## JerryPickles

JerryPickles is a character within the Pelchat smp known for being a admin in the server and being a key faction leader in the early parts of the server. After Jerry's ascension to admin he was known as the god of life, knowledge, and creation. JerryPickles is identified with a distinctive look of a anthropomorphic cow and is most notably known for the ongoing project at Jerusalem.

## Pre-Pelchat SMP

#### **Fyrlex Server**

In 2016 JerryPickles was first introduced to custom Minecraft servers when he helped create a Java server that went by the name of Fyrlex with his friend Fyrlex/LasagnaPleasure. Jerry was in charge of the builds of the server due to his abilities in architectural design and building while Fyrlex used his vast knowledge of coding along with Minecraft commands and plugins as the servers host. Jerry first learned the advanced use of admin powers and commands from Fyrlex during this time as they worked together to create the server.

#### **GangZ**

In early 2020 Jerry entered the realm of hosting public servers with the founding of a server using Linux/ubuntu on a free to play zombie survival game called Unturned. This server hosted a variety of custom instances such as a simple duo survival series and eventually an attempt at a larger multi-person gangz style gang warfare/survival game based off of Gnerikb's Unturned Gangz series from 2016. The initial launch of the server was made to be its only event as interest died off soon after. Several characters from the Pelchat smp logged on from the time including and most notably Daniel while other examples being the inactive Jamhut and Alex db.

#### **World1 Server (Java Edition)**

Around mid 2020 JerryPickles converted the Unturned server to create a Java Minecraft server to host for a multitude of former Gangz server members. Due to its unambitious goals the server remained as a small scale basic survival with no meaningful factions or events. The server began with Daniel and Jerry founding a small walled outpost in the desert around a lava pool to keep out mobs while Jamhut went to a nearby bay to found a farm. As more members started to log onto the server, Jerry went on to create what he called a commercial sector of the base where within a Arby's was founded for the production of food, a spin off of a German steel company was founded called Krupp steel for smelting and iron, and a Panera bread was created for bread and wheat produced from a large scale commune style 'peoples' farm to spite Jamhut's amply named "my farm".

Countless creeper holes that no one wanted to patch started to spring up all around the crude and slowly expanding base which was compared by Jerry Pickles to "warzone" and started calling the base a "Isis encampment" which lead to a overall Islamist theme. A large string of villages and structures in the vast desert to the east that were discovered across the desert which the journey to reach them was called the pilgrimage to Mecca along with the villages being named Mecca, Medina, Jeddah, and Riyadh thusly.

The server slowly lost traction overtime as mysterious lag spikes started to occur and people slowly started login on less and less. However, Jerry consistently logged on and went on to build a house keeping to the middle-eastern Muslim theme. However less then a week before the creation of the Pelchat SMP the server was almost entirely retired with the instance being temporarily shutdown.

## History

### Early Days

Jerry joined late in the first day of the server which put him behind most of the recent members. Upon joining Jerry set up a home in Jerusalem near the center of the city. Survival was quite difficult in the early days as at the time the SMP was on hard mode, making food very hard to come by. Jerry realized this problem for the server and founded the Romanian meat market at the center of town, making it the first ever business on the server.

### The Jihad

#### **Flight from Jerusalem**

Upon hearing the news of the burning of Mecca, JerryPickles called upon Daniel and anyone else who would join to call a Jihad upon Jerusalem for the return of Mecca. Later that day Jerry would log on to find his house burned, his livestock killed, and his crops ravaged. He would flee the city to find somewhere he could regroup with whoever answered his call to arms. Jerry fled south but was closely followed by Nick who caught him in a swamp south of Jerusalem. A brief skirmish began in the swamp, consisting of Jerry firing the first few shots to keep Nick at bay. Nick attempted to fire back but Jerry had already fled the scene. This would be the first engagement between two opposing factions and the first official engagement of the server. The site is also the location where the modern-day city of Holland was founded.

**The Unholy Land**

After the skirmish south of Jerusalem, Jerry turned east and traveled as far as he could before having to stop for food and shelter. Upon looking for a place to settle Jerry discovered the Unholy land. The unholy land was named when a naturally generated hole in the ground in the shape of a cross was found. Jerry decided to renounce the Christian theme of the rest of the server and proceeded to light the cross on fire and create several other unholy symbols. A campsite was set up on the land consisting of a small tent and a campfire which would serve as a base for the Jihadists for the time. Upon hearing of the unholy land, Jerusalem officially declared all out war upon the Jihadists and sought to destroy the unholy land with Nick.

**Constantinople-Jerusalem Conflicts**

The other Jihadist Daniel joined up with Jerry in the Unholy land to join Jerry's cause. This prompted the creation of the Jihadist faction and the official start to the 1st Jihadist war. However, back in Jerusalem a conflict erupted between a Jerusalem breakaway faction called Constantinople lead by Nick and the town of Jerusalem. The Jihadist decided they would set aside their differences with Jerusalem and face their common enemy of Nick. However before the Jihad could come to the aid of Jerusalem, the city had already surrendered. This led to the Jihadist doubling back to retake the city of Mecca before Nick conquered it too.

**The Battle of Mecca**

After the surrender of Jerusalem, JerryPickles went in to aid the city of Mecca by rebuilding it and constructing the House of Allah in Mecca while Daniel went to the unholy land to collect supplies. Upon the completion of the mosque Nick traveled to Mecca to finish the war once and for all and destroy the city for the final time. Jerry was all on his own to defend the city against Nick and was heavily outgunned without the help of Daniel. Upon seeing Nick's arrival to the city, Jerry abandoned the Mosque and dug himself in to the cliffs overlooking the city. After a brief conversation the first shots rang out from Jerry hoping to drive him away from the city long enough for Daniel to arrive. Nick immediately pushed into the city and started exchanging fire with Jerry. The bow skirmish lasted for some time until a breif pause in the battle where Jerry reequipped and regrouped to prepare for Nicks return. However at the same time Daniel was approaching Mecca but was spotted by Nick. He was hunted down and pursued by Nick however he was eventually killed despite being heavily armed. Upon Nick's return the bow duel continued until finally Jerry was shot and killed in a house near the cliff. The battle ended with Nicks victory with the mosque and the rest of the city being almost completely leveled.

#### **Post-Battle**

After the battle Nick withdrew from the city, leaving the Jihadists with just a couple of ruined buildings. Reconstruction began almost immediately with the mosque being rebuilt and Daniel repairing a ruined building for his house. The reconstruction has been ongoing since then however the Jihadist's presence in the city has mainly left.

### Jerusalem Project Era

#### **Cartography**

Jerry has been known to be one of the main cartographers on the server, starting with the commission of a Holy Land map for the old city of Jerusalem after building a highway from Constantinople to the city. Once Jerry became an admin he continued to map out the server this time in creative, maintaining a large public map of the Holy land and the creation of a 4/4 scale map of the entire server.

#### **Admin Powers**

After the Jihadist war Nick and Jerry met to discuss terms however it soon stemmed to the future of the server and the renovation of Jerusalem. Jerry was soon promoted to an Admin of the server and used his pervious knowledge in Minecraft commands to speed up the construction. Nick soon turned away from the project to start further harassing people for unknown reasons however Jerry was committed to the design and construction of the city. Some of the notable constructions built by Jerry are the horse statue, the walls, all of the town buildings, and the central bank building. The construction project was stalled late in the year due to inactivity and design problems.

#### **Gold Scandal**

During a mapping expedition JerryPickles found a structure belonging to a member of Atlantis that was thought to be a illegal gold farm and had them stand on trial. However, the jury overturned this accusation as it was found to be a drowned farm.

#### **Mediterranean Territory Dispute**

Jerry originally backed the Dutch and their claims as he did not support of Malta's Atlantropa project. It was soon made clear to Jerry that Holland's claims where meant to be for construction on top of the water which would greatly affect the Jerusalem project. This turned into a dispute far later where a debate was sparked between Jerusalem and Holland over their borders into the sea. This dispute was resolved by Nick that Holland couldn't expand past a certain point.

### Eventual Transition Back to Survival

#### **JerryPickles Plantation Estate**

Soon after the border dispute Jerry asked to buy a chunk of land for a personal homestead in the swamp to the south of the city. The terms of the contract were heavily disputed however a agreement was eventually made about the property. JerryPickles plans to build a southern style plantation house on the land upon or before the completion of Jerusalem.

#### **Ranch/Western Campsite**

Jerry went back to survival officially for some time with the founding of a small western themed wagon campsite a long distance from the Holy Land to gain resources. A small chuckwagon was built by Jerry at the camp for the other Jihadist Daniel to move in or visit.
