## History

### Camping Enthusiasts

The exact date of the creation of the Stardew Crusaders is unknown. However, the reason behind its creation is. Sometime during the Camping Enthusiasts arc, Feelix, Zigzem, Goombario, and Lm1xb started playing the video game Stardew Valley. Afterwards, the role for Stardew Crusader was created. Although Gene and Plonk did not play, they were incorporated into the group because of their close involvement and relationship with the others. Eventually, the group's activity in the game waned, and they no longer play the game.

The Stardew Crusaders lead Camping Enthusiasts until the Second Teaguening when the Camping Enthusiasts server was destroyed. The Crusaders were scattered and all their power lost.

### The Duckpond

Shortly after the Second Teaguening a group chat was created just for the Crusaders, with the defeat of Screenshot and the creation of the Duckpond; the Crusaders regained power as the moderators of the server. With careful consideration and planning another Teaguening has been avoided.They all participated in the Minecraft Server, completing many adventures together, until it eventually fell into disuse. There was a period in January 2020 when Lm1xb was presumed dead and an application for someone else to join the Crusaders was created, however it was quickly revealed Lm1xb was still alive and the application process was dropped.

Power in the Duckpond had been passed around democratically, aside from during Zissy Takeover 2019. Since Rif had left on May 22nd the Crusaders have quietly retook power. For an uncertain reason on September 7th 2020, Feelix decided to revoke Lm1xb's Stardew Crusader role and then Goombario's as well when he called Feelix out. Feelix continued his tirade until Ziggy finally revoked all his power and restored the Crusader roles. In response to this outrage Goombario created the Duckpond 3, which became archived shortly after. On September 29th, 2020, Rif returned to the Duckpond and immediately was given the Supreme Leader role once again.

With the rise of Mr. Z, the Crusaders decided to hold an election to choose who should lead the Duckpond. During this Feelix would perpetrate another coup and would turn the server to Nekotopia once again. However, this was short lived. The election was also put on hold until Mr. Z's defeat, but, after his sudden disappearance after October, the election was scheduled for January 20th, 2021. Gene would win the election and become the first president of the Duckpond.

After a long discussion Bepno was incorporated into the Stardew Crusaders on July 17th, 2021, after the Pee Pee Creek trip. Bepno had become a very involved member and consistently interacted with the group in real life. This prompted the members to allow him into the group.

### The Anarchypond

With the onset of an anarchy state in early November 2021, all forms of leadership were effectively dismantled this included the Stardew Crusaders. While the group still existed, their power had been removed. On November 6th, the Stardew Crusader role was chosen for the execution however, the role survived this vote. On November 9th the role was chosen once again, this time it won the vote and was deleted. A few days later on November 13th, Feelix and Gene would seize power for themselves instating themselves as Chairman and Vice Chairman. Their rule would only last for 2 days as a rebellion was brewing behind the scenes. Bepno instated himself as Chairman and created the Scrunkly Crusaders. The Scrunkly Crusaders contained the same members and same power as the Stardew Crusaders. Feelix and Gene would be allowed into the group as well.

Despite returning, there was still very little stability in the Duckpond. Power struggles between Feelix, Gene and the Scrunkly Crusaders continued later into the month as well until the role was ultimately deleted. Eventually only 2 factions remained vying for power however, no conclusion was met and quietly in July 2022 the Stardew Crusaders returned to power.
