In early December of 2022, ItsScientific would join RetroMC with his partner
CyberLeviathan. Later becoming infamous for his unique way of saying "thank you", his affinity for breaking pickaxes and creating chests of cobblestone en masse.

Server Life
Scientific can easily be found in his town of PickBroke. Aptly named as he constantly digs away at his hole, a passion project that he swears will be filled with trucks, excavators, and surrounded by industrious builds when finished. He rarely leaves this routine, but on occasion, he finds time to interact with the community.
His enjoyment for clearing areas has extended to other towns. These include the desert excavation projects of Ohio & NeOhio (originally known as OhioStateUniversity), the great Flattening of Kekistan, and many other player projects looking for an extra set of hands, shovel, or pick.
Rivalry of Stats
Though content minding his own, and doing what he enjoys on the server, Scientific has managed to butt heads with a few players when it comes to statistics.
Ade1ie the Diamond Citizen
Responsible for Scientific's long list of nicknames,
Ade1ie began noticing him on their own quest to become the first non-staff/donator to reach 1,000 hours played on the server. This waged for months as "Ade" would sparsely join, while Scientific was consistent with activity. Thus steadily creeping closer to their hours played, the possibility of overtaking in both players' minds, and the fear that Ade's goal could be stolen from them.
so im basically the only non-staff player who has the most hours of playtime. but there's a challenger...his name is ItsScientific...he already has 531 hours. and he only joined the server just to mine and dig. nothing else h- Ade
This tension came to a close on October 5, 2023. When
Ade1ie became the first Golden Citizen/Trusted to reach 1k hours played and become an unofficial* "Diamond Citizen". Scientific would soon follow in their footsteps, becoming the second to reach this milestone only a month after.
* On February 24, 2024, the Diamond Citizen rank was officially implemented and bestowed to both Ade & Scientific
The Mountain versus a Molehill
Dominating the statistic's leaderboards,
Orknarok_666 is #1 in Join Count, Blocks Traveled, Trust Score, Blocks Placed, Playtime, Trust Level, and, until 2024, Blocks Broken. The dedicated Admin would meet their match in 2023, when ItsScientific would start a simple-minded project, dig a hole. Later to be called his "Quarry", Scientific started digging the top dirt layer while "Ork" had over a million block lead (the first player to break over 1 million blocks). Little by little, he continued digging, and soon other players began to notice. A conversation with
CruxyMC during one of their laps around the quarry:
While not the entire reason for the project, overtaking Ork and claiming the top of the leaderboard was shown to be part of Scientific's plans. He continued digging, climbing past the other players on the leaderboard, becoming the second player to break over 1 million blocks as he took second place.
On September 28, 2023, Scientific jokingly announced his retirement when reaching the milestone of 1,234,567 blocks broken. Fellow players joined in: nuhuh just mine 11111111 more
-
Niterux. Then Ork themselves acknowledged the update, giving words of encouragement: Holy finally someone is catching up to me...2 million blocks mined when huh
. This sparked a debate in Scientific: In progress, but i don't think it's gonna be before you
. At this rate it'll be you because Orkman dosent play the game anymore,
Cruxy chimed in. A milestone which Ork had not cleared was in sight, but it wouldn't be there for long. On November 20, 2023, during a spree of looking at each other's stats, Ork realized how close Scientific was to claiming first place. In a flurry of shovels and sand, they widened the gap again, and became the first player to break over 2 million blocks on that same day. Scientific would soon follow, becoming the second to reach this milestone in the following months.
Bothered by the loss, but not discouraged, Scientific would continue expanding his project and his gain on Ork. A month would go by with both players digging. Ork, determined to hold his placement, and Scientific, determined to take it for himself. Then, early in the EST morning of January 14, 2024, whilst ironically excavating in Ork's town of Kekistan, ItsScientific would be notified by friends
SadieSadie,
CruxyMC, and
Jcheese7, that Ork had been dethroned, he had taken first place. A "yay" was uttered, as he was baffled and speechless, but Ork knew exactly what to say and do: holy...its time to head to the coal mines
. Awakened and enraged, Ork would once again launch into a flurry of breaking tools by breaking blocks, reclaiming his spot only 3 hours later with a goading post: your turn mate
. Yet the deed was done, and Scientific would gradually push back and start widening the gap, this time with him leading. its joever for ork lol
