History[edit | edit source]
Pre-founding[edit | edit source]
Following the departure of Andrew_Gill and his friends from a small and barely documented town named Brones in mid-2011, a new base began in the works; Boatmurdered.[1] The base was christened Boatmurdered after a game story of the same name in Dwarf Fortress, the "Chronicles of Boatmurdered."[1] A video of the original game in Dwarf Fortress can be found here.
Founding[edit | edit source]
Andrew_Gill and his crew founded the base in September 2011, Andrew's first and final permanent residence.[1] [2] The newly established group wanted to pay homage to the stories of Boatmurdered, so they created their base underground, with construction beginning in September 2011.[1] Construction continued into November. Base documentation began around this time.
Peak of activity[edit | edit source]
At their peak, Boatmurdered had 20-30 active players at the base.[1] The base featured a mass transit system and a large amount of vines, which were a rare commodity as the item was new to the server.[2] Soon after the founding, the group formed good relations with the Dwarves and the members of Fellowship of the Diamond who were basing at Diamond Town.[1]
During the base's peak in December, the group, along with the Diamond Town residents, the Dwarves, popbob, and other individuals led a large occupation of spawn. Activities included creating lavacasts and bombing out large sections of spawn. The group concentrated their invasion at the spawn area which was on top of a 15x15 obsidian platform at the time. The occupation lasted 4 days before Hausemaster had to intervene to remove the lavacasts so new players could escape as usual.
Decline[edit | edit source]
Over time, Boatmurdered's residents split up and moved on to new projects. Andrew and others took residents they were suspicious of to a base called Stoneforge while Core768 took other, more trusted members to a base called Rhodes. Stoneforge acted as a decoy to retract attention from the main base, Rhodes. Stoneforge was later insided by CytotoxicTcell.
Boatmurdered was griefed over time. Some notable griefers were Sato86, fubster, xarviar, and Jacktherippa.[1]
Description[edit | edit source]
Boatmurdered's notable aspects include:
- Boat Murder District Transit System (BMDTS)
- Boatmurdered's abundance of vines
- Offices, apartments/residential units, and a dining hall
Boatmudered was created between a few ravines, about 30 blocks high from the floor of the base to the tops of the ravines.
