Peakman2

peakman2 (nickname "peak") is a Civcraft oldfriend most notable for being a founder of New Danzilona in Civcraft 2.0 and Nova Danzilona in Civcraft 3.0.

Early Life on Civcraft 1.0
peakman2 began his Civcraft career as a humble citizen of Danzilona in Civcraft 1.0, shortly after it was founded on October 20, 2012. peak largely kept his head down during 1.0, not particularly getting involved in internal or international politics or business, but after Danzilona was griefed during the Great HCF War, peak was pivotal in helping populate and rebuild the city by providing many resources and ideas to do so. After Civcraft 2.0 was announced and the rebuilding efforts ceased, peak helped plan out the details for the political and economic structure for the next iteration of Danzilona: New Danzilona. Many of his ideas would come to fruition, including an arena, market district, better dereliction process, and compact city planning.

Founding of New Danzilona
On the first day of Civcraft 2.0, May 19, 2013, peakman2 was apart of the group of Danzilonans that scouted out and laid down the foundation of their new city. peak himself initially advised against settling in the location chosen for NDZ given the proximity to another group of settlers, but as he was unable to actually enter the server due to its high traffic, he was unable to object before progress had been made. Once he was able to play, peak quickly settled into his position as a natural leader. peak led the effort to map out NDZ's claims and the surrounding area, creating some of the first maps of NDZ and founding many of its territories the Danzilonans would use for resources, including Hogham and Chocomoor. He became intensely involved in the development of the town's infrastructure, building roads and rails and posting frequent updates about the progress of the town. peak also grew an interest in protecting the town militarily, pearling many griefers and raiders throughout early NDZ history. His early actions set the stage for his reputation among the Danzilonans, what would later be described being NDZ's "Honest Abe."

Rancuneus Attacks and the United Provinces
In early November 2013, NDZ began to experience repeated, heavy griefer attacks by Rancuneus. peak would be the first to post a bounty on him on the city's behalf, continually cleaning up grief and keeping the rest of the Danzilonans informed. peak was one of the members of NDZ that Ranc demanded self-exile from the city in order to stop his attacks, which peak rejected. peak would renew his bounty on Ranc until the griefer's ban from Civcraft for using xray after Christmas 2013.

During the autumn of 2013, peak would become very involved in matters of NDZ's foreign relations, which only amplified after the beginning of Rancuneus's attacks which propelled the need for regional cooperation. peak was the first to propose the appointment of two foreign representatives of NDZ in October 2013, which laid the foundation for NDZ's governmental positions 2 months later.
