CivcraftImport:Factions/beverly hill cops

'Beverly Hill Cops' (or BHC) is one of many informal monikers for a group of players who, during the last few months of Civcraft 1.0, filled the power vacuum left when the majority of the HCF forces had left, leaving the so-called 'world police' in their vault as they did. The name was used in both positive and negative lights.

The name 'Beverly Hill Cops' comes from an actual settled area in Civcraft, as opposed to an injoke or slight against the 'members' of the group. Around January, following the cessation of wide-scale conflict involving the HCF, rebuilding and fresh construction again began around the world. In Danzilona, a small town in the +,+ that bordered Agraria, Communa and Gerald, it was no different. A long-time resident of the town, Theodius, had recently returned from a hermitage after Village_Rapist had destroyed his wealth. He was asked to move his house so that a rail station could be built at its location; obliging, he moved to the west-side of town, on top of a hill that had once been covered in thick forest. Becoming neighbours with Sanctusorium, a former Gerald inhabitant and possessor of a very attractive red brick abode, Theo warmed to the area; mainly because that particular part of town soon became one of the more wealthy locales, primarily due to Sanctusorium and Theodius holding a lot of the town's wealth through their own trade endeavours. During these days, Theodius had asked Teotheawesome, Danzilonas minister of the interior, if he could undertake beautification of the roads and areas surrounding the hill so as to properly reflect the wealth of the residents.

After a few weeks of quiet, a new player to the server, NJPalms, moved in next door to Theodius, having paid 2d for his plot to the Danzilona treasury. NJPalms and Theodius had met having spent some time on the Grumpcraft server together, along with tehaleks, who would move into a plot on that same hill along with long-time +,+ resident (and prolific thief) Makanla. With the entire hill now claimed, Theodius made a request to Danzilona; to be able to gate the entire community and effectively blanket the entire area as a private estate. With only one city road running through the plots, which was used purely for access to the houses anyway, permission was granted.

With that, red-brick buildings sprang up and a trademark gold and lapiz lazuli block trim marked the walls of the gated community. The only thing left was a name for the area; after several suggestions were refuted, Theodius jokingly suggested 'Beverly Hill' (alongside Palms Springs) and the residents took upon it with aplomb.

Like their predeccesors they are subject to the ever-changing winds of subreddit opinion, which has recently turned against them due to the Gimmick Brigade affair, NJpalms and Positronic were members of the original Beverly Hill group and were involved in criminal activities.
