## History

**Founding**

Clone VPN started on July 16, 2023, when The Boss sent threats to various creators, notably Jonny RaZeR, Phaleur, Bundun, Danno Cal Drawings, RoyalPear, Joe Caine, Mogswamp, and knsplash. He told them that if they don't quit posting after a week, so by July 23, they will 'simply be replaced'. The Boss then created Clone VPN to enact his plan.

**The Email and Clones**

By July 23, Mogswamp and knsplash were the only ones who listened to The Bosses warnings. The Boss then sent emails to the remaining 6, offering to sponsor them and give them $20.000, posing as a VPN. Jonny RaZeR, Phaleur, Bundun, Riggy, and RoyalPear accepted the sponsorship, so they were able to get cloned. Joe Caine didn't accept the sponsorship so he was safe. When they accepted, their firewall was taken down, and it sent a signal to the cloning machine at The Facility to initiate cloning. The 5 who accepted the sponsorship were cloned. Jonny RaZeR, Phaleur, and Bundun were cloned successfully, Riggy somewhat somewhat successfully (glitched because of the cloning machine not knowing Riggy's species), and RoyalPear was unsuccessfully cloned the first time so they used a prototype. The cloning machine monitor lit on fire when cloning Riggy. Because the cloning machine also acted as a teleporter, the clones were teleported to where the signal came from. The clones quickly took over. The Boss delivered another message, announcing that the preparations are almost complete and it is far too late for them.

Creators Replaced

From July 23-July 30, 2023, the clones were posting like normal like nothing happened. Clone Pear, later revealed to canonically be called RoyalMelon, was the only clone who seemed skeptical of CloneVPN, with the rest acting like everything is completely normal.

## Downfall

* Before The Final Hours had begun, you could access a link in the CloneVPN website called "http://clonevpn.com/the-final-hours", The clickable QR code led to The Final Hours.
* Joe Caine used a secret code to shut down the Clone VPN website. In reality though, there was a misunderstanding that caused Squarespace to shut it down on July 26, 2023
* The Facility was successfully destroyed by Jonny RaZeR, Riggy and RoyalMelon towards the end of Season 1 on July 29, 2023
* All the clones were defeated on July 30, 2023

On July 23, The Boss also created a website and ad for CloneVPN to make it extra convincing. Most of the creators except Joe Caine, Mogswamp and knsplash fell for it. The website and ad listed the victims as 'partners' and claimed to be a security company, in the hopes of tricking people into supporting them.

**Downfall**

RoyalMelon Switches Sides

On July 26, 2023, RoyalMelon officially switched sides, coming to his senses and abandoning Clone VPN. But because The Boss kills clones who don't listen, he still listened for a while. When he was told to capture RoyalPear, he did but felt bad about it. On July 29, RoyalMelon was in The Facility, being forced to keep RoyalPear trapped. The two became friends after they both agreed to stop CloneVPN.

Website taken down

On July 29, Riggy overheard the conversation and came in to free both RoyalPear and RoyalMelon.
