Boomdacow

Boomdacow has been a player on the server since March 31st, 2020. He is most widely known for his making of fully enchanted weapons and armor. For a while, he was also one of the top beacon sellers on the server, until the beacon value dropped by over 80%.

## Notable parts of his career:

* Boomdacow held a funeral for Greg, his pet wither, after he was brutally slaughtered by Kristalic, the owner of Aether. The funeral lasted roughly 30 minutes, and involved several speeches about his greatness.
* Boomdacow was the pastor for the wedding between Cheese\_Addict and Goatmir.
* Boomdacow is the creator of the fabled "5,000 block long stripmine."
* Co-owner of Apex Loans
* Creator of the Anti-Pyro Fund

## Early life:

Boomdacow originally started out with his friend, Lopile. They were taken in by "The Cult," which was led by Leyugaff. During his time at the cult, he began one of his most notable feats, the 5,000 block long stripmine. It is estimated that about 80% of his current wealth in ore comes from that stripmine. Boomdacow would also do cheap labor for LoomisFire, who would eventually invite Boomdacow into Aether.

## As a member

Shortly after being invited, Boomdacow resigned from the cult and joined Aether, where he would stay in Silloter's apartments for about a week before making his own house. During this time, Boomdacow decided to start making his mark on the server. His first goal was to make a house, which he did (this ended up being taller than the tallest building in Aether, so the third floor was removed).

After making his house, Boomdacow began one of Aether's current traditions, the pumpkin game. He hid the pumpkin somewhere on the main island of aether, and offered 4 diamond blocks to whomever found it. The person who found it would hide it next, and the person who found that pumpkin would hide it next, and so on.

Boomdacow, after creating the pumpkin game, began hiring workers to afk at the sugar cane farm, with the intent of trading the paper from it to get emeralds. With these emeralds, he began his business selling enchanted armor, weapons, books, and tools. The total revenue of his business totaled to almost a stack of diamond blocks.

## As a Senior Member

One month after joining Aether, Boomdacow was promoted to senior member, meaning he now had access to two of Aether's most valuable farms: The wither skeleton farm and the infinite raid farm. Boomdacow had already visited the wither skeleton farm before, while working for LoomisFire. These two farms expanded Boomdacow's business much more, to the point where he could get a stack of emerald blocks in about an hour. With these new tools, Boomdacow began selling beacons, along with his enchanted materials. Originally, he would sell beacons for 25 diamonds, until the price crashed to about 5. Instead of working to conform with the current economy, Boomdacow instead tried to resist it, trying to explain to other members of the server that the price used to be 40 diamonds, and that the server needed to slowly but surely reinstate the price of the beacon. Unfortunately, this was to no avail, as most of the server was happy purchasing beacons at a very cheap price. Boomdacow decided to stop selling beacons, until Bomo (who was known as PeterGlackin at the time) put in restrictions that singlehandedly forced the price back to 30 diamonds.

Boomdacow and Bomo formed a loan bank known as Apex Loans shortly after the beacon price rose. The bank's profit came from interest rates by customers, but the loan bank was short lived, as it eventually died out due to the lack of support.

During the time where pyrofail would unfairly kill people and steal their stuff (via bypassing pvp restrictions, outright cheating on terms of pvp, etc.), Boomdacow made the Anti-Pyro Fund. This fund (coming from Boomdacow's own diamonds), helped victims of this unfair killing restore their inventories. The fund was difficult to maintain, as more and more people ended up in queue as Boomdacow tried to make enchanted gear for more and more people, but eventually pyrofail gave in and stop unfairly killing people, living in minor infamy for the remainder of his time on the server.

Currently, Boomdacow is inactive, but this inactivity is expected to come to a close "once the world reset happens or when I finish Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, whichever comes first." His total worth in ore is the following:

Iron: 725 ingots

Gold: 192 ingots and 2 nuggets

Redstone: 5394

Lapis: 699

Emerald: 2868

Diamond: 1355

## Trivia

* Boomdacow has the top streak for most times winning the pumpkin game in a row (5 games).

* The 5,000 block long stripmine was done with only iron pickaxes, and took roughly 3 days to complete.
