Owari
Owari (Kanji: 尾張) is a town located on the Japanese Island Honshu on EarthMC Terra Nova. It's one of the oldest still existing towns in Japan.
History
April 2019
Owari was found by a friend group consisting of Arekkusu98, B1te02, Ambistro, MikeShotZ, Amouros and others on the 19th April 2019, 4 days after Arekkusu98 first joined EarthMC. The area around x 25000, z -6500 was flattened to build the first houses of the new town. Many of the original buildings still exist today. Shortly after founding the construction of Owari castle began. The towns population rose quickly to 20 citizens and its size to about 70 Chunks in early May. The Owari Discord server was made on the 2nd May.
May 2019
To the surprise of many, the mayor and founder Arekkusu98 suddenly resigned on the 13th May. The mayor rank was given to _Y3LIR_. Owari was very inactive from that point on. RandomRakuu, Chl0e_k and Timer24 were one of the few players who kept playing during the time of _Y3LIR_ being mayor.
Griefing June 2019
Owari was griefed by an inactive citizen on the 15th June. Areas at the spawn were destroyed and around 130g were stolen from chests (probably Ambistro, one of the founders did it). The damages were repaired quickly.
Summer 2019
On the 23rd June, Timer24 (a German player who joined EarthMC on May 7th) became the new mayor of the town after _Y3LIR_ wasn't online for 42 days. Owari joined the nation of Japan one day later. Timer24 quickly became the only citizen in the town because all other residents were kicked due to inactivity. He continued playing and the town grew to 125 Chunks.
Inactive Phase
From August to November the town was completely inactive. While progress in many areas in Japan continued, the town didn't change at all. On the 22nd October 2019 Owari joined the nation of Shimazu after old Japan was disbanded.
Revival early 2020
In early November 2019, the town became active again. Taima_ started building new houses and invited players. An automated Farm was added under the spawn area and the town was connected to the -1k nether highway. At the end of January Owari had 6 citizens and a beacon was added to the spawn.
On the 1st February 2020 Taima_ was falsely banned for „bot-using“ but was unbanned a few days later. On February 15th Owari joined the nation Tokugawa which was later renamed to Japan. In March Owari became 176 chunks in size.
