==CivClassic 2.0's SamBonusG==
'''SamBonusG,''' also known as '''MrBonusgrad,''' was a [[Mount September|Septembrian]] miner who could usually be found in [[Mount September]] flying from the rooftops or riding [[Persephone]], his trusty steed that was always donned in diamond horse armor. When he wasn't in [[Mount September]], he was usually working at [[Lazuli Oceanic HQ]] in the southeast ocean. He first spawned in the server near [[Icenia]], but was quickly ostracized from that community due to an infamously ugly house that he built there. After fleeing to [[Mount September|Mount September,]] he lived the life of a raider and got into some trouble with prominent countries. His first pearling was at the hands of [[Mir|Mir,]]
After being caught a multitude of times during his raids, he left his life of crime and went on to find great wealth after founding the [[Lazuli Corporation]]. He mainly partook in commerce through the stores that were subsidiaries of this corporation, as well as through private international deals.

==CivMC's SamBonusG==
When [[CivMC]] started up, [[SamBonusG]] intended on settling in [[Mount Augusta]], as that's where most of his friends from [[Mount September]] would be winding up. He began to build his home there, however construction of this home was never finished. This was due to a wave of political instability after the controversial election of [[ComradeNick]] as governor, leading to Sam and the majority of the so-called "Septembrian Elite"
In November of 2022, he was appointed the role of mayor of Lambat City, after the election process did not render any candidates. As mayor, he coordinated an international hockey game with the country of [[Nara|Nara,]] and constructed the [[Great Lazuli Oceanic Bridge]] (GLOB) that connected the country of [[Lambat (CivMC)|Lambat]] to [[CivMarket]] via horse highway. In December of 2022, he ran a campaign to join the Metro Council of [[Lambat (CivMC)|Lambat.]] During this campaign, he founded the [[International Infrastructure Party]], a party that focuses on making travel between nations easy to maneuver and figure out, focusing on creating horse highways and bridges with signs pointing you in the direction of specific countries or cities. After winning the majority vote and joining the council with [[AKJanklin]] and [[Orhint|Orhint,]] the council voted to maintain his position as mayor of Lambat City. He was re-elected to his positions again after changing his party views to that of the newly founded [[New September Coalition]] in the days leading up to the [[January 2023 Lambatan coup d'état|Lambatan Civil War]]. It was here that he shifted his focus to the development of the district of [[New September]].
In June of 2023, SamBonusG voluntarily stepped down from his six-month tenure as top official and mayor of Lambat City, seceding the position to [[AKJanklin]]. He cited his drastic focus shift to [[New September|New Septembrian]] development, as well as his slowing down into a state of near inactivity due to his oldfriend age, as the reasons for this decision. By July of 2023, he had developed several buildings that became iconic to the Lambat City and [[New September]] skylines. This included aesthetic marvels such as [[Lazuli Tower 2.0]] and the New September Voting Tree, as well as the country's first diamond-ore exchange in the Bank of New September.
In August of 2023, Lambat was in the middle of what is became known as the "Touching Grass Era". Many key players had started to lull towards inactivity, and as a result the 5th Metro Council Elections wielded less-the-serious victors. The newly elected council failed to come up with a vote for a new mayor of Lambat City, and so SamBonusG volunteered to become mayor once again.
President [[Kaprediem]] began to fall victim to the sickness of this dark era of player inactivity, leading to SamBonusG being appointed as acting president in order to fulfill the duties that the original president could no longer do. SamBonusG became the acting president of [[Lambat (CivMC)|Lambat]] for about three months, working to keep the nation alive through the troubling inactivity.
In March of 2024, SamBonusG made an official announcement to his country, stating that he had succumbed to the sickness of The Grass Age and was RP-dying. Two weeks later, he made a post to the CivMC subreddit that had a [https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/1bqspca/my_civ_experience_a_memoir_by_sambonusg/ memoir of his entire Civ experience attached.] This marked the official end of his Civ career. He buried himself in a tomb in [[Pioneer Village (LRT)|Pioneer Village,]] next to Dark Horse Stables, one of the first structures he had built on this iteration of Civ.
==Significant Events on CivClassic 2.0==
====Construction of December Enclosure ====
In March of 2021 [[December]] the polar bear lived tethered to a pole by the voter tree in [[Mount September]]. [[Minemaster933]] kidnapped [[December]], citing concern for the mascot's safety due to its exposure to the world and lack of protection. After a bill proposal by [[Metriximor]] to build December a home, SamBonusG took on the responsibility of the construction of the home, finishing the enclosure within a day. [[December]] was safely transported to their new residence.
====Kidnapping of December ====
In April of 2021, at seemingly random, three prominent members of the [[Confederation of Socialist Augusta]], [[SandFalls]], [[Smal]], and [[ChocChips]] marched into Mount September, ranting about the freeing and liberation of bears. They proceeded to break in to the enclosure that contained [[December]] and lead him out of [[Mount September]]. Upon some encouragement from [[AmandaCC]], SamBonusG took it upon himself to sue [[SandFalls]] for the kidnapping. The ordeal was eventually settled out of court, and really amounted to a little bit of trolling. [[SandFalls]] paid SamBonusG two diamonds labelled "December" and "January" as reparations. They were named after the two polar bears that had been kidnapped.
====IMC Insider Scandal ====
In May of 2021, SamBonusG secretly played on an alternative account called [[OmGCoCoKreMe]]. He used the alt to pose as a newfriend trying to join [[IMC]]. After gaining citizenship, he began to steal supplies from the beacons and storage units. He was soon captured and pearled, and would be the defendant in the first ever public case done by the courts of [[IMC]] since their revival. The court would find him guilty, and he was sentenced to two weeks pearl time and reparations to the country. The pearl time would later be shortened after deals were made under the table with the leader of [[IMC]], [[Wilson5756]].
====UDF Ice Road Snitch Scandal ====
In June of 2021, SamBonusG had begun to do heavy mining under the [[Lazuli Tower]]. Mining in such a populated area caused him to run in to various abandoned rails and bunkers. However, an ice road that SamBonusG had mistaken for abandoned and unfinished lead him to begin breaking into the vaults connected to said ice road, in the hopes of finding loot that had been abandoned. After spending some time breaking down reinforced bricks, SamBonusG realized the place might not have been abandoned, and left snitches behind so he could track activity. Sure enough, [[UDF]] officals found his snitches and ordered the extradition of SamBonusG from the government of [[Mount September]]. A standoff ensued, as [[Naglafer]] arrived at [[Mount September]] to hunt down SamBonusG to no avail, though a stir was caused when threats of horse slaughter occurred. Eventually the trial was held without SamBonusG ever being pearled, and the sentence was simply a fine with no pearl time.
====
In September of 2021, SamBonusG placed a dereliction sign on a property owned by [[Minemaster933]] in hopes of opening a diamond exchange center. The dereliction was denied by the owner, to which SamBonusG responded with an immediate second dereliction. This sign was removed after government officials had made it clear that rapid derelictions were illegal. On September 24, [[Minemaster933]] pearled SamBonusG, and spiked the pearl (placed the pearl in a [[Vault#Spike|Spike]]) in his personal bunker, citing improper dereliction procedure as SamBonusG's provocation. A team of [[Augustan Federation]] and [[Hjaltland]] players broke into the bunker and freed the pearl almost immediately, but the ensuing court cases would last until October 14th. The pearling of SamBonusG and subsequent cracking of [[Minemaster933]]'s bunker set off two lengthy [[Mount September]] court cases - [https://discord.com/channels/742831212711772261/756569813316272188/892115536450830426 one in which SamBonusG sued minemaster933 for pearling him], and [https://discord.com/channels/742831212711772261/756569789845078077/892115174109085716 the other in which minemaster933 sued the break team for violating his bunker]. These historic cases both ended with verdicts against minemaster933 - he was found guilty in the former, while the break team was acquitted in the latter. [[Minemaster933]] was ordered to serve a ten-day pearl sentence and to pay reparations to SamBonusG.<br>
==Significant Events on CivMC==
====Construction of the GLOB====
In December of 2022, SamBonusG had built a home in the [[Mercado Strait]] region of [[Lambat]]. Wanting to make horse travel to other continents more feasible, he began construction of a massive bridge that travelled across the [[Stony Sea]] all the way to the island of [[CivMarket]]. The bridge was named the [[Great Lazuli Oceanic Bridge]], or GLOB for short. The bridge was built with a lapis lazuli and stone design, as a tribute to the massively successful [[Lazuli Corporation]] of CivClassics. When the GLOB was completed, it made horse travel from [[Lambat]] all the way to [[Estalia]] possible and easy. This was the first great feat achieved by the newly founded [[International Infrastructure Party]].
====The Rise of New September====
In October of 2022, a vote was held in [[Lambat]] to determine the name of one of it's regions. SamBonusG, feeling his [[Mount September|Septembrian]] roots could use some recognition, began to rally support for the name [[New September]]. Despite getting a large group of people behind him, New September lost to the name Progreso, and so that was the name given to the region. Then, the [[January 2023 Lambatan coup d'état]] happened, plunging the country into roleplay chaos. Members of the [[New September Coalition]] decided to use the confusion to their advantage. Coalition members [[Magnileve]] and [[Orhint]] utilized their power over the province of [[Capeland]] (also known as [[Chungia]] to some) to leverage President-in-exile [[Kaprediem]] with threats of secession should Progreso not be renamed to [[New September]]. [[Kaprediem]] immediately agreed, and SamBonusG and [[Magnileve]] erected a tall flagpole waving the new flag of [[New September]] in the air. This helped [[Kaprediem]] gain the support of the [[New September Coalition]], creating further tension between the Republic of [[Lambat]] and the monarchist [[Banyough]] loyalists.

====MTA Exotic Build Residence====
One of the first properties ever claimed in [[Mount Augusta (CivMC)|Mount Augusta]], a colorful house made from all sorts of exotic material.

Although the property was claimed in early June of 2022, the house was not actually built until October. Until then, a much uglier house made of sandstone occupied the territory, as a parallel to the first house SamBonusG ever built on the previous civ iteration in [[Icenia (CivClassic 2.0)|Icenia]].
Established in October of 2022.
