## Appearances

### Debut

Season 1

dotogg is the host of Planet SMP and the owner of the district Fletcher's Point. Being the server host, they maintain the server and work on updates, on top of managing their own district. They have been prominent in nearly every season as one of the most active members.

## In Season 1

dotogg first appeared in Season 1, alongside Tortlala, thumbmonkie, miinaj, and Stormiosis, who hosted the server at the time. dotogg went under the alias of "ivysalad" at this time. During Season 1, dotogg was noted for their rapid progression at the start of the game - building a Nether Portal and finding diamonds the fastest - on the first day of the servers opening. As the server settled into the town, dotogg built and resided in a tall, medieval-style house - but never finished the interior. Additionally, dotogg was reputed for their work on the community center and farmhouse with Tortlala, as well as for having the least deaths in the season. dotogg won two awards at the Season 1 Barbiez Awards.

## In Season 2

dotogg returned in Season 2 alongside the other four members of Season 1. From this season on, dotogg would be the host and primary admin of each season's server. Opting for the use of mods, dotogg influenced the direction and theming of the season. dotogg was less active during this season, and as a result, wasn't noted for much in particular during the season. Their house in this season was a carved out cave that lead to small balconies under outdoor canopies of flowering oak leaves, situated on a stone spire.

## In Season 3

dotogg once again returned to host Season 3, with the additional task of recording and editing the season into YouTube videos for documentation and entertainment. Because of this commitment, this was dotogg's least active season. dotogg lived in the apartment complex built by Tortlala on the second story, alongside the other four members. During the season, dotogg built the first ever shop in SMP history in collaboration with Stormiosis.

## In Season 4

For Season 4, dotogg, now under the alias of "VolumeAlpha", focused on creating a streamlined experience for the server. More plugins were introduced, alongside promotional content leading up to the servers airing. Considering the popularity of the season, dotogg was more active during this season than all other seasons before. They were notable for founding the underground capitalist cult F.I.G., building a Piglin farm and Nether hub, as well as for running the Lie Berry and Ivy's Artisanal Goods. dotogg resided in the latter location, a 3-story home carved into the base of a lakeside cliff face - with a beekeeping farm room, quilting room, and gallery on the interior, with a soft wood-on-stone palette. There was a planned lobby for the location, but it was never realized.

## In Season 5 (Planet SMP)

Moving in to the current season of the SMP, Season 5, or simply Planet SMP, dotogg took on their modern alias and once again returned to host the server, going further with the streamlining efforts that Season 4 made. With server update support introduced, and with many new mechanics introduced, dotogg took on more of a status as an admin. In Season 5, dotogg is recognized for being the founder of Fletcher's Point, constructing many community builds, and having their username become a buzzword. dotogg currently resides in a simple spruce-oak wood three-story house in Fletcher's Point, overlooking North Village. At the 2022 Planet SMP Bestie Awards, dotogg was one of the largest winners - walking home with \_ awards.

### Contributions

dotogg's solo achievements include building the Zombified Piglin farms hub and autosorter, building the Fletcher's Point Zombie farm, and the planned Archery Guild. Their collaborative contributions include the Zombified Piglin farm itself, the Nether Highway, the Shopping District Community Center, and much of the construction in Fletcher's Point.

## Reception

dotogg's character has been acclaimed by critics over the course of the series. Their character progression from a frequent server member to cult organizer and lead administrator has been highly received. Additionally, the inclusion of sibling heartbytes to the narrative in Season 4 was also well received - as many felt it enhanced the personality and character of dotogg.
