Panta Rei

Ras Museum built for Soosh in center of Panta Rei factories

### Alias(es)

Soosh's base, Invicta factory base (description disputed by RasmusB and other invicta members)

Panta Rei was a factory base responsible for a large amount of the building blocks used in Invicta's builds. It was owned by Soosh and additionally managed by redstoners Jimothy, Nethzyran, and Pickleseidon.

The base has been described by Invicta members as a marvel of redstone engineering, and a sight to behold. Invicta members have described the farms as some of the most efficient and awe inspiring farms on the server, and described Pickle's builds as modern, beautifully balancing out the industrial vibe of the rest of the base.

On the other hand, the attackers of this base variously have described the redstone as "nice litematica lol", "pretty sure those guys just blindly plug together schematics with zero concern for efficiency", and, most damningly, "your faction doesn't care about lagging the eff out of the server" "So extremely your stuff reduces people to less than 1 FPS". The FPS drop can be seen in the video below, and the sub-20 TPS upon loading the base has been elsewhere attested.

Its sack was set into motion approximately 12 October 2020, when base owned Soosh posted a request for a challenging mathematical proof in return for a row of wither skulls. After confirming the sourcing of the skulls and his methodology of proof, RobertDonald sent the proof to Soosh. Soosh refused to pay the skulls and made fun of his handwriting. RobertDonald gave him a day to change his mind.

After the 13th came and went with no payment, RobertDonald arrived at Panta Rei on the 14th, followed quickly by CRA and griefyoudotEXE. On arrival, Robert posted images of the base claiming to have found Invicta prime, and Ragsterinja and jqq spammed the in-game chat claiming to have insided the group. After some burning and looting, coordinates were publicly posted, and much of the infrastructure and builds went down in looting, TNT, withers, and lavacasts. Robert suggested searching the nearby glacier biome for other Invicta builds. As can be seen on the edit history of this wiki article as well as the Invicta article, Invicta members dispute this base being a part of Invicta at all, while their opponents cheer the death of what they have called by the alias "Invicta factory base" - see below video as an example.

## Relationship to Glaciagrad

Following the burning of Panta Rei, some speculated that Invicta would self-grief their main base, Glaciagrad, in response. When questioned as to whether this self-grief had occurred, Invicta members responded with the statement that they were still at Glaciagrad, e.g. "no we are still at glaciagrad" - OwO, 20 Oct 2020.

However, the self-grief of Glaciagrad was announced on 22 October 2020. Members indicated that this self-grief was due to the desire to move onto other projects rather than the speculated motivation, and RasmusB, leader of Invicta, wrote the following on the Invicta page when removing information on Panta Rei: "Removed irrelevant add on about a base that isn't an Invicta base, but rather a personal base of an Invicta member. Has nothing to do with Invicta's history." More evidence includes Lolingcraft saying part of him wished Glaciagrad would fall so he could share his builds, and Ras confirming that when Loling said this on October 5th there was already talks of self-destructing Glaciagrad.

If we take these statements at face value, it can only be concluded that the timing of the self-grief of Glaciagrad was coincidental.
