Bamboo Service

## Overview

The Bamboo Service was founded at the beginning of Season 5, on the 30th of September 2020, based in Bangkok, in the Indo Empire, with a small crude bamboo farm just outside the city walls. It was established with the intention of spreading bamboo around the Globia server for free. The Bamboo Service is a one person operation, run and managed entirely by TheLetterH. The Bamboo Service is directly owned by the Bamboo Church, and holds the belief that all bamboo is sacred and its destruction should be avoided. The Bamboo Service offers several different services, primarily is the ordering and delivery of bamboo, but the Bamboo Service has also historically offered to cover a target building or area in bamboo through its planting service. The Bamboo Service also has had a free sample scheme since the first days of the company, in which TheLetterH will teleport to a random player on the server and give them a free sample of around 30 stacks of bamboo.

## The Cholan National Stadium Incident

The Bamboo Service was hired on the 1st of October 2020 during Season 5 by Seurator1527, the leader of the Cholan Empire, to fill the inside of the Cholan National Stadium in Sundarban City with Bamboo as a prank. The service agreed and it took a few hours, but eventually the stadium was fully filled with bamboo, making it the first bamboo planting the Bamboo Service was hired for. However upon the reportedly negative reaction of Icy, who was constructing the Stadium at the time, Bamboo Service was hired again to remove the bamboo, greatly increasing the stock of bamboo held by the Bamboo Service, and an apology was issued to Icy.

## Puerto Rico Plantations

The Puerto Rico colony of the Celtic Union was used as a base for the Bamboo Service to begin to build its first Bamboo Plantations. These Plantations were large greenhouse, type buildings, around 50 blocks long and 30 blocks wide, optimal for growing bamboo. This period saw much experimentation for how to best grow bamboo, and the optimised conditions were eventually decided for three plantations to be built, with plans for more, however the season ended before the number of plantations could be increased.

## Involvement in the Lotus Confederacy

In Season 6 the Bamboo Service operated within the Lotus Confederacy, and due to other commitments the number of free sample deliveries decreased, as well as overall orders for the season. However more planting took place in season 6 than any other Season, with several of these being hired and several for the pure joy of spreading bamboo.

The city of Shanghai also had the first bamboo store, and the flower shop in the Kyushu international market had a small Bamboo Service area.

## The Potato Project

The Potato Project is an undergoing project and is taking place during Season 7. In Season 7 the Bamboo Service is based in the island of Cyprus in Alekistan (S7), it currently has two Bamboo Plantations and has seen a revival of the Bamboo Service, in the number of orders and free samples.

The Potato Project is the nickname for the largest order that the Bamboo Service has ever undertaken; on the 31st of August Potatomanbrah placed an order for 12,000 stacks of bamboo, and while this technically violates the 100 stacks a week maximum policy of the Bamboo Service, they have decided to take the order regardless, and the policy has since been removed. Progress was slow, and a calculated 223 double chests were needed, with these being stored in a bunker on the island of Cyprus, known as the "Potato Project Bunker". A second bamboo plantation was built to facilitate this, however after Potato leaving Season 7 the order was cancelled.

## The Bambooing of the End

On the 13th of September the Bamboo Service decided that the End Spawn Island needed some greenery and decided to cover a small region in the centre with bamboo. This was generally appreciated by server members, except for one; DaddyCarmicheal. He tore down the bamboo and sold it, breaking two core principles of the bamboo service. This resulted in DaddyCarmicheal being declared an enemy of the Bamboo Service, and led to the occupation of Budapest, which can be read about here.

However this was not the end of the story, as shortly following this incident part of the bamboo was discovered to be destroyed again after being replaced. TheLetterH asked Laglini to identify the culprit, and was shocked by the admission that Laglini himself was the culprit. The bamboo was replaced and Laglini was named an enemy of the Bamboo Service. Following this, much harsh punishments for destroying the bamboo in the end were announced and the bamboo was replaced.

Despite these harsh threats the bamboo in the end was destroyed thrice more after being replaced. Each of these times were by DaddyCarmicheal who became the main enemy of the service. However it was impossible to properly punish him due to him only playing at times when TheLetterH was offline, this is why he is still at large.

## The Official Sponsorship of The Bamboo Church

In Season 8 the Bamboo Service was officially sponsored by the Bamboo Church, and will now deliver a passage of Bamboo Scripture with each delivery for Season 8. This comes with plans to build the first Bamboo Temple in Venezuela, along with the classic plantations to increase production.
