By Rev.11 he was appointed a mayor of Port 80 and became involved in supplying and assisting public works such as roads and services.

He was also the successor of Port 80's Rev.9 Drunk'n Pumpkin Bar & Pub, running the building in Rev.10 and Rev.11, serving food & drinks to tourists.

The Journal of Saberfysh Port 80 Citizen

-Nov 12 2012-

After spending the first 3 days wandering at the base camps of the main cities flooded with people and chests of raw materials, I have decided to settle down at Port 80 after speaking to the mayor, Loganran. It all started with me wandering around spawn as people came and went, frantically building dirt forts and finding food, basically minding their own business in the starting days of the world. While most leaders were missing or didn't care about me, Logan was this quiet mayor standing on top of a partially built city hall and greeted me personally. I didn't know much about the previous world, but he and his delegates PopeAdam and MisterKrabs were probably the most decent people I had met up to that point. They were friendly, peaceful, and demonstrated intelligence that was hard to find during my initial wanderings on PVE rev10. Up to that point I had only heard about how political the big cities were with each other, especially Brom. Port 80 was the peaceful small town by the ocean free from all the chaos, where everybody knew each other and there was a sense of deep friendship amongst the folk coming from the previous world, PVE rev9.

Being happy with the location and the people, I asked Logan if I could settle here and make a Seaside Bar&Pub near the hill facing the shore. He approved. As soon as I made a plot, random kiddies circled around me and set me on fire. I was like "WTF" until Logan came over and explained that in PVE9 they had a bar called the 'Drunkin Pumpkin' and that people had excited yet high expectations for the building. I was a bit nervous, but had an idea they'd be proud of.

The next morning after finishing the exterior of the pub, I heard that Seneca and some others had found the End Portal and had slain the Ender Dragon. Talk about fast... and here I was still farming bricks, lol. It was at this time unfortunately that Port 80's beaches were being griefed and looted. Most people had no idea how much dirt/cobble/sand I went digging for just to keep the city stocked and repaired. The sand theft got so bad we put in some grief modreq and I ended up putting sand into a dedicated box just for mayor Loganran so he can finish building his house. But that wasn't all. Denbert, Hans, and pom32456 all got robbed the following week, leading to some tough times and tighter vigilance. I just kept digging, knowing that everybody needed it as much as I did. I even said to thrawn21 (admin) that it's kinda sad how people will steal SAND and DIRT. Happens every rev, she said.

Despite that I eventually finished the interior of the Bar & Pub, and opened up for business. Everybody loved it, from residents to travelers. The guy handling Port 80's farms, that_fish_dude, helped me with finding music discs and installed my very first food dispensers. We sat there at the bar, with Port 80 Graggy Ice, Loganran Honey Mead, Coldstream Winter Lager, and Krabs' Red Ale all on tap in 4 different colours, drinking... bottled water. We laughed and said that one day we'll get a brewing stand and sell people REAL drinks. And so we will, my friend. We will.

-Dec 15 2012-

We're about a month into the rev now. Things are finally starting to settle down. Most of the major cities have laid down nether rail lines and local lines to small villages, although some here at Port 80 aren't done yet. This place is just like a feel-good MMORPG. You don't trade with villagers, you trade with people, with anything, for anything. You can trade a saddle for diamonds, even. Every act of kindness begets kindness in return. An admin once said to us that not only are we all "carebears" compared to the other servers, we're at times even more creative than some people on the creative server! Some of the veterans and mods had built these absolutely genius contraptions to grind ender pearls, blazes, and iron golems, that it blows my mind away how they even figured out a design for these things.

I also forgot to mention my encounter with PubliusCanis, the guy who made that epic skull in the desert and got it posted famously on Reddit a few months back. According to him it took roughly 138,000 cobbles to make it, which is close to 39 double chests full of rock. Respect, bro. Respect. He was a cobble-skinned man, dressed in diamond armor and elicited tributes in the form of people barfing up cobbles when they saw him. He is the Chuck Norris of cobble. No joke.This time of course he decided on building the Statue of Liberty off the shores of Port 80, which I felt was a great honor to behold. He eventually became a Port 80 citizen, making the town about 35-40 people.

One of the kids I met on Day 1 named xxDriztenxx apparently made it big. He found a mycelium island, the rarest biome, 800 blocks away from spawn. He has now claimed the entire island, naming it Kanada. I never thought he would get that far.

Back at Port 80, work was underway on building a villager breeder and a spleef arena, so we can dig each other out. I kept promising AleaMinerva that I would help her mine, but when MisterKrabs said we were going to have a QUADRUPLE wither arena battle on saturday, I spent most of that time brewing health potions in preparation.

The night before, the admins held a hunting contest at spawn, basically a multi-stage obstacle course to capture the fictional villain Dr.Sign, in exchange for a glowstone prize. Rev7 had a similar thing called the 5K. I died over 40 times before giving up. It was worth a try; glowstone was rare because the big cities took most of it. Wellspring's mayor, Ozomahtlii, won after 6 hours.

We gathered later that day, loaded with potions and weapons to fight the Wither boss in our battle arena. Our combined strength crushed the Wither in less than a minute, and the Nether Star we looted became Port 80's Town Hall Beacon.

Around this period, Hans also moved away from Port 80, to travel the world and write books. With the Town Beacon in place, I turn my eye to finding the rest of the music discs. Even now as I write, I'm chilling on the 2nd floor of the pub listening to the latest addition to the jukebox. "far."

Sometimes we spend so much time building and scurrying that we forget to just relax and enjoy the world. Moments like these are priceless. Entertaining and inspiring visitors with food and drink is a very rewarding experience. Some of them even move in. That's how I know our work isn't done. The city can still expand. For now, we celebrate defeating the Wither, and soon we'll have an Xmas party. Better start wrapping presents under our Xmas tree.

--Jan 20 2013--

Happy New Year, everybody! We all survived the Mayan apocalypse of Dec 21 2012. On the other hand though, we're 2 months into the rev and for a while things really slowed down during the holidays as everybody vanished due to Xmas. With Logan off and Pope left in charge for the week, I farmed their Xmas gifts and then built the Port 80 Lighthouse. 48 hours later, Hafget from across the shore responded by turning his fort into a tower as well. Derp!

I gave my cache of iron blocks to PopeAdam, my gold blocks to Loganran, and diamond armor for Krabs. I also gave Fire Resistance Potions which provides them with lava immunity for their recent nether trips. I then made a quick trip to visit Hans' house in Brom and checked out Pico's jumbo Xmas tree after their party ended. By the time I came back the next day, the Port 80 Xmas tree was taken down.

That wasn't the only thing taken down tho. Slide23 (mod) had a tough xmas; his IRL house burned down. His family survived, but he lost everything else. We fixed his golem grinder and gave him all our support as a community.

After lots of downtime, Port 80 was suddenly vibrant again for the new year. I decorated Logan's mansion, zifnab began building our boat, and the gold was used to make rails for the new 4v4 Spleef Arena. Around this time some Coldstream district residents began taking notice of the arena in their neighbourhood, eventually becoming Port 80 citizens. In a very short time we began seeing new faces. Syphon_fire, freezeman, smellykid50 and Miogre began to follow SuToLoTuS into the city centre, hanging out with us and our newly formed Spleef team in earnest. SuToLoTuS had spent the better part of Xmas building the now famous Port 80 National Bank, a looming tower adorned with Lapis, Gold, and Glowstone, topped off with a piston door made of diamond blocks. The man is rich; very rich. If you're in Port 80, it's next to the train station. At one point the there were so many noobs from spawn that I had at least 8 of them following me on a city tour. In 3 days, they ate all my food. 9 stacks of steak, potatoes, carrots, and half a chest of cookies. Noobs are hungry ppl. Never forget.

During this time I had walked into a 12-year-old kid named Black_magic12345 who was homeless and came to my pub for food. He was so delighted to have found Port 80 that he wasted no time settling down... by building a netherrack derp shack on our shore. I managed to find him, clean up the mess, and moved him into Port 80 tower, 5th floor. Turns out he was new to the server, and he like many others were joining for the 1st time asking for direction and food just like in the old days. Another newcomer named Miogre borrowed some of my wood and made a cottage far out east before he became a resident and moved in to the tower as well. Krabs was 1F, Syphon_Fire was 2F, I was 3F, Miogre was 4F, and Black_magic was 5F. With all the new residents moving into the tower, I strove to get it furnished, designing the lobby, gift shop, and installing mailboxes for everybody to use, before building the underground restaurant. Logan later gave me a sponge for display :D

Admittedly I was feeling lazy after working on the tower for so long that I went traveling the world for a bit. After visiting Ra, Andromeda, Vinhaven, Port Aperture, Seneca, Walla-Walla and Necropolis, I couldn't write much; I only took pics. It was when I walked into Tsitrin and Kalmos that things got more interesting. Tsitrin was home to the Ice Maker 3000, and as long as you had a silk touch pick, you can haul back ice as a souvenir. The houses there were very unique, just like in Port 80. Kalmos was a well fortified town known for its 4 cardinal town themes, the fabled combination lock Kalmos Vault Heist contest, and the mayor, Asterix1806. Asterix is a smart man and an attentive historian. People joke, calling him Papa Asterix.

The highlight of my trip tho was at Pearl Islands. Archzinno, a very talented mayor, built the sky city in 2 weeks and challenged Socarch26 to a pro spleefing match. I did 2v2 with them after and it was the most fun I ever had even tho I was 100% noob.

It turns out spleefing matches between cities is the big ticket as the rev draws to a close. It's a sign of a city's maturity and success, where there is room for culture and sport. Kisa_Gitana even made a mini putt-putt golf course at Pearl Islands. Seeing a third of the server population come to Port 80 to spectate a spleef match is what makes me proud of my city. PopeAdam said that it had very humble beginnings in Rev8 & Rev9, but Rev10 is where we truly became a city. I'm glad I was part of it. After the server upgrade to 1.4.7 added fireworks, every city had been firing up the night sky in celebration, causing massive gunpowder & dye shortages. Here at Port 80 we made a large party hall underneath the pub's floorboards, complete with confetti and disco ball. While new towns like Baktun, South Road, Pandora and Atlantis are still being made, we're ready for our end-of-rev party to say goodbye to the world we created, awaiting its next rebirth.

Let Rev10 be the rev where Port 80 became a successful, legitimate city, full of fond memories and a bright future ahead of us. See you all in Rev 11!
