The Crusaders of The Anvil

The banner

The Crusaders of The Anvil, better know as The Crusaders, is a group created by Michi\_games after he invited IamDavanna to his base in early to mid-February. It was originally meant to be a chill group that would base together, but it quickly got caught on in a conflict.

The group wasn't very long-lived, but it had some active members and it was for a while the second biggest group(after Team V).

## History

After Bedrock Valley 2 got found and the leader of it, 8zi\_, became inactive, Michi\_games went out to make a new base. At around 20K out he started to build The Holy Land which would become the first base of The Crusaders. The day after he started he invited IamDavanna to his base. Michi and Davanna had talked to each other on the chat a lot and Davanna was also a member of Bedrock Valley 1 so he was trustable. After around a week of basing together, they started to feel like they should invite more members to their base, so they made a group: The Crusaders of The Anvil, the name was kinda a joke to another group at the time: The Cult(back then nicknamed The Cauldron Cult).

***Fun fact: they founded the group while they were renovating one of Qwibbert's griefed bases which they found close to theirs. So the Crusaders weren't even founded in a Crusader base.***

The first member who joined their group was 8zi\_ who became active again later that day ( he apparently was inactive because his computer broke). Simultaneously with 8zi\_, Lauren998, who was invited by Davanna, joined. At first, there was a bit of conflict because 8zi\_ wanted to become the leader of the group because he was the leader of both Bedrock Valley 1 & 2. So he did some stuff Michi and Davanna didn't like, for example inviting a new player to the team without permission: 2006DW. Eventually, 8zi\_ accepted Michi as the leader, and 2006DW was allowed to stay. A bit later, two new members joined(both friends of 8zi\_): ItsChaBoyDavid and ENTIPY303(Perstrix).

After this, things seemed to take a turn for the worst. When some of the members(including 8zi\_) were on their way to The Holy Land, they got ambushed by hausemaster2(CursedWarLock) and some other members of The Bromads, a new group which was very aggressive and volatile. This made 8zi\_ mad and he trash-talked Hause a lot in chat, Davanna and 2006DW both decided to infiltrate in the Bromads and become spies. During this time, Michi announced he was going to be inactive for a few days. While he was gone, Lauren started to attack 2006DW and Davanna for fun, but they got annoyed and killed him. Even though Davanna went to Spawn to bring him stuff, Lauren still got mad and told Hause the coordinates of The Holy Land. He immediately griefed it to spite 8zi\_ for trashtalking him.

After this incident, Lauren got kicked from the team and basically became inactive. 2006DW also became inactive, but he was still active on discord and spied on the Bromads(he found out one of their outpost coords). Later, Michi found out 2006DW was a double agent who spied both for the Bromads and The Crusaders, so he got kicked too. Davanna stopped spying on the Bromads not long after The Holy land got griefed because he got sick of it. When Hause found out Davanna was a spy, he was royally pissed at him and Michi and was intent on destroying the Crusaders.

When Michi came back, he immediately founded a new base with Davanna, but it got griefed on the same day by Stinits, a Bromad member, who also killed and bedtrapped Davanna. He got the coordinates from 2006DW. After this, Michi founded Sacra Terra, the base which is always associated with The Crusaders and was their base for most of the group's lifespan.

Everything went well for a while. Sacra Terra became a big base, they found an ally in Team V and the Bromads started to die, Hause paid Michi games war reparations in exchange for a truce, this was the end of The Bromad War.

Eventually, the group died on their height. It got killed by The Cult out of all people. In early March, Michi invited Fauxreel420 to the base after they had talked for a few days, and he seemed trustable. Fauxreel was a Cult member, but the Cult was inactive at this time and The Crusaders never had any conflict with them before, Davanna did give one of the Cult's base coordinates to Stinits (without Michi knowing this), who griefed the base. Fauxreel immediately griefed Sacra Terra once he got there as revenge for his base.

The group didn't have to die after their base got griefed, a tempbase was made, but the leaders started to feel like the group's time had come. Davanna was the first to leave, he left because he felt it hard to be a part of the group/base because he was in another time zone. A few days later, Michi left the group to join Team V, he officially disbanded it. 8zi\_ started a new group with the other members: Team M, but the team didn't last long. Nowadays, Michi, Perstix, and 8zi\_ are still active players(not all in the same group), with Davanna being on sometimes.

The Crusaders weren't a useless group. It made players like Michi\_games known, it built some bases, and they were a counter against The Bromads' volatile and aggressive behavior. To this day, Most members still have close ties.

## Relations

When the group was still around, they got some good relations with Team V, mostly because they both hated the Bromads. It all started when Michi helped vRoyschouten, who was stuck at spawn without an echest, and when they both raided a Bromad's outpost. Team V gave them some stuff and vRoyschouten joined the group with his alt. Before the Bromads were created, Davanna also had some trading ties with Stinits.

They had bad relations with The Bromads, which were their enemies almost immediately after the group got founded. The two traitors: Lauren998 and 2006DW were both and the kill on sight list too.

They had neutral relations with all other players, except for the Cult at the end of the group's lifespan.
