Hybridex Deal

On the surface, the **Hybridex Deal** was a deal that took place on January 3, 2013, between Governor Antares and Bananable. In reality, it was a deep-rooted plan devised by Zapstorm's leadership. Zapstorm's leader, Zap, and the second-in-command, Machitis, worked together to bring back the banned members through creating a fifth district called Hybridex, not being part of the original four districts.

## Getting Bananable on board

Unlike Austiny, Zap also invited the two banned Galaxia members. However, this was blocked by Governor Antares, who declared that both members were banned from "all four districts." This phrase served as crucial as Zap had conceived of an idea. He would establish another district, a "fifth one" to let banned members join. He also saw this as a good way to challenge the anti-expansion policy of Antares, which made it extremely difficult to invite new members.

Machitis to reached out to Alaric, Orion1, and Bananable. Alaric and Orion1 were permanently banned while Bananable was yet to join any district after being banned by Castler. Bananable had intended to join Zapstorm, as it was led by Zap. Bananable had noticed the biased bans, noticing how Galaxia and Neptunity's members had been permanently banned for voting differently, yet Zapstorm members faced no repercussions for it. He also explained how he noticed that Castler's bans were not accepted by Antares while Netterix's bans were. He noticed Netterix had been working with Antares. He also saw that Austiny, who succeeded Antares as Core Wizardry's leader, only invited the banned members from Neptunity while Zap tried to invite all. However, Zap and Machitis asked him not to join Galaxia for the time being and then announce his intention to create a new district. They told Bananable they planned to create a fifth district called "Hybrid" and asked whether he wanted to participate. Bananable was in.

Zap suggested that Bananable act as the leader of the new "Hybrid" district as he was the only non-permanently banned member of the three. He also saw it convenient as he could play as being sided with Antares considering that he had voted for him with the reasoning having been he would've been "cooler." Bananable suggested the district be named "Hybridex" rather than Hybrid. His suggestion was accepted.

Zap and Machitis had gathered together several willing new members to become a part of the new Hybrid district they planned to create. They made sure that these members were people willing to cooperate with the whole plan.

## Banable joins Core Wizardry

Bananable first joined Core Wizardry and immediately formed a good relationship with their leader, Austiny. The two of them played games very often together. Bananable also noticed a divide between Austiny and Castor, who had both wanted to be Core Wizardry's leader. However, Austiny had been selected over Castor as the successor of Antares, which made half of the district angry. Bananable used this to his advantage and attacked Castor. This won the strong support from half of the district.

Bananable also suggested a 2013 New Year's Day event in Core Wizardry, which Austiny saw as a brilliant idea. Austiny, who had grown favorable of Bananable, was asked by him on whether he would support a new district ran by him, to which Austiny responded that he had his full backing. On January 3, 2013, Bananable began the plan and asked privately Antares whether he could form a new district. Antares initially declined his offer, asking, "what's the point of having a district with one member?" Bananable responded by saying that his idea of a new district was merging a small community that wanted to become a part of Ninzardia and that he would become its new leader as he was loyal to the governor and would comply with his demands. Bananable also asked Austiny to vouch for him, which he did. After discussion, Antares agreed to allow him to create a new district.

## Hybridex created

The new district of Hybridex was created on January 3, 2013. To prevent Antares from immediately taking action against the new district, they allowed Hybridex to integrate into the community environment and let it become a fundamental structure of Ninzardia. That way, Antares would hesitate in taking immediate action against Hybridex, such as taking back his word and deleting it.

To keep good terms, Bananable held a kind-of "birthday celebration" for Antares on January 5 (Antares's birthday), 2013, in Hybridex and suggested the other districts do the same. For the act, Zap opposed the Ninzardia birthday celebration. Austiny of Core Wizardry and Netterix of Galaxia both followed Bananable's idea and called him "a good leader." Of course, Castler found the whole birthday celebration distasteful. Antares had also believed the Hybridex district to be a crucial ally to him and the Martial Party.
