Adiesa

Adiesa was a faction founded by Typhoonerang and Taiwifi on the 26th of March, 2020. The group made themselves known through excessive spawn fagging, griefing spawn, and the main end island. As of now, the faction sticks to themselves, away from most server matters, striving to build friendly relations across the server and to find it's own small place among the others factions on the server.

Founding
Typhoonerang and TaiWifi met each other as greys at spawn, forging a partnership to escape it and set up base. Creep_Assassin joined them some weeks later, also a new player. Ty’s easygoing attitude would later prove to be detrimental to the well being of the faction, though, through the addition of another member to their group... friendliness_.

Friendliness_ (alt iankidd) joined the trio under Ty’s leadership after they moved to a new base. As they began to establish the new base and procure materials, friendliness_ began to show his true signs. He started using up the team’s shared and private resources, denying everything. The team (separate from friendliness_) started to forge a merger with Stornwald’s group, Gondor. While that newfound relationship started to bloom, tensions rose between friendliness_ and Creep, who was calling him out on his dickish behavior. Friendliness_ then spawn-killed Creep_Assassin, claiming to do so accidentally. When Creep escaped spawn and came back to base with Stornwald, friendliness_ then attempted to kill Stornwald, who wielded a full set of god armor and tools. Stornwald quickly dispatched of him, throwing friendliness_ back to spawn, and directed Creep to take the most important things out of the base, and go with him into the nether to find a new location to base. Friendliness_ stayed on the server to antagonize Creep in the chat a bit but eventually became completely inactive.

A New Start
Ty and Tai remained offline for most of the move but came on after Creep started to build the new base. Stornwald escorted the two through the nether. The original trio realized they had to be more cautious about allowing new players onto the team. They worked to build their new underground base, remaining allies with Stornwald’s group.

Creep’s friend, PixelAnxiety, joined the group, being a lover of quests the rest of them were not much of a fan of. Since Creep knew Pixel, the group did not feel the need to vet him. However, they set up a system in vetting new members, consisting of references, interviews, and objectives for provisional members to complete. Currently, Adiesa has two provisional members, Rayzze and wRongo.

Early Golden Era
Adiesa took on Rayzze, wRongo, and Drrew as new members, which enabled the group to take on more ambitious projects. wRongo's inclusion in the group meant a steady access to crystals for PvP and for trading. Creep and wRongo brought the ghast tear and crystal economy down by 50%, establishing a decent monopoly over them.

A few members assisted the attendees of zUni's first Spawn Party, unleashing 106 withers from Creep's supply. This swept the floor with the previous record of 30. Adiesa also pillar-smashed in the end, getting 5 shulkers of obsidian in less than an hour, also collecting a shulker of dragons breath, scoring a kill on b1t while he was frolicking around spawn, naked. Creep came back a bit later to test how much damage a shulker of TnT would cause to End Spawn, successfully evading bedbombers and getting a good idea for how to successfully decimate the whole main end island. Most of the group was still new to the server, but had established themselves with a good balance of effective leadership, redstone engineering, and spawn fagging.

Merger with Empire
Creep enjoyed leading Adiesa, and proposed an Adiesa-Empire merger to ItzFreaks, as they were closely allied, having access to each others' bases. Freaks – and some of the group – liked the idea. Adiesa had a good run, and the members still pursue the projects they did before the merger. The only betrayal the group had was right in the beginning with Friendliness_. No base griefs (for now), no alliance betrayals, no falls. That is until things turned sour.

Admire Breakup
Shortly after the merge, Empire griefed Le Epic's main base. In retaliation DB griefed Empire's main base, Danzig, and the Chads griefed the remaining 3 bases directly associated with Empire. Creep took responsibility for abusing a world download so Empire could find the beds at Le Epic, suffering a temp ban. Adiesa's other members aside from wRongo were either inactive or uninvolved, as Creep was not allowed to fully welcome them into Empire. He decided he did not want for himself, or for those he felt responsible for, to be involved in a group that was toxic. Adiesa always avoided hostility when possible. Creep reinstated Adiesa, most of the core members coming back. The drama wasn't over, though.

wRongo's Betrayal
wRongo was a very integral part of what helped Adiesa to prosper. Because of this, Creep allowed him to be involved with both groups, as long as he helped with Adiesa projects when they emerged. Mallty, Arix, and Sam_Du_QC all worked to finish the spawn base courtyard while Creep worked with Sonickmonx to establish a new base. Creep came forward to Penguin about EPIC_THATS_ME cracking the seed, leading to a seed reset and EPIC's permban. He was aware of the possibility that there may be repercussions. wRongo continued to distance himself from Creep, never delivering on promises he had made. This possibility became reality. wRongo leaked Adiesa I and the new base further out to Empire, leading to both being griefed overnight. Though wRongo had been a very core member of Adiesa, he decided to commit to Empire, having nothing to lose.

Reconstruction
Though Adiesa's infrastructure was missing, the group had both the materials and the connections to reestablish bases, doing this very quickly after being griefed. Adiesa became closely allianced with DB, Chads, and a few other players, as they all worked to dismantle Empire. Adiesa is currently working to create a new base, also working on projects with other groups. The group will no longer recruit new members, but those who remain are fully trusted and closely knit. They faced large losses but had the bigger picture in mind. Adiesa would once again come back from a betrayal, still holding "integritas super divitias"... integrity over riches.

Parting Ways
On the 16th of August, 2020, Creep Assassin officially left Adiesa, following the leaking of natural terrain during a live stream on the Purity Vanilla discord. With him left Rayyze, pulque, Arix, and other members of the group. Several days afterwards, on the 26th of August, exactly 5 months after the group was started in a small base 10k away from spawn by Typhoonerang and Taiwifi, it was permanently disbanded and dissolved.
