==Summary== | |||
He is most known for being the server's head-of-staff for the most part of 3 years (including being [[Godsdead]]'s secretary), his ship building, hosting the server ship battles and events, plugin work, and role in server development. He is the founder of the [[Xenon Empire]], [[The Xanthian Order]], and later [[Xenia]], and played a key role in creating [[RoP]]. | He is most known for being the server's head-of-staff for the most part of 3 years (including being [[Godsdead]]'s secretary), his ship building, hosting the server ship battles and events, plugin work, and role in server development.

An avid builder, some of his most known structures are the [[Port of Xenia]]; one of the largest ports on the server, the [[Grand Ballroom]]; host of the Royal Elven Ball, and the [[Xenon Tower]]; one of the tallest towers on the server (was demolished in January 2018). He also owns one of the largest and most accurate ship fleets on the server, being based off French 1780s designs. He popularised the 'salad' and 'Puffi' meme within PMC in 2019 and 2020 respectively. As of May 2021 he is the richest player in PMC history with a worth of $1,802,000. | An avid builder, some of his most known structures are the [[Port of Xenia]]; one of the largest ports on the server, the [[Grand Ballroom]]; host of the Royal Elven Ball, and the [[Xenon Tower]]; one of the tallest towers on the server (was demolished in January 2018).

Xeron has been very active in server developing, contributing to both plugin and config work as well as community and staff team management over 3 years. He became staff to improve the server and push for changes and development. As a result, the server is quite different and in a better position [citation needed] than when he started as staff in 2017. | Xeron has been very active in server developing, contributing to both plugin and config work as well as community and staff team management over 3 years.

He was considered lenient in his moderation in stark contrast to the 'no-bullshit' moderation style used pre-2017, but emphasized communication and transparency, and was generally regarded as a decent staff member [citation needed ;-;]. | ||
He was a member of the original 'secret' build team in 2016, being enlisted by [[Chailey]] in June 2016 for his ships. He was formally promoted to housewright (build leader) in Jan 2017, commodore (mod) in May 2017, and admin in August 2017. During his time as admin he largely organized and ran the staff team and dictated its moderation style and members from 2018 onwards. | He was a member of the original 'secret' build team in 2016, being enlisted by [[Chailey]] in June 2016 for his ships.

== Resignation == | ==Resignation== | ||
After a period of inactivity and dis-interest in late 2020, Xeron took a 3-month break. He briefly returned to finish outstanding plugin projects, including git templates (which are a huge help to all future pmc devs!) in an uneasy anticipation of a permanent departure. | |||
In March 2021 he returned to PMC after a period of self-reflection of 4 years of server work, realizing he missed the community and PirateCraft could still use his help. His ideas and issues were discussed but unfortunately no common ground was found. Xeron saw no other alternative than to resign. | |||
As of May 2021 Xeron retains his in-game rank however, he no longer plays a role in any moderation or development. | |||
Xeron will always be a part of PirateCraft history, his contributions are a reminder of his work and dedication. | |||
