Couch Club Raids

The Couch Club raids were a series of attacks and invasions targeted at the Couch Club and Couch Club 2.0, the first direct attack on another server by The Meme Council, until the infamous FiddleRaids.
== Background ==
=== Harley Quinn ===
Harley Quinn was a memeber, new to Stabington during Freshman year, and first Female ever added to The Council. She was also the creator of the Couch Chat. Without her involvement, the entire 'Couch' legacy would not have happened. Her exit from our school, however, prompted the Raids themselves. A Chat exiled, a server completely destroyed and deleted, a second server killed and left for dead for 2 years. Quite a lot of conflict over one girl, don't you think? Heh heh heh...WRONG!
=== The Couch Chat ===
The first 'Couch' group, this chat was a Group DM, created by Harley, and was where the famous Couch roleplay was invented. Where it all began.
=== The Couch Club ===
The Couch Club, a fully-fledged discord server created by PepsiLadd, was where Harley made her departure from halfway through its existence. This departure is what prompted the raids, as many believed the Club didn't need to exist/be named the way it is if Harley isn't around, especially since the activity dropped greatly after her departure. Was eventually destroyed.
=== Couch Club 2.0 ===
Couch Club 2.0, the successor to The Couch Club, but significantly weakened. It could never regain its footing after The Couch Club, and was 'dead' long before it was truly 'killed'. Eventually was abandoned after a mass exodus.
== The Raids ==
=== Assaults on The Club ===
Minor raids were done first, unorganized and rather weak. The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder invites randos and removes them, while also spamming walls of text.
=== Sly's Assaults ===
After the banning of The Meme Lord from The Couch Club, Sly Frog Fry invites The Booper and Mike Kachowski to a secret personal server of his, where he organizes further raids and gives them instructions. Even B00P Riif gives support to the cause.
Starting on 9/21/2018, Sly Frog Fry begins organizing plans, adding The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder eventually as well. Everybody is given instructions, meme ammo made by Sly Frog, and on 9/24/2018, the raid commences. Each memeber spams quickly and leaves, using a perma-invite made by Sly Frog Fry and sent to the server. Mike Kachowski filling the chat with screaming as Booper and Cinder send random memes. They quickly dissipate, and PepsiLadd, along with the other Couch Club memebers, are left confused and disoriented. 
The raid is a complete success, and all evidence is deleted from the server, the additional memebers are removed, and the perma-invite is erased as well. 
=== The J-Raid ===
This isn't enough, however, and the server is not taken down after these assaults. The Meme Lord creates a Lord of the Rings meme to send before the raid, to not only represent why the raid is being done, but the cause, as the Couch Club must be destroyed. Sly Frog Fry himself prepares a massive raid, which he plans to do at 10:00PM, thinking no other Couch Clubbers will be awake. On 9/27/2018 however, he finds that nearly every Clubber is online, foiling his plans.
Thus, the plan is postponed, until at 5:45 AM, Sly Frog Fry initiates the raid, spamming every single channel into oblivion, with well over 100+ memes in each channel, all random and customized. He went especially heavy on the anime channel, giving it a good 200-300 memes. The raid was extremely successful, Sly Frog Fry only not raiding the general chat, where he left his famous words: "sorry I must have been sleep spamming", under the LOTR meme. 
After this raid, PepsiLadd deemed the damage unrepairable, and was growing sick of the raids, and deleted the Couch Club. A true victory for the Meme Council.thumb|255x255px|Sly Frog Fry's video report of the raided Couch Club, at 5:45 AM. https://youtu.be/Fe2RDLCZ-xc
=== The Failed Redneck Invasion ===
On October 11, 2018, Redneck Memer decided to get a new way to raid Couch Club 2.0, as recruiting Memebers to do so would be too obvious, and at the moment Redneck Memer was trusted amongst the Couch Clubbers. Unfortunately, Spooderman is in the server that Redneck Memer is trying to recruit in, Redneck Memer not being aware of this. Spooderman asks Couch Clubbers how to take a screenshot. Meme Lord is skeptical, as Spooderman asks right after Redneck Memer begins recruiting, but giving him the info anyways to see what he found. Meme Lord is horrified to see that Spooderman is none other than revealing one of our raids in motion. Redneck Memer is promptly kicked, and not let back in for 2 weeks. A failure for the Meme Council.
=== The Infiltration of Tom ===
On October 4, 2018, The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder's alt account, called 'Tom' at the time, is added. Sly Frog Fry and The Meme Lord act like he's a known memer from the Council, even temporarily adding him to enforce the allusion. The goal is to allow the Rare Meme Lord of Cinder to always have a presence on Couch Club 2.0, and maybe even earn the trust and move up the ranks to become the next admin. Successfully fooling the Clubbers, 'Tom' plays along with the reactions of the Clubbers, and asks questions about things that would be common knowledge to those who were in the group. However, Tom soon becomes unneeded as PepsiLadd makes a rule that there can only be 2 admins, and Spooderman the No U King is made the server's only other admin. Tom is quickly made inactive and even becomes unneeded as The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder is eventually re-added on 10/19/2018. Tom would still be used occasionally, but was removed from the server during the exodus along with Cinder.
=== The Spamming Raids of Cinder and Sly Frog ===
As a small raid during the server's waning days, The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder spammed general on October 14, 2019, but at this point the server was so dead, nobody reacted, not even PepsiLadd. It was the day after this that Redneck Memer declared the server dead. Sly Frog Fry also spammed the anime-memes and spam channel with kermits, but to no avail.
=== The Mass Exodus ===
As the days wane on its clear that Couch Club 2's admins are never going to let up and kill the server. It is so dead that it is barely receiving a message a month. The Meme Lord finally decides that if they can't destroy the Couch Club, then why not leave it? Thus a mass exodus is organized and carried out. Each memeber, once Couch Vet, leaves one by one, beginning with Redneck Memer on 12/14/2019, Sly Frog Fry sometime during that winter, The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder along with his alt and The Booper on 2/6/2020, Grumpy Cat on 2/7/2020, and The Meme Lord on 2/25/2020. Taken Bacon is the only Couch Vet to stay behind.
Finally, after 2 years, it was over.
The legacy of the 'Couch' has finally ended. While Couch Club 2.0 was never destroyed, it is now thoroughly dead, not receiving more than 3 messages since Meme Lord's departure. The PepsiLadd makes a new server for his friends, keeping it separate from The Couch Chats and thankfully not including anything to do with Couches in the title. 
Quite a lot of conflict over one girl indeed...
