Early Days
Scampi_ Joined MCO after getting sucked deep into a vortex of Minecraft videos, and stumbling across a video documenting the server after a years-long hiatus from MP. He wasn't sure if and for how long he'd stay after he joined, but after being given a spawner, a written book, and diamond starting kit moments after arriving, he figured he'd found something special.
His next course of action was to pour over the wiki, overhead map, rule list, and every official piece of news he could find. How interesting this place was, and how delightfully well-documented! While he never settled on an idea of what to do with himself until much later, he did have one immediate goal; build a storage unit in a remote, hidden location to house the rapidly-expanding mass of items he was accumulating.
Scampi_ knew only theft and looting, avoiding contact with other players and taking every single item that wasn't nailed down. He became intimately familiar with the transport infrastructure of Freedonia, using it to plot the most efficient route from place-to-place. In his travels, Scampi_ saw many of the great attractions, buildings, and cities of the land, and realised it would be madness to try and learn it all.
As his stockpile of resources swelled, Scampi_ decided he needed to do something with it. His first plans were for a deathtrap-maze-dungeon near spawn, but that eventually fizzled out when it became clear the area could get wiped partway through building by both griefers and local land resets. While the land-resets never came, Scampi_ had already thought of a better idea.
NECROPOLIS
NECROPOLIS was first born out of a need to 'spend' the overflowing chest-fulls of tools, resources, and building supplies packed into a woollen room at the bottom of the ocean. But as the build progressed, Scampi_ got into his stride and started developing all manner of interesting ideas to pack into the circular area he was clearing out. His end goal was to produce a highly unique town where everything inside could be entertaining, mysterious, and even dangerous. The successful realisation of this idea is now for visitors to judge.
The Vaults of Zin
Around the same time he decided to build a town, Scampi_ also decided he absolutely had to build a museum. A by-product of his earlier 'harvesting runs', where he stole with zero discrimination, Scampi_ had inadvertently collected a decent number of promotional artefacts, player heads, glitched items and blocks, and written books. After seeing the Freerdonia Museum, it was decided that another glorious display needed to be built. Scampi_ has acquired a sponge and all is good in the world.
The Present
After firmly establishing and fortifying himself with his base of operations, Scampi_ expanded his influence gradually by trading with and befriending other players, taking on other build projects either as commissions or maintenance of existing builds, learning about the servers history by collecting and studying his museum artefacts, and trying to improve the wiki.
Sometime around when Scampi_ was promoted to Moderator, he found less and less time to go exploring and looting like he used to, and instead settled down into his myriad of ongoing build projects. That combined with puzzling through Password Chest Hunts with Aziroeth, and performing regular mod duties, now occupies 99% of his time in Freedonia. Outside of the game, he still continues to perform research and help with documenting history on and improving this wiki.
