Events (Season 3)/Ninjology and Capitalism

Here you can find the stream summaries of all the streams from January 11, 2022, the first day of Season 3 of the Origins SMP, to March 20, 2022, the last day of streams before Shubble and Badlinu joined the server.

On January 11, 2022, the server reset with a new seed, and the members began exploring. On the first day, Wilbur Soot and TommyInnit helped Ninja found Ninjology, which claimed that all people should share their items. Despite Ninjology gaining many adherents after Ninja's death, several members set up shops, and Philza claimed ownership of the entire server.

## January 11, 2022

* Jack Manifold, Scott Smajor, Sneegsnag, Beautie, Niki Nihachu, Ranboo, and James Marriott all log onto the Season 3 server for the first time. They explore the spawn area and begin collecting materials and food.

	+ Scott explains that three builds have carried over from the Season 2 server: The Pube, Jack’s volcano, and Ranboo’s stronghold base.
	+ Jack escapes the Nether through the Nether portal at his volcano.
	+ Niki begins building an oak slab walkway across part of Spawn Lake for easier access to The Pube’s ladder.
	+ Both Scott and James attempt to prank Ranboo, who is hiding underground from the rain. Scott also steals from Jack's chests at his volcano.
	+ Scott and James notice a plains village behind the mountains surrounding Spawn Lake. Scott partly loots the village, taking many crops.

* Wilbur Soot, TommyInnit, and Ninja join. Wilbur and Tommy begin showing Ninja around the spawn area. Wilbur then calls everyone to The Pube and everyone shows off their abilities.

	+ Tommy pretends to Ninja that he built The Pube by himself.
	+ At The Pube, Ninja stares at Sneeg and Tommy tells Sneeg that Ninja called him “the g-word” (gnome). Sneeg gets on Ninja’s shoulder, freaking Ninja out, and hits him to death.
	+ Wilbur asks Ninja what his origin is. Ninja claims that he has the power of equality.
	+ All server members that are currently logged on gather at The Pube with the exception of Jack, who is unable to get there due to the rain.
	+ The server members all greet Ninja and show off their abilities. While introducing themselves, they all make fun of Tommy for having the ability to lay eggs.
	+ In order to show off his ability to jump higher than normal, James jumps off The Pube.
	+ Wilbur tells Ninja that tapping on the glass of Niki’s tank freaks her out. Ninja taps on the glass, and Niki runs out and jumps off The Pube. This prompts Ninja to ask why everyone is running away from him.
	+ Vini, Tommy’s “mod guy”, teleports Jack to The Pube. Ninja states that he admires how everyone on the server seems to be equals.
	+ When asked what his powers are again, Ninja answers that he has the power of friendship and equality, and that he can crank 90s. He then jumps off The Pube and admits that he has no powers.
	+ During the event, James begins a diary and writes “e”, “jack set himself on fire for ninja :)”, and “ninja yeet self and tommy follow”.

* The server members disperse, continue gathering materials, and begin establishing bases.

	+ Scott notices that a skeleton horse on the cliffside surrounding Spawn Lake was hit by lightning, spawning four skeleton horsemen.
	+ Several server members die while looking around spawn. James dies and loses his diary.
	+ James decides to become a cat scribe or librarian and builds a small hut outside the ring of mountains surrounding spawn.
	+ Scott heads to the highest mountain and begins hollowing it for his base.

* Ninja, Tommy, and Wilbur talk separately and found Ninjology.

	+ While Tommy and NInja attempt to make a farm for food, Wilbur dies several times (including once to the skeleton horsemen) and finds James’ diary.
	+ In the name of equality, Ninja and Tommy share their items and die together. Tommy aspires to become more like Ninja, and Wilbur proposes that they write down a list of “Ninja things”.
	+ Wilbur erases James’ diary entries and writes down “Ninja tenets”, a list of five rules orated by Ninja. While Wilbur scribes, Tommy sings the Halo theme song.
	+ Ninja claims that Tommy reminds him of a young Karl Marx. Wilbur says he knows a political ideology with tenets very similar to Ninja’s, but Ninja claims he came up with the tenets himself. Tommy coins them “Ninjology”.
	+ Ninja suggests that they build a tower so they can watch over everything, and they begin to gather materials.
	+ While gathering materials, Ninja demands to have Tommy’s items, tells him to call the other server members “plebeians”, and admits that he doesn’t know how to craft an axe because other people always craft one for him. Despite these actions not matching with Ninjology, Ninja tells Tommy not to ask too many questions.

* The other members talk about Ninjology and help build the Ninjology Tower. Technoblade also joins.

	+ Wilbur tells Sneeg, Beau, Niki, Ranboo, and Jack about Ninjology. He says that Ninjology reminds him of communism.
	+ Techno joins, and Beau reveals that he is a Rabbit. Beau, Wilbur, Niki, and Scott welcome him and admire his new skin.
	+ Jack heads to where Tommy and Ninja have started building the Ninjology tower and compares Ninjology to communism after Tommy calls Ninja the “supreme leader”. Tommy and Ninja yell at him, and Jack quickly backtracks.
	+ Tommy finds a goat, calls it “Ninjo”, and reminds Ninja that he and the goat are equal in Ninjology. However, Ninja kills the goat after it attacks him and lies to Tommy that he didn’t kill it.
	+ Wilbur, Tommy, Techno, Jack, Beau, Scott, and Niki attempt to help build the tower. Sneeg refuses to help because Ninja insulted him earlier at The Pube.

* Ninjology gains some traction despite its contradictions. However, Tommy accidentally kills Ninja.

	+ Tommy and Ninja explain to Jack that they are building the tower to watch over the people and ensure equality. Jack questions why only they have a tower, and Ninja counters that the tower belongs to everyone.
	+ Tommy, Ninja, Jack, and Techno take a screenshot together on top of the tower after finishing it while yelling “Ninjology”.
	+ Wilbur states that they were already equal prior to Ninjology, but Ninja whispers to Tommy that he should remember the rules and not trust Wilbur.
	+ On top of the tower, Tommy asks Ninja to give him a pat on the back, and Ninja hits him. Ninja then asks for a pat on the back in return, and Tommy accidentally hits Ninja off the tower. Ninja dies.

* As the members argue over Ninja’s death, Fragrance Man joins and holds an impromptu funeral for Ninja. Tommy continues spreading Ninjology.

	+ As Tommy retrieves Ninja’s items, Jack tells him that he has no right to Ninja’s items, and Wilbur claims that Ninja was an idiot for asking for a pat on the back.
	+ Techno admits that Ninja killed Ninjo earlier.
	+ Fragrance Man joins. He claims that he has COVID-19 and has lost his sense of smell, causing him to be just “Man”.
	+ Wilbur builds a simple grave for Ninja; it is still empty because he and Tommy haven’t gathered all of Ninja’s pieces yet. Fragrance Man delivers the last rites.
	+ Wilbur decides to shorten the Ninjology tower out of safety reasons, despite Tommy arguing that that is not what Ninja would have wanted.
	+ Although accused of betraying Ninja, Tommy teaches Scott, Techno, Jack, Sneeg, and Ranboo the Ninjology tenets.
	+ The members argue over the tenets: what is communal, how Tommy should be punished, and whether they should continue following Ninjology. Wilbur states that whoever touches an area first owns it, spawning confusion.

* The members return to building their own bases and gathering materials. James starts building the library and hiring employees.

	+ Ranboo reveals that his stronghold from Season 2 carried over, but lies that only the structure itself and none of his additions and items were preserved.
	+ James employs Wilbur at the library, and Wilbur reveals that he didn’t agree with Ninja’s beliefs.
	+ After talking with Tommy, James agrees to create a corner in the library called “A Tribute to Ninjology corner”.
	+ James plans to show Wilbur the hut outside of spawn, where he wants to build the library, but Wilbur argues that the library should be built within the ring of mountains.
	+ Wilbur warns Tommy to not let his devotion to Ninjology get out of hand, but Tommy claims that Wilbur is being disrespectful towards the recently deceased Ninja. However, the two agree to put the Ninjology tenets in the library.
	+ James employs Fragrance Man as a librarian. He reveals that he doesn’t expect anyone to visit the library, and that he is building the library because he doesn’t want to see anyone.
	+ James and Fragrance Man ask and partly bribe the other members into donating materials to the library, promising free access to future library books in return.
	+ Jack finds a skeleton horse and names it Mr. Bones.

* After the other members leave, Sneeg and Ranboo discuss their dislike of Ninjology.

	+ Ranboo reveals to Sneeg that his stronghold base carried over with all of its chests intact, so he has access to his items from Season 2, including enchanted books. He also claims that, by Ninjology, he owns the Nether roof.
	+ Sneeg agrees to help keep Ranboo’s base secret. He fears that the other members will react negatively if they find out that they don’t follow Ninjology, so Ranboo says that they should keep people guessing. He argues that they can easily manipulate the tenets for their own goals.
	+ Both of them agree that they will not share their possessions with the other members.
	+ Sneeg and Ranboo harvest scutes for turtle shell helmets, attempt to get a trident, and enchant some of their tools after getting a Mending villager. Sneeg leaves a turtle helmet at The Pube for Niki.

* Phil joins and declares himself the king of the server.

	+ When he joins, he is on fire because he self-immolated at the end of Season 2.
	+ He claims that, unrestrained, the other server members are too stupid. He decides to claim the server for his own because there is no one stopping him.
	+ Chat tells him about Ninjology, and Phil firmly disapproves. He states that cults only lead to danger.
	+ He plans to give everyone what they want so they will obey him in the future.

	+ He contacts Techno, asking him to log onto the server, and then 'milks' him for rabbit's feet while giving carrots and gold ingots in exchange.
