Jurann

2007-06-14T06:57:09Z

66.94.9.52:

'''Jurann''', also known as '''Jurann Foxtail''', '''Kandykoon''', and as '''Jurann Kraken''' on [[Second Life]], is a member of the [[furry fandom]]. As of 2007, his mate is [[K'sharra]].<ref>[http://jurann.livejournal.com/135789.html Art Pimpinz']. February 7, 2007 LiveJournal post by Jurann. Retrieved April 10, 2007. (Post protected, ''i.e.'' no longer public, as of April 17, 2007.)</ref>

== Background ==

Jurann first surfaced in [[furry fandom]] early in 1995 on [[YiffNet]] IRC. The name was computer-generated using a random fantasy name generator created by the player.

Jurann appeared on [[FurryMUCK]], [[TigerMUCK]], and [[Tapestries]] in early 1996. He has a Mucker bit on FurryMUCK and writes [[MUF]] programs. He also built and maintains the [[Garden of Eden]] on FurryMUCK.

== Fursona ==

Although the character started out as a [[fox]], Jurann changed species to a [[Spotted Hyena]] sometime in early 2000 due to changing personality and outlook that seemed to coincide with the [[species]] change. In September 2006 he changed species again, to [[raccoon]].<ref>[http://jurann.livejournal.com/115142.html New Species]. September 24, 2006 LiveJournal post by Jurann. Retrieved September 24, 2006. (Post protected, ''i.e.'' no longer public, as of April 17, 2007.)</ref>

== Furry projects ==

As webmaster and programmer, Jurann has created or been involved in several [[furry]] and furry-related projects, including [[FurCen.Org]], [[Furry Grand Central]], the [[Furry Database]], [[FurBuy]], and [[FuroticaMUCK]].

He has also contributed to the [[Fuzzball]] [[TinyMUCK]] server project, and he was once the Assistant Admin of [[FurNation]].

== Staff roles ==

Jurann staffed [[ConiFur Northwest]] for 5 years as the Director of Internet and Gaming. He was the Art Show Director of [[RainFurrest]].<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/rainfurrest/638.html Looking for a few Good Staffers!]. March 4, 2007 post by Jurann to RainFurrest LiveJournal community. Retrieved April 10, 2007.</ref>

== Controversy ==

=== Art bidding ===

In April 2007, Jurann "outbid a couple of people on" pieces in a convention [[art show]] "because he felt they would sell for higher at a different con. At the end of the con, he paid for the pieces and gave them back" to the artist, his mate K'sharra, "to sell elsewhere."<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/artists_beware/129848.html To quote the Hitchhiker's Guide...] April 10, 2007 post by [[K'sharra]] to the [[artists_beware]] community on [[LiveJournal]]. Retrieved April 11, 2007. (Post deleted as of April 17, 2007. [http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:BtIEYl2ZLy0J:community.livejournal.com/artists_beware Cached copy of Artists_Beware front page], retrieved by Google on April 14, 2007.)</ref>. In a public LiveJournal post, Jurann refered to "Two beautiful pieces she didn't sell".<ref>[http://jurann.livejournal.com/138747.html Schtuff]. April 8, 2007 LiveJournal post by Jurann. Retrieved April 11, 2007. (Post protected, ''i.e.'' no longer public, as of April 17, 2007.)</ref>

In a comment to K'sharra's post on [[Artists Beware]], Jurann stated
{{q|"I defended the pieces because I really like them and wanted them myself. But I'd also like to see them in a bigger art show where they'll get more attention. I suppose I made a boo-boo, because while I violated no policies of the art show, I'm being ethically challenged by all kinds of people for what I did."<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/artists_beware/129848.html#t2796856 Comment by Jurann] posted April 11, 2007 to artists_beware. Retrieved April 11, 2007. (Post deleted as of April 17, 2007.)</ref>}}

=== FurBid-SF suspension ===

Jurann also placed bids in an online auction by K'sharra, under a newly-registered account, Kandykoon. His bids were made in an increasing pattern over the course of three days, and were followed by two bids by two different people, one of which won the item.<ref>[http://www.furbid.ws/cgi-bin/auction/bidhistory.pl?item=29404 Bid History] of auction on [[FurBid-SF]]. Auction started April 6, 2007; ended April 11, 2007. Retrieved April 11, 2007.</ref>

On April 15, Jurann was suspended from FurBid-SF by [[Ayukawataur]] for a period of at least six months. Ayukawataur noted that his bids:
{{q|"Were in no way consistent with his bidding practice across the previous five auctions under the user name Jurann, nor the other two auctions under the name Kandykoon."}}
She also noted that:
{{q|"all interested parties [...] refused to acknowledge any action they made could possibly be wrong, either in the eyes of others, in accordance with the terms of use, or with the law."<ref>[http://ayukawataur.livejournal.com/47657.html A recent issue]. April 15, 2007 LiveJournal post by [[Ayukawataur]]. Retrieved April 16, 2007.</ref>}}
