It all happened one day . A very magical day. The day that was one year ago (exact) . I was so jealous of my friends having Minecraft . I decided to buy the game when I earn the money ( cuz im broke ) . In the meantime , I wanted to play a free version of Minecraft . So , I went to Minecraft.net . I spotted multiplayer for classic and clicked on it . It gave me a selection of freerunning servers. I wanted to go on a zombie survival because I love zombie apocolypse stuff ( its gonna happen) . I saw loads of choices . The first few were too boring. The next automaticlly kicked me out . I thought of second thoughts about playing Minecraft. Then , I came across something called " Blocktopia zombie survival " . I clicked on it , and the first five minute were the best. I kept playing for months and months , making friends online , like Solis22/JWhitty and xXxFruitNinjaxXx . Then , on April 30th ( I think ) , the freerunning server got shut down because nobody played it that much. I have to cry myself to sleep every night , thinking about my friends on there , never getting to chat with them and play zombie , lava , or tnt survival with them again. To this day , even though I can still talk to you guys (my friends ) on forums , I still cry every once in a while , knowing since my computer is so slow , I cannot update Minecraft ( cuz I finally bought it ! ) , which means I cannot play with you guys on the servers . Yet . But I will be there one day , playing with you guys , losing , and eating popcorn , just like the old days. If you miss me and my annoyance and calling you names like , DarkHender = Darkie , and BubblyPanda = Bubblez , answer me back ASAP . I love you all , you all are champions in the world. Don't let people tear your dreams apart , unless your dreams are stupid. You should probably get a new dream then . Blocktopia shall live forever , and nothing will get in the way of that being wrong! Yall are leaders in life !Respect that, and go lead the world with yo crazy self!

Actually not too exciting of a story...that's not a good opening line, but eh - it's true.

After seeing a friend of mine playing Minecraft, I thought it was one of the coolest games ever - and instantly wanted it. Forget when that was exactly, I probably have it written down somewhere... who knows. But anyway, my dad bought me the game (not sure if it was for a birthday, or just as a present - I really don't remember) and I just hung out on singleplayer building stuff and finding dungeons for a long time. Eventually I discovered that Minecraft had multiplayer servers (bare in mind, I knew absolutely nothing on computers, knew how to open Word and that's about it), and began to check out Premium servers. Saw nothing to interesting, so began to look through classic servers. I liked what I saw, so I began to actively play classic servers, eventually getting some friends to play the servers too.

Me and my friends hopped from server to server goofing off and causing general mayhem. Think I was banned more than a few times, I remember being all freaked out thinking Notch would somehow find out how I was banned on servers, and would take away my account. What fun. Anyway, after being banned from yet another server - I just happened to look for a 'zombie' server, and up came up the good 'ole Blocktopian Zombie Survival Server. I hung around there, had fun, made memories, applied for Trusted after a few months (got denied for my breaking of forum / server rules), and then took Vatumok's advice ''ask questions'' and tried to learn a lot on the server and eventually reapplied. I was accepted, and my staffing career began. I was eventually promoted to Operator, I resigned after several months of staffing due to school, found school wasn't effecting my schedule to much and reapplied for Trusted and was accepted once again. As server activity dwindled, I became bored with the game and resigned (I did not go down with my ship, and that's perhaps the biggest regret I have in this community).

Somewhere in that time, Elysium began. I thought it was the best Premium server I had ever visited. I was especially interested in the custom made dungeons, and set out to make one. With the help of Hockeyfan1852, and Shadova (77_is_the_best) - Shabti's Tomb was created. The first player-made dungeon. As Zombies came to an end, I became even more active on the server and submitted two other dungeons (Cyrus' Mausoleum, and The Undead's Revenge). At this time, superstein and Sploorky (Directors at the time) offered me the position of Trusted on the server. I was amazed and thrilled, but waited a few weeks before accepting their proposal due to testing at school. I eventually did accept and became a Trusted on the server. It was a very odd Trusted experience this go around, as I mainly spent most of my energy and time on the Elysium Isles Project, trying to make it one of the coolest things ever. After a few weeks, I was promoted to Operator - and a few months after that, I was promoted to Controller. And after another few weeks, I was promoted to Director.

And that's about it! Tried to keep it short. 8)

I'll try to write as much as possible :3

I got introduced to minecraft by a friend. I started playing classic a year later. I searched for 'lava' on the classic website and found Blocktopia.

I don't exactly remember the first time I joined, although I had kept a few logs of it. Well, because of various reasons, I wasn't too interested, so I never went back for quite a while.

After the exams, my family brought me to a holiday in China. Since YouTube was blocked, I turned to gaming. Then I remembered about classic minecraft, specifically Blocktopia lava survival. That was probably the time where I was most active before classic shutdown

30th April, 2013. I can never forget that date. The classic servers shutdown when I was in school. I was about to quit Blocktopia when a generous person (bram13) donated me a premium account.

When I first joined premium, I still remember thinking about joining in RoF. However, I found it to be completely different from classic lava. In the end, I joined JtE.

So far, Blocktopia has taught me so much. I don't really plan on staying forever due to studies, but until that day, I'll always stick to Blocktopia as my favourite minecraft community :)

So here's my little story of how I came to be where I am now,

It all started when I found this game whilst browsing the Internet called Minecraft. I remember playing the demo and I was all "OMG this is so cool, what the hell do I do though?!" Then by some freak accident I hit a tree and then broke it, this was amazing. I got hooked with the demo until my time ran out. I was so depressed and didn't play for almost a year until I heard someone talking about it and decided I would have another go. So after mucking around with the demo I finally found some money to buy a minecraft account. I bought minecraft within the first 1000 buyers, yeah I know you would think I'd have a cooler name but that's a whole different story.

So I played single player for ages until I accidentally clicked multiplayer, I found a small SkyBlock server and obtained a staff position for quite a while until they shut down and all my hopes and dreams were ruined. I didn't play minecraft for about 2 months until one of my friends bought minecraft, so I googled and searched until I found out about Blocktopia. I got hooked on Lava Survival and made, yes MADE my friend join. We were both hooked and couldn't stop playing. Then I got bored of RoF after obtaining Master. So I joined BuildBox, this was where I was meant to be all along. To this very day I play BBB everyday nonstop.

Along the way I played Jte, after being banned once I read the rules correctly and saw it wasn't a raiding server. Oops, but then I was banned again for the same reasons. (Sorry Fali :( ). I also applied for an operator position on BBB which was denied due to me being banned on Jte.

Thanks to everyone of you for making this the best server ever! I hope to reapply for operator in the future and make more friends. So that's my little story on how I came to be here at Blocktopia. :)

Well I totally meant to post this yesterday but here goes.

My time with Blocktopia actually started out on Classic Lava where I admit I was lost and had no clue what I was doing. About 2 months after I got into classic I got banned (ip-banned) due to my sister griefing. I stopped playing minecraft for a bit after that but then got into Classic Zombies July 29th. After a few months on that server I decided I wanted to be Trusted. And man did I screw up the first couple times, one of them including writing on Intensik's profile why he should hand pick me. After getting a warning for asking every op for a reference regardless of if they knew me I started to reconsider what it meant to be a Trusted. I waited for a good while after that and then applied again and it got accepted. I served as staff on Zombie for about a year and a half and before RoF was announced. At first I ridiculed the idea of a Premium Lava server because I never really got into Classic lava. I ended up loving it though. After about the first month of it being up I decided to apply, that first one was denied. My second application was accepted though and now look where I am. A controller on a server I thought never would work at first.

Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became blocktopia's heir!

Skrew you I wanted to say this :c. Anyway, I'll be posting my story tomorrow because to late to type a lot.
Hey, hey, hey, you're not from Philadelphia. If anyone should have said this, it should have been me~!

Let's jump back in time to a far off land. A land from where legends are born and myths come about. A land.. called March 2010.. Back in super early 2010, originally I joined the servers World of Minecraft. I was already with them for a month by the time I learned of TheOne's Zombie Survival server. When I first learned of it, I went to try it out. I had a few rage fits, if you were in my house to hear my yelling "CHEATER! I WAS SO NOT TOUCHED!!!1!one!" constantly. Within a few months of playing, I befriended Megatron and when I got zombified, he summoned me away from the ground to an unreachable place, gave me building permission, and we built houses in the maps. Sure, the builds never remained, but it was fun when we could do that. Eventually, I was pestered by a few people I knew to apply for Operator of Zombie survival. During the time when it was still TheOne's Minecraft, I applied and became an operator for zombie. Though soon after, SMP was released. I was playing single player more than zombie, so I started to become inactive. Eventually I lost operator all together because I was too inactive. MindCrafty had me converted from Zombie to SMP. This conversion happened significantly later on. But getting Op didn't happen until early 2011, if I recall. I was actually one of the highest in ranks for staff in World of Minecraft (former ranks: Guest - Spectator - Member - Veteran / Builder - Designer - Architect - Moderator - Operator{Administrator} - Executive - Owner). I was Executive rank, but I resigned it to come here.

Soon after Crafty converted me from Zombie to SMP, I rose up to the rank of Trusted on SMP. I was building my own town called Tropical at one point in SMP, back then. This is Tropical as it was when the map was reset.
Sometime soon after this town was when I obtained Trusted. Oh, that roller coaster wasn't my idea. Blame deadl0ck for that. I think that town had 37 people living in it? Somewhere around there. Soon after getting Trusted rank, I overheard discussion of my being promoted to Operator. Seeing as the color for Operator was purple (still is for pLava...) I outright told Crafty to not promote me to Operator. I dislike purple and I didn't want to wear it. Pink is fine, but I dislike purple. Despite being given the opportunity to become Operator a few times, I always stood firm by my choice. Soon after, around June 2011, I had a rage-quit because of a few reasons. One of which was a new member being yelled at for not following the community on twitter/checking the forums. This is all in the past now, so I don't really care about that anymore. This went on for the last two years until recently when Clockwork was promoted to RoF VetOp.

So, hi. I've been playing RoF for the last few months. Occasionally doing 12+ hours per day of play. I want Grandmaster already, dammit! (It is coming today, I swear!)

Well...I know I left but I figured I'd quickly post here, just once. (My story isn't particularly exciting anyway). :p

I'd just got Minecraft, and a friend suggested I try "lava survival". I joined this random server, cannot remember much about it, and I started playing there for a little bit. Anyway, one day, whilst choosing the lava survival server, I misclicked and chose [Blocktopia] Zombie Survival. I was about to just log off and go back to my other server, but something caught my eye. I stayed around, and quickly feel in love with this fantastic community. I joined the forums on New Years 2012, became a trusted player for a few weeks, then was promoted to operator in Feb 2012. I held that rank until May 2013, then the server shut down. I then transferred to JtE, had an incredible time there, helped create the village of Aotearoa and became an Aristocrat. In September 2013, I formally left the community. (This post is a one off time). :) The end.

hi

I joined in july 13, 2013 2012 2011 2010

I had just been banned on a server i played for 1 day (i got banned for "griefing" since my left mouse button was like "screw you" and got stuck). before that i was introducted to minecraft by some Rokoshu guy on a forums i used to go on on july 12, 2010.
I sent an email to notch because i was a 9 year old noobie asking to be unbanned. of course he didn't reply because he was probably like "some dumb noobie, meh". I was eventually unbanned a month later though, so its no biggie now.
So I sucked it up and found some server. it was called "TheOne's Zombie". I was like "what the hell? hackers managed to hack minecraft to a zombie survival?" so i curiously clicked on the link.
I was right, except there were no hackers. The first thing I saw was a round starting on the map "ship". I didn't know what to do so I just ran around and I was eaten.

a few days later i found that TheTwo's TheOne's had other servers as well. I liked build server the most and somehow i got promoted to adv builder (the equivalent to trusted back then) by PandaBear. Speaking of PandaBear, he's a she. i later joined the forums on August 12, 2010.
i left from sept 2010 - oct 2010 because build fucked up and was down for a month. when it came back up I rejoined.

surprise! a 10 year old kiddie is promoted to build operator. people always thought i was like 18 or something. i was surprised and i did not tell my age until my aristocrat application.

i was demoted on january 1, 2011, because of misconduct. i wasnt that surprised though, because barely 10 years old. i later moved back to the zambies zombie survival.
i became handpicked to trusted on july 2011.

then i was demoted from trusted for some unspecified reason, no one told me, some people said i was demoted to make space
being demoted from trusted was the worst moment in Blocktopia that i ever experienced, it made me leave blocktopia for months

then i reluctantly visited buildbox and got hooked once again
THEN DAVID MET SUPERSTEIN AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE

:-) the end :)

Double post <3

Here is the soundtrack to this story:


I joined in Feb of 2012 on Lava, after a build server that I had got 'Super moderator' or some joke like that on. I remember being angry that promotions to Mod+ were no longer based on buildings on that server, but now on how well they moderate. How was I supposed to moderate? How would I prove myself? Either way, server had a bit of rough uptimes before it was shut down for good, sadly. Guess its name 'Newb City' was the perfect place for me.

Aaaanyway, after getting the rank of crafter on lava... and funny unrelated story - I remember going to bed, but I kept my keyboard and mouse in bed with me and AFK'd on lava so as not to get kicked. I ended up getting AFK kicked for not talking or something, which I was mad about, because I made such an effort not to. Also a really stupid one.

One day I heard two staff members talking about the TNT tourney. They were asking each other if they signed up for the TNT tournament. I was interested so I looked it up on the forums. I signed up and went to TNT and played it. I played my first match on TheKeep and I loved it. Some samples of my first-day logs:

[2012-03-30 20:55:50] superstein: what block is pistol?
[2012-03-30 20:55:56] [Grenadier] SparklyMuffinz: Medium gray for pistol
(thanks SparklyMuffinz )
[2012-03-30 21:01:36] superstein: sparkly how do you get ranks

[2012-03-30 21:02:23] superstein: how do i buy multiple pistils?

[2012-03-30 21:12:21] 1. superstein - K: 13 D: 12
[2012-03-30 21:13:05] superstein: i am epic at this lol

I played this for a while and waited for my tournament. My partner and I tried to find each other, but eventually he gave up and I passed the round. My other partner too did not show up, so I was on my third match, in the second round. I was playing HarmakPaul and I got crushed. It was on BridgeOfFate and I recall only getting about 2 or 3 kills. I was mad but I didn't really care. I kept playing TNT for a while and applied for Trusted as soon as time allowed me to. I was denied, but given some encouraging comments:

No offense, but I do not think he is ready at all for it. Having him a staff rank, would only make me feel uncomfortable.

Dont think he is ready for the responsibility. At least not yet

I'm a little concerned that he might not make the activity checks consistently

(but in actuality, the comments were way too kind for how I actually was at the time)

The next month was entirely focused on becoming a Trusted. I tried very very very hard and when the month passed I dropped another application in the form. A week or so later, I got my reply after school. I was so very excited! I joined the IRC, I joined in-game and had a ton of fun on my first day. I got really really nervous when I had to warn a player for teamswitching and I asked 3 or so Operators if my actions were justified. They said yes, thankfully.

I staffed for a while, made great friends with most all of the TNT staff, and eventually took a month break. Upon my return, I played more than ever, then started to get a feeling I would be promoted to Op soon. The end of that week, I was promoted! I had quite the freakout, and again had a ton of fun as an Operator. Somewhere between this timeframe, I also became Adventure and Tournament staff. I was pretty inactive there and to be honest, was really keeping the rank to keep it. Right before I was going to resign, boom, the server shuts down.

A few months after I had become Op, classic TNT became a ghost town. I was very sure the server was going to shut down, and I had heard far too many rumors to know it was only but true. Once the new SMP came out, I wanted to still be staff, so I stuck to the premium option. I applied for Op and got Trusted out of it on Elysium. After a few weeks enjoying this rank, Marnixxie calls me on to the server because a 'guest is saying weird stuff about me.' I did not expect a promotion at all, but I joined and he gave me a 'LOL' and said 'Sorry, but you can have this.' I was an Op there now! At this point, I was regularly with Baker, Marnixxie, Qube, and lots of other SMP staff, and they became my good friends. They also taught me a lot about staffing and how things work, and to be honest it could be a big reason why I got to the position I did. I applied for VetOp when I felt it was right, and was soon accepted as the Economist. I was thrilled, it was amazing to finally be a VetOp.

I soon learned of a Premium TNT server, and we were invited to the server the day after. I thought the server was awesome. Here's a special picture of my first death:



I helped a bunch on it and was super excited for release. I had been given hints of me being promoted to a higher rank, but those soon became useless. I was offered Elysium Controller by Qube after Marnixxie's resignation and I accepted. I took the rank and Sploorky migrated to Elysium from classic Lava once it shut down, and we were a team of controllers. After a month at these positions, we were approached and were quickly given the topic of the conversation: the server needs a new Director. I didn't believe it. Sploorky and I took the roles of Director and we ran the server for a good month. He was promoted to Admin and I went on my month-long break after this, where he took over again.

I returned, and soon realized that I could not juggle a server and school. I resigned with very much hesitation and left JohnOgozalek in charge. And here I am now, very busy but with still some time to do things.

Props to those who read the whole thing! :D

My story is not over, and yet it has scarcely begun.

It started back in May of 2012. I was bored, looking through Classic servers (Because the other server I was a part of at the time was not that active yet) and I remember seeing "[Blocktopia] Zombie Survival" in the server list. First thought that came to mind was, "This could be fun... I could also wind up banned if I don't know what I'm doing." I joined anyway. The very FIRST map I played was grand_canyon. I can still remember not knowing what I was doing and just running away from everyone.

A month or so later, I got my act together. I figured out how to play, and I figured out this strange Zombie Survival server had forums. So I joined, and continued to play Zombies. (And I found out that Blocktopia had a TnT Wars and Lava Survival server, which didn't interest me too much.)

And then things went downhill. For reasons I do not wish to repeat, and reasons I've learned from, and shall never do again, I was faced with nearly getting a Global Ban. A couple weeks pass, and I find myself in some really hot water, but still able to play. I straightened up, then. I wasn't about to lose my favourite server.

And then, after a long while of enjoying the server, and may friends made, I got this thought in my head.

"I should apply for Trusted..."

I knew that I'd never do good, and decided to let it pass by. But after seeing so many of the people I knew have these abilities... I dunno, it just seemed fun. I think I may have asked one person for a reference. I don't eve think they agreed.

Then Classic shut down. Wat do.
Join AoD. Play a couple months, not active at all then get really active out of no where.

And then Solis gets off his Trial. And we had already talked about me applying for Trusted... So he referenced me. I remember spending a while on making the actual app. And being confused at the food-comparison question and adding "Catastrophic" into it. Bad Baker.

But I got accepted. I was happy, and I remember the map I was put on Trial. Colosseum. I threw an enderpearl straight up into the air, and we partied hard (not really).

And fast forward to today. A couple months off trial, and one of those "rising star's" of the Staffing circuit, making new friends and then some (You know who you are. <3). I don't know when, or if, I'll leave. But if I do, I'll leave behind an unforgettable legacy.

So woo.

It all started one day in English class in school, a friend of mine told me about this game MindCraft (or so I thought it was called). I got a pirate version of the game when it was alpha (I'm talking early 2010 here) and it was so fun.That's when I found out about classic, sure it was not so great but at least I wasn't alone anymore (At that time alpha didn't have multiplayer).

I remember browsing servers and joined a Lava Survival but the staff didn't want to start because they were on strike since the server owner left so I thought 'lava survival sux'. I joined a FreeBuild server after that and worked my way to Adv Builder with a good friend I made there. I got demoted twice from adv Builder because of flooding maps (Entire maps both times lol) Eventually my friend got promoted to Mod and I left the server since I was too ashamed to play there anymore.

Anyways this is where Blocktopia (or TheOne's at the time) kicks in.
I decided to give Lava Survival another go and found TheOne's Lava Survival. I remember my first round it was on what old lava survival players remember as 'pukemap'. Regardless if people thought classic lava was just boring because you sat there I found it pretty fun to build and chat with friends. I remember some old friends there (dirtcake, aotsftw, fukochan and me were the gang :3) Eventually aots got trusted then OP. He recommended me, dirtcake and fukochan to trusted, with only the 2 latter getting the rank. That's when I started working hard to get trusted and got accepted on my first app. As a trusted I admit my role model was Forseti.

One day, Kevin28 (The HC/Director back then) approached me on IRC and told me I got enough votes on the weekly votings (Yep, there were weekly votings to check on staff) to get OP and asked me if I was ready. I got promoted and held the rank for sometime, resigned and then applied again not too late from then.
Eventually going into Lava and staffing became more of a routine than doing it for fun. That and the fact that most of my friends were gone or were really up in the rank ladder and were too busy with it that led me to resign.

The time afterwards I played a little bit of zombie, tnt, buildbox but never getting addicted to anything as I did with Lava on my first time.
I remember being a tester for the prototype of AoD (Server wasn't even announced then) by Listings. It was just a default generated terrain map with a hunter being chosen each round.

Then LSMP was announced, I remember playing the beta and got hooked up on it. When the full version was released I applied for OP and got accepted. I was hooked up on it but it only lasted a while before I felt it was a routine again and resigned. Decided to give it a go some time later, but it ended up the same.

This is when I got bored of minecraft itself and started to get on TS more. I met alot of people from all servers and played a variety of games like transformice, LoL, etc.

As of now I'm still around on LoL and TS for alot for the occasional Board Game or Cards Against Humanity round, or even just to play LoL. I don't think I'll ever leave this community entirely ever, since I'll miss everyone here :p

Hooray for long posts \o/

For a self-centred person like myself, how could I pass up this opportunity.

I joined [Blocktopia] Zombie Survival in December 2011 (Same day as theodorre ) with a friend of mine who now smokes pot every weekend (lolwhowouldathunk). I only have two memories of that day, the first playing ripoff and thinking, "holy shit, this is fucking huge, how am I ever getting to the top" and the second winning my first round on vault17 by hiding on the outside walls of the vault and thinking that I was so cool.

I stopped playing for about 2-3 months and did other things. Then I was bored one day and thought "what was that really cool server I played on in December?". I remembered and jumped back onto Zombies and was immediately hooked.

I played everyday after school and would start to have withdrawal symptoms if I wasn't on. I was clearly addicted. I was really quiet, like most people are until I got my first friend, thatclassguy. I talked to him all the time and thought he was the most popular guy that played. He left but now that I finally talked to someone online, I felt more confident to talk on the server. I remember chasing Rose87 and basically idolizing her as the best player ever, (ooo gurl I was lyk so wrong #jk). I would follow her everywhere and chase her whenever I died. I would get such a huge sense of achievement if I outlasted her which sounds beyond pathetic lol.

I started to get people saying Hello to me when I joined and became friends with Luhvv and Elita which was barrels of fun to play with and talk to. The first time Luhv said hi to me I was like "Omg omg omg Luhv talked to me" which is even more beyond pathetic.

I was very rank hungry in June and applied for trusted. I said stuff like, I wanna help the server and stuff, but in all reality, I just wanted the shiny golden name #sorryboutit. This came back to bite me when I realised I had to actually stop playing to moderate the server. So in July I said "lol fuck this" and resigned to be a regular played again.

In September, I matured a little and decided that I would go for trusted again. This time to actually help the server rather than just get the gold name. Both Jeff0521 and I got put on our trials in the same week, him a few days before me. He passed his trial a day before that whole "server heartbeat drama" while I still had one day left. So I had to wait all the way into October the 2nd to finish my trial. I was trusted for nine days until I was promoted to operator along with Jeff and Sparklymuffins. And I moderated the server until its abyssal end for about 6-7 months.

I made a really tight-knit group of friends, Rose, Jeff, ansoro2112 and DillonSaysRawr. We would skype all the time and It was a blast. I knew basic bitches were talking about us behind our backs but that didn't phase me. They just petty doe. I still love all of them to this day, along with other friends like mariosatr, x3Ally_Cat and Sravi.

I played lava survival for around a week and I totally loved it. Talking to people like Suikae Kylieanna, DSI and Tails was one of the highlights of my time here. I told myself that I would become trusted there too after only having the minimum two weeks activeness. I got like 5-6 references in that first week but then it shuts down one day before my two weeks would have been up. I was sad that I missed that opportunity. I still remember the crazy conversations I would have with Suipls (Love ya bbycakes) and Kylie who threatened to torture me with spoons on multiple occasions.

Im just gunna put this here digitalmez. Thats all.

I left Blocktopia around a month or so after the fall of classic but I still hang around the forums games and all that jazz. I now hang onto the last popular zombie survival because I will always and forever be a classic minecraft kinda GUY (to the multiple people who still refer to me with feminine pronouns >:eek:) with people like mariosatr, Rose87 x3Ally_Cat and ansoro2112 and just recently LizzzyxD.

Long Live Blocktopia!!!

I'm pretty sure theres a thread like this (or similar, derp.)
Anyway
My story (woo!)

Anyway, so I had a friend who not many people would know, _JulZ_, and he was like "Hey, Emma (my real name derrp) I know this cool server that I'd like to show you" And I was all like "Yeah k bro lez do dis potatoness". So we sit on my couch on our laptops and he shows me classic lava (surprise surprise) I don't know any dates but I think it was around september in 2011.
I got crafter the same day and suddenly the lava went all FURIOUS AND KILLED US LIKE WTF MAN JEGRTEYWHENFJD.. And I think Araidian was on at the time (just a random fact that I somehow remember). We all suddenly got teleported to this little house thing and we were all like "waaaaaaat" and everyone was like "waaaaaaat".
The next events I don't really remember, but in the next few days I become builder (weeeee) and I have this awesome house on the 'dark forest' map, and someone floods my house. Like are you for reals man? So Kylieanna <<yes, this chick, lets me into her house. And guess how our friendship started? We both started 'meditating' and she slaps me with bacon. She. Slaps. Me. With. Bacon. Like wtf Kylie? And so like yay friendships. We end up helping each other get the advbuilder and master & we became great friends. But lets wind this back abit. During all this ranking up time I meet TONS of friends. Liek Ouh Mah GAWD.
To name afew of my (closer) friends during that timee are; Kylie (duh) Neonpenguin, xgen, Araidian, nato_potato, Mr_Minecraft_One, peckypeck, LittlePiggy, hoogilan and other fabulous potatoes of potatoness but those are the ones that were my bestestest friends that I could name off the top of my head. (I was friends with tons of staff too, go figure.)
So eventually, I got trusted (weeee!) This was only VetOp+ voting times. Like doowd. So like I got my references and we were on our way. OVERNIGHT I got all my +1s and no -1s (yay!) and the major thing I remember about my application is that my last +1 I got (cast by someone... maybe WinX, but I can't remember so potato) was because the operators, were, in his view, 'begging' to put them as a reference. And I was all like :OOO.
Some of the first messages I got once I was on my trial was; YOUNGEST. TRUSTED. EVER. and I was like C:
(At the time I was.. 11? Or 12. If this happened in 2011 then I was 11.. but JAHSGDFWTGD MY MEMORY.)
I passed my trial (whoopee!) But eventually got demoted due to, what, I wasn't sure at first. But it was explained to me that I was talking more than answering questions being asked, which disheartened me a lot. I left for a long time after that, but not only because of my loss in interest due to being disheartened, but also because my DAMN COMPUTER KEPT BLUESCREENING CONSTANTLY AND GEYRFHGRJKFS (nothing..) Eventually I came back. Not for good, it was kind of on and off the forums and sometimes playing on classic lava. But I have to say, I read the comments on my profile while I was gone which was "come back, come back" (especially Kylie who was actually like "If I could hunt you down, I would. " And at the same time that made me smile.. and crawl under my bed and hide. Like what even Kylie, what even. So eventually I half solidly came back, and needless to say I'm most likely not going to leave for a (long) time.

It all started April 2011. I was going through the classic server list when I found [Blocktopia] Lava Survival. It had a full server, so I tried it out, and at first it was kind of weird and didn't appreciate much of it, but I eventually stayed. I got addicted, and I was very (very) active, then after a month since my join, I was able to fulfill the requirements to apply as staff, which I eventually got. Then I stayed trusted for 1/2 months, going through lots of things (Trusted purge, drama and stuff), then I got Operator after a meeting one day. I had so much fun and dedication in Lava together with some friends, operators and trusteds (shout out to my trusted buddies SMB, killer, and all the other staff!)

As I was already a Lava Operator, I also tried out different Blocktopia servers, and what caught my eye is the TNT Wars server. August 13, 2011, I was promoted to Trusted following my application which I still can access (I believe so). Here are my first logs in the TNT Server:

A month after being Trusted in TNT, I had a really hard time coping with school and the like. September 19, 2011, I resigned from my position in TNT, leaving with me my Operator status in Lava. November 26, 2011, I was still a Lava Operator, and I had been in the community 8 months after I joined BT, but during that time I had been enlightened a bit with my life so I resigned from my position and quit.

4 months after (March 12, 2012) I had quit, I decided to come back since my school was over. Then April 27, 2012, I had attained the rank of Trusted in TNT again. May 26, 2012, trngl3087 offered me Trusted in the Lava server, which I gladly accepted which I eventually turned down - I sadly became inactive due to the server being different like before, and school as well, so I resigned June 16, which wasn't really taken action until July 7 when I messaged the controllers (xD). June 9, 2012 I got promoted to Operator on TNT, then that time Sparkly was VetOp with LagWarrior and other peeps, with some other friends like Kloud, Darth, Marn and lots of other amazing staff, and actually, a few of them are still with us ;). Then the year passes by, which school almost made me quit again, yet I managed to stay in the community. Then came July 2013 with big news to us: Classic TNT will be closing but there will be a new and Premium version of TNT Wars. Shortly after the release of PTNT, I was happily promoted to VetOp. Theeeeeeeeen skip to the near-present when I got buckets (Controller) along with 112 just about 2 weeks ago :)

I never expected myself to be able to spend a long time retrieving my history here and typing it all out, but all good!

Oh gosh where do I start

Alright, March 2011 I was searching on Classic multiplayer to find a Lava Survival, when I came across Blocktopia's. I joined it, in hopes of a fun lava survival to play for just that day. Then, I really enjoyed myself. The community was really nice, and the game itself was fun. So, I stuck around a little, making friends and generally enjoying myself. I applied for Trusted sometime, but didn't get it. Later I was handpicked, and if I'm honest, I did a terrible job, and was demoted on the 6th(?) of August 2011. Since then activity dropped, and I moved onto Premium. I was mainly on CMP, however I joined Araidian on SMP sometimes, which kicked butt. (Thanks man, Arai!). Not much happened apart from helping out with some grief and spam issues on CMP. Then later on, Jolteon42 helped me with Beta 1.8 pre-release, if I recall correctly. Little did I know this would be the start of me meeting someone awesome who slowly became someone I really trusted and we became good friends. (aAAA THANK YOU YOU'RE FABULOUS).
This continued until the release of Buildbox. I love this server! The boxels were awesome, then followed by cubicles, then followed by plots. They're all amazing. Late in September 2012, I applied for Operator on the server, and it got accepted on the 20th September 2012. That was all fun until early 2013, I had to resign due to IRL problems. However, those got sorted! I was then introduced to League of Legends from people in the community, which by the way is damn awesome. On the downside, my computer was totally dying on me, so I got a new one, a New Alienware X51. Literally within the week of getting it, I decided hey why not reapply for Operator. And so I did on September 6th, with it being accepted on the 9th. I was so so happy I finally got to help out again. Then I started to talk to Jolt again, and hey he's like my best friend pretty much, and I just want to say thanks for being awesome to him!

There are too many people for me to thank :c But if I talk to you, chances are you're awesome.
