Pumpkin Faction

== WORK IN PROGRESS ==
== Formation, The How/Why ==
After the freezing of Rathnir and Eldham, there was a waiting period while the Development Team, Staff Team and Owners worked on Abexilas. The owners graciously let the players play on a hub, while waiting for Abexilas. Creating a new hub, and a kit system with pvp though the work of the Developer Bathony.
At the time of the forming of the Pumpkin Faction, there where the following kits. 
* Dwarf
* PvP
* Pumpkin
For some contact, the factions naturally formed though combat. For the pvp kit at the time, it also came with flowers and various items, including a mob spawner, witch you could equip on your head. Each one of these items has Protection IV, witch was preferred then the basic diamond helmet with protection 1. Players in the chats started to naturally form alliances with people who looked like them, witch helped them survive and dominate in the combat. This happened due to what can only be assumed human nature.
On the third day of the hub being open with pvp, and two days of fighting. There was a major battle, The Cages Pumpkin Wars. What is not mentioned in the Wiki Page linked, is the fact that this conflicted caused the forming and origination of the first two major factions, the Pumpkins and the Cageheads. Using discord along with voice calls, establishing leadership and going in voice calls and meetings.
==Founding Factions Leadership==
=== Leadership Creation ===
During the The Caged Pumpkin Wars, the Discord server was officially created by a member named Tbgoes_java. Throughout the battle, more members joined the Discord server. And in the days to come many more would join. 
=== The Advisors ===
At first, Micelinas declared himself King in the day after The Caged Pumpkin Wars. And in the discord he was officially recognized. Soon after, as the nation begin to grow, certain members of the community joined the leadership under the rank of Advisor. The rank of advisor did not have set powers, or responsibilities. But they ran the combat on the ground, and organized and help build and advertise the official factions Discord server.

== Leadership Re-Structure / Abexilas ==
=== Cause ===
What really started to talks and planning for a leadership restructure for the Pumpkin Faction, was Tbgoes declaring himself Emperor. The disruption this caused was that there was already a king, and no structured leadership rankings. This made the Emperor, King and Advisors realize that a re-structure of leadership was necessary.
Next, during the re-structure, the majority of the leadership decided they wanted to turn into an Abexilas nation, while staying a hub faction.
=== Rankings ===
==== Emperor/King ====
Emperors/Kings supervise the entire nation, they can pass, block and create policies that are recommended by governors and nobles. They control the direction of the nation, whether it goes to war or not, its religious views and other proposals such as taxes. The Emperor and the king may seem the same, but the Emperor has say over the king. This was primarily because at the time, the Emperor and the king are in different time zones.
==== Governors ====
Governors supervise over the nobles, they decide in electing new governors and also can propose policies to the Emperor. The Governors also have a significant role in the direction of the nation as they advise the Emperor, each Governor also tends to fit into a certain niche. 
==== Nobile's ====
Nobles look over sectors and towns, as well as in's. They often are more hands on with citizens, and can propose ideas to governors. They are being sent to vassals and other nations containing pumpkins and can also set up jobs, houses and plan areas within the city. 
=== Current Situation ===
Right now, 17/04/2024, the ranking remain the same. But they might change again with the thoughts of shifting back to a more hub based faction/nation. That will require another restructure of leadership.
