Kwikxilver is a longtime Civ player who has played on and off in the genre since [[Civcraft 2.0]] and currently is a citizen of [[Icenia]] on [[CivClassic]]. A member of the [[Maester Alliance]], Kwikxilver cares more about preserving in-game culture and infrastructure than PvP and politics. He is often confused for [[Kwizzle]].

''Main Article: [[Sanctuary]]''

 

When Kwikxilver returned from his inactivity, he found the world he knew destroyed and in its place, the inactive shard-based test bed of [[CivTemp]]. After wandering for a while he eventually came to the Aleph shard and encountered [[GameNBurger]], who had started work on the underground town of [[Sanctuary]]. Kwikxilver joined the town and took up the office of Public Works, contributing much to the road system and amenities of the fledgling town. He personally welcomed new citizens such as [[Aeroless]] and others into the town, and took over as the de facto leader of the town after GameNBurger became inactive.

After his experiences with the shard system in [[CivTemp]], [[Kwikxilver]] realized that direct routes connecting shard portals would become incredibly important in the upcoming [[Civcraft 3.0]] and envisioned a network of ready made, shard-spanning roads that would influence trade and settlement creation. This was dubbed The [[3.Road]] Project, in reference to [[Civcraft 3.0]]'s version. On 22nd June 2016, Kwikxilver laid the foundation for the 3.Road Project by announcing it in a "plans" thread on the main subreddit. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/4p9ubd/what_are_your_plans_for_30/d4j6pxw?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> It was through the project that Kwikxilver first encountered [[WormWizard]] who came on board as Project Manager and the two would become longtime friends.

 

The sudden shutdown of Civcraft 3.0 was a shock to everyone including Kwikxilver, but he was pleased that the team had been able to complete routes in the [[Eilon]] and [[Ulca Felya]] shards. Kwikxilver became mostly inactive after the end of 3.0, preferring instead to play on private servers and modpacks.

 

After a long time away from Civ servers, Kwikxilver decided to start his own civ-like server community and started the server [[Planet One]] in early 2019. Originally a Hermitcraft-like Vanilla server, Kwikxilver eventually desired to build the kind of community and trade Civcraft had but without the excessive grind. Ultimately this was a fruitless endeavor - Kwikxilver lacked the coding skills and free time to make the idea reach its full potential - but did result in the creation of a small, close-knit server community.

 

Planet One officially shut down in December 2020, as it no longer had the interest or admin willpower to keep going. Kwikxilver found himself drawn back to CivClassic, and made his way to Icenia as he had heard it was one of the only remaining active towns following the [[Infinity War]]. He was welcomed by [[ChrisChrispie]] and built himself a mobile home across from Icenia's Israeli library. He saw promise in the town, and invited all Planet One members to join and focus their efforts on building there.

 

The 2020 Christmas season was a busy time for Kwikxilver. In the space of a few weeks, he ran for Judge in the January 2021 Icenia elections and won in part thanks to support from Planet One migrants. He also completed the tasks to gain entry to the [[Maester Alliance]], and was inducted into the organisation in a secret ceremony on 2nd January 2021. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/kp6ylu/the_initiation_of_maester_kwikxilver_in_the_realm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> He also travelled to the fledgling nation of [[Gul]] and produced a much-loved promotional video for them, [https://youtu.be/X3HmTnUZDSo Return to Monkecraft].<ref>https://youtu.be/X3HmTnUZDSo</ref>
