Like any Minecraft server Purity has its fair share of Badman accusations these days the mod team can’t make a sandwich without someone accusing them of spawning in the bread and creative and leaking the Harm’s coordinates to their stomach but despite many recent accusations being false or even when true relatively underwhelming looking Far back into the server’s history reveals some actions taken by certain staff team members that if they had happened in the modern day would have caused a server-wide riot today we’ll be looking at one specific Beast that resulted in two instances of major admin abuse To start our story we arrive at a base started in June of 2019. the pillar of autumn the pillar of autumn was a beast started by the player’s Master Chief and mean in June 2019. based off of the pillar of autumn a ship of the same name from the Game series Hilo Chief had chosen to start the base of the coordinates 117 kx-117kz due to Master Chief’s Spartan tag number 117 although it was only about 100 blocks long its design of narrow corridors left plenty of Spears for decoration and led to a mirrors-like interior full of memorabilia and player Heads from their group Erebus Corps and their friends during the building of this piece both Chief and me and would be promoted to moderators of the server back in 2019 less than a year after Purity had launched the rules and regulations around what a moderator could or should do were much less clear Than they are today in modern Purity moderators have a very clear list of things that they aren’t allowed to do griefing instigating PVP Etc and although these rules still existed instances of admin abuse would be taken far less seriously of course there are limits to what a moderator can do with Their pars mostly ending at the ability to teleport two and spectate other players to ensure they aren’t breaking the rules so when Chief being who he is decided he wanted to push the limits of the server he went to one of the only people with more direct server power than him Server admin nuns nuns was an admin for quite some time from the beginning of Purity but at this time six months after the pillar of autumn had began construction she had gotten quite tired of Purity and its obscene culture and had decided to retire from the staff team and therefore the server altogether Sensing an opportunity Chief approached Nuns with his plan he asked her if she would do something that had never been done before for any reason and world edit the entire pillar of autumn beers to another location in the world there has been some speculation if dumpster dogs had anything to do with the Situation after all their entire faction did come to visit the pillar of autumn previously however it really was just Chief wanting to test the limits of what he could get away with on the server nuns had nothing to lose as she was quitting the server anyway so she moved The entire abuse all the way from its original location at 117k117k all the way to 420k minus 345k a snowy region more than halfway into a different quadrant of the world map as the ship was Airborne nothing remains of it at its original location without taking a look around the area You wouldn’t even realize anything had been modified so obviously using world edit on a no hack no exploit Anarchy server is pretty bad do keep in mind though as I said this was a different time for the server but what if I were to tell you it gets worse In pillar of Autumn’s new location EC gained a few new members and were doing well with two moderators on a bunch of well-known players such as fairy Faye and for alligators who you might remember from this video however in the background things were not all sunshine and rainbows former moderator Doug one Also known as the player who held on to the original dragon egg for the longest time had known since his time as moderator that nuns had moved the base across the map and strongly opposed the lack of repercussions for anyone in EC for the ACT Doug’s initial promotion to Moderator was controversial in its own right as it was the first time an active Griefer had been promoted to being staff after demoting he took matters into his own hands on New Year’s Day 2020 dog’s grip Valhalla would perform the New Year’s Day Massacre griefing three large notable group bases in one night That topic could be a video in and of itself but notably among these pieces the pillar of autumn fell too frazzle 53 another server moderator had warned Master’s chief that Valhalla was coming for their base but there is nothing teeth could do about it he was Binded by staff rules to not move his items or alert the other group members Chief could only tell Mian the only other staff member within EC before the red began they tried to work out what had gone wrong whilst the pillar of autumn was being destroyed me And presumably in a moment of anger had banned Doug one for raiding as ex-staff not a minute later the server owner penguin unbanned Doug as there was no proof that what doug did was illegal although active staff members count grief retired staff were allowed to so Long as they did not leak the Beast themselves EC weren’t certain how their beers had been compromised but they had a couple theories immediately they pointed their fingers at Fae if you’ve watched by Varden vs Valhalla video you’ll know why Faye has a history of leaking bases so After the rear had taken place she immediately jumped on a Discord call and streamed her entire Discord DMS to the group having cleared her the rest of the group went one by one to try and work out theories on what might have happened eventually the staff team had to take Action to discern whether or not the BS had been legitimately fined while questioning Valhalla members they heard all kinds of excuses initially they had tried to blame Fey but after realizing the EC had already cleared her they then claimed that winterborne a member of Valhalla known for his technical Knowledge had triangulated the base coordinates from screenshots chat logs and block rotations block rotations for those who don’t know are the common term for a type of coordinate exploit in layman’s terms certain block textures such as grass are rotated in specific directions to make the textures look More natural when viewed side by side however these rotations are consistent no matter what the world’s it is meaning that certain programs can pinpoint the exact location a screenshot was taken from when the correct rotations of blocks are plugged in if it had been true that winterbourne had used block Rotations to find the pillar of Autumn this would have been the first known inst of their usage on Purity I think that Valhalla most likely would have ragged about beforehand knowing that this hadn’t occurred on top of how Valhalla couldn’t provide any evidence of the rotations actually being Used the staff team discarded the excuses that Valhalla had come up with then Chief remembered something one day while building in the pillar of Autumn’s new location Doug one had teleported to him in spectator mode this wasn’t normal as while it was perfectly ordinary for a staff member to spec hit Someone if they trip any of the servers anti-chief Flags Chief was also a staff member and knew that nobody at the pillar had tripped any of the flags Doug specked hitted briefly and then left with no explanation furthermore over a month later on February the 6th 2020 a group of players That would become known as the chadlets had split from Valhalla shortly after this word somehow got around to the staff team that Doug one had leaked the pillar of arm though it is still unclear who exactly of either group had shared this information with this in mind on Top of lack of evidence to the contrary the server’s owner penguin had to step in and permanently ban dug one from the server for leaking sensitive information now while this might sound convincing on paper let me tell you that this was a divisive decision for the community it Got so bad that frazzle 53 chose to step down from being a moderator due to a disagreement of how the whole situation was handled although the staff team’s theory for Doug’s licking was convincing there was still no direct proof that dog one had actually leaked the base not Even The Insider’s admittance of Doug’s guilt was backed up by any actual hard evidence well I’m not really one for speculation until now you would tend to hear from even the core of Valhalla members that although it’s widely agreed upon that Doug linked the base coordinates himself Doug never actually admitted it not even months after he had been banned from the server not until today that is if anyone had any doubts consider the record set straight so there you have it early Purity was certainly plagued by its fair share of admin abuse but like I’ve said several Times already I urge you to keep in mind that this was a very different time to Modern Purity rules were still being established and after dogs ban the staff team reconsidered the rules for ex-staff members to only being allowed to read bases that were created after the Demotion if you want my personal tick the staff is pretty good most of the time and they tend to make the right call on most situations with a couple notable exceptions but hey thoughts for another video for now I hope you enjoyed like And subscribe if you can and I’ll See you all in the next one foreign Video Information

Anarchy and admins are two things that typically don’t go together. Purity Vanilla, a vanilla anarchy server, hinges on the balance of pure anarchy and controlled admin-regulated behaviour. And, as with any entity expected to enforce justice and dish out punishment, the powers bestowed unto admins of the server can sometimes be used in unintended ways.
