SSMP

# **// WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS PAST DRAMA! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK //**

The SSMP (Sauce's Survival Multiplayer) is a series of Minecraft servers with gimmicks run by Sauce. Originally made as a Minecraft realm for friends to play on and build to their heart's desires, it soon grew far beyond the scope of the earliest vision. As more new members joined, it attracted more trouble from players unaware of the unspoken rules shared amongst the original members.

## Season 1

SSMP Season 1 began on October 18th, 2020 and saw players inside a 16x16 border between two cliffsides. When everyone was let loose, everyone rushed to accomplish basic Minecraft necessities. While some focused on getting stronger, others like Ravelore began building a stage to which elections would be held: the primary gimmick of the season. Every four days, an election would be held, and those who would like to run for either President or Guard could make their case. Whoever got the most votes would hold that position in the server. The President could create laws that other players would have to follow and the Guard would enforce and veto those laws. To see more in-depth details about Season 1, click here.

## Season 2

SSMP Season 2 follows directly after Season 1 on November 17th, 2020. There is not much to say about this server other than the fact it lasted 9 minutes. To see how, click here.

## Season 3

SSMP Season 3 is described as the chill season, and it took place on November 17th, 2020 using the same world as Season 2. Season 3 began the theme of deadness seen throughout the world, with not many players taking part frequently. Beginning with a small number of players, all but Ravelore left after a barren few days. The progress was little to none, which left Ravelore to pick up the pieces. As Sauce and occasionally Orbit got onto the server, progress started picking up, and it led to a beautiful village being created. To see more, click here.

## Gifted SMP

SSMP Season 4 brought about the most popular and widely known servers of the SSMP. This server was known as the Gifted SMP, and promised to bring a new formula to the series: gifts. As described in the displayed image, "Gifts are powers given to us to enhance or alter our experience playing the game". One such example of this is the Gift of the Firewalker, which gave immunity and healing in lava and a harsh damaging effect in water. This system attracted many old players, and encouraged them to join in to see what they would get. 31 unique gifts were created for the Gifted SMP, and only a few went unused. This server saw the quality in gimmicks spike, as well as the amount of newcomers that would join in. Although this server is usually spoke of fondly, there is more.

## Hecatomb SMP

SSMP Season 5 began the trend of controversial gimmicks used in the SSMP. Beginning on August 29th, 2021, the Hecatomb SMP introduced a Survivor-style gimmick to the SSMP, where players would be eliminated every week. This was met with mixed feelings, but overall was not an issue until the actual eliminations took place. To see more, click here.

## Gifted SMP 2

SSMP Season 6 is quite possibly the most controversial season of the SSMP to date. The Gifted SMP 2 was talked about an announced immediately after Hecatomb's closure, yet did not release until December 17th, 2021.
