PHcord

The Possible History Discord (colloquially as PHcord) is a Discord server for the niche internet microcelebrity known only as Possible History. The server has had a rich and complex history over the year and a half it has existed, with various coups, dramas, and purges, both real and fake, having occurred over its lifespan.
== History ==
The server has a long, rich, and complex history, spanning the past almost two years.
=== Inactive/Early Era (2022-Mid 2023) ===
PHcord was founded on 3 May 2022, by Possible History himself. The very first account to join was a Patreon bot, prompting PH to send the first message in server history, "Hello mr Patreon man." The first real person to join (to our knowledge) was Evry1. This era was mostly characterized by inactivity, as any server starting out is. 
Any surviving members from this time period have the 'Founding Mother' role with them. 
=== Old Guard Era (Mid 2023-November) ===
Sometime in (presumably) mid 2023, the server took a more edgy swing. Wolfkillerq, Chef, and Clemens, now collectively referred to as the Old Guard, rose to prominence in the server as moderators. Mocha, Rolie, The Emperor, Forever Active, and many other notable members were banned in the summer.
On September 12, a white South African named Jeddo joined the server and quickly befriended the Old Guard. He got along quite well with Clemens, sharing transphobic and generally anti-LGBT views. 
The era came to an end in early November, after Clemens got demoted for abuse and crashing the Discord around the 7th or 8th. The other two decided to leave in protest, but not before purging food chat, server quotes, and all their messages on the way out. Days later on the 10th, Jeddo would be banned.
=== Interbellum (November 2023-January 2024) ===
After the Old Guard's purge and the assassination of the not-so-nice-South-African, the server began cleansing itself of their influence. 
=== aPHartheid Era (January 2024-March 2024) ===
Main article: aPHartheid Era
The aPHartheid Era began on January 7th 2024 with the creation of 3 new reg-exclusive chats. The period was characterized by the implementation of aPHartheid and increasing tensions in the server, primarily between the regs and staff. New chats exclusive to server regulars were added, alongside a new system for reg chat entry. This, combined with the perceived decrease in IQ of general chat, aided by the increased segregation, resulted in high amounts of reg elitism. Tensions between the regs and staff over the rules actually being enforced and reg elitism led to a 3 week-long crackdown on the regs, until aPHartheid was repealed on March 11th. PHcord levelflation and jesterflation also peaked during this era resulting in countermeasures being instated.
=== Post-aPHartheid Era (March 2024-present) ===
== Coups ==
During the Old Guard Era the server fell victim to a series of coups by a variety of different historical and fictional regimes. The roles and nicknames for the mods would change during these coups, as well as the server name, icon, and sometimes even channel names. Known coups included:
* A joint Arab-Israeli state
* The United Provinces of Illyria
* PMC Wagner
* The Greater Union State of Belarus
* Caesar's Legion
* The United States of America
* The Polish Home Army
* The Papal States
* The Ancien Régime (Old Monarchist France)
* Napoleonic France
* Cult of Caudillo
* Albanian Molemen
== PHeudalism ==
The server practices a special form of government known as PHeudalism, wherein the nobles, or those who have high levels, are awarded with special benefits. The roles page goes "more in depth" on the roles, but the important milestones are:
* Image perms in general at 15
* Server quote perms at 40
