Willyburbia is a large town situated on the island of Sumba in Southern Indonesia. It was founded on November 17th, 2018, by BiscuitLee and SuperWilly, who were also the two creators of Willyburbia’s first incarnation on the classic server. The town currently occupies 20 chunks and is home to 14 residents.

History

Ancient Willyburbia was founded in early 2018 on the banks of Lake Chad in Central Africa. The location of the modern incarnation was chosen over a spot in the highlands of Central Asia. It grew fairly rapidly after its inception, with the population growing sevenfold in the span of less than one month.

Conflicts and Tragedies

Early in the town’s history, residents of Thailand falsely accused BiscuitLee of griefing wheat and cows from their town. A player named Fox sailed to Sumba, apparently with visions of some grand military operation of "revenge." In fact, he only proceeded to steal some wheat and depart in disappointment and dishonor.

More recently, on December 8th, 2018, two players named RamBreaker and Lilli were invited to the town. After being shown a plot, they proceeded to steal resources from the houses of BiscuitLee, SuperWilly, and Lukasmus12, after which they departed to ransack other islands in the Malay Archipelago. They are thought to be behind the sign that read “Raided by the Bandits” along with the date. After their departure, SuperWilly, BiscuitLee, DanilPoke, and General_Gosmer pursued the bandits and caught up to them in the middle of the Indian ocean, ready for a showdown of epic proportions that would go down in Willyburbian history. However, no players were able to successfully hit any other opposing players, so the conflict ended in a stalemate.

On December 15th, 2018, BiscuitLee and Superwilly embarked on a journey to Antarctica for the purpose of returning with snow. Since they were in the area, they also decided to explore and determine the situation at the bottom of the world. However, the world’s end only resulted in the player moving back two blocks, and this process somehow resulted in BiscuitLee falling into the void.

Later on the night of December 15th through December 16th, 2018, BiscuitLee and SuperWilly set out on a journey to California to purchase eggs. On their initial trip, however, a strange case of lag caused both players (who were occupying the same boat) to fall through the world and lose all items.

Naming

Willyburbia is named after the fictional town of the same name that exists in The Willymeisters’ hit horror film “The Call of the Wild Willy.”

Satoorn

Satoorn was the first non-founding resident of Willyburbia. Due to the fact that he was recruited before the town’s official creation, Satoorn travelled all the way from South America and was crucial in securing the necessary gold reserves for the town’s inception. A day after the founding, however, Satoorn publicly declared via signage that “this server wasn’t what I thought it was,” and subsequently became inactive. Today, his house belongs to gummybunny777.

Farms

The farms of Willyburbia consist primarily of two chunks to the West of the central residence. One contains wheat, melons, and pumpkins, while the other contains oak trees.

Created from the former home of BeanBag1234, the embassy overlooks the North coast of the island, and contains an expansive blue sign reading “WB” to welcome maritime visitors.

Suva-Alaska Tunnel

The Suva-Alaska tunnel is the first major piece of underground transportation infrastructure in the history of Willyburbia. It spans from the Northern shores (on the Suva sea) to the Alaskan chunk.

Satoorn Memorial Canal

The Satoorn Memorial Canal allows for passage underneath the center of the island via boat. It is named for Satoorn, the first non-founding resident of Willyburbia.

The Marianne Memorial

The Marianne Memorial was constructed on December 6th, 2018 (a date which shall live in joviality), to commemorate SuperWilly’s conquests in texting a female. The first tier was created to specifically recognize the aforementioned event, while the second tier was subsequently constructed to commemorate SuperWilly taking the same female for an off-campus excursion within the permitted period.
