The Bigman Story

## Overview

The Bigman Story (also referred to as Bigman Lore) is a strange series of events that happened on the Tailvile server. These events revolved around two players: Mase and Finfin. This story has been verified by Mase himself, and involves griefing, theft, and chaos being brought upon the server. The story will be told here to show the wild nature of early Tailvile. None of the actions presented should be interpreted as heroic, noble, or acceptable, as it has been agreed that those who attempt to do similar things will most likely be banned.

## Part 1 – The Arrival

The story begins with the player Mase, who joined Tailvile in Season 12, on the 12th of January, 2021. Mase had a real-life friend (who will be referred to by his nickname “Finfin”). One day, Mase showed Finfin the 1 player sleep system that had been implemented in Tailvile. Finfin found it cool, and Mase decided to invite Finfin to play together.

Both players went into the Plains biome, and they headed towards mountains, where they would settle and make a cave called the “Margret Thatcher Secret Society”. They built it next to a small campsite, which they stole from.

A couple days later, Miner, the owner of Tailvile, asked Mase and Finfin if they wanted to join an up-and-coming town called Tailtown. There, they met many people, some of which Mase became close friends with, including Zed and Emily. Mase and Finfin made a house (which Mase described as “not the best house, but it functioned”). After being there for a couple days, they did some mild explosions with creepers, some trolling, and theft.

## Part 2 – Peace and Democracy

After a couple of days, the players of Tailtown thought that it would be a good idea to introduce a bit of democracy into the town. They decided they wanted to have a vote where they would decide on a leader. That evening, they had a vote and elected the new leader. The polls were close, with Finfin missing up by a couple of votes. A member named J3W became the new leader of Tailtown. Shortly after being elected as the president, he ordered the construction of a Whitehouse. Zed funded the materials of the Whitehouse, while Mase built it. According to Mase, all was good and well. The members of the town were assigned rolls, with Finfin being the 2nd in command.

## Part 3 – Government Overreach

The peace of Tailtown didn’t last forever. At some point, there was talk about introducing taxation on the members of the town, something that would have benefited J3W, but left a lot of the players, (especially the poorer players who couldn’t afford it) angry. J3W was later banned, and Miner decided that it was important to create a rule that banned taxing the citizens of a town.

## Part 4 – The Quiet Death of Tailtown

Because of the ban of J3W, Tailtown was left leaderless. A lot of uncertainty was left hanging in the air, and no one knew what to do. Mase decided, without any consultation with the other members, to inherit the Whitehouse, and he left his old house to Finfin. This was not a debated issue, and everyone continued working on the town in peace. Mase and Finfin began doing some griefing, but soon, the world save got corrupted, leading to a reset. In Season 13 of Tailvile. Mase, Zed, and Emily went off into the mountains and made a base. This didn’t last for long, as they all decided to apply for staff. They were promoted to staff, and decided to play with the rest of the staff members.

## Part 5 – The Mole

After that, Finfin joined a town (name unknown). A large project the members of the town had was a huge cobblestone castle and town. Unbeknownst to the members, Finfin had joined as a mole. Mase slipped him a couple of explosives, and with these, he pulled off an attack on the main storage. While carrying out the second attack, Finfin was caught, resulting in his ban. Mase’s involvement was not brought to light at this point in time, and as such, Mase avoided being banned.

## Part 6 – The Bigman

It was later decided by Mase and Finfin to pull a one-day prank where Finfin would pretend to be a character they dubbed as “Bigman”. Finfin (using the Bigman moniker) told many stories of his grand actions, including pushing Julie (a fictional character) in a pond. This was a mostly harmless prank, but soon, Finfin started just trolling people. He then changed his name, in the process revealing his identity. Mase and Finfin got into an argument after Mase was given the role to ban him, on the basis of avoiding a ban with an alt account.

## Part 7 – The Truth Comes Out

After Finfin was banned, he messaged Paradoxx on Discord, and told him about the bombs Mase had given him. Mase told Paradoxx that he felt that if Finfin was banned for the grief, so should he, since he was an accomplice. Since the rules of Tailvile were much more lax back in the day, Paradoxx just responded with, “I ain’t gonna ban you LMAO”. Mase not only remained a member, but he remained a staff member, and went on the be one of the more entertaining players Tailvile has seen. On the other hand, Finfin chose to distance himself from Tailvile as much as possible. However, his legacy remains, with Mase and other members still laughing at the more chaotic nature of early Tailvile.
