Cubert3d

cubert3d is a regular player of Oldfag.org, who joined August 3rd, 2019. He has played almost daily since first joining, and has made somewhat of a name for himself among some of the players. But now he is no longer active, and only talks with other old and/or relevant players, and not in the general community.

## History

### Escaping Spawn and First Base

Cubert3d first joined on August 3rd, 2019, having come from SalC1's video uploaded eight days prior. At the time, spawn was still somewhat intact, with only a few lavacasts and plenty of natural terrain. Almost immediately after joining, he found some food in a chest at spawn, went to nether and took the highway to a region in the overworld less than 100k from spawn. Cubert3d then went into newchunks (though not very far), and founded his first base, on a small spruce island. He remained at this base for about a week or so, learning the ropes of a hacked client.

### The First Map Art

Soon after founding this base, however, cubert3d grew bored of this, and wanted to make map art. He selected one of his favorite works of ecchi (softcore hentai), and ran it through a program to convert it to a map art schematic. He then abandoned his base and went to a new location, farther out and in a different quadrant. Due to his being a noob, cubert3d was not aware of carpet duping, and so made a large sheep farm for wool. He also attempted to trade with melon\_man04 for diorite, but due to time constraints, the deal fell through. During the construction of this map art, cubert3d started speaking in chat, and caught the attention of a player then named AssDestroyer283, now named ThaBigG; the two started talking, and cubert3d gave ThaBigG the coordinates of both his first base, and the map art location. ThaBigG came to the map art and showed cubert3d the method of carpet duping, and helped place torches down to melt the snow off the map art. The chunk rollback glitch occurred during the construction of the map art, causing the area surrounding the map art to convert into an ocean biome, which cubert3d witnessed first-hand. The map art itself remained intact, as he had kept those chunks loaded, but the carpet duper and the storage for materials were lost; and only part of the new chunks could be reverted without rolling back the map art, which cubert3d was unwilling to do.

### Team Philotes

After the map art was finished, cubert3d and ThaBigG built a place for screenshotting it, and made copies of it for themselves. They then went their separate ways, but remained allies. Cubert3d went back to spawn, and set off from their to find a new place for his next map art. (Side note: cubert3d was killed by DIAMONDADDICTED on the nether highway. cubert3d was in plain diamond gear, being the poorfag he was (and still is), while DIAMONDADDICTED was in god gear; but cubert3d refused to log, but rather struck back in vain.) He was originally on building a 4x2 picture of a castle on a floating island, but then ThaBigG introduced him to the player then named bailey\_ancom, now named uwu6. Cubert3d wanted to ally with bailey\_ancom, and so offered to make a 1x1 map art of her Discord profile picture, which was then a piece of fan art for Celeste.

During the planning of this arrangement, ThaBigG distributed the first map art to some of the other players. It soon became clear that DezzDox came into possession of the first map art, and was reselling it without accrediting cubert3d. Cubert3d came into contact with Fie\_nd, who was then had some sort of relation to DezzDox, and arranged to have him give credit to cubert3d. In addition to this, cubert3d proposed to bailey\_ancom that they form a team with one label with which they may brand their map art, so as to force any map art vendors to give credit. After some discussion, they resolved to name their team "Philotes", and to have the Greek letter Phi (Φ) as the team's logo. They brought ThaBigG into agreement with this, and so the three of them founded Team Philotes.

### The Second Map Art and Involvement in The September Spawn Crusade

After some discussion with bailey\_ancom, cubert3d resolved to build the Celeste map art as a stepped map art, for he saw that it would not look good as a flat map art. This presented some new challenges to him, but he quickly overcame them. First, he elected to still use a sheep farm and full wool blocks, instead of carpet duping, so that they could be placed without support blocks; second, he built a sort of "frame" out of a scaffolding block and ladders to easily access each line. Cubert3d then started gathering resources for he map art, and began construction of the map art. During this first part of construction, cubert3d started the "SSJN is Fuhrer of Oldfag.org" joke (he has since then retracted this statement).

However, news came out of the plan of Phantom to add a whitelist to his server, Constantiam.net. Everyone feared a sudden and large influx of new players, refugees from Constantiam; and so Namy\_McNameface, BooBooBaloney, and sirsting started the September Spawn Crusade. At first, cubert3d was not interested, and wanted instead to continue work on his map art. But as the excitement for the project grew, he gained an interest in the incursion (it was called an incursion at the time), and decided to return to spawn to participate in it. During the incursion, he met many of the significant players on the server for the first time, and hung out with them at the 0 0 nether hub. He also built a roller coaster on top of the -400 -400 lavacast.

After the spawn crusade, which turned out to be a failure on account of the Constantiam refugees going to 9b9t instead, cubert3d returned to the map art location and continued work on it. At this point, he began developing a technique to make easier the process of building stepped map art. Cubert3d finished the map art within a short time, and then returned to 0 0 and built a cozy little cabin near spawn in which to reveal it to bailey\_ancom within the same day.
