Hey guys, Razerlyte here, and today is my officially the starting of my third official year of Buildcraftia/BCSN. Over the years, I have had a wonderful journey from when I got my first warp back in February, 2013 to when I became part of the staff earlier this year. Here is a recap of how my years and experience on Buildcraftia have been. July 25th, 2012 Joining the server as “Craftman_21” and starting up my first thing I ever built in minecraft. The month before I joined the server, I was in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and wanted to try to build a minecraft version of the CN Tower. I started this off as a solo project, but eventually, I asked for help, and kody_thekid came rushing through the helper door and helped me finish the tower. *Fun fact* This was the first minecraft server I ever get to go on. December 31st, 2012/ January 1st, 2013 I was at Costa Rica at the time, but luckily, I still had wifi as well as a time zone that was actually usable to go on the server at a decent time. During that night, I came on around 11 pm local time, and played for a bit and then midnight struck at local time for me. MacMeBennyZ/MacMeBenny/Zach teleported each player to him where the staff would host a firework show. I didn’t know at the time how awful fireworks were to the fps, so I tried recording the firework show. I ended up uploading the video, and as it turns out, the video is still up on youtube with 200+ views. When I was recording, I was getting around maybe 5 fps so do not bother actually watching the video. This show was 7 minutes long I believe. February 25th, 2013 I get my first warp on any minecraft server, and boy, was I excited for this. At this warp, I had two rather large mansions that kody_thekid and I built together. Danny1112222333444555 or now known as DannyTheTiger came along and helped with my interior. On a plot next to the warp, I built my first amphitheatre based off my mind. It was filled with stone everywhere, it was literally just different textures of gray. (50 Shades of Gray reference unintended) The Spring of 2013 During one week, when 1.5 I believe came out, there were two different Buildcraftia servers. One for 1.4.5 and 1.5. At the time, the 1.5 server was vanilla survival, and everyone was spawn killed. Unfortunately, nobody can downgrade to 1.4.5 so I was stuck with this survival. June, 2013 I found out that we had a minigame server. I ended up spending hours on the minigame server playing paintball with DustyAshton every single day where I will destroy her one game, and she will obliterate me the next. Dusty and I ended up exploring the maps to find any good spots to hide, because at the time, there was only one life, one kit, and you had to pay with in game credits for items like the air strike. July, 2013 I tried building my real life house on one plot but with custom terrain and a custom boat. Man, that turned into a disaster. It was more or less just a box with a roof and windows since I never actually took the time to measure how big the house actually was, and the shape. October, 2013 There was a server wide build contest going on with a Halloween theme. I ended up building my “haunted house” on the same plot as my attempt on my real life house since I had no plots to use. Funny thing is, at the end of it, nobody ever announced a winner and I completely forgot to submit my haunted house. December, 2013 I ended up buying my first rank, exactly when contributor came out. 5 bucks were well spent, regardless of this barely even helping to pay off the server’s fees. I believe I also got donator too, and at the time, every rank you donated for showed on you on /list. I was thinking of getting every donatable rank so my username appeared beside everywhere on it. January, 2014 Before Arcadia came out, I got VIP I believe. When Arcadia came out, I was awarded with the “Queens” rank and I was happy considering the fact that I had Premium features. Fun fact, nobody ever got to see me with a green username. March, 2014 I ended up buying Premium between the transition of Arcadia to Buildcraftia. I ended up sharing my skype with about 100 people on BC, so to this day, I still have about that many people on skype since people removed me from their skypes and people added me. At the end of March, Buildcraftia came up again so I guess, woot woot. We had a low player count though, but many people were happy that we finally got back to Buildcraftia. June, 2014 I found out that people can enter the_end world so I quickly built a portal to enter and set a home in there. I broke my portal so nobody can enter it. I was going to use this free land as a place to build a medieval styled village and that brings me to how I met Remmi. I was going to build a new spawn for the end and eventually did with the help of Remmi. July, 2014 I started building /warp halingcove and Remmi had recently gotten mod. She kept staring at me while I was building away, and somehow, I barely ever noticed her. The forums came, and I ended up getting a forum account I ended up selling my Craftman_21 account to JeremyC as I had a spare account since Jeremy needed the Craftman_21 account for his little sister. How generous of him! November, 2014 I paused my halingcove project and ended up building /warp hotelhespolis which was originally a school project (Wait what, minecraft part of a school project? The hell) I ended up completing it and bought a new world and used the hotel as my custom world. Unfortunately, I sent the wrong file to Zach, so I had to complete the hotel again January, 2015 I ended up completing the hotel again, and submitted it as a warp. Thankfully, it got accepted Late February, 2015 I got my first staff rank on BC as a helper, and later that month, I ended up completing halingcove which is still a warp to this day. Of course now though, there is parkour at the warp that Phoenix built, you should check it out! May, 2015 I got promoted to Admin by a staff poll for who shall become admin with Ryan. I ended up getting the fastest admin rank in the modern era as it took only 2 months. Mid July, 2015 I quit being a staff member and got awarded with the MVP rank. This is also when I started building my city which I still have much to build right now. July 25th, 2015 I get to spend my 3rd official year of Buildcraftia with all of you, and get to some what celebrate my day. Thank you guys for making this a wonderful 3 years for me! I hope you guys have loved your time on here as much as I did!
Happy anniversary! I hope everyday counts c; Can't wait to see you on BC for many more years to come! Hope it's still up <3
Razer, looking back, I realize how far you've come. I remember last January during mod nominations "Do you think my application will be accepted?" I said yes, and that you will probably go very far. Little did you or I know that once the nomination results were out, you'd embark on your staff journey from Helper, Moderator, Admin, then Retired Staff. I'm glad I've had this chance to be friends with you, and hopefully we can continue to blow up DTC Maps together. Happy 3rd Birthday Razer.
Thanks man, and yeah, some journey through staff I had there. Blowing up dtc maps when ever it is not a serious game is just excellent with you since the maps just look amazing at the very end! Anyway, hope to see you around Word!
I agree with all of the above. But seriously, BC is lucky to have an incredible player like you. Whether it's amazing builds or just generally looking out for people on the server. You're someone we can't afford losing. Yet again, happy anniversary.
