The Town of Fairbanks Wiki

A Minecraft server with cool friends, documented for the sake of entertainment.

## Welcome to the The Town of Fairbanks/Anchorage Wiki!

The Town of Fairbanks is a small Minecraft server founded by Stanlabs on June 29th, 2020. It was later renamed Anchorage on November 22nd, 2020.

As of August 2022, it is currently owned by Stanlabs and co-owned by RocketLaws and R21M (ZiaxMedvedeva).

## Game Background

Fairbanks first started out as a all survival world where we originally had 6 members. These members of Fairbanks would of built in a naturally generated cave and have a rough idea of how to build the town. Unfortunately due to a mishap from the company running the server, all of our progress was lost.

The sever hosting company let us make a new world, the one everyone is currently building in. So the same as the last world, everyone started out in the cave, now known as the community center. The team would prepare heavily by trying to gather materials to get ready to build the town. The forest would be cut where the docks, fountain, and the fireworks shop would be. Soon the first build of Fairbanks, the fountain, would be completed. Things although did get out of hand when @R21M had to be on LOA for 2-3 days, enough days for Rocket to get world edit and tear down the mountains, which is why Fairbanks is now flat today. ***(outdated as of V3)***

Because of tearing down a whole mountain, I basically went f\*ck it and allowed members of the community to build in creative mode. The buildings that were constructed after the fountain which I would consider historical monuments from oldest to youngest would be the Docks, Park, Firework shop, Beach, and Town hall were constructed.

That's when everything started to go faster, slowly we had people buying plots, the city council was formed which we did free rank people at first, people built on their plots which made them start to like Fairbanks, which the led them inviting their friends to join, those friends would join which would soon invite their friends, which we are now at 50 members from 6.

## Lore Background

### Fairbanks

Fairbanks is a small local town in the State of Georgia, USA. It was founded back in 1737, located in the Piedmont region right below the Blue Ridge mountains, providing great views of the mountains and the natural lakes and forests. The original settlement was a Native American village, which the tribe on maps indicate land ceded from the Cherokees to the US government The Town of Fairbanks name has various accounts. One suggest that Fairbanks is a native American word for "Beautiful water," but another accounts credits the name due to the early white settlers' way of pronouncing the word "Fayour Banks". The federal government recognized Fairbanks as a town when the Fairbanks post office was built when the white settlers came in 1838. The Town of Fairbanks was incorporated and government founded in 1944, and as in the case of many communities within georgia, Fairbanks growth is attributed to the evolution of transport. As transportation evolved, so did Fairbanks.

### Anchorage

The Town of Anchorage functions under a Council-Manager form of government. Anchorage's City Council is comprised of seven members, including the mayor and deputy mayor. The mayor servers as the council-manager and only votes when there is a tie breaker. The mayor also serves as head of state, at ribbon cutting and other ceremonial functions. The mayor signs the City’s official contracts and agreements. Councilmembers create and vote on bills which the mayor either passes it or vetos it for revision so the community can improve. They also approve the City's annual budget and also work cooperatively with the county government to address issues. In order to have productive and informed sessions, the City Council has a Code of Conduct to follow by and has council sessions within a 30 to 60 minute notice.
