Toska

Toska is a builder known for leading The Collective, and formerly the Imperials 2b2t branch.

Early History
Toska joined 2b2t for the first time in April 2020 after watching videos made by SalC1 and Fit. After logging in for the first time, Toska made it out of Spawn and began exploring the outer spawn regions. After establishing himself there with a small stash he found, he quit for about a year.

2021
After returning in early 2021, Toska stash hunted briefly before traveling and founding No Name Base on April 7th, 2021. He invited a number of friends there, with the base peaking at 11 members, including Zaddy, ohBlinding, YungAfricanSlave, Foxshop21, and wrxjulian. The base was griefed after 3 weeks. Toska spend the majority of summer 2021 playing solo, in which time he built ShroomTown and the Island Cottage. He joined the Gapples For Poor Foundation, which was led by Kuzinnik0. The group's purpose was to give away golden apples to Newfags at spawn. While the group was soon disbanded, he met ACABMichael there, who invited him to The Imperials. They became co-Centurions (co-leaders) of the 2b2t branch of the Imperials after the previous centurion was removed.

During this time, many bases were established and many were lost, many dramas and conflicts were began and resolved, although one conflict stuck with the Imperials through to 2022.

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.

SBA Larptown Grief
In December 2021, Imperial member MaxHolloway discovered the Larptown base while base hunting. Not understanding entirely what it was, the Imperial leadership were given the coordinates, and possibly confusing SBA with BSB, lukent was sent to grief the base and he 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. Larptown was then rebuilt in 2022.

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.

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.

Crum Lodge Grief
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. During the beginning for 2022, this unnamed conflict came to a head, with Imperial members getting doxxed and threatened with swatting left and right, serious accusations being thrown around and fake doxxing situations being set up to frame members. This situation, paired with constant infighting and disagreements with the higher leadership of Imperials, Toska and his friends within the Imperials at the time broke off and created their own separate group after leaving the Imperials en masse. This group was named The Collective. Almost every active/trusted member chose to leave which greatly angered the higher leadership and those who chose to stay behind, and tensions stayed high until late 2022 when a treaty type deal was formed to stop hostilities.

Plan
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.

Execution
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.

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

Conception
This project was originally titled Project Imperial Sky V2, or PIS 2. After this first 1.2 million obsidian structure was completed. Toska began planning the construction of the colossal successor to the original project in November 2021. However, the members of Imperials that were active and trusted enough to be tasked with constructing this final version resigned during the Imperial fracturing drama before it could be launched.

Final Plan
When The Collective was created following this mass resignation, Toska altered the plan to an adapted version of the Collective logo. The project was renamed to Project Collective Sky, or simply Collective Sky. This new plan will consist of a total of 163,752,212 obsidian, and is set to be complete within 2022.

FitMC Incident
In July of 2022, a player by the name of oofplux approached Toska 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. Thinking he was trolling, this was ignored until the fabricated story appeared in a YouTube video by FitMC. 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 its construction phase.
