The FiddleRaids

The FiddleRaids are referring to the campaigns against the AHHS Fiddler on the Roof 2021 Discord Server by The Meme Council.
== Buildup ==
For months, Tactician had been suffering at the hand of new management on the Fiddler on the Roof 2021 Discord, aka the FiddleCord. Despite being the original owner, Tactician was treated as dirt and could only watch as the new admin, a good at yoyoing male degen who's username is "Gossip Girl", slowly turned the FiddleCord into a cesspool of madness. Gossip Girl invited several of their personal friends and gave them mod permissions, and refused to give any power back to Tactician, only making fun of him when he asked and becoming a truly pathetic dictator.
Over time Tactician had been talking to the original based Fiddler on the Roof members, which are referred to as "Based People", or "BP" for short. Tactician eventually decided that he was either going to leave the FiddleCord, or raid it. And he would be fortunate enough to learn about The Couch Club raids committed by the Meme Council that very same week. On 1/13/2021, Tactician acknowledged the Meme Council's raid skills despite having very few people. It wasn't until 1/17/2021 when he suggested an actual raid.
== Organization, Planning and Recruiting ==
Initially plans were formed. Tactician suggested an actual raid on 1/17/2021, and the next day Tactician inferred to how the Council would go about raiding the FiddleCord. Every memeber active heartily accepted, hyped that they would get to do an organized raid against enemies and torturers of Tactician. Some, like Meme Lord and Sly Frog Fry, were veterans of the Couch Club Raids and longed to have another raid like that, while new memebers such as Snazzmaster and Ringo were hyped to be apart of one for the first time.
And so, after heightened activity on the Council for the raid, Tactician made a thread on 1/19/2021, which would house all talk and activity regarding to the raid. Meme Lord, vehemently hating threads, allowed this one, as it would be more subtle and didn't require joining a separate server for planning. More recruiting's were made, and eventually the raiders were as follows:
=== FiddleRaiders: ===
* Tactician
* The Snazzmaster
* Mike Kachowski
* The Meme Lord
* Sly Frog Fry
* Ringo Origo (Missed raid)
MondayMan, while included in the beginning, could not join the raid due to the time and date it was set on. He left on his own accord later that day.
Custom memes were made for the raid, a very professional one being crafted by Mike Kachowski. As the hype grew, plans and rules were made both by Meme Lord and Tactician. Meme Lord, having experience and remembering the flaws of the Couch Club Raids, made lists of instructions to make sure no trace could be left behind for FiddleCord mods to find. Tactician, being the only memeber currently in the FiddleCord gave inside information and instructed the Memebers how exactly to raid. Due to the cringe people in the FiddleCord and how they may react to Tactician in person, Tactician had to make the unfortunate decision to now allow any memes that were 'offensive', aka anything that would make someone on Twitter mad. While this was a setback for some, there was more than enough memes to go around for the raid.
I suppose its worth explaining what the actual raid would be. This is where both Tactician and Meme Lord combined plans to really harass the FiddleCord. The main assault would be a comical barrage of memes, far stronger than the Couch Club Raids. Six(later five) memebers would spam 100-300 memes in their desginated channels. In between, they would ping 'Gossip Girl' constantly just to add to the annoyance. This assault would take place at 2 AM, a normal time for the graduates, but for highschoolers such as Tactician and 'Gossip Girl', this was an outrageous time to be awake.
It was decided that most of the FiddleRaiders would use alt accounts, Snazz, Tactician and Ringo doing so due to their presence at school, and Mike Kachowski I have no idea. Meme Lord and Sly Frog Fry used their main accounts due to nobody knowing who they are in the FiddleCord. Therefore, a group dm was needed to send the invite to all these alts, and on 1/20/2022, it was created by Tactician, and all FiddleRaiders were added. Tactician did routine checks to see how active the FiddleCord members actually were, and determined it was a fair gambit to raid at 2 AM as nobody was active that late.
Thus, everything was ready. At 1:40 AM, for the first time in Meme Council History, 6 memebers, including Megamind, were in the Meme Council VC at the same time. The memebers made some final memes and compiled their raid folders as Megamind played Hugh Neutron Out of Touch, My Ride From Outer Space, and Stal. Finally, at 2 am, it was time.
== The FiddleRaid ==
Tactician sent the join link under his alt, and all went according to plan, until...
We were all deceived. Not only was 'Gossip Girl' online, he was active. As 6 new 'members' joined the FiddleCord and hastily deleted their join messages, 'Gossip Girl' was already typing and demanding who was joining. Despite this unseen factor, the FiddleRaiders followed the plan and began their raid. However, after not even 40 seconds, each of them were banned. It would be quite the setback, if it weren't for Tactician. 'Gossip Girl' was still an idiot, and he would eventually learn it was a mistake to not ban Tactician too. 
Tactician still had some perms left, including moderating bans. Hence, immediately after the FiddleRaiders were banned, they were re-added. This process repeated itself over the course of about 5 minutes: 'Gossip Girl' panicking and banning the FiddleRaiders, Tactician adding them back, FiddleRaiders send a batch of memes as quickly as possible, repeat. 'Gossip Girl' got so spooked trying to remove everyone as quickly as possible that he just started kicking the FiddleRaiders instead of banning them, which meant some of our messages stayed behind. Eventually 'Gossip Girl' panicked and removed mod permissions from every mod on the FiddleCord. Tactician was without power, and we were once again locked out.
But, fortunately, 'Gossip Girl' is still an idiot and didn't know how to disable invite links, and thus, after a quick alt-account change, and a vpn, and only 6 mintues after, every FiddleRaider rejoined once again. This last batch was the deadliest. While some FiddleRaiders were kicked/banned rather quickly, some, like Mike Kachowski and Meme Lord, were able to empty their folders 3 times over before being removed. And it was then that, after 'Gossip Girl' started to lose their shrek at Tactician after finding out what an Audit Log was, that it was decided tonight's raid was over. 'Gossip Girl' threatens Tactician that if one more thing occurs, he would be banned. Without Tactician it would be impossible to join again, assuming 'Gossip Girl' eventually disables the permavite. Strangely, after going off on a rant and angrily lecturing Tactician, 'Gossip Girl' posts a cringe "certified hashbrown moment" meme, which is screenshotted and sent to the group DM by Tactician. Meme Lord, unable to stop himself, joins with a new alt, immediately posts the "no hashbrowns?" Megamind image, and is banned in 8 seconds.
Sure would be a shame if hashbrown images were weaponized...
== FiddleRaid Aftermath ==
While the raid did not go as planned, it was very successful, being the largest and most coordinate raid the Meme Council has ever pulled off, dwarfing the Couch Club Raids in both planning, size, and the scale of the server being raided. Every memeber enjoyed the event, and the raid had done half it's job. While the FiddleCord unfortunately still exists, Tactician has devised an almost foolproof plan to finish the job in the near future...
== The Fires of HashBrowngard ==
And so prompted one of the most industrialized moments for the Council. Each FiddleRaider, out of spite and pure stupidity created nothing but Hashbrown-related memes for two weeks. They weren't done yet, they were going to get a good raid if it killed them. Thus, a new plan was made, and a new armada of memes forged.
The new plan was arguably foolproof. It had been decided, obviously, that since certain idiots are apparently up and awake at 2 am, that the next raid should be done when said idiot is incapable of using their phone. Of course, since Gossip Girl is quite idiotic they also used their phone while in class. So, only one option remained: Midterms. Phones are taken away during midterms, and thus, a schedule was posted and pinned in the Raid thread, and plans were made. February 3rd, 10:15-11:45 AM. 
This changed the layout of the plan quite a bit. Since it was during school hours, Tactician and Ringo could no longer participate, as they had midterms themselves. However, those who are in college, aka Mike Kachowski, Sly Frog Fry, and Meme Lord, were free to do as they pleased. The Snazzmaster also happened to not have to take his math midterm. So a new team was formed:
=== The HashRaiders: ===
* Mike Kachowski
* Meme Lord
* Sly Frog Fry
* The Snazzmaster
This new raid was on a far, far larger scale than the previous one. No longer did they have a hit-and-run mission, with maybe a few hundred memes and a quick escape when a mod came online. This was a full-out siege, as they now had a full HOUR (and possibly more) of free, uninterrupted, mod-less spam time. So, every HashRaider, as well as Tactician, created a bountiful amount of custom Hashbrown Memes. This became the theme of this entire raid. The simple fact that Gossip Girl had the gall, the nerve, the brass, to just post an insipid, stupid 'hashbrown moment' meme as a response to the official raid, and to Tactician, during his rage, was so incredibly stupid that The Council decided to really drive that message home, and to perhaps even make Gossip Girl hate hashbrowns for the rest of their natural life.For two straight weeks the HashRaiders crafted many great memes, while Tactician secretly created 7 more permanent invite links, as Gossip Girl never figured out that they could delete/monitor those. However, late into the forging, Tactician realized that his hash-memeing had been in vain, for he could not participate in the FiddleHash Raid. Thus he sent his whole collection to the Raid thread, where each HashRaider promised they'd send them alongside their own onslaughts. 
As the raid neared, the hype built, and it was decided that a spy should be appointed to stay behind and get a view of the chaos, aftermath, and response of the FiddleHash raid, and thus Snazzmaster was recruited to make a fake account and join, with no profile picture or jarring username. Disguised as a known member in Gossip Girl's social circle, it was genius. The Snazzmaster, however, did not create the account that night. However, that same night, Mike Kachowski created something grand. He had devised a bot using python code, that would individually select HashMemes from his folder and send them into the server one-by-one. This would be far more effective, as if any of the mods/Gossip Girl were to delete the images they'd have to do it individually. The bot was also automatic, so Mike Kachowski could do other things while it spammed for him. Tactician sent the 7 permalinks, not to be used, but to be kept safe by the raiders, as he would not be able to check on our progress until after the raid was completed.
There is temporary fear as it is discovered Gossip Girl was sick the day previously, which may mean he wouldn't show up to school tomorrow, but, thankfully, he did.
RAID DAY
It was time, but a few things needed to be sorted out first. First off, the Snazzmaster never created "the spy" account, and Mike Kachowski forgot his login information for his alt. Thus, the FiddleHash raid was delayed by about 15 minutes. Tactician gave the go-ahead as he confirmed phones were indeed taken away. And thus, at 10:32 AM, the FiddleHash raid commenced.
== The FiddleHash Raid ==
The raid started off calm, as the waiting HashRaiders, after deleting their join messages, made sure it was clear. A few HashRaiders were stuck behind due to forgetting to enable their vpns, but it was an all-clear. 
Mike Kachowski instantly got to work with his bot and began spamming, The Snazzmaster dropping in soon after. The Meme Lord and Sly Frog Fry then dropped in. While some of the HashRaiders exclusively used the HashMemes they created, Meme Lord was spiteful that he didn't get to send "Nigel feom rio" 100 times in the first raid and thus used the original Raid folder memes alongside the hashmemes for this raid. The raid was going extremely well. With no formal plan this time, the HashRaiders moved between channels as they pleased, emptying their folders several hundred times over.
After a half hour, a FiddleCord member did come online, but either didn't check the server or didn't care, and went back offline. That would be the only activity from anyone other than a HashRaider on that server for the entirety of the raid. At 11:33 AM, Meme Lord realized that the HashRaiders could freely make threads. This was not something even considered for the first raid, creating whole new channels filled with more Hashmemes was dubious. Thus, this was done on every channel, twice on some, by The Snazzmaster and Meme Lord. Since the everyone ping did not work, Meme Lord instead compiled every available role ping and added everybody he could to these threads to maximize damage. 
While Tactician and some others were initially nervous that we were gonna begin/end the raid too early/late and Gossip Girl would get an opportunity to ban us, thus deleting our messages, it was found that we could go far longer than we initially planned. The original end time was 11:15 AM, but the raid went all the way until 11:47 AM. Roughly an hour and ten minutes of spam. Some memebers spammed nonstop since the beginning, and thus Meme Lord consistently checked exactly how many memes were being posted using the search+filters function of Discord, and gave updates to The Raid thread, often demanding "more"(be sent).
While the VPN gave some connection problems for the HashRaiders, it would eventually smooth out and entire groups of images could be sent rapid-fire. The raid was going so exceptionally smoothly, and, as requested, Gossip Girl pings were sent constantly in between images. At 11:40 AM, The Snazzmaster added his spy alt to the server and marked it as invisible. It blended right in. The HashRaiders were all simultaneously logged in to their main accounts and alts so they could switch between for updates, and a warning if Gossip Girl were to join.
At around 11:45 it was decided it'd be wise to start leaving and ending off the raid, as the midterms were now all official over. As a memento to Tactician and a fine finale for the raid overall, Tactician's hashmeme : 'server's closed' was spammed 10-20 times in every channel by the raiders before leaving. As Tactician came online and the HashRaiders left, the Meme Council celebrated in The Raid thread. Tactician congratulated our actions in the FiddleCord. Sure enough, not even 2 minutes after we left, Gossip Girl came online.
Gossip Girl was quite angry about what happened and let loose on Tactician on Crapchat, making up a bountiful of lies and acting like he was "overwhelmed" by the experience. Meme Lord, suddenly realizing that he had not posted the 'no hashbrowns?' Megamind image even once during the raid, as he had forgotten to put it into his raid folder, asks their spy, Snazzmaster, if the coast is clear, quickly joins, posts the image in their announcements channel, and then leaves, as a final hashbrown meme for the raid.
As a grand total, 3,653 messages were sent in the FiddleCord by the HashRaiders, A quite comical number. It is worth noting that Gossip Girl is quoted with saying "now I have to delete 500 messages". It must suck to not be able to count. The raid was a complete and utter success, permanently turning the graveyard that was the FiddleCord into a bountiful hashbrown haven, with stuff like 'colombia.mp4' and 'nigel feom rio' mixed in. 
Only one other FiddleCord member inquired as to what just happened after this raid, to which Gossip Girl stupidly pinned the entire ordeal on Tactician, not seeming to get the massive hint laid all around him. Tactician, was, shockingly, not banned after this and instead given a simple 'shame' role. Tactician, still upset the server wasn't dead as it should have been a while ago, decided to leave, and planned to enact an exodus with the BP's. 
== A New Era ==
But then, something incredible happened. Officer elections for choir were announced, and it seems Gossip Girl decided he wanted to feel like he accomplished something in life. So he decided to run for co-president of choir, and it appears no one told him that the choir officers mean LITERALLY nothing and do literally nothing, because he enacted a comically overdone campaign for co-president. He sent a full (poorly-written) resume to most choir members, including Tactician. Tactician immediately responded "give me back my crown and my vote is yours", and...
Gossip Girl relented. Over the previous weeks, Tactician had been consistently bringing up the idea of being given back ownership "since the server was never going to get used anyway " after the raid, and it seems this request finally broke Gossip Girl, because within a few minutes, Tactician's rightful place on the throne was returned. Of course, he doesn't plan on voting for Gossip Girl anyway.
But Tactician wasn't ready to just let the server die. As soon as school was over, he enacted a full overhaul of the server, rebranding it to be a discord server meant for the entire music department instead of just the musical. Hopefully, the treachery of Gossip Girl can be forgotten as new students and discussions frolic in, and the original spirit of Fiddlecord can prosper for years to come.
== The Torment of the Unhashbrowned ==
Despite Tactician's optimistic outlook for the server's future, he did NOT want Gossip Girl or his cronies to be in on the fun. So he devised a plan in secret:
All of the server's members would have one of two major roles: Hashbrown, and Not Hashbrown.
"Hashbrowns" would be regular members with full access to the true server, with every facet of the department represented.
But "Not Hashbrowns", consisting of Gossip Girl and his crew, would only be given access to a single fake category, containing a number of dummy channels (one of which was a read-only, repurposed channel called "hashbrown-hugh-memorial" which literally only contained messages from the raid) meant to replicate the actual server. "Hashbrowns" could not see this category.
What this effectively meant was that "Not Hashbrowns" were locked in a 4-person echo chamber, and they didn't even know it. The rest of the server would function as normal, while they would be locked in a small, hashbrown-filled nightmarescape with the only escape being the "leave server" button.
Finally, on 8/22/2022, Gossip Girl left the FiddleCord, thus ending his saga for good.
== Conclusion ==
And the Great War of the Hash ended thus. After months of bitter conflict, Tactician had reclaimed his server, and the Gossip Girl Group was condemned to a hashbrown purgatory for their crimes. A grand victory for the Council, to be sure.
