NorthPass (Nova)

NorthPass is a town that started on April 9th, 2020. It was started by iShockYou who originally founded the town with the Umptoyou who also helped make the town. NorthPass is located in Northwest Russia and is most well known for its shopping center and historic builds.

## History of NorthPass

iShockYou the founder of NorthPass first started playing on April 8th, and a day later iShockYou left Daybreak to create his own town which would be called NorthPass. iShockYou went to many places to decide where his town would be, and he decided on Northwest Russia. The reason why iShockYou chose Northwest Russia is unclear, but he quickly had help from Umptoyou (Co-Founder) of NorthPass. The early days of NorthPass were making a Street and a Town Hall. We quickly got to work grinding and slowly expanding NorthPass.

### Expansion of NorthPass

NorthPass was quickly growing at a rapid rate with new projects being done every day. iShockYou started selling items for a good price at NorthPass which became recognized as a friendly trade town. The first nation NorthPass ever joined was GB, but soon revolted to join USE or United Slavic Empire which was led by itsme\_joe during the time in USE NorthPass was a Peaceful town expanding and growing. Soon after joining the USE, it fell apart and NorthPass decided to join a rising nation called "Russia" Russia was a dictatorship with the leader being none other than Zommbie.

### Russia Era

During this time NorthPass was a decently sized town with an airport and some other neat structures. This also happens to be the time when Umptoyou went inactive and a new comayor AvaitorJames helped out. When NorthPass was a part of Russia residents of NorthPass got their first taste of combat at the siege of Rome. Due to the Unstable nature of Russia at the time and the Leader being hated it started to fall apart as it fell apart something happened that would change NorthPass.

### First Siege of NorthPass

As Russia began to collapse the nation called Eastern Federation laid siege to NorthPass. The reasoning behind the siege was to grab towns from the falling nation of Russia. During this siege iShockYou was quite poor only having a python and a type 95 at the time. Residents of NorthPass decided to resist the siege and started shooting any enemies. As iShockYou quickly got surrounded he ran on top of the town hall and started firing on the enemies below killing one in the process. As the siege was starting to come to an end a new ally would show up and kill the attacker. The nation helped was known as Polaris which was attempting to take over the world at the time. As Polaris pushed the attackers off they wouldn't come help after the battle and instead focus on other sieges and at the end ,iShockYou surrendered the siege.

### Russian Empire

As NorthPass grew so did the amount of money and claims it owned and soon decided to create a nation which would be calledthe Russian Empire. The Original Russian Empire was created on 5/21/2020 which slowly grew. Some Notable towns during this time were

* NorthPass (Capital)
* Fort Snow
* Murmansk

As the Russian Empire continued to grow so did the amount of enemies this later led to many people not liking the Russian Empire. During the Original Russian Empire, this is when iShockYou started to experiment with player owned shops. This is the time when NorthPass started to become a Known shopping place. As more time went by more towns started to join.

### Second siege on NorthPass

Due to the amount of hatred for the Russian Empire led to another siege on NorthPass. The attacker were Alagadda which was starting to make a name for itself as a Strong nation. iShockYou and the rest of the nation knew this siege wasn't winnable as the Russian Empire has no military. So iShockYou quickly tried to make a peace deal with Alagadda. The Terms were

1. Pay 15k
2. Give up lots of weapons including deagles and AK's
3. Have No standing Military

Note: This could be little off

With no Choice Russian Empire accepted the ridiculous peace offer and merged into Alagadda, but something incredible happened.

### Towny Rollback

A day after losing the Russian Empire and NorthPass the town files corrupted causing a rollback one day in the past. This caused Russian Empire to be reborn, after this happened Leader of Alagadda KoenUp was furious that a rollback caused him to lose a Nation which he sieged and then merged into Alagadda. As Tsar iShockYou took advantage of the situation a new deal was made which involved KoenUp giving up most of the weapons back to iShockYou and iShockYou getting Coking of Alagadda.

### Alagadda Era

During the Alagadda Era is when iShockYou got most of his combat experience as Alagadda began sieging many towns and making new enemies. This is the time iShockYou would begin on his shopping center that would make NorthPass one of the best Shopping Centers on the server. Also, this is the time when iShockYou started mass selling End rods for very cheap and Martian Heads which were in High Demand. This made NorthPass a very rich town with a peak wealth of 135k. Donating some money to help with the Alagadda war effort. As Alagadda reached it's peak so did NorthPass.

### The rain of the Second Russian Empire

This time was quite tricky as a lot of stuff happened during this time as Alagadda began to fell. NorthPass left Alagadda to start another Russian Empire. This Russian Empire lasted the Longest being almost exactly one month before falling apart. During the second Russian Empire is when I met CapsuleJ which will become my third comayor he helped out with resident area and fixing up major eyesores in the town. Most of the time was peaceful with a few towns joining. As the Russian Empire began to slowly grow once again so did the hatred for the Russian Empire. Which led to the only siege won on NorthPass.

### Third Siege on NorthPass

As tensions with Polaris reached a High they decided to lay siege to NorthPass on the North end of the peninsula near the start of the siege it wasn't looking to good as they already got a lot of points from capping banner. As things were not looking towards the best a new ally would change the tide of the battle. A mix of old Alagadda soldiers helped out with the siege and thing were looking up.

#### **iShockYou Echest Wipe**

As the siege continued something happened that would change iShockYou's mood. After logging one iShockYou saw that he spawned in Africa with 16 bread and the help book. After going back to NorthPass he realized his Inventory and echest got wiped. iShockYou kept over 70k of stuff in his ehcest including nukes, guns and a beacon. This caused him to merge into Koen's nation thinking all hope is lost and on the verge of quitting Nova.

### Turning Point

As the siege continue a new feature was added the changed the tide of the thing and that feature was none other than "Banner Sickness". This caused people to stay away from banner if they didn't you would be blinded, slowed and poisoned all at once. As the attackers were heavily affected by banner sickness the defenders started to mass cap and keep banner for the whole siege. Which led to a defender victory of -40k.

### Third Russian Empire

This Russian Empire was Short lived only lasting around 7 Hours. The reasoning behind this Short lived nation is Disneyland lead by StoopadBatman offered me a deal of 10k and coking for his nation. So I would make my money back from nation refund and 10k stooped was giving me.

### Fourth and Final Russian Empire

This is the last Russian Empire created by iShockYou, iShockYou decided to keep the nation neutral and once again the Russian Empire started to grow as a peaceful nation. As the Russian Empire kept on growing iShockYou decided to invite Area 51 to the nation whose mayor was ryebread7923 an infamous pvper and previous leader of the nation Land of Liberty. Ryebread was made coking of the nation and in doing, so he invited KindOfAsianDante who was very hated at the time. When his town joined it was very unpopular with people on nova. This event led to the most Important event in NorthPass history

### Fourth Siege on NorthPass

This is by far the most important siege that happened on Nova after inviting Dante (see Novan Japanese Unification Attempts) to the nation it caused Polaris to once again siege NorthPass again. There was very little allies to help the Russian Empire the only other nation to help was Antarctic lead by Devil4Life. Being outnumbered by over 6 nations at the time we knew the siege was going to be hard. The attackers' siege near the shopping center in the water. The battles were really intense with sometimes up to 15 people on banner at once. As the attacker kept a lead of 20k the whole siege we knew the chance of winning was very low, but we still tried are best. In the end the siege was lost and before the siege was over iShockYou decided to pack everything up and get ready for NorthPass to be put in ruins. As iShockYou finished packing up he left NorthPass with the left over money and Founded Moscow as a new Town.

### The rebirth of NorthPass

As iShockYou had some temporary towns he decided to go and reclaim NorthPass once again. He left his current town of Fort Ice and remade NorthPass. As he reclaimed NorthPass he decided it was best to join the Eastern Federation, because east fed was a peaceful nation where he could focus on rebuilding and reclaiming NorthPass.

### Eastern Federation Era

During time under Eastern Federation was for the most part peaceful. The leader of EFED was Rootbeer\_356 who iShockYou quickly got along with and soon iShockYou was given coking of Eastern Federation. Eastern Federation is part of a alliance called the "Central Powers". Which is a 3 nation alliance consitsing of Nova Roma, Deutsches Riech and Eastern Federation.

## Terroism and Other Conflicts

### SuperTNT and ADM8 Terroism issue

When the Russian Empire was first formed it soon was hated by SuperTNT and ADM8 who would come kill residents of NorthPass. In most cases they would come nuke 15 times in one day. At some point iShockYou was to scared to step out of claims in fear of NorthPass being camped by ADM8.

### Russian Empire Nuke Fest

When Nukes were easy to obtain people would consitenly nuke NorthPass just for the fact of NorthPass being part of the Russian Empire it got so bad at one point residents of NorthPass were leaving over losing there Items to nukes being thrown at NorthPass left and right.

### Shop Stealing issue

When NorthPass was going into ruins iShockYou decided to save everyones items from being Stolen this instead cause a problem with people hating on iShockYou for stealing peoples items from their shops. This issue was quickly resovled once everyone got their stuff back.
