Preamble

The history of the community is plagued with conflict. However, I believe that this is a sign of success. No system is perfect, no leader is a total saint. This applies to me and those who came after me. However, I would be remiss to not mention those who in this generation have been completely lost to history. Names like “Enderkillerboy” or “CRAZY4UGIRL”, just aren’t remembered. This is a terrible mistake. For any nation to grow, it’s people must know the past that made their present possible. This is the result of my outcry, all generations must know all who made this community possible. Chapter 1: The Squad

The Fraught Squad; it was the start of everything. Here is where I made a name for myself. Where I became arguably one of the best PvPers. This is where I, a self made man made the foundations for the community, right? No. The squad was a complete accident. For all the credit I get, every single one of you should be thanking 3 people of the community; woefulbus, GVKnight and ShowStopperLola. These are the people responsible for the first generation of what will eventually be known as the Fraughtian Community. For the first half of GEN 1, no one knew what a “Fraughtian” was. Everybody just played Minecraft. That was it. As a matter of fact, I wasn’t one of them. I was playing my Wii, you know, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Galaxy, and more. Enter woefubus and GVKnight, childhood friends of mine. These two introduced me to Minecraft and Xbox. I was sold. A couple months after first contact, I had my own Xbox with Minecraft. I started playing the usual survival, creative wasn’t a thing back then. However, once again, woefulbus and one of his gal pals, ShowStopperLola would revolutionize my world. They showed me their world, known as “Cookie Castle”. By today’s standards, it was nothing special. It was a large castle where people lived. Depending on their loyalty or resources, they were given a class (first, second or third). That was it. This, dear reader, is what inspired me. Unlike my world with only a handful of people, this world was booked. People left and right, acting under a leader. Everyone had a job in Cookie Castle and no one dared betray it, because they depended on each other. By this point, all I knew was how to build a house and PvP (somewhat), but this, this was something else.

I embarked on my own journey to replicate Cookie Castle. I started to build, “The Town”. The Town, for those who don’t know is officially the first Fraughtian city ever built. What no one knows is that I got help, from GVKnight. He made a subway system and a couple of Rooster Teeth inspired monuments in The Town. Again, this was nothing special. Just a poorly built town with a class system ripped off from Cookie Castle. But it was a start. To be truthful, it was my first taste at leading something through Xbox. It was incredible. The Town is also known as the “The Peaceful One” because no one ever PvPed in it. There are no heroic battles, just a bunch of people working together. It was in this peaceful, patient environment where I learned how to lead. Things were going great, until a new update introduced a little feature called Creative Mode, and once again turned my world around.

Chapter 2: First Followers

Creative Mode was a bonk to the head for me. Unlimited resources? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS! Either way, I had to try it out. By this time I had a couple of followers because of The Town, but it was nothing special. I realized the potential of creative and I made a map containing a mini game called “Mastercraft”. It was a modest hit, but people demanded more. Prompted by the people, I made more maps like Country Map and eventually Deseo. The most popular became Country Map and so a new identity began to build for the “proto-Fraughtians”

Here we can appreciate John0, PuppyFlame,DarkVyper, Waffles, cat in gaven, ExportedSquid, TGATSFY and more. This was the start of the second generation, where people began to identify with my creations. If there was ever anyone you could declare responsible for boot starting my interest in PvP, it was John0. He and I fought the first World War in Country Map. For what? He wanted to be my ally and I wouldn’t let him. I lost that battle, and I vowed to never lose again. John0 was a more experienced player in every single way and one way or another he teached me lots of things. I’d be hard pressed to imagine anyone else who has had a bigger impact on me...except for...two people.

ExportedSquid and CRAZY4UGIRL were two of my most notable opponents in the early Fraughtian Army days. ExportedSquid was a Country Map player. He started making his empire and quickly grew powerful, so powerful in fact that he wanted to conquer the world. For a kid his age, this was nothing short of impressive. All he had to do was defeat all the players in the game...and so began World War 2. Again this kid, for his age, was incredibly swift and clever. Instead of facing the combined forces of DarkVyper, John0, cat in gaven, me and others, he decided to wait and take us on, one by one...and it worked. To win, either side had to get 10 kills. The score? It was a 5-0, and we were desperate. It was only in the last hour or so that my team began regaining dominance. I remember that in one of the battles, me and John0 worked together to collectively land a kill on ExportedSquid in the air. Anyway, why was this kid significant? He unknowingly showed me the value of morale during a battle and the importance of the use of tactics. It may seem obvious now, but back then, I was no better than your average PvPer. Sure I was little more patient than the rest, but this kid single handedly taught me the importance of actually planning before an attack. He also taught me how snobs can get killed more easily than modest people...little tip, if some dude begins to brag about his PvP skills and is rubbing it in your face, he’s not a good PvPer. This kid was good, but as soon as we figured out his tactic, he lost. Still, the score ended up at 10-9, so he deserves some credit. Now about CRAZY4UGIRL, who is he? Why is he important? Well if there ever was anyone responsible for unifying the Fraughtians, it was him. Why? Because he was a common enemy. They say, there’s no better way to unite a people than by giving them a common foe, and that’s what happened. You see CRAZY was a huge Deseo fan. I appreciated that, however when he started to copy them...I got a little mad. Then when he started taking credit for it, I got pissed. Surprisingly, it wasn’t just me. My fellow Fraughtians were also mad that this was going on. So began the rivalry between us. The people on my side became proud of “their” maps. As time went on, ExportedSquid began doing the same thing, causing an even greater outrage by my members. What they didn’t know, every day we became more united. After a few months, and many threats from a so-called “Crazy Nation” which never existed, the Fraughtians prevailed, more united than ever. You see, sometimes you have to thank your enemies, as they may be responsible for what you have now.

Chapter 3: A turning point

You might be wondering, when do all the exciting battles happen? Well the early White Caps, weren’t too concerned with battling. White Caps were seen as the top members of the Fraught Army, and had a more political role. However, this was about to change. Everyone in the army was a PvPer, trained by me, but the new people that began joining weren’t too into PvPing, they just wanted to play my maps and defend them when necessary. This turn to a more peaceful view of the world marked and dominated the 3rd generation of Fraughtians. A sense of “community” began to fill the hearts of people. As I once said, “There are two worlds in this army”, since both types of Fraughtians loved the maps but they manifested it in different ways. None of this was truer than in a small encounter my army had with Soulcrusher and his army.

One of my new recruits came up to me almost in tears and told me that his other clan was mistreating him. I felt pity for the kid, and called for a meeting with this clan. Almost like clockwork, the kid was invited to SoulCrusher’s party. SoulCrusher cussed out the kid, calling him the worst of names and shamed him in front of his members, who said nothing at the injustice happening in front of them. I decided to break the silence and defended my member. SoulCrusher bad mouthed me and kicked me from the party. I wasn’t about to let some tyrant to continue to hurt one of my own, so I called my members and joined his server.

When I joined, I noticed that SoulCrusher, his members and my recruit were concentrated in an area. I told my recruit to meet me in separate location

...to be continued...maybe.
