=== Philosophy ===

Throughout his time on EarthMC, 8set developed a philosophy not only for use in PvP, but which was applicable to most interactions on the server. His approach was multifaceted, prioritizing strong specialization of skill, honor, and extreme caution.

Throughout his time on EarthMC, 8set developed a philosophy not only for use in PvP, but which was applicable to most interactions on the server. His approach was multifaceted, prioritizing strong specialization of skill, honor, adaptability, and extreme caution.

==== Specialization of Skill ====

As a PvPer, 8set became fully devoted to improving himself and honing his ability, specializing uniquely in EMC's low-tps PvP of the time. Among other things, he emphasized the importance of not being discouraged at a loss but using it as determination to improve. He often watched clips of his own fights from other people's perspectives as well as his own to review his performance and identify any inefficiencies or mistakes, creating a loop of consistent improvement

As a PvPer, 8set became fully devoted to improving himself and honing his ability, specializing uniquely in EMC's low-tps PvP of the time. Among other things, he emphasized the importance of not being discouraged at a loss but using it as determination to improve. He often watched clips of his own fights from other people's perspectives as well as his own to review his performance and identify any inefficiencies or mistakes, creating a loop of consistent improvement which ultimately benefitted his skill level as a whole, giving him a unique ability to constantly return stronger. 8set had a strong determination to build a reputation of incredible skill, basing his PvP improvement on the idea that death is dishonorable, as oftentimes players would display armor sets of killed PvPers. His determination to constantly improve proved a useful trait as a nation leader, allowing rapid development and effective action to become trademarks in his work.

==== Honor and Respect ====

Through his time on EMC, 8set came into contact with people from many different playstyles, whether it was other PvPers trying to make a name for themselves, scammers looking for quick gold at the cost of others, or simply those looking to build. 8set understood from an early point in his time on the server that simply being friendly will get you much further than being egotistical. While he held a notorious reputation for his skill, he also held one for being among the more down-to-earth and civil PvPers. He did not hunt (except in times of war) because he felt it was dishonorable to, citing its similarities to outright theft without any reason other than to make money. He didn't harass people much in chat about pvp, nor did he request duels often either, allowing others to come to him with challenges. He engaged in bounty work a few times, but typically only if the contractor was a close friend and the reasoning was solid to him. His reputation and own respectfulness led to many people of various different backgrounds respecting him as not only a skilled fighter but also a genuine, stand-up person. This respect and honor extended to his place as a nation and alliance leader, gaining him valuable alliances and close friendships throughout the server, giving him a unique advantage in diplomatic affairs.

==== Adaptability ====

8set also understood that in order to develop as a fighter, he must be comfortable with various styles of PvP and various tactics used by opponents. He started with simple swords, and moved to diamondpot, then to nethpot, and finally axe/smp, refining skills from each kit which would serve as fundamental components of his fighting style later on. He would often take the time to watch clips from rival PvPers to understand their own style and learn it himself, expanding his own ability to adapt to different opponents and fighting styles. Through his few deaths in PvP, he identified weaknesses in himself and his opponents and later returned victorious. This adaptability also led to great success in his post-pvp interactions, as he learned and adapted to the various geopolitical factions and their way of business, forging his skills in war, peacekeeping, and alliance/nation-building. His strategy of self-review allowed him to identify things he was doing incorrectly or inefficiencies in his work and remedy them, solidifying his skills as a leader.

==== Extreme Caution ====

8set's intent of building a fierce reputation led him to be extremely cautious when picking fights. Oftentimes, he would only fight if he was sure he would win, such as if he had friends waiting behind him in the case he was ambushed by his enemy's reinforcements. He oftentimes refused duel requests because he knew the other party would not duel honorably, especially if he did not have backup himself in the case they brought more people. 8set was also extremely cautious in his affairs outside of PvP, often taking the time to consider all possible consequences of an action geopolitically and devising effective and complex plans for action on behalf of his nation.
