SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN

SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN joined Purity vanilla at the very end of 2020, just before New Year's. He is known for being one of the most prominent content creators of 2021, one of the funniest lolcow's of 2021, and for living in his car and using McDonald's wifi to play on Purity Vanilla.

## 2021

#### Escaping Spawn

Unlike most newer players, he made it out of spawn without dying. SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN (usually abbreviated SSJN) hopped from abandoned base to griefed farm, switched between overworld and nether, and moved cautiously throughout the server until he settled at one of the many glitched chunks found throughout Purity Vanilla. After stocking up on food, blocks, and survival gear, SSJN embarked into never-before-loaded chunks to establish a base.

#### Kitty Cat Castle

This first base would be dubbed Kitty Cat Castle, as he intended to tame every breed of cat and feature them extensively around the base. It was here that he would spend the first half of 2021. SSJN lulled in playing for a time during spring, and when he returned, he abandoned this base to start fresh elsewhere. This base would be griefed by Pumpkin near the end of 2021. The grief happened 24 hours after SSJN freely shared a single screenshot with domagawha on the Purity Vanilla Discord, however, it was later confirmed to have been found randomly and the coords given to Pumpkin beforehand; the posting of the screenshot within a day of the grief was purely coincidental.

#### Queue Video

SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN became one of the earliest firestarters reenvigorating the Purity Vanilla content creator community with his release of his Queue video. In it, he explores various locations around the server, showcasing both the staff's attention to detail as well as the fun shared between members of the queue community. He would go on to make connections with other past, present, and future content creators to help facilitate a renaissance of purity content.

#### Wet City

SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN's second base was an experiment and a challenge to himself: build a base underwater. He went closer to spawn in hopes of being found while actively basing underwater, but he was never found at the time of basing. He named this base "Wet City." SSJN invited godsredempt to visit the base at some point. Eventually, SSJN took a hiatus from the server, and upon returning, decided to start fresh elsewhere, abandoning the base after it was "only about 25% done."

#### 2021 Temp Map

SSJN joined at the start of the temp map while the Purity staff prepared to update the main world to 1.17. He filmed his time with the meme group InkLizards and captured both the experience of playing on a temp map and being in a voice chat with numerous other Purity Vanilla players at the same time.

After the Temp Map, SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN was one of the earliest players to obtain new blocks such as Moss and Glowberries, which he then was the first player to spread around spawn.

#### Anarchy Man

SSJN debuted the beginning of a larp series dubbed "Anarchy Man" in Fall 2021. In this series, he plays himself and has been magically transported to Purity Vanilla, where he struggles to find his way home. He has thus far only released a single episode of this series and has indicated the series is on indefinite hiatus.

## 2022

#### The Bannermen

SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN founded The Bannermen shortly after New Year's. He claims this group "will be the greatest group of 2022" and will "revolutionize Purity Vanilla in 2022." So far, a concrete member list is unknown besides himself, and the purpose of the group, as stated by SSJN, is "larping, making banners, placing banners, and maybe someday doing business to get paid to make banners and place banners." He made a base for the group, but really it was a meme "base" that consisted entirely of lavacasts.

#### World 8

    SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN left his Bannermen meme base in February, venturing out near the corner of the Nether to build a base that he described as more of an "art project." He founded this base on Valentine's Day, and finished his starter hut in time for Penguin to log on to the server and teleport to him on-request, before the server owner left to place Valentine's Day flowers around spawn. This base was to be entirely within the Nether, and over the year he planned to invite select builders out to contribute something and enjoy the opportunity to express themselves in an uncommon setting. The first player to be invites was M4ximus, who built a tower. The second player invited, Bella\_Terra, initially expressed interest in contributing a build, but would eventually betray their friendship and grief the base.

#### The Future

SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN now focuses on creating Purity Vanilla content. Throughout 2022, SSJN has uploaded many videos. He has started a new series called "AFKNQ" where he sits afk in the queue server, recording the players and events acting out around him. SSJN also released a video highlighting the fun many players shared on the 2022 Temp Map, which was hosted over a weekend while Penguin updated the main server to 1.18.2. SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN has also made miscellaneously-themed videos regarding the server, including videos showcasing spawn and interviews with other players. He has also unveiled a Soundcloud, displaying original music he has made, including raps produced for other Purity Vanilla content creators as well as music composed for his YouTube videos.

## Personality

SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN is crazy and/or a troll. He exhibits behavior on very extreme ends of the spectrum; sometimes, he rages at people over perceived slights, other times he preaches "Love Everybody" and has genuine, uplifting conversation with others. He lives in his car and uses McDonald's wifi to connect to the Minecraft server. Sometimes he will join voice chat in the Purity Vanilla discord and rap (largely Kanye West songs), usually interrupting the conversation. SSJN insists building is the most prestigious activity one can do in Minecraft and doesn't care about PvP, seeing himself as an "artist" whose medium consists of building on the server itself, videos and music made related to the server, and to some degree his various larps. He also encourages and helps others create Minecraft-related art, be that YouTube videos, music, drawings, or other forms of expression. SSJNSSJNSSJNSSJN is one of the Purity Vanilla chess players, too.
