Day 81

**Day 81** took place on 10 February 2020. It followed the events of Day 80 and was followed by the events of Day 82. It was also CaptainSparklez's birthday!

## Major Events

### The Fourth Faction Reset

* Despite the admins' previous announcements, several players discovered that the faction claim plugin had apparently been fixed since its reset on Day 76.
	+ Players were able to create factions and claim lands again, all previous faction claims had not been reinstated on the server.
	+ Krinios was the first to reestablish his faction, the Bean Empire, and reclaimed one chunk of Bean Island.
	+ Timotainment reestablished Bosnia.
	+ Fruitberries created a temporary faction called *Baby* and disbanded it several minutes later.
	+ KotiePlayz, a member of Alaska, reinstated Tubbo's faction, Gamboje in an attempt to extort 100 diamonds from him. He also claimed some territory for the faction in British Columbia.
		- Tubbo did not comply with the demands and created Gambojeistan instead.
	+ TommyInnit tried to reestablish Business Bay, but the faction plugin didn't allow him to give it a name with more than 10 characters.
		- He resorted to rename it as *BizBay* with the description *Formally Business Bay*.
		- Fruitberries, in response, created a new one called *tommysux* but disbanded it within seconds.
		- Tommy then decided to rename it from *BizBay* to *BB*, but the scuffed plugin rejected his request due to being shorter than 3 characters. He changed the name to *BusBay*.
		- He made a final change to the faction name, settling on *BusinesBay* (with only one ’s’ at the end) due to a suggestion from one of his chat moderators
		- He successfully allied with both Bosnia and Bean Empire.

* Later, the SMPEarth Dynmap crashed at approximately 5:50 PM EST. When it returned at approximately 5:59 PM, all claims had disappeared again.
	+ Again, Krinios managed to reestablish the Bean Empire and reclaimed the chunk on Bean Island.
	+ WardenToons reestablished her faction, Zootopia, and reclaimed her lands in northern Canada.
	+ Wuna301 noticed that Warden had also claimed over his base at Lake Woody.
		- When asked about this situation, Warden explained that she only meant to claim the borders/wall around the lake, but the autoclaim had filled in the chunks.
		- Chip stepped in and agreed to help both of them draw their factions' borders.
		- Wuna reestablished Packle and began to fill in his claims on the lake, while Warden claimed the surrounding area in such a way that it did not overclaim.
	+ Quig established a faction called TwitchPrime replacing his previous faction of Kwig.
		- He mentioned that the admins advised that all factions would need to be manually reclaimed. This meant that several factions, especially ones in Europe, could become defunct due to their inactivity.
	+ Grunk reestablished Log Lagoon and reclaimed his faction's lands, including the Olympic Stadium and the Olympic Ice Race Track.
	+ TimeDeo reestablished Business Bay and reclaimed his faction's territory.
	+ Michaelmcchill and Wuna then reclaimed the Packle territory of northern California.
	+ Eret reclaimed all of the New Hawaiian territories and renamed the faction as Ursus.
		- Eret did not reclaim the portion of Krakahumungus that he claimed on Day 55. He did mention that he still intends to purchase the entire volcano from Kwite.
	+ VoiceOverPete reestablished the Antarctic Empire, claiming all of Antartica including the land claims held by Bosnia, known as Bosnian Antarctica.
	+ Ben3759 reestablished Hazbinhotel, re-claiming Lake Hazbin (Lake Superior) in North America.
		- Krinios declared the faction as an enemy immediately, repeating his action on Day 47 when the faction was first established by BedheadBernie.
		- Hazbinhotel later allied with Packle.
		- The original faction claims near the Angel Dust pixel art were not re-claimed.
	+ Timotainment reestablished Bosnia for the second time on the day.
		- He managed to reclaim Bosnian Chukotka.
	+ Jamakattack reestablished Pogland.

* Due to the faction data corruption that caused the Fourth Faction Reset, Chip announced that 13 February (at 12 pm - 6 pm CST / 6 pm - 12 am GMT) and 14 February (9 am - 1 pm CST / 3 pm - 7 pm GMT) are designated as **Reclaiming Day** for players to reclaim their factions' territories and colonies on the server.
	+ JoshA20 shared this information with the community in the SMPEarth Discord.
	+ To facilitate the claiming process, Chip would grant players with "spectator mode, infinite faction power, `/tp` and a few other commands".
* The Dynmap kept crashing throughout the day, making it difficult for both players and fans to navigate the server.

### Other Events

* TommyInnit planned to rob Timotainment at his base in Bosnian Chukotka.
	+ Tim was defensive and refused to give his valuables to Tommy.
		- Tommy ended up attacking him, but Tim managed to combat log twice and avoid death.
		- Eventually, Tommy managed to kill him but decided to return all of his items.
		- He did, however, swap his enchanted Power IV bow (that he stole from Technoblade) with Tim's enchanted Power IV and Punch II bow, giving Tim the former.
	+ Tommy felt bad for the robbery and the unexpected reaction, so he established an alliance between their factions.
	+ Later, he found Fruitberries wandering at Business Bay.
		- Initially, Tommy was wary of Fruit due to his reputation as a trap builder, and so held him at gunpoint. However, after learning that Fruit had killed Tubbo, he instantly allied with his faction, Funnydog.
		- Tommy then gave him a tour of Business Bay. Fruit offered to return the favor with a tour of his own base as well, but Tommy refused it.

* VoiceOverPete was seen at his base from the SMPEarth Dynmap, doing his regular AFK fishing.
	+ Pete left his Twitch stream running, however, and was only alerted by Michaelmcchill and Wuna301 of it hours later.
* Osidinum rejoined Bean Empire and was spotted alongside Krinios on Bean Island, working on their base in Oasis.
* Quig began to build a base in Greenland, north of the territory of Bosnian Greenland.
	+ He also mentioned his intent to claim all of Greenland from Bosnia while collecting resources for his 100 by 100 wide castle.
	+ He later decided to expand the dimensions to 102 by 102 blocks.
	+ Quig said that he is going to wait on Timotainment before claiming the territory in order to avoid any conflicts.
* BrodyAnimates and IDontKnowYT sent their requests to Grunk to become members of Log Lagoon.
	+ So far, only Brody was inducted to the faction.
* Eret, while claiming his faction's territories and colonies, seized the opportunity of being in spectator mode and took pictures of various landmarks across the globe.
	+ Due to his immense contribution, he has been officially referred by the wiki team as the "SMPEarth Photographer".
		- Man what a guy!
* RedVacktor attempted to remake the Hawaiian Archipelago.
	+ He was caught red-handed by Eret, the architect of The Hawaiian Heist, who began to spectate his stream and inquired his business on lands owned by Ursus.
	+ Eret then allowed him to build a fake island there with a single palm tree as a compromise, since all genuine Hawaiian lands have been transferred to Ursus City to be sold/exhibited in the future Hawaiian Museum there.

## DEFCON levels

On Day 81, the DEFCON level was 3, because of RedVacktor's invasion on Eret's sovereignty. Wuna301 and WardenToons also had a minor altercation over land claims.
