Bucky

## Bucky2015

Bucky2015 is one of the biggest scammers and retards in the server's history. He first joined in mid January 2021, and quickly rose to become a well known player on the server. He has been quite productive on the server, having started multiple groups (all of which have failed miserably) and has scammed many. He is also well known for his joke economic system, Buckynomics, which is all about stealing from both the rich and the poor to ultimately make yourself very wealthy. Essentially capitalism on steroids with a dash of theft. Pretty much everything Bucky has is a result of some kind of scam or trickery. His ningots? Stolen. His gear? Bought with stolen ningots and stolen. His gold rank? Not stolen, but he got some random guy to buy it for him so they could base together. They never based together.

## Beginnings

### Spawn and Early Travels

After logging on the server it took Bucky about 2 days to get out of spawn. After escaping spawn, traveling a bit, and dying a few times, he finally decided to build a small base in a desert 60k from spawn. Here he made himself some diamond gear. After about a week at this base he abandoned it and traveled to the -x world border. He left a sign at the world border, and the proceeded to make a castle about 3k blocks away from the border. He built a bit at the base but eventually was killed by phantoms and was sent back to spawn. He has never returned to the castle base and has no clue if it still there or not. It's like 10 months old so probably not.

### Brotherhood of New Players

One day while back at spawn, Bucky private messaged a guy in chat named Cahlman. Him and Cahlman decided to form a group together and called it the Brotherhood of New Players (even though Bucky had been playing for like a month at this point). Eventually another guy named LenisP joined, and the three got to work on building a base together. They ended up building a base in the side of a hill 24k from spawn on an island. This base would be raided later on and so they made another one farther out. They began to recruit many new members, including people like Munky and Swagger. They also recruited GlaceonGuy and Rhonor into the group because Bucky thought that having big shots in his group would help it succeed. Eventually the group had over 30 members. Some of the members had bad intentions, and a lot of trolling occurred on the group discord. The discord was even nuked at one point. Eventually LenisP and Cahlman met up with Bucky and told him that there were too many trolls in the group and that they needed to kick out many of the members because many of the members were causing trouble. Bucky refused, saying that trouble was necessary to form strong bonds and make a great group. Because of this the group broke apart in spectacular fashion, with Swagger being ordered by LenisP to kill Bucky while he was afk at the base. The group immediately broke apart after this, with LenisP and Swagger splitting off to start their own group (Cahlman might have been in this one as well I can't remember). This group never really took off, and LenisP and Cahlman are currently inactive.

### Post-BNP Era

Following the sad break break up of BNP, Bucky decided to become a nomad, building quite a few bases within 50k of spawn. One of the bases he built was called Bucktown. It was built from the remnants of an underground BNP outpost. Bucky advertised this base and its coords in chat(kind of a stupid move)because he wanted to build a public village with some people. FrontierJustice of the Grey saw this ad and traveled to the base. He gave Bucky a diamond godset and built a house at Bucktown before leaving. After FrontierJustice left Bucky began construction on what was to be a large cathedral. However this was never finished as Bucktown was griefed the next day because of it being pretty close to spawn and its coords being public.

### The Beginning of Buckynomics and Bucky's First Scam

Around this time Bucky started contacting scammer and players on the Purity Trade Hub and told them of a plan he had. This plan was to sell godsets and other expensive items for dirt cheap in order to lower the prices astronomically. This plan quickly went public after Emcee and others leaked it to the Trade Hub moderators, but it did gain some traction and support from people like YeahItsRico, who thought it was genius (probably joking). After this someone (can't find it) made a joke about Bucky having developed an economic system called Buckynomics, which he was using to gain vast amounts of wealth. Of course this wasn't true, but Bucky played along because he thought it was very funny. Shortly after this whole plan thing Bucky committed his first scam. The first person Bucky scammed was Yoavik, who was scammed for some netherite ingots. Bucky wasn't as ballsy with his scams back then, so he didn't try to fly away or kill his victim. He instead just logged out. After Bucky logged out, Yoavik dug a hole to bedrock underneath Bucky's logout spot. About 10 minutes after Bucky logged out he logged back in and fell into the hole, suffering lots of damage. He then logged back out again when it looked like Yoavik was about to jump into the hole to finish him off. Bucky logged back in an hour later to find that the hole was now filled with lava. Bucky managed to get out of the lava by mining a tunnel with his godpick. He then proceeded to get out a stack of cobble and build straight up out of the hole, just like how Batman climbed out of the hole prison in The Dark Knight Rises. Bucky only survived because of his diamond godset and his wits. He later turned this diamond godset, which was the same one FrontierJustice had given him, into a netherite godset. Of course, because this is Bucky we're talking about he boasted about escaping the hole to Yoavik in discord dms. Bucky later lost his first netherite godset after attempting to scam Tyler out of some elytra.

### More Scamming

Undeterred, Bucky continued to scam. He created many alts on the trading hub discord using Opera GX and it's free vpn. He even had some alts on there that lasted for months. Bucky's main strategy with scamming has always been, and will always be, to scam new players and people who aren't aware of him. Most of the people he scams on the trading hub have very few trades or are an iron rank trader. All of these scams would bring infamy to Bucky. While he certainly wasn't feared as most people knew he could be kinda stupid sometimes, most people did know who he was and that he was a decent scammer, and knew to be careful with trading because of him.
