January 28th Massacre

Following rapidly building tensions up to this day between the Constitutional Union Party (supporters of Romulus) and the National Action Party (supporters of Swordpepi and the New Guard), Congress was attacked by suspicious newcomer penisman, who had somehow gotten his hands on ban permissions. He used MEE6 to ban 14 alleged alts of Romulus, several of whom were senators at the time, as well as village idiot yankees88888g, before ownership caught on and he was apprehended. Shortly after the attack, prominent members of the CUP began attempting to blame it on Beanman, claiming that penisman was him and that the attack was in vengeance against the CUP after their recent incarceration of him for 16 days for possession of RP narcotics. The lames were subsequently fueled by an NAP counterattack blaming the nuke on the division caused by the CUP and their members' toxic nature, which apparently allowed foreign powers an opportunity to destabilize the Republic. The alleged Rom alts never returned and, most conspicuously, the event was followed by a string of seemingly random and highly unconventional disappearances of several prominent leaders in both parties. The involvement of the since-disgraced Mcl5, Karl Von Klue, and Commie Jesus of the ownership was hinted at but never proven. However, controversial owner Fusion was removed shortly thereafter and replaced by Jesus, partially backing up these claims. The massacre's fault is largely placed on Dunraven, whom little is known about other than his inconsistent expression of seemingly oracular abilities through Republic of Discord Wiki articles. His neglecting to bring the advice of then Speaker of the House Fu before the ownership to not ban the Rom alts, as it would cause division and collapse, is attributed to Beanman's alleged doing so. The January 28th Massacre is considered the largest critical tipping point in the division and collapse of the Fifteenth Republic, which followed quickly after it. The whereabouts and origins of many who were most heavily involved in the escalating party tensions that are partially attributed to causing the event, including Dunraven and notorious e-boy Edi Rama, also known as AlbanianMaster, remain unknown, as they left shortly after the collapse and were never seen again.
