Gamer Lake is the self proclaimed "Poggiest and Gamer-est" town located around a lake in a Birch Forest. It was founded by the user Friedtoast77 on February 14th of 2021, and had a few members join soon after.
History
Before the Founding
On the day the 1.16 server first opened, Gamer Lake's founder, Friedtoast77 and two of his friends, Woulou and PaperMarioGaming, had already decided they wanted to form a settlement/town of their own. They had been brainstorming ideas for what to make and names for their settlement but never came up with anything that stuck. The next day Fried stumbled upon a lake in a birch forest with a landmass floating above it. He decided this is where they would build their town, and named it "Gamer Lake" based off a gag the trio had where they added "Pog" or "Gamer" to the beginning of almost anything.
The Early Growth of Gamer Lake
Soon after the founding of Gamer Lake, PaperMarioGaming would move to the location. Another User by the name of DrthVrdrMarenghi would soon join and build a lot of the paths, bridges, and buildings in Gamer Lake. These buildings included things like the villager breeder, the fishing docks, the courthouse, and the current version of the floating island.
Becoming a Town
On March 3rd, Woulou logged back on for the first time since the server started. A few days earlier, Drth had left Gamer Lake to live in Hermit's Quarry. So Woulou picked up where Drth had left off, Finishing the path around the lake, adding better lighting around it, constructing the Pogway, and making an info board at the entrance portal. After 2 new members joined, Gamer Lake was finally qualified to apply to become a town.
Rules of Gamer Lake
- No eating Cooked Mutton
- Respect your fellow Gamers and their builds
- Please check in with the Mayor before joining (either in game or on Discord), otherwise there is no requirements to join.
- Do not cut down the Birch Forest without replanting if you're visiting to get a lot of Birch wood
Build Code
It is only asked that you put effort into making you builds look somewhat nice (Don't make a Box house). It is also required you ask the Mayor about any large projects you wanna build for the town before starting it. (small things like a small private farm or a Storage shed are fine without permission, but things like, a large farm or a tower of some kind are examples of big projects)
Notable Builds in Gamer Lake
Public Fishing Docks
Obviously a lake has a place you can fish at. The building the docks are on has several chests for organizing fishing loot, Roof access to fish from higher up, a bed to stop Phantoms, and a lava pit for throwing away unwanted junk.
Gamer Lake Mines
The Gamer Lake mines are a simple set of Strip mines at Y-level 11 where Gamers mine for resources such as Iron, Coal, and Diamonds. It has many strip mines branching off the main tunnel, as well as the Pogway and Poglane (See below).
The Pogway
The Pogway (Also known as the 2076th Parallel) is an ongoing project by the town's current Mayor, Woulou, to create an Iceway in the Overworld at Y-level 11 across the entirety of the Z-coordinate 2076. This would create an infinite tunnel due to how both world borders teleport the player to the opposite side of the map.
The Poglane
The Poglane (also known as the 2188th parallel) is the prototype of this looping tunnel but was dug on the Z-coordinate 2188. It was unsuccessful due to multiple player claims that were going to be dug past the Y-level 11 were in the way. The tunnel still remains finished and can be walked down, but there are no plans to add packed ice to the Poglane ever.
The Courthouse
On the outskirts of Gamer Lake there is a courthouse made by Drth, it is the largest Structure in the town currently (If you don't count the Mines). The courthouse has no real purpose yet as no court cases have been held in the town yet, but it is a great structure and worth a visit if you travel to Gamer Lake.
Small Villager Housing Area
A very safe and not at all torturous area where the Gamers keep a small population of 3 Villagers, this number may grow as time goes on but no immediate plans to expand the housing for the Villagers have been made. The 3 professions in the area are Farmer, Cleric, and Fletcher.

Trivia
- The Poglane was originally a strip mine Woulou dug out trying to get a ton of diamonds, but after digging to the world border with less then his desired 2 stacks, he decided to keep going the full loop.
- The entire Poglane was dug with Woulou's one Netherite Pickaxe, named "torchless" due to how Woulou tends to mine without placing torches using dynamic lighting.
- Most of the poglane is still rich with unmined ores due to Woulou's inventory becoming full less then 1/4 of the journey in.
- The residents of Gamer Lake are sometimes referred to as "Gamers"
- There is a Conduit inside the Floating Island's bottom that gives anyone who enters the lake the "Conduit's Power" effect
- You can't lick your elbow with your tongue. go on, I dare you to try.
- There is a Mob Head Totem nearby the Fishing Docks which is currently not even close to finished.
- Gamer Lake's wiki page was created the day before the Mayor's birthday.
