## Overview of Events

Anarchy began by shuffling the different channels of the Duckpond into random positions. The Golden Goombs and the Black Lmones quickly became rivals as soon as they were created. However, Lmone and Goomb, the founders of those factions, both decided that they wanted to join idk any ideas. Bepno decided to forcibly adopt random people into his familia to grow it, and Gif decided that despite being a member of the Golden Goombs he would become a neutral observer of the factions, believing that he would decide the winner of anarchy.

On the second day Nintendo DS and the Feelix Royalists were founded, however the Feelix Royalists were rapidly deleted due to the large amounts of furry spam in their chat. Upon Bepno drafting Tanystropheus into the familia, Lmone was offended, and adopted the entire server into the Golden Goombs. On day 5, when the Bepno Familia was put up for execution, Lmone offered to remove the entire server from the Goombs, however this did not occur because pink was deleted instead.

Silently one day, the Golden Goombs role was removed from everyone, presumably by Ziggy. In response to this Lmone asked Ziggy to remove the permissions from everyone left in the Golden Goombs chat so Lmone would be the only one left. Instead, due to a communication error, Ziggy changed the permissions and made the Golden Goombs chat public for everyone to see. After a few days this was amended and the Golden Goombs chat was hidden once again. The Big Chungus Association was created by Fluffy around this time after stating his desire to lead a faction once agian.

On the 13th, Feelix announced he had seized power for the Gentle Fist, effectively ending the Anarchy but allowing Ziggy to continue to hold the role deletion votes. This was met with immediate backlash as Lmone and Goomb began to plot a rebellion in duckpond 3. Ziggy readily gave power to Goomb and Lmone when they asked for it, this resulted in Feelix removing their roles and making them prisoners in the gulag. Goomb was so offended by this he stated he would not be speaking in the Duckpond until further notice. During this time the Black Lmones were disbanded, and Goomb became the co-leader of the Golden Goombs.

The announcement Feelix sent: "In past years I have said that chaos can often be very advantageous. However, the disorder caused by the failure of the presidency and the Stardew Crusaders is only going to lead us into ruin. This server has been plagued by disorganization, role bloat, channel misuse, inconsistent permissions, and so much more. This ends today. A new order has been constructed on top of the strong principles drafted by Gene during his presidential term. The Duckpond is now on a journey towards a kind of prosperity that could only be dreamed of in years prior. Glory to the Duckpond and the Gentle Fist!"

However, Goomb was able to convince Bepno to seize the throne for himself, and Bepno deleted the chairman role and imprisoned Feelix. He also released Goomb and Lmone and created the The Scrunkly Crusaders to lead the Duckpond. The Scrunkly Crusaders only held power for a short time before power was shifted around again and the Crusaders lost power.

Anarchy ended after the vote on December 1st 2021, as no votes were recieved. As it became evident that the largest faction would have a major advantage in the competition to decide who the next ruler would be, idk any ideas was merged into the Golden Goombs and Bepno Familia was merged into the Gentle Fists, creating the Gentle Familia. It was determined that the leader of the Duckpond would be decided through a UHC on their newly restarted Minecraft server.

### UHC Failure

The UHC was attempted by members of each remaining faction. However, the game was set up by Zigzem using command blocks so overall the execution was scuffed and had many issues.

Due to the lack of members showing up the Gentle Familia complained that it was unfair prompting Ziggy to give them a handicap and for Soyniik to abandon the Golden Goombs entirely to act as a third party. However, this change caused members of the Golden Goombs to claim the game was unfair to them now. The game continued with the Gentle Familia winning however, none of the Golden Goomb memebers accepted this loss and asked for a rematch that would never come to fruition.

### The End of Anarchy

Sometime in early July 2022, Bepno and Lm1xb asked Ziggy to restore the Stardew Crusaders as there was no end in sight for the anarchy. Both factions had lost interest in controlling the Duckpond and wanted a return to stability. Both factions, the Gentle Familia and Golden Goombs still exist however, they no longer hold power in the Duckpond.

## Role Execution Votes

Prior to anarchy, the duckpond had 104 different roles, mostly due to multiple Halloween and Christmas events. Ziggy decided that he would use anarchy to publicly execute roles because it took way too long to add new ones. Faction and moderator roles were not immune to being put up for vote, so if a faction role was voted it would be disbanded and if a mod role was voted whatever mods relied on those permissions would lose them.
