Anti-Cringe Association

The Anti-Cringe Association (ACA) was a faction that operates mainly on Weedbox, and, occasionally, Super Garrys Mod Server. As its name suggests, the group's primary goal was to defend and rid what was its main server, Super, of cringe, which from their point of view primarily came in the forms of crossbows, killing builders and raiding. ACA also aimed to defend the server from foreign threats, which at the time of creation became much more prevalent due to World War IV.
As of 2022, ACA's goals changed to those of having fun as a group and ridding GMod of people who they view as bad for GMod & the meta.
==History ==
=== Crossbow War (March - April 2021) ===
ACA was founded on March 31st, 2021 as part of a push against a group of rampaging crossbow spammers known as the Crossbow Bois. On April 1st, they fought the first (and last) battle against the Crossbow Bois and won after 2 hours of conflict, claiming victory via K/D. They waited around a week before determining that the Crossbow Bois had ceased operations and existence on Super. They then learned that the Crossbow Bois had also dissolved, effectively winning the war.
===Redditor War (April 2021)===
On 4/23/2021, a group was formed on Super that called itself the Legion of Independence (L.O.I.), lead by Nick Brayston.
It formed for the purpose of "freeing" Super from the ACA, even though the ACA stated they don't own Super nor control it, and don't wish to. At around 9:00 PM (EST) that night, the L.O.I. initiated a fight with the ACA, ending in an ACA victory and an L.O.I. retreat. Originally, ACA was told they dissolved after the first fight, but on 4/26/2021 it was found out via espionage that the L.O.I. was actually lying and were recruiting via a post on the GMod subreddit and on the GMod discussions page on Steam.
The ACA, having found both posts, had a few ACA members make replies on both posts. The replies consisted of calling out the L.O.I. for attemping to bring outsiders into an internal affair and for lying to said outsiders about the purpose and actions of the ACA. As a response to this, on The L.O.I. responded to the replies with biased and false info about their first fight, as well as cutting communications with the ACA. Later that day the L.O.I. initiated a fight against ACA, ending in another ACA victory.
On 4/27/2021, the L.O.I. made a final push against the ACA, rallying its remaining forces on Super to fight the ACA one final time. During the fight, the L.O.I. engaged ACA forces for around 30 minutes before the ACA claimed a large victory, dominating the L.O.I. and causing them to retreat for a second time. 
After their second retreat, the ACA leader was informed that the L.O.I. was dissolving and would no longer be on Super, declaring the ACA victorious in the process.
=== World War IV (April - August 2021)===
Main article: World War IV
On April 27, 2021, the United Legion of SCI (ULSCI) broke their non-aggression pact with ACA and declared war on them because they claimed that ACA had relations with the 1-47 Union (1-47). However, ACA never had any relations with 1-47 and it was later revealed that ULSCI actually declared war out of boredom. ACA has said that they never wanted to be invaded by foreign powers, but ULSCI, along with the Imperial Alliance (IA) and Kakestania (NRK), started invading Super. However, the Cat-Gopher Industries (C.G.I.) and Cerulean Taskforce (CTF) leaders would contact xenoscoot about assisting ACA. Although ACA was not originally directly involved in World War IV, a collective group of factions declaring war on IA and its allies would cause this small conflict, among some others, to be part of a much larger war. Ever since then, the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact (GMAP) and its allies have supported ACA in defending Super. The opposing forces eventually withdrew from Super, leaving ACA in control of the server.
===ACA - KRS War (May 2021)===
Main article: ACA - KRS War
On 5/10/2021, 9:15 PM (EST), the Kaiserreich of Super (KRS) officially declared its existence as a faction and split from the ACA. Originally their first leader, MetroKaiser, told many ACA members that they planned on being a small, peaceful group, but 30 minutes later it was found out that they actually intended on taking over Super and forcibly absorbing or controlling the ACA, as well as allying with enemies of the ACA. These actions pushed the ACA to declare war on the KRS, engaging them as soon as their real purpose was found out. This fight lead to an ACA victory, via KRS retreat. 
After their first loss, their old leader Metrokaiser, mainly known as Metroking, resigned from the KRS, passing leadership to vvninja. On 5/11/2021, Destroyer and vvninja, (vvninja being the new leader of the KRS), joined Super and were attacked constantly for ~4 hours. This battle resulted in ACA victory, as vvninja had worse K/D. 
On 5/15/2021, approximately 9:45 PM (EST), The Turtle Nation (TTN) tried to invade Super for the second time in ACA history, this time to support the KRS. The battle lasted for around ~3 hours, KRS having pulled out around 30 minutes in. Big Grin Face Mask, sprayingwings, and one other TTN member alongside a now ex-KRS member were involved. This larger battle resulted in another ACA victory via TTN ragequitting and K/D. 
On 5/16/2021, ACA was prepared for a planned fight against KRS dubbed "Operation Shitstain" and instead were ambushed by United Legion of SCI (ULSCI) forces as well as Kakestania (NRK) and Sovinia (SOVN) forces. There were no official KRS members on that day, however it was found out that the ambush was made in an attempt to support KRS. Earlier in the fight the ACA was losing, but was able to temporarily gain advantage by using numbers and tactics. As the fight pushed on, ACA numbers dwindled, and enemy forces gained an advantage, ending in a partial loss to the ACA. On 5/17/2021, at around 12:30-1:00 AM (EST), NRK's leader had sent an ultimatum to the ACA's leader, demanding that a certain member, who also happened to be in 1-47, be kicked from ACA. The ACA declined the ultimatum because of the terms. Due to the ACA declining the ultimatum, a small skirmish was engaged, involving Cat-Gopher Industries (C.G.I.), ACA, NRK, Izakia (IZK), and KRS forces, resulting in a victory for C.G.I. and ACA. 
On 5/23/2021, 12:30 AM (EST), vvninja joined super and was immediately engaged by ACA forces, forcing him out of Super. As a result of this, vvninja messaged xenoscoot about it and announced that he would be doing a vote to dissolve the KRS. On 5/24/2021, 4:30 PM (EST) xenoscoot was sent a screenshot of the vote, confirming that KRS would be dissolving. This, along with many things said by vvninja, effectively confirmed ACA having won the war. 
===APS "War" (June 2021) ===
On 6/8/2021, seperate from the APS war, ACA joined the Europa Union (EU), having been invited by New Germania (NG). 
n 6/18/2021, at around 5:00 PM (EST), the ACA leader was messaged by an outside source that vvninja had began plotting another attack on ACA. The faction that he was trying to form was called the Anarchist Party of Super, a group created to curb ACA power. After being told more info and being sent a few screenshots, the ACA began preparing for a war with the APS due to their intentions against the ACA as well as APS hypocrisy. 
After three days of no major news, vvninja messaged xenoscoot about the ordeal, claiming that the APS was an attempt to get peace, and then stated that APS is dissolving due to the ACA knowing about them. Soon after the argument, vvninja got on Super with one other member and engaged the ACA for the first and final fight. After 3 hours, the fight was determined to be an ACA victory via K/D, as well as the end of the short APS war.
=== Six-Gate Conspiracy (July 2021) ===
Main article: Six-Gate Conspiracy
On 7/14/2021, ACA leader, xenoscooty was messaged by VA leader, Crysis, about the leader of what at the time was the Terran Empire, Six of Nine. The conversation ended up leading to a full scale investigation into Six of Nine possibly being former Orivesian leader, Mathias, as well as 4 other people. After the first few minutes of discussion, more faction leaders were invited to the Six-Gate discord in order to find out the truth.
The next day, 7/15/2021, xenoscoot collected what would be the confirming evidence of the conspiracy and sent it to the other members of the discord, and after prepping a discord group-chat, confronted Six of Nine and Mathias into confessing. The confession led to other information being spilled about the USDF, leading to the creation of G6. 
=== Superian War (July 2021) ===
Main article: Superian War (USDF page not included due to their info being biased)
The Superian War was war between the United Super Defense Force (USDF) and ACA with both sides calling in allies at large rates. Tensions broke when UMB raided ACA and USDF declared war, allying themselves with UMB, but after around 4 days of conflict UMB pulled out silently. The war truly ignited when Six-Gate lead to finding out USDF's plans for Super. 
At around 1:30 AM (EST), 7/8/2021, the first battle of the Superian War took place and was declared a stalemate by ACA and allies. At around 2:00 AM (EST) the next day, 7/9/2021, ACA forces were engaged into a second fight and fought for around an hour. The fight was declared an ACA loss via K/D. 
ACA helped form the Grand 6 (G6) on 7/15/2021 in order to combat the USDF and CIC. 
On 7/16/2021, a skirmish would happen earlier in the day at around 5 PM (EST) and a fight at around 10:30 PM (EST). The skirmish and third battle would result in a Grand 6 (G6) win via K/D, along with the ACA. On 7/20/2021, a fourth battle would occur, leading to a G6 victory via K/D. The fight lasted for around 45 minutes. 
On 7/22/2021, the USDF sent an ally on to Super with the task of impersonating the ACA leader, xenoscoot, to make ACA and xenoscoot look bad. After being asked to stop, the USDF refused to stop and tried to justify this act with invalid reasoning, leading to xenoscoot cutting communications with USDF leaders vvninja and DooMSlayer. 
On 7/23/2021, ACA officially joined the Garrys Mod Alliance Pact (GMAP), after having already basically having been a member state for some months beforehand. 
On 7/25/2021, xenoscooty, being an admin on Super, found out that DooMSlayer had scammed someone out of real money at 9:35 PM (EST). 
Upon the realization, xenoscooty decided it was the final straw and decided to finally punish DooMSlayer for his actions, as well as those involved with said actions. After around 2 hours of speaking to another, higher-ranked staff member of Super, he got permission to ban the offending player and got on Super to do so. He ended up banning 3 USDF members and 2 allies due to scamming, impersonation, as well as other causes. This event has been dubbed "Operation Tyrannicide". Due to USDF no longer being able to operate on Super, ACA declared victory via battles won and control of Super at 12:00 AM, 7/26/2021. 
At about 11:25 PM (EST), 7/25/2021, a message was sent to xenocoot encrypted in Base-64. This message was sent by an ex-USDF member, TheCamo666, going by the alias TheSpectrumStar13. The message, when decoded, said that Camo was rallying troops to make a new faction called The Spectrum (TSS) to take down the ACA, and would be invading Super as they see the ACA's rule unjust, through invalid reasoning. The ACA has yet to recieve any more news or action regarding this new mystery faction's invasion. On 7/26/2021, ACA engaged TSS on super but ended up talking things out and absorbing TSS before further conflict.
=== Room Temperature War (August - November 2021) ===
Main Article: Room Temperature War
ACA left the Europa Union (EU) on 8/7/2021, a week or so before the war started. Due to the circumstances and pace of the war, ACA had not been involved in any real fights. Nothing eventful for ACA happened during the war.
=== S&Box (August 2021) ===
At 12AM (EST), 8/29/2021, ACA officially made a S&Box branch, cementing it into the position of being the first faction on S&Box in the current meta.
=== ACA Golden Age (August - September 2021) ===
After the Superian War, the ACA was launched into a "Golden Age," when which a relative peace was reached. No inter-faction warring was happening, and the ACA chilled. As a result, some Builders decided to kill ACA, but the ACA quickly regained their reputation after USDF ruined it. Many good things happened, like the ACA youtube channel getting more active, and Miss Nirny's project, ACABOUND (an ACA game). ACA is also creating Daktank and has made multiple working tanks as of 12/6/21.
=== ACA - TBB War (September 2021) ===
The ACA - TBB War was a war that happened when the Anti Cringe Association and The Boonie Boys (TBB) shot at each other on Super. TBB was created by a user named God Tier Goop Sack who is skilled at Garry's Mod PvP and enjoys killing Builders. No one is really sure when the War started, but it is widely known TBB called the first shots by shit talking ACA and shooting at them in game, but soon bullets were flying.
The Early War was a chaotic period of time. TBB were constantly spreading anti-ACA propaganda as well as shit talking on a regular basis. They were also almost constantly on, and the only time of peace was caused by ACA members events. Later on, the ACA declared war and quickly mobilized, launching attacks on TBB routinely. The first actual fight (the Early War was mostly skirmishes, all of which ACA won) was held on 09/12/21, at around 10pm (EST). ACA won via terms TBB wanted and via K/D, as well as a non-combatant confirming the fight was an ACA Victory.
On 9/13/2021, at 11 PM (EST), there was another fight between ACA and TBB that ACA won. TBB tried to declare win due to their highly boosted K/D from locals, but was promptly proven otherwise when a local who was on before ACA brought up that TBB had over 300 kills before ACA got on, leaving ACA the victor with 600 kills on TBB.
On 9/12/2021, 9:12 PM (EST), an agreement was made between ACA and TBB were both sides would be civil as well as halting attacks when either leader couldn't get on, which was then broken multiple times as of 9/23/2021, in which ACA leader, xenoscoot, declared the agreement void due to TBB not following the terms of said agreement.
On 9/23/2021, two things happened. A crisis regarding Spies happened, and a new battle happened, regarding a new faction that the ACA doesn't know much about, called [pelp]. ACA got on at 8:00 pm EST to scout, and a wave of people wearing a [pelp] tag invaded. They heavily attacked the TBB forces, then left after crushing them. Pelp is still in the dark now.
On 9/29/2021. 8:41 PM (EST), TBB sent an ally to vandalize ACA's wiki page, as well as attacking Super and failing initiate a fight. The vandal was banned and a video was put up on the ACA Youtube channel about the incident. After this, the TBB stopped getting on Super for around 2 weeks, leading ACA to believe they had given up. They then continued attacking the ACA in the beginning of October. ACA was also attacked by NRK once while trying to play Retart Kart, but successfully defended Super and itself from the invasion. After around a month of non-agression, on 10/21/21, God Tier Goop Sack announced the ending of his affiliation with the TBB, and changing the status of the group into an "indefinite hiatus" therefore confirming a victory for the ACA.
A day later, a remnant of TBB got on, and tried to push while only xenoscoot was on, but reinforcements soon arrived, ending in an ACA victory. Then, on 11/4/21, God Tier Goop Sack announced the end of the TBB's "indefinite hiatus," and asked his members to get on super, thus beginning another leg of the war. 
On 11/7/21, the TBB launched their first invasion since then, which was fended off. 
The war ended sometime in late November. 
=== ACA - DS-USDF War (November - December 2021) ===
On 11/27/21, the DS-USDF, a new semi-joke faction created by NoahPlayzGaming, that included multiple previous ACA allies and traitors, declared war on ACA, creating another, smaller battle war, reminiscent of the KRS but on a much smaller scale. To date there has been 4 battles with DS-USDF, all of which were won by ACA via K/D and control. TBB also ended aggression with ACA following NoahPlayz being exposed for using real life circumstances in order to stay in TBB with a high rank amongst other things. 
DS-USDF dissolved and reformed as a small clan named DS-C-3 sometime in December. 
=== Beginning of 2022 (January 2022) ===
Apart from the 29th and 30th of January, the beginning of 2022 has been uneventful for ACA. On 1/29/22 ACA had war-games on Weedbox with Greater Kingdom of Prussia (GPK) and won with 6 Dak-Tank casualties and 7 kills, a video was published later that day. On 1/30/22 ACA successfully drove TMB (The Meat Binding) out of Super, declaring war on multiple micro-clans that were wreaking havoc. 
=== TMU - ACA Conflict (February 2022) ===
On 2/2/22, The Marxist Union (TMU), joined a public groupchat for a server xenoscooty plays and released his IP and general location twice, doxxing him for the 3rd and 4th time, the first two having happened two days prior, on 1/31/2022. A back and forth argument had been going on in the groupchat from 2/2/22 to 2/2/22, which ended in the TMU members getting banned from the Steam group. The TMU leader, Dimitri, also claimed they had fought and won against ACA, which had never happened. Dimitri then spread cropped screenshots without context to try and make it seem like he won, which xenoscoot responded to by posting the full versions of said screenshots.
On 2/19/22, ACA joined the Anti-Communist Coalition (ACC) to help in the larger fight against TMU and to combat the doxxing of others.
On 2/7/22, it was found out that alot of the TMU's actions also break Steam online conduct, with xenoscoot warning Dimitri about his actions. Since then, the RFAI wiki was raided everyday since 2/24/2022 to 2/28/2022, with several IPs, including xenoscoot's, being put up on pages. 
Since then, xenoscoot and Dimitri made a deal to not interact with eachother. 
=== One Hour War (February 2022) ===
On 2/25/22, Greater Prusso-Scandinavian Empire [GPSE] and GGMA had a misunderstanding as well as high tensions due to GPSE allowing nuklearburrito into their clan, leading to GPSE making a badly worded announcement. Due to the announcements wording it was thought that GPSE was declaring war, when they weren't. After around 20 minutes, the situation was resolved.
=== GGMA - VE War (March 2022) ===
On 3/17/22, at around 8:30 PM (EST), Viserbian Empire [VE] discussed warring GGMA openly in their general chat, and then locked out GGMA forces from said chat, and claimed that GGMA, specifically xenoscoot, betrayed them and were traitors because GGMA forces didn't show up to a skirmish that VE had with the Urtanesian Federation [UNR] due to being busy. 
Because of their open hostility towards GGMA, xenoscoot left the VE discord and declared war at 10:20 PM (EST), alongside the other GGMA high command. 
On 3/18/22, at 9:35 PM (EST), VE called their forces onto weedbox, pinging their discord 2 times. ACA had inserted a spy into VE and saw, preparing themselves for a fight. However, VE didn't show up until 10 minutes later, when their member Winston got on the server. The fight lasted for around an hour before win was declared, via control and (undetermined) K/D. KATO forces were also present.
After the massive defeat, VE stated that it was dissolving, but instead ended up changing leadership. 
=== Industrialization (May 2022) ===
After a month or so of inactivity, ACA is working to industrialize and improve itself to be the best it can be. This is in progress and will be updated as things happen, so far ACA has produced its own MBT as well as other ACF vehicles, such as aircraft.
=== First Anti-Larp Crusade (June 2022) ===
Main Article: First Anti-Larp Crusade
On 6/21/22 at 6:50 PM (EST), ACA decided to join the First Anti-Larp Crusade in order to support what at the time was its ally, Divine Azure Legion (DAL). ACA only participated in the Battle of Glisswil due to time zone differences, which was won via K/D, and lost via control.
=== ACA - DAL War (July 2022) ===
Main Article: War of Jmod
On 7/4/22, at around 12:30 AM (EST), all ACA members and leaders were kicked from the DAL discord without notice. It was found out afterwards that this occured because of the removal of JMOD from weedbox, the server ACA leader xenoscoot owns and operates on. JMOD was removed by community consensus via a vote in its discord server, despite DAL inviting people to get the upper hand. 
Upon finding out what happened and why, ACA declared war on DAL due to the absurdity of its actions via a video uploaded to the ACA Youtube channel. 
No battles were fought after this point due to DAL refusing to show up in-game.
=== ACA - Coalition War (May 2022 - July 2022) ===
From May of 2022 and onwards, ACA and The Coalition [CLTN] have had high tensions and have been at war. 
Not much has been documented due to the nature of this war. Scanty originally fought ACA on Super Garrys Mod Server and lost, mostly due to his own men not showing up, which has also been a continuing trend whenever he "fights". 
There were only two notable aspects of this conflict. On 7/7/22, ACA fought the Coalition on 7/7/22, which at the time when under a different name. During the fight, Scanty abused his power multiple times, clearing xenoscoot's inventory after losing to him in a 1v1, with proof being provided in a video by ACA and a now private video by CTLN. After this, another fight occurred on 7/9/22 during which ACA used hack clients in order to combat the staff abuse committed by the Coalition, along with another video being published about it. It ultimately ended in a win for ACA, due to the fact xenoscoot won the only fair fight to have occurred, as well as the fact that the Coalition initiated cheating.
After winning the Minecraft aspect of the conflict, ACA continually challenged the Coalition to fight them on weedbox using ACF. ACA won the fight 12 - 2, with footage and witnesses proving the win.
=== ACA - STAMP War (July 2022 - August 2022) ===
On 7/31/2022, ACA declared war on STAMP, telling them to fight them on weedbox. The next day, 8/1/2022, ACA and stamp tried fighting on weedbox, but got interrupted by other people. Both tried moving to Colurful Crew, but got followed. ACA and STAMP rescheduled the fight to the next day.
On 8/2/22, STAMP and ACA fought on Ikarus Sandbox at 8PM (EST) with ACF, ending in a close 10-9 victory for ACA. A video was made showcasing the footage from the fight.
After the fight, the leaders agreed to do something else in the future, ending the conflict for the most part.
=== Operation Kite (August 2022) ===
On 8/21/22, Parcicia [PCA] and ACA discussed raiding That Sandbox Server, and Boomhauer, leader of Parcicia spoke to the leader of TTN, inciting TTN to challenge the two factions. PCA and ACA both agreed to raid TSS, and ACA got The 12th Battalion [12LND] involved as well, raiding That Sandbox Server at around 7PM (EST). The raid lasted for around 10 minutes before That Sandbox Server started getting ddossed. 
During the fight, TTN was found to abuse staff power and to allow its members to use GMod cheats, ending in a victory for ACA, PCA and 12LND.
=== World War V (September 2022) ===
Main Article: World War V
World War V is a collection of related conflicts between Slavingrad Pact, The Democratic Liberation Pact, and The Turtle Nation [TTN].
On 9/9/22, ACA and TTN planned a fight at 7:30 PM (EST). A few ACA and affiliated factions showed up to fight but were heavily outnumbered, leading ACA to lose overall, K/D and control.
A week or so later, ACA challenged TTN to pull up to weedbox at 9:16 PM (EST). TTN did not initially respond over discord but showed up ingame, they took half an hour to get ready for the fight once they joined. ACA and ACA aligned forces won via K/D.
The fight lasted until around 11:30, then TTN was found to be cheating via a spectate command ingame. Following this, ACA made a video demonstrating multiple instances of TTN members cheating. When TTN were confronted about it, they did not give any response other than:
"killer video finna drop on yall eat my farts
-fart commander"
