Lacksal (official)

A lot of wikis are in third person either because the writer chose to, or because the wiki was written by someone else (usually satirically). I will be writing this wiki in first person because it would be difficult to write in third person and because it better captures the idea by being in first. But then again this is purity literally no one cares.

Anyway, the purpose of this wiki is to tell the unironic and complete story of Lacksal. There's a lot of random breaks and skips in it, but I was inactive for long stretches and even when I'm active its a little iffy. There isn't really much else to say so lets begin.

## **The Story**

### ***Beginnings***

I first joined Purity Vanilla on May 17, 2019. I had heard about it from my brother and he sent me the ip so I decided to start playing. My first messages were from him spamming random stuff from his "group" called Ebola Clan or something else stupid. I was promptly killed by some non spawnfags and quit a few minuets later. At this point in purity, the server maxed around 40ish players at peak but averaged around 30ish so there was no queue and spawn was comparatively empty and pretty lavacast free. After several failed attempts I eventually escaped spawn and made a temporary base a few thousand out. I was told to vote for food, so I did and managed to survive for a good while before I was killed by a creeper. After this death, school started up and it was a rather strenuous year so I didn't really have time to play. I missed a large chunk of history of purity where most of the big groups were started and major events went down. This inactivity is what made it so hard for me to categorize myself; I had the age of an oldfag but the experience and knowledge of a newfag when I returned.

### ***The Return***

#### **Time on Queue**

I began my inactivity in late July of 2019. I occasionally voted or popped on now and again to cash in vote rewards, but I was out of the community only played very rarely. In March of 2020, quarantine started, and I found myself having a lot more free time. On March 14, 2020, I officially returned to Purity - but things had changed. Now, I barely knew anyone before I left, but there had been an influx of players and I knew absolutely nobody. So, as any grey/white at the time, I found myself alone in queue, afking until I could get in to inevitably die and return to spawn. I rejoined just as queue was starting to take off and the fishing community was becoming more serious. I received my first rod from Mortem (a few weeks before he was banned) and started interacting with the queue community. During this time, I met some notable players such as EnergyCorex2, \_\_Creep\_\_ (then known as Creep\_Assassin), and most importantly, Emerald Jaguar. For a time, I spent my days fishing and getting to know people on queue and not really caring as much about main. I joined Master Baiters (the queue trading discord) and made more connections and started to get better known by the community. Soon after, I tried to get into main again, and this is when I first started making connections on main and would join my first group, The Council.

#### **The Council (original group)**

After an unfortunate run with a duper, Aquamaroon found himself in need of new players. I happened to be on at the time and complaining about spawn so he messaged me in chat and we started talking on discord. On May 17, 2020, he invited me to the new discord server they made and told me about the new base they were going to make. This was unlike anything I had done before on any Minecraft server so I was very excited to participate. I set out with AlbanoKosovar (known known as Onassis even though he is inactive), and Ozymandias (also inactive). Unfortunately, it was fated for failure as I have horrendous internet at home. This fact was eventually memed by the community and I still get relentlessly reminded of it. After several failed attempts, I made it to the base location. When I got there it was little more than some glass surrounding a concrete circle, but I was excited. I started mining and got my first diamond set and tools. I conducted my first trade with Tarqshark during this time and began to be more involved in the community. Eventually, we decided to merge with Unity, Emerald Jaguar's (EJ) group. The only people from Unity to join TC were EJ and his friend Tiger\_Try. For a short time, a time I consider to be my best time on purity, everything was going smoothly and I was enjoying my time. However, a drama occurred and ItzFreaks griefed our base which we decided to call Quadratube. This grief not only resulted in us having to find a new base, but also EJ being removed from the group. Tiger followed him out and we decided to make a new discord to discuss our plans.

We moved to a base far from spawn that was griefed at some point during 2021 during the Pumpkin radar era. At this point, my activity on the main server was starting to wane as I became more dedicated to queue.

#### **My Height of Queue and the Beginning of the End of The Council**

I was at this point well known in the community for my association with EJ and the beginnings of my Saddle Empire on queue. I sold saddles with various people every day until I amassed a large amount of trades. EJ and I agreed that he would be the first person to 100 trades in MB and that I would be second by a short time, but receive a Master of Saddles role. By the end of this period, I was very well known in queue and rose to the position of Moderator on MB. It was around this time I entered a toxic phase in chat and began to receive the reputation I have today.

After the excitement of queue died down, Aquamaroon and Onassis were being increasingly inactive to the point where they decided to hand over the leadership to Rico and his friend Jdog. This decision would lead to the downfall of TC. We suspected that zUni was insiding us so we abandoned our old base and moved to a base known as El Dorado. For some reason, zUni was still told the coordinates of this base, but we were sure that he was insiding so we abandoned it after a few weeks and moved far out from spawn. We formed a base known as Arcadia Bay and for a while, everything was going smoothly again. That is, until Tarqshark started messaging me. I didn't know this at the time, but Tarqshark was an imfamous insider and base griefer and he asked me to sell the coordinated to the base. At this point, the only active members in TC were Rico, JDog, and I so I decided to tell them about it. The thought it would be a good idea to trap him while he was griefing the base and kill him. I was playing both sides; partly helping Tarq so he would pay me, and partly helping Rico so they could kill him. The decision was made and Arcadia Bay fell, but Rico and JDog didn't end up killing Tarq.

#### **The Downfall of The Council**

After the grief, Rico decided to hand the group over to a grey named DDhyr which would seal the fate of the group. I went solo for a short time as a cover, and because I was tiring of the group. Eventually, Tarq messaged me again, asking for the new Council coordinates. The Council was going down the drain because of the recognized retardation of Ddhyr, the general hatred towards Rico, and my descent into toxicity. I decided I didn't care about the group any more and sold them out twice. I would have gotten them a third time, but Rico (who had been let into the group as an advisor) sold them out first. For a while, no one suspected me. The only people who knew I sold the coords were parts of Chadlets and a few other trusted friends of Tarq. I again decided to go solo after this as a cover. Soon after, I would be invited to Children Of Athena (COA) by Wolf.

#### **Children of Athena etc.**

In my defense, this was during a trying time for me irl and I was taking out my irritation on the people of Purity. I had been isolating myself from the friends I had there and was distant. The invitation to COA sparked some life back into me so I decided to join. I joined a short time after their first base (which was pretty close to spawn) was griefed. They were on relatively high alert, but allowed me in because I was friends with EJ, and knew most of them pretty well. Tarq dmd me days after I joined asking for the coords to their new base. I thought it was risky, but sold them to him a few weeks later. At first, they suspected me, but they were convinced it was an old member who had gotten bored and sold them out. A few weeks after that, they made another new base, and that was soon destroyed. Once again, I was suspected, but managed to play it off well and decided to again go solo. Honestly, I don't know why I wasn't kicked out of the group after the first grief; maybe I'm just doubtful but come on, a new member joins and 3 weeks later your base goes boom bruh. Anyway, a short bit after this, I got into my argument with Moosh, which led into a short, fruitless saga that I won't bother explaining.

A short while after this bout, I revealed to the community that I had sold out my friends and my groups. I don't have the date for it, but it was near the end of the summer of 2020. I went from one of the more disliked members of the community because I simply talk to much to one of the most hated for my betrayal. I had no chance of joining a legitimate group again and lost most of my old friends. I'm still not honestly sure why I ever started leaking bases - I guess I was bored, or maybe I just liked the challenge of seeing if I could get away with it. Either way, it had happened, and people knew.

### ***Decline***

#### **Solo time and the beginning of Yeomen (Unity)**

After these events I knew I had no option besides going solo. I considered legitimately joining Chadlets, but decided against it as I didn't really think they would let me in and I needed a break from groups. I had at this point amassed a good deal of wealth from selling out bases, and my own trading/gathering. I made a temporary base and just settled down for a while. Not long after this, school started up again, but it was virtual, so I still had a good amount of free time, and even better, internet. I started to participate in Voice Calls on the server and because of these interactions, I met Alaff. I'd recently moved to a new solo/temp base because the old one was on a messed up chunk border and had limited resources nearby. Alaff and I became friends quickly, and I eventually decided to invite him to my base. Most would consider this a horrible idea since it was well known at the time he was an unstable character, and had at one point hacked (I mean I hacked at one point but I'm special and immune to my own rules). I invited him anyway because I was bored and had little to lose. I also met a newer player named AdventureTimeGuy after he asked for someone to bring him an e chest out in the nether. I invited him to the group as well, but before he got there, Alaff was banned for doxxing. Breaking the 4th wall here (again), but don't for the love of god dox anyone; he doxxed Melofors after Melofors doxxed him, but still jesus christ don't be a fucking idiot. Anyway, with him gone, I decided to start an official group. I invited some queuefags I knew and some other people: the member list at that point was Me, AdventureTimeGuy, I8mydog, Stonepiano, and later, EJ and Tiger\_Try.

**The Rise of Unity, and My Inactivity**

School had been picking up, and I was living a pretty stressful life at the time. I found myself avoiding work and just playing on purity instead of doing important things. I was already getting less active by the time Unity came together officially. With a legitimate team together, we started working on projects at that temp base. We have since finished most of them and are in the process of creating a main base. After a short time with the group (at the time called Yeomen), I decided to leave purity. I was beyond tired of the community and just bad shit irl happened so I had to go. For the past 4 months (it is currently May 2021) I have barely played until the past week. I am still pretty inactive, but I don't really want to come back. I can be sighted fishing in queue, and sometimes on main.

### ***Resurgence***

#### TDL and the Death of Unity

Near the end of summer 2021, I started to get a bit more involved in Purity again. Unity was getting pretty inactive, so I decided to go back on the market for groups again. Around this time, I also started my sand mining which was one of the worst decisions I have ever made. I was indebted about 300 shulkers to 4 different people and in the end I never finished any of the orders. Anyway, BrucieX invited me to his new group which he didn't yet have a name for, so I suggested The Delian League after the Greek alliance during the Persian Wars. I wasn't exactly sure what I intended or hoped to gain from the group, but it sure didn't turn out as expected. I was let in, and was set to fly to the base with a lad called ggii who had been acting incredibly sus for as long as I had known him. Anyway, we both eventually got there and started some basic houses and farms. Literally a few weeks later everyones' prediction came true and the base was griefed. According to ggii, he accidentally screenshared the coords to pumpkin, but I call bs; there were at least 3 leakers in that group and i'm still not exactly sure who ended up doing what.

After this shitshow and catastrophe, I decided to take a more vested interest in Unity again; unfortunately, it didn't last long. Only a short while after I rejoined full time, several group catastrophes occurred, and the group was disbanded. Once again, in this age-old loop, I was a solo player again. I kept in contact with almost all the Unity members but none of us really wanted to try to reform or base together again.

#### Solo and rejoining queue

Solo. Again. And for the first time in a long time, not by choice. I mostly just fucked around at spawn and started some temp bases, but main had lost its taste for me as I had nothing to do and was getting tired of that community. Queue, however, was in the middle of a period of exciting community as people reached new achievements and I met some new people there. I finally got my elytra and now plot on Tiger Plot with Tiger\_Try and Emerald Jaguar. I was also remodded on MB; this is a slightly bittersweet achievement. No matter the group or how nice one may thing they act, the people of Purity have a way of being dicks and making you hate the community. In general, it is far less toxic (thought often more sickening due to doxxes and other illegal activities) but as with every group on purity, it is hard to be there for too long. After a short time maining queue, I decided to once again start my own group on purity; enter, Pickle Pirates (PP) and the lead up to my current state on purity.

### Rejoining a major faction

#### Pickle Pirates and Introvious

I had recently been talking to Pickleseidon (a former invicta member) in chat and he told me he was solo at the time but might group with some people. I bounced around the idea of starting a group and invited Tier\_II (an old queuefag I knew). For a while it was very quiet as all of us were pretty busy and inactive. I had kinda been avoiding former Unity members due to our conflicts, but since I knew Drengodr irl, I accepted his invitation to start a group. We invited I8mydog, WinteryFern, WrestlerGuy, and Bujiboy and for a while, I thought we had done it; we were pretty active, had a base going, and things were going well!

During my period of solo (in?)activity, I had applied to a few factions with few expectations of ever getting accepted due to my past. Elysium and Mayors were my most favorable options, but I was rejected from Elysium for being "too trustworthy to let in" according to their leaders. Mayors, however, decided to interview me for a chance of acceptance. At the time, I hadn't joined a faction I didn't start in nearly a year, and reasonably, I was quite excited when they interviewed me and were surprisingly accepting of my past. After a short waiting period, I was in.

### ***History Repeats Itself***

#### Mayors

A year of going solo, queuefagging, and starting groups and I was finally in a faction. There were a couple people in Mayors I had heard of or talked to but it was mostly comprised of people I didn't know; I was really excited about this because I have a hard time staying with people i'd known for that long and been through conflict with. I got to the base pretty quickly and began planning for farms and builds. I was still technically a member of Introvious at the time, and WinteryFern had joined Mayors as well; because of these connections, the leaders of Introvious decided to join Mayors.

### Back at it Again

It had been nearly a year since I last leaked any bases and the community had so changed that many had forgotten and there was a massive influx of players who didn't even know about my past. For a long time I wanted to keep this past behind me; that is to say, I would do what I can to not leak, but if an opportunity nicely presents itself, I will take it. I had hopes of insiding Elysium for a while for a variety of reasons, and I believed getting into a reputable group like Mayors would afford me this opportunity; as it turned out, I was correct.

#### Mayors (part II), Elysium and The Never-Ending Cycle

When I first joined Mayors, I had no intention of leaking it. My primary objective was to just vibe in a group, do some farming and building and just enjoy a small community. The idea of insiding Elysium was certainly on my mind but at the time I didn't really think it was possible so I just decided to enjoy Purity for a while. Soon, however, the group started to get inactive so I once again sought an active group and recieved an invitation to Elysium from its leader, Tegrity. I simply couldn't let this go to waste, so I accepted and became a dual member of both Elysium and Mayors. By this point I was farely certain I would leak Mayors anyway for the hell of it and because of personal issues I had with the group.

I made it to the Elysium base quickly but was greeted with an actively dying group with few members. Again. Not long after, some members of Elysium decided to branch off and reform Okami. I participated in this move while plans were made to grief Elysium and Mayors. I enjoyed the Okami's base called Calmorock for a while before it was griefed by Cubicbite for unrelated reasons. The day of reckoning was fast approaching and I could already tell it was going to be an adventure.

Here comes the issues I had with leaking this Mayors/Elysium: I had actually become quite friendly with members from both and honestly I do kinda miss them. Also, I was very close with the members of Introvious who joined Mayors and today I regret leaking simply because of them, but I do think it is a valid awakening. Many of the members there were not very active on Main or were new to Purity and as mess up as it sounds, this was an opportunity to experience what Purity really is: undaunting, unforgiving anarchy.

Finally, the day had come: January 2nd, 2022. Ironically I was busy and didn't get on Purity or Discord much on the 2nd so I kind of missed the impact of the grief in the raw moment. The complaints, questions, and accusations quickly started rolling in and by the morning of the 3rd I was banned from all the Mayors and Elysium discord server and in a much smaller social circle than I was before.

### ***Inactivity***

I frankly don't recall what I did if anything between January and May of 2022. From what I do know, I made a solo base for the lols fucked about there getting more gear and probably did some end raiding. My motivation to play Purity was slipping as I approached finals and the fact I would never join a major faction again (for reals this time) continued to set in. Sometime around mid April/May of 2022, I logged off purity for my last time for several months and deleted my discord account (for a variety of reasons which I won't be going into).

### ***A Long Way From Home and Way Too Much Free Time***

#### ***Setting the Stage for Block Game Addiction***

Around September of 2022, I found myself in an awkward situation. I had decided to take a gap year for the 2022-2023 school year to travel and take a break before attending college. Through various unforseen circumstances of a personal and business nature, I was placed alone in an unenjoyable living situation with nothing to do and some *really* good internet.

#### ***What the Hell Am I Supposed To Do Now***

As previously mentioned, I was baseless, nearly friendless and now thrown into a vastly different community filled with people I didn't know and people I didn't want to know. Due to these dire circumstances, I did the only reasonable thing I could think of; complain, and start another faction.

#### ***Rags To...Something***

Here is a piece of information about me that not a lot of people seem to have picked up: I am a tactical genius and understand the Purity hive mind better than most can ever hope to. I'm not just trying to brag here; i've insided a disgusting number of factions and in the process, was forced to learn how Purity players think. With this knowledge in hand, I decided to create the most laughable, temporary, and doomed to fail faction the server has ever seen: Lacksal Faction (yeah).

So, I literally just made a discord server, named it Lacksal Faction, changed the server profile picture to 9/11 for maximum clickbait, and let the community run wild. It was nearly the perfect plan: no old/smart players would touch it because of my reputation and the newfags would flock to it because most of them are desperate to join a faction and participate in the community. In order to separate the retards from the useful faction members, I constructed a plan. Side note: I didn't actually have the plan when I made the faction, but it came to me halfway through the whole process. I was going to invite as many people as I could to a spawn base party that was just too inconvenient for most people to fly to and then observe who came, and who would decide to grief/leak it. I would then recruit those who didn't leak/grief it into my REAL faction. In summary, I hatched a mediocre plan which actually ended up working really well.

#### ***The First Recruits and Origin of the Benadryl***

The first people I recruited based on this experiment were ChooPoo (old 2019 pvper who helped set up the base), InVlader\_YT (grey non but a nice guy), and later, Solseter (Queue player and chad). We started a base, but eventually scrapped it as the location was mediocre and ChooPoo was slipping back into inactivity. Vlader also started his own base for the faction, but not much progress was made there as he ended up being the only person to use it. I then settled upon the location of our current base which came to be known as Benadryl (or the benny).

##### ***The Benny***

For a week or so after founding the base, I was the only member to actually work on it; that was, until AandWRootbeer was recommended for the group by Solsetur. RootBeer is a chad and has done an insane amount of grinding for the group including walking *in the overworld* to the base and various grindy tasks no one else wanted to work on. I know this isn't a faction wiki, but he is effectively the reason I am still playing as he motivates everyone in the group to play and I deeply appreciate that.

At this point, Benadryl is a well established group and I couldn't be prouder of what we've managed to accomplish!

### ***Conclusion***

(as of January 5th, 2023)

I've seen and done a lot of stuff here: from the first redstone stuff I did at Quadratube to leaking 9 bases, to leaving a sign at the End border (twice :D). Ive been here longer than the majority of the active playerbase (most of the time when I log on, I am the oldest player), but I still feel new. I enjoyed part of it, but hated a lot of it; this is a weird and tough community. The past 3.5 years have been wild but fun and I appreciate everyone who has been with me along the way :D
