The following describes my experience on ImDeity PvP, during my first play on a public server. All of the events here take place in one month. ImDeity: mc.imdeity.com

My First Days Here
I had become sick of playing on my friend’s local server, as it was nothing but a little WorldEdit’d island on which he acted like a toolbox. I also didn’t want to play Singleplayer anymore, because I accidentally deleted my favorite world (It had a city in the sky; I wish I had pictures) as a result of screwing up with a mod installation. I was looking around on one of those websites with a list of top servers, and after browsing and trying different servers, I found this one. I read what it had: 500 slots, a Towns/Kingdoms plugin, mcMMO stats plugin, a PvP server, but what intrigued me most was that it had a creative server. Needless to say, I copied ImDeity’s IP into my server list. The following morning I decided to try out its creative server. I remember noticing and appreciating how secure and organized it was. When I found my plot, I built a little house from my Skyloft world, plus a roller-coaster I deemed the “Lobotomizer”. After several fruitless attempts to get people to check it out, I tried /mine. Back then, I was really a noob at mining and couldn’t find anything. So I finally tried PvP. I really liked it. I teamed up with 2 players, ominous_trevor and another whose name eludes me, and we set out for adventure. Of course, we were killed within 2 minutes of leaving spawn territory, but eh. I tried getting iron armor, but that took all of the 50 dei I started out with, and I was murdered anyway (I’m a terrible PvPer ._.). I stuck to camping around spawn and begging for materials and shelter XD, and I met damionalpha and lilcstyle. Lilcstyle too was a beggar. Damion noticed I was starving and gave me food; and led me and lilc to his shelter. We spent days there, gathering materials, raiding small unclaimed bases nearby. A few days into this, lilc attacked me, which we took as betrayal and removed him. Though, we later found out he was just bored . Damion and I soon decided to mine, and we found lots of gold, lapis, and Redstone. We searched mainly for gold and redstone cos we thought we could do something with gold in PvP (Turns out the vault doesn’t work in there :I) and I had a strange obsession with Redstone. But when we came back to our base, we were ambushed and lost our bounty. We simply added more cobblestones to our walls and carried on with our duties. But the ambushes continued. The next day, me and Trevor logged in and found the base sacked, with all its valuables removed. We saw it was claimed by a faction called ‘firegods’. We spent hours searching for Damion, who was the admin of firegods. He said the base was unsafe, but he found us a nice one in the sky. He invited me and Trevor in. That was the true birth of Firegods.

Damionalpha and I were tidying up our skybase. I added a tree-farm, and he added extra rooms and an extra floor. By the time we were finished, Trevor was long gone, inactive. Once we were done, we added a jump pad in the back so we could dive into the lake under us. Life continued like this for a week or so. We soon made the base rather gorgeous, if I may. We had a vault hidden behind a painting in the guest room (for trusted allies). I had been wandering around near the eastern portion of the map, when I found an outpost of the faction BLMss. I mistakenly thought they were an enemy, and that that was their main base. I decided to tell bugdady of BuenaVsa (short for BuenaVista). Unfortunately, I had forgotten. Damion and I were messing around with some noteblocks in our base when we saw 4 people burst in: bugdady of BuenaVsa, MoonLamb of BuenaVsa, legitstoner420 (also of BuenaVsa; I’ve heard from MoonLamb he now plays as polarbar01) and TardyWafflesof Aurora. They weren’t happy. They planned to kill us for my mistake. It was TardyWaffles who convinced them to let us go. In my panic, I became really friendly (unusual because at the time I was quite aggressive) and befriended Moon and Tardy. With naught left to do, bugdady left us with a warning; to make our base more secure. I really wish we had listened to him right away, because we were attacked by the same kid that ambushed us in our original base a few days later. I was hiding in the prison cell with the door blocked, and Damion fought the invader. I shouted in our alliance chat for help, that we were being invaded by this guy. Right away, Moon and Tardy came and got rid of him. That cycle persisted for a few more days, until I saw that Damion had found a decrepit (yet massive) base in the eastern quadrant. We soon, regrettably, abandoned our skybase we cherished so much and took refuge in that base. We were quite confused when we were attacked, but we found out this belonged to a once lively and famous faction known as DaCreed. Being a noob, I didn’t claim a large portion of the base, leaving our valuables to be stolen. We were attacked by StephonDaBoss and his friend 99diesel until our friend from the faction Venice, bryttonmp5 convinced me to make a new one. While we were doing that, Damion recruited two new members, zard347 and BriannaLovesBri. I over-expanded our base again, and was prone to attack, prompting Damion to join Tardy instead. We were continuously being attacked by NCR_Guy and Tallpines, because I was friends with their enemy RileyBachelor. It was here that I, regrettably, got myself banned for 10 days. It turns out BuenaVsa and Aurora (Tardy’s faction) had become tired of protecting us and let us die. I had lost my will to stay on PvP, because nearly everyone was gone (1.3.1 had just come out; many people updated). It had soon reset, and nothing was the same...
