Starfruit Season 1

Starfruit Season 1 refers to everything that happened on StarfruitRP prior to the server wipe on July 30th, 2021. The season started on May 2nd, 2021, making it last 89 days. The season is divided into multiple eras, with various eras occurring for different lengths. These eras are loosely determined and ease into each other, so some events can be determined in two separate eras. However, it is the general consensus that there were around 3-5 eras. This is a rough calculation, as most history has not been documented to the exact date.

## First Era: The Founding Countries

### Founding

Upon creating the server, administrators Jane and Beriff invited players to the server. Several players joined, and initially not a whole lot happened.

### Oblivion

After joining the server, a player named Zunaka formed his own nation of Oblivion on an island northwest of spawn. The island was large, and he settled on the east side. Many of the players on the server at the time joined him, and they built up a large settlement.

### Union of Communist States of Modorisk

Another player, Acquaint, or Alex, joined the server around the same time as Zunaka and decided to form his own nation. He then formed the Union of Communist States of Modorisk, or UCSM, with Modorisk being the capital. Though Alex intended for the union to become a collection of communist states, it never got that big, nor did the country become truly communist as Alex and his members became inactive.

### Alliances and Battles

Upon noticing his new neighbors south of him, Zunaka asked Alex if they would like to form a non-aggression pact. Alex agreed, and the two signed the pact, making them allies.

However, this angered many who were not in the countries, as they were considered anarchists. Hence, the first anti-alliance group was formed, though not much was known about them except for the leader, who had better gear than most people, with iron armor (which was considered rich at the time). The anti-alliance group would commonly raid Oblivion at night, when the members were asleep. With UCSM not being very active, Zunaka could only count on his members to defend. The group would also raid while they were online, starting the first battles. This made Zunaka angry and he would not log on unless they were being raided.

The anti-alliance group would disappear and over time would be replaced by people known as "Goblins". Zunaka continued to only play when they were on and would constantly ask his people for things. Over time, the Goblins disappeared but the people of Oblivion grew more upset with Zunaka as the kingdom slowly crumbled.

### New Players Join

More players would join Starfruit, many of whom going on to make history. Among these players were Kezza, Raymond Hoffner, Y4N, TNTOcelotYT, and Stedjof. These players were some of the first to journey into the mainland and create new stories that would last across eras.

## Second Era: The Mainland Migration

### The Oblivion Civil War

With the first anti-alliance group and Goblins raiding Oblivion, the people grew more upset with Zunaka. Zunaka would never appear online and would constantly ask his members for things. Later, Zunaka would offline raid, though this was not discovered until later.

When Jane and Beriff were building the city of Richport for Oblivion, Zunaka felt threatened by people leaving and threatened to blow up property belonging to Jane. Her and Beriff subsequently seceded from Oblivion and formed Axia, which set its capital at Richport. Zunaka then tried to fight them, however he died. He would later go inactive and get kicked from the server. Axia remained on Oblivion Island and stayed neutral for some time. Later, Axia would become the nation of Senvia.

### Exploring the Mainland

For some time, the main continent had been somewhat unexplored. The islands of the Oblivion Sea had been charted for the most part, however the only people who had really seen the main continent were the citizens of UCSM, which had gone inactive and disappeared just as Oblivion did. The mainland surrounded the Oblivion Sea, so all that was known about it was that it was very large.

Shortly before Oblivion had fallen, a large surge of players had joined the server. Many of these players had intentions to go into the heartland and start their own flourishing countries.

### The Second Wave

The second wave of nations happened shortly before the Fall of Oblivion. However, many of these nations were just wandering groups of people journeying through the mainland. Eventually, groups such as Fellbourgh would emerge as aggressive wanderers with intentions to take over the world. Fellbourgh, led by Kezza, was full of scared players and scared many. They also had a large group and managed to get ahead quickly by getting friends to join them.

In the swamps of the South Oblivion Sea, a player named Y4N settled down and formed the Urzykian Union. However, this country never got very popular.

Near the Urzykian Union, a player named Raymond Hoffner created a house and invited some of his friends to play. They constructed several buildings and named their city "Königsberg", making their country modeled after the German Empire of the late 1800's and early 1900's.

A player named Nexinator formed the People's Democracy of Tauros, however not much is known about them.

South further from Königsberg, a man named MrDerpus created the country of Vernfel, which was modeled after Medieval European city-states.

A kid named Flightless Birds said he formed the city of Bevingad, but to this day it is not known whether or not this place even existed.

Another player named TNTOcelotYT began construction on a large pyramid city in the eastern desert, and this city would hold significant importance later.

### The Starfruit Cold War Begins

In the wake of Fellbourgh's announcement of their presence, the chilling message left many wondering about the future of the server. Many of the more dedicated nations began to stockpile weapons and build more influential states. Seeing this, Raymond Hoffner decided to make a coalition of nations that would enforce war law and stop groups from taking over the entire server.

Hoffner started by letting players he did not know joining the nation, which made it quickly become the largest nation on the server by population. He then named it the "Eisenreich", or Iron Empire, crowning himself as the Kaiser. He then asked several countries if they would like to join him in the creation of the Continental Survey Corps, the coalition he was thinking about.

However, there was a fatal mistake in the creation of the corps. Hoffner would ask Oblivion to join, even though Oblivion was going through its civil war and fall. Shortly after the creation of the corps, it would go from 7 nations to 4 nations as Oblivion crumbled, Bevingad disappeared, and a group in it left the server. The announcement of its existence prompted a month-long cold war with Fellbourgh, only prevented from getting hot by the peace pact between the Eisenreich and Fellbourgh. This would transition the server into the Third Era.

## Third Era: Growth of Nations

### The Countries Make Contact

When the nations started to advance and more players obtained powerful resources, players began traveling through the Nether frequently to obtain valuables from the strange, hellish dimension. By traveling through, players found out that they could calculate distance in the Nether in relation to the Overworld (the actual world where they lived). Players eventually built roads in the Nether between locations since the Nether was a lot smaller than the Overworld. Soon, nations began making more contact with each other than they knew would happen.

With this, tensions escalated as many countries thought their privacy was being violated. When Fellbourgh made contact with Bevingad, they began to frequently raid the people who lived there. This started a controversial crusade from Kezza to hunt down Flightless Birds, the leader of Bevingad. Flightless also found the Eisenreich, and would commonly go and try to mess with the members living in the country.

### Countries Become Empires

Many countries grew in size to a large degree. When smaller countries such as Tauros and Bevingad disappeared, the balance of power shifted from being multiple small countries to large empires. Flightless and the people of Bevingad migrated to the desert, where they joined TNTOcelotYT in the pyramid city. Settlers from the northern mushroom isles of the Eternal Mushroom Empire also joined TNT, forming the Eternal Sands Empire (ESE). this empire would become the controlling force of the entire east and would quickly become one of the most powerful groups in the server.

Axia eventually was abandoned and Jane and Beriff settled in the north, forming the country of Senvia. Senvia was the first country to start building multiple cities and settlements, which would become a thing for other groups. Several players joined Senvia.

The Eisenreich experienced troubles from Flightless for some time, even getting raided by him and his new friends in the Eternal Sands Empire. This caused large tensions between the two groups, and many countries remained neutral. However, this did not escalate into war as the Eternal Sands Empire was also experiencing troubles from Fellbourgh. When the players Barley and Neeester joined the country, they offered to start their own city, Gerstenfeld.

Vernfel and the Urzyikian Union (now known as the Soviet Union) grew by land, but never obtained a large population throughout their existence. They eventually formed alliances with Senvia and Eisenreich.

### Nationalism and the Second Cold War

When ESE started to raid Eisenreich in larger numbers, the Eisen people began to grow continually nationalistic and angry at the desert-dwellers across the world. When the Kaiser began getting more and more requests to fight back, he announced that he would be giving the first State of the Kingdom Address.

On May 28th, Kaiser Raymond Hoffner gave the address to many members of the Eisenreich. At the end, he urged the members to pick up their weapons and march to Pyramid City for a raid on the Eternal Sands Empire. However, the raid proved ineffective and was met by a counterraid by ESE. After this, they signed a peace treaty.

The treaty would prove largely ineffective and players in ESE began to raid Eisenreich without telling TNTOcelotYT. Fellbourgh continued to frequently raid ESE, fueling their anger that they displaced onto Eisenreich. However, Eisenreich never struck back, believing it would make the war hot. During this time, they formed the Western Alliance Pact, with countries from the west. These countries were Eisenreich, Soviet Union, Vernfel, and Senvia.

### The Eisenreich Civil War

For the last month, Eisenreich had been extending its borders westward- however, this did not account for colonies. At this point, Gerstenfeld and the Nordic colonies had not been considered full cities.

The player called Neeester of Gerstenfeld had had a history of getting accused of crimes, which caused a rift between him and the other players in the country. After being accused of threatening to scam and raid ESE without the Kaiser's consent, Neeester got angry and left the country so he would not have to deal with a trial. This caused his partner at Gerstenfeld, Barley, to get upset and damage the castle called Fort Auroch at Königsberg.

Greatly regretting his actions, Barley let the Kaiser kill him. However, ESE was angered by this as Barley was a trade asset to them, and they struck back. This prompted an angry speech by Hoffner and him alongside TNTOcelotYT re-evaluated the treaty, announcing their intentions to punish those who offend it.

Afterwards, Kaiser Hoffner began mapping the world in order to establish borders. Eisenreich extended its borders and became a western buffer between the north and the south, as well as a central point for travel across the entire world.

### Eternal Sands-Fellbourgh War

During this time, Eternal Sands had been taking hits from another enemy- Fellbourgh. Fellbourgh's leader, Kezza, had a strong disliking to the members of ESE and had intentions to destroy it. Though it was never an official war, the series of raids conducted by both countries is often considered to be an unofficial war.

### New Countries

The general consensus is that the transition to the next era started with the arrival of new powers. During the Second Cold War, many new players joined the server. Though some filled the ranks of existing nations, several formed their own.

X, later known as Frosthaven, would build a settlement near Eternal Sands. Later, they would ally with Fellbourgh and help take out the country. They would then move south of Eisenreich and secure themselves as a formidable force.

Estrar was a state in the south, near Frosthaven. They joined the Western Alliance Pact right when they joined.

The Noob Empire would establish itself furthest away from spawn, but then building a city near Fellbourgh. The people, called Noobs, would religiously follow and worship their leader, Oddiment. They also became a powerful force in the server.

## Fourth Era: Climax of Power

### War Criminals

When the Eisenreich and Eternal Sands Empire reforged their contract, the new treaty promised that citizens who violate it would get real punishment rather than several angry players. This angered several players, the main culprit being Flightless.

Flightless wanted to continually raid Eisenreich to no resistance, since it kept him actively interested in the server. When he raided Eisenreich directly after the treaty was re-evaluated, both countries decided to lock him up. They went to the Continental Survey Corps for help, and two players decided to build a prison. These players were DapperBlaze and Beriff. Dapper built a large prison in Königsberg for Flightless, yet it was incomplete and never finished. However, Beriff completed his prison which was much more effective.

When Flightless realized what the prison was and how long he would need to spend in it, he pleaded to be set free under the condition that he would never raid the Eisenreich again. This was accepted and Flightless stayed true to his terms.

Soon after, DapperBlaze got in an argument with the members of Eternal Sands. In the argument, Dapper had killed TNTOcelotYT several times. Upon going to Vernfel, where Dapper was the prime minister, they only found MrDerpus, the king (this was done without the consent of TNT). They proceeded to threaten him.

MrDerpus organized a negotiation, where he would protect Vernfel's interest. The three attackers, Guv, Flightless, and AppleTurtle, negotiated on behalf of the Eternal Sands Empire. Beriff, the King of Senvia, Vernfel's ally, attended the meeting to help MrDerpus. Jane, the Queen of Senvia, also came to act as a neutral party. During the argument, negotiations got heated and after finding out that the player "nerdetteinabox" was indeed Guv, he was banned on the spot. This prompted AppleTurtle and Flightless to attack Beriff, and MrDerpus tried to help him. However, due to less powerful armor, Beriff and MrDerpus were quickly defeated. Jane escaped and the two killed respawned in the city. Jane and Beriff fled while they could only watch as AppleTurtle ruthlessly continued to kill MrDerpus until he got bored.

Upon waking up, TNTOcelotYT saw what occurred and was dragged into a CSC negotiation. In the negotiation, he represented the Eternal Sands Empire, Jane and Beriff represented Senvia, and MrDerpus represented Vernfel. Raymond Hoffner represented the CSC's will. They disagreed on several things, particularly MrDerpus and TNTOcelotYT. TNTocelotYT thought that the killing of MrDeêpus was reasonable considering DapperBlaze's killing of TNTOcelotYT, and MrDerpus thought it was not. However, the two agreed that the killing of Beriff was unreasonable and agreed to pay reparations for it. Flightless, Guv, AppleTurtle, and DapperBlaze were each punished for their crimes by being stripped away of their power and having to pay.

Angered severely by this, DapperBlaze proceeded to blow up a large portion of Vernfel City. This was met with heavy criticism even though it was all stuff he built, and he was punished by the CSC. However, Dapper would go inactive soon after when he left Vernfel.

### The Noob Empire

For some time, a group of nomad players had been wandering around the server. These players were Bryan, Epicc, CurryButNot, and OddimentMC. The group had believed Oddiment to be a divine figure and dedicated their time on the server to acting to his will. They each wore skins resembling "Noobs" from the videogame "Roblox" and used the same color scheme.

After settling in the far northeast, past the border of the charted map, this group formed the Noob Empire. However, it would soon reset its main point of interest to a large island in the southeast of the charted map near Fellbourgh. There, they grew a resource stockpile so large it gave them the strength to conquer any country they wished. However, this possibility did not come to fruition.

One day, the Tsar of the Soviet Union, Y4N, told the members of the Noob Empire that he did not believe in the divinity of Oddiment. Bryan and Epicc subsequently told Y4N that they would give him 24 hours to prepare for a raid. When Kaiser Raymond Hoffner saw this, he told his men to prepare to help their neighbors at the Soviet Union. Hoffner had placed a nation block on Western Nations and had sworn to defend countries like the Soviet Union.

The next day, Noob Empire did not raid the Soviet Union. However, the Eisenreich forces and Y4N still went and attempted to raid their island, losing in a devastating defeat.

### Vernfel and the Eisenreich

After DapperBlaze blew up a large portion of Vernfel, MrDerpus was angry and at a loss of solutions. The King went to Kaiser Raymond Hoffner of Eisenreich, his neighbor. He offered to give him Vernfel, and Hoffner agreed to take the region. MrDerpus was made the Archduke of Vernfel.

After several weeks, MrDerpus was contacted by Beriff. Beriff offered a union between Senvia and Vernfel that would make the two countries one under a single joint government. Vernfel left the Eisenreich, and joined Senvia to create the Vernfel-Senvia Union.

### The Fall of the Eternal Sands Empire

For its entire existence, the Eternal Sands Empire had been through battle after battle as several other groups shared a mutual disliking of them. On one end, Kezza and Fellbourgh would consistently attack them in raids. On the other hand, Mateo and Frosthaven would also frequently attack them, leaving Pyramid City war-torn. Not only that, but members of the empire had frequently gone to Eisenreich for small raids, which deteriorated trust from other neutral nations.

When the player Guv made his own server, he told his friends in the Eternal Sands Empire to join. Most of them joined, and Guv was banned for advertising another server. Nearly all the players in Eternal Sands left, and TNTOcelotYT gave the land to Raymond Hoffner. It was then renamed to "Ewigersand".

## Fifth Era: Victory and Death

### Countries Commit to Democracy

In order to prevent another crisis like what happened all the way back in Oblivion, Jane and Beriff agreed to make Senvia a constitutional monarchy. They implemented a senate as well as laws, a constitution, and an economy. While Eisenreich remained a nation that led by example based on power and population, Senvia led as a server example on how governments and economies should work. When Vernfel joined them and they became the Vernfel-Senvia Union, this constitutional monarchy persisted.

Soon after acquiring Ewigersand, Kaiser Raymond Hoffner realized that if he were to leave the server, nobody would know what to do with his country and it would fall into chaos. Seeing that he was going to school soon and would not be able to be as active, he decided to reform his whole country.

Over the next two days, the Eisenreich was reformed into a union of several states under a democratic government. It also contained an economy. It was now the Vereinigte Eisen Föderation, or United Iron Federation. The VEF was a federation of five states: West Eisenland, the frontier land the Eisenreich had owned in the west, East Eisenland, the capital state where Königsberg was located, Nordeisenland, where the colonies had used to be, Estrar, which had joined the country, and Ewigersand.

For several days, elections were ran and Raymond Hoffner became the president of the VEF. He then appointed PineappleJesus to be his vice president. Afterwards, two new states joined: Mons Patriam and Violetlyn. At this point, the power of the VEF extended across the mapped world.

### Oddimentism's Rise to Power

While countries grew to immense sizes, the Noob Empire had been building up its arsenal, waiting to defend itself in a time of war. However, it never saw itself actually go to war, not counting the raid on it by the Western Forces. Their worship of their leader had gone unnoticed by many, until one day Oddiment logged on while Raymond Hoffner was also on.
