Epicsmp

Epic SMP is a private modded Minecraft survival-multiplayer server that features many popular YouTubers, streamers and internet influencers (see here). It was created by Matt Watson, announced by Matt on Twitter on January 12, 2021, and officially opened on January 16, 2021. The idea behind EpicSMP stems from a comment from Matt in a SuperMega let's play of Minecraft in which he states he wishes he had a server full of his friends to just hangout and play Minecraft on.

Day One - January 16th, 2021
 The server began on January 16th, 2021, with a large group of active players at spawn, the first few of which are personally greeted by Matt Watson himself upon a podium. A few players also step up onto the podium to speak to the growing crowd of players, with a notable quote coming from Ted Nivison, who insists that he will never betray any of them. Ted also finds The Void this day, and is teleported to another dimension (more info in hyperlink). Players soon disperse onto their own journeys, some grouping up with familiar friends and others straying alone.

Within the first day of the server, many players had already formulated different alliances, groups, and even claims of land for themselves, as well as substantial technological advances and the promise to enhance spawn in the future. Twomad attempts to "speedrun" Minecraft on the server, terrorizing several members and accumulating likely one of the highest death counts on the first day. Alsojakob determined his goal of the server is to collect each member's skull and place it on armor stands. As he puts the head on the armor stand, he writes a rhyme for each player. Ted and Slimecicle decide to live together in a crevice in the side of a mountain, which was then named the Palcove at Mt. Cool. Ross, Jaiden, Rav, and ModestCube formed a group named "PP PooPoo Squad" (PPPP Squad for short) and immediately entered the Nether, finding the first diamonds on the server. They also discovered that the proximity chat coodinates of the overworld and the Nether overlap, leading to Ross' disembodied voice instructing Jakob to kill Matt Watson. Jschlatt is building a wall after attempting to kill Ryan for looking at him funny. After finding his first diamonds and looking for other players, William enters a cave with a sign that says "enter this cave to be immediately cancelled" but quickly leaves before being caught.

Day Two - January 17th, 2021
 CaptainSparklez joins in on the second day. No other notable events occur outside of Patrick of PodcastAboutList claiming that he “bossed up,” however a strange relationship between Jschlatt and Weston Koury is beginning to emerge. More buildings are built at spawn. Ted Nivison closed down AlsoJakob's Popeye's by pulling a prank that his shop did not meet the health conditions of Mt. Cool. Throughout the day, Ted spoke unknown words in a deep, demonic voice. Many think that Ted's actions may be connected to The Void, due to the fact that he jumped into it the day before, claiming that he thought that it was "only a dream".

Day Three - January 18th, 2021
 January 18, 2021, FoolishKia is the first confirmed to have peed during Don't Pee January 2021. A casual "pee break" is mentioned on her stream, before she left briefly. She returned, reminding chat to stay hydrated. Chaos ensued.

After William Osman had finished setting up his new machine for his chicken company, he wanders around to hand out free samples and comes across Ted Nivison and Slimecicle working on renovations due to Slimecicle blasting intense music. Ted introduces William to the palcove by stating once again "We will never betray you." Slimecicle tricks William into pressing every decorative button throughout the palcove, telling him he will find a secret room if he presses the right one, while continuing to make more buttons and placing more to keep William looking. Ted leaves to answer a call from Postmates, while Slimecicle receives multiple free samples of William's chicken. Slimecicle becomes addicted to William's chicken and William offers to show him the machine that automates the chicken cooking process. William reveals to Slimecicles that Jaiden cofounded the company by providing him the initial chicken eggs, and the company is named KFC. He also states that his ethics board told him people will not care about the suffering of the chickens he cooks, as long as they taste good, and then quickly follows up by stating he has no ethics board. Slimecicle points out the building is not to code, and reveals he was actually hired by The Colonel from KFC to investigate William's business. William asks if he would be allowed to continue business as long as he renamed his business to "FCK", and Slimecicle says it would be acceptable as long as William gave him more chicken to sate his addiction. William bribes Slimecicle with more chicken, and Slimecicle asks William to beat him up so he can continue to eat it. Slimecicles asks William what FCK stands for, and after getting 20 seconds to think about it William says "Fried Crispy Chicken". Happy with the results and the free chicken he received, Slimecicle tells The Colonel that William's business is in the clear. Slimecicle then asks if he can invest in FCK, and after repeatedly handing over 10 chicken to each other through investments and free samples, Slimecicle buys 4 shares of the company, but tells William he bought 5 shares as William was not paying attention to how many deals they had done. Slimecicle then buys one more share after finding out he is close to being equal owners of the company with William, trying to become majority share holder. William then hires an accountant that is actually him in disguise to continue deals with Slimecicle, telling Slimecicle that he owns 1/5 of the company, and if he continues to buy more shares, his ownership will increase by one each time, into 1/6, then 1/7, etc. Slimecicle bribes the accountant with some chicken to get to 1/8s ownership of the company. Slimecicle then tells William that his accountant was planning on stealing his chicken. William says he will have to fire the accountant, then pulls out an axe and asks if Slimecicle had ever had human flesh before and if he knew where he could find a new accountant.

Ted Nivision shows up, and Slimecicle, trying to hide his addiction to chicken from Ted, jumps off the top of the factory into the valley below. Ted starts to beat up William before William catches Ted up to speed about Slimecicle owning part of William's company. Ted destroys William's elevator for him betraying Slimecicle, leading to William accidentally flooding his own apartment. Slimecicle comes across Rav, who had just farted. Rav shows Slimecicle the Uncancellable Valley where he is starting his new business the Unproblematic Brothel.

In CrankGameplays's POV on the same day, strange events begin to occur. Ethan, along with Eddy Burback and Critchy, sabotage the large tower that is meant to imitate their own. This tower was made by Michaelmcchill. They are later snitched on, though it is not known how everyone else found out. Ethan tours the SMP, including the drill, the Industrial District and the factories within it, with SwaggerSouls, Jschlatt, Gus Johnson, Eddy, and Critchy. Swagger pulls a 'gun' (which was actually an extendo grip) at one point and things quickly escalate. After a fistfight on the elevator, everyone scatters. They later regroup and head to the palcove, led by Ted Nivison. Ethan dies there, and when he arrives back at the Palcove, Ted mentions Ethan not having a 'case'. Ted then hypnotizes Ethan to not remember the last 5 minutes. He had a voice filter on, and the Void music played. Gus and Eddy later encounter Slimecicle and ask him about the strange encounter with Ted, Slimecicle explains that Ted has had recurring events of ominous power after being shot in the head by a skeleton. It is also implied by Slimecicle that this occurrence has a connection to the power of The Void.

Gus and Eddy later solve a territorial dispute between Meowriza and F1NN5TER and Ted and Slimecicle over Mt. Cool, a compromise is agreed on with the creation of a border between the two conflicting groups.

Day Four - January 19th, 2021
 Weston Koury challenges Markiplier20000 (Maxmoefoe) to a fight after being chased and claiming Max had taken Jschlatt hostage. After Weston eventually defeats Max in combat, Max claims that he was corrupted by "Darkiplier" and Weston had lifted the curse by killing him.

Caleb Pitts claims to be a super-villain and names Patrick as his side-kick, Both of them go around committing "evil acts" such as digging holes behind doors of people's houses.

Day Five - January 20th, 2021
 Slimecicle gets forced into slavery by SwaggerSouls and Jschlatt under the guise of contractual internship. Slimecicle quickly escapes and comes in contact with Gus Johnson, Eddy Burback, and Dolan Dark, who quickly scam him into another contract scam run by Critchy. The contract officially changes his name to Pudge. SwaggerSouls eventually finds and kills Slimecicle/Pudge, Gus and Eddy agree to Swagger to not tell anyone about the murder. Slimecicle/Pudge is put back into SwaggerSoul's captivity. Gus and Eddy quickly fail to meet their promise to Swagger and tell Ted Nivision about everything that happened, theorising mid-way through conversation that Ted is consumed by The Void, Ted decides to join them and confront SwaggerSouls. Meanwhile, Selma reveals a planned heist of SwaggerSouls to Pudge, referring to SwaggerSouls as a "capitalist pig" that is unfairly taxing them.

Gus and Eddy lie to Swagger that Slimecicle committed an act of vandalism that they themselves did and Slimecicle tells Ned about Selma's plan to rob Swagger. Ted and Slimecicle burn the contract and begin renegotiating terms with SwaggerSouls.

Eddy Burback, Critchy, and CrankGameplays join later to work on Boomer Island. Critchy puts another mega tree on top of her house. Patrick and Nibiru Truth come to Boomer Island and invite its inhabitants to the Jollibee in the Suck Shack. Ethan asks Cameron and Patrick what type of oil they use since he is allergic to peanuts, and they respond saying they use the “hottest, wettest oil” while refusing to answer if it is peanut oil or not. Once inside the Jollibee, Jaiden Animations and ModestCube join Eddy, Ethan, and Critchy. After continuing to ask what type of oil they use, a fire suddenly breaks out in the Jollibee and everyone inside discovers that blocks have been placed outside the room which leads to Trevor and Jaiden's deaths.

Later on Jschlatt negotiates a tense business deal with the inhabitants of Boomer Island, which involves Ethan seducing Schlatt with his maid costume. Shortly after Schlatt leaves, SwaggerSouls comes to Boomer Island and uses his dragon on Ethan, which kills him and burns down part of his maid cafe. Swagger’s actions anger Schlatt who proceeds to kill his dragon and take his top hat.

As retribution for Swagger’s actions, a deal is made to get Ethan his own pet. Swagger offers him a dragon, but Ethan is not interested due to the fire hazard. He is then offered a fighting rat, and Ethan accepts. Ethan, Schlatt, and Swagger head to the rat area and Ethan is given cheese to tame the rat. After an excessive amount of time and cheese, the rat becomes Ethan’s pet, who he names Remi after Ratatouille. (Though his name is spelled Remy in the movie.) Unfortunately, later in the day Remi the rat drowns and is given a funeral in the Edwood forest, with a wonderful and moving eulogy given by Ethan.
