Willyburbia
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 33 chunks and is home to 21 residents.
History
Ancient Willyburbia was founded in early 2018 on the south 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." He only proceeded to steal some wheat and depart with disappointment and dishonor. Weeks later, on December 16th of the same year, BiscuitLee and Superwilly were attacked by iFluxify and Jump_Fox on a Northward excursion. iFluxify and Fox proceeded to travel to Willyburbia, though their efforts were fruitless as the Willyburbian land claims proved to be sufficient security. Willyburbia ultimately netted a profit of 9 gold from the encounter due to a gold block placed intended to lure the players to fight. Due to their unfair treatment, BiscuitLee and Superwilly decided to heroically journey to the town of Bangkok and ransack the city, leaving triumphantly with their inventories full of loot and hearts full of honor. BiscuitLee and Superwilly were subsequently reported and warned despite the Thai players also breaking griefing rules. However, the conquest of Bangkok is known throughout the land as the paramount achievement of Willyburbian valor.
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.
In January, Superwilly and BiscuitLee again tried to raid Bangkok and other Siamese cities. iFluxify explained the ultimate failure of this raid saying "this however didn't work as Fluxify managed to pretend to see the damage they had dealt to the Kra Canal but secretly he managed to turn on pvp and teleport back to Bangkok where Fluxify then chased them away. He called Willyburbia 'panicky individuals'." What exactly is being described will likely remain a mystery shrouded by the cloak of confused syntax and words left unaccounted for.
The town would ultimately collapse due to inactivity in 2019.

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.
