Lava Springs

Lava Springs was a moderately sized city located north-east of Al Gothein. The town is split into two sections, Dead Springs and New Springs. It is run by a group of members known as the council, who can create and remove laws based on democratic vote.

Regulations
Building regulations were put in-place due to a creation of laws during Rob's stay in power, and as such, connections to Dead Springs via non-official means were banned, along with nether portals, apart from the official "Nether Station." The town began building parks in Dead Springs in an effort to revive it.

History
Lava Springs was founded on the site on-top of a project called Megacity, dubbed "Megashitty" by players, since it was a completely flat site with what the server usually considered bad architecture. The idea was to create a single unified town where all players would live. The town did receive many residents as a result of mass-advertising by Plasmagamer, but the creation of bigger, better settlements left residents moving away from Megacity quicker then expected.

Plasma left soon after, and as a result, the remaining residents, began construction of a new city, directly ontop of the old one. To do this, dirt was placed flatly on-top of the old city, leaving a new site for more construction and presumably better looking buildings. Rob54362 created a council which would dictate the cities new building regulations and laws, however with him the power to veto any law change, effectively making him the un-official administrator of Lava Springs.

One day due to an issue with another player, Rob was mistakenly banned and all his block-changes reverted, destroying most of the city. When he was un-banned he allegedly, according to other players, went "power mad." Realizing his mistakes, he gave veto power to MrJerrai and left the settlement.

MrJerrai was advocated of power not soon after, and Lava Springs was left only with a council to control it.

Power redirection to council
When Lava Springs was created, three people were there to help in its new construction. Eventually, after the creation of the council, lead to disagreements over who was the true leader of the settlement after Rob took power. The council decided that there shouldn't be a "Supreme ruler", as dubbed by Rob, and MrJerrai agreed to step down, as long as he could remain in the council.

Events of 16th-18th of May 2011
On the 16th of May, Hedgehog, whilst living in Robs' apartment block, unknowingly broke the rules set in place that there were to be no unauthorized structural changes. Later that day, Rob removed the changes from his apartment of Lava Springs. Hedgehog unaware of these rules,complained on the thread about his house being griefed. An administrator did not know who Rob was, and banned him the following day, resulting in much of Lava Springs to be destroyed. Rob was unbanned soon after, however his blocks placed could not be reverted to their original positions.

The city was split into two, calling the old section "Dead Springs," and the new section "New Springs." The old section was mostly constructed by rob, meaning many blocks were missing. Reconstruction efforts were mostly focused on New Springs, however. The two sections were eventually reconnected and the town returned to normal, however Dead Springs was still mostly destroyed.

The repairs were never made to Dead Springs since Rob left the city soon after creating many different laws, which some considered unfair, in an attempt to make this not happen again. Many complains, and Rob left the city, leaving MrJerrai in power.
