The Mineshaft's plans entailed a one chunk wide hole to Y coordinate 12 for optimal mining purposes, with the walls lined with iron blocks and sea lanterns to illuminate the shaft. The shaft digging finished on 30 Jul 2019 with assistance from town member Irre1evancy, the total construction time being approximately one week. The costs to purchase the needed iron blocks urged BetaPlain to scrap further improvements to the shaft, barring a skylight that was later added to increase light within the shaft. | ||
Multiple raids occured during the shaft's construction, one involving the loss of an estimated 75% of materials that were to be used during construction. | Multiple raids occured during the shaft's construction, one involving the loss of an estimated 75% of materials that were to be used during construction. | ||

'''Relations with Andamooka''' | |||
A small town by the name of Andamooka had existed across the river from Newburn, and BetaPlain quickly established relations with the town. Andamooka would later be destroyed due to inactivity and replaced by a more active mayor. | |||

Shortly after Newburn had joined Yukon, player SgtCartoon founded the town of Kodiak and later founded the nation of Kodiak.

BetaPlain envied the prestigious position that SgtCartoon occupied as leader of Kodiak, and the influence he commanded over mainland Alaska. Without a nation to attract consumers, or a profitable business to back his gold reserves, Newburn was incapable of serious competition with Kodiak. | ||
'''Limited Town Expansion''' | |||
A new town storage building was created next to the police station, and new roads were constructed. Irre1evancy came back after a period of inactivity and founded a new business called ALDI in the shopping district. | |||
A Tortoise Class Gunboat, the ''HMS Newburn,'' was constructed by Malagasy contractor the Royal Malagasy Dockyard. | |||

Irre1evancy's townhouse was remodeled by a resident, and the town went from a few buildings to a multitude of communities. The shopping center's foundation began development after possibilities of trade with the outside world opened up via boat and ice travel. | ||
Construction on new ice highways throughout Alaska began and a new ice highway was constructed to connect Newburn to the growing ice highway network that was set up in Alaska. New roads were constructed. | |||
'''First Elections''' | |||
Among the new residents that made Newburn their new home was player JerryFunHouse. JerryFunHouse became very active within Newburn for a short time and BetaPlain's activity was dwindling. JerryFunHouse constructed a large house and new buildings throughout the town, such as the church. | |||
BetaPlain had longed for a democratic government in Newburn to increase activity. With a splurge of shortly active residents, BetaPlain hosted an official election for the position of Assistant Mayor on the Newburn town discord server. The elections occurred on 27 Nov 2019 and the only candidates were JerryFunHouse and PittigBaasje (the latter being a recently active member of the town). JerryFunHouse won the election with a 2 to 1 vote and began making large changes to the discord server. | |||
'''Alaskan Purchase''' | |||
The Alaskan Empire officially purchased Cascadian Alaska from _Incarnation and BetaPlain attended the ceremony. | |||
=== North/South Alaska Period === | |||
'''The End of the Duchy of Aleut''' | |||
BetaPlain's position as Duke of Aleut was eventually destroyed when the decision was made to divide Alaska into the North led by Yggdrasil and the South led by Kodiak. The end of BetaPlain's influential position within the Empire greatly contributed to his future inactivity in the server. | |||
'''Downfall Period''' | |||
Despite signs of activity on JerryFunHouse's part, BetaPlain had long become mostly inactive on the server itself and eventually decided to make JerryFunHouse the official mayor of Newburn. BetaPlain officially left the server with a farewell message to his associates in both Newburn and the Alaskan Empire. | |||
'''JerryFunHouse Leadership''' | |||
Immediately following BetaPlain's departure, JerryFunHouse never joined the server again and the town eventually was destroyed. | |||
'''BetaPlain's Return''' | |||
BetaPlain occasionally checked the dynmap to observe changes to the town over his inactivity period. Eventually, a new town was created in Newburn's spot with a different name which prompted BetaPlain to reconsider his departure from the server. | |||
A few days after noticing the town on the dynmap the town was destroyed and BetaPlain rejoined the server to reclaim Newburn once again. | |||
'''Revival''' | |||
The town was recreated under the leadership of BetaPlain. BetaPlain reinstated his absolute rule and the town rarely gained any residents due to BetaPlain's scarce activity. | |||
