

After giving numerous warnings, the modteam had enough and banned Gyro for toxic behavior and harassing the mods on August 28, 2019.

> *"`Achtung, citizens of Syberiacraft. It is no pleasure to announce this, yet however it is a necessity. After deliberating this issue for some time, the staff team has reached a decision regarding the membership of Gyro, a regular user on the server. Gyro's actions, which include toxic behavior and harassment towards moderators, have shown no sign of ceasing. It is our belief that this action is what is best for the server. We ask that you not contact the user to discuss the matter with him."`*

Gyro attempted to gather a "refutation" to defend his actions and rally the server to get him unbanned, though this only further exposed his activities to the playerbase. His friends, particularly the users Shy, Good Boy, and Lombard would continue to mouthpiece for him until their own bans.

Most of the mods cut contact with Gyro after his banning, though respected his wish for Helenski to be protected from any editing. It seemed this was the end of Gyro's tale until the 22nd of December, when numerous users joined the server, bringing in hacked items and bombing numerous locations in what was quickly dubbed the Yuletide attacks. A shallow investigation revealed that most if not all of the raiders were in Gyro's circle of friends, who had inexplicably held a grudge against Syberiacraft for four entire months. In response, Helenski's protection was revoked and any consideration of unbanning Gyro anytime soon was repealed.

Gyro's legacy remains today as an unfortunate story of a Nice Guy™ who took small matters entirely too far.
