It was an old server named SnapGaming. It shut down a long time ago, so no - I'm not trying to advertise. It was Factions.
Befor buying Minecraft, I had played Singleplayer for roughly half of a year, so I wasn't exactly new to Minecraft.
This story begins in around August of 2012, which is when my MCSG forum account was made. I'm slightly confused as to when/how the timeline begins and aligns with MCSG, so it might have been 2011, but I'm not sure.
I searched for a survival server, and found the IP. I joined the server, and very soon after I left spawn, I got killed. But I was reading the chat, and there was so much going on. I was excited.
A week later, the server shut down. However, there was news of a Towny alternative to the server that was open.
I joined the Towny server, and realized it was a much more peaceful, friendly community. I asked around searching for a town to join, and a player named "killcom225" invited me to his. I eagerly accepted, and soon teleported to my new town, which had just started out. I helped gather resources, and start creating plots. I built my own house, built from birch and oak wooden planks with large glass windows.
Fairly soon, I was promoted to Town Assistant, and was given more responsibilities. I was starting to learn the workings of the server, and had a rivalry with a big-name player in the biggest, strongest, most aggressive town in the entire server. I nearly got raided several times, but managed to pull through.
Skip forwards around two months.
I was now the leader of my town, as the old leader had been banned after passing on mayor-ship to me and then cursing out the server owner. (I never figured out why, despite still being in contact with him once in a while to this date)
My old rival had become a strong friend, and I had transformed my little old town into a powerhouse with 30-some active members, and several of the richest players on the server. I was helping out around the server, and was hoping to become a staff member soon.
One day, the server owner logged on, and introduced a new rank - Guide. I was among the first 5 players instated to Guide, as there were only three Moderators at the time, only one of which was particularly active, and the owner himself only logged on around once a month.
I would keep writing, but I don't really think anyone cares about this. XD
