Third AteneoCord SMP

The Third AteneoCord SMP, also known as Ateneo SMP! and formerly known as Joab Server, is a privately owned Minecraft server created by Joab, and is the 3rd version of the AteneoCord SMP. The server was intended to revive the AteneoCord SMP, allowing Bedrock users to join, but included different plugins that deviated from the vanilla experience like helicopters. It is known to be the shortest-lived SMP server in AteneoCord due to admin abuse and griefing.
== History ==
In June 2021, Joab hosted a Minecraft server on Aquatis and named it "Joab Server." It operated as a survival hub for his classmates. But because of inactivity, he started advertising it to other Discord servers, which never got any attraction and caused the server to remain dormant for almost half a year.On March 21, 2022, Joab was asking members in #💬 | general-chat if there was an active SMP for the server. After being informed that the previous SMP lost popularity, Joab offered members to play on his server. u2 gained interest and asked Joab if he could rebrand it to "AteneoCord SMP." After the rebrand to "Ateneo SMP!," u2 announced the planned revival of the AteneoCord SMP in #💎 | smp-announcements. Many members had positive reactions to the announcement and were already asking for the server IP. moist was the first to attempt to join the server but failed multiple times because he joined with an incorrect version number. After seeing this, Joab requested moist to help test if the server was joinable.
After fixing the issue a day later, u2 announced the SMP revival to AteneoCord, and the server went live. It was not an instant success, given that the server IP had to have a specific port to join, but it filled up with members gradually.
=== First day ===
When the SMP officially opened, moist and u2 were the first to join. Joab gave resources to them like armor and weapons, and he demonstrated the helicopter plugin they intended to use in faction wars. Joab guided moist and u2 while on foot, and they successfully took over a pillager outpost, gathering all the resources they found.
=== Admin abuse and lack of trust ===
On March 22, 2022, Klums noticed an absurd amount of diamonds in Joab's base. As he and his faction mined around the nearby caves, it didn't seem clear to them how Joab would obtain a large amount considering the appearance of the caves didn't show any signs of extensive mining activity. While they were investigating, Joab unexpectedly teleports to Klums' location. Klums, assuming it was a hacker, attacked Joab with an iron axe. Joab took it as staff disrespect, so he killed Klums with an admin-only weapon instantly and made him drop all of his belongings. After realizing he reacted wrongly, he promised Klums recompensation, but then changed his mind to do so after Klums repeatedly asked him for it.
Klums, u2, and eilyu. retaliated against Joab by repeatedly killing him without stopping. They killed Joab 9 times while he killed only one of them. The conflict only got worse because Joab combat-logged and the altercation continued in #💎 | smp-chat. During this time, Joab joined back to the server with an alternate account; he was repeatedly spawn killed. After the conflict, members of Klums' group started taking their anger out in the server by griefing player builds with ender dragons and de-oping everyone. The incident eventually was noticed by earthworMGD, and he offered a compromise to be the only one to moderate the server. SMP members agreed that this was a good idea while demanding that Joab get banned from the server.
=== IP leak ===
An argument ensued over Joab's cases of admin abuse which led Joab to threaten to sell u2, Klums, and eilyu's IP addresses to the black market. After that, he then proceeds to leak them in #💎 | smp-chat, which causes him to get muted and triple warned by u2. Other SMP members who saw this turned against Joab and even suggested reporting him to Discord for breaking Terms of Service. Joab tried to redeem himself by explaining that what he did was a joke but ultimately failed.
== Server reboot ==
On March 24, 2022, u2 announced that a server reboot would happen later within the day, replacing Joab with a new server owner. Naomi offered to pay for the server hosting on Aquatis. Eclipse offered to host the server instead, but no one told him where to host it, so he suggested using PebbleHost. 
== List of established factions ==
=== Spawn ===
The Spawn faction, headed by Joab, acted as a beginner's hub for new players joining the SMP. The faction base was a tree-house with a basement consisting of a furnace wall and one bedroom. The area also had the faction's helipad due to the helicopter plugin. It later got destroyed by ISIS - AteneoCord due to prior conflicts such as base raids and admin abuse.
=== U MERCENARY ===
The U MERCENARY is a faction that offers paid mercenary and hit-man services that accept bribes. Headed by u2, it was the first faction to exist independently from the spawn faction. Later rebranded as ISIS - AteneoCord, they led the SMP to its rightful death by griefing player bases and de-oping everyone.
=== Moist Trading Co. ===
The Moist Trading Co. (MTC) is a trading faction headed by moist. Its purpose was to distribute and exchange goods with other factions on the server. However, due to the griefing done by ISIS - AteneoCord, their base hadn't finished construction, which forced them to disband before they even started operations.
=== Amongus Harbor 69 ===
=== Hakugyokurou ===
HKYK is a faction that explored the east side of the world. Headed by Icota, the faction was acting as a Touhou reference, and served an excuse to get revenge on Joab for his lies and hypocrisy on the server. Despite being nomads, the faction have set checkpoints around the east.
=== Vietnam ===
Vietnam was an unfinished faction, founded by Perry and Icota. It was set in a jungle, and claimed an entire river. It was very short-lived after Joab followed Perry from the spawn into the jungle. Joab originally didn't care but after a few hours blew up the main base of operations for no reason, and proceeded to grief everything else. Perry was furious and killed Joab, who then TP'ed himself back to his place of death and then proceeded to hunt Perry. Perry soon quit the SMP.
