Miscellaneous Minor Arcs

This page is for listing arcs that were not important enough to warrant individual articles, such as arcs that only lasted for one day, or other short periods of time.

## Thanos Snap Arc

From a period of time starting on the sixth of September 2018 to the seventh of September 2018, The Duckpond was snapped by Thanos. This meant that half of each username and each message was deleted. The conversations made during this event are completely incomprehensible.

## Daily Donut Boy

On March 2nd 2019, a one hour loop of the Donut Boy theme song[1] was first played in the voice chat. Afterwards, it was played everyday for 2 months straight. Then, it was played sporadically throughout the rest of 2019. By 2020, it had stopped being played completely.

## Wahoo

   On January 7th 2020, Bepno sent the joke message "Wooloo more like Wahoo." This prompted Lm1xb to post a picture of a Wahoo fish and subsequently added the image as an emoji in the Duckpond. The usage of the Wahoo emoji exploded in popularity quickly, with long chains of members only sending the Wahoo emoji. On January 13th an entire channel in the Duckpond was created just for the use of the Wahoo emoji. Constant use of the emoji continued up until February 5th, when the Nitro Boost on the Duckpond ran out and the emoji was removed. On June 2nd the Duckpond received another Nitro Boost and the usage of the Wahoo emoji flared up once again until the boost ran out on July 29th. The immediate and obsessive use of the emoji could be a result of Mass Psychogenic Illness. The use of the channel has descended into completely incomprehensible letters that are almost entirely unrelated to Wahoo. On October 30th, Lm1xb sent a lengthy message detailing his desire for a rebrand of the Wahoo channel. Shortly after, the channel was changed to honor Boops Boops. Lm1xb would also make a Tenor gif and a tribute YouTube video to commemorate this change.

Once Gene was elected president in January, 2021 he archived the channel attempting to bring an end to the Wahoo phenomenon however, when Bepno was elected he cleaned out the servers emojis which allowed for the use of the wahoo emote once again which brought the channel back to life.

## Crusader Election

On January 10th, 2020, while attending Ohayocon Lm1xb was supposedly murdered by an individual named Columbus. Columbus then took over Lm1xb's account for the majority of the time thet were attending the convention. Zigzem proposed an election be held for the open Crusader spot. A Google Forms was created, and anyone was allowed to fill out the application. Many members, including already existing Crusaders, submitted applications. However, it was quickly revealed that Lm1xb was not dead. Instead of halting the application process, a jury consisting of Zigzem, Lm1xb, and Gene reviewed the submitted applications, although they never reached a verdict as Lm1xb had returned.

## Treason of May 26th

During the early hours of May 26th, 2020, Gif and Bepno perpetrated treasonous actions by creating a second Duckpond due to their growing distrust in The Stardew Crusaders. Their distrust was commenced when Bepno brought up the possibility of a private staff chat that the Crusaders could have had. His suspicion was confirmed by Gray due to the ability to read the audit logs and see the changes made in the private chat. Gif created the server in an attempt to steal power away from the Crusaders, whom he deemed to be tyrants. However, the Crusaders responded mostly with indifference and by 10:00 AM Gif claimed the whole thing had been a gag and deleted The Duckpond 2. No punishments were dealt to Bepno or Gif, and, later that year, only Goombario even remembered that the Duckpond 2 existed.

## Pungulo-Discussion

Pungulo-Discussion was a channel created by Goombario as a joke referencing an increasingly frequently posted gif. Many of the members found the complete randomness of the gif to be comical, and would begin to talk about "pungulo" or "bingus drangus" enough for the channel to be made. The channel was made late at night when a majority of the members were asleep. Lm1xb, Bepno, and Goombario were the first members to use the chat. Early on, Lm1xb mentioned "bingus drangus" in the Pungulo-Discussion channel, which prompted Goombario to change Lm1xb's nickname to "Trungo" and for Bepno to change his nickname to "Bimpo." The next morning, Zigzem expressed confusion towards the existence of the channel but did not remove it, and it was continued to be used similar to the Wahoo channel. That evening, Feelix began to spam the chat with another gif of a Sphynx Cat. This spam prompted Goombario to delete the channel. Since the channel's deletion, discussion of Pungulo has continued. However, the discussions have shifted from Pungulo being an abstract concept with no definition to discussing Pungulo as if it is a deity.

In August of 2022, the general chat of the server was renamed to Pungulo-Discussion unexpectedly, however, as much time had passed certain newly active members had not heard of Pungulo and expressed confusion towards the name. Lmone was the only member who actively attempted to discuss Pungulo

## Fumopond and Wormpond

During Bepno's presidency he would briefly change the Duckpond to a fumo themed server. Changing all the channels to the word "Fumo" and the server icon to an image of the Cirno Fumo. However, this change would not last for long as the server would change once again to the Wormpond after Bepno posted a video captioned "The worm pond" the channels would be themed towards worms instead of fumo's. This changes most likely came as Bepno's last overusage of power near the end of his presidency. Because the Duckpond had already been changed to The Raccpond many of the members simply went along with the joke accepting the change.

## Ultimate Duckpond Civ Game

During the summer of 2022 members of the Duckpond attempted to organize a large scale game of Civilization 6. However, as to be expected, scheduling the game was much more difficult that foreseen. Even after a google forms was made in an attempt to create an organized schedule for when the game would be played, members frequently missed the scheduled time to play.

## Picrew Craze

On April 21st, 2023 Allie posted a link to a picrew to which various members including Lm1xb, Izzzy, and Arnold Schwarzenegger all made their own. Following this Allie, Lm1xb, Izzzy, Arnold and Goomb (who only made Lobotomy Corporation picrews) have continuously made picrews, flooding #picture-end with countless picrew images.
