The Bronx

The Bronx is a city built at spawn (coordinates: 765 69 -65), and serves as the main hub for the S1MP SMP. It has currently been the center of every war in the server's history. The Bronx has mostly been built by Th3G00dL4d as he hoped to make it both a neutral ground and a place to spread the word of the Menstruation Cat.

## History of the Bronx

The Bronx first started Th3G00dL4d with the Idol & Church of the Menstruation Cat. During construction of the church it would constantly be exploded by creepers, however in time the church would be fully built (aside from the planned belltower). Pastor Vincent (Th3G00dL4d)'s home would also be built next to the church after its completion.

A few houses and farms would later be built for public use. A bridge would also be constructed, making easier access to the other side of the lake. The Enchanting house would also be built as a collaborative effort between Th3G00dL4d, H1jackminecraft, ZeroAlpaca50577, & Oliver Kos; with Th3G00dL4d building the exterior, H1jackminecraft crafting and donating the enchantment table, and ZeroAlpaca50577 & Oliver Kos who supplied the bookshelves.

### **The First War**

During a a scuffle in the Church of the Menstruation Cat between Th3G00dL4d, Oliver Kos, and H1jackminecraft, Oliver Kos was shot down by Th3G00dL4d. After his stuff was returned to him, Oliver Kos left across the river, promised payment to ZeroAlpaca50577 and Tater T0tter as mercenaries and began to construct a trench with them. This trench would go onto be Fort Amol. Unoffically starting the First War.

Thanks to ZeroAlpaca50577 warning Th3G00dL4d that Oliver Kos planned on attacking the Church, he was able to ralley H1jackminecraft and Skittles7844 to his aid. H1jackminecraft would build a small cobblestone wall around the Bronx as the rest prepared for the upcoming seige. In the few minutes after the walls were built, ZeroAlpaca50577 sided against Oliver Kos.

Soon after Oliver Kos offically declared war, he casually walked into Th3G00dL4d's house where he was shot dead by Th3G00dL4d. Soon after, the front of the church and Th3G00dL4d's house was blown up by tnt that was placed underground by Tater T0tter, causing Th3G00dL4d to lose most of his stuff that wasn't in his inventory. Oliver Kos then charged in with his best stuff, where he was immediantly killed by Th3G00dL4d again, drawing the war to an overall anticlimactic close.

### **Post First War**

During the aftermath of the war, Tater T0tter apologized for his crimes and helped Th3G00dL4d & Skittles7844 with repairing the church. During repairs, Oliver Kos attacked everything he saw in the Bronx and his own home. This led to Oliver Kos' exile from the Bronx. Skittles7844 would also build the church's belltower, which would be used by ZeroAlpaca50577 as a sniper's nest while repairs were being made. Th3G00dL4d would also build a brick house for ZeroAlpaca50577 to live in as he was looking for a place to live at the time, however when ZeroAlpaca50577 was notified about the house he had already began construction on his home; the Factory. The house would later be used as a storage shed for Tater T0tter.

A few days after the war, Oliver Kos would go on to construct the walled fort; Fort Amol with Skittles7844's help as they both needed a home (See: Bronx-side Homestead). Around this time, the Bronx would get its name due to the First War and Fort Amol. A little while after the Fort's completion Th3G00dL4d found a hole under the church which led to the Fort. He would do his best to cover it up, in an attempt to prevent the church from being bombed again.

The Fort would later fall after Oliver Kos supposedly stole from Tater T0tter. In retaliation Tater T0tter dropped bombs on top of Fort Amol and began making a large dirt platform that coated the ruins of the Fort in shadow. The fort would be abandoned soon afterwards. Th3G00dL4d would claim the fort and begin to map out new districts of the Bronx.

At the same time H1jackminecraft & KeptAardvark161 began working on the Kelp Roof as a side project. The point of the roof being to make the Bronx “more shady" The roof was originally supposed to be made from cobblestone however after discovering that Kelp is an easier resource to harvest, the plan switched to kelp.

### **The Districts**

The districts would be created soon after Oliver Kos' departure from the Bronx. The Bronx would be split into three in order to salvage the Bronx's reputation as it was mostly known for being the location of the First War and a key area of violence. Th3G00dL4d hoped that by pushing the stigma of the Bronx towards one of the districts, that at least the part of the Bronx he worked on would be seen in a better light.

#### **Alessian district**

The Alessian district was the part of the Bronx that Th3G00dL4d worked on and held almost every structure in the Bronx. It was expecially religous, with most of the rules being geared towards preserving the Church of the Menstruation Cat, the Idol of the Cat, and it's attempted peacefulness. Sinners would be written down and be restricted to enter, lest they face religious justice by the loyal members of the church.

In the time the districts was still active, the Alessian part of the Bronx would get a slight overhaul as roads, a food storage, Fun Guy Inn, and a dock would be built. The Dock was mostly built by KeptAardvark161 after he built Kris' Panama Canal & the shores of the Bronx was raised to prevent drowned from attacking the Bronx.

Torches also would be placed around the Bronx to counteract the shade of the Kelp Roof. As well as the Idol of the Cat being upgraded, now being built out of glowstone and its eyes being replaced with redstone blocks.

#### **Corprus district**

The Corprus district was a lawless district that was sealed behind the district's amalgamated walls which was made of random blocks. The district was often subjected to violence and prostitution and was commonly used as an arena. Inside held the ruins of Fort Amol which served as the unoffical center of the Corprus district. There was also a Trader's Llama that was known as the Corprus Carrier or the Corprus Llama.

#### **Dres district**

The Dres district was built on the dirt roof that covered the Corprus district in darkness. The roof would be used as a great potato farm, with a few houses built on it as well. It was the only district that allowed slavery and was primarily owned by Tater T0tter. It would sometimes be used to fire down upon the Alessian district by Oliver Kos.

#### **Neutral Grounds**

The neutral grounds of the Bronx was the space between the districts. It would hold a stage which was built in a hope to boost moral (it wouldn't be used until the Festival of the Kelp Man), and for a short time an arena that was built by Oliver Kos. It would be used once and later torn down.

#### **Destruction of the Districts**

Some time later, Th3G00dL4d realised his mistake and sent out a poll to remove the other districts and to make the Bronx whole. The poll was met with overwhelming positivity which pushed Th3G00dL4d to tear down the Corprus & Dres districts on 12/5/20. After the Corprus & Dres districts was removed, the ruins of Fort Amol was all that was left. The ruins would be repurposed as the Bronx Museum with part of its mine being uncovered for the End Exibit.

A library would later be built as well by Oliver Kos. It currently holds all known non-historical books (as historical books are put into the museum). Beneath it is the archives, where it keeps the original copies of the books.

### **The War of the Degenerates**

The Bronx served as a neutral ground during the war however, after the first battle of the War of the Degenerates, the Minutemen saw the Bronx as a key point to capture (at least for its church's bell tower as it served as a decent sniper tower) as well as it being between the Prydwen and the Factory. Upon learning that Oliver Kos took and fortified the bell tower, Th3G00dL4d confronted him to take down the fortifications and leave, trying to keep the Bronx out off a war that didn't involve them. After a brief scuffle, and Th3G00dL4d threating to take Tater T0tter's side, Oliver Kos took down the fortifications and left.

During the war, the White-Gold Tower would be constructed.

### **Post War of Degenerates**

After the War of Degenerates, a meeting was finally scheduled which would be held in the White-Gold Tower which would become the Bronx Convention. However in the time waiting, the Festival of the Kelp Man would be scheduled on the same day and would be prepared by Th3G00dL4d, with some help from Skittles7844.

### **Bronx Convention & Festival of the Kelp Man**

(See: Bronx Convention)

(See: Festival of the Kelp Man)

### **The Defeathering**

During the Defeathering Oliver Kos would attack Tater T0tter in the streets of the Bronx, knowing that this was more of a butcher than a war, Th3G00dL4d secretly armed Tater T0tter so that he could at least fight back. Skittles7844's pets would also be exacuated to the church as the Bronx-side Homestead would also be used as a "battleground."

### **The Reconnaissance War**

The Bronx was mainly put on high guard while ZeroAlpaca50577 hunted down Tater T0tter. Against Th3G00dL4d's will, ZeroAlpaca50577 & Oliver Kos would drag out Jack Frost from the Bronx-side Homestead & executed him due to beliefs he was a spy for Tater T0tter.

### **Post Reconnaissance War**

After the Reconnaissance War the Bronx-side Homestead would be annexed into the Bronx. A small wall would also be build around the Bronx's perimeter, as a way of showing the area that Oliver Kos wasn't allowed to enter, due to them being exiled once again.
