Obscension

Obscension is a group on 2b2t that is most known for hosting large public events, most notably Pitfight.

Pre-Group
The original Obscension base pre-dates the group by a little over a year. Founded by AnimeTiddie in February 2020, the base started as an area for them to learn Java Minecraft. In January 2021 AnimeTiddie started construction of the central obsidian structure by placing buckets of lava from the nether into shaped water streams. Construction continued this way, slowly building upwards until March 2021, when AnimeTiddie would make their first friend on the server, FreeLees. With only two thirds of the obsidian tower complete, FreeLees brought echests to mine and finish the tower. As the tower neared completion AnimeTiddie started calling it "Obsidian Ascension", this was later shortened to "Obscension". A Mapart was constructed with the groups motto "Peace is the Way"

Early Obscension
Very quickly Obscension gained 2 more members Svenn_Svenn and Hasuemaster. Obscension also had a sister-group "The Untitled Goose Gang" that came to stay at the base. Together they would make a few accomplishments such as locating stashes, constructing an 8 station pearl loading complex, building a massive obsidian archer at spawn, and befriending other groups on the server. One of these early groups was Mew Revolution. In May of 2021, Mew Revolution invited Obscension to partner on a Fight Club type event, where naked players would fist fight until their totems popped. The event was unfortunately griefed after only 1 fight. Thankfully, a player skilled in end crystal pvp, SyndicateNA, was present at the event and he quickly killed the griefers. This event and first hand interaction with end crystal combat gave AnimeTiddie the idea to start a new event, Pitfight.

The Fall of Obscension
Shortly after the Success of the Early PitFight events, the at-the-time co-leader of Obscension, FreeLees, joined other groups in griefing the Spawn Masons. Most notably, FreeLees targeted the base, Chunk Haven. Out of retaliation, a Spawn Mason member, Dectonic, located and griefed the Obscension base using the nocom exploit. Shortly after, the group decided to shift their main focus to the Pitfight events. However, construction of a new base, Boletus, would still begin in the summer of 2021. The group would also gain another valuable member and friend, Mindhax, who owned a large kit shop.
