History
The short history of Dunkerque starting on the eighth on November.
Genesis
What Mustache made
When EarthMC Terra Nova began, there was one, his name was MustachevsEarth. He came upon the untainted soil and brought the town into being with 32 gold bars in hand, the gold that we collect every day from voting must've taken Mustache at least four days to collect.
Mustache looked upon the barren area where he made his town plot and thought of how great it could be, so he toiled and put his time and gold into the area, he dug deep, chopped trees, and had high hopes, and with these three Mustache was able to expand out and make a few buildings like the town hall, bank, and eventually, the subway station.
The Meek Inheritor
Sorta_Cool_Guy Enters the Scene
The second mayor joined the server a few weeks later in November and spawned in North America, he had received a warm welcome from all the jolly people on the server and he eventually got a message from a player he knew as Turtle, who offered him to join Dunkirk, what he didn't know was that there were two Dunkirks, one was Dunkerque made by Mustache, and the other was Dunkirk made by Turtle.
He was happy that there was already someone who wanted him and he made a long voyage across the Atlantic. A third of the way there someone from America who asked him to come back and join his town, but Sorta was a dedicated person, he ignored the devil's temptations and made the rest of the journey to Dunkerque where he would find Mustache trying to build, and AssassinSwift protecting him.
Upon entering the town he asked to join and was instantly accepted, and the first thing he wanted to do was to build a house, and he focused on that for three whole days.
The Conflict
Unbeknownst to Sorta, Mustache lived in the same time zone as another known as 32Gold whose very name is a joke based on the amount of gold needed to start a town, and he was a bitter person hailing from Nazi Perpignan attacking French towns and ruining others' experiences with the server. When Sorta first met him he had mistaken 32Gold for a nine-year-old from his bland insults. Sorta clearly never played Rust and called him out for being a child, and never paid him much mind until Mustache's departure.
And the Meek Shall Inherit the Town
Mustache had enough of 32Gold's antics because he could no longer build, he gave responsibilities like Builder and Treasurer to Sorta to test him, Sorta put his gold into the bank because. "It [was] [his] town too and [he] wanted to see it grow", Mustache knew Dunkerque was in good hands and told him the reasons he was leaving and left the town to Sorta and told him to, "Make Dunkerque great".
Anger and Acceptance
Sorta_Cool_Guy was angry and lonely, Mustache was gone and it was all 32Gold's fault he thought, he began to plot the destruction of 32Gold, but after a good night's rest he forgot his hatred because it was just a game and because they didn't live in the same time zones. Sorta was able to build uninterrupted as Mustache would've wanted for himself.
Present Day
The Mercenary from Perpignan
On a fine day Sorta began to build, but he noticed three people in enchanted diamond armour, two were from Britain to help and one, daddychamp, claimed to be hired by Perpignan (_Slaid denied this so one can't be too sure), the PVP was turned off so no fighting happened and everyone stared at each other awkwardly until they got bored. I believe that daddychamp is still an outlaw, I should get around to undoing that.
Building and Expansion
Sorta_Cool_Guy is now building the town, trying to get new members, and being friendly with the rest of France. Land is being claimed to make a quaint little coastal town. There is a town right next to Dunkerque, it's Ghent and they agree for mutual claim blockn't, however the neighbors have been inactive for a while.
Small Scuffle
IanSpace71 of Mergopolis raided the town on December the eighth, 2018 while under an alliance. He destroyed the forest south of the town, tried to kill the citizens with lava, and asked for five gold and a banner while wearing an enchanted set of diamond armor. The PVP was still turned off so the people of France and IanSpace71 looked at each other awkwardly while throwing the occasional taunt. He went back to his town with one of the cows his accomplice had taken, and left some messages saying that Spain paid for Dunkerque.
Christmas and Snow
The town was decorated for Christmas and had snow everywhere, the decorations were removed the day after and the snow was slowly dug up until early March where it is now mostly snow-free.
