AOCQ

Age of Conquest, commonly shortened to AOCQ, was a ROBLOX Stud Roleplay game.
=== Foundation ===
The exact origins of AOCQ are unclear, but it seems to have been a revival of an older Stud Roleplay. It was revived by Khram, a World Conquest moderator, who brought over a bunch of his friends from that game to help him, such as D3K, Lily, Alpaca, and Kiwski. 
=== Growth ===
AOCQ mostly got its members from World Conquest. Virtually all AOCQ players were World Conquest members, and many were Khram's friends. Khram originally made some good reforms to the game, such as a highly organized staff system and a fairly interactive server. However, the game never really became active during this period, and that was one of the reasons for AOCQ's eventual downfall. (Not to mention the map was a free model.)
=== Peak ===
During mid-summer of 2022, AOCQ arguably reached its peak, having a fairly active staff team. Also, Discord activity was at its highest. During this period, Epic, and later Spike, joined AOCQ and quickly joined the staff team, with both rising fairly quickly and soon becoming Managers (which is the equivalent of Head Mod in WD.)
=== Involvement with World DOM ===
Around this point, Robbur, who at the time was Emperor of World DOM, joined AOCQ through means which were never discovered, although Robbur himself said he found the game through the activity status of someone named "Xander." (However, the only person in AOCQ who went by that was Alpaca, and he did not have Robbur friended at the time.) Robbur began espousing conservative social views in the Discord server pretty quickly, eventually getting banned. However, after appealing, Robbur was allowed to return and was soon hired as a staff member. He quickly became the most active staff member, surpassing Spike and Kiwski (who had previously been in the lead.) However, due to very weak claims of "harassment" directed at him by another staff member, Scotland, Robbur was fired and some WDers who had joined AOCQ through him were also later banned for similarly weak reasons. Eventually, a raid directed by Scotland was planned on World DOM, but it is not known if the raid actually did anything, or if it happened at all.
=== Downfall ===
It was around this time that Khram, possibly to impress higher-ups in World Conquest, began imposing severe restrictions on AOCQ. In addition to that, anti-restriction staff, such as Lily, Epic and Spike, were sidelined and often threatened with mutes or staff warns. D3K became the de facto controller of AOCQ around this point and attacked Lily, Epic and Spike frequently, finding a bogus reason to fire Lily (although she seemed to have been readmitted to the staff team later.) As for Epic and Spike, their continued fight against D3K's tyranny led to their firing, and Spike was soon banned for sending Minecraft porn to D3K in DMs. This was initially supposed to be a 7 day ban, but seemed to have become unappealable. Epic either left or was banned not long after. The loss of three highly active staff members (four counting Robbur) was something AOCQ did not recover from.
=== Last months and shut-down ===
After these events, AOCQ completely died. However, it was later subject to a mass raid. First a former staff member, somehow having permissions to do so, was able to prune the server, causing it to greatly decrease in size, and soon after a still unknown user attacked the server and sent messages to Khram, in which he said "GLORY TO SPIKE" and "GLORY TO EPIC." However, neither of these two people were involved with this person, although Khram seemed to take it as a reason not to let them back in. This was the last major thing that ever happened to AOCQ, and not that long afterwards it was shut down forever.
=== Legacy ===
AOCQ is the prime example of what a Stud Roleplay game should avoid. They had a large development team, but stopped making their own map because they decided using a free model was easier. They fired staff who justly fought against overextensive regulations (such as literally banning the words piss and Hungary in the server at one point.) Along with other factors, this led to AOCQ's downfall and, in the long-run, its end.
