History
Pond Scum Village was founded on January 4, 2022, the first day of Vintage Civ's 1.0 Beta iteration. Its founders included a handful of Vintage Story veterans, including petlahk and Romec, former AbjectPovertyCraft admins. As its founders were able to quickly move up the tech tree, most people who joined the server in its first days found themselves working in the village, boasting a population of 10-15 residents. Many residents had come from the recently-shut down CivClassics 2.0.
Pond Scum had since relocated into the deep -,-, shedding some players as its population fell below 10. When Vintage Civ 1.0 launched on January 13, 2022, Pond Scum dissolved and its former residents founded many of the current 1.0 nations on Vintage Civ.
