Thoth (Minecraft IGN: Toth_1), is a member of 852 Resurgence. He is a member of the MRT Diaspora. As his former username suggested, he likes cats and has one in real life, who used to be Purr, but was replaced by Lily in mid-December, 2024. He works as a librarian in real life. He is a server partner with his server Thoth Tree.


In December of 2023, Thoth won the SMP Award at the Community Awards. He didn't attend the ceremony, though.

History

Thoth came from a transit city-building server known as the MRT Server, where he was a long-time and fairly active member. He is friends with many people in the MRT Diaspora, including but not limited to, Frogggggg (known to him as frog), and becoming friends with the 852r Founder on the MRT, Card0 (known to him as Harbor). Eventually, after being curious about 852r for months from hearing his fellow MRT-ians talking about it, he finally asked Card0 for the invite link to the server near the start of 2022.

Once he joined, he wasn't active on the server except to play counting and interact largely only with the people he knew from the MRT. This changed with the rise of 852R SMP, in which he got to know a select portion of the rest of the community some more through Minecraft. He died numerous times initialy, but would eventually stabilize. The United Infrastructure Guild was started by Thoth in order to build, maintain, and improve infrastructure on the SMP. Due to his job, Thoth's activity on the SMP would become very low, and then he stopped coming on altogether. As a result, the United Infrastructure Guild would be dissolved in early spring of 2025. Said organization's magnum opus was arguably the nether highways. He is also active on the 852r WIki, making regular edits to it even when he otherwise isn't active anywhere else in the community.

In the Tsz Kong Political Sim, his time in there began when Card0 revived the sim. He joined the Democratic Socialist Greens, then known as the Radical Party. Eventually, the leader (who happened to be one of his MRT friends) left the sim, making him the leader. He changed the name to Democratic Socialist Alliance due to the word radical's negative connotations, which would then merge with the Greens. Eventually, Thoth became President, serving for two terms and running on a platform of anti-toxicity and meaningful reform to the sim. He even tried to write a new constitution, but despite receiving praise from some people, it didn't pass. Thoth would end up leaving the sim after his presidency due to Pixel's passive-aggressiveness.

Towards the end of October, Thoth was nominated by Card0 for Mediator. He succeeded in getting the rank, with all but one of the people who voted in his poll voting for him being promoted. As staff, although he has an appreciation for the system of 852r (even going so far as basing part of Thoth Tree's own system off of it) he favors the community taking rules more seriously and creating a less toxic culture, with his limited enforcement capabilities as Mediator being based off that line of thought. He has supported every step by Card0 to be more strict, but feels there is still work to be done before 852r becomes the aforementioned two things.

Due to getting older and increasing dissatisfaction with how things are run on the MRT, Thoth has started spending time in other communities. As of September 2023, Thoth has left the MRT indefinitely with no plans to return. Also because of increased maturity, he has largely disassociated with Ruffism.

As of August 13th, 2024, when the Mediator and Technician ranks became sub-roles of Moderator, Thoth along with all the other people of those two ranks was promoted to mod. Although he was initially surprised by the promotion, he is happy at the new development.

On January 24th, 2025, Thoth would resign from staff, citing his job as his reason.

Personality

Thoth is very kind and optimistic. Though in the community, he readily interacts (especially after 852rSMP went live) with people. In real life, on account of his Autism (he is nevertheless very high-functioning, even indistinguishable from normal people), he is somewhat introverted, generally interacting with few people outside his family and his circle of friends (even then, he doesn't share all of his likes at any one time, due to his introversion). Even with these people, he has amicable relations with them.Though he enjoys having fun, he is capable of being serious and has a work-ethic to boot.

His ideals are, in no particular order, community, compassion, equality, justice, mercy, generosity, honesty, integrity, and tolerance. These stem from his political beliefs as a leftist and his religious beliefs as a moderate Christian and vice-versa.

His interests (outside of 852r and Minecraft) include science (especially astronomy), geography, history, comparative religion and philosophy, politics, writing, reading (would read anything that is not horror), speculative biology, ecology, art, TV and film (would not watch horror. anything too violent, or depressing). He is happy to talk about all of these things casually.

According to the prestigious 16 Personalities online quiz, his personality is an assertive advocate (Code: INFJ-A).

Beliefs

Thoth's beliefs are summarized here. While he used to like talking about politics online, he doesn't really anymore (granted, he's more neutral about himself discussing of politics in general). This is because he feels that nuance is hard to read on the internet and politics is full of nuance.

This section is marked for renovation.
