Alpinian Among Urnu-Arrak

## The Story Begins

During late September in the world of **Rathnir**, when The Rathnirian Yimmu-Audal's capital Urnu-Arrak was still referred to as Shyr-Arrak, after the name of the **Jagdasian** capital, and when the server still used the towny system, the Mayor of Amos, **architecture2** had invited a new player to join: **Alpinian** who through this also gained access to the Imperial Capital Urnu-Arrak.

At first **Alpinian** seemed like any normal player. However, suspicious activity by his part was soon noticed...

## Kinda Sus

Once, on just another day in Urnu-Arrak, the former **Jagdasian Emperor** StoryStudio logged on. When checking the underground community storage room, he noticed that all items of any valuables were gone.

He checked his own private storage, and too saw that any items of value were gone.

Soon other Yimmu-Audal players noticed that their own private belongings were gone too. Such as several double chest fulls of baked potatoes farmed by **Vulaarzein**.

After this discovery and some talks in the national chat, an emergency meeting was called on discord where all present online members attempted to make sense out of the situation.

Nobody knew who had stolen the items, and how they were able to steel so much. Infact, so many items were gone including several stacks of diamonds, iron, gold, coal, redstone, endless amounts of enchanted armor and food. Saddles, horse armor, name tags, weapons, any rare items, anything that could be considered rare owned by anybody in Urnu-Arrak was gone.

But the council used logic.

Firstly, they knew that whoever had taken the items must have been online within the last three hours, as before then all the items were still there. And secondly, they knew that it couldn't have been anyone they trusted. They knew that the only player which could not be trusted and was a member of Yimmu-Audal at the time were **Alpinian** and two other players.

However, **Alpinian** was the only player online within the last three hours. Soon memories started to emerge in the group, as some players remembered how **Alpinian** was snooping around, and supposedly said he was taking cobblestone from the storage room.

After this deduction the council had agreed. It was **Alpinian** who was the only player capable of the theft. But another question remained - how did he steal so much items, and where were they all now?

As Alpinian was not on discord at the time, he was banished from the discord server to make sure he didn't know that he had been figured out.

## The Next Day

The next morning, StoryStudio had been thinking about what happened.

He used the dynmap to check who was online, and saw that **Alpinian** was online at the time, and had for whatever reason been in a very far eastern area of **Rathnir** in the middle of the snow biome, near a town called **SnowyCoonville**.

StoryStudio concluded that **Alpinian** may be using that far away location as a place to keep the stolen items. So StoryStudio decided to go the Eastern Snow Biome, and to do so as soon as possible while **Alpinian** was still there. He had to do so fast, however **Alpinian** was more than several thousand blocks away.

So StoryStudio decided to randomly try something to see if it would work... He entered the command to teleport to **SnowysCoonville**, and to his surprise... the teleport was left public.

When StoryStudio teleported to **SnowyCoonville, Alpinian** had already logged off. But the suspicions were confirmed because the only things which **SnowyCoonville** consisted of was a netherportal, and a giant array of barrels. Barrels which, as StoryStudio suspected, contained all of the stolen items.

StoryStudio contacted another Yimmu-Audal player online at the time, **Gray\_Is\_Yes,** (now the Count of Eldal-Adadi within Theios-Essukdal) and informed him about the discovery. Soon **Gray\_Is\_Yes** teleported to the location to check things out, and the two players waited, hidden behind the nether portal of **SnowyCoonville** for **Alpinian** to log on.

During the waiting period, StoryStudio contacted the diety Enfys through discord, asking if Yimmu-Audal could declare war on **SnowyCoonville** due to the suspicions, which was needed because it was impossible to declare war on towns not part of nations.

While **Story** was talking to **Enfys** on a discord V.C, **Alpinian** finally logged on. **Story** saw that **Alpinian** was wearing no armour and was checking through the barrels. **Story** killed **Alpinian** and saw the the latter dropped **Story**'s fortune 3 pickaxe with the exact durability he remembered it having.

After this, **Alpinian** pretended to be outraged. He private messaged **Story**, complaining about being killed for no reason.

**Story** informed **Alpinian** that he stole his pickaxe, which **Alpinian** denied, claiming he had "grinded for six hours" to get it.

The exchange went something like this:

"LITERALLY WHY?"

"You stole my pickaxe and all our stuff"

"I did not!"

"Yes you did, this is literally my pickaxe with the exact durability"

"You killed me for no reason. I'm telling the mods. I grinded six hours for this."

*Little did he know the mods were already told, and Enfys was already checking all of the barrels to see the myriads of stolen goods while on V.C with Story.*

"No you didn't"

"Are you autistic?"

"Yes." *Replied Story (StoryStudio does not actually fall on the autism spectrum, rather the response was intended to cease conversation, and the conversation did cease.)*

Shortly after, seeing that the allegations against **SnowyCoonville** were proven, and that the town was essentially just a place to keep the stolen goods, to much of **Alpinian's** outrage, Enfys disbanded the town.

Enfys then helped StoryStudio and **Gray\_Is\_Yes** to transport all of the stolen items back to Urnu-Arrak by helping them teleport back and forth. **Alpinian** kept complaining and interfering during this time. He tried to repeatedly re-steal the items by teleporting to the Urnu-Arrak storage room and running away with the items as **Story** and **Gray** were putting them in. He was killed repeatedly during this process.

\*When Enfys first teleported to the scene, StoryStudio didn't recognize him and killed him while Enfys was in survival mode, a rare sight. In this way StoryStudio acquired the first Enfys head on the server.

## How It Ended

Eventually in his outrage at being exposed and his repeated killings, as well as Enfys' cooperation with Yimmu-Audal, **Alpinian** referred to Enfys as the n-word. Which was another piece of evidence pointing to potential racist beliefs given a discord-chat quote of theirs. For this **Alpinian** was perma-banned.

Enfys advised that Yimmu-Audal uses plots to increase security.

The incident also facilitated the switch to Lands instead of Towny, as the discussion to implement Lands instead took place during the item transfers.

Eventually all the items were brought to Urnu-Arrak and were safely deposited across secure storage.
