Boo's Pizza II

***Boo's Pizza II: Tentative Title*** (also referred to as ***Boo's Pizza II: More Toppings, Boo's Pizza II: Hold the Pineapple,*** among other names) is a roleplay on ZeldaDungeon Forums created by AwdryFan1997 immediately following the collapse of the OG *Boo's Pizza*.

## Creation

Dark Boo had engaged in repeated godmodding in the *Boo's Pizza* thread. This had led to repeated arguments between him and the two other active roleplayers, AwdryFan1997 and Gorozoron. Toxicity was rampant and enjoyment of the thread had taken a nosedive. Particular points of contention included Dark Boo's character ShyHo (who was seen by AwdryFan and Gorozoron as overpowered), the character's disturbingly explicit relationship with a *Final Fantasy* character, the prevalence of obscure JRPG characters in general, and alleged hypocrisy on the part of AwdryFan regarding his character Frederick Kooploz as well as AwdryFan's radical leftist political views.

After a request was made by Gorozoron, AwdryFan1997 made a motion in the Boo's Pizza Council, a private message thread serving as the roleplay's supreme governing body, to have ShyHo permanently written out. With expected support from council member Chevywolf30 (who, at that point, was inactive in *Boo's Pizza*), Dark Boo declared his retirement from *Boo's Pizza* effective immediately. In spite of his plans to withdraw from participation, Dark Boo declared he would "still be around to moderate", to which AwdryFan objected.

It was ultimately decided that Dark Boo would step down, and that a new thread would be created by AwdryFan as an effective transition of power. However, Dark Boo quickly turned on his promise. Old wounds reopened, and it seemed as though nothing had changed. Conveniently, AwdryFan got himself into a controversy elsewhere on ZeldaDungeon and declared his withdrawal from the forums. This effectively killed the new *Boo's Pizza II* thread. Following this, Dark Boo made two attempts to start a new roleplay thread, however neither reached the success of *Boo's Pizza.*

   On the day AwdryFan returned, he edited the rules to essentially prevent the problems that plagued *BP* from emerging in the continuation thread (most notably, AwdryFan blanket-banned all characters created by Squaresoft, effectively retconning the entire IFPC/IPCF conflict). While *BP2* was originally planned as a successor with no plot-based ties to the original, aside from the characters Kira and Bobby and their arc carrying over, it was later decided to be a continuation of the original plot, with the *Final Fantasy* and *Chrono Trigger* characters erased (this had the unfortunate side effect of undoing the Kira/Bobby arc, as Bobby was an original character based off the Black Mage class from *Final Fantasy*). During AwdryFan's absence, Dark Boo had mysteriously disappeared from ZeldaDungeon, leaving AwdryFan's management of *Boo's Pizza* uncontested.

## Brief Plot Summary

Everything posted in the thread before 15 May 2021 is considered non-canonical. Originally, the plot was intended to be divided into "arcs" (as had been attempted in the original thread), however as lore developed this ultimately fell through. Regardless, the plot can roughly be summarized as follows: *Wart's Conquest, The Nightmare Fleet,* and the untitled Mart arc, with *Restoration and Revanchism* and *The Millionaire's Secret* existing as overarching subplots.
