Season 2

## Revival SMP Season 2

Revival SMP Season 2 has been the most active and (as a result) most interactive season of Revival SMP so far. Running from June to July 2023, the server featured many new members (creators and non-creators).

The members of Season 2 included **Bottyde, NotJackaL, PairedJupiter92, CyanideBlueMC, Vampsy\_, Bitter\_nymph, LarryKoopa\_, boofy03, R14g, Fjordtroll1, BellaStar001, TR1CK\_, ThePrecious8, TormentedProgram, WintersGem, Azalyx\_, helenlol2** and **electral0k.**

The server began with 3 VIPs; **NotJackaL, R14g** and **LarryKoopa\_**.

### The Founding Arc

#### Beginning of the Server (Reviving the Playerbase)

The allocated VIPs joined the server and spawned on a Cherry Blossom Mountain surrounded by rolling Plains Hills. After collecting resources for approximately 2 hours, the VIPs made their way into the Nether to collect the necessary resources for the Miracle Fluid for the purpose of reviving the players on standby.

However, due to the process dragging on with unfortunate spawns for items and resources, the revivals were delayed until approximately 5 hours into the server. However, this was worth it, as around 10 people were revived on the very first day.

#### The Team Splitting

Immediately after this, the playerbase began dividing into their teams and making their way away from spawn. Notable teams included the Pottoman Empire and the Kizuki, both consisting of relatively large masses of players, with the latter team being the largest on the server.

The Kizuki notably made their way northwest of spawn, and due to unfortunate events and accidents (and R14g with an Axe), **PairedJupiter92 was doomed to drown by R14g**. This would become the first death on the server, and set up tensions between players later, especially between the two aforementioned players, despite being part of the same team.

The team made their way to an acacia village, but were discovered by **electral0k**. **JackaL** (the leader of the Kizuki) believed that another member (**BlueCyanide**) had leaked their whereabouts, as **JackaL** had been killed in a freak accident involving **Blue's** hitbox getting the former pushed off a cliff. This accusation of leaks annoyed **Blue**, who would proceed to grief the Discord server and leave the Kizuki.

### The Cold Wars Arc

#### Tensions

Shortly thereafter, the Kizuki completely split apart, with **JackaL** and **Jupiter** remaining in a team, This would notably become one of the most destructive duos in Revival SMP history. After this, **TormentedProgram** stole items from **R14g,** with the latter holding the former hostage. This forced **JackaL** and **Jupiter** (still known as the Kizuki) to raid **R14g's** base and kill him using traps and brute force. **JackaL** also notably killed **Vampsy's** black cat in his cherry blossom house next to **R14g's** base.

In further tension, **JackaL** chose to secretly ally with **Larry**, meeting with him to collect a smithing template, however solidifying a strong alliance. This would result in the pair deciding to assassinate two delegates of the Pottoman Empire who intended to trade with **Larry**, being **Bot** and **electral0k.** This attempt was not successful, however incited outrage at the two members, which would additionally also harm **Jupiter's** reputation due to his association with **JackaL**.

Furthermore, **Larry** would assist in **JackaL's** second assassination of **R14g**, with the former luring **R14g** with goods, only to fake being attacked by **JackaL**, giving the latter the opportunity to slay **R14**. This would cement **JackaL**'s cold-blooded mannerisms. With no remorse he was slaying a large portion of the playerbase and it was beginning to force players into action. **JackaL** would go behind **Larry's** back to steal enchanted golden apples, even offering **Larry** help to find the supposed thieves of such, with the latter unbeknownst to the true circumstances of the situation.

Other players such as **BitterNymph** and **Vampsy** dedicated themselves to peace and prosperity, with the latter creating a base in an Ancient City to cement his dedication and lack of attraction to the ongoing tensions.

As the End Fight rolled around, the tables turned once more. **JackaL** was the first to enter the portal. However, **BlueCyanide** dropped TNT through the portal, ending **JackaL**. This caused immediate distrust to **Larry**, who was teamed with **Blue** and **BellaStar001**. **JackaL** ordered **Jupiter** to kill their entire team, in which he was mostly successful, **BellaStar001** managed to escape using the end portal on only 2 hearts after a popped totem. **Bot** revived **JackaL**, cementing a mutual relationship between the pair, which would later become dangerous and destructive to the whole server.

For a short period of time there were cold tensions and silence on the battlefront of the server, being a week or more of relative silence within the server, where megabases were developed.

### Finale Arc

#### The Heart Cup (Server Ending)

**Bot** and **JackaL** decided to host The Heart Cup, which was a PvP tournament in which a win would result in a gained heart to the player who won. This would apply at the beginning of Revival Island, meaning that a few deaths for the winner were not as severe as they had two extra chances (One Death = Loss of Half a Heart **permanently**).

The tournament was sorted to have those with the highest hearts left fight the better PvPers, who all had lower hearts due to various circumstances. **TR1CK\_**, widely considered the best PvPer at the time, was eliminated in the second round by **boofy03**, who was believed to be relatively weak at PvP. This win shocked the whole server, however, it was a perfect advantaged for **Bot** and **JackaL** to prepare the ultimate attack.

The Heart Cup concluded with **Larry** winning the event against **Vampsy,** which was unexpected, as the predicted finale was to be either **JackaL vs TR1CK, TR1CK vs Vampsy** or **JackaL vs Vampsy**.

During the speeches giving at the Second Government Building's Stage, **JackaL** planted bombs in the building which sat near the stage. He possessed a full shulker of TNT at this time. He also spawned a wither at the same time as the detonation. Equipped with god gear, **JackaL** began fighting multiple players in various attacks, at times escaping using invisibility.

**Jupiter** notably killed the majority of the players at least once. **JackaL** unfortunately died to a wither whilst invisible, and he was trapped upon his respawn in an obsidian cage by the Pottomans (**including Bot as a cover**) and **TR1CK**. With no way to escape, **JackaL** saw no hope. However, unbeknownst to everyone else, **Bot** would run away from the meeting known as the **Geneva Convention** to free **JackaL**. Both escaped unscathed, however, **Bot** would death ban himself out of shame. **BitterNymph** was also death banned in unknown circumstances.

A few days later, the server ended with all players being lifted into the sky and falling to the ground, with the last few words being uttered as "See you on the island", and elusion towards the third season, known as Revival Island.
