S0M3ONE's Introduction and History on Minecraft
My Minecraft name is S0M3ONE and I've been apart of Minecraft ever since its Alpha stage. I was introduced to the game by a youtube star (I like to call him that) named NiNjAassassin545 on skype. At the time that he had introduced me to the game I never even knew about Minecraft Classic. So really there was no way of me testing or trying out the game before buying it. I looked up a couple of youtube videos about Minecraft and got interested. The next day, after being introduced to the game, I purchased it. After a bit of playing single player I showed my friend the game and he seemed to like it also. I wanted to get together with him and play some Minecraft but he hadn't bought the game yet. So he asked me if I could play Minecraft Classic with him. I didn't notice nor did I know that Minecraft Classic even existed.
We started browsing through the server list looking for a good server to play on and a place to build where our work will be safe. Finally, after much searching for a good server for days, we stopped by a server called Chocolate Land (Vanilla 2.0? and built a huge mansion. We spent 4 hours on the mansion and eventually when an admin logged on, my friend and I were promoted to the 'Badass' rank - skipping two ranks.
After months of playing on the server, I earned my position as 'Executive' on the server and my friend became the 'Chief Admin'. Later, the server shutdown, nobody knew why at the time but it was a saddening moment for all the members of Chocolate Land.
It was time that everyone had to move on after a month of Chocolate Land being down. I went to a server called 8 Bit Art and within 15 minutes being active there, I became the Co-Owner. I built a couple maps single handedly and actively moderated the server.
After sometime since Chocolate Land shutdown I decided to reopen the server. Everything was rebuilt from scratch and many new players began to show up. Some of the old Chocolate Land members began to make appearances on the server, which was my true intentions of opening the server in the first place. I began making improvements into the community and created a new website and forum. Links will be provided below.
Once I've taken over the community it began to expand even more. Its popularity rose and not too long after I reopened Chocolate Land a great member of the community offered to host an SMP server for us (which is currently whitelisted. You can submit a whitelist form on the Chocolate Land forums).
Now, my computer is incapable of hosting and the Chocolate Land server shall now be inherited to whom I pick as the next-owner-in-line (he has already been chosen, just look at my forum announcements for Pete's sake!). What's up with my computer you ask? Well, my computer's OS is corrupt (thanks a lot Windows Vista -.-) and many other programs/softwares are also going corrupt. I can't get anywhere near 15 minutes of using my laptop without it crashing or freezing. Now the only way I can spend quality time on my computer is through "Safe Mode with Networking." But there's not much I can do on that setting so I use my step-dad's computer now.
Anyways, now I'll give you some information about me and what I do now:
I am currently a developer of the Minecraft Classic Server Software, MCKat.
I am the Owner/Co-Founder of the Minecraft, Chocolate Land Community.
I am a moderator on MCForge's site and forum.
Hobbies?
I play basketball, minecraft, work with computers, play some PS3 occasionally, and hang out with friends/family.
