Franknificant

Franknificant is a newfag builder, mostly known for designing and building builds based on fictional and real-life structures for events like Fight Club, Nomad Games and Pitfight. Most of his builds are available on The Archive. Frank has also been interviewed by Lunch_Katsu about his experiences on the server.

History
Franknificant joined in May 2020 but remained largely inactive until September 2020. After learning about the existence of Fight Club, Franknificant got into contact with Forceken and decided to build a miniature obsidian version of the Notre Dame cathedral as an arena for the next event around 9500 blocks from spawn. After receiving donations from people that appreciated the build he decided to build a bigger church for Fight Club at the opposite coordinates: the Saint Laurenschurch. The build was also visited by Fastvincent1 during a live stream. After this project, Franknficant changed his building style and developed the self-proclaimed 'obsidian core' method whereby structures would have an obsidian skeleton placed between blocks. This made the builds harder to grief while also allowing for variation in its block palette. This method was applied to three more churches. The Berliner Dom was again build around 9500 blocks from spawn. During the building process the build was griefed but the obsidian core served its purpose and kept the build mostly intact. It was used for the last formal Fight Club event and visited by famous Turkish Minecraft YouTuber Doğukan Adal. The Frederick's Church was build at Adamantium, a joint Shortbus Caliphate and Guardsmen base. The last spawn build of what was now called the 'Four Spawn Churches Project', the Hagia Sofia, was build for the second Lost Nomad Games event with the help of multiple Turkish players, including Poyraz_Kaptan, 0yiqitozturk and gokberkimben. For the Halloween/Presidential election Fight Club Event Frank built a big 'Trumpkin' arena with a Fight Club arena in it. Frank also participated in II's 1 million TNT Cube project, where he also built a TNT replica of his original Notre Dame build. Early 2021 Frank was invited by BachiBachBach to take a leadership position in the new Infinity Incursion building division.

In late April, he came uninvited to Mediano, a Guardsmen base, to troll and build a replicate of the original Notre Dame church. The base got griefed by the Backstreet Boys, though there is contention on whether Frank gave them the location. Due to backlash in the II building division he left the group after the first spawnbase: George Harbor. Out of revenge Franks original Notre Dame was also mined away, although Frank rebuild it on the exact same location. Around the same time Frank traveled to the X+ world border, where he build another exact replica of the Notre Dame at the very end of the axis. After participating in the grief of a SpawnMason lodge and base called Chunk Haven with Team Rocket, Todarac used the Nocoman exploit to find one of Franks personal abandoned stashes. Frank had just joined DonFuer but left the group to not bring any of their future project into danger. In august Frank also got into a conflict with the Lost Nomads, leading to the Nomads stealing one of his designed churches, the Duomo Cathedral, and building it for their own event.

The same month Frank designed the Watchmen Citadel, a giant obsidian structure based on the Soviet Palace, at the Guardsmen Homeland, as a celebration of the rebooted Watchmen conquering the terrain. It was built in collaboration with rlbob, Gravixous and preb2. Around the same time Frank and Forceken would start The2b2tTimes, a weekly newspaper printed as a mapart and spread all over the server. They covered different topics, such as exploits, the potential of the server updating, the drama surrounding Jakethasnake52 and BachiBachBach and their behavior around minors and the 'unwritten rules' of the server leading to multiple bans. At SpergClub, a BSB Spawnbase, Frank built a replica of the Dome of Rock, an Islamic shrine in Jerusalem, with an obi core, as well as a pixl-art of Jakethasnake52 and a statue of himself as a cop arresting Jake and Bachibachbach, both of which were involved in drama during that time. A replica of the statue was build in the watercube at spawn. For the fifth Pit Fight event Franknificant designed a space station inspired by 'High Charity' from the Halo franchise and yet another replica of the original Notre Dame build, built with the help of multiple members of the Pit Crew. Thereafter Frank was invited to join HermeticLock's SMP base where he built a replica of 'El Castillo', a Mayan pyramid, with an obi core and a Fight Club arena in it. For the Fight Club Reboot event in October 2021 Frank designed an enormous Hausemaster statue containing a lag machine and built a seventh replica of his Notre Dame church in the Nether, around 1 k from spawn. For the second Hermeticlock SMP base Frank designed and built a replica of the German Speyer Cathedral, containing a museum with different artefacts and over 250 unique banners related to groups, players and events on the server. On November 1st, 2021, Frank and Forceken would grief Spooky Hole, a Halloween base organized by Bachibachbach, as retaliation for Bachi's immoral behavior around minors.
