I don't know exactly when or during what version I joined Blockland (maybe 7 or 8?), but my ID is 5821 if anyone wants to pin-point when I joined.
The very first thing I did was join a server. I ended up joining Iban's Trench CTF. It was very small and had 3 main ways to the other team's flag. Left and right, then a wooden bridge in the middle with lava under it. Ephi's Shotgun, Kaje's Sniper Rifle and the default gun (I still use these weapons regularly). I remember I was digging a massive tunnel to the other base, but he ended up resetting the map.
The very first thing I built was a small 16by16 house (it actually wasn't all red, but it was very boxy). This would later become a public city build (it was terrible).
I remember seeing players like Iban and Bushido regularly.
I don't remember my first events because I don't think they existed when I first joined (holy crap that's a long time ago).
