Plugin Help Essentials is broken, Need help ASAP

So I recently was working with essentials and kitadder when all of a sudden essentials only showed two kits, I went to the plugins folder and found this http://pastebin.com/08fjSLYY and then when I started the server it changed the essentials to a template. I don't know what to do with it and I can't find what is wrong with it.

 

Your server is telling you what is wrong, read your logs. They have yml parsing errors. Any general yaml parser throws this error:



Its an unexpected character where a 'string data value' is expected - an ampersand by itself, doing nothing...
Change the join and quit messages temporarily to something that isn't unparseable (an amp is a special character that breaks the parser without quotes..) like simple alphanumerics, and


and it no longer is unparseable.
That is the first step - it must be parseable technically. Second phase is, do the technically correct format changes result in a logical imparsability for the plugin, and you will see that too in your LOG file during the startup sequence, if it chokes on a bad value/construction the plugin cant intepret. If it fires up without parsing errors choking on the file... then its a matter of 'did the change i made do what i wanted done, or did i flub something'

 

@Boomer It works now thank you for your help!
