## History

### Day 17

Scot joined the server for the first time, spawning in the middle of Australia near the Australian Triforce. He became a member of the New Hawaii faction with his friends, Jameskii and Eret.

He then participated in building the Great Pyramid of Steve at the Arafura Sea between New Hawaii and the Bean Empire, getting to know with other players such as KaraCorvus, TanningOil, and DinksterDaily in the process. At one point, he attempted to stop Wilbur and Charlie from escaping the construction site because the duo claimed that the pyramid project was a scam. He infiltrated Charlie's plane and joined Wilbur on board. Charlie then decided to despawn his stolen plane, causing both aboard the plane to fall to their death. This had resulted in a declaration of war by Newfoundland against New Hawaii.

Some times later, Scot joined Eret in exploring southern parts of Asia. They ended up expanding the borders of their faction and claimed the entire nation of India, Nepal and parts of the Himalayas. Their expedition reached its literal peak when they conquered the unclaimed Mount Everest and renamed it as Mount Everet. At the top of the mountains, both of them made a pact to establish a conglomerate named Ursus, combining Eret's personal company, *Eret Corporation*, and Scot's own personal enterprise, *Scot Incorporation*.

### Day 18 *(Discovering the World)*

Scot began his stream by discovering Kara in his Australian home base via Dynmap. He inquired on her business there, to which she replied she was going to get some bamboos, but the faction claim prohibited her to do so. He offered to give some to her but not until he reached there via boat from India. He spent the arduous boat trip across the Indian Ocean singing sea shanties and regaling the viewers with various tales and stories. Once he reached the land down under, he found Kara suspiciously setting up a redstone-powered piston flying machine. He tried stopping the machine by blocking and sending it drilling through the jungle instead, but Kara managed to fix it and let it harvest the bamboos.

The machine went on destroying the roof of Jameskii's AFK fish farm which led to Scot condemning this as an act of war. Kara challenged him to a duel to settle the dispute, but Scot conceded due to his poor state of armor. The matter was resolved as Scot let Kara leave with the bamboos with the assurance that no harm was done. Though he called her out as a thief, the incident inspired him to construct his own flying machine in the future.

He then set out journeying via boat to Port-aux-Francais to witness VoiceOverPete's progress on the Boomer Bridge. Initially, Pete struggled to contact Scot via public in-game chat but later managed to extend his courtesy and welcomed Scot into their base. Upon his arrival on the bridge, Scot nearly got killed by Pete's minecart (who was drinking at the time), which Pete himself said while the bridge served as a mean of transportation between the Antarctic Empire's bases, it also doubled as a "weapon of mass destruction" if one is to stand precariously on the rail (foreshadowing Kara's death on Day 20).

The two boomers arrived at Port-aux-Francais, to which the younger boomer (Scot) was almost speechless and astonished by the sheer scale of the central palace as well as the high speed of the railway, earning his respect for the Antarctic Empire. He then expressed his interest in establishing an embassy on the empire's territory with a peaceful intent, to which Pete agreed. However, Scot would have to seek the leader of the faction, Technoblade's permission first for the location of the embassy within the empire. Scot and Pete both bade farewell to each other, to which Pete admired Scot as a "remarkable man ... who bears no ill will".

   En route to Madagascar, Scot managed to capture two tropical fishes (red cichlid and Moorish idol) and a pufferfish (celebrated with AUGH) in the Indian Ocean. A memorial of the wooden pillar, a crafting table, and a furnace was left there in the middle of the ocean to commemorate the event.

Realizing that MadaNASCAR had been abolished and the island now claimed by Bean Empire with nothing much to be found there, Scot proceeded to Africa instead. But his adventure in the continent was cut short due to an abundance of hostile mobs and a warning from Pete for trespassing Antarctic South Africa.

As Scot explored a volcano in Congo, Eret proposed a controversial idea to claim another volcano in Indonesia, which could be profitable for their business since it is located between India and Australia. However, the Indonesian volcano is currently claimed by New Montana, thus negotiation needed to be arranged with Kwite if they wish to proceed with it. Eret then picked Scot up from the African wilderness and about to send him to the Kingdom of Jordan for further negotiation, but not before Scot's connection to the server failed and he fell to his death upon relog.

He was later respawned back in Australia which dampened his progress of the negotiation. Nonetheless, Scot mustered his courage and returned to the Arabian peninsula to continue his endeavor. Along the way, he managed to contact two other faction leaders for the embassy proposition. Sp00n of Arkansonia had no problem accepting the offer, but Kara was initially insulted on how Scot's pronunciation of her empire's name. This was rectified immediately and new alliances were made. He even offered Sp00n stacks of Hawaiian dirt, to which Sp00n gladly accepted, and Fijian waters for Arkansonia. In return, Sp00n also offered him a bucket of Anti-Christ milk, much to Scot's surprise as to the nature of the said cow.

Upon reaching the site of his death, Scot was again killed, this time by a creeper. This, plus his bad connection to the server, had severely impacted his journey (and motivation) to go on with the original plan. Hence, he desperately contacted CaptainSparklez himself to keep an eye on his stuff whilst also explaining his intention to set up an embassy in the Kingdom of Jordan. Scot was also given a plane by Kara due to the travelling difficulty. Nevertheless, he decided to end the stream due to a server crash on his end.

### Day 20 *(Creating Diplomacy)*

Scot continued his diplomatic mission by setting up embassies in Arkansonia, the Corvarian Empire and the Kingdom of Jordan.

Scot was given a compromise by Kara to build the embassy with polished stones, instead of the initial "quartz-or-nothing" offer. However, after learning the fact that he's representing a faction that had already allied with the German Empire which happens to be the enemy of the Corvarian Empire, Kara hesitated on having a New Hawaiian embassy built in her territory, while Scot himself had a conflict of interest. In the end, he declared that the construction of the embassy in the Empire will have to wait for further and clearer instruction from his faction superior.

Scot had also discovered a "prison camp" (suspicious-looking villager trading hall) that Kara had set up, surrounded by bamboos presumably from the Great Bamboo Heist she committed at New Hawaii on Day 18. He inquired whether the UN was informed of such action. Kara responded that this matter would be none of their concern and that the villagers were out of harm. Scot reminded her of how past wars in the real world were triggered by similar acts by a certain European leader, to which she replied that she is not a European. Scot added that the Armenian Genocide was done by the Ottoman Empire, the country she is based on. Kara refuted the claim by letting him know the server is an alternate world where her Corvarian Empire is the only empire ever existed in Turkey, and the same goes with the Corvarian Hong Kong. Scot stood corrected and agreed to retreat as promised.

   Later, Sp00n informed Scot of a plot of Arkansonian land reserved for the New Hawaiian embassy. Delighted to hear the good news, Scot travelled to the Emerald Hill, Arkansonia and rendezvoused with Sp00n. Afterwards, Scot successfully set up a meeting with Technoblade. It was only after watching a clip of the Antarctic Weapon Experiment that Scot realized the prowess of the Empire's might.

Nonetheless, he entered Technoblade's Palace bravely even when faced with intimidation. Despite Scot's persuasion and convincing, Techno left him on reading and Pete, acting as the empire's spokesperson, informed that the Antarctic Empire demanded a better proposition offer. At this point, Scot has veered off from a pacifist diplomat to a capitalist opportunist, stating the inevitability of "breaking few eggs to make an omelet" and that he'd rather watch the world burn if it would bring global peace. So, he went back to Australia and started planning on how to appease the Empire, including a proposition to supply the firearms for the Empire, believing that war is profitable.

Scot proposed to Pete and Ph1l that with the Empire's permission, he would mine diamonds in South Africa and all profits will go directly to fund the Empire in the wars to come. However, both members of the Antarctic Empire were reluctant as Techno was absent at the time and Pete instead asked him to mine the unclaimed areas near north and east Siberia as well as some parts in the northern Scandinavia. In a desperate attempt to gain Technoblade's trust, Scot planned to find a wolf that he would name as 'Floof', the same name given to Techno's real-life dog. However, his search for the canine was futile.

Some times later, Scot contacted CaptainSparklez for the embassy proposal, to which Jordan accepted wholeheartedly. Scot also volunteered to participate in the construction of Petra in his kingdom by digging out the foundation along with Kara, Sp00n and of course, Jordan himself. Throughout the excavation process, he overheard Jordan's adventure in the Arctic region including his near-death experience in the ice and the "rescue mission" by Kara and Sp00n afterwards. Scot suffered from a mild case of lag and drop of frame rates due to entity cramming caused by Jordan's base. At one point, Jordan gave Scot a Mending book to fix one of his armour. In the end, they all managed to complete the task, as Jordan and Sp00n concluded their stream for the day and they all parted ways.

Scot then continued his search for a potential Floof while discussing the rationale of his action. He stated that while fear of Technoblade's ferocity by other players is fair, one could be considered naive to assume the pig cannot be reasonable and negotiated with, adding that "even gods are reasonable". He ventured into the wilderness of Siberia where soon after, he was able to acquire 2 wild dogs for the taking. Kara and Tommy joined him in the VC where the two faction leaders participated in a trade negotiation session. Scot was warned by his chat not to trust Tommy due to his recent entanglement with the Antarctic Empire.

The arduous task of ferrying the dog all the way to his home base in Australia took him about an hour as he evaded hostile mobs for days and nights and boated across the Pacific Ocean to the land down under. He hoped that with this gift soon, Techno would learn to appreciate his effort and reconsider the peace pact Scot had offered earlier for the betterment of both factions.

### Day 25

Scot logged on with one goal: to bring Floof to the Antarctic Empire as a peace offering and establish diplomacy with the cold faction. However, his attempt to connect with the only member of the faction online at the time, VoiceOverPete was rejected over and over again, as Pete was busy finishing his railway from the Boomer Bridge up to the Antarctic base. Distraught, Scot resorted to wait for another time to make the deal.

He was later joined by Jameskii, leader of his faction, and AllanahVA, one of the latest players joining the server. After about half an hour of interaction, Scot became a father figure and adopted Allanah as his daughter. This could cause a conflict of interest as Allanah is a member of Packle currently in a state of war with the Antarctica Empire.

### Day 26

After spending some time on the server, Scot decided to log off for the night and played a round of Jackbox Games called Quiplash which required audience participation. Meanwhile, VoiceOverPete was also ending his stream and was looking for a streamer to raid. He happened to find Scot still streaming and playing Quiplash, where one of the questions that came up was "Something you should never say when pulled over by a small-town sheriff". The choice of answers was either "hey nice c\*ck" and "a small pecker for a small town". Pete was visibly disappointed by this, saying "really Scot? I was going to give it to you" and proceeded to raid BeefStew instead. Shocked by this when told by some of his viewers, Scot felt horrendous and promised to apologize to Pete on stream for the accidental indecency. He then approached Kara with the recent anecdote, who thought he did nothing wrong and he will be fine. Scot slowly lost his mind as he tried to cope with the incident up and plays several songs from the 2019 psychological thriller movie, Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix. "This be a clown moment," as one would say. Later that same day, Scot streamed again (to be continued)
