Rome (griefed)

The Monkey Frog Enthusiasts (also known as MFE) is a faction founded on the 24 October 2020. They are somewhat known for spamming MFE propaganda on the discord, and are mainly peaceful builders. You may join the faction's public discord here: https://discord.gg/mzmNMQTKDR

## Short version of the story

MFE was first started by jrocky, Kokolaj, Divee, Abelman and GlaceonGuy, who were all up until that time real life friends. They've made a couple of bases, aped and just goofed around discord. In February of 2021, Vibe\_Rater420 , a real life friend from Kokolaj that moved to his school also moved to MFE. This period in time is considered the Golden Age of MFE. Everything was going well until GlaceonGuy decided to leak the base and grief it with his new relatively unknown faction. The reasoning behind the backstab is still disputed but evidence points to the fact that Kokolaj spilled milk over GlaceonGuy's shirt and said "now do a backflip, whiteboy" causing an uproar of laughter at GlaceonGuy's expense. The base that got griefed was called Rome, almost a year after that grief MFE stood stronger than ever, boasting an impressive array of members. Notably an admin, a senior moderator, a moderator and an ex staff member. Long Live MFE!

## The Tarqshark Incident

The first base was created on 24/10/2020 by jrocky16 when he had come back to the server after a break for a few months. His friend OscarSwagDuck and his old basemate Divee came and joined him. Shortly after this, their friend S0LR joined as well.

In November, the base was griefed by a player named Tarqshark over a long-lasting feud with the MFE over Kokolaj stealing 6 hoppers from him in 2019, at a Grey base called Waypoint Alpha. It is thought that because of Kokolaj's act of theft, Tarqshark was unable build a second automatic fishing farm for his alternate account, resulting in severe damages to the economy of The Grey.

The grief launched the group into disarray for a short period of time. They would begin a new base on the 14th December 2020 where Kokolaj would join them along with Timzzie, Kill\_Aura and Markonite.

## The Markonite Fiasco

Sometime in December 2020, the MFE went to the End in search of elytras. Unfortunately, during this trip, Kokolaj forgot to re-equip his elytra after repairing it in an anvil, resulting in him jumping off the edge of an island into the void, losing all of his items.

The enraged Kokolaj decided to kill Markonite to get some items back. Markonite leaked the base.

Shortly after this, Markonite was banned by ercercerc after he was found to be using a module on a hacked client named 'DiveeHack' that sent automatically sent deeply offensive messages to players that came within a certain radius of him.

Luckily, anticipating the leak, The MFE evacuated to form a base called Rome.

## Inactivity (Jan 2021 - Apr 2021)

From around January to April of 2021, MFE was largely inactive, with Kill\_Aura, jrocky16, Timzzie and kokolaj basing at DarkLordZero's base with a few of his friends, including Thresher593. However, after this base was found, DarkLordZero and Thresher593 joined Rome and became members of MFE. Shortly after, Semommes joined, as did Vibe\_Rater420 and GlaceonGuy.

## Rome (Apr 2021 - Jun 2021)

The MFE continued to work on Rome until June, when GlaceonGuy betrayed MFE, deciding to grief the base with his friend Tarqshark. This was likely a cause of the hopper incident.

It became clear that GlaceonGuy had griefed the base for clout, money and fame when he uploaded a video to YouTube documenting the grief with a piece of classical music playing in the background.

Shortly after, MFE banned Foxtrot, one of GlaceonGuy's friends, as revenge.

## MFEmpire (Jun 2021 - Sep 2022)

MFE continued to be the dominant faction in Purity Vanilla after defeating a relatively unknown faction (the Chadlets), going on to take the Dung Beetles, AFE and the Faction Hub under its wing. The lack of challenge to MFE led to the game becoming very boring and repetitive for most of the members, resulting in MFE splintering off into other ventures, such as the MFE move to the crypto scene and the launch of the MFEsports Stronghold Crusader II team. It was within this time period that many notable new members joined such as JRG Alekei, rigcz and dabiadaiu.

## The Downfall of MFE (Sep 2022 - Present)

It is widely believed that the beginning of the end of MFE is marked by ercercerc quitting the faction, largely owing to Kokolaj's kleptomania. One day, he decided to steal a large amount of items from the DB stash for "building". It is reported that he "borrowed": 11 shulkers of end crystals, 6 shulkers of eyes of ender, 27 shulkers of obsidian, 3 shulkers of glass panes, 9 shulkers of iron blocks, 31 netherite blocks, 5 shulkers of blue ice, 2 shulkers of emerald blocks and 7 elytras. Kokolaj was lambasted by the members of DB, eventually leading to ercercerc leaving the server after an ensuing skirmish taking place after he realized kokolaj "did not return even a quater of waht [sic]" he stole.

## Projects

The MFE has helped with projects like the Spawn Infrastructure Project, where they helped with the obsidian highways towards the world border and killing withers, but most of their time was spent monkeying about.
