MatCat873

MatCat873, also known as Matthew, is a player on the SMP who is well-known for building Fort Town and his affiliation with Billuminati2006 and ConstantBeet418. Despite working closely with the two, Matthew was not involved in the murder of Adonis, but rather the opposite, defending him from Constant. He joined right when the SMP became public to everybody. He has maintained a neutral stance and positive reputation on the realm. Despite his disappointment with everybody moving away from spawn, Matthew has remained enthusiastic about the SMP. He is described as lawful neutral.

When Ashton revealed the GangSMP to the WhatsApp group chat, Matthew was very excited. When Matthew spawned on Phoenix for the first time, AshtonD273 gifted him an iron helmet. He then went off to build Fort Town, the first player-built town in the SMP's history.

Matthew took the first full picture of Big Letter Y.

During the attack on Adonis, Matthew helped defend the dog from Constant, taking it more seriously than Billuminati did. Matthew and Billuminati hid Adonis in a randomly dug hole next to Tericall's house. Sadly, Billuminati decided to betray Ashton and tell Constant where Adonis was, handing him a stone sword to slay the dog with. Matthew was unaware of this, believing Adonis was safely hidden.

MatCat873 was on Big Letter Y when AshtonD273 and Scissors13 began griefing it. He watched as AshtonD273 placed lava on top of the tower, before attempting to put out some of the flames. He got rid of the lava with a bucket of water. Once he realised the severity of the situation, he jumped off the tower and ran off to take a picture of Big Letter Y as it was burning down, not wanting any affiliation with the two attackers.

Following the outbreak of The First War, Matthew logged off and took some time to think about what his next course of action would be. He concluded that his plan was to construct a Center of trade for the server. The Phoenix Trade Center.

Once he had confirmed that this was the correct course of action, Matthew set out to find an ideal location to build the Phoenix Trade Center, hoping for a location not too far or near anyone else’s base. In order to prevent too much information being spread, and allowing a convenient method of trade throughout the server.

He built the Phoenix Trade Center only for it to exist for a few seconds, before Frok the Devious blew it up, following this, MatCat873 repaired the trade Center and went home.

After an intermission, MatCat873 set his sights on an economical jumpstart for Fort Town. And so he called in a favour from Billuminati2006, who gave him some jungle saplings and cocoa beans as reparations for destroying the Phoenix Trade Center. MatCat873 was also granted permission to trade with the Villagers in Y Town, provided the resources used were his.

MatCat873 then paid Y Town a visit, checking the trades of the villagers, prompting him to re-brand Fort Town into a more “Multi-Harvest Crop” town (That meaning Carrots, Beetroots, Potatoes, and the like) as opposed to farming Wheat and Cows, as he was advised to by Billuminati2006 because, as he said, “pigs are gay”. (Note that Billuminati2006 said this while owning a pig farm).

MatCat873’s following expansion of Fort Town included, but was not limited to, a second animal pen, a cocoa bean farm, a melon farm, two villagers, and a pumpkin farm, and also led to the creation of the Fort Town flag.

MatCat873 also assisted in the construction of the silk line and Forged The Jake Pick.

After this, MatCat873 spent his days farming in fort Town with the help of Two farmer Villagers, Mr Clean and Walter White. The economy was thriving and MatCat873 was able to fully enchant his armor and weapons in preparation for the ender dragon fight.

The Server was ready and waiting to enter the end, with AshonD, GraveRacer, and Tericall at one end portal, and MatCat and Billuminati at another. Billuminati fell into the end portal pre-maturely and MatCat followed him in to help fight the dragon in case that proved necessary. But the two were left stranded just away from the end island. They bridged across and built the “Fyt end estate” together. The rest of the server then entered the end, and the dragon fell quickly to MatCat, Billuminati, and AshtonD’s Ruthless attacks.

Once the end was available to explore, MatCat took off running with Billuminati, the pair were separated somehow and decided to split up to cover more ground, MatCat then quickly found the first elytra on the server, and returned to Billuminati so they could enchant it. Billuminati then gave MatCat a handful of Firework rockets to allow for easier end travel. MatCat went on to find 3 more Elytras. One of which he gave to Billuminati, another to GraveRacer, and the third he kept for himself as a spare.

MatCat and Billuminati then set out to build Fyt Town, an economical paradise and wonder of the world, or so it should have been. Shortly after it’s founding, Fyt Town was put under siege by the Wither, ConstantBeet immediately fled the Scene leaving MatCat to defend Fyt Town alone, while awaiting assistance from Billuminati who was unable to hear the calls for help, bearing his Netherite Axe and Fort Town Shield, MatCat engaged the Wither in Combat, their battle was long and harsh, MatCat managed to damage the wither severely, but the effects of the Wither had taken a toll on him. MatCat fell in combat with the Wither, losing: His left arm, His right leg, his right eye, and his wings. MatCat somehow survived his injuries, and was saved when his noble steed Sisyphus charged through the chaos to carry MatCat to safety, unfortunately, when they were stopped to recover from what had happened, MatCat noticed a thorn in Sisyphus’s side as he was crafting a prosthetic arm and leg. This thorn was from a wither rose. MatCat immediately pulled the thorn out of his horse, seemingly saving him, but the damage was done, and as the pair were crossing a river, Sisyphus fell weak and sank below the water’s Surface, never to rise again.
