pYr01v1aniac (pronounced pyromaniac), colloquially known as pyro, was an oldfag and 4channer who joined in December 2010.
History
pYr01v1aniac joined 2b2t in December 2010 while browsing 4chan.<ref name="interview">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hSDU0aw8bw&t=40s</ref>
In his first few hours, pyro escaped 0,0 and gathered resources, partially from the ruins of bases within 1,000 blocks from Spawn. He settled at around 2,500 blocks from Spawn, building a fenced villa-like house of smoothstone and wood, along with a garden. He named this base Farpoint (purposely named ironically, as it was close to spawn), which partially served as a waypoint for the handful of new players who passed through. By the ninth day, somebody had emptied the chests but left the building intact, but after two weeks, the entire base was griefed with TNT.<ref name="blog">http://www.jamesrustles.com/2016/03/pyro1v1aniacs-2b2t-log.html</ref>
He later based with passie05 in a group he had. They excavated a base underneath an ocean, which included a mob grinder, around 1,000 blocks from Spawn. The entrance was a 1x1 hole on the ocean floor. The base lasted for two months until it was x-rayed and griefed. Several stacks of duped diamond blocks were lost, although pyro had three stacks with him, so he with those.<ref name="blog"/>
He traveled into the +X, -Z quadrant, and settled at around 20,000 blocks from Spawn, building Farpoint Mk2. Farpoint Mk2 was built as a castle, bigger and more elaborate than Farpoint. He lived here for months before discovering a fairly elaborate settlement within 700 blocks from his base, which had three players working there. The three, initially alarmed due to pyro's gear, chased pyro despite his offering of peace, so he ran away and lost them. He ran towards a Nether portal within 1,000 blocks of Spawn rather than towards his base so that the three wouldn't know where his base was.<ref name="blog"/>
pyro says that he never "got in as deep" as other players on the server, which is partially why he lasted so long on it.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hSDU0aw8bw&t=197s</ref> He mostly based alone, but did base with others "now and then".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hSDU0aw8bw&t=324s</ref> He fought alongside Team Veteran during the Rusher War in 2016. In 2017, he became involved with Sniper231996 and based at Valinor with Myne1001, Sage_Mathias, faildev, and several others.
pyro became inactive in October 2017 due to the impending removal of the pre-June Queue.<ref name="farewell">https://www.removeddit.com/r/2b2t/comments/77848h/farewall_2b2t_updated_log_will_follow_when_i_have/</ref>
He hasn't played on 2b2t since, however, he's had part-time appearances on Constantiam until 2024.
