Ok first off this is a really long thread, I had no idea I had so many pictures. If there was one for every adventure I had, structure I built and friend I made then tinypic.com would run out of bandwidth.
I was organizing my laptop when I came across some old videos and screenshots from Kreatious. They ranged from my first map on Minecraft, to the last time I ever had real fun on it, and some crazy stuff I did on the server in between.
I rarely go on anymore unless i'm drunk on hormones with my friend (as some of you saw about a week ago), or just to say hello and see if I recognize anyone... which I increasingly do not.
So i'm thinking I should share these files, share some memories from when grief protection meant more than a duck, fun was burning Zergs home, telling people to stop swearing didn't immediately make you a mod, and exploration wasn't just using a minecart.
So this is my first home in minecraft, no dirt hut for me. The cactus wall was very effective, but I was on peaceful because I was too scared to make it real.. shut up. If I saw this now, I would want to TNT it, but back then it was a masterpiece to me.

This is my bedroom (minecraft 1.2 so there are no beds yet), I put signs up with the IPs for servers and plastered paintings everywhere. The forefront of interior design.
I made the images too big, so instead of re-uploading them all you are going to have to use the link
(I had a picture of my bedroom, but lost it... twas epic, I recall)
Heres when I started getting into multiplayer, VC when they updated their server.

This says minecraft 1.8 because this wasnt taken when the house was built, it was just before Vanillacraft reset so I went back to visit my old home. I built this with a guy named ItchyBoy, there was a treefarm behind it and beyond that Old Green. I collected all the resources and he has the credit for building this beautiful house in The Village. The wool house next to us was owned by Baker, we used his wheat farm often and he always tried to buy our red wool carpet.

Here are more of my visit in 1.8. This is what is left of the treefarm..

The cactus in the living room I always mistake for a creeper, every single time. They looted the red wool when we lost the house, but I managed to get some more for it
http://i45.tinypic.com/v7vc44.png
Heres a lookout I made for ItchyBoy. When I got banned from Vanillacraft I managed to get unbanned, when I came back they told me he had got banned too and so the house was lost. I had to buy it back for 4 diamond blocks, but back then world holes were common so I just mined those out. I tried to add Itchy on steam recently, but to no avail.

This was how I got into Old Green, those dirt steps I went up sooo many times, I just had to take a screenie because its immediately what I think of when I think of OG.
http://i45.tinypic.com/rlapon.png
On the walls of Old Green, just went up dirt steps. To a noob this looked amazing, and it still does. I always wish I had a place like this in one of my cities.
http://i45.tinypic.com/mip0mx.png
Again, I saw this every time I went down the steps from my waterside house to the ocean near Old Green to collect water or go fishing. These are words to live by....
http://i46.tinypic.com/znwldk.png
My house in Old Green, Chadburgess lived with me. He was some rich little kid, apparently he got banned for stealing (my stuff included). He had a cousin called JarrodBright, and made one called Grapevista or something, both of which I banned on Kreatious through super awesome mod sneakiness

The main room of the house.
http://i47.tinypic.com/xeo1t1.png
Garden, originally our lot was just the dirt tuft that we built the first level into, but like most, our house ended up enveloping the whole hill
http://i49.tinypic.com/jl3p5s.png
The view
http://i47.tinypic.com/2ynfc07.png
I start out on kreatious, I only began taking pictures as rsd.
This is very bad quality, but you can just make out Jbige7's white head as he tries to fight against the current and escape the lava of a mob grinder. Pow19 is hovering on the threshold pondering what to do. Don't ask why we decided to swim down a mob trap, that was considered normal even with all your valuables. Pow ends up swimming down into the lava to try and place some blocks and help Jbige, but dies trying and loses his iron, but Jbige picks it up and escapes so happy endings all round!
http://i46.tinypic.com/2mdifme.jpg
Me and Pow go in because we think he may have some stuff remaining down there. Not surprisingly we both die, BUT FOR THE CAUSE!
http://i46.tinypic.com/29o4ilw.jpg
Zerg and Gopher blow up a tower at spawn, with Udo51, Elphalpo, Jbige, and others present to watch the event.
http://i45.tinypic.com/2my6jjp.jpg
This one is my first pic of Mistral, this was taken no where near the start of the city, more in the middle. Laura4's house is through my window, and a fountain Pow19 built.
http://i45.tinypic.com/v8iikl.jpg
Here is Mistral again, Daisy Bridge, my house in the center which I made as a noob, my first real attempt at a house. I tried to make it look like the one ItchyBoy made.. but I got lazy and failed completely. Very roof heavy isnt it?
http://i46.tinypic.com/s5e8on.jpg
The beginnings of Elphalpo's Crator. Zerg's head is visible as he jumps about blowing TNT.
http://i45.tinypic.com/34hb6tc.jpg
Start of the Aqua crator, Cardsmen and Gogyst work on the project.. and I make trouble.
http://i49.tinypic.com/209rlz9.jpg
I hit the TNT next to Cardsmen while he is afk or typing...
http://i47.tinypic.com/2eezp60.jpg
Gogyst drops down and hits him and the recoil gets him far enough away not to die, but here's a nice picture of him getting a scare and Gogy trying to avoid the blast XD
http://i47.tinypic.com/5oxb3q.jpg
Update: 1.5
First rain, me and Pow start frolicking in Coastside Mistral
http://i49.tinypic.com/wtzj9h.jpg
Gogyst sets fire to Zergs treehouse, im vtn at this point. Just after this Zerg turns Kuro's dogs into zombie pigmen and I hit one which chases me for a while.
http://i46.tinypic.com/2d9cupk.jpg
I managed to lose so many videos in between... They included Putch1's city "London", me building my house in Merirox's Hamptons and some of me pretending to accept bribes while moderating, those were my favorite. I am a mod in the next ones.
I start work on my cruise ship, this is situated in the biggest CLEAN ocean I could find at the time. Back then oceans were much shallower. A less ambitious Grape would have used snow, but I decided to use wool instead.
http://i49.tinypic.com/w2gm5h.png
Work continues day and night.
http://i48.tinypic.com/b4gftf.png
Keep in mind this is before you could breed sheep, every last block of this wool was collected by K2, me, or other helpers. I have to say though, K2 did a MASSIVE amount of the gathering, the building was more my forte.
http://i46.tinypic.com/e97zo6.png
This hut was the ONLY safe place on the ship, being completely covered now with minimal lighting we had a really big mob problem. Naturally Zerg spawned some fake creepers to freak us out haha
http://i47.tinypic.com/mlv9s.png
Most of these images have not been of the whole ship, just it from various angles and so the size cannot be fully appreciated. Ducky was very good at keeping the ship unburdened by snow...
http://i46.tinypic.com/286vpnd.png
If anyone remembers this, I love you. Ducky made this then burnt it, not sure why I took screenshots it was just Ducky being Ducky. Still a memorable moment.
http://i45.tinypic.com/238w8g.png
Unfortunately, thats the last of the original kreatious map screenies I have, but we did have a temporary map after that I recall. I shared a house with Purebo, Elphalpo and Brother Con. Its the one backing the cliff.
http://i50.tinypic.com/260zvw6.png
This was the view we had from the top of the cliff the house was built into. We liked jumping off it into the water.
http://i47.tinypic.com/ivives.png
The favorite room of this house was definitely Elphalpo's study room. He went AFK there and studied, and despite rarely even seeing it, he spent a long time designing its interior, which is beautiful. There are signs everywhere with encouraging quotes from people, oh and there he is spanking Ducky...
http://i45.tinypic.com/2ik4ldi.png
http://i50.tinypic.com/28vso46.png
Yeah this went on for a while...
http://i47.tinypic.com/fkbmlt.png
Should be the banner for the "bring profanity back to Kreatious" campaign.
http://i49.tinypic.com/9u547m.png
We went on adventures, exploring the map..
http://i46.tinypic.com/30kwr4i.png
http://i49.tinypic.com/rjinu0.png
After taking the pictures of my homes in VC, I played with Snakejay and some others on a server run by Purebo I think, it was the breeding update and I came up with a pig racing game where 2 people would be in different lanes riding pigs, and 2 people would hold wheat - each leading their own pig. First to the water end wins. Here they are on their noble steeds.
http://i48.tinypic.com/2zdr66h.png
I built a track for it. THE SHAPE IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL, I DIDN'T REALIZE ITS IMPLICATIONS UNTIL THE END...
http://i47.tinypic.com/2yp15ds.png
After that we just called it the penile olympics.
So I hopped on Zergs kreatious and was a nomad for a bit, after losing all my kreations I didnt have the will to build anything anymore. How the mighty have fallen...
http://i50.tinypic.com/28iah35.png
Me and Elphalpo made a cottage, it was pretty quaint and nice but we began to have arguments and the marriage started falling apart.
http://i45.tinypic.com/2q9gjn4.png
The frequent bed invasions didnt help.
http://i47.tinypic.com/2n6w906.png
We got divorced, and I was so depressed I began drinking swamp water and potions of harming.
http://i48.tinypic.com/mkagxd.png
My building skills also deteriorated in my loneliness...
http://i48.tinypic.com/34oao8k.png
Elphalpo did some things he is not proud of. Namely sleeping with TheOWCA.. or is that Jack Sellington?
http://i45.tinypic.com/or447t.png
We got back together and lived on an island together!
http://i48.tinypic.com/2ij32u.png
http://i45.tinypic.com/24l5wl1.png
I have lots of screenshots from a server Purebo and Zanxius ran, but it has nothing to do with Kreatious and I dont feel particularly nostalgic about it, so I wont include.
This is my house on kreatious now.. its a little wooden shack, nothing as grand as my previous residencies, but I chose it for the peaceful area.
http://i49.tinypic.com/wuf89c.png
So there you go, my time on this server and vanillacraft spans about 2 years, I started when I was 13 I think and now I am 15. When I joined I was a pretty stupid little kid, and it has been the only thing that stayed the same in my life when I went through puberty, I find it a little difficult to care anymore now that it isnt as it used to be too.
I probably got the timeline wrong in some bits, but ill fix those up if I see them. Also if I have used some profanity, tell me please.
If you managed to scroll through that whole thing then I hope you enjoyed, I can imagine it would be a bit boring an not entertaining, so I apologize for that. I hope someone can get enjoyment out of this, especially if its because they were in one of the pictures.
By no means does this mean ill never log onto Kreatious again, it simply means I will never do anything but chat when I am there.
