## History

### Season One

#### Founding

Snagaland was created by the players Hannes Herbert and Philpilp, after their first base was destroyed. The base started, when Hannes Herbert began building the Tower of Snagaland. The base was later expanded with a farm and walls. Pollypinolly joined the village on the second day. Later a mine cart trading system and an outer wall, that marked the territory’s border was build.

#### Vacancy

The players Hannes Herbert and Pollypinolly left the server for about a week or two. During that time Philpilp stayed active and worked on his base.

#### Villager Project

Pollypinolly and Hannes Herbert retuned to the Server eventually. Hannes Herbert rejoined the server first. He "escorted" a baby villager from Sniffville‘s villager farm, to the backside of Snagaland. He did this with the help of the player Lyophis. After the villager finally arrived, Hannes Herbert build a "hotel", in which the villager could live. On the next day Hannes Herbert expanded the "hotel" and Lyophis brought more villagers. The village population started to grow. At this moment Pollypinolly arrived. The villagers had been turned to zombie villagers, during the time the players of Snagaland were offline. Pollypinolly cured the villagers. The structure was expanded again and two more underground "hotels" were created. Multiple small farms were used to feed and grow the villager population. A sheep pen was created, that was tragically blown up by a creeper. Another one was build on the mountainside.

#### Iron Farm construction

Now that Snagaland had access to villagers, Pollypinolly began to build an iron farm. Hannes Herbert joined later on and helped to get villagers into the finished iron farm. This deemed to be much more difficult than expected. The construction was plagued by many random occurrences, that hindered progress. After the villagers had finally been captured, Pollypinolly and Hannes Herbert, with the help of Lyophis begann to search for a zombie. Because of bad luck the zombies always died, before they could be used in the farm. After finally capturing a zombie, an iron golem spawned outside of the farm and killed that zombie. After hours of bad luck and hard work, the farm was finally completed.

#### Border Disputes

A short while after finishing the iron farm, the player of Snagaland discovered, that a player by the name of \_\_KingCrafter\_\_ had intentions to build on their land. He had flattened an area, that partially belonged to Snagaland. This area encompassed two sides of land surrounding a river. On one riverside the area claimed by \_\_KingCrafter\_\_ was completely owned by Snagaland. On the other side only a part belonged to Snagaland. This part was however stripped of all trees, flattened and most importantly the cobblestone border wall was removed. The Snagaland players where very upset at this, because they had plans to build in said area. \_\_KingCrafter\_\_ defended his actions stating, that he didn’t know that the territory was claimed and that there were no buildings or other structures on the land. The developer Yu\_rie became involved. He stated that he would reset the area. Then it could be proven, that the territory was claimed. Unfortunately he accidentally did not just reset the disputed area but also nearly the whole of Snagaland by four irl days. This meant, that all the progress on the Snagaland iron farm was lost. All valuables inside chests were reset. One of the villager "hotels“ was gone. And all progress \_\_KingCrafter\_\_ made, was lost, because he only joined the server two day prior and the world was set back four days. Thankfully for the players of Snagaland a part of their progress was re-reset. The sheep farm was suddenly back. The farms near the "hotels" were restored. It appears, that the items inside the tower returned. The pumpkin farm was only partially restored. The iron farm was damaged and the zombie and villagers were gone. One of the "hotels" was missing and for some reason the villagers nearly all became zombie villagers. The disputed area was restored successfully. The cobblestone walls have returned, proving, that there were clear signs of a border

#### Re-Reset

Two (irl) weeks after the reset, after Yu\_rie was demoted from being a developer, the server’s owner RevengeBiscuit (MCisCool) returned the villagers and possessions of Snagaland. The iron farm finally had mobs, the villagers returned and the second "hotel" was brought back. There was only a small problem, that occurred; the player Hannes Herbert, had build a replacement "hotel", which merged with the original. This did luckily, for the players of Snagaland, not affect any of the villagers.

#### New Sniffer Park

The players Philpilp and Hannes Herbert had planned to create a new Sniffer Park on the other side of the river, that was previously disputed land. SpaceLemon had given the Snagaland players the land, as she had originally built there. Plans were made to create multiple new buildings to later in host a festival called "The Golden Celebration". An underground canal was made to circumvent the N. A. P. Axolotl tank which blocked the river from being passable by boats. SpaceLemons old shop was hidden under a false hill construction nearly begun. Philpilp was still working on his house in Sniffville, however. The park couldn’t be completed until the server was closed.

#### Snagaland Library

The last project of the player Hannes Herbert, before season one ended was to create a library in Snagaland. It was constructed out of dark oak planks and cobblestone and didn’t house any written books upon completion. The library also had some secret rooms that would have contained special books.

### Season Two

#### Founding

A very short while after the creation of the new server Snagaland was brought to it. The first building was a primarily underground silo made from cobblestone, that housed a few chests. Afterwards the construction of a farm begun north of the silo which itself was located north from spawn. The farm would greatly expand later. The player Pollypinolly created a new silo out of cobblestone and wood. It was agreed upon to bury the old silo and use the new one. An office of mining was created near Mount Snagaland.

#### Growth

The players Chaos\_1352, Babuino and Alex\_The\_Boi joined Snagaland soon after it’s creation. The settlement and farm grew much larger. Chaos\_1351 created a windmill inside of the now considerably large farm, where resided upon completion of the build. He was appointed bureaucrat and representative of Snagaland by the council. The player Philpilp created an office of bureaucracy for the faction to be able to cast votes on different issues.

#### Snagaland’s Sniffers

Bambuino was the first Snagaland player to hatch a sniffer on the SniffSMP. He created a sniffer pen next the Alex\_The\_Bois‘s home. Without asking for permission, Fasterpenny9018 entered the pen and bred Bambuino’s, taking their egg for himself and his faction. This caused him to get temporarily banned from the Minecraft server. Fasterpenny9018, however, managed to resolve the conflict with Bambuino, on the discord, by promising to pay him back with diamonds. The fence of the enclosure greatly expanded in height to prevent players from breaking in.

#### Acquisition of Villagers

Snagaland’s players were gaining good loot but they still lacked villagers that would trade mending enchantment books. Pollypinolly and Chaos\_1352 were searching for villagers. Chaos\_1352 had found a good villager. He turned it into a zombie villager so he could heal the villager and get a trade bonus. But the player Hannes Herbert accidentally foiled his plan and lead to the (second) death of the zombie villager. He was tasked with finding a new one. After some searching, he discovered a village with multiple villagers. The players trapped the villagers and found a zombie villager in a cave beneath the village which they cured and gave a job as a librarian that would from now on sell mending books. Hannes Herbert created a water slide that lead down into the cave. He lured the villagers down the water slide and they were trapped underground. The village was later on walled off and became Snagaland’s first colony. The player Hannes Herbert remained the only one with a home set at the location, which was far away from spawn. This stopped the majority of Snagaland’s players from entering the colony and trading with the villagers.

#### Construction of Borders

The player Lyophis as well as the player Tobicub settled in Snagaland. The border walls of the faction were expanded afterwards. They encompassed the players‘ bases. This lead to the southern border of Snagaland being clarified while the northern and eastern border were still ambiguous. In the far east of Snagaland a coliseum for PvP fans was constructed. Because it was mostly made out of cobblestone, players dubbed it the "Cobbleseum". A military base was made near the top of Mount Snagaland because of the recently proposed War System. The player AnanasEater joined Snagaland and built a wall on the eastern side of their home which originally stood outside of Snagaland the border wall did not, however, fit the other borders of Snagaland. This lead to the confusion which could not resolved easily, because the player AnanasEater wasn’t a member of the Discord server.

## Geography

### Current Server

#### Summary

Snagaland lies in the north of the server’s old spawn. It encompasses a forrest biome and a part of the mountain range to the farther north of the spawn north. It shares a border with Fasterland to the east.

##### Wittgenberg

It is the capital of Snagaland. Most of Snagaland is part of Wittgenberg. Behind the southern gate stand a watchtower as well as the new Snagaland silo. Behind them lies the great Snagaland farm in the center of which the windmill of bureaucracy towers. To the east of the settlement a bay divides the lands on which Alex\_The\_Boi and and Bambuino reside in and the territory on which Blattfinger and LateSquare live. North of the bay and below the mountains, the New Sniffer Park built by Lyophis stands.

##### Mount Snagaland

Mount Snagaland is one of great mountains towering above the servers spawn. Near the top there lies a military base for the army of Snagaland. A plan of the faction’s council is the construction of a great tower atop the peak.

##### Colonies

Snagaland currently has one colony, which is a village located far from spawn, in which multiple mending villagers reside.

### Old Server

#### Main Settlement

The main settlement encompassed the great hill located near Sniffville, as well as a territory on the opposing side of the river. Most of the border of the main settlement was marked by a cobblestone wall.

#### Colonies

On the season one server, Snagaland only had one colony named the Great Farm.

#### Towers

Snagaland possessed multiple towers, that were not located in the main settlement. These were:

##### Rastapopoulos Tower

Rastapopoulos Tower was located atop another large hill, behind Snagaland.

##### Radella Tower

Radella Tower was located next to a birch forest biome. It was build near the End Church of Alex\_The\_Boi.

#### Co-Owned Settlements

There were two other settlements, which were owned by the Snagaland Player Philpilp

Philpilp created the hermitage of Snifferton, while hiding from the Snagaland player Pollypinolly.

After the original owner of Sniberia left the settlement, the ownership of the hermitage was given to Philpilp. Later on the owner returned. After this Philpilp still a member of the Sniberia Council though.

## Culture

### Trivia

* The name of Snagaland comes from the board game „Sagaland“ mixed up with the first initials of Sniffer.

### Flag

The colors green, yellow, and blue in the Snagaland flag stand for the vegetation that helped shape Snagaland's central region, the wheat that feeds our population, and the river close to the mountain that supplies us with water. All of these elements had to be balanced and worked together to create Snagaland.
