Motorway Extension Gurus

Motorway Extension Gurus, also known by the acronym MEG, is a nether highway mining group on 2b2t. The central objective of this group, is to extend the existing highways which have been built by predominantly Independent Interstate Society and independent players. The members of this group, are tasked with creating tunnels which facilitate elytra flight, and extend into the millions in each cardinal direction, as well as their respective diagonal axises. Ultimately, this will allow players to travel between spawn and different regions of the nether with relative ease, making reaching otherwise unreachable regions significantly more accessible.

History
On the 15th of October, 2019, Citadel2222 was on his way to world border, and stopped at the -5M, -5M milestone to check if any milestones existed. He flew around the area, and luckily stumbled on another player, named Illville502. By some aligning of the planets, Illville502 logged in, while Citadel2222 was checking some shulkers. Both expecting immediate death, to each other's surprise, both individuals were not hostile, and so forth a friendship began.

The two began discussing building a milestone at -5M, -5M, due to the sheer lack of anything substantial. For a number of weeks, these two players built a large monument. For two strangers who mets on this relatively un-maintained highway, it was a significant achievement.

Proceeding this, Citadel2222 and Illville502 decide their next project would be to extend the -X, -Z highway, which to their knowledge ended at -4M, -4M overworld (based on no existing path between -4M, -4M and -5M, -5M which they had become akin to. To each other's surprise, once they went back into the nether, the highway had been spontaneously extended - another individual had mined past them. Both players were shocked, which prompted them to find out which player had been extending the highway. The player was nowhere to be seen, and a placard was left to invite him to join the assembly-to-be. This player was VeryVon, who upon seeing these signs, decided to join us. It was on this date (the 28th of November, 2019) that MEG was formed.

VeryVon created a customised baritone script, which allowed the individuals to mine in a 3 * 3 format on the diagonal axis. Using this framework, the group has been digging the -X, -Z diagonal highway for a number of months since conception.
