MegaCorp

Megacorp is a corporation founded by angrymeats, which currently operates, maintans, and improves the city's infrastructure, as well as controlling the bread monopoly, and a few select stores around the city. MegaCorp's history is long and deeply intertwined with the events of the server, and its goals have changed throughout time. Due to its notably long history and many different faces and goals, the history is split between Eras of the server.

## History

Early City Era

Megacorp was founded in this Era by angrymeats and LethalPineapple in order to promote capitalism in the city. The original idea was conceived because angrymeats had noticed that many SMPs die out very quickly after the ender dragon is killed (which it was recently), and that with public farms and zero competition, players would have no reason to keep playing and no reason to keep growing the city. Therefore, MegaCorp was to be a corporation that promoted capitalism and competition, and would set out to do this by creating a monopoly on food which angrymeats thought would spark other players to start their own capitalist projects.

The intial response to the corporation was heavily mixed, as players like pxpy who was heavily associated with angrymeats and LethalPineapple still not joining the corporation due to her belief in public access farms on an SMP. Other players like Chad\_Thunderpeen and Cole were heavy believers in the typical minecraft SMP governance, and were extremely upset by the idea of privatized farms on a server. This sparked Chad and Cole to start their own Communist Revolution. MegaCorp's response to the revolution was to double down on its capitalist message, and economically crush Chad and Cole by growing in wealth and power. MegaCorp soon constructed the first automatic bread farm, and began to sell its bread at a hiked price, while destroying other players' wheat farms in order to maintain their monopoly. This aggresive practice sparked the Communist Revolution to double down on its own communist agenda and they began giving out bread and other things for free as well as planting ambushes and attacks on MegaCorp members in the city. The Communist Revolution ambushed and killed LethalPineapple after Megacorp destroyed a secret wheat farm outside the city run by the Revolution. This escalted the distaste to a full on conflict, and both sides were at war over what would the city would become. The Communist Revolution fully moved its headquarters across the river from Downtown and began constructing works like bread farms and a gunpowder farm in order to subvert MegaCorp's latest monopoly attempt in gunpowder. Countless fights and skirmishes were fought between the groups, with both sides being about even in victories and losses. MegaCorp then decided that instead of fighting a costly war, it would simply block the Communist Revolution out of the city. MegaCorp constructed a vast bamboo wall along the river to keep the Communists out, and MegaCorp continued on its own plans of city domination towards its capitalist ideology. Around this time, the Endgame was added to the server, opening up even more powerful than vanilla weapons to the server players. The Communist Revolution, founded on the conservative ideas of running the server like any other SMP without privatized farms heavily opposed the non-vanilla Endgame system, and did not farm its powerful weapons. This would mark the turning point in the war, as MegaCorp, dedicated its resources to fighting these Endgame mobs and soon enough, got its hands on the server's first Quick Charge V crossbow, that could shoot arrows instantly. Using weapons like these, MegaCorp eventually began to win an increasing amount of victories in its battles with the Communist Revolution, who were still equipped with vanilla weapons due to their rejection of the new systems. MegaCorp then began one of the most expensive sabotage projects ever undertaken on the server, transporting an entire live Elder Guardian over 5 thousand blocks in the overworld to place right next to the Communist Revolution base, rendering everyone in the area unable to mine and thus destroying their capability to do anything in their headquarters. This would mark the end of the Revolution, as MegaCorp won a decisive victory, killing Cole in Downtown, and killing Chad\_Thunderpeen, who was using potions and vanilla armor, while MegaCorp's angrymeats and LethalPineapple was using the new Endgame gear and crushed the Communists without having to use any potions. The war had ended, and while Chad\_Thunderpeen finally gave in, and began farming the endgame it was too late, as others began to turn capitalist, seeing how MegaCorp's investment into buisnesses and farms led them to success. Players like pxpy began playing the endgame to get the now META endgame weapons, and the Communist Revolution eventually dissapated and fell apart. MegaCorp burned the sandstone castle that was the Communist Revolution's base and created the Bayou City Park over where their base was which still stands today.

Industrial Era Mid 2021

After crushing the Communist revolution, MegaCorp would turn its eyes onto creating a capitalist regime, and quickly constructed the MegaCorp tower, featuring the most advanced sorting system at the time on the server, and was decorated with the armor of the Communists who were defeated. A Netherite piston door was also constructed to show off wealth and power after its victory. MegaCorp opened bread stores around the city, and continued its exploitative buisness practices. A new player, JackhasFriendss joined the server and quickly joined MegaCorp and rose the ranks, using his own potato empire. MegaCorp would establish good relations with prominent skyscraper builder Ivanovo, while souring relations with players like Rriv and Fridge God who opposed the exploitative practices. Soon, Rriv would found Aquacorp in order to compete against MegaCorp's exploitative buisness practices. During this Era, Megacorp closed off the End XP Grinder and constructed a shittier zombie one in the city, forcing players like Comicspace to use the shitty grinder instead of the good one.

During this time, Rriv's newly founded Aquacorp began to rise in power, beginning to rival the existing top corporation, Megacorp. This sparked a large rivalry which led to increased farm production in order to gain more wealth and power, as well as both corporations increasing their land acquisition and building more impressive redstone farms, as well as lowering their prices on goods sold by both corporations. During this Era, guns were recently added to the game and were META, and this rivalry sparked the first large gunfights over property disputes that were amplified by the corporate rivalries. The rivalry never came to a formal conclusion, but Aquacorp constructed a significantly larger tower than Megacorp, and cornered the market with lower prices and more goods to sell over Megacorp, while Megacorp won most of the gunfight skirmishes in the battles. Aquacorp mainly represented a growing resentment of Megacorp's exploitative buisness practices, and Aquacorp recruited those who shared similar sentiment. Megacorp eventually backed off, and stopped its generally exploitative practices, becoming a corporation dedicated to city maintanence and improvement, and the rivalry dissapated.

The First Drought Era

MegaCorp became dedicated to improving city infrastructure, and while Aquacorp waned in relevance at this time, Megacorp did not step up to sell the goods once sold by Aquacorp. Megacorp helped repave roads and organized the highway into color coded lines to make the city more accessible. Megacorp constructed a railway network to access the End portal intended to replace the nether highway lost in the reset.

The First Revival Era

MegaCorp constructed a blaze XP grinder intended to replace the lost XP grinder in the End after the reset, and while it is pay to enter it is meant to be affordable by all players.
