League Of Mothers/Mothers Union

"Haha its funny bc no one in the League of Mothers has ever said anything funny" - Elyag 05/10/2022 13:27
The League of Mothers/Mothers Union, also known as: The Senate of Mothers, The Republic of Mothers, The Empire of Mothers, The Caliphate of Mothers and (currently) The Circus of Mothers, or commonly abbreviated as LOM, is the ultimate name of an old group of friends that this wiki is centred around. Thus, the wiki is named after it, with this page being used as the hub to give some context to who the people mentioned on this wiki are and their mess of a group as a whole. Most of its members are old friends and not actually mothers (yet), contrary to what the title suggests. The group's name stems from the eponymous name of the group's Discord server, which has a rich history in itself, with little to no rules other than the 'BigMan Rule' and the worship of certain deities. Like any other server of friends, they play numerous video games (Minecraft) and tabletop games (D&D) together, with at times discussing a variety of topics ranging from pop culture, politics and philosophical/ethical debates, though of course no one's opinion is actually taken seriously. Additionally, they also create different forms of media, referred to in a group as LOM Media. However, most of what they do is speak utter nonsense, with the main text channel being called 'For Chattin Bur Bur', an iconic phrase started by Razza that insinuates you're talking utter crap and an ideal summarization of the server/group as a whole.
In order to obscure the identity of individuals in the group mentioned on this wiki, members are mainly referred to by their nicknames on most pages.

==== Early History ====
The majority of members in the League of Mothers met during their secondary school years. In the last year of school, RoxyVelma would host a Dungeons and Dragons campaign (Lost Mine of Phandelver) with the original group, which, according to Roxy, was the earliest version of the group that would ultimately become the LOM. However, because most of the group was afraid of the sun or touching grass, they were rarely able to talk with each other outside of school or meet up for D&D. 
In response to this dilemma, on March 27th 2018, Kelloggs created a Discord server as a way to contact Rusty and RoxyVelma. At the time, Discord was quite new to them, so they didn't know the full capabilities of what it had to offer. Rusty claimed it was just called 'Mothers Meeting' back when the server was made. However, the server remained dormant for a few months until the server's rebirth, around the 31st of October 2018 (otherwise known as Halloween), when Kelloggs invited a larger group of people to the server, the rest of the original group and more of the people that they had all met in college. Thus, the LOM was truly born. As such, the 31st, or at least a date around it, is generally regarded as the true beginning of the server, and it has become a tradition that every year the server gets together in a call and celebrates/gets spooky as described below in 'The Halloween Anniversary Extravaganzas'. A tradition of each celebration is the annual changing of the server's name, hence the server's many titles. 
Unlike what the server's title suggests, the group members are not actually mothers (yet) and mainly consist of men. Whilst you may think there is some oddity to why the server's main name is 'The League of Mothers/Mothers Union', during the LOM's original podcast series (EP: 2), Kelloggs said that the 'Mothers Union', a small organisation that is part of Anglican churches largely based in England, was in his mind when naming it (though it's unsure why they were in his mind at all tbh). As his first decree, he requested that everyone on the server must have the adjective 'Big' before their nickname, as described in more detail below. Another rule is that you're only allowed entry into the server if you went to either the high school or college from which the LOM originated. Hence, there is a strict rule that outsiders are prohibited from entering the server.
====The BigMan Rule====
The BigMan Rule, otherwise known as the Big Rule, was the first and remains the main rule on the server that every member's nickname must have the adjective 'Big' before it with no space between the adjective and the noun, for example: 'BigMan'. Though members will be warned, if they do not change their name and repeatably disobey this rule, the punishment is death (note that this naming scheme does not apply on the wiki). Although being called 'Big Man' is a common phrase used by many people, this is prominent on the server due to when Kelloggs was at his college. He would regard his closest confidants as 'Big Man', whether they weren't big or even a man at all. In fact, the person who got him to start saying it in the first place was a small woman who used to call Kelloggs 'Big Man' in passing. As Kelloggs is incredibly retarded, he accidentally started to make more slip-ups and so started just to call her 'Big Man' instead of 'Small Woman'. This got out of hand, with him starting to call almost everyone he knew the same thing, and thus, the nickname 'Big Man' was heavily overused around him. It is now an iconic part of the server's identity, as further explained below. 
==== The Holy Trollity & Big Saints ====
For a comprehensive list of this section, read the page on LOM Deities.
As described above and what you may read below, there are multiple religious figures deified within this group. According to Rusty, generally regarded as the (second) leading authority of the server, the state religion of the LOM is that of the Holy Trollity of KBism, this being the Lord KB, his father Matthew Bradley and the holy Boomerang Grenade Barry, the followers of this sect being called Boomnades. There are other iconic figures found elsewhere in other media that are generally considered as Big Saints. The first saint to be canonised was during 2020. Here Shmexi found a video of an old internet/radio presenter by the name of Michael Caracciolo (The Big Man), commonly known as The Kid From Brooklyn. Whenever he'd start a rant he'd always open it with his iconic line "Ayyy the Big Man's back, www.TheKidFromBrooklyn.com." In light of his use of 'Big Man' and that his comic material has genuinely made almost the whole server laugh at some point, he became canonised within the group and is parodied and quoted a great deal. Another saint such as 'Big Man Tyrone' is highly regarded due to their involvement in LOM lore, particularly after the video sent by him seen under the Halloween Anniversary Extravaganza of 2021. 
However, there are some sects of the server who believe in saints who are not officially canonised, or even others (cretins) who believe in other deities altogether. More on this can be found under 'The Gorf Takeover' (but be warned, do not fall for the God that they profess, there is only one lord). Other figures which are shunned include Big Chungus and (for a while) the Nostalgia Critic. However, after the Halloween Anniversary of 2022, the Critic became more respected due to his review of the LOM.
==== The Revolts ====
Written by Joker, talking of events probably in 2019-2020.
There have been multiple revolts on the server, however two of them are specifically remembered the most by the members. Most rebellions were lead by the villainous Elyag. During the first revolt, Elyag tried and failed to take power from the supreme leader Kelloggs and thus lead to the removal of Elyag's powers as Admin. This revolt was ended when the glorious supreme leader Kelloggs met in neutral territory and offered his admin powers back.
The Second notable revolt occurred when Elyag once again pissed off the glorious supreme leader and thus had his admin powers removed. This lead to him getting a backing of many members who left the server to form the new 'League of Mother's Two Electric Boogaloo'. Elyag and his right hand man Joker were both forgiven by the glorious supreme leader, and their place in the League of Mothers was restored.
==== The Gorf Takeover ====
Written by Shmexi
On the 13th August 2020, a large scale coup took place on the server under the command of Shmexi with his accomplices RoxyVelma and Elyag, with possibly even more help from other members. During this time, this extremist religious group took control of the server and began to change every aspect of the server with something to do with the mysterious individual named 'Gorf'. This Gorf seemed to be a broken English version of the popular ginger cat Garfield, with the group even changing the servers name to 'The Senate of Gorf/Gorfs Union' and changing all the chat room names, each member's nickname and even the server's picture with something to do with Gorf. This led to the forming of 'The Religion of Gorf' which fought to overthrow KBism the current religion of the server.
This all occurred whilst Kelloggs was preoccupied with something else and so upon him eventually realizing what had happened, he hired the aid of Rusty to create a protection for his server so that such a thing would never happen again (at least to this scale). Rusty developed the bot 'Praetorian Guard' to protect the server from anymore Gorf propaganda and thus the server was restored to its original order and everything/everyone was saved. Though the group fought hard for their religious freedom the bot slowly advanced eradicating any aspect or mention of Gorf, even getting to the point of removing any GIF available when you searched in 'Garfield' or 'Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties'. Rumor has it that the group are planning a return, but this is all rumor and has not been proven or enacted yet.

The Resurgence
After the very effective time (about 3 days) during the bots reign of censorship against anything gorf, a loophole was found. The autistic group could spell out whatever they wished with the discord letter emojis, and so Gorf returned. Before the bot could be updated by its fascist leader, one brain dead soldier who completely forgot about his admin powers took effect, though the bot out ranked him in the traditional way so he couldn't directly kick or ban it from the server. He found that he could ban the bot another way, by going into the server bot integrations he could manually remove its permissions until he could be kicked. And so the bot fell.
Discussions were made as to not make a bot of that kind in return there would be no uprising of that sort again. 
A peace treaty was proposed, though acknowledged by Kelloggs and Rusty, they showed no desire to sign it at first. One of the members to speak out against the peace, actively calling for violence and eradication (much like a certain someone with a very nice moustache). Showing a clear hatred, "PURGE is the only solution to your heresy. I WILL RESTART THE UNIVERSE JUST AS I HAVE DONE BEFORE". The followers of the prophet seeing this were hurt, they did not want such fighting and simply asked for peace, they would silence in return for no robot overlords. But this was clearly not good enough for the power hungry shadowy figure.
But the discussions still went ahead, the main instigators of The Gorf Takeover (Shmexi and Elyag) lead the discussions with Rusty and Kelloggs. Though at first they were reluctant thinking it would let the Gorf followers degrade the word of the one true KB, though this was not the intent of the treaty. Though it hurt the followers, they came to the agreement with themselves that they will silence the word of Gorf and prevent any such a takeover in return, all censor bots will be removed and none will be allowed on the server in the future as the bots simply fuel the autistic screeches and lead to spammers and even more fighting that needed. 
So the first and hopefully last treaty of such a kind was written, the first signers were Shmexi with a cool ass name from cooltext.com, Khajiit (signing as Bazza his alter-ego from another server), RoxyVelma and Elyag. After the discussions the very reluctant Kelloggs signed next, followed by Rusty.
==== The Halloween Anniversary Extravaganzas ====
For a proper detailed page on this topic read: The Halloween Anniversary Extravaganzas
As explained in the brief history above, the server has a yearly celebration of its birthday (it's as sad as it sounds), to celebrate the larger group joining the server on a date around October 31st 2018, also sharing the date with another more popular annual event, Halloween, thus getting its name. Though not officially regarded as an Anniversary Extravaganza, around the time of the LOM's first birthday in 2019, two traditions were created, with Rusty's 'Who Has The Least Life Competition', the scores of whom in the server have messaged the most, and Kellogg's changing the name of the type of government/group the Mothers would be living under that coming year. In the following years afterwards, the occasions have been more planned out and became proper costume parties too, where people come as literally whatever they want to come as. So far there has been four official celebrations for all the years afterwards, from 2020-2023.

==== The LOMCast ====
The LOMCast is the group's/Discord server's own Youtube channel made on January 24th 2021. It houses the discord servers podcast, which was run and edited by Shmexi. There are also other various videos uploaded by Kelloggs, Ash and Poppy such as video game footage and memes made by them too. The idea for the podcast/youtube channel truly came into being during the first Halloween Anniversary Extravaganza (2020), where Shmexi, Kelloggs and Pops discussed the idea of making one. In the upcoming years, we plan on adding much more content, whether it be based or utter bur bur cringe, so be on the lookout fellow BigMen.

==== The LOM-UNI ====
The LOM University, also known as the UoLoM or LOM-UNI, is the second Discord server related to the group. As the name suggests, it features many of the main League of Mothers members alongside some of their friends from their respective universities. It exists due to the strict rule of the main LOM server not allowing outsiders in (people who didn't go to their secondary school/college). Eventually, other people who didn't go or were not currently enrolled in uni were allowed to join this new server. The two main university groups (nicknamed) are The Burgersluts - the group of Shmexi. Though other members from the main LOM group, such as Pops and Bilbo eventually also joined this faction due to going to the same university later on. The other group are The Swans - the group of Kelloggs.
The LOM-UNI was majorly involved in the LOM's Third Minecraft Server, with the majority of both Burgersluts and Swans joining, alongside some other groups of uni's. A link to the world tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RANvYTxUDkY. It has also hosted the Halloween Anniversary Extravaganza's of 2022 and 2023, where members joining (the majority joining other than the LOM being the Burgersluts) celebrated the 4th and 5th Anniversaries of the group.
