Hello Everyone, I thought I would make an official Introduction on the introduction forum.

I’m GodsDead, Real names Tom. I have been playing on PirateCraft since 2012 and Live in England.

I created PirateCraft with @supergl back in 2012 as a means for us to mess around in minecraft together, we originally hosted the PirateCraft server on 2 separate ancient desktop machines, we had one each and alternated hosting the server for when we wanted to play together, we experimented with many crazy plugins back in the day, There’s one plugin I can still remember using back then that allowed you to create radio towers and devices to pick up the radio signal, so you could leave a message to be broadcast around a proximity area of the map by picking it up on a crafted device.

I get asked a lot where my username originated, I have had the alias GodsDead for about 12 years, I created it when I was about 15/16; I was really into Nine Inch nails at the time, and fell in love with a track called Heresy, I coined the name GodsDead from its lyrics which went:

Your god is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I’ll see you there

I don’t listen to NIN any more, but the name stuck, when it came around to creating a minecraft account, I just went default and picked my online alias.

I’ve always been a fan of creating community’s, this isn’t my first gaming community, I used to run a Counter Strike Source server years ago, and before that I have hosted a few bespoke forums that were active, I still play Counter strike from time to time and even with 10+ years playing I still suck!

I love creating things, and a project like PirateCraft keeps me constantly busy, website design and development, system Ops, graphic design, video editing, script writing, The main reason I love running PirateCraft is the community, seeing other people enjoy things you have built is amazing to me, every time I see a large player count I get exited, even after all these years!

I work full time and run PirateCraft as a hobby in my spare time around other hobbies, Im a massive fan of weight lifting, snowboarding and music. I’m listening to music all day every day from when I wake up until I sleep!

Favorite proper drinks are Rum and Ale.

Why did I create a Pirate themed minecraft server? Because Pirates are awesome. Yo ho ho bitches!

Whats my favorite gif of all time? Literally impossible to choose 1, but I absolutely love this one, gets me every time.
