Ram Ranch

Ram ranch is an infamous spawn base created by Am3thyst in December of 2020. It was named after an infamous song by musician Grant Macdonald which talks about cowboys.

The base was meant to be a safe haven for new players, being located just outside of the LavacastLands at coordinates 70 -1200. This base helped several new players including TheSlavicPig escape spawn.

It gained an infamous reputation due to it's name, and the many skirmishes and events that took place there.

Construction and initial period
Ram ranch began construction in late November of 2020, being a simple cobblestone structure, accompanied by another structure made primarily of granite, and a different building with a netherrack roof.

it was used as the beginning point for the Autoslay highway which led out of spawn.

The base was helpful to many new players during this period

The Battle of Ram Ranch
During The Tree war |The&#x20;Tree&#x20;warAmethyst decided to go to spawn and burn all of the trees that had been planted in the last few days, however Cloud was waiting for him. Cloud quickly tracked down Amethyst and they chased each other in the air around spawn until Amethyst was low on rockets and decided to land at Ram Ranch, a rest stop along the AutoSlay Highway. Amethyst landed in a river near the ranch and put on his chestplate. Cloud also landed and attempted to use end crystals to kill Amethyst, however Amethyst was in the water below the explosions, so they resorted to hand to hand combat with swords. Amethyst did not have another set of gear and was running low on food while they battled in the river. Cloud was able to pop one of Amethyst's totems, however he quickly recovered and weakened Cloud. The two kept swinging at each other with little progress on killing one another, however Amethyst's set was running low.

Amethyst was able to pop one of Cloud's totems before he flew off leaving Amethyst with no food and little armor. Amethyst logged off for a few hours and came back to the ranch. He was greeted by Storm, who had joined The Spawn Empire and seemed friendly at the time. However, an invisible player was lurking around the ranch and unexpectedly killed Amethyst. The details on whether or not Storm had anything to do with this is still being debated, however Storm killed probablynotnick, the leader of the Dickless Bois and a member of The Spawn Empire on that same day. She was with the same player (Golfette, who was a known Bendy alt account that was apparently sold) when Nick was killed, which raised suspicions.

Lavacasting
On December 6th 2020, an unknown player constructed a massive lavacast over Ram Ranch, leaving the actual base pretty much untouched. This basically marked the end of Ram Ranch's use as a haven for new players, as it was abandoned shortly after. It would receive many visitors over the next few months due to it's proximity to spawn.

Use as Oasis outpost and subsequent events
In may of 2021, the group known as Oasis HighWays built a small underground outpost underneath Ram Ranch to use for restocking and setting their spawn, this outpost was discovered by SankriMalakas during his quest to inside and destroy Oasis. He ambushed Am3thyst at the base, causing him to combat log due to his profound lack of PVP experience. The outpost was then bedtrapped and heavily withered by Sankri, who showed this event in the now deleted video "the end of Oasis".

Moss-ifying
On August 17th 2021, the area around Ram Ranch was completely covered by moss and Azealia trees by the short lived UA spawn revival

Restoration
