Flo

Oh, Flo, where did you go?

Brief

Flo first joined Gangcraft in [startDate] and played on the account polarparadise. For the most part he was a casual player, but did take part in a few notable events such as the Stereo Temple Incident and surviving the World Height MLG Massacre. Flo has various builds both above and below ground in the over world and underworld, with the most impressive of the bunch being the Dark Tower. Flo was an active player until [endDate] but left after switching to Linux and the Microsoft barrier of entry became too high.

Etymology

Despite the name "Flo" being more commonly used to name females, Flo is a male. FishHooks, who was a friend of Flo, came up with the name "Florida Fung" on December 19th, 2019, by combining the Florida Man meme and the fact Flo was known for playing a mushroom race in the game Rogue Lineage where he did many risky stunts.^[1] The nickname "Flo" came as a shorthand from the first three letters of the more lengthy alternative.

Builds

Dark Tower

TODO: image, coordinates, date

Rather than spending a long time gathering a bunch of materials and placing them, Flo decided it would be more efficient to create a giant lava cast and carve a base out of the natural flow of the lava. The result was a sky high tower that had a bridge of lava in the entrance. It led a spiraling staircases which curved around the tower and took you to Flo's Lair where he kept all his belongings.

Watery Grave

After the many deaths from the Stereo Temple Incident, Flo felt that the reward from the sponges was just not enough. So as a tribute to Stereo for his death and as a personal triumph, Flo decided to drain all the water out of the former Sea Temple and make it into a new base. It is very simple, containing only a few crafting benches and other utilities.

Gold Farm (unfinished)

TODO: image, coordinates, date

The original plan for this build was from the 1.18 Gold Farm by DashPum4. The farm produced over 1,000 gold blocks per hour, but was also overly ambitious requiring most notably 10,064 magma blocks and 730 obsidian which would have made it the largest farm on the server. It ended up not being finished due to the massive amount of resources the project demanded.
