The Drain

The Drain was a base constructed by Offtopia and willyroof during the waning days of The Rusher War. Offtopia based with high ranking members of Team Aurora who helped with the construction. The base was toured by FitMC on October 22, 2016, without Offtopia's permission.

Later history
Fit was able to find it by using the bedrock exploit of late 2016, which had been used to find the location of his Fitlantis base beforehand. After Fit's video, Offtopia declared that the base was compromised and it was the end. Fit then made a video explaining that he would not reveal the coordinates. However, Offtopia knew Fit had used the bedrock exploit and suspected someone would use Fit's video to locate the base. Eventually, the 4th Reich found the base, due to Fit "accidentally" including the base's region files in his Fitlantis world download, and they griefed it.



The Drain Rebuild Project
On October 22, 2020, nhocangian decided to repair the base after being inspired by Fastvincent1's video about it. Initially, he worked alone, but he soon invited his friends Lunch_Katsu and NotedPainter814 to help out. They brought materials, and with their discovery of the Pyro Dupe they adjusted their mission; rather than rebuild the base to its previous state under Offtopia and Willyroof, they would "recreate [the base] and make the base better" in their own plan. A few weeks into this effort, other players even started to come in and add their own builds to the drain.

However, by November, progress began to slow. The Pyro Dupe was patched and the resources of the rebuilder team were dwindling, so they decided to reach out to other players for help. They initially contacted BachiBachBach, who was surprised with the progress on the base but was too busy to help. DIGMC found the base on November 26 and contacted Terbin, who told Offtopia and Willyroof about the rebuild. They liked the project, and nhocangian stated that "I've never feel so honor [sic] in my life".

Leijurv soon showed up and build a big black structure in the center of the drain. Nhocangian initially thought he was trolling, but was soon informed that the Spawn Masons wanted to hold their weekly lodge at the drain, in the structure. The Masons and other notable players (including the griefers of the initial drain!) arrived to build additions of their own.

On the 18th of December, the base was made public and griefed. You can read nhocangian's personal account of the project in his reddit post about it.
