History
Settled duringOn the Firstsecond daymorning, after626 aacclaimed 571 as their Captain, and called for 571 to lead them and the group of 13surrounding leftplayers spawnout of the Tundra. 571 said they should follow the sun. The group of between ten and foundtwelve grasslandtravelled awaythrough a Taiga biome until they reached a Forest Biome, where they arrived by a lake.
The group decided to create a fort on a hill, with minor elevation from the tundra,ground, formingwhere farming skill was trained on Firefly bushes.
After surviving the Northnight Settlementin the fort, the members of Skycity.the

On theon fourth night, the North Settlement's representative Player_724 convenednight with the west's'North representativeSkybase' Player_571,to theform Captain of the 'Skycity.
Economy
New Hill Fort'Fort itself had no productive capacity, and a Participant in a red shirt with a fishing rod provided food, whilst Participant's 323 and 626 hunted cattle as the group whotravelled. hadAttempts firstwere settledmade onto develop farming skills which came to fruition when the group descended the hill aboveto create a skybase, building a small farm by the lake Skycity is built over, to officially form the loose order of Skycity. The Southern Settlement united together with Northern and Western Settlements afterwards, and was then subsequently abandoned due to constant attacks from mobs. As all of the settlers were huddled together in separate sky-bases to make it through the night, the now unified settlement was baptised "Skycity".
On night 6 the north settlement's blacksmith "placeholder" was killed by Player_907. A Kill On Sight order was then decreed, as punishment for these crimes.
As Day 1 session A was winding down, Skycity's population shot up to 26 players. When Day 1session B started, the population quickly exploded to around 35-40, later peaking at 45 before declining again due to food & tool shortages, and a host of other difficulties. This created many problems due to the new need of food, which forced 724 and 571 to call the first meeting of Skycity. This meeting formed ministers and directed new players to separated jobs. Ministers for all classes were created, with one head for each.
Even with their best efforts, Skycity didn't manage to reach food quota for its populace, leading to a Second meeting of Skycity, Initiated by 571 and latter joined by 724. Multiple suggestions to raid were publicly suggested, but were met with large opposition from the populace of Skycity. This meeting did lead to the construction of a large mob farm, both to deal with resource shortages, especially string, & to reduce mob spawning rates around the city at night.
The mob farm was constructed by 101 and later by 877 to get string for fishing rods in response to a growing food issue with the large influx of players.

Government
In the beginning, the larger 'North' group appointed their 'leader' to be Participant_724, whilst Participant_571 was acclaimed the leaderCaptain of New Hill Fort, but decisions were taken on a horizontal basis by the members of the 'West'Fort. groupThe name of the fort was suggested by Participant_626 to lead them from the Tundra. However, despite leaders being in place, both groups were deliberative, decentralized and loosely organized, relying on community bonds and mutual generosity, rather than strict leadership.
When Skycity was officiallyselected founded, 724 & 571 were acclaimed as co-leaders, asby a guiding hand between the two primary settlements.
During the First large meeting of Skycity, ministers were divided and jobs were dispersed between old and new players within the city.vote.
