Vintage Civ: Difference between revisions

For the first two days of its existence, Vintage Civ ran a test server as the admins added more plugins to the server and tested their stability in-game. Happy with their modlist, the official beta was launched on January 4, 2022, which the admins planplanned to run for 4-6 months or longer.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/vintageciv/comments/rwampl/we_are_live/</ref>

It started when Bastion resident Xorberax claims he was lured into a room by another player from Chan Town and was trapped there. Xorberax dented the door which made the Channer decide to shackle Xorberax for it, sparking a much larger series of events. After the shacklegear was updated, Xorberax was not shackled any more due to the Channers not being familiar with the mechanics of refueling a shacklegear, and he escaped. Xorberax decided to threaten the town of Green Spice saying he will level the entire town, or threats of a similar nature. <ref>Ｍ Ｕ Ｌ Ｔ Ｉ Ｐ Ｏ Ｌ Ａ Ｒ(March 13, 2022) "[https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/928765698543616050/952790713416945675 We had Xorborax pearled originally (assumed he got out as shacklegear was just updated) but Southern clarified that we didn't refuel his shackle right, because the mechanic is different from civcraft so he got out. He was our bargaining chip and we lost it, we were working on a treaty with Bastion as Xorberax threatened to level our town. Having lost it, Bastion stopped talking to us. Faust initiated the talks, Greenkitten our ambassador reached out to Jaysus but they never got back to us, because why should they they got their guy free.]"</ref> A little while after escaping Green Spice, Xorberax decided to go and bomb Chan Town in retaliation against what they did to him. After the bombing, some of Chan Towns' members logged on and followed Xorberax back to Bastion to shackle him. Some of the members from Bastion took notice of an impending attack and aided Xorberax against the attackers and got them shackled. <ref>Ｍ Ｕ Ｌ Ｔ Ｉ Ｐ Ｏ Ｌ Ａ Ｒ(March 13 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/928765698543616050/952791510242435102 "After bantering in the discord we logged on and saw that our entire town was destroyed and vault broken, and shit stolen. So we saw the guy who did it was still online and were quite pissed. Four of our guys geared up and went to Bastion to shackle him, but 3 other Bastion guys ran out and helped him and he shackled all of us.]"</ref> Immediately once understanding what had happened, Xorberax was banished from Bastion to fend for himself. Green Spice was outraged that no further punishment was taken toward Xorberax, however, Bastion members were overwhelmed and tired and had had enough of all of it. A discord user by the name of MULTIPOLAR said he later secured the release to those shackled members of Green Spice and retreivedretrieved some of the stolen goods from Green Spice. Much back-and-forth ensued between Green Spice and Bastion over what to do with Xorberax. Then on March 12, Chan Town, according to Xorberax, doxxed him into bombing the town of Bastion so they'd stop doing it to him. <ref>KingOfTheMochas (March 13 2022) [https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/928765698543616050/952780268605964349 "Uhhhh I think Xorb said he got trapped in a room by Faust after he asked him to come to chantown for some reason and then Xorb tried to break down the door to escape and Faust shackled him and then he went (Apeshit) and threatened to blow Chantown to smithereens and then he got freed for some reason (channers said there was some kinda deal with jay but it sounds like jay denies that) and then he ended up ''actually'' blowing it to smithereens and then channers got reasonably mad but to an unreasonable amount and doxxed (?) him and then he agreed (?) to nuke Bastion if they stopped doxxing him and so he did and now we’re all pissed at him and also each other]"</ref> There are still a number of disagreements and arguments in the official Vciv Discord after all of this happened.

* DiscrepenciesDiscrepancies in moderation; Some mods/admins, like SouthernBloc and Pkeod, have been generally tolerant of neo-nazi and right-wing views and users in the discord,<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-Pkoed|sender=Pkoed|url=https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/958619281011134465|text=Tbh good, we're building a specific genre with a specific vision and we're not going to compromise that just for emotionally stunted people who refuse to play the game and shackle the people they don't like, that's the entire point|date=March 30, 2022|access-date=April 2, 2022|channel=general|server=Vintage Civ}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-SouthernBloc|sender=SouthernBloc|url=https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/927794000126152735/931252643727302666|text=[Meme image containing the n-word mocking anti-racist sentiment]|date=January 13, 2022|access-date=April 2, 2022|channel=shit-posts-aplenty|server=Vintage Civ}}</ref> but rules against harassment and hate speech have been implemented and enforced by other mods/admins, like SimpleBastard and [[KingOfTheMochas]].

====== 2.0 BetaTest Server ======

InThe thetest currentserver worldas of theApril beta17th has youplayers spawn at 0,0 in the very north-western corner of the world in the water. The closest landmass to the spawn point is a small island which as of April 14 2022 hascontained a single homestead with a small overgrown farm to the south of it. The beta world has a small size of exactly 5000 blocks north to south and has every quadrant being absent except the +,+ quadrant, which the entire map is in. There has been a few small camps set up by players that have crossed the oceans and landmasses far from spawn though the server has not had as much popularity as the 1.0 beta three months earlier.

It is likelyplanned that the current 1.0 map maywill be reset in the near futurewiped after all the previously mentioned content is refined and stable enough to release. Most notably the new world generation which will most definitely need a completely new world map to exist in, unlike the other features mentioned. Once the new map in the future is bug fixed and stable as 2.0, this article will be moved into a new subcategory of this page as 2.0 World History.
