Project X

Map of the main Project X realm taken on 13 August, 2023

**Project X**, informally referred to as the **Fifth X Series**, is a Minecraft SMP starring WhiteStormX, ThunderStormX, MCTogs, DarkStormX, and for the first time since the First X Series, guest starring the GodOfLazyness (aka one always lost), although he has since informally quit the series. Although nominally an independent SMP, the Project X is considered the spiritual successor to the X Series, an SMP with history stretching back to 2020. It officially begun on 19 March, 2023, and is presently ongoing, making it the longest lasting X Series thus far.

Created as the pinnacle of a series over 2 years in the making, The Project X intends to be an indefinite SMP, an oath sworn by both WhiteStormX and ThunderStormX on Togs' behalf. Taking in a antique episodic format, the Project X is a series of live episodes of Minecraft that involve typical survival activities such as mining, building and exploring, as well as occasional special episodes such as PvP and Parkour. Intended as a showcase for Minecraft's features and updates, it went through two title updates, 1.19, and its current one, 1.20.

In an attempt to establish order and cooperation, The Project X features The Senate, which is intended as a means for members to peacefully settle their differences through the passing of anonymous votes and through discussion. The Project X is the first X Series adjacent show to have new members join since the First X Series, and is the first of its kind to have a proper road network since the First X Series as well.

Despite its current relative stability and longevity, some issues persist from previous X Series iterations, such as drama between Thunder, White and Dark, inconsistent server reliability, lack of time on Thunder's part, unfinished builds by Thunder, and poor internet connections causing constant disconnects mid-stream, causing a poor viewing experience and fractured VODs. The server had also been impacted by Dark and Godoflazyness' two week long self-imposed exile from the series main base.

## Buildings

### The Senate

Built by Togs for the purpose of passing votes and resolving disputes, and as a general meeting point for the members.

### White's Area

*Main page: WhiteStormX Areas*

An area semi-independent from the main base, White's Area or Empire is populated by White and Dark, although Dark is an independent member under White's protection. The area is nature themed, and is linked with the main base via a bridge.

### Dark's Empire

*Main page: DarkStormX Empire*

A former empire for Dark and onealwayslost after their self-imposed exile from the main base, which was abandoned on August 28 in favor of White's protection in his base, after onealwayslost quit and the base was discovered by everyone.

## Disputes

Project X has had several disputes throughout its history between its members, some having been resolved in and through the Senate. These include but are not limited to the autonomy of members, Dark's diminished role and Thunder's constant dependence on White's approval, building regulations for paths and space between buildings, the delay of builds and streams, inconsistent streaming schedules, internet and server issues, members and membership restrictions, and much more. Most of the members have had disagreements, with Dark and White usually positioning themselves against Thunder. Togs and GoL (also known as one always lost) are ostensibly neutral, although lost seems to have effectively been a proxy of Dark for his period of activity. Likewise, questions have been raised by Dark and Thunder over Togs' neutrality.
