~ A Bored Kid, a Magma Egg, and a Dream - The Sahara Era ~

During June of 2022, JR was searching for a Minecraft server to pass the time over summer. That's when he stumbled upon EarthMC. His first instinct was to head to Germany and build Frankfurt — a dream quickly crushed by the sight of a completely claimed Europe. Like every fresh spawn, he was immediately flooded with town invites and clicked the first one: SAHARA. A handsome man named Kyoto handed him 4 diamond blocks and a plot, and just like that, his EMC life began in the town of Idles.

After about a month in Idles, his eyes landed on a MAGMA spawn egg at a drop party hosted by the nation of ASUKA. This was his ticket out of the lower class. He traveled north of Idles, and on June 27th, 2022, the town of Tamanrasset was born — still in Sahara, but now entirely his own.

~ From 50 to 240 Chunks - The Tamanrasset Era ~

What started as a small desert claim grew fast. 50 chunks. 100. 150. 181. The town kept expanding and JR kept building, and Tamanrasset became his home for nearly two years. Then, on August 26th, 2023, Veyronity came along with a nation for sale. JR didn't hesitate — he was now the proud owner of a nation. Around January 2024, Veyronity gifted him another, which he passed to his friend Ice4_ — this became Fezzan, a nation JR continues to assist to this day. Veyronity and JR also co-founded The_Atlantis together, which they eventually sold for 2 gold after it became more burden than glory. Tamanrasset itself has since been rebranded twice over the years — first to Menia, and then to Oasis — a town JR still owns to this day.

~ Frankfurt, Finally - The Germany Era ~

On March 21st, 2024, JR finally fulfilled his original dream of settling in Germany. He founded the town of Frankfurt and the nation of Deutschland — a subsidiary nation operating under the umbrella of Germany, with Masrain, the owner of Germany at the time, overseeing things. JR developed the town and the nation, but after a couple of months, the chapter came to a close and he moved on.

~ Islands and Good Company - The St_John Era ~

JR's next stop was St_John, Newfoundland, where he and his friend 4Floppa set out to build something great on the island together. They expanded it and made it beautiful for a time. Eventually though, as things go, the energy faded and JR returned to Tamanrasset for a few weeks to regroup.

~ The Capitol That Almost Was - The Washington Era ~

Not long after, Ghostyuu — owner of the USA and the town of Washington DC — was stepping back from the game and needed someone active to take over. JR stepped up, moved in, and built a large capitol building during his time there. From August 4th to September 3rd, 2024, he held the fort. Then he handed it back to Ghostyuu and returned once more to Tamanrasset.

~ A Long Quiet - The Return to Oasis ~

For roughly six months after Washington, JR stayed anchored in Tamanrasset (now Oasis). He wasn't particularly active on the live server, spending most of his time working on builds on the build server instead. It was a quieter chapter — but the foundation was being laid for what came next.

~ Vive la France - The French Era ~

Eventually, the pull of his friends brought JR to France. He began moving through French cities, holding towns on behalf of the then-Emperor Veyronity — passing through Normandy, Brittany, and Monaco before finally settling down in the south west of France in Toulouse. His IRL friends took up the towns of Marseille and Paulaner nearby. France has been home ever since, and for the first time in a long while, JR stopped moving around.
