The Cousin Pact SMP was born out of the legacy of The Pickle Network, named after a pact signed by Jacob, Dylan, and Emily. It carried forward the community's love for nations and lore but shifted more toward exploration and individual creativity rather than heavy political play. While countries still existed, the focus was on spreading out, building ambitious projects, and continuing unfinished ideas like a massive rail system. With standout builds from members like Emily and Michael, the server maintained a tight-knit feel despite being smaller than its predecessors. Though it eventually shut down due to dwindling activity, it left behind memorable builds and stories that kept the spirit of the network alive.
