Nation of Seven Boats
History
Trial One:
The beginning of Seven Boats can be traced back to Session One of the Second Event. The people that were to become its first citizens were all spawned in a desert and nearby mesa, where several rivers cut across and provided means to grow crops and trees. Outside of the small patches of riverside grass, the rest of the terrain was proved to be very dangerous, and prone to spawning dozens of various hostile mobs.A small sky base was created by (citation needed) overlooking one of these rivers to protect himself from potential mob attacks (was it?). A few days passed, and other people would join him on top of the sky base to fish and stay safe. Due to the resource scarcity of the desert, the people of the sky base eventually all agreed that they needed to migrate to a new land. The people organized themselves, preparing seven boats for their departure. When the sun rose that day, everyone drove off the side of the sky base and into the water. Following the coastline of the river. The group would search for a new place to settle all day. Eventually, they came across a Savanah full of pigs, chickens, and cows. It was decided that it would be the perfect place to settle, and so they all disembarked on a tiny beach and began to build a new temporary sky base.

It was during this time that the group began to transition themselves from a group of separate individuals into a state. The Ragged Pigman was taking more charge of the group, while others took it upon themselves to sow fields, mine for materials, and other vital early-game tasks. While all of this was happening, it was discovered that the nation of Egypt 2Twogypt was less than 100 blocks away from them, separated by a river. Apprehension amongst the people of Seven Boats rose when they noticed the much larger size of Egypt 2.Twogypt. On top of all this, there was an incident not long after where some of Egypt 2'Twogypt's citizens entered the sky base and began looking through chests. It is unknown what or if anything was taken, but people began to grow suspicious and fearful of a potentially hostile or rogue nation. On the night before Session One had concluded, concerns and plans were laid out to all the people. It was then when the nation of Seven Boats was officially created, with Ragged Pigman as its de-facto leader.

Session Two began with a sunrise, which allowed Ragged Pigman and Trickster to sail across the waters to visit Egypt 2.Twogypt. When they arrived at the settlement, they were informed that the faction leader of Egypt 2Twogypt was not online, but that there was a second in command that would be willing to talk. During the meeting, the assistant (who was being jokingly referred to as the Assistant Pharaoh) was asked if his nation had any plans for Seven Boats. The assistant told them that their primary diplomatic goal was to make peace with all neighboring nations, and that they would be more than happy to be friendly towards them. When asked about the potential thieving incident, the assistant admitted that he had no idea who could have done that, so the question was quickly dropped. The two sides agreed that peace was the best plan forward, and that it would be best if they stayed on their respective sides of the river. With the meeting concluded, the two envoys returned home and informed the rest.
Despite multiple server crashes and a small rollback, the people remained in good spirits. Roles were organized, plans were made for a city, and everyone had their role in society. It was at this time that our medic finally reached the level requirement needed to heal teammates, much to the joy of the people. Pink Dog (Name?) was also able to slay an enderman all by herself, and even snagged an ender pearl for her troubles, which she put on an item frame in the sky base. All was not well, however. The medic only had one heart remaining, and he was unable to heal himself due to the nature of the game mechanics. While that issue loomed over our heads, it gave us the idea to visit Egypt 2Twogypt and sell his skills for stone tools, which we could not make quite yet. But when we got there, it was discovered that they too made recently acquired their own medic. While a bummer for any chances to make a profit off of them, it did give us the opportunity to heal our own medic. Some back and forth negotiations followed, and it was decided that we would give them 1 iron ingot in exchange for this service, and they would refund us the ingot when they could mine iron, but for now they just wanted it to make shears for their beds. While all this was going on, a citizen of Egypt 2,Twogypt, who we shall call Thor because of his Avengers Thor skin, decided to insert himself into the negotiations. We didn't think much of it at the time, and we all sailed back to Seven Boats to heal our medic. But when we got there, it was revealed to us that our medic had died. While Ozi was giving a tour of the base, Thor was rummaging through the chests, which had been explicitly forbidden by Ozi while on the boat trip. He was threatened, decided to surrender the stolen food, and sailed off back to his home. Then, Ozi was attacked and killed by one of the people of Seven Boats!
