Fimlin_Resignation

[Fimlin 1997]

I’m only making a post because mi amigo @Crunchiest_Leaf has, I’ve been essentially gone for a month. 

 

I’ve played on this server, or been in some discord affiliated with it since I was 12 years old in 2013. I’ve always had a lot of creative pursuits on the server, and had always been developing wild ambitions for my community and the server alike. I eventually accomplished what I wanted to on the server and left around 2019, with a brief stop by to help build Dark Harbour and the Barrowlands interiors on Almaris dev. 

 

Then in 2022, a bunch of my friends made Barrowton, and it was fun for a brief while, I stuck around. In 2024 I had the opportunity to work on map development again, and I thought it was worth my time to make this contribution, after all I had been saving concepts in my head since I was a kid, it seemed like it would be fun to bring my creativity to bear here as an adult for my own community and the server at large. 

 

But lo and behold, the same people who desperately cling onto OOC minecraft server power are still here as adults. The blatant lying to the public, backstabbing and gaslighting for personal power remains, and seems to be the priority.

 

I’m out, I don’t come home from work or school eagerly awaiting my chance to deal with this, I had soft-quit about a month ago before the holidays, when I had to cut this activity out in order to lock in for school and never bothered coming back. It’s not worth the time battling with this type of energy just to create stuff, and that became abundantly clear as the map dev cycle wound down, and what took up my discord was constant bureaucratic scheming and stonewalling.

I hope you all enjoy what I was able to contribute by outworking the bureaucrats. I pumped many, many, many, many hours into the map; staying up late to match Riverbird’s timezone to go over the paint, building a few hundred trees, painfully carving out the rivers, making custom biome colors, and ‘painting’ the actual ground of a majority of biomes. These trees are still available to be used.

To summarize the post I never made about Alduun:

For Idunia I dedicated a massively oversized city, delivering on my promise to make the Cathedral larger for every time somebody told me my Aevos cathedral was too big. The souls going up to the seven skies is inspired by a real series of paintings by my grandfather. I built over 70 unique homes in that city in a few week post-work stupor before I realized I got carried away… oops. My second attempt at creating a large-scale, multi-district but centralized city, my magnum opus of place block break block activity, I hope it serves you well.  

 

Special thanks to @milkyi, who put in considerable effort polishing/fixing issues in the city while I was briefly away, and also for making the fairgrounds, the original marketplace, and a bunch of features across the tiles. Additional thanks to @IrradiatedGoose/Breadnugget/BreadGoose/IrradiatedNugget for the docks and tunnel by the capital, as well as several gardens and minor details across the city.

 

Many thanks to those who helped with interiors, I had trouble finding the full list but special thanks to Clone_Fives and russijaka specifically for the help.

Thank you for your years of dedication and service mr Fimlin, I admire your grandfather's work every time my character steps a foot into that cathedral. on the scale of your efforts, that one, and knowing where it comes from, I think is especially beautiful

Happy to have known and interacted with you for so long Fimlin. You've been an integral part of the server whether it be as ST or World Dev. Best wishes man, thank you for all you've done.

Thank you for the work on Azuras and the behind the scenes biome stuff you showed me

Another massive loss. 

 

Godspeed Fimlin.

The Cathedral build with the souls is by far one of the greatest things I've seen, your grandfather would be proud! You were always a cut above the rest, old friend. Thank you for your service, rest well 🙏

Thank you for creating such an amazing map and for making the capital of Idunia so great.
