TheTrackball (aka Trackball or simply "Track") is a Civcraft-playing oldfriend who primarily lived in each iteration of Danzilona, most notably New Danzilona. Beginning his career as an ambitious builder on 1.0, Track became a world-renowned PVPer, particularly in his defence of NDZ as leader of the Danzilonan Security Force but also from his participation in most server-wide wars, including the Recharge War, Titan War, and Nox War. Track was typically on the side of the World Police when relevant, and he was the founder of the one properly organised WP associations of 2.0, Eden. Track was the founder and leader of Trackistan, which was first its own autonomous member of the Danzilonan Federation before being annexed as a territory of New Danzilona in March 2015. To top off his PVP career, he also served as Secretary of Defence of the United Provinces of the Plus Plus a number of times.

Biography

Civcraft 1.0

Track joined the city of Danzilona on an undisclosed date during the city's 4 month existence. He initially took an interest in building, and after Danzilona was heavily griefed during the Great HCF War in February 2013, Track stayed to help clean up and repopulate the town. Track remained a Danzilonan and member of its cleanup group up until 2.0 was announced in April 2013.

Civcraft 2.0

On the first day of 2.0, Track helped found and settle New Danzilona, and his home remained the oldest building still standing in the city by the end of the server almost 3 years later. From the beginning, he took an active role in the defence of the city and its territories against all griefers and raiders, a theme that would become common throughout his remaining Civcraft career. Building vaults, forts, XP farms, and pearling criminals is how Track spent the majority of his time on the server. To formalise his position and bettter recruit and organise other Danzilonan PVPers, Track formed the Danzilonan Security Force (or DSF) on March 4, 2014 following the invasion of NDZ by neighbouring Monaco. Shortly after, the newly formed DSF would attempt to pearl notorious raider and ReCharge member phacad3 after he entered NDZ and harassed them, but failed to do so and received international backlash. Less than 2 weeks later, the Recharge War began and the group invaded NDZ once again, but this time the DSF had international support and repelled the attack.

Track and the DSF confront ReCharge raider phacad3 (on alt xsaints) after he killed one of their members, April 6, 2014.

In his spare time, Track also built and managed NDZ's library for many months before handing it off to Danzilonan RoarkLeSkif in March 2014.

Throughout the summer, Track and the DSF carried out numerous combat operations, most notably pearling HCF-collaborator Celoxia in August 2014.He also helped defend the DZF's sovereignty during the Aeginan independence movement.

In September 2014, Track and the DSF fought against the Holy Krautchan Empire in defence of DZF member Riverford's sovereignty after the former claimed part of the latter in the Yurtstead War.Althrough Track was successful in militarily repelling the invaders, the DZF government would denounce his actions and make a separate peace between the leaders of the HKE and Riverford. Track nearly left NDZ over this perceived betrayal, but stayed after most DZF officials self-exiled to Mt. Augusta and Tropica.

From December 2014 to March 2015, Track and the DSF joined the World Police in the Titan War in an effort to pearl Papa_Pound, a notorious PVPer who raided multiple cities throughout the previous summer and broke a number of WP vaults in October 2014.When the Titan vault was finally broken and the collaborator group Libertas was formed to protect the HCF fighters, Track took the initiative to ban them from the DZF.He would remain constantly at odds with the group for the remainder of 2015, founding the WP group Eden and participating in the Rumble in Mt. Augusta.

In his spare time, Track ran the NDZ territory of Trackistan, which was used as a military base for practice exercises and material gathering, which was made easy by the nether biome it bordered.Though in practice it remained this way, Track also tried to make it into a proper town, making a number of recruitment posts for it on the Civcraft subreddit.

When the Nox War broke out in October 2015, Track was an active participant, getting pearled on at least one account in his defence of the town of Aurora.Track was present when the Nox vault was broken open by the WP on November 13, 2015.

Civcraft 3.0

Track spent less time playing in 3.0, but he was still a founder and builder in Nova Danzilona, notably beginning contruction on NDZ's city wall.He revived the DSF but since his home shard of Volans was poor in resources, he did not make it far as a PVPer before 3.0 came to an end just 2 months after its launch. After the end of Civcraft, Track retained a tentative presence in the Danzilonan online community, but he never lived in any U3P successor states such as Provincia on CivClassic 2.0.

CivMC

After 6 years of inactivity on Civ servers, Track returned for CivMC after catching wind that a new iteration of Danzilona was being founded. Not wanting a repeat of his past career where he spent most of his time hunting down griefers across Civcraft, Track began heavily focusing on defensive infrastructure and proposed and created what has become the centrepiece of the FDR: the Danzshaft. Track also revived the Danzilonan Workers' Union, or D3U, which decides and votes on weekly public works projects that any Danzilonan can take part in.
