The Covenant

The Covenant (abbreviated to TC), was founded November 15, 2020, and was an alliance between Babylon, The Samurai, The 3rd Church, The New Engineers and Who Delet. In the early days of its founding it was powerful, but the members kept it a secret from the rest of specterium. Later after Who Delet joined the group decided to make its existence public. Entering the Covenant isn't just a non-aggression pact but a collaboration between these 5 groups to accomplish private group projects and contribute more to the community together. This Alliance currently had over 40 players and is currently the biggest group alliance in the server's history.

## History

### Under the House of Leaders

The group was founded in early November 2020 by \_Dux. It was a collaboration between The Templar's, Babylon and The Resistance. Later the Church was invited to join. At first this group was mostly made as a counter to Team V, although later most members didn't want it to be solely an anti-team V group, so they drifted away from that.

In late November Who delet got invited (members who were also in Team V were blocked from joining), and the Covenant was made public.

In early December the group does their first project, expanding The Netherhub to be 100x100 blocks.

In mid-December, 0Xed leaves the group after some drama with Storm and also because he was going solo and had left Who delet.

On 22/12/2020, there is some drama after the Book & Quirl dupe. This dupe caused some players, like Storm and Mopplkotze, playerdata to get corrupted. Some players got mad and blamed MrEDok, Razok even said they should kill Spec. This caused some conflict, mostly between Razok and TriggeredCat, who defended Edok and claimed Razok was incompetent to lead. After this Razok banned Trig, SoloMaker, DiamondDynamic and Michi games from the discord. Although \_Dux quickly unbans them and removes Razok's banning perms.

On 30/12/2020 \_Dux creates the Covenant's Constitution that would outline how it would be run. He names himself Lord Commander, but doesn't make that the highest role this role is put in place as an overseer to make sure the President doesn't overstep their powers. The highest role will be "president" and he will be voted every 3 months. The president can propose a rule/law, start a war or declare peace and come up with ideas for the group, although for this stuff there will still be a vote among the Group leaders. He can also start projects and is in charge of the day to day running of the group.

On the same day the elections start, they last a few days and are eventually won by Michi games(look at "The Election" for more information).

### Under President Michi

After this day they do some small projects at spawn, like making a spawnbase(Bishmut) and spawning a ton of withers. They also place a ton of echests at Spawn, which makes fast-travelling a lot easier.

On 12/01/2020, razok disbands the Resistance and leaves the Covenant, although they other ex-Resistance members still stay in the group.

On 26/01/2021, The New Engineers join The Covenant.

In late January, Dux's new group, the Samurai, would join.

In early February, Dux handed over the Templar's main command to HolyTony who renamed it to the Spawn Faction & Reformed its practices. During this time Cume Squad also joins(although most members were already in The Covenant due to them being in the Engineers).

In March Alfoe leaves the group after a conflict with Dux. Later Trig also leaves because he was inactive and didn't like Dux being in charge, before he leaves he kicks most members from the discord, but the majority of them quickly rejoins. At this point the Covenant was also becoming mostly inactive, although the discord was still active. Later Trig and Alfoe both rejoin.

### Under president Silent

On 24/06/2021, Dux announces that the second election has begun. It ends on the 5th of July with SilentInterloper winning and 8zi\_ becomming vice president. Dux also decides that a new election will be held every 3 months instead of every 6.

After winning, Silent revamps the Cov discord server, which not everybody liked (mainly just Cody). Dux also removes some perms from the group leaders, since the only active group at the time was the New Engineers, with most other players being solo or not having an official group. Silent also adds his own group, The Brotherhood, to the Covenant.

He also started a vote to chose a banner for the Covenant(there already was one but it wasn't very good and nobody used it).

On 03/08/2021, Silent adds a new group to the Covenant: Anarchist Anonymous, and with it its leader GobblinGamerYT. Many people are mad since Silent didn't ask them and also because they didn't really know or liked Gobblin. Eventually Silent kicks Gobblin and holds a poll to see if they should add the group. The poll almost immediately ends in an unanymous "no".

After this multiple people start to think if Silent is a good leader or if he should be replaced. People also start thinking Dux has to much power eventhough he only has it because he made the discord, and the term "duxtator" starts to be used.

On 27/09/21 \_Dux disbands the covenant after an internal drama. Brett Alan makes a new Covenant discord and invites all the original members. Most of the members are allowed back into the discord but Dux invited to the New Covenant/2nd Covenant but refused.

### The End of the Covenant

While it hadn't been very active for a while in september 2021, the Covenant still existed. A lot of players like Silent and Brett\_alan wanted to change things and make the group more active, while others just wanted to disband it. On 14/09/2021, Silent decides to resign as president to give someone else a chance to fix the group. A third election is held which is won by brett\_alan, he choose Stat as his vice-president.

After the third election a lot of things changed about how the covenant worked, meaning more voting and annoying Trig enough to leave. In short, dux removed the House of Leaders and added an "elected chamber". In this was everyone who got votes during an election. Although brett and some others didn't like this, so it was removed a few days later and the house of leaders was readded.

Brett\_Alan wanted to change a lot of things about the Covenant which Dux didn't agree with, such as reducing Group Leader's and Dux's power. Eventually, on 26/09/2021, Dux stripped Brett of his roles because, according to him, brett wanted to destroy the covenant. He made Stat the new president. The first thing Stat did as president was resigning and making JEnonymous president. JE made brett vice-president, which Dux didn't like.

Brett still saw himself as the real president, so he made a new Covenant discord which he claimed to be the real Covenant, and then spammed the link in the Covenant discord. Some other people started to help spamming this link, including JE. Dux deleted all the messages and kicked brett from the group.

The next day Dux anounces that the Covenant is death and he archives the discord. Brett still considered the Covenant to be alive and said his discord was the real discord now (later people called it The Second Covenant). However, not many people joined this discord because they were all done with the Covenant. At the end, this "new" Covenant only lasted for around a month before dying too.

## Elections

### The First Election

When the election started, 5 candidates participated: Michi\_games, SoloMaker, TriggeredCat, Miljandro and Seeeeho(m1ndspace). Michi immediately starts to send memes as propaganda.

The next day most candidates finished their manifesto and post it. After this the voting starts. After a day Michi is on top with 8 votes, while the others only have 1-2 votes. Although he gets suprassed by SoloMaker the next day, who jumps up to 9 votes, mainly thanks to Razok telling people to vote for Solo. Solo also makes alternate versions of Michi's memes. Meanwhile, seeho has 3 votes, while Mil and Trig only have 1 each.

At this point, the voters from the other candidates realized they wouldn't win anymore, so they started changing their vote. Eventually Michi and Solo end up at a tie at 12/12. This stays like this for a while, until 2 Solo-voters change their vote shortly before the end of the elections. Resulting in a 14-10 victory for Michi. After this Michi chooses Miljandro as his vice-president, although he later changes it to SoloMaker.

## Relations

They were neutral/chill with most players, they only enemies of The Holy Inquisition and they are technically somewhat allied to the inactive Avalon.

In the past they were enemies of Team V and Razok's Mafia, although they made "peace". Razok still somewhat disliked the Covenant however(and vice versa).

## Trivia

* With 43+ members this is the biggest "group" in Spec history(although it's not really a group, more so an alliance, and not all members have been very active)
* While this group doesn't have a base, they did have a few small outpost like Bishmut and a few others, there once was a plan to make New England in to a groups base, but this never came to be.
