I bought the game a few months after my friend, called Fizzgig on Blockland, started begging me to. My first server I really got interested in was an apocalypse WIP map; looking back, they had moderate build skills, but much better than what I was doing. I began trying to build like them, but was a complete failure. After begging them to let me help to an extent of too much, they began to ignore me, so I began making my own. It was terrible (again looking back; at the time I thought it was a success).
Later on, I was playing a Snipers VS Runners server with Fizzgig. We got into an argument over something small; I can't really remember what it was. It finished with him ending the skype call, both of us were really angry at one other. We kept on having arguments whenever we talked to one another, and one day on an SMM, he kept saying my real name. I told him to stop, and he got so mad to where he basically said 'F*ck you, I don't want to be friends with you anymore'. Even if it's only been a year or two since this happened, I've changed since then to not be so annoying. Regardless, it sucked. We've been sort of friends since about two months ago.
My build style sort of kept the same for a long time, and that held me back from making my Apocalypse map; I'd always wanted to make a Zombie Apocalypse, and even more so after Sord213's Zombie Apocalypse came out, my favorite server ever. It shut down because something happened to his hard drive; I still have his map, but nobody knows the add-ons he used, so it just sits in my folder (I saved the map out of boredom).
I tried to make other servers, like some sort of Cave RPG where people lived in caves after WW3 started (never got finished). I tried to make a Hide and Seek creepbear deathmatch (never got finished). I have a habit of starting projects and only getting them halfway done before I get bored of Blockland for a few months, and by the time I come back, I just go "Screw it, I'll start a new one." Usually, it's because I change the way I build a little bit, or figure the map I was working on had a really big fundamental flaw, like it had bad landscaping or looked too much like another map someone else made.
About a month ago, I changed how I built; my builds look very nice, with double walls, floors, ceilings; and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I've begun working on another Zombie Apocalypse that probably won't ever get finished, but looks a lot different from other maps I've started on. This one has a much better building style, platescape-style landscape, and I have more people to help me.
