AnCaps is a group founded by player Kapibar1, GameIron1112 and Asoul69 in early June 2020 it is known for notable projects such as the 500 spawn trench and obsidian logo.

History

Early Days

Kapibar1 and GameIron1112 had just started playing on Oldfag at the start of May 2020. They met in the end island and where obviously scared of each other at first but they started chatting in game and soon became allies. They decided it would be a good idea to set off for the millions and create their base, and so they did. But only after one week the base was accidentally found and the two left the place. They realized that they needed obsidian in order to create a goldfarm and one of the best ways to collect obsidian was through trading. Kapibar1 was on the lookout for players willing to exchange obsidian for elytra's and saw a reddit post from a player asking to trade just that. He set up the trade and the two met on the nether highway. The trade was between Kapibar1 and Asoul69. Asoul69 set off with his brand new elytra back to his small newfag base and continued his afk fishing for a couple of days before receiving a discord message from Kapibar1 asking him to join him and GameIron1112 and create a new base. Asoul69 accepted. The three setoff for the new location. Building soon began and the base became operational with a full double layer goldfarm. The three had to come up with a name for the newly founded group and decided to call themselves AnCaps(Anarcho-Capitalists) due to the connection with anarchy Minecraft, trading and distrust in the government.

Expansion Period

At this point AnCaps base welcomed three new basemates, iYuno, THAT_GUY_DAN and Diamondduck69. Diamondduck69 joined because of his IRL friend Asoul69 while iYuno was an in game friend of GameIron1112. The two where active for a couple of weeks before going inactive never to be seen again. THAT_GUY_DAN came to base after only one voice chat conversation with Kapibar1 and GameIron1112 which basically fell in love with him and invited him to base, his contribution is mainly maparts including the original AnCap logo mapart. With a solid and functional base Kapibar1 and Asoul69 decided that they should complete a big project to help the group gain notoriety on the server. They set out to create the servers biggest mapart at the time that goes by the name NGE, Neon Genesis Evangelion comprised of 50 maps 10*5. The project took over a month and was a resounding success with the group quickly gaining recognition in the community. With this newfound fame they setout to complete a public works project and something never before attempted on Oldfag, a spawn trench. The group allied with Kekistan and used sophisticated bombers to complete a one chunk wide trench at 500 blocks from spawn. The project saw the recruiting of a new member, Sava08 and great feedback from the community. Although one side of the trench never got completed the group moved on as it seemed that Tyvia was taking over the project and even adding a lava wall. Base also saw the arrival of Achilles_Floss a newfag IRL friend of GameIron1112. A couple months went by and the group saw the recruiting of FriesAndChicken who thanks to his coding skills was able to help Kapibar1 in the creation of an obsidian bot. FriesAndChicken also started preparations for an Oldfag fight club with the help of GameIron1112. The first Fight Club event was held on Saturday the 14th of November 2020 but soon got interrupted and griefed. After that the project stalled. It was FriesAndChicken dream of becoming a pvper and that dream led to the downfall of the first AnCap base as his thirst for the most competitive hacked client led him straight into a trap. He downloaded a ratted client which caused him and Achilles_floss to get doxed and AnCap base coordinates leaked. This came as a shock but the repercussion on the group where low as the base was not being worked on and stagnant with Kapibar1 and Asoul69 also being Samaria members. The group got back together and left once again for a new location and on the way there picked up three more members RoadmanOvaKill, Wywern and recursive_tree. Their alliance with Samaria got closer as more members joined the Samaria base like Wyvern and GameIron, this was until the base's end in April 2021 by Gestimo's hands. Thanks to optimizations to the Obsidian bot done by Kapibar1 AnCaps where able to collect over 30 shulkers of obsidian in less than a week and headed to spawn to create the largest obsidian logo on the server.

Economic Domination

With the optimization of the Obsidian bot by players GameIron1112 the Ancaps collected vast quantities of obsidian which was stored in more than dozen alt accounts. The obsidian was used to complete the Ancap logo at spawn which used 30 shulkers as well as the massive Obsidian castle built at 1k 0. Designed by player Kevin3000 and built using over 90k obsidian the castle is the largest obsidian build on the server. The structure was encased in a water cube to build limit to prevent griefing using 22k ice blocks.

The group decided to put the large amounts of obsidian gathered to use once again and created a massive Obsidian arena where the second edition of Fight Club was held. The arena used nearly double the amounts of obsidian compared to the previous build this time however it was decided not to encase it in a water cube.

The Citadel's front entrance

Their next project was possibly the most ambitious on Oldfag- the End Citadel, a massive obsidian pyramid encasing the entire main End island. The entire project required more than 400 shulkers of obsidian and took a little over a week. During the project they made the End nearly inaccessible by mass TNT bombing its spawn. There was some opposition, notably from some members of the mostly forgotten "Jewbase Incursion", but by August 8th 2021, they succeeded with the project.
