History
Founding
FroyourFilms was a member of Saint John for around 2 weeks when he considered founding the town. NetherMite13 encouraged the founding and offered gold to help found it. However this wasn't necessary as he had 251 gold saved up. Talks about it's founding were held as early as May 28, 2021. FroyourFilms chose the name. 'New Albany' after Albany, the town he first joined on EMC. He founded New Albany on May 31, 2021
Flag
FroyourFilms designed the flag on May 30th, inspired by New York City's blue and orange flag.
Recruitment
On June 5th, NetherMite13 told FroyourFilms to begin recruitment. He soon did, even though he didn't have a lot of plots. Plot were bought very slowly with recruitment being a slow grind, averaging at around 20-30 residents over the summer of 2021.
STAR Alliance
By this point New Albany's first 2 active residents of Solrise and DaFishMstr had become inactive.
Having heard of the STAR Alliance previously, FroyourFilms was interested in what it was about. After learning of the entry requirements and with SaltedSuris and the original Albany in the Alliance he and New Albany joined the STAR Alliance on September 18, 2021.
Decline
After a few months or so FroyourFilms became disinterested and a little disillusioned over New Albany's location, size and influence. Especially over the fact that none of the residents ever truly integrated into the community. For him it was hard enough to get them to even join the discord. This caused a period of decline in which FroyourFilms barely recruited and hoarded gold instead of buying chunks for the town. The town population got as low as 9. Fortunately REVL1S kept things lively by being one of few active residents.
FroyourFilms didn't expand during this time as he saw it as being a bit fruitless, he was still saving gold to expand by this point however. Things sooned turned around after FroyourFilms decided to save up for a nation.
Revival
While now hoarding gold for a nation, New Albany was more or less the same size for months. After finally downloading Litmatica, FroyourFilms designed a new town-hall for New Albany, replacing the 4 chunk unfinished heap of basalt and warped planks. Hearing the news of an upcoming Acadia cinematic by Monkeree, FroyourFilms was quick at work finishing the town hall and plaza he started at the beginning of his town. He began buying a few chunks for residents and started recruiting. Leaving New Albany with 23 residents.
Handover to hc5k
With a desire to create a nation, he found that hc5k was willing to become the Mayor of New Albany. On the afternoon of November 22nd, 2021 he handed over the town to hc5k. That same day hc5k bought 20 more chunks for New Albany.
