This truly was a tragic event. At around 8:30 PM on 8/1/2012 I logged onto the Minecraft server to only find that our treehouse was almost completely burnt to the ground. After my cries of agony, ZeroCheese and Kashi joined the scene, we put out the remaining flames that engulfed the bar and the surrounding tree, however, it was too late; the damage was done. Now, all that remains are the memories that we've had, and the blocks that stood the fire's rage.
The History of the Treehouse
About 6 months ago a new world was founded and named Eldaria. Once word of this find spread to Candeland, two Cande-explorers set out to find the treasures of this land. Those two explorers were BioSaw1 and GregD. The explorers reported their finds of the great trees that they had seen, with canopies touching the heavens. They challenged themselves to climb to the top of these trees in order to see down from above. They were successful at this and after doing so made a camp above.
After reports of the findings in Eldaria, President of Candeland, CAndeMan, sought out to visit the encampment. There, he discussed with the two explorers of the possibilities in the new world. They decided to build a colony on the trees, and thus was the birth of the Great Treehouse. Within a fortnight, a mess hall was built with stairs descending to the jungle floor and was home to the Candeland colonians.
The colony's expansion was focused into the development of agriculture and science. Buildings were designed to improve their understanding of the new world and what lies within. With our observatory they were able to gaze into the stars and improve their understanding of astronomy. They founded many constellations and were able to develop advance technologies with the study of gravitation and relativity. These technologies including a suction pipe that could force monsters up through a spout and lead to their death by flame. Other advances in science included the study of redstone mechanisms. With increasing understanding of this, they developing moving doors and lights leading to a major project along the shores of Eldaria. This project was the first lighthouse in Eldaria and assisted in naval navigation. Advances in agriculture were lead by GregD. He made larger and more efficient farms that helped create a food surplus in the colony. Eventually he adapted the science into his massive farm and created an automated harvesting system. They continued to study these sciences until 8/1/2012.
