The D.A.P

The D.A.P (Dead Apes Party) is a political party that rose to prominence within the server's Exclusive lounge. Founded during the heat of a wild political debate, The D.A.P quickly became the de-facto choice for the server, and it's numbers began to rise in the thousands. Flags were formed, banners were raised, and many apes were destroyed in celebration. The D.A.P later came under heavy fire from a lone party, who threatened to bring the organization down with fear tactics, but the group persevered. However, the group was forced to change it's ways and was later driven underground after a random picture of a car was posted alongside some completely random gibberish, and thus began the war on comedy.

## Membership

Founded by the faces of the exclusive lounge, edo197, The Goker, Shabe and Lared Jeto, the party began to grow in ranks, as more flocked to the group and it's beliefs.

The D.A.P lives with the creed of "Anyone can be a member, as long as they blend an ape," and their membership consists of most of the Exclusive lounge, including one of the King Vampires, Bananasplit.

## Trials and Tribulations

Despite having risen to prominence within the server, there were “Multiple People” uncomfortable with the murder and mutilation of primates. After a heated debate with one member of the moderation team, it was learned that only one person stood in the way of the budding political party. This person was known within D.A.P circles as “Scooter.”

Despite being a lone agent, Scooter appeared to have some sway as to how the server operated, being a chat helper and also married to one of the Moderators. After some back and forth between the two camps and a minor skirmish in southern Belgium, things seemed to settle down for a bit before Shabe and Edo197 acquired chat helper.

Prior to this, The D.A.P were communicating their ideals and values through the Vigenere Cipher, due to Scooter and the Moderator’s influence. Things seemed peaceful until Scooter somehow cracked the code, launching an all out assault on the D.A.P.

War broke out in #Exclusive-lounge, Scooter had a mental breakdown due to Shabe and Edo197 posting coded dead ape content and practically laughing in their face about it, and the two were stripped of their Chat Helper roles and incarcerated for seven days. After the dust settled, a declaration was posted in #Exclusive-lounge stating that any and all dead ape discussion would be punished to the fullest extent of Discord Law.

D.A.P members tried to circumvent this by creating increasingly more obscure coded messages, which worked for a time. After a grueling 7 days behind bars, Edo197 and Shabe were released from captivity. #Exclusive-lounge was now under strict surveillance thanks to Scooter, and any and all D.A.P talk, support or celebration was banned. This would last for several weeks.

Things seemed dire for the group until several fresh new faces secretly joined the organisation. With the advent of Voice Chat, D.A.P members could once again verbally communicate their disdain for primates to eachother without fear of punishment, depending on which moderators were online.

After a few more weeks in this D.A.P restrictive world, Scooter would later reveal that they loved Pedophiles very very much, and heavily empathised with them. They would go on a near hour long tangent about how “They’re people too,” and needed to be rehabilitated as opposed to shot in the fucking head.

Between this, and their moderator spouse taking a brief reprieve from the server, the wheels on the D.A.P train began to move once again. Other moderators would begin openly supporting the organisation, including Admin “Bananasplit”. Things were moving steadily, but what truly cemented the D.A.P’s return was Shabe hitting level 100. Their inaugural message was a war cry for the D.A.P, and support became even more fervent.

As for Scooter, considering they loved nonces, their credibility swiftly diminished. On top of this, with restrictions being lifted and more D.A.P support coming in, they ultimately chose to wave the white flag and surrendered unconditionally. The D.A.P is now stronger than ever and continues to thrive, mostly thanks to these conflicts.
