The Old Bona Fide Party of Slightly Neglectful Self-Righteous Law Bringers

[Camaclue]

ah.
well, where is this conversation  going?

[Ungatt Trunn II]

I dunno. I am posting in UMD. It's quite scary there, outside of spa. Don't go there much.

[Krowdon]

Ahaha. Those things are funny. I miss those times. :(

Heh. The first post I did in the 7 vs Anime topic is me disliking something.

[Camaclue]

why don't we make a timeline on how you two (not me since I'm "new")changed in Spa, and maybe we can pinpoint where exactly you-and spa- changed the most.

[Ungatt Trunn II]

April 1st, 2008
I make my first post regarding a forum glitch not allowing me to select an avatar.

Early 2008
I discover that the Spa Room was best for me. I make my first few spam topics

Early-mid 2008
I begin to play the game less and post more. Wars with other spammers from the time are common and often include "smiley armies. The first attempts of Spa domination are made by me as the self proclaimed "king of everything".

Mid 2008
The prominent members of the future RSL started joining/posting actively in Spa.

Mid-Late 2008
I begin to post almost exclusively in Spa and more or less drop out of the game entirely.

Early 2009
All the spammers that made up the founding spammers of RSL are now active.

Early 2009
Daryn makes a clan based on Spam called Redwall: Spamlords.

Early 2009
RSL spreads to the forums, many spammers join it.

Early 2009
Posting begins to reach higher levels.

Early 2009
I join RSL and the first organized government is formed.

Mid 2009
The anime wars break out.

Mid 2009
The 30 second post rule is reduced to the 10 second post rule thanks to the Spammers

Mid-late 2009
Pippin and Firetooth attack spa, RSL is almost disbanded as a result of the absence of senior members. War is won at the last minute and disaster was averted.

Early 2010
Mods begin a crackdown in Spa as a result of the massive posting spikes.

Early 2010
Spammers begin fighting among themselves, some leave.

Early 2010
Dark ages.

Late 2010
Brief revival of RSL.

Early 2011
RSL has more or less dissolved, I have made many attempts up to this point to revive it.

Early 2011
Shael begins many programs in Spa to revive activity.

Mid 2011
I win the contest for Spa mod and offer my services to RSL.

Mid 2011
RSL once again dissolves, so I form my own Government, the Spa Federation.

Mid 2011
I am given Spa mod powers again, continue my work with the Spa Federation.

Mid 2011
Former Spamlords lash out against me, many others join me. Spa is gripped in war.

Late 2011
I win an election. Spa mod again.

Late 2011
Wars continue, Federation has support from many spammers and poster irregardless.

Late 2011
I am ousted from power, the Federation is disbanded. New elections start.

Early 2012
Sharpy takes power.

Early 2012
Nothing happens for a while, then sharpy begins to use his power.

Early 2012
I get emergency mod powers and the Mod wars begin

Early 2012
After long fighting, protests, exoduses, ect, Sharp steps down from power.

Early 2012
New elections begin. Plans for a revived Federation are made.


Note: I do not know how accurate that is, but that is the approximate order they happened in anyways.

mid-late 2011 seems to be when the former glory of Spa seemed to start showing prominent proof of itself starting to wear away.
mid-2009 early 2010 is when it actually starts.
imagine it like a castle. it's built to its full glory, and soon wars break out. the wars cause some damage, but it doesn't fully destroy it. soon, however, not as many people care for the castle and leave, causing more wear and tear. more wars, more damage, yet it seems like it will stand forever. but what about the inside? Inside, the bonds that kept the "castle" together is slowly coming apart, some faster than others. Eventually, new stones will be used to try and preserve the castle, but they don't fit in and are used to make a new one that looks different from the old castle. the keepers of the old castle want to bring it back to its former glory, but since there are less of them, it would either take longer or never happen. The New Castle is being kept up by new and old keepers alike, and when the old keepers go to try to help the old castle, the efforts are good, but not enough to save it. Eventually, the new castle is going to overshadow the old castle, and the keepers of the old castle could stay at the old one and just delay the inevitable, or help the new castle and maybe use some of the old ideas to help the new castle last longer.



this took longer tan expected.

In this case, the keeper set out with his band, blew the old castle to bits with TNT, and built a new castle with the remains.

That keeper was me and that new castle is the Federation.

[Camaclue]

...
the castle using the remains of the old castle would be pretty off, since the castle would be smaller and use smaller stones.
watching Sherlock, btw.

[Krowdon]

I saw the first two episodes of that. Because Netflix only has 3 episodes.

Then this metaphor is uncorrect! The Grand Federation will be quite a deal bigger.

[Krowdon]

With Giant walls and honey badgers.

[Camaclue]

and dynamite for insulation.

And Love for death with a side of basketball sneaks for krow.
