[[CivRealms 2.0]]|reddit=u/TweetBiscuits|discord=tweetabix#0660}}'''Tweetabix''', also known as '''Tweet Biscuits''', was a [[Player]] who joined [[CivRealms 2.0]] on 10 April 2020, during the great Covid-19 crisis of 2020. He claimed not to have played Minecraft, aside from the occasional Overcast Network match [http://oc.tc], for over 6 years. As such, he struggled to use [[Discord]] and struggled to understand modern Civ culture. |

[[CivReign]]|reddit=u/TweetBiscuits|discord=Q-Gammon#4605}}'''Tweetabix''', also known as '''Tweet Biscuits''', was a [[Player]] who initially played on CivCraft in 2013. After many years away, he arrived in CivRealms during the 2020 Covid lockdown. |
|||
After tough times on CivRealms, he is reborn for a fresh start on CivReign. |
|||
Tweetabix liked to try and use the game in new ways, including developing minigames, creating the [[Viking Modular]] building code, which he described as "The server's most oppressive". He had been a member of both Norlund and [[Yggdrasil]], but was exiled from both in time. He is currently dead and does not intend to return. |

Tweetabix joined CivRealms for the first time on 10 April 2020. [[Norlund#Yoslan|'''Antea4204''']] invited him to join [[Norlund]]. He then rented an apartment in [[Norlund#Kannin|Kannin]] city centre from '''Cirex22'''. By the end of the first two days he had begun constructing a house in then-derelict West Kannin. Early on he worked for King '''[[Terry]]''', laying snitches around Norlund and testing defensive mechanisms. He also got to know Pope [[Norlund#Vatican City|Leobenet]], who converted him to Vatican Papalism. Utilising its strategic location, his property was a mixed use development with a shop front as well as a residential entrance. |

On 15 April 2020, Tweet participated in the official opening of the Norlund Supreme Court, built by '''SirBoss'''. During the drinking session that followed, both Tweet and SirBoss fell into Kannin Lake, which at the time was not fenced off. King Terry personally rescued both players. |

King Terry made Tweet a Norlund Citizen on 17 April. On 18 April, Tweet drowned whilst assisting SirBoss in the creation of Kannin Pier. His bed didn't work which gave him an opportunity to see some other parts of the server for the first time. He got back to Kannin in time for the official opening of the pier and to finish his house. |

On 20 April 2020, [[Norlund#Palaisance|'''Raptor''']] vouched for Tweet to enter CivCorp, and on 23 April he visited CivCorp for the first time, describing it as “mighty” and “a real feat.” He also visited [[Empire of Varathia|Varathia]] to purchase picks for himself and Antea. |

Tweet wanted to go into business. He declared he would build a Norlund Rocks climbing gym in Kannin, and began to research existing minigames. During a trip to CivCorp on 2 May, he joined '''Tritonio’s''' [[CivCorp|Maze]] club as part of his research into existing minigames and started a [[CivMint]] account. On 10 May Tweet travelled to '''[[Zen]]''' to participate in the first [[Zen|Altercation at the Altar]] as further minigame research. Tweet was defeated in less than 30 seconds by [[Saviors City|MSPaintDaily]], who was himself eliminated mere seconds later. |

Tweetabix, Joseph and other Vikings invested their time digging out and building the great vault of Asgard. Joseph, constructor of Vlaardingen and later King of Yggdrasil, constructed a replica Twin Towers near Asgard, and gave Tweet a penthouse in the North Tower for helping with the build and providing some materials. Tweet moved what little valuables he had into the penthouse and began construction on a small patch of land he had been granted north of the Towers, near Tallum and the Norlund border. |

Tweet had been thinking about creating a new building code, which he named Viking Modular. <blockquote>"the most repressive building code in CivRealms, creating perfect modular housing.” </blockquote>He developed a new Modular Building Code, publishing two books in PDF and ingame form: the '''[[Viking Modular]] Manifesto''' and '''Regulations'''. This was inspired by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VM_Houses VM Houses] of Copenhagen. Having acquired land from the new state, he began to develop the town of Xanadu, which would form a proof of concept for Viking Modular. |

In VM terms, Xanadu was one "Superbloc" with a defensive wall (the addition of which later caused controversy in Yggdrasil). The south and south-west blocs were one level lower than the rest. Most of it was built in a Wooden style, with Stone roads. However the southern bloc featured a mini replica of the Twin Towers, which still worked in the VM code. The south-west bloc had a Nether style. |

Tweetabix's Pearl was held in the vault of Asgard, which he, with the other Vikings, had helped to dig. Months later, Norlund and Yggdrasil actually allied with other Northern nations against Blackwater and the U.S.A, who spent some time trying to crack Asgard. A number of Norls actually gave their lives to defend this vault. Eventually after around a month, it fell, and the fighting moved on to the Heaven vault. The nations of Norlund and Yggdrasil never recovered. |

==== [Redacted Asian Town] ==== |
||
In the summer of 2013, the player now known as Tweetabix brought a group of [http://oc.tc Project Ares / Overcast Network] players into CivCraft following an oc.tc forum thread. They established the small city state of [redacted], named after the Overcast map and its sequels. It was a peaceful place for a while, with an Asian style of construction. |
|||
Tweet makes comics about the goings-on of the North West and has uploaded a handful of videos. |
|||
The inhabitants built their leader a statue made of stone. Some thought it was an eyesore, some liked it. So a spleef arena was built, and two members- one for and one against, spleefed for it. The for side won and the statue stayed... for a while. |
|||
[https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/g7tmxd/summer_realms_ripped_at_the_seams_but_oh_those/ One subreddit post made over 70 points.] |
|||
Unfortunately the town was griefed mercilessly, and with little understanding of reinforcement, the wool and wood heavy town was burned to the ground. The inhabitants regrouped and designed and built a new underground town. Unfortunately this was tunnelled into and destroyed as well, and the Overcast followers lost heart and resigned from Civcraft. |
|||
He also made a blue advertisement for [[Esorscher]]. |
|||
==== '''Commonwealth''' ==== |
|||
After some time digging a hole for pay in a forgotten nation, Tweet ended up a regular citizen of Commonwealth. Destitute, he holed up in a tiny, frost-bitten cave in the slum district of Ironside. Nevertheless, he became one of the first Commonwealth citizens to invest in a fully-tuned piano, designed and built by GTAIVisBest. |
|||
Later, he began to construct a Retirement Home for Civvers near the Shopside District. In order to raise funds for this project, he built a Footgolem Stadium, in which two players compete to hit snow golems into goals using snowballs. |
