    Yeah I found out after I paid for the land that the mayor was never online. When I got griefed I was so mad that I took every block from bedrock to sky that I paid for lol.

    I'm just glad I had my mayor app in when it happened, and I didn't make me quit.

    Started in the wild with Zoxlei (now banned), then bought a 10x10 lot for 1k in zombieville, owned by outragedzombie. Still own that lot.

    Reading through this and seeing azl's post made me happy, glad you could start out somewhere awesome :D
    Anyway, at first I lived in the wild for like 2 weeks. I got griefed many times and decided to seek housing elsewhere. I lived in a town of which I don't recall, but it was awful and the owner was a tyrant. I moved DiscoBovine's town and it was fantastic. He was so nice and it made me want to have a town of my own. I haven't seen him on unfortunately but I would like to say thanks for the opportunity!

    I started in the wild (my hideout was never found, still there last time I checked) and after I won a lotto and sold lots of obsidian when it was still $10 a block, I bought my first house in outerlocal's town Gemenon. I actually bought a smallish house, then paid him more so I could move into a big, new house he build across town :) still have it, still a beautiful town.

    Well, when I joined, I kept telling people that I was buying a lot for 1k (It was the first day, and I had gotten 1k from voting - could've gotten 1200 but there were only 5 voting pages at the time S: ). I bought a nice 10x10 lot close to a very tall tower in Ireland (actually, the tallest tower in the town!). They had a great public fishing table, that also sold fishing rods for $30 each, so I kept buying them each time my fishing rod ran out. I think I only made one of my fishing rods, the rest were bought. I also tried an underground farm, but that didn't work, so I scrapped the farming idea and made a shop. Everyone nearby was very nice, except for this one person who griefed my house/shop for no reason. However, the griefer dropped his Unbreaking III Fortune II diamond pick and left without it, so I took it, and I still use that pick. :p

    Now, I own 2 shops and a house in the town of Ireland. One shop close to the spawn, and that original one near the tall tower.

    I lived out in the wild until I was given a free plot in Southrow. Unfortunately, the mayor and co-mayor were banned the next day sooooo, after saving up enough money, I bought a 30x30 plot from, I think monkeyButt244, in Ceron where I built an auto wheat farm/pumpkin farm. Then I got mayor and founded Enegek where I still live today.

    As a wee little builder, I began in the wild, of course, with some of my friends in real life, Anja2012, zoolouie, leif519, and snowbleie. I joined the underground network of houses they had elaborately dug out somewhere around -8000x, 6000z. Then my best friend errrrrr6 joined the server, and we decided to go live somewhere else. I dug out another small house only a little ways away, and stayed there for around 3 weeks. We were out mining around that time and found a spider spawner! We built the most ineffective set up I've ever seen, but neither of us knew better. I spent my time fighting these spiders from hell and a kindly mayor named clob1296 said he would buy the xp from me for $3 per orb, which was at the higher end of the market. I also sold enchanted swords which I had enchanted with level 1 I auction, sometimes getting up to $800 for them! I earned my way towards resident and found kecks07 selling plots in Appaloosa for 2k, I didn't know this was expensive, but I didn't care. I built my first farm on that plot, and farmed it quite a bit and built it up higher and higher. I then noticed that my mayor had a huge pumpkin farm! It was around 50x50, and I farmed this in secret until I found lotto. I sniped my first lottery with 50k, and found that I was getting an adrenaline rush from it. I won and bought mayor. I dug out most of my first town without knowing of "world edit" and then I knew what I had to do. Saved up, bought it, and with the help of all of my friends in real life from above, we built a town with a 100x100 farm, and plenty of plots. Fortocelot. It was always being griefed by builders, but I stayed on top of it. Every grief report was posted by me or my co-mayor zoolouie. I continued to play the lottery, sniping quite a bit, but I lost a lot of money on my road to presidency. I finally went on a winning streak and won enough, until I sniped a lottery and won 230k, I lost a few after that, but kept enough money to buy [President]. I sold permanent access to my 100x100 farm (I've made 300k+ on it over the months), and sold access for half the big 200x200 farms, getting tons of interested people. I got my third town Pecunia, but botched the worldedit which left a 2x200x200 area clear, and tons of mountainous area on top left to be destroyed. I continued along on the server, mining, farming, and generally having a good time, and then I got bored. I quit the server for around 4 months, but came back late September, and as far as I know, I'm never leaving again.
    This has been story time with Zardgyer, and this is my history on the server.​
    Thanks,​
    Zardgyer​

    Well, some people may know him, other's may not. Slimypeople48 is my cousin, and since he was already a Mayor when I bought MC, first thing I did on the server was receive a TP request from boston81, who I had no clue who he was. Slimy PMed me and told me to accept, and I did. From there, I slowly, and I mean slowly, I'm bad with saving money, went up in the ranks. Builder for a few weeks, then Resident for a very long time.. Finally Mayor, all because of slimy :) slimypeople48

    I grew out in the wild. dug a hole and started farming. as i was expanding my farms i ran into a town border so i moved. i dug another hole and farmed some more. finally someone found my farm so i bought pilot and built an 8 level chunk farm in the aether. was planning to build a nice base there when farms were banned in the aether. right then my computer died and i wasn't able to be on for a while. when i got my computer back i decided to finally get mayor and am now setting up my own town.

    First day I joined ECC, redminion911 sold me a 5x5 apartment room, when I did not know anything about towns or permissions yet. A week later, the mayor of the town, poptartlol, tells me that I had to pay to be part of the town. He was nice enough to let me stay until I earned enough money, and later, I had around 5 plots in his town.

    Lol I started in the wild by plonking down a chest right outside spawn in the wild and going back there to store valuables
    Then I bought a plot in Berlin from Komrk888.
    I bought a house of Ike in Edelweiss and I still use it today.
    I then bought a big plot in Nox when it was not a fiery hell, but I became inactive and during that time Kuke was offering residents in Nox compensation for their plot which was going to be destroyed, I didn't check the forums and missed out (FAIL)
    Then I made my town.

    Then I became co-mayor of Crannington and I have a house there

    So uhh yeah
