Anti-Cringe Association

The Anti-Cringe Association (ACA) is a group that strictly only operates on the Super Garrys Mod Server. As its name suggests, the group's primary goal is to rid Super of cringe, which from their point of view, primarily comes in the form of crossbows. Their policy on crossbow usage is strict, and they will mostly likely kill anyone who uses one on sight. ACA also aims to defend the server from foreign threats, which become much more prevalent due to World War IV.
==Crossbow War (March 2021)==
ACA was founded on 3/31/2021 as part of a push against a group of rampaging crossbow spammers known as the Crossbow Bois. On 4/1/2021 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 existance on Super, and then learning Crossbow Bois had also dissolved, effectively winning the war.
==Redditor War ==
On 4/23/2021, a group was formed on Super that called itself the L.O.I. (Legion of Independance).
It formed for the purpose of "freeing" Super from the ACA, even though the ACA stated they don't own Super, 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==
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==
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"==
On 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==
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==
Main article: Superian War
The Superian War is an ongoing 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. 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 7/25/2021, xenoscoot, being an admin on Super, found out that DooMSlayer had scammed someone out of real money at 9:35 PM (EST).
Upon the realization, xenoscoot 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.

Due to the circumstances and pace of the war, ACA has not been involved in any real fights. (2 low-rank ACA grunts fucking around is TOTALLY a scouting party)
== S&Box ==
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.
