The Visionary Empire [VISN]

VISN is a PirateCraft crew dedicated to server-wide peace, and hopes to someday keep the server peaceful till the end of its days.

History

Founding

The founding of VISN was not direct; instead, the Visionary ideals have been cultivated over time, over many different crews, all of which are in such a jumble, none of which lasting very long, that there is no way to separate what happened. However, Visionary and inspirational movement leader, PIPPIP5789, appeared inside of the server on May 1st, 2016. After a 2 year leave of nothing, the crew VISN emerged on September 21, 2019, with PIPPIP5789 coming back after supposed retirement from the server. This marks the beginning of the Snashensgazle Era.

Snashensgazle Era

The Snashensgazle Era marks the beginning of a dedicated movement towards a dedicated government. This beginning of this era is marked with the arrival of VISN’s first official member, Snashensgazle. Briefly after joining the crew, both he and PIPPIP5789 constructed the original Visitopia, and recruited new members daily. However, this era did not last long, as soon Snashensgazle left the server, leaving PIPPIP5789 as the sole leader of the group. Soon after, VISN was reborn inside of the Wanderers Era

Wanderers Era

The Wanderers Era started when ChickenNoodYT joining, marking the beginning of both a new era, as well as the start of a feasible government. Briefly after joining, two other notable players joined: Koehe and Beastmode9000. These now four players dedicated themselves to bettering the server, and soon changes were made apparent. All, however, were not pleased. After a small boon in VISN population, the 4 leaders decided to build a port, to create houses as well as establish a shipyard for future trading voyages. Construction stopped when a player known as Cappur attacked the port, demanding not only that work stop, but that VISN move their crew and base. After initial refusal, more players were attacked, including a player named MeadowYT, who alongside the VISN leaders tried to stand up for the crew. The attempts to stop the attacks were thwarted, and the players moved soon after to a new zone. MeadowYT was also promoted to leader after his valiant attempts to stop Cappur's onslaught.

Less than a week after moving, the crew ROME began attacking The Visionary's new home, Port Meadow. This led to counterattacks, and a few skirmishes during the BE vs ROME war, including a direct assault against ROME's capital. After the war was disbanded, VISN began wandering around the server, never staying in one place too long, slowly collecting resources and players after the taxing war against ROME, and the destruction of Port Meadow. Eventually, The Visionaries moved back to their original capital, Visitopia, and soon began construction on a new, more defensible capital. The new Visitopia would be the first capital to be recognized for VISN, and this marks the beginning of the Visionary Era

Visionary Era

The Visionary Crew Era marks one of the greatest periods of growth for The Visionary crew. After the construction of Visitopia, PIPPIP5789 began creating peace treaties between multiple crews, most notably TRI and GUCS. GUCS came to VISN's aid when Cappur began to siege the new Visitopia, and eventually helped VISN repel the attack, while TRI continually fought Cappur when he became too aggressive. After Cappur lost interest in The Visionaries, VISN began collecting new members, and wouldn't stop growing on into the Visionary Empire, eventually stopping on 11/4/19 when the maximum of 100 players was reached in the crew. During this period of growth, VISN allied many other crews, and eventually helped to form the Eastern Alliance, otherwise known as the EA. Soon, peace was established, and Port Amax opened, thanks to the valiant efforts of VISN's newest leader and owner of the port, AielManX. However, not all was good news. The crew, although large, began to suffer from players going inactive, including Beastmode9000, Koehe, and MeadowYT. The loss of so many leaders began to shift power through the crew, and many other loyal players began falling away. Eventually, only PIPPIP5789, AielManX, and ChickenNoodYT remained active, with nearly the entire crew going dark. Soon, a desperate power move was needed in an attempt to reinstate the crew to its former glory, and PIPPIP5789 decided to take matters into his own hands.

Visionary Empire

The Visionary Empire Era was born from the dying ashes of the Visionary Crew Era, thanks to the efforts of PIPPIP5789. After seeing so many of his fellow crewmates going inactive, including the leaders he had depended on for so long, PIPPIP5789 decided to write a law, and began to reform the crew into an empire, Visitopia being the capital.
