Toska

Unfinished draft

2020
Toska joined 2b2t for the first time in April 2020 after following the history of 2b2t through SalC1 and FitMC for some time prior. It was only in early 2020 though that he was able to finally play the server himself after getting a computer capable of running Minecraft. After logging in for the first time, Toska made it out of the spawn area and began exploring the outer spawn regions,

2021
After returning in early 2021, Toska would spend time travelling and base/stash hunting. After discovering a fairly small sized stash he established No Name Base approximately 500k blocks from spawn. He invited various people from 2b2t chat to the base and it would peak at 11 members. Unfortunately the base would survive for 3 weeks until it was found and griefed by a base hunter.

After spending the summer of 2021 playing solo, establishing and building at ShroomTown and the Island Cottage, Toska joined the Gapples For Poor Foundation. The GFPF was lead by Kuzinnik and it's purpose was to hand out golden apples to new players around the spawn region and on the highways. There were only about 3-4 members of their server at the time, this was where Toska met ACABMichael. Comically though, GFPF didn't have any golden apples to give out, so shortly after its creation it was disbanded due to inactivity.

2022
During the beginning for 2022,

Project Imperial Sky
Project Imperial Sky, or PIS, was a project initially proposed by penisballs22, who suggested that The Imperials create a spawn logo large enough to cover up the Masonic Eclipse. Of course this was impossible at the time as it would take an incredible amount of obsidian and manpower, so the Imperials settled on making a smaller, 1.2 million obsidian logo. The logo was to depict the Imperial's dragon symbol, the same one used by the Imperial Empire in Skyrim. The project began construction on the 18th of October 2021, and was completed on the 25th of November 2021. Toska personally placed ~310,000 blocks of the total structure, and mined roughly 18,000 ender chests.

The structure would be partially griefed in 2022 during operation vacuum.

Conception
Project Collective Sky was originally conceptualised by penisballs22. Whilst a member Imperials in October of 2021, he created a poorly edited image of the Imperial Dragon logo on top of the Masonic Eclipse spawn logo. He proposed jokingly that the Imperials should create a spawn logo larger than the current largest one, so large in fact that it should completely cover up the 27 million obsidian logo built by the SpawnMasons. While this was impossible at the time, the members of Imperials settled on building a logo roughly 1.2 million obsidian large. This project was titled Project Imperial Sky, or PIS. After this first 1.2 million obsidian structure was completed, a second one was planned which would be the full size original idea. However, the planning took a long time, and the members of Imperials that were planning to construct this final version resigned before it could be launched.

Final Plan
When The Collective was created following this mass resignation, the project was changed to reflect the logo of the new group the members were a part of, and so the Imperial Dragon was discarded and replaced with an adapted version of the Collective logo. The project was renamed to Project Collective Sky, or simply Collective Sky.

FitMC Incident
In July of 2022, a player by the name of oofplux approached the planners of Project Collective Sky and proposed to lie about the project's current state and create a story about how it was already in construction when oofplux found and griefed the project's main obsidian stash, which supposedly destroyed the project. The fabricated story was given to the 2b2t YouTuber FitMC, and subsequently appeared in his video about oofplux's attempt to grief the spawn logos of 2b2t. This incident caused the Collective Sky project to be exposed to the 2b2t population well before it was planned to, making construction of the project more risky due to possible saboteurs. oofplux also vowed to (try to) stop this project when it finally reaches construction.

No Name Base
No Name Base was established on the 7th of April 2021, and it was approximately 500,000 blocks from spawn on the South axis. He invited various people from 2b2t chat to the base, the first to join the base was Zaddy, other members that followed include ohBlinding, YungAfricanSlave, Foxshop21, and wrxjulian. There were a few others, although their names are lost as they have since deleted their accounts. The base had a total of 11 members at it's peak.

Aqueous I-VI
Originally named Subaqueous, the five Aqueous bases were a series of high-ranking Imperial bases that lasted in the final months of 2021. There were a total of 5 official continuations of this base because insiding was quite an issue at the time, and they were often griefed shortly after being created. The theme was initially an underwater city design, although members preferred to build along the coast so it was renamed simply Aqueous for the further 4 continuations.

Novus I-IX
The bases of Novus I through to Novus IX were a series of Imperial spawn bases established by Toska during January and February 2022. They were fairly small bases as they didn't get too far because of an unnamed conflict. Most of the 9 bases among other bases at the time, were lost due to inexperienced members being bribed with fake offers. Although not lasting long, they served their purpose and were fun to build at.

Imperatoria 23
Imperatoria 23, of which the 23 had no meaning besides being one third of the number 69, was a high-ranking Imperial base that unofficially became the capital base of the Imperials during its height. This is the location where Toska, HenkieMC, Bematt, Durkaa, MrIcantSleep, lukent, Jesse, AiwaSound and hwe duped a large stash of armor and elytra using Bikmunni's armor stand and dispenser dupe. In February 2022 when the stash was waiting to be split up and moved to more secure locations, base member hwe decided to pearl most of the main stash away and then proceeded to grief the base. This happened because he found out that the leaders of Imperials at the time had planned to kick him out of the group in the past due to a controversy involving his blackmailing of a child for explicit images. He was not booted from the group when this discussion took place because of a lack of evidence/someones word against another's type situation, but he decided to take it out on Imperatoria 23 after seeing the chatlogs. The base was sadly unfinished at the time of the grief in February 2022.

Crum Lodge
Some time in early 2022, players Aced4U and Slxsh were seraching for a desert to farm base materials, when Aced4U stumbled upon a small consisting of one house build into a hillside, and a few pens for animals with a path connecting the two. After investigation, Ace4U recognised the base as the one shown in FitMC's video where he visits the base of fellow YouTuber JSchlatt. After sitting on the coords for multiple months and receiving no word from JSchlatt after tweeting at him, Ace4U decided the base should be griefed. Toska, lukent and Ace4U arrived at the location on the 16th of March 2022, and flattened the base.

SBA Larptown
After the Imperial leadership were given the coordinates, lukent travelled to grief the base and uploaded the full grief recording to YouTube. A few members of the Larptown base created a decoy SBA discord server, and promised new-to-2b2t members of Imperials an invite to the SBA. Of course many members fell for this and the Larptown members were able to grief all but two of the Imperial bases at the time.
