Aberdeen

Aberdeen is a settlement placed North of Bigger's Bay, this settlement was started by Meepy (IGN: MeepySus), who had just joined the server, and was looking to build a home. Originally, Aberdeen was a humble house, but soon grew bigger as more players came, seeking shelter and refuge.

## The Early Days

Meepy joined the server, and was quickly introduced by Gonb to spawn and the surrounding areas. Meepy was looking for a location to build his house when he stumbles across a small piece of land jutting out of the mainland. Across the river, a small, unfinished hut. Meepy started laying the first foundations of what would become Aberdeen in a clearing across the river from this hut. He placed a sign that still stands there to this day: "Welcome to Aberdeen".

## The Battle of the Trees

During the beginning, there were no trees around Aberdeen, it was a clearing in a forest, however this quickly changed once FallOfBoots located Aberdeen, soon after discovering Aberdeen, Fall started playing saplings, there became too many, Trees were growing all around Aberdeen until you could barely move for trees. Meepy tried his best to chop them down but Fall was faster with placing the saplings. More and more trees grew until Savion found out, Meepy explained the situation to Savion and he quickly began fighting with Fall. Meepy simply wanted to have no fighting in the boundaries of Aberdeen, so he tried to drive the fight away while he was clearing up the trees. Eventually, after around ten minutes, the fighting ceased and the weapons were dropped. The battlefield lay silent apart from the twitter of birds.

Due to this battle, Meepy constructed a wall around Aberdeen to protect it.

## The Revolutionary Age

The day after The War of the Trees, Meepy, Gonb and Fall set aside their differences and banded together, as a crack team. The next morning, Meepy created the Aberdeen Declaration of Independence, which declared independence from the rest of the Savion SMP. A momentous occasion for Aberdeen, the work was not done yet.

### The expansion

Whilst waiting for Savion to come online, Meepy decided to expand the house. He designed the house to be a round shape (compared to the cramped 3x4 rectangular room Aberdeen was before), with a large spiral staircase dropping through a hole in the centre of the house. Work started. Meepy started painstakingly clearing out water, block by block until Fall came online with some sponges. These made the job considerably quicker. But there was still some way to go. All that Meepy had completed was the walls and clearing a space for the hole. Now to dig the hole.

Meepy and Fall worked on digging the hole for around twenty minutes, however there were many deaths. Once the hole was completed, they began walling the hole with wood and then working on the staircase.

With the staircase completed, the base was finished. And there still remains one chest and one crafting table in the exact same position as when they were first built.

#### The Courthouse

Savion is online. Meepy tells him to come over to Aberdeen. All of the members of Aberdeen are on. Meepy stands at his podium on the balcony with the water behind him. Gonb on the left, Savion in the middle, Fall on the right. Meepy starts reading the Declaration of Independence.

Savion did not accept the Declaration.

Meepy and Gonb did not like this, so they built a courthouse. They renovated the hut across the water into a small but effective courthouse.
