SpikeEmperor

SpikeEmperor is a member of World DOM. Known for his political career, development of a modernized court system in World DOM, his leadership of LHTP, and opposition to UPF/TfD government, he is the leader of the Free DOM Liberation Front.
Before his entrance to World DOM, Spike was a staff member in AOCQ. Eventually, Robbur joined the discord server through unknown means and eventually started a conversation with Spike in DMs. Rob invited Spike to World DOM, where he immediately troll-larped as a communist upon joining, making both Arl and Nort mad at him.
=== Early Political Career ===
Spike eventually saw a post by Justin in the debates channel, which outlined the 12 point system of the DNC. Spike would become fond of this agenda and after expressing his desire to join the party, he was invited to it by Jabrox. He then started a news network, the Free Coalitionary, which was at the time the only DNC-leaning news network in World DOM. In the mini-conflict between DNC commissioners Mahl and Theft over who to support between Mario and Block, Spike sided with Mario and Mahl. Mario would go on to win election. Meanwhile, Spike himself would run for office, winning election against Seat 5 UPFer Malcolm. Spike would show himself as a moderate DNCer, even later creating a movement called the Third Theory which promoted moderate political views. However, Spike then ran into some trouble that would have dire consequences for him.
=== The Ban ===
Spike would be shown to have known of a raid on World DOM and have done nothing about it. This was revealed by screenshots from a then-unknown whistleblower, later revealed to be NeonSev, Spike was banned from World DOM, however, would remain minimally involved with the community during his short ban. He had gotten an anti-rob document sent in World DOM, which would be regarded as a joke. Eventually, Spike admitted his guilt and was allowed back into World DOM.
=== Return to Politics and DOM ===
Spike, upon being unbanned, would immediately rejoin politics, joining the then-small party KWDA. He lost by a landslide to his opponent in the council race, Hokage, but took it nicely and actually endorsed and voted for Hokage by the end of the election. It was obvious Spike's political career was waning harshly, however, he was not done. In the next elections, after leaving the KWDA, he won against Arl with 57% of the vote. The next election, however, he was easily defeated by Mahl and was now politically dead.
=== Period of Occasional success ===
At this point, Spike was politically dead, as he attempted to revive his career by joining the UPF and running as an independent in CM elections. But then, he managed to get back into the DNC after the UPF was disbanded. Spike at first still had no success, but later won with 73% of the vote against Spring in a council race. The next elections, though, he was ousted, and after losing favor with Mahl was practically censured from the DNC and kicked out of the party.
=== Time as a KWDA member ===
Spike, after spending some time as an independent, would join the KWDA, not winning any council races as KWDA but still being an active voter inside of KWDA primaries. His time in the KWDA was marked by feuds with Nortists in the party, as he supported more moderate policies. His time in the KWDA was ultimately uneventful, as he was kicked out of the party amid the December Civil War.
=== December Civil War and RLC involvement ===
Spike would, after spending some time apolitically commenting on the turn of events, support Pot in the December Civil War. He would not take any major political actions during this period, acting as a minor supporter of the RLC. However, once Robbur returned and practically defeated the RLC through a wave of popular support, Spike was eventually admitted into the RLC. As a member of the RLC, Spike supported a peace with Rob, eventually leaving the RLC once it was obvious the organization had ran out of steam and was no longer wanting to become peaceful with World DOM.
=== Return to Politics ===
Although after the December Civil War politics were for some time suspended, they eventually returned and Spike joined the Change Party. Spike would emphazise his support of Staff reform and accountability, as well as the crushing of the establishment KWDA system. Spike won election to Seat 6 of the council against Oliver, with 59% of the vote.
=== CM Term ===
Spike would end up winning the Community Managership on his 2nd attempt in a row. The first time, Spike won handily with around 2/3rds of the vote against Nort, who was disliked by both his party and outsiders. However, Nort then declared himself King, causing a period of political instability which resulted in the creation of the short lived and ill fated World DOM Front. This was a temporary phase of direct democracy through an elective player's assembly of sorts, but it lasted for a tiny amount of time and eventually died due to disagreements between Robbists and Mahlists. This resulted in another CM race, which Spike won against Nort, again by a fairly large margin but not nearly as much. Spike's CM term was fairly stable and not much happened during it. Bot verification was pushed through but fell into irrelevancy after the next election. The progress on the prosecution of Spring was greatly advanced, hurting Spring's reputation greatly, although Spike was out of office before the investigation concluded, letting Spring avoid a potentially permanent ban by just a hair. Spike lost to NeonSev and took on a more supportive role in politics after that.
=== Leaving World DOM ===
Spike left World DOM's discord community in late May. He attended SSUs, and maintained contact with some WDers, although he did not ever say when he would rejoin. However, he ended up rejoining in September 2023.
=== Rejoining World DOM ===
Upon rejoining World DOM, Spike rejoined the Change Party and once again began campaigning as a Mahlist, supporting Change candidates in the elections.
=== Opposition to One-Party rule ===
Soon after Spike joined, the UPF, under Arl's leadership, would reform the voting system into something which, at the time, heavily favored the UPF in elections. This resulted in the UPF getting full council control and passing a new Regulations of Governance into law which basically made World DOM into a one-party dictatorship. Spike was heavily opposed to this from the get-go, and created a conference of Mahlists to oppose the UPF. When Nort, who had been appointed King by the UPF, felt sidelined and powerless due to Arl's domineering of government at the time, Spike worked with him to try to overthrow the UPF government and bring back some form of democracy. This failed after Kaiser sided with the government, and both Spike and Nort were banned, although they would be later unbanned. Spike kept getting rebanned and unbanned after this until Potter restored democracy.
=== Second Term as CM and supporting Potter ===
After the restoration of democracy, Spike became the first democratically elected Community Manager since before UPF rule. However, his term was riddled with difficulty in passing laws due to him leading a minority government. However, Spike was able to fire Spring from the staff team. However, Spike was unable to stay CM after an election he called. The twist in this was that Spike would have originally stayed as CM, but Kaiser joined the United Moderate Party, giving them a majority and allowing them to choose the CM. They chose Mickey, who immediately began pushing to make Potter owner again. The need to find a new owner increased after Oliver announced that World DOM would be deleted if it did not choose a new owner by November 16th, as per Robbur's final wishes. While Change, under the leadership of Spike in the council, originally pushed for Mahl to become owner, Spike and another Change councilor, Justin, decided to support Potter after receiving concessions from him, allowing Potter's candidacy to go to a referendum, which won.
=== Role in creating the United Alliance ===
In the next election, the Player's Union, United Patriotic Front and Robloxian Parties united into Together for DOM, which was basically a blanket party for everyone who opposed Potter and/or Change and the UMP. To counter this, Spike and Mickey negotiated the unification of their respective parties, creating the United Alliance. However, the United Alliance was riddled with political instability, and after badly losing several elections it was disbanded, after losing almost all of its original members.
=== Current position ===
After the collapse of the UA, TfD rule was basically guaranteed. However, Spike worked with several people (such as Oatmeal) to create multiple opposition parties, the most successful of which is currently the Free DOM Liberation Front. However, the FDLF is constantly being removed from the ballot by the TfD-dominated court, and it struggles to speak out without something being done to it by the TfD government.
