The Great Pyramid of Steve

**The Great Pyramid of Steve** (also known as the Steve Sphinx) was a megastructure build collaboratively by a number of players on Day 17. The entire compound of the build consists of a giant sandstone pyramid and a Sphinx-like statue attributed to the generic default Minecraft character, Steve.

## History

### Day 17

Jameskii decided to build a massive pyramid north of his island faction, New Hawaii. It was unclear why the pyramid needed to be built, but he mentioned on the abundance of sandstones in his possession as one of the factors. ScotGriswold joined him and together, they began laying out the foundation for the great pyramid.

KaraCorvus had just started streaming for the day when Jameskii invited her to witness and possibly lend a hand on the construction of the project. She agreed and began departing southwards. Along the way, Kara shared her goal of recreating the Great Wall of China in her Eastern colony, and applauded Jameskii's effort to build another wonder of the world on the server.

Jameskii then attempted to enlist WilburSoot to the party, but Wilbur politely refused due to the distance he had to travel there. Jameskii insisted by offering to pick him up from Newfoundland using his fastest plane. The two of them then engaged in a roleplay between an Uber driver and a passenger (just awkward silence interjected with coughs and small-talk).

Meanwhile in Spain, TanningOil, a relatively new member of the server, was encouraged by his fellow faction mate, GrunksPromise to participate in the pyramid construction to "make friends". Tanner agreed to join as long as Grunk could send him there. In the midst of their flight, the server kicked him out during its daily log update/backup, which glitched him in the sky as he relogged in. The plane itself was also glitched as an item that he kept in his inventory. Upon arrival, he was tasked to finish the floor of the pyramid by Jameskii.

Meanwhile, SootCharlie, who was travelling and touring North American bases and factions, was informed by his chat to check out the commotion in Australia.

A few minutes later, Wilbur arrived in Australia. He commented on New Hawaii's Tesco (calling it *Ye Olde Tesco* due to its rustic appearance) and Best Buy. Upon seeing the then-incomplete pyramid, Wilbur secretly hatched a plan of escape after realizing the lack of prospect and profit for him in this project. He convinced Charlie that this was a literal pyramid scheme, drawing similarities on how the Egyptians pyramids were built by unpaid labors (slaves).

Wilbur then immediately told Charlie to spawn a plane. He hastily piloted the plane away but unbeknownst to him, Scot managed to get in instead of Charlie. Charlie decided to despawn the plane in a desperate attempt to retrieve his stolen vehicle, which made both Wilbur and Scot on board the plane fell to their death.

Soon after, DinksterDaily was also present at the site, offering his 'national dish' (poisonous suspicious stew) to other builders. Eret had also joined in and tried to comprehend the purpose of this build, but nevertheless participated in the project.

Kara was told by her chat halfway through the build that the Pyramid was not symmetrical and constructed on a rectangular base. She attempted to rectify the shape, as the boys argued loudly on why the pyramid was not even built on a desert landscape in the first place. Afterward, she decided to leave the scene and tamed a blue parrot whom she dubbed as 'new Rio'.

Jameskii then asked the remaining builders to create a desert landscape around the pyramid by placing blocks, while he worked on the sphinx. It was determined that the sphinx would be dedicated to Steve, instead of Pepega. The interior of the pyramid was intentionally left empty.

### Day 19

The pyramid and the Steve sphinx can be seen in its completed form.

### Day 30

The Sphinx was claimed by New Hawaii, as it was previously located in unclaimed territory on the outskirts of the faction.

## Aftermath

Following the fatal plane incident, Wilbur respawned at Newfoundland upon his death and decided to add New Hawaii to his Wall of Debt, alongside Business Bay (post-Battle of the Bridges), officially declaring a state of war against the faction down under. He ended his stream for the day and raided Sylvee (who was kind to him during the Courting of the Bean Empire) instead of Jameskii as he usually would do. In the meantime, Josh helped teleporting Charlie to Newfoundland in order to return Wilbur's items.
