Ghost Town

Picture of Ghost Town as of 8/12/2020

**Ghost Town** was a town on the 1.14-1.15 server with a population of around 25 people. It was originally a base for YummyPizzaGuy, but was later run by Fun4TheWholeFam.

Ghost Town stood out from other towns for being very relaxed with its requirements to join and build on the land and encouraged people to build whatever they would like (within reason) and was aimed to be a great town for newer players.

Ghost Town is succeeded in the 1.16 server by Spirit City, run by the original council that led Ghost Town.

## History

The town was originally just the base of Yummypizzaguy1 before he invited Fun4TheWholeFam to live there. After that, Fun4TheWholeFam's friend moved in with the two. Later Yummypizzaguy1 disappeared from the server. As a result Fun4TheWholeFam took after and started growing the town. He named his home Ghost Town. At the time, Fun was the only person living in the town, but later, more would come to join the town.

On July 21st, 2020, a random raid was triggered in the town. The raid was originally fought by Fun, bmo28, and Cooopl. once word got out that there was a raid happening at Ghost Town, it drew players such as UnethicalVoxel, Archerhead, IceRice, and even Pyrofail (who I'm pretty sure was just there to kill anyone with pvp on).

On July 30th, The server had a large influx of new players because of this post on r/teenagers about an official teenagers mc server. and with these new players came new residents to Ghost Town. In that day, 10 new players joined the town.

## Leadership

The Town was run mostly by Fun but had appointed LimeishPingu and bmo28 as his right hand men

There was also a council made up of people who Fun trusted, which included Cooopl, Cheese\_Addict, Dasckepur, ilyChloe, LazuliCrafter, Limeish, and bmo. This group is now known as the Spirit City Council.

## Controversy

Ghost Town and its leadership is often criticized for its poorer build quality compared to other cities at the time. While this may be true, Ghost Town was founded on the principals of being welcoming to all players and all kinds of build styles.

Also before Ghost Town was officially founded as a town, Fun built a large glass dome around an island in the ocean that housed around 100 turtles. It was named Turtle Town which also so happened to be the same name as a build made by AprilSWG (formerly Noodles\_for\_you, Eat\_Noodles) which Fun was often criticized for.

## bmo28's Crack Shack

bmo28's Crack Shack is located 150 blocks south of Ghost Towns border, and was the main base of bmo28. bmo's Crack Shack was originally built independently from Ghost Town but was officially absorbed into Ghost Town in mid July 2020. His base was easy to get lost in, so other encouraged players not to enter unless they could teleport out. The Crack Shack and Ghost Town were connected by a stone pathway created by bmo28 which also had a three-way intersection that leads to Potato Farms.

On, July 26 2020, the Crack shack was abandoned as bmo moved into the heart of Ghost Town. On July 28th, 2020, many residents and curious folk went to the Crack Shack to blow up the whole thing. A wither was summoned to create damage, but didn't do much damage. TNT, provided by Fun and Dasckepur, was used to blow it up the Shack, leaving only a crater filled with some water left. Bqckstab\_ was blown up by Das by accident. Fun also blew himself up when he placed and hit an end crystal.

## Potato Farms

Potato Farms is the home of LimeishPingu. Similarly to bmo's Crack Shack, Potato Farms was an independent base until Fun4TheWholeFam offered Limeishpingu to incorporate Potato Farms into Ghost town. Located 150 blocks west from Ghost Town, it was the largest potato farm on the server, being able to harvest over two double chests worth of potato in a single harvest.

## Anarchy

When the server reset for 1.16 was announced, it was also revealed that the server would go into anarchy mode for 6 days prior to the reset. Ghost Town had a large target placed onto it as both Noname and Curiosity declared war on the still young town.

### Replica

The Ghost Town council made a plan to create a secret bunker to hide out in during the anarchy days and would be named Replica. Furthest away form any highway, Replica was built at Y level 14 and was 75 x 100 x 15. The bunker was an outer layer of obsidian covered in water and was decorated on the inside to simulate the outside world. The ceiling was made out of light blue concrete and had clouds made out of sea lanterns and white stained glass to replicate a sky. All council members but Dasckepur built a home in Replica. The project took only around 26 hours to complete with the help of most council members of Ghost Town.

### Decoy

Before construction could even start, one of the builders of Replica mentioned in public chat that Ghost Town was building a bunker which Ninobf caught onto. In an attempt to throw Nino off the trail, Ghost Town leadership created a decoy bunker in Worlds Edge and would make subtle remarks about being in Worlds Edge while Nino was online. The plan was to have a "falling out" between Dasckepur and Ghost Town, causing him to leak the coords to Nino so he could grief Decoy instead of Replica. In the starting hours of anarchy, the coords were leaked to Nino and Fun was decoyed to World's Edge to be killed by Nino, who showed up almost immediately and killed Fun before griefing the fake bunker.

### The Fall of Ghost Town

Mere hours after Decoy was found and destroyed by Nino, Fun noticed that his chests were looted in Replica, as well as every other valuable item in the hands of everyone living in the bunker. This set the council into a panic trying to figure out how and who looted the bunker. The only non members of the Ghost Town council that knew about Replica were mods Cheese\_Addict, MarioFoli, and ABlazingEboy, all of whom only knew because they teleported to the bunker which automatically removed them as suspects as that would constitute as mod abuse. So the only logical answer was that either one of the Council members took all of the gear for themselves or someone in the council leaked the coords.

Fun, who saw the inevitable, packed up all of his valuables into shulkers and left Replica to never return and embrace the nomadic lifestyle. Fun would take this time exploring the map by himself as he felt nobody could be trusted. He would explore the map, reliving his first moments on the server and looting abandoned towns.

Not even 24 hours later, Fun was alerted by bmo28 that Nino and Xegmaster had entered the bunker. Nino and Xeg somehow had the coordinates for Replica and looted the base before blowing it up the following night.

Most members of Ghost Town were left without a home and most decided to all part ways until reset. Submadoge returned to Ghost Town after being stuck in Limbo for a little under a month, rebuilding his home and attempted to build Ghost Town back up after it's extensive griefting. His efforts were quickly abandoned due to the scale of the project, his lack of supplies, and without the knowledge of the /sethome command. Him leaving the Ghost Town until the server reset along with the rest of the members, marked the end of Ghost Town's history.
