Mole People

The Mole People's base of operations

## Summary

The Mole People are an underground Anarchist Organization, hell-bent on the destruction of duped items. They returned underground in early 2017. In late March of 2021, the group reemerged from the depths, ready to wreak havoc on the overworld once more.

The group was founded by Sthepker (now Papa\_Sucrose) and Nat4455.

## History of The Mole People\*

#### Chapter One: *Humble Beginnings*

In late 2016, a small group of friends entered The Viper's Lair. They found themselves amongst a group of seasoned veterans, who exploited duplication glitches and hoarded vast amounts of wealth.

At the time, this group of friends found themselves caught in the middle of an all-out war between the two heavy hitters of this land; The Democratic People's Republic of Minecraft (DPRM) and Rapture. Unsure of which side to take, and unable to trust anyone but themselves, this group of friends decided they must take their operations underground. They would operate in secrecy, attacking anyone they came across. Primarily, they fought to ensure that the massive quantities of wealth, which had been hoarded for so long, were more fairly distributed amongst the player base.

The Mole People were born.

#### Chapter Two: *Into the Depths*

As The Mole People's Operations began to bear fruit, it became abundantly clear that their current living situation was no longer suitable for such a complex group of individuals. After much searching, a suitable location for a permanent base was discovered. The Mole People began working diligently to clear out vast areas underground, making themselves a habitat which suited their new life underground. What began as a small area consisting of a storage room, a crafting room, and a farm, quickly became a massive, sprawling underground metropolis.

The Mole People guarded this area fiercely, refusing to give out its coordinates to anyone. Though many attempts had been made to locate the infamous Mole Hole, none would bear fruit for quite some time.

#### Chapter Three:

##### The Hunt Begins

As news of the Mole's operations began to spread throughout the server, the DPRM and Rapture decided it was necessary to declare a truce, in order to deal with the Mole incursion. Unbeknownst to either faction, however, The Mole People had taken to an amicable relationship with our Administrative Overlords, enabling them to expand their base vastly, locate others more easily, and transport millions of blocks in the blink of an eye. Despite being vastly outnumbered and underequipped, The Mole People continued their elusive rampage, destroying countless bases, leaving nothing but a sign that would become their telltale calling card:

The Mole People send their regards.

In February of 2017, a discovery was made that would serve to identify one of the Moles. A great sigh of relief was breathed on the server. Before the discovery, nobody was able to trust anyone, leading to major fractures amongst the leading factions, DPRM and Rapture.

Though not every Mole has been uncovered, the unmasking of one of their own caused The Mole People to be forced into hiding, hitting back only when it was safe and leaving as much destruction as possible in their wake.

By mid February of 2017, the server had been fractured and plunged into an all-out war. This era of Viper's Lair came to be known as The Mole Wars.

The Mole People were formerly an enemy of the DPRM, until the Mole People's destruction in late 2016 / early 2017. However, since their return, they have formed an alliance with the DPRM.
