The Block

Around 15 days after joining the server, Insultron decided Valhalla and The Varden needed the match to turn into a triple threat. Whilst attending to his wheat farm he came up to re-purpose his mine-shaft as what would be now 7 minute mine kart ride to Project Alpha.

This would be one of many block outposts to be built. As they are yet to be discovered, I will not include them into the wiki as of yet.

## **Project Alpha**

This would be the start of everything. The **Block** started out as an underground market for safe trading and after some time the inner circle of the group started a base together.

The Undercover Trade Federation (UTF) was born along side The Chopping Block (TCB). These would become sub organisations under the faction of **Block.** Thanks toCoG the new creed was kick started via donations of resources.

Originally to get to the outpost, you would have to take a railroad, under an old farm to a Greek esque architecture This was mainly to be an agricultural hub as well as a meeting ground for trading and later to be used as a indoctrination zone for greys.

Greys would then prove themselves to the faction and move up the list to different outposts created by **Block.**

Warvan tried to become a member of **Block**, realizing Project Alpha was a training ground, he griefed it. Accidentally causing more work for greys as trial for **Block.**

## **The City**

The City was a successor to Outpost alpha positioned closer to factions almost as a half way to have easy access for trading with members whilst remaining under the radar. It hosted an underwater section along side brick and stone blocks, filled with aquatic fish and a sky base.

Originally the skybase was not intended, however when it was discovered by Insultron that most of his quartz had gone missing and placed into the sky with a working redstone elevator he said, ''cba tbh lmao''

### **The Fall of The City**

When The City had fallen Kiddu set out to find the faction a new place to base further away from spawn but most of the members where not motivated to play or where busy with other projects. Because of this Insultron told Kiddu, there was no point yet to fly out and seek a new destination as the man power for a base needed for an outpost was not yet ready.

Kiddu then flew out with an elytra, waited for two days after being told this and then complained block was inactive. Frustrated that he was ahead of schedule, he then applied to The Varden whilst not telling Julius at the time.

Only a few members joined the new base and just as Tori and Insultron had arrived to Kiddu's location, Kiddu left the faction because he got accepted into The Varden. Julius left the server soon thereafter as he was not accepted into The Varden like Kiddu which then caused Julius to give up hope in the server as he made a castle out in the wilderness out of random **block**s.

Insultron then posted new co-ords for the base to be constructed in their discord and the construction of Project 0 began.

Soosh wasn't planning on greifing or raiding the base from the beginning but according to Anihia himself he "couldn't resist when they put so much stuff in their chests". Anihia ripped out every hopper from the base and stuffed shulkers full of valuables.

The base was called "The City" and in December 2019 it was discovered by Anihia, aka Soosh.

## **Project 0**

Project 0 was made inside an underground ravine with bridges going across, base members made their own apartments inside the ravine and set up a zombie and skeleton grinder. Some caves close to the ravine was dug out downwards creating a cathedral like cave which had a lake at the very bottom.

Some players in the faction spotted player tags at the base and so the factions activity decreased even further. Some members set out to make bases on their own. This base is yet to be found by players.
