## Life

### Early days

Joining the server on October 7th, 2021, RoryRDMB initially was in a faction known as The Farms, along with ClamTheClam and SandwichPress, which occupied the farms area, and used it as their base. During this time RoryRDMB had little idea about the goings-on outside of The Farms, as he had no tour from TaylorWorld, as most players traditionally do upon first joining. As such RoryRDMB was obsessed with finding Wench Lane.

After ClamTheClam and SandwichPress were banned, RoryRDMB finally discovered the location of Wench, and decided to build a house there, which still stands today, despite several attempts at griefing it, notably by ZmakkaPakka and EPCNZ.

During this time Rory felt like starting his own faction, and as such created Marineville and the Underwater Empire in a large lake by spawn. He also embarked on a project with TaylorWorld to improve Wench lane, replacing the concrete road with a dirt path, revamping Turtle Bay, and building a huge cliff with custom trees on it, the latter sparked a running joke that Rory “was the Lorax”.

Another project Rory embarked on was to remove the lavacast at spawn, attempts to remove it using tnt by Meese, Taylor, and Rory had been attempted previously, but had failed, so Rory decided to mine the lava by hand, mining over 110,000 cobblestone, and eventually succeeding in removing the lavacast.

During this time Rory was very active and keen to increase his wealth, and as such went on long End busting trips which earned him many elytras and shulker shells, he also did a lot of ancient debris mining, and became an entrepreneur, and sold a shulker box's worth of ink sacs to TaylorWorld, and selling slimeballs at his shop at Marineville, both enterprises earned Rory a lot of Diamonds, making him one of the richer players on the server.

Rory also worked on a pvp arena, seeing the progress on it, and realising the one year anniversary of the server was approaching, TaylorWorld approached Rory and offered to help turn the area around the pvp arena into a celebration of the server. Dubbed the “Anniversary Area”, the project was to contain every major build on the server built thus far.

### Rise and fall of the Carrot Empire

In the weeks coming up to the servers one year anniversary, RoryRDMB and TaylorWorld were both very busy with working on the anniversary area, however, Rory decided that the first year of the server should end with a bang.

He decided to prank Potato Empire, by replacing all the potatoes wh carrots, and replacing the “potato” lettering on the Potato Temple with “carrot”. Rory started work on this prank on the 23rd of February, and was hard at work on it, almost being found out by Taylor at one point.

On the 25th of February, 2022 RoryRDMB sent a message on the Potato Empire discord stating “This empire no longer exists, the Carrot Empire will rise from the ashes of the long neglected potatos! Long live the Carrot Empire!”

This quickly escalated, causing the Carrot-Potato Conflict, the Great Farms Race, and many other issues on the server. Due to this Rory was shunned by most on the server, and Rory was unwilling to give up on Carrot Empire due to the sunk cost, and the belief that he would never be forgiven, driving him further into Carrot Empire and away from the rest of the server.

These conflicts eventually became too stressful for Rory, and eventually decided to quit the server, as he had found another server known as RealmSex, run by SandwichPress.

Rory decided he wanted to go out with a bang, and declared war on the Potato Empire, initiating what became known as the Great Realmplex War. Causing immense devastation to the Potato Temple, Thailand, and other areas of Potato. After being killed by an Iron Golem and losing all of his gear, Rory and fellow Carrot Empire citizen, Lean\_Lover and Rory were defeated in a 2v1 against Underscore, allowing Potato to mount a counteroffensive, destroying Carrot Castle and causing minor damage to Port Morkov.

Following this, Rory was banned, along with Lean\_Lover, Carrot Empire was dissolved, replaced by Carrot Town, lead by Underscore, and many of his items given away according to his will.

However, it would not stay this way for long.

### New beginnings

After Rory was banned a new admin came to power; Underscore. After being inaugurated as admin, Underscore held a vote to unban SandwichPress and ClamTheClam, who were both unbanned, this resulted in RealmSex getting shut down, as SandwichPress was playing on Realmplex instead.

Underscore then held a vote on whether Rory and Lean\_Lover to be unbanned, and they were both unbanned from the server.

Upon being unbanned, Rory was given back his territory, although much to his annoyance Carrot Castle was left griefed from the Great Realmplex War, TaylorWorld fixed the castle after nagging from Rory, however, he did not see the repair as good enough, and started plans to replace the current design with a larger, better one.

Rory also disillusioned the Carrot Empire and replaced it with the New Carrot Republic, later renamed to the United Colonies of the Carrot Republic (UCCR), and enacted policies that would make UCCR more peaceful than it’s predecessor. However many people still did not forgive Rory for what he did during the war, and remained suspicious of him.

Rory then set about regaining his wealth that he lost from his will, and also set about making more set of spare gear, as during the Great Realmplex War he lost his main set after dying to an Iron Golem, and had no spare set, contributing to his and Lean\_Lover’s defeat in a 2v1 against Underscore. He also found new allies in the form of TMA (The Mountain Association), and created a joint business with a member called Specshark, who had a company called Shark Industries, who had a weapons division and wanted to sell gear to players, as such Rory partnered with Specshark to create SIWD+CWI (Shark Industries Weapons Division + Carrot Weapons Industries). The two made a lot of diamond off of selling gear to players, and soon Rory was wealthier than he was previously.

During this time new countries emerged, including TMA, as mentioned previously along with Femboy Land. When Femboy Land attempted to force the Great Potato Empire to change it’s name to the Modest Country of Dried Kelp, and nearly started a war, both UCCR and Sol Corporation, formerly one of Carrot Empire’s biggest enemies, both came together, along with Wheat Kingdom and TMA to assist Potato Empire, however the expected conflict never happened.

Throughout this time, Rory was also working on improving Carrot Castle, but that was not the only project he was working on. During the Great Farms Race, Rory had constructed a warship, called the CNS Undefeatable, and had plans to continue building a fleet of ships, however this stopped due to the Great Realmplex War. So Rory decided to embark on a programme of naval expansion for the Carrot Republic, and constructed several new ships.

### The Long Peace

Towards the end of the conflict between Femboy Land and Potato Empire, a new nation was formed on the server, Jonasland, and after finding out, Rory became a citizen and gave many gifts to Jonasland on behalf of UCCR. This caused another new nation, Name Pending, to accuse Jonasland of being a puppet state of UCCR. Rory and Jonas both denied these claims.

To make matters worse, the leader of Name Pending, Mikecube, also ran for president in Jonasland and won, and had also joined the Potato Empire and made Name Pending territory part of Potato, this caused Rory some concern, as Mikecube had stated that he wanted to take over the server in the past, and Rory believed Cube was just using Potato Empire for his own benefits.

Eventually, a resistance was formed against both Name Pending and Underscore, due to the belief that Underscore was being a biased admin, and both players left the server.

Jonas, believing that this was an end of an era, dubbed this new time the “Tranquill Era”, however Rory didn’t see it that way, especially since the last era they were in was called “The Long Peace”. Rory’s concern was soon realised due to tension brewing between Jonasland and Potato Empire, which spelled an end to the “Tranquill Era”, due to the occupation of Name Pending by Jonasland, and the occupation of Thailand, and the Second Great Realmplex War.

### True tranquility, for the time being

Aside from the liberation of Thailand from the control of Jonasland and The Gays, the Second Great Realmplex War, however, had very few long lasting impacts to the server. After the end of the war, Ada, Callum, Jacob, and the rest of The Gays stopped playing on the server yet again, allowing players to return to continue building new and old projects, however, many have since stopped playing as frequently.

Rory, on the other hand has not stopped playing on the server. After several successful election campaigns, he landed himself in several powerful positions, including Vice President of Jonasland, and Prime Minister of the Potato Empire. After beginning his term as prime minister, Rory initiated the construction of the Unity Tower.
