Swagsville (April Fools Event)

**Bacon Town** was a town and a property of Ern on the 1.16 server founded by CheesyBaconBits and JuiceBoy2005(?) in November 2020. Located at X +910 East Highway, Bacon was home to 50+ residents with an array of medieval builds situated in a plains biome. The town was led by Hypzee1 with Cheesy being declared as the "False Leader", hence a giant 1 to 1 block ratio statue of Hypzee overlooks the sea.

## History

### Day One

In November 2020, CheesyBaconBits first joined TG. She ventured for thousands of blocks for shelter unknowing of nether highways until she created a nether portal. After brief periods of exploration, Cheesy built a large home by the oceanside where the present town hall is. Bacon Town was actually supposed to be Bacon Juice Town, conjoining with the other inactive founder JuiceBoy2005(?). Bacon was also supposed to be much closer to the mountains than its central hub is today.

### Early Settlements

After a short amount of days, \*WhovianSol became the second resident of Bacon Town while seeking for a small community to reside in. Notable Baconeer IeatPlastic\_420 and the not so well liked Jayyy\_7 moved into Bacon Town. By December 15th, the town had been stagnant with population.

### War & Annexation

In December 2020, Bacon Town became a province of Ern after banana\_pirate's raid in the Bacon Town discord server. The council of Ern promised to give new Baconeer's items after joining which they did actually go forth with. Due to this, Bacon Town became the battleground of World War Ern (WWE). Hypzee1 ultimately silenced the raid and self declared himself as the leader of Bacon Town with Cheesy succumbing to his declaration, along with the FEA (Fuck Ern Alliance). Due to Hypzee's rule, the FEA agreed to build a statue in Bacon to represent Hypzee's complete control over Bacon Town though he never associated with it to begin with.

### Independence, Council Abolishment, & New Developments

Bacon Town received a small population spike in early January to mid February 2021. Along with the influx of population, the unliked Jayyy\_7 left BT due to racism, conflicts, and a generally hated presence. By this time, Bacon was expanding and upgrading their infrastructure, along with better planning and judicial system. During this time, Bacon was suffering from a major problem; inviting newbies. Inviting newbies was the second heaviest mistake in Bacon Town's history as many of the newbies quit after a few hours or days. By the middle of February, Blackwood became a territory of Bacon Town.

On February 26th, 2021, Cheesy announced that the former council would be abolished and a new vote would take place. The previous council was re-elected but also expanded. stupidlyrice became the secretary of Bacon Town, Fun4TheWholeFam was elected as vice president, and anchovvy was elected as the President of Bacon Town. CheesyBaconBits & hypzee1 were still above these three new additions of power.

*"As of 2/27/2021 the former leadership of Ern recognizes Bacon Town independence and see CheesyBaconBits as its rightful leader" - dudefromafrica*

At the beginning of March, residents of bacon sought out to build farms for citizens appeal. After days of congregation, multiple farms were constructed but they weren't suitable for population growth. KoiWolf27 & Lass\_E decided to construct a wither skull farm along the east highway after finding an unclaimed fortress fairly close to spawn, this sparked the construction of more farms including a raid farm, hoglin farm, and bartering farm. Immediately after the farm expansion, the city of Blackwood was unannexed from Bacon Town as it was never used. During this time, many inactive residents were kicked from Bacon Town, resulting in a huge dip in population which would later rise in the future. Also during this time, the Cabinet, VP, and Secretary systems served no use, these positions were later phased out.

### Bacon Hole & Gunpowder Farm

Starting in late March of 2021, Ieat\_Plastic420 sought out to build a 16x16 chunk gunpowder farm. With the help of hired workers and citizens of Bacon, the hole was completed on May 19th, 2021. Instead of the bacon hole being a singular farm, the area was split into four quadrant based gunpowder farms with the first being completed on May 24th, 2021. The farm was fully completed in early June 2021.

### Anarchy

In late 1.16, town resident cfdlboi sought out to build a 50x50 tnt cube under Bacon Town for anarchy. Player IeatPlastic\_420 was the first to follow suit and work with the project. In a creative world, plastic world edited and blew up a 50x50 tnt cube in Bacon's land area. In the creative world, the populated area of Bacon Town was mostly destroyed except for some outer edges. After dti131 & LEBthepleb's wedding, cfdlboi was banned after he, Skizzili, and suater1200 lava created lava casts up to the build limit. This lead to IeatPlastic\_420 leading the project and ultimately taking all of the credit from it. 3 days before anarchy, plastic begged for help to gather sand as the cube was lacking 50 out out 100+ double chests of sand needed. In the span of three days IeatPlastic\_420, V01DTheEpicGamer, JorgeLuis2105, Agent256, Just\_Got\_Wrecked, TanjiroStars, \*mitchellpup, aaah\_aaah, CheesyBaconBits, DankTurtleMaster, BlitzIR, and BasedArrow all helped on the project by mining sand, placing tnt, and farming gunpowder. The cube was finished 13 hours before anarchy started. In the short few hours before anarchy, M1r7hful and BlitzIR spoke about Bacon Town with cfdl earning slight bits of his deserved credit for the idea for the Bacon Cube during the TG Five Hour Server Tour.

The bacon cube sadly wasn't fully functional. At the start of anarchy \*mitchellpup lit the tnt, but since the TPS was so low, the cube's explosion dipped the server below a single tick. People at the tnt viewing platform however didn't notice a change except for Hypzee's statue being obliterated. The cube's explosion broke the server 4 times before admin muzak23 removed a portion of tnt and lit it himself to stop the server lag. The explosion was much smaller than anticipated, only blowing up a small part of the town. IeatPlastic\_420 was happier that he caused the server to crash four times rather than the explosion working properly.

## Geography

Bacon Town was located along the sea in a plains biome. The area consisted of small rolling hills and city's total area is 1.6km2 (0.61mi2)

### Districts

Bacon Town was made up of 2 districts and 1 neighborhood which are run by regular citizens

* The ʻĀpana Puaʻa Archipelago was an island private to Bunjjee which featured a modern house and aquatic garden.
* The Koi District was run by KoiWolf27. The district featured a diverse handful of cozy cabins along a terraformed area subject to its aesthetic.

### Ashbury

* Ashbury was in place of the former grounds of Altavista. In Ashbury, the district is densely wooded with a very small population.

### Cancelled Districts

* The Rice District was planned to be run by stupidlyrice. This district was planned to be a harbor style district much like The Red Dock District in Superiority. The district was cancelled as rice didn’t have enough time to sufficiently build the district.

* Baconshire was to be run by Agent256. Though only featuring an unfinished apartment complex, the area was planned to be a rural medieval village with a higher build standard than the rest of Bacon. The district was cancelled as progress was never started on it, however it is planned to be built during the 1.17 iteration as its own town.

* Altavista (Colonial) was a planned upper-class district for colonial homes to be run by BlitzIR. The district was cancelled due to colonial architecture being hard to build.

* Altavista (Medieval) was a planned upper-class district for high-standard medieval homes. The district was cancelled due to Blitz’s inexperience with building.

* Little Bash was to be a riverfront district run by BlitzIR consisting of heavily detailed medieval homes as a joint operation with Baconshire. The district was cancelled due to a lack of house designs and little discussion.

* The Modern District was planned to be run by CheesyBaconBits. This district was scrapped for it being too large and lack of planning.

### Former Neighborhoods

* Altavista was a neighborhood that consisted of four wildly different homes, this neighborhood was eradicated as BlitzIR was the only person who designated it.

## Transportation

Bacon was accessible by overworld travel or the town’s nether portal. The town did have a train station built for what was to be the Eastern Railway.

The Eastern Overworld Highway traveled through Bacon. Instead of acting as a freeway/motorway, the highway utilized already made streets in Bacon and had extra signage for the highway.

A deal between CheesyBaconBits and LakuTheDark was reached on Feburary 10, 2021. Laku began construction on tunnels and bridges to the west for the railroad right of way. The railroad was supposed to connect to the Western railroad, via a spawn bypass. This deal was abandoned as Laku became inactive and the Eastern Overworld Highway replaced the railway's route.
