Less than a week after my return, the famous PvPer and venture capitalist KiwiSlider was taking notice to my writing exploits. With poems written about multiple players and groups, it seems I had proven myself to be a true figure in the Constantiam community. Kiwi chose to honor my efforts with a gift of his rare, un-dupable KiwiBrand Status Tenue kit: [https://minecraftarchives.com/archives/kiwibrand-status-tenue] And here's the certificate of authenticity: [https://minecraftarchives.c...read more

Shortly after the release of FitMC's video about 2b2t's notorious griefer, popbob, using a backdoor to the server to acquire portal frames – and someone subsequently glitching an end portal announcement to the server – at the tip of everyone's mind was the infamous end portal opening sound and how it could be related to a backdoor. Leveraging this knowledge, KiwiSlider began hunting for un-opened portals and opening them up just to make people think he had backdoored the server, too. Of c...read more

After taking the server by storm with my flurry of poem writing, I dropped poems all around spawn and nether spawn. I began writing about Constantiam and its players, mostly, with a few sprinklings of my own inspiration. After a couple of days, KiwiSlider submitted my name for approval to be invited to the Spawnfagzia base. I was accepted the same day and I went a hundred blocks out and built a little mountain hut with a cozy room and fireplace to write more of my works.read more

After a long hiatus, I'm back and ready to explore and write lots of poems in books. Here's my first poem on my return, I got randomly inspired to write a poem about someone talking in the chat: [https://minecraftarchives.com/archives/bill-s-dad]read more

There is a giant gap in my timeline because I got busy with work. This may happen again.read more

Throughout Sanvar's presidential campaign, he promised mandatory IQ tests that all newfriends must take, to preserve Constantiam's unique culture, and to bring Constantiam socks to the people! While all of these campaign promises seem like a bunch of memes, I am astounded by how such an inspiring leader is somehow delivering. As of the writing of this post (Dec. 19, 2020), I have witnessed how his mere presence on the server has inspired an entire community to administer the mandatory IQ ...read more

I know this is not something I did, but it's on my timeline because it wouldn't have happened without my inception of Northeast Gang. Mankool wanted to make commuting to and from locations for the overworld highway builds, so in synchronization with his overworld builds, he had another account digging the nether highway. Partially supplied by myself and Northeast Gang, mankool also used a large number of his own supplies to achieve this accomplishment. He impressed me so much, one of my m...read more

During this time, I am fully committed to being a Northeasterner. Maintaining highways, repairing the milestones at 50k, 100k, and 200k. After an anonymous arsonist burned down 100k, I later found members of the group called 'PVG' destroy the 200k landmark as well. Here is my rebuild, making it even bigger and better!

After trading him some of my books, CuBoyd decided to employ me to help him dupe some meme kits. While we were at it, I made some meme kits of my own. Here's a couple of CuBoyd kits that we duped: [https://minecraftarchives.com/archives/cuboyd-dyes-flowers] And here's a kit that was exclusively duped at the CuBoyd-Scribe stash: [https://minecraftarchives.com/archives/cuboyd-pve-shulker] And here's the meme kits that I duped.

As with what is typical when I get hyper-obsessed with a videogame, I start thinking in obtusely grandiose terms and take on projects that will take me years to finish, if I ever finish them at all. And thus, in the heat of my Minecraft obsession, Northeast Gang was born. I began tinkering with automation and would eventually write the NEGang Manifesto as a way to spread awareness about the project in-game: [https://minecraftarchives.com/archives/negang-manifesto]read more
