Yurie

**Yurie** is known by many players, as SniffSMP‘s most controversial player, admin and developer. He was appointed as a developer by RevengeBiscuit. Yurie became infamous for adding unwanted plugins and admin abuse. Because of this he lost his administrator status. After staying on the server for a while, it was found out he was hacking and he was banned for six months.

## History

### Time as Developer

After Yurie was appointed a developer, he added multiple plugins to the server and tried to reduce lag.

#### Unnecessary Plugins

Yurie’s plugin management was criticised by many players, who found many of the new plugins to be useless or annoying. The PvP plugin for example was meant to prevent players from killing each other without permission. The plugin was modified to knock players back, who tried to attack a person, who’s PvP was disabled. Players soon discovered, that if you were to jump while hitting the other player, you would be knocked a hundred blocks in the air. This could cause players, who where playing together to die, when accidentally hitting others.

#### City Build Restructuring

Yurie planned to add a economy plugin as well as a claiming system to the server. A large amount of players were against these ideas. Yurie didn’t add the economy plugin. But he added a claiming plugin to the server. It was removed shortly after its implementation.

#### Removal of Map Arts

Map arts were a new feature, that surprisingly most people liked. Players uploaded their favourite images onto the server. Many people decorated their houses with images of their real pets. Unfortunately for the majority of the players, all map arts were removed. This lead to many empty item frames inside homes. Yurie stated, that he removed them to improve them. After the removal there were five successful polls on the Discord demanding their immediate re-addition. These polls were ineffective however. Map arts never returned to the server.

### First Arc

The first arc describes the time period Yurie himself started to be disliked or even hated by many members of SniffSMP. The first arc ended, when Yurie’s demotion occurred.

#### Becoming Disliked

After these scandals, players began to dislike Yurie and suggested his demotion from developer, or later even his banishment from server. A large number of players suggested to the current owner RevengeBiscuit, that he should remove Yurie’s status. Revenge didn’t remove him immediately, because he was seen as valuable to managing the server.

#### Admin Abuse

Yurie became even more disliked, after multiple cases were discovered, in which he abused his status as administrator. He possessed multiple illegal items. He cheated in PvP battles with other players (sometimes with the aforementioned illegal items).

He created a treasure hunt, in which he hid a villager, that traded a potato for an overpowered enchanted book. Whoever would find this villager would have access to extremely strong items. The idea was critiqued by Yurie’s opponents.

After his demotion players discovered more examples. He is accused of using World Edit to create his castle and using bee spawn eggs inside of his bee farm.

#### Accidental Property Destruction

A land dispute occurred in (or outside of, if you where on the opposing side of the land dispute) the village of Snagaland. A player called \_\_Kingcrafter\_\_ removed part of Snagalands cobblestone wall and begun building on their claimed land. Yurie tried to resolve the issue, by reverting the chunks, on which \_\_Kingcrafter\_\_ had built. The reset proved, that he had partially demolished the Snagaland border wall. But Yurie hadn’t just reset the disputed territory to its original state and satisfied the Snagaland players. He accidentally reset all of Snagaland by two days. This removed a large amount of progress from the settlement. The Snagaland players pushed for the re-reset of the undisputed area of their land. Yurie partially reset some of the village. Much of it was still missing. It took nearly a real month until everything, that was needed, was reset. This was done shorty after Yurie’s demotion. The terrain was not returned by Yurie; but by the servers owner RevengeBiscuit.

#### Demotion

The demotion of Yurie stopped being an idea and became a movement. Players frequently stated their opinions about Yurie. Some created Anti-Yurie propaganda. RevengeBiscuit informed everyone, that if Yurie was to abuse his status one more time, he would be demoted. The day, that many players awaited came, as Yurie was finally demoted by RevengeBiscuit.

## Builds

### Ice Spike Castle

The Ice Spike Castle was a base, that was constructed by Yurie and Gort. It served as their main base, even though it was mostly empty. There were accusations, that Yurie used World Edit and cheated/duped items in the creation of the building.

### Bee Farm

Yurie has also created a bee farm. After his demotion, players discovered bee spawn eggs at the farm. Screenshots of these were used to prove Yurie’s hacking and admin abuse.
