Ice Subway Construction Agency

## Brief Intro

The Ice Subway construction Agency was founded on July 28th 2021 by the user Girthychocolate, it was founded in an attempt to get more workers to build the Second Empire of Uldarash ice subway, but quickly became more than that. it very rapidly swelled to 10, then 20 and now over 30 workers, and over 60 total members. However, there was already a substantial amount of opposition from the Second Empire of Uldarash, due to the fact that they Quote Unquote "already had a nether highway". The state of Boulderov (pebbleland) threatened to behead Girthychocolate if he dug a tunnel system inside they're borders. The project continued under secrecy anyways, and the Chevkri Republic and Montroig expressed keen interest in it. Things were going along smoothly, and the Agency had contracts set up set up with the The Free States of Tortuga, aka the pirate empire of Tortuga, and Paloro. They also had recruited from many other nations, including Axum, The Magisterium and the United Burgamerian Socialist Republic (USBR). But when Uldarash found out about these projects, they **assumed** that these systems were connected, and threatened treason against GirthyChocolate, charges which were held until the user Sneaky Spy contacted Girthychocolate and confirmed that all of these systems were separate. The charges were dropped, but there was still heavy opposition. It was at this point Girthychocolate, ZTempestX and MysticMajesty Designed the headquarters which would be in Atris Paloro. The HQ was constructed in less than 2 IRL days, and a banquet was held to celebrate the opening ceremony, with 10 members attending. But it was at this point Girthychocolate was banned from the Uldarash discord for unknown reasons. This, in his words, "didn't mean a single Mcf\*\*king thing". Construction in Paloro will start soon, whenever time allows.

## How the ice subways work

The ice subways operate by means of friction, or rather lack of it. Ice is slippery and you slide around on it. the same principle apply to not only players, but boats to. This means that if you row a boat on surface of ice, you can gain massive amounts of velocity in a startlingly short amount of time. Tests that the ice subway construction agency conducted showed that the boat reached up to 300 bps (blocks per second) on packed ice, which made the server lag and buffer. Blue ice was deemed not worth the trouble and since it was too fast for the server and extremely hard to find.

## Notable members

The ice subway construction agency has over 60 members, some of them worth mentioning. The first is TheSexyCandian, the current king of The Free States of Tortuga, and a donator. The next is Poldi Paloro, the king of Paloro, and a enthusiastic supporter of the Ice Subway Construction Agency. There is Al-Surii (Gamerblox2077), the current king of alokhrad, and one of the original supporters of this project. There is Arrowpotz, the creator of the Rathlympics (TF y no wiki??). There is ZTempestX, the founder of Rathnir Transportation Guild, and close friend of Girthychocolate.

## Why Ice Subways?

Girthychocolate chose ice subways after being dismayed at the hideousness of conventional highways, and equally disgusted at the disrepair of the nether highway system, he decided there needed to be a compromise. They would be dug underground and in the overworld, to make sure that no one could see them, and have stations for people to stop at, like at major cities and notable locations. The first tunnels were built at y-50, but future systems would be dug at y-25 and below.
