Day 76

**Day 76** took place on 5 February 2020. It followed the events of Day 75 and was followed by the events of Day 77.

## Major Events

### The Fourth Faction Reset

* All faction claims disappeared from the map, leaving many areas of the world unguarded.
* The world border was also disabled for a short period, allowing some players to access the lands beyond the border that used to be restricted by the circumnavigation plugin.
* Planes were discovered to be exceptionally laggy, making it difficult to navigate vast distances across the world in a short period of time.
	+ JoshA20 confirmed this in the SMPEarth Discord that this was a result of a data loss from the mitigation of the server's faction data to a different faction plugin, which was discovered to have corrupted. He also clarified that factions remained disabled and not reset as per earlier speculation.
	+ Josh also added that the brief feature of viewing the Nether on the Dynmap, in both flat and isometric modes; though nothing could be seen anyways. It was removed shortly afterwards.
* TommyInnit used this opportunity to stop a noise machine prank at the Port-aux-Francais.
	+ He contemplated if he should steal from the Antarctic Empire as a form of "retribution".
		- Tommy consulted SootCharlie for his opinion and Charlie simply replied that Tommy could do whatever he pleased. Yet he quickly changed his mind and told Tommy that the theft of others' belongings while they’re offline is considered as *bad manners*.
	+ Eventually, Tommy took a Power 4 bow and quickly left.
* Several members of Log Lagoon such as Grunk and TanningOil along with KaraCorvus raided TimeDeo's base in Business Bay.
	+ They stole a variety of items including many golden apples, which Deo collected through an exploit on Day 69.
	+ Kara mentioned that these items will be returned soon.

#### The World Border Monument

* Upon discovering the command */randomteleport*, TimeDeo utilized this command to teleport to a coordinate of around 29 million blocks from (x).
	+ The trip took approximately 2.5 hours and resulted in numerous setbacks by Josh, yet he finally compromised as he "is a fantastic admin!"
* Deo created an plinth at the very edge (coordinates: 30000000, 67, 0) and placed his faction's flag as well as his most prized sword on it to commemorate his success.

* Some have compared Deo's achievement to the Apollo 11 space mission, known as the first spaceflight to land humans on the moon.

### 7 ARG

* After many days of inactivity, a new volcano appeared at approximately (12853, -943) outside the world border. KaraCorvus and Grunk went to investigate.
	+ Kara discovered Todd's apparent journal in one of the prison cells there.
	+ The volcano apparently headed into the Farlands, and the two could be seen outside the world border while investigating.
	+ Kara and Grunk went deeper into the barebone structure and, after surviving a gravel booby trap, discover a corridor with multiple doors that need access such as the golden key, a paper named '7' as the user ID, and a book that needed the company's name (Laramie Online) written in Base64 code and signed with the user ID.
	+ The server accepted the book and generated a room with the message "Activation completed! generaing room. PROC will notify you when completed".
	+ The two then given permission to enter the generated room filled with a mixture of nether stuffs and valuable ores. But, the server then produced a new message: "error generating. please contact supervisor. Error 404 has occurred during generation. please contact supervisor"
		- They discovered a message board with codes encoded in Standard Galactic Alphabets (a.k.a the language used on the enchanting table).
		- The message translated as "SUPERVISOR IS BEING CONTACTED SUPERVISOR ID = ANDREW"
		- At first, Grunk typed in chat "josh..." to which the server refused to accept and inquire the name again. \\ PROC 8 // System failure - contact supervisor.
		- Kara provided the name Andrew as deduced from the code and from her viewers.
	+ After providing the name, the message wall changed to another code.
		- It translated to "ERROR CONTACTING SUPERVISOR, PLEASE CONTACT **PROC DEPT. HEAD**" with the bold section being in plain English.
	+ Kara tried "contacting proc. dept. head" in game chat" but the server did not recognize the command.
	+ She then typed in chat "contacting user ID Andrew". Fortunately, the server responded with "contacting 7ANDREW".
		- Andrew's voicemail answered, saying, *"Sorry I wasn't able to take your call this Jeremy Bearimy. enter your message after the tone and I'll get back to you! \*beep\*"*
		- Grunk said, "fart". The server said, "call failed". Grunk asked, "plz call back". Andrew responded with *"\*beep\*"*
		- Kara attempted to type in chat, "Requesting access to room creation completion module". (She admitted that she had no idea what to say and simply typed things out.)
		- Andrew's voicemail continued, "Thanks for your message! Once I get back from etneral[sic] hell i'll be sure to contact you!" "andrew out" "peacer"
		- After a long time, the server responded, *"generating room. PROC dept. will contact when completed"*
		- The two pointed out that "Jeremy Bearimy" is the term for time used in the NBC television show, "The Good Place".
	+ They then decided to return and resume the exploration the next day.

### Other Events

* Earlier that day, RedVacktor made a claim for the StateOfDeNile on a desert valley between Packle and New Montana.
	+ He later retracted his claim after consulting with Kara on how to unclaim territories.
* Isaacwhy died to a creeper while trekking through the wilderness of northern Africa.
	+ He managed to retrieve his items later and vowed to never step foot into the region ever again.
	+ Sylvee rage quit after dying to lava, as seen from in-game chat in Isaac's stream somewhere in Alaska.
	+ She revealed to Isaac in VC that she had lost everything, including her enchanted diamond armor, tools, elytra, and tridents, due to lava.

* After their ARG exploration, both Grunk and KaraCorvus briefly explored the lands beyond the SMPEarth overworld map, similar to TimeDeo (previously mentioned).
	+ Kara discovered a natural ravine and the server's first naturally generated zombie spawner.
	+ She also found the "SHUT UP BURREN" sign made during The Angel Dust Crusade.
	+ Both of them were smited by God for exploring the Farlands but were unhurt.
	+ Later, after Grunk returned to Log Lagoon, Kara decided to gather some sweetberries in the taiga forest in the Farlands to complete her seed collection at the Svalbard Seed Vault, considering that they are practically absent from the main world map.
	+ Josh then informed Kara in her Twitch chat that the only reason why the border bypass was allowed for so long was because he forgot the exact number for world border.
		- Kara took it as a race against time for her to get the berries as fast as she could before Josh restored it again, managing to acquire a whole stack of the fruits before returning safely.

* Kara continued constructing the Temple of Heaven in Corvarian Hong Kong.
	+ After a few hours, she managed to complete the structure and adorned it with banners.
	+ Grunk gave her some lilies of the valley that he managed to spawn in Log Lagoon, despite the fact that they are practically rare on the server.
	+ At the end of the day, she had completed the exterior of the temple.

* Beatsolos built herself a house in the north of South America, which she later lost due to the server reset.
	+ Josh rebuilt the house for her and left her a chest of "goodies" as well. He also left her a turtle named *josha20.com*.

* Fitba returned to the server since his first day on the server on Day 52.
	+ He was clearly confused and disoriented with the world of SMPEarth.
	+ While visiting Kara's villager compound in Corvantinople, he accidentally punched one of her cats (Mini Panther).
		- The feline teleported to its owner who was still working on the temple.
		- Unaware of this, he was worried that something might happen to the pet.
	+ Additionally, due to planes not working properly, he was unable to venture out of the Middle Eastern region.
		- He crossed the Black Sea by boat and reached the nearby mountains.
		- After falling into one of the caverns there and thought he almost died, he decided to end his stream early.

* IAmSp00n returned to the server after a long time as he was spotted in Arkansonia via the Dynmap.

* Michaelmcchill returned to the server as well and expanded the base in Packle.

* RedVacktor created a Wild West-themed settlement called *Project Tombstone* located southwest of Salt Lake City, New Montana.
	+ The settlement is planned out to be the American colony of the StateOfDeNile.
	+ He boated across the Pacific Ocean and visited the Ancient Stronghold with VoiceOverPete, Krtzyy, and Quig.
	+ Later, he and Quig returned to America via plane and decorated the houses there with the custom map art.

* TommyInnit and Tubbo faced off over the latter’s plan to bomb Business Bay.
	+ Tommy took Tubbo hostage, and then after some affirmation with other players, he gave Tubbo’s stuff to Sylvee. However, he did not realize that Sylvee was allied with Tubbo.

* Sylvee spent most of her stream mining resources down in Antarctica.
	+ Later, she revealed to other players in global VC that Pete was disappointed by her actions there.
* Krinios cleared a large amount of land to reconstruct Sylvee's 'Big Tree' in Oasis, the capital of Bean Island.

## DEFCON level

On Day 76, the DEFCON status was 3, because of the loot that TommyInnit took at the Port-aux-Francais and that various factions raided Business Bay's stash of Notch Apples.
