Melun

Melun's History (Basically mayor's diary)

• Before founding May 03 - May 12

Before Melun was founded, MyNameIsDrDoof and OwO_The_God wanted to build a town in real-life Guatemala, we were about to found the town when 2 unknown users attacked MyNameIsDrDoof who was about to create the town, the 2 of them had already finished the town hall, and were going to claim it, but it was destroyed, both of them ended up having a heated argument, and OwO_The_God left to a safer place, they settled in Venezuela for a short amount of time, but they were also attacked, MyNameIsDrDoof ultimately decided to take a short break from the server, and OwO_The_God settled in a place in the mountains of Peru, built a town hall, and the day after that, got visited by the leader of Bolivia-Peru to join their nation. Around 5 hours later, the town of "Chota" (original name before we obtained m e l o n) on May 12th, 2019.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK im too lazy to write rn so imma just write the phases of the town

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Building begins and relations with neighbors develop May 12 - June 20

(AKA the time where people built on the town that weren't just the mayor... i'm not sad you are.)

• First inactive Period June 20 - July 15

With no incentive to build, no friends to play with, and not big enough of a town to have EMC friends, there was no Incentive to even PLAY.

• Overwork, Overbuild, Overinvite, BURNOUT

(played 6 hours a week or more, 7 days a week, with no one active, I had to pull the WHOLE towns weight with myself, bought beacon got around 18 players to join (none active) even though only had 6 houses.)

• Strange period where wanted to quit cuz burnout but ONE of my 3 active friends came back and started playing again, decided that it would be fun to play with a friend, despite him only getting on twice a week and i'm on every day July 15 - August 30

Other than this, a lot of relation building with Ecuador, my nation leader (wasn't independent YET), and others

• Colonization of Palau August 30 - September 20

my previously active members all colonized the island of Palau, building 3 things, and going inactive again, basically just code for bye guys, you're wasting housing space and I have 18 members and a shitload of gold for a nation fund

• Mining Away September 20 - October 31

Mined for gold fir a nation fund for 1 1/2 months, it changes a man. but hey got 1064 gold I needed!

• OMG I AM SO HAPPY I GOT A NATION NOW I BE ACTIVE FOREVER!! - October 31 - November 31

was like that for a bit... Made major allies, Nation stuff like that... built shops houses, more parts of the town, changed it to be more impressive and capital - worthy... It didn't last forever. NO. ONE. I. KNEW. PLAYED. ANYMORE, NO. ONE. And the people I was making allies with I was not becoming friends wit,

• 2nd inactive period December 1 - Jan 26

I had faced the same roadblock to play again, no incentive, I thought that the whole nation thing would fuel playing, but I still wasn't making friends. I felt hollow playing it, no one to talk to, so, I moved to Hypixel, passing it off as a short Hiatus that I normally do, get bored of EMC? Play Hypixel for 5 days, that'll do! But that's not what happened... I kept playing 1 1/2 months Sky block, 2 weeks of Bed wars, and 2 weeks of the pit. but then, when I got so good at Sky block, Bed wars was going kinda nowhere, and I hit Prestige III on the pit (major landmark) guess what. THERE. WAS. NO. I N C E N T I V E. The same problem with EMC 2 months earlier, I just lost it, what's the point? There was no point anymore, no goal, no achievements, just more stale gameplay. Just like EMC, but EMC wasn't stale anymore so I got back on. (which is today, as I write this.)

With the town that gone from 26 to 2 members, my nation from 3 towns to 1, I'm going to have to do a major revival, good luck, me, lets not make it like the 1st 2 Overplay Overbuild Over-invite Burnout periods. Let's make it count this time.

-January 26th, 2020.

• Town Revival?

We'll see.
