The Toast Army

The Toast Army was an early faction created on the 1.8 map in 2015.

Origins
In early 2015, a player called ToasterCrafter started a mine a few hundred blocks from spawn. Several players began to help and the mine turned into a base for the newly formed faction. Over the next few weeks over 25 active players had joined the faction and were clearing out underground tunnels, pathways and farms. One member jokingly referred to the group as the "toast army" on a sign over the main tunnel, and the name stuck. As the faction grew, the player FriedDomo often stopped in and acted as an ally, giving away enchanted diamond armor, and weapons, further promoting more players to join. despite the overall strength and presence on the server, their bases remained underground and conflicts were usually uncommon. By around 5 weeks, most members had full sets of diamond armor and weapons.

Battle and Faction Demise.
Around 6 weeks after the faction started, the base was found by a player who had hacked weapons and flying abilities. the base was attacked with loads TNT, and the hacker hovered around killing faction members with a lightning axe. The carnage prompted faction ally, FriedDomo to attack the hacker but before the fight could end, the hacker was permanently banned by an admin.

Aftermath
By the end the attack the base had completely destroyed and thus, the faction was disbanded. Most players went separate ways, though ToasterCrafter joined a small base with some former members to try and restock on lost resources.
