The Collective

The Collective is a project-oriented group based around the goal of creating a space for the more relaxed, mature and less toxic side of the community. The Collective aims to be anti-larp, which is why the group is modelled quite generically, prioritising in-game involvement and activity over status.

Origin
The Collective was founded on February 23rd, 2022 at 3 AM by the Collective's Council and Inner Circle. Previous to this they were members of The Imperials, but increasing distrust in higher leadership, past controversies and arduous infighting caused them to reconsider their future in the group. After deciding it was better for them to leave, most of the current active member-base resigned at once. The people that stayed within Imperials weren't happy about this as it meant that they had to rebuild their presence on 2b2t from scratch, even though Toska and ACABMichael stayed behind to aid with making sure there was a smooth transition between power as the old leaders resigned and new ones were appointed. Certain higher-up Imperials became increasingly harder to work with so eventually the Collective had to break ties completely. The Imperials have remained at odds with The Collective ever since.

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. Although 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.

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.

Current State
As of late August 2022, Project Collective Sky is still in planning, it is projected to be completed within 2022. Limited detail is given about the project for it's security, this page will be updated once it is completed and there are no security concerns.

Information
The Enterprise Collective Shop, or EnCo™, is an item store that aims to operate as a transparent and reliable centre for goods and services, among the sea of untrustworthy, shady and risky shops that operate on 2b2t.

Concept
Alpha City is a series of bases that aim to mimic the classical, nostalgic, old-style of Minecraft buildings. Aspects of this architecture could include using flowing lava for light sources, glass blocks for windows, or utilising a limited block palette. The goal of the base is not to fool anyone into thinking these bases are historical locations, but only to create bases the old way. It should be noted that they are constructed usually on old chunks, near spawn. The process of establishing one of these bases includes cleaning up the build area and fixing the terrain to create an area of authentic looking old terrain. Part of the plan is that they should not last an extremely long time, they are constructed for fun.

History

Oofplux Incident
In July of 2022, a player by the name of Oofplux approached the planners of the Collective Sky project 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 project planners believed this to be trolling, so it was forgotten about, until a FitMC video came out featuring a segment about how Oofplux supposedly destroyed the project's only stash, rendering it impossible to build. After finding out the situation was brought up to FitMC and publicly announced that this information was false, Oofplux vowed to bring an end to Project Collective Sky. As of yet, no action has been taken against the project.
