History

2020 & 21

Joining the server in November 2020, for the initial purposes of playing alongside TheSecondLord for only one evening, he initially spent his first few months irregularly joining the server to participate in random antics. Such as placing himself on auction in 2021.

2022

Beginning in February 2022, Matt would be invited to help with Rotherhythe (then known as Brasshelm) Keep, which is where he would begin to play more actively.

Throughout 2022 he has also participated in numerous events, notably the Third Ultravanilla Olympics and the Olympic All-Stars events.

He has also developed multiple projects focused on community co-operation, aswell as a few random "silly-goofy" projects.

2023

On January 27th, at the end of the Voyager world tour, Mattesco was granted the role of Voyager after 7 weeks travelling 2 million blocks. He would then commit himself to preserving the history of both his and Wind's attempts for the future.

In February Mattesco became the leader of the OPC. Standing as the organisations founder and main organiser.

In April he aided in organising the 4th Olympic Games and hosted the Opening and closing Ceremonies to the Games.

In spring 2023 Mattesco won 3 consecutive Build and Screenshot competitions.

In Summer 2023 he had hosted the Rotherhythe Summer Showdown events

In Autumn 2023 he was the principle host of the Duolympics

In December 2023 he led the 2023 Christmas Festival of Rotherhythe and amassed £635 of funding in UV's first charity fundraising effort.

2024

In the final days of 2023, Mattesco had announced intentions to cease all activities on UV in January 2024, settling on a final log out date of January 27th with no guarantees on the possibility of return.

Having sold off most assets and passing on control of businesses and creating UV's first peaceful power transfer when OPC Leadership was passed on - Rotherhythe's Prince Role was passed to Mills and Hanaryheatwave

On January 27th 2024 Mattesco logged out for the last time. and to date, that is the end.

Summary

Beginning with his invite in February 2022 to the Rotherhythe project, the development of it drastically changed, focusing more on becoming an actual settlement than a base. It is through this that it gained both it's USUV Membership and recognition as a state on UltraVanilla.

More information on it's history can be found over in the Rotherhythe article collection.

Serverwide Builds

Residencies:

The Matt's world tour residencies have their own article.

These are a collection of homes built on UV in multiple towns, for the purpose of learning new styles and creating links with other players. The article contains information on each home, and also further details on the project at large.

Community Projects:

The map of the British Isles

United Kingdom Free-Build Zone

The United Kingdom Free Build zone is a large small scale replica of the British isles. The islands are planted with signs to mark the geographical locations of towns and cities in the region, and are all open to player builds. This build was created in one day, and is big enough to be viewed from dynmap at a far range.

Bass Pro Ship @ The Fleet

The Bass Pro Ship @ The Fleet is a large ship constructed as part of the November 2022 Airship building event at the Outpost.

It's theme was inspired by Bass Pro Shops, which centre around a themed space decorated to resemble natural spaces. The original purpose was for it to be the flagship store for Bass Pro Shops, however due to the Outpost's zoning rules, this wasn't allowed. The theme stuck however, and the ship was fitted with a unique swampland deck, with a ravine being located within it's hull. The blimp carrying the vessel is a large mouth bass, resembling the one from the Bass Pro Shops logo, she has been nicknamed "Elizabass." This vessel is one of the most eye-catching and recognisable outpost builds, despite it's hasty construction on the night of October 23rd.

The Outpost Lounge

The Outpost Lounge

The Outpost Lounge is a museum & bar located beneath the Outpost Auction house. It's a build designed to commemorate the various towns of the outpost region for the area's first anniversary, featuring each towns banner, name, and map art along with info booklets.

The bar contains multiple outpost-related drinks, and a map of the central warp hub. Above are signs placed by players who found the area before construction began. These were kept for sentimental purposes.

Rotherhythe Christmas Festival

Hosted throughout December 2022, The Rotherhythe Christmas Festival saw players from all across UV come together for a community market, multiple events, and games. The event is generally regarded as a total success. Seeing 90% of available plots used, an overall attendance rate of 46 players, and most community market builds seeing success.

The Christmas Festival is due to be redone as an annual event, and is regarded by Mattesco as "A complete success that lived up to more than even the highest of expactations, and delivered more dreams than even the best dreamt by the people involved"

This event also culminated in the arrival of Santa Claus on the night of Christmas Eve. Where he would play Ice Hockey against Jimbonator.

The Christmas Festival returned in 2023 as a Charity fundraiser for Great Ormond Street Hospital, raising £635 in donations via the Diamonds to Charity program he had organised to coincide with the festival. The 2023 Festival is considered to be his ultimate legacy event.

EGRK Expressway

The EGRK Expressway is an outpost wide overworld transportation system intended to deliver high speed overworld links between multiple outpost towns. Originally envisioned as a link for Rotherhythe Keep and Evergreen, the network has found itself at the heart of the Outpost Community project, and has thusly grown to include the vast majority of major outpost towns and locations, including the hub itself.

Voyager II Bell tour

As part of Voyager II, Mattesco left behind 20+ bells across the server, accepted and displayed by all the towns en route. These bells are discussed in further detail on the Voyager page

The Final Voyage

The Final Voyage acted as Mattesco's final event, signalling the very end of all activity on UV. This was a long horse journey from Steambolt to Rotherhythe to open the Rotherhythe World Museum.
