Reforms

PTR MC has gone under multiple owners, multiple administrations, and multiple conflicts. As a result of this the server has been reformed in various ways to appeal to certain factions vying for control.

Reasons to conflict
RP In server went into Cold war, but since owners of RP were playing the RP as well, this soon led to conflicts between them both.

Shiite proposed to make Raider admin during cease fire and calm times. Borat agreed, not knowing that this will soon abolish 50-50 system. Later, in the beginning of April, server became 24/7 with help of Shiite. He purchased hosting slot. Everyone was happy, until some times.

Server began to grow, newcomers and skitty came, nick returned. These two people are key figures to future events.

Nick Case
Nick is an old member of PTRMC, that once commited bad things, threatened hacker attack and DDOS on server, for what was banned for unknown duration.

But he returned, and by hopes of staff members was going to live as normal member of PTR MC. But their hopes were broken, Nick got into conflict with Raider, and then, because after rampant abuse of commands to get out of combat and threats of massive griefing, he was permanently banned. Both sides did bad things, and even CSA intervened thinking that its good time for a joke. Well, it wasn't, and became one of reasons for Nick to be banned, as well as one of reasons for revolution. Many accidents happened, many rule breaking from both sides. Another result of Raider's "Threats to establish dominance".

But this case wouldn't be usual because of many things.

First Reason
The first reason was that nick was returned by cooperated Shiite and Borat, with some effort being put in there. Shiite and Borat wanted him to return, and hereby he was important for PTR MC member, though extremely toxic, especially when enraged.

Staff, especially Shiite and Borat, didn't want to lose one of PTR members that have just returned, but raider permanently banned Nick. This, is the first reason.

Second Reason
Second reason of this case was seen easily: Nick lost in this situation because of his own hotheadedness. His original attack on the canal was unjustified, as was his later cowardice and

Its usual for Raider to do threats to other people, but, it appears, he didn't realize that Nick has just returned and was aware of being neglected by community.

Summary: Two reasons that made Nick`s Case important in revolution beginning are: Abuse coming from Raider and Neglecting of Nick.

Skitty Case
Skitty was one of newcomers, that came with invite from Raider. Compared to others, he was more active and decided to risk alot, including his attempt to steal SuP ships in Suez. He got punished with temporary ban, then returned.

He was living calm life as Falklands, until one day. He initiated a small war with Raider and Shiite_. Following which he discovered his airships were useless, causing to get enraged, said that he leaves forever, blew up everything he had including his airship and left. Shiite saved the burning airship and decided to rebuild it for a museum, but skitty returned, and after letting Shiite_ pour almost 35k into rebuilding the ship proceeded to burn it again. This time it quickly sank and was entirely destroyed. Shiite thought its unacceptable behavior, and did permanent ban on Skitty.

Skitty did deserve punishment by server rules, but Borat originally claimed Shiite_ was in the wrong and skitty was innocent until he was finally convinced after hours of arguing that Skitty was in the wrong, however his vendetta against Shiite_ was already too strong. This case became the reason for Borat to prepare for revolution.

Preparations
After events described in previous paragraphs, Borat decided to prepare revolution.

First thing I (Borat) realized, is that recruiting everyone would be mistake, as most of newcomers are loyal to Raider. For this reason, Borat recruited only PTR Members of PTR MC. All of them were invited to group, and surprisingly for Borat, decided to follow him. Revolution was planned on 20th March, but because more threats and empty arguing came from Raider and Shiite, and because of a large and complex situation the original author neglected to include, Borat decided to launch revolt immediately, on 19th March.

Revolution
More than a half of PTR members of PTR MC instantly left, others were going to leave as soon as they get online. Shiite was invited to group of PTR MC 2.0. rebellion. After short discussion, everyone decided to forgive Shiite and join back, to give him last chance.

Revolt was successful. It happened very fast, first result was Raider being demoted. Then, Shiite gave back ownership of PTR MC Discord server to Borat, and proclaimed himself as enemy of state. Regime that was living since Raider became admin was abolished in minutes.

Aftermath
Currently, first PTR MC Elections for single owner are running. Most of PTR Members voted for Borat, newcomers vote for Shiite (Except Skitty, read Skitty Case). Results are unknown yet, but this revolution changed server's way of being run from authoritarian rule and most of power being concentrated in hands of two people to democratic regime, in which everyone has weight in deciding server's fate. Borat Party was formed, it has 8 members (80% of PTR members from PTR MC.)

This vote was never finished, as Raider and Shiite_ along with Endy and Skitty played a prank on Nick by blocking his ship from being able to move. Nick, in usual nick fashion got extremely angry and proceeded to to attack Raider. Eventually the fighting died down but nick was still furious. During this time Shiite_ was joking in chat about Borat claiming this as admin abuse. But in an extremely comical move Borat listened to Nick's unjustified wailing and left the server with his party. This is the beginning of the modern era of Pylium as it is now called, as Shiite_ retook power, although still respecting democracy and its principles. Him and raider would go on to take the server into an era known as the Civil War, aka the present. At the moment Borat's breakaway server is doing better and he assumes Pylium is dead in the water. Shiite's server would eventually be shut down on it's own accord after Borat raided it. Him and his players would have no server until the reunion two months later.

Reign of DeathCow
Soon after this, DeathCow would be elected as owner of the server. Under his overview, many new reforms would be added, including permanently suspending elections due to his immense popularity, the server rulebook, the PTRMC YouTube Channel, and the abolishment of the Congress to establish a permanent staff team. During this time period, PTR MC experienced rapid growth in player counts due in part to DeathCow's advertising across the internet.

He has a renown hate for Sungross, an Admin, for drawing Among Us pornography in voice chat.

Reforms of Season 9
After growing tired of seeing many people's buildings and progress be wiped every time player activity died down and calls for a new season were heeded, Sungross believed that the server required major reform. After discussion with DeathCow, sungross would eventually propose the following plan to be followed by Season 9 and onwards:


 * 1) Map resets will no longer occur every time a new season is made.
 * 2) Every time a new season is made, player inventories and balances will be wiped, as well as the Nations and Towns, though buildings will be kept intact.
 * 3) Each season will be a new time period or "focus" for the server. For Season 9, this theme is "Ancient Era". Every new season, players are encouraged to found new nations in new places to fit this theme.

Fall of PTR MC
During Season 9 of PTR MC, a few events would take place that would ultimately lead to the destruction of the server, and splitting of the community into two halves.

Season 9 was the largest and one of the longest seasons to take place in the server, and consequently, held the largest player war to take place in PTR MC. During the last few days of the Season, the server was embroiled in the Second Great War of Season 9, and had reverted to violence in chaos not just in the server, but also in the Discord server. This chaos would ultimately result in Deathcow, the owner at the time, allegedly abusing his admin powers to gain an advantage over one of the other players in the server, SamuelFreeman69. This admin abuse was immediately called out by the players of SamuelFreeman’s nation in the server, including most of his IRL friends and, most notably, Shiite, who had up until then been mostly passive about the management of the server despite footing the bill for the server’s maintenance.

This would result in Shiite deciding to hold a direct vote on the Discord server calling for Deathcow’s impeachment from server owner and demanding he step down from the discord server. After refusing to step down, he was eventually talked down by sungross, who believed that the server would remain intact after Deathcow’s deposition despite Shiite’s ambitions.

Unfortunately, the removal of Deathcow was not a singular event. Immediately after he stepped down, Shiite removed most of/all the original staff team, including sungross, and replaced it with his closest discord friends.

Enraged, Deathcow created his own separate server funded by his parents, who were angry at SamuelFreeman’s parents for berating Deathcow for cheating inside the server. After realizing the existence of the second server, Shiite’s server banned the entire old staff team and Deathcow off of the discord and the Minecraft server. The drama had leaked into the real world, and was turning the entire incident incredibly toxic, splitting the community into two halves: one under the original server led by Shiite, and one under Deathcow’s newer server which he named “War & Peace MC”.

Aftermath of the Civil War
With the community solidly divided, they slowly grew apart. PTR MC under shiite quickly lost activity and died in more or less a month. War & peace, despite its ambitions, would also die relatively quickly afterwards, lasting only a couple weeks more at most.

The two sides would refuse to even speak with each other, and would often refuse to even acknowledge each other’s existence. There were a few members of both communities who acted as “neutral” observers, but often ran spying missions for either side, informing each other about the status of the other.

The two sides were incredibly petty and refused to come together, despite multiple attempts by sungross and others.

Resurrection of PTR MC
Several months after the incident in March of 2021, sungross convinced DeathCow to rebrand the War and Peace server to “PTR MC”, deeming the original server either dead or deleted. Seeing that the time was now, Deathcow agreed to revive the community and soon opened the server to the public, even unbanning some of the Shiite server members and inviting them to the community.

The olive branch had been extended, and Shiite accepted it. Sungross DM’d Shiite about discussing the future of the community and the two servers, and Shiite agreed to come to the negotiation table. After several hours of negotiations, Shiite, Deathcow, and sungross came to an agreement regarding the server, which sungross called “the Triumvirate”(larp). In this agreement, Deathcow would remain the owner of the Minecraft server, sungross would become the owner of the discord server, and Shiite would become the Head Admin of the community and would directly manage community matters.

On October 11th, 2021, the server officially declared itself to be reopening sometime in mid-late October. The community had officially come back together, with both sides setting aside their old grievances and uniting the communities of World RP, Portal to Reality, Divergences of History, MSPS, and the Voskhod Association.
