R1ckson

R1ckson (pronounced Rickson, named after legendary fighter Rickson Gracie) first joined in September 2020 due to having an excessive amount of free time caused by COVID-19. He had never played Minecraft before but was intrigued by the survival and sandbox aspects of the game. He then learned about 2b2t and was fascinated by the server's size and history, seeing it as the ultimate survival challenge. After just a couple of days learning the basics, he dived straight into 2b2t.

Groups
Although a complete Minecraft beginner, he had researched the server extensively, so knew exactly what to expect. He was able to quickly escape spawn and find some gear, before joining his first newfag group "Group22" and creating his first small base. Shortly after he found and raided a VoCo dupe stash, becoming stacked.

He then started posting images of his finds in the official Wiki discord, where he met Joey_Coconut, who invited him to join the Shortbus Caliphate. Here R1ckson participated in his first group base, Gaza, creating the infamous Pyramid (after getting confused with Giza) which was his first ever real build in Minecraft, made extremely difficult due to No Server November 2020.

R1ckson then joined the offshoot group the Astral Brotherhood in 2021, participating in the group bases Vega and Menegroth, before taking a break from the group and building in general after the grief of these bases and Gaza in quick succession took its toll on him. He plans to return to building again at some point.

Other activities
In early 2021 R1ckson talked the OG username "sex" into joining the server to collect some books from him. He helped him escape spawn, before accidentally running into Forceken at his slavery plantation and railroad. You can see them in Forceken's video here.

In June 2021 on the 5th Anniversary of Rusher joining 2b2t, R1ckson travelled to the location of Rusher's first base "Paradise", cleared the lavacasts, killed all withers, and rebuilt it, after which he hosted an event attended by several known players, which he chronicled in this video. He continues to very occasionally stream and make videos about the server.

R1ckson spends the majority of his time quietly looking for bases, stashes, collectables and historical ruins on the server, becoming less active in 2022 after life started returning to normal. He posts any interesting finds on the 2b2t Signed Books and Collectable discord, where he currently has the 10th highest amount of signed books archived.
