The Great Crusade

The Great Spawn Crusade 

Planning and Unification

The Crusade was an immense project in which the objectives were to succesfully establish a lava wall from build height to stone level, around 200 blocks tall in order to secure a dominant defence system against newfags and unnwarranted players- an idea thought up by Mrska999. As the project was so demanding in scale, a discord created by Rhonor was tasked with getting the arguably the 3 largest groups, Le Epic, Dung Beetles and Dumpster Dogs to work in cohesion on the plan. The project amassed nearly 25 veteran players and after a week and a half of in-depth planning, the project was set into motion.

The Launch of the Crusade

On Friday the 8th of May at exactly 18:00 CET, a date set by __oVe__, the Crusade began with the objective in mind of digging out a 3 block wide trench centered on 250.5- this was however not as simple. Over the year that the server had been up for, hundreds of casts had covered spawn, dominating its landscape and making travel treacherous for all players without elytras. In the first few hours, 8 members of the incursion used shulkers of TNT and godpicks to blow apart these casts and dig out the 3 block wide trench. Although progress was slow, utilisation of engineering features from members assisted in deeming the making of the trench possible. Throughout the construction of the wall problematic situations with players attempting to hijack progress were swiftly disposed of with skirmishes with the infamous chadlets being avoided or minor. For a short period of time, an "incursion" of lesser magnitude was currently underway, however iSTINO easily disposed of them in a 5v1 resulting in them all either dying or fleeing.

Finalising stages 

Intended to fit within a multiple day schedule, countless hours spent digging out the trench had reached the finalising critical point, the lava placing itself- with over 12 shulkers of lava buckets being used this stage in the project was an arduous one. On Monday the 11th May, approximately 3 days after the beginning, the immense task was finally complete and with the final sectors of the lava wall being complete all players involved had gained a memorable experience and Purity Vanilla had attained a landmark- the first ever actual incursion.
