Ramen

"I have a lot of spite for the French"

### Debut

Minecraft Survival Episode 1 (Found village and Jesus!) (NOT For Kids!) - Dec 14, 2019

## In the beginning, there was fish.

Back in 2017, a simple man from the State of Connecticut had an idea. *"Hey, it'd be fun if a friend of mine made some kind of funny video like that Filthy Frank guy does!"* Little did he know, this idea would lead to the best part of his entire life. The foundations, building, and maintenance of the Scum Fuck Ramen Boy community.

The name... 'Scum Fuck Ramen Boy'... a mishmash of old interests and new habits. An example, the name 'RamenBoy' began as a joking name from a Teacher after I tried to imitate Filthy Frank and ate Ramen in class. 'Scum Fuck', however, came from Tyler the Creator - an actually decent influence.

And so it was... the video was made. On an account long deleted, a video long privated, we made a stupid skit. I mean our parents found out and it was just absolutely nasty but... it was a start. The spark that got the cart rolling into the fun of Content Creation. Since then it's been my absolute dream to do this for the rest of my life. I'd say I am making good progress.

But enough about RamenIRL lore, you're here for actual Ramen Lore

## How I met your mothe- I mean the foundations.

### Ruinscraft...

what a wonderful server. I recall it like it was yesterday. I, staying at my father's house downstate, had been watching a lot of Bokoen1 and Minecraft content... and was interested in joining something that brought the two together! Now, EarthMC had a queue and I am impatient... so I went to the second biggest. MCAtlas. On the first day, I was lavabucketed by CCP Border Security, lied to Federal Agents, and was going to get greifed. But I was hooked.

After being greifed, I decided to move off to my temporary holding place, southern Connecticut. Upon arriving, Adoubs and I met. Don't really remember it, all I know is that I was one thousand dollars in debt to him before you could say "Wait what do you mean the capital isn't Acadia"!

Months later, in Bosnia (the start of all great stories), I felt mischievous and felt like trolling some wehraboos. I needed a target, though, so I took a Greek man's horse. This Greek man- was ironnbread. We fought a little war (which I proudly won) in the streets of Bosnia, and then went back to usual. One day I was bored and wanted to call random discord users, and saw him on the list from when we were talking about the horse. I called, and he was the only person to actually pick up. We've been close since.

### XylumEarth

This is where I met most other members of the S.F.T.V. cast, and it's when the community really solidified into a true group. I settled in Connecticut again, not before a few bouts across the globe though. I ran for President of the U.S.A, and won with a majority. Ironnbread just wasn't as epic as me. I helped TheBigSal in a revolt in Greenland... and by helped I mean got killed by lag... I met Quara (who was the owner of the server) and I met most of the old founding members like Dako and Azure during this timeframe. This is when Ramen's Lounge first opened in it's modern form.

### YouTube History

When making content, I only recently figured out any kind of 'consistent branding'. It went from recorded-but-never-uploaded-and-now-deleted Victoria Two footage, to barely edited footage of me playing a game, to a brief period of Adoubs editing, to a kind of Adult Swim ripoff, to the modern SFTV branding. Regardless, content has been even less consistent.

Now, mostly News has been posted but finally new series are starting. EU4 Multiplayer, HOI4 Multiplayer and the NightTimeSMP take up most streams at least on twitch, and will soon probably clog the YouTube as well. The Friendlocke is seemingly on hiatus as nobody can show up, but that's alright since it's such a massive undertaking anyways. All fully edited videos will likely be placed in an unlisted playlist soon enough, but for now... if you want to see an old video come contact me and I'll unlist it and send it to you.

Not gonna unlist Vods though. Don't feel like it

### How I met Sheeve & Cookie

Shut up I am not telling you. You'll find out eventually. Not for now.

## SMPs, and why Lore is fun

### The first

The first official 'SMP' that was hosted with the SFRB community actually wasn't the Fishbowl SMP, but instead was the Cave SMP. This lasted a mere three episodes, and had such characters as RamenBoy, AzureBlue0, Ironnbread, TTKGuy, and Adoubs I believe. It was a true proto-SMP, I don't even recall how it was hosted.

### The one after that

The Fishbowl SMP was, and perhaps may still be, the most ambitious project that SFRB ever managed. It hosted most of the active community at the time, even including more niche characters at the time such as TTKGuy- and crossovers like KingBoyHalo. The 'Lore' of the SMP was very simple, however loosely based on the period of tension before WW1. Most lore was scrapped, as Witches and Adoubs killed Ramen when they weren't supposed to - and not a single person from Ramen's 'alliance' showed up. It died pretty soon after, as XylumEarth re-opened and it became much more popular.

### Swag swag

Swag SMP was even more grand, but nowhere near as successful. It ran successful 'Adult-Swim' style ads on Twitter and TikTok, and was greatly hyped up. It was another simple SMP, but it used the origins+ modpack. It had a lot less people, mostly running off the most popular in the group like Ramen, Fungus, and a handful of less significant at the time like SpiffyGaster and N64Gaming.

It shut down due to arguments between Ramen and N64 about how the server should be run, after N64 was greatly inactive in running the server. It had great potential, but it's timing was horrible as it aligned with a rather less-than-sunny page in Ramen's book which greatly reduced the content output. F in the chat for SwagSMP, it will be missed.

### The Nighttime SMP

Here we are now... in the best situation SMP-wise since Fishbowl.

The NightTime SMP is run by Nightmarical, and a group from the Earthbound SMP discord and their friends. One day, I was just kinda in bed when Acedeuce dm'd me saying "Join this discord". I did, and only as I was falling asleep did I realize 'holy shit I just got invited to an SMP'

Lore-wise... go read their wiki! It's linked right HERE!

I am sure you'll all enjoy... it's a great Community and space there.

## Notable Skins

Ramen's base skin, wearing a simple hoodie and sweatpants. The skin used when a new one hasn't been made yet, or for series where a skin isn't required.Ramen's skin used in both the Nighttime and Swag SMPs, a simple blue shirt with baggy beige pants, and a kind of belt ? rope kidna thing?? holding it up? Also a puffy thing around the neck. Do I know what it is? No but it goes where the hood of the hoodie usually would. So. Yeah.Back when RamenBoy was in Jugoslavia on MCAtlas... was a thorn in the side of many-a-fascist. Proud of Bosnia!Ramen's suit when he ran for United States President in 2020. NDC 4 PRESIDENT!Ramen's suit when doing big business,,, don't worry about my business practicesI lost a bet.
