Moyai Cult

The **Moyai Cult** is a cult on 852 Resurgence. It is the second oldest cult on the server.

## History

It is unknown when exactly the Moyai Cult was founded, however it is believed to have founded at around mid to late 2021. They would spread their message to several new members, often recruiting brand new members.

For a long time, the Moyai Cult was the only cult with "positive relations" with Card0, even creating their own partnered server. However after an incident involving Toto523 who was banned, relations would sour and Simpus Olympus would leave the server.

## How to join?

Add two moyai emojis to either side of your name

For example, if your name was melody: 🗿melody🗿

## Origins

Although the cult’s exact date of founding has since been lost to time, recounts of the events that took place that led to its eventual creation remained.

On the fateful day of its creation, there was a fairly large gathering of people in a voice chat, participants there had just been chatting or texting normally. Then pilk, a somewhat recent member of the sever decided as a joke to change their server nickname to the max amount of letters that could be fit.(32 characters, i.e 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿) Although the name had remained for a short period, the owner Card0 reset the name and later explained that it was difficult to ping, multiple attempts to restore the nickname proved to be fruitless. Until a solution was thought of, putting a 🗿moyai emoji at the beginning and end of the name(🗿name🗿), this allowed the member to be pinged easily and retained moyai emoji(s) and this format was approved by Card0 and later adopted as the method to join and identify oneself with their respective cult(s).

Although the above events were the date of the official creation of the cult, the entity existed long before that, as many members especially Simpus Olympus prominently used the emoji and had changed his profile picture to one.

## Prayer

Almighty Moyai, he who stands in solitude

Bless us with your divine wisdom

Bless us with jollity and fortune

And bless us with holy memetics

vine boom

Moyai, we thank thee for your presence

And may moyai transcend throughout time

A Penny

**A Penny** is the third song from The Great Moon Hoax sung by Curt Mega as Benjamin Park, James Tolbert as Samuel Stratford and Mariah Rose Faith Casillas as Rose Stratford. It is the third track on the soundtrack album and was written by Matt Dahan.

## Lyrics

**Benjamin:**

Stratfords

**Rose, Samuel:**

Benjamin

**Samuel, spoken:**

Shouldn't you be at the Sun? It’s almost time to run the press

**Benjamin, spoken:**

That can wait

**(sung)**

The way that Thomas treated you

Was wicked and unfair

**Samuel, spoken:**

I’ll say

**Benjamin:**

He'll hire you back in time

**Rose:**

If the building is still there

**Benjamin:**

I gathered up the pieces of your notebook

Thomas scattered on the floor

I read the first few lines

Can you tell me if there’s more?

**Samuel:**

This tale took shape when we were very young

Early on when we moved to the States

Stories helped us find our place

When New York seemed like outer space

We could build a world to share with friends

**Rose:**

The time has come to share it with the Sun

Now revised to fit our modern tastes

**Samuel:**

It’s not an earthly exposé

**Benjamin, spoken:**

What's that supposed to mean?

**Rose, spoken:**

You'll think it’s strange

**Benjamin, spoken:**

I already do

**Samuel:**

The New York Sun

Sees things a certain way

**Rose, Samuel:**

And this requires a slightly bigger lens

**Benjamin, spoken:**

…How big, exactly?

United Infrastructure Guild

The **United Infrastructure Guild** , also know as the U.I.G or the Guild, is a faction on Hongkongggag Minecraft Server (2nd Iteration) (know here on out as 852rSMP) by the New Estonian Purrcat2010 on April 12th, 2022. Its goal is to bring good to said server by building infrastructure. It was founded as a somewhat apolitical and neutral organization, but with members having right to defense of themselves or the public infrastructure they build and/or maintain. It generally doesn't prohibit members from being a part of any other faction on the server. Counting the founder of the Guild, there are currently five members, including Card0.

Disclaimer: While the Guild makes every effort to ensure a safe travel experience. The U.I.G has no liability for loss of items and health and/or player death indirectly or directly resulting from using our infrastructure.

## Notable Projects

-Building and maintaining Nether Highway System.

-Its own HQ

## Advocacy

Though the United Infrastructure Guild is largely apolitical as previously said, it does have a few stances on issues pertaining to the organization. Most notably, it feels that the Nether and especially the infrastructure therein should be neutral and cease fire zones. In fact, it even feels that infrastructure that serves the entire server in all parts of the server should be neutral and cease fire zones.

### Copper as Money

In addition to the advocacy related to infrastructure, it also moves for copper ingots/blocks as currency on 852rSMP since copper ingots' only useful items derived from them is the lighting rod and the spyglass, but a large amount can easily be gather and can also be made into blocks and vice versa. Since it takes nine copper ingots to make a block and one gets nine copper ingots from placing one copper block, Purrcat has also advocated for copper blocks to be worth nine. The currency has so far been adopted by three individuals counting Purrcat and one organization, the United infrastructure Guild itself, which it did on April 23rd, 2022.

As of the start of July, while it officially still holds it's beliefs about copper, it's advocacy efforts have stagnated.

## Trivia

-It is based on the Spacing Guild from the *Dune* *Chronicles* series by American author Frank Herbert and off of the infrastructure organizations on the notorious Minecraft server 2b2t.
Tuing chanung

March Reforms

The **March Reforms** were a series of reforms that occurred on March 22, 2021, as a result of a fight in the Core Community Group Chat between Card0 and Aditya.

## Origins

On March 22, 2021, Vista released a statement outlining some of the issues in the community, following a few weeks after his resignation. Card0 bought up these issues in Core Community asking for feedback.

Aditya and Tolmo raised a number of concerns with how Card0 ran the community. However, an argument broke out between Aditya and Card0, in spite of attempts at diffusing the situation by other members, such as Boba and Salami.

As a consensus was unable to be reached, a meeting was scheduled later in the dat to discuss how the community should move forward. In total, twelve people attended.

## Major Reforms

The changes led by the reforms are as follows:

1. Creation of Mediators to counter the echo chamber problem present in the community, with larger emphasis put within the Staff Team. Boba and Wsdu were nominated as the first Mediators.
2. An overhaul of the rules regarding staff action, reducing ambiguity and making them concrete.
3. Creation of the Founder role, acting as a spiritual successor to the "Head Admin" role

## Effects

The reforms improved some of the community rules by clearing up ambiguity as to how it is to be operated.

Following the reforms, the core of the community transitioned to the Discord Server: 852 Resurgence, as the Whatsapp group began to decline.

## Lyrics

**Narrator:**

Anna, Rose, and Margaret

Completely covered in dirt

After one of those days

Where everything hurt

Raise a glass

To toast the past

**Anna, spoken:**

To Maria Cunitz

**Rose, spoken:**

Ugh, I love her

**Margaret, spoken:**

To Maria

**Anna, spoken:**

It’s such a relief to drink with people who actually know who she is

**Rose, spoken:**

Who doesn’t know her? She’s one of the most influential astronomers of the past three centuries

**Anna, spoken:**

You’d be surprised

**Margaret, spoken:**

Her book Urania Propitia made me feel like astronomy was for everybody

**Anna, spoken:**

Me too.

**(sung)**
Urania, the musе of astronomy

Propitia, she has favored you

Urania Propitia, Maria

Sciencе not just for the favored few

**Rose, sung:**

Maria Cunitz

Born sixteen-hundred-ten

There was no scientific field she couldn’t master

**Margaret:**

Maria Cunitz

She studied all the greats

Saw what they did, and said “I can do it faster”

**Anna:**

There were astronomical tables

To track planets in the sky

**Margaret:**

But Maria found an equation

That made all things simplified

**Rose:**

A mathematical wonder

Undervalued at the time

**Anna, Margaret, Rose:**

So she published a book

With her own dime

Urania, the muse of astronomy

Propitia, she has favored you

Urania Propitia, Maria

Science not just for the favored few

**Margaret:**

Maria Cunitz

Celestial navigator

Saw a problem and said “I’ll fix it myself”

**Anna:**

But her achievements

Are hardly celebrated

They’re left collecting dust upon the shelf

**Rose:**

They say that history

Will look back on her kindly

To future generations, she will bow

**Anna, Margaret, Rose:**

But what of here

What of now

**Margaret:**

To the women of the galaxy

Who never got the fame

**Rose:**

You’ve given me the courage not to write

Under my brothers name

**Anna:**

You’ve given me the blueprint

And you’ve given me the tools

**Anna, Margaret, Rose:**

History is rarely made

By those who write the rules

Oh Urania, the muse of astronomy

Propitia, she has favored you

Urania Propitia, Maria

Your legacy lives on in all we do

Urania, the muse of astronomy

Propitia, she has favored you

Urania Propitia, Maria

Science not just for the favored few

Tonight I drink to you

To you

Lilshotanekoboi Controversy

The **Lilshotanekoboi Controversy** was a series of disputes regarding former 852 Resurgence member lilshotanekoboi for sharing content regarding the pseudo-realistic depiction of minors in suggestive situations.

## Background

Lilshotanekonboi is a V-Tuber, posting roleplay content with his persona on his YouTube Channel. Neko's persona is a *shota-like* depiction of himself, and shared suggestive content regarding his persona, including ASMR of his character interacting with an older sibling, prompting Discord staff to become wary of his behaviour. He shared his background story to flutters.

Definition of Shota:

> A child-like male character, typically in the style of Japanese manga or anime.
>
>

## Incident

In early March, Neko shared a work-in-progress parody of the "Five Black One White" meme with his character surrounded by 5 women

Due to the explicit nature and context of the meme, it was met with conflicted responses from the community. Later on, Neko posted a finalized version of the parody, spurring staff to hold a trial against him.

## Trial

Neko was given a trial to attempt and defend his actions on March 19, 2022.

The trial occurred in a deleted thread containing arguments that concerned the morality and ethics of creating *shota* content. Throughtout the trial, Neko argued that:

* His character is physically 18 as indicated by a birthday cake with the number "18".
* His character does not violate the age of consent due to their physical appearance being incongruent with their age.
* There was "something" beneath the surface that was unbeknownst to the public and jury.

It is important to note, however, that the cake in the parody was added after Neko made the argument and was not present in the original version of the meme.

Below is a list of jury members who sat the trial:

 ImMcNutty | Absent

## Ban of lilshotanekoboi

lilshotakonboi was banned indefinitely after a decision from Andi, flutters and Card0. This was done after lilshotakonboi stated the opinion about an underage having a mature body.

Staff also warned other members not to interact with Neko outside of the server.

One day, during heated discussions on sushi, he decided that it was time to spread glorious mother sushi to Hongkonggag. Many rallied after the sushi's cause, such as flutters, one of the most active admins.

It is a common misconception that the cult was started to spite Card0. It was in fact explicitly stated by the founder, Ash.

"It is not, but I'd agree on that many cults are indeed started to spite card0 and that's a good thing because we have freedom of speech."

## Spread

> I hate sushi. -cardo
>
>

Card0 expressed his hatred towards sushi on the #debates channel on the discord server, just minutes before the birth of sushism.

It was no surprise that everyone gave Card0 the middle finger and joined the common cause of sushi.

There used to be an exclusive #japanese-cuisine channel but it was deleted by Card0 with no prior warning.

The deletion was done with a great degree of secrecy such that nobody knew until it was listed publicly on the wiki.

After a scare that some social media outlets such as Instagram and YouTube would be pulling out of Hong Kong, Card0 believed it was best to have an admin in the US. Given how long lemontea was in the community, he was promoted on July 8th 2021.

On December 27, 2021, the Tinks Cult was officially recognised.

Thank you, Benjamin

Rose was left alone

The Sun was hollow

Saving its rays for later days

No one at a desk

Nothing to report

The calm before the storm

Comes in many forms

Where is Chester Thomas?

I wish to see him immediately

**Rose, spoken:**

Uh, sir, we're closed

**John:**

Where is Chester Thomas?

**Rose:**

He isn't in, but if this regards

A certain series of Discoveries

I can tell you what he’s gonna say

Same as everyone else: wait another day

Herschel’s latest journal entry

Will be published tomorrow for all the world to see

**John:**

Impossible, no such journal exists

**Rose, spoken:**

And how do you know that?

**John:**

Because I never had such a journal

**Rose:**

Twelve million bricks

Is what it took to build this satellite

Twelve million bricks

Are in the air

**Samuel:**

Twelve million bricks

And that’s all

**Rose:**

No food

**Samuel:**

No water

**Rose:**

Not even a chair

**Herschel:**

While it is amazing we survived

This wasn’t meant to fly with us inside

**Rose:**

There’s no craft to take us back to the surface

**Anna:**

Earth has no rescue satellite waiting to be shot

**Samuel:**

While I enjoy the view, I don’t know what to do

**Anna:**

Nor do I - I’m afraid the Sagitta is all we’ve got

**Herschel:**

If this is truly the end, then everything was worth it

Even if this satellite is to be our grave

**Samuel:**

I would have packed some bread

**Rose:**

I would have packed a bed

**Herschel:**

Anna, think of all the lives that we will save

**Anna:**

Twelve million bricks

On this one-way trip

Twelve million bricks

Are in the sky

Twelve million bricks

And once again I’m on a ship

Only this time it’s not a stormy sea

Without my gear

It’s on an ocean of starlight

It was meant to be, father

I knew that I would find you here

**Samuel, spoken:**

You were on your father’s ship when he got lost

**Rose, spoken:**

That’s how you knew how you knew what happened

**Herschel, spoken:**

Nova, you never told me

**Anna, sung:**

I was there

Adrift out in the blue

The sole survivor

Alone for weeks

I was nine

Clinging onto life

I had promises to keep

I tried my best, but he could not be saved

Soon my father was taken by the waves

I made a vow back then, nobody

Should ever lose their place in the world

Not like we did

Never again

Twelve million bricks

Is what it took to build this satellite

## Lore

In 1967, excecutives at Cardo Radio, owned by NTEP, saw a potential in television, which was becoming popular around the world. They applied for a television broadcasting license from the government, which was quickly approved. It made its first broadcasts on November 19, with a channel in Cantonese and a channel shared between English and French, named Jade and Pearl respectively. Only a small portion of Tsz Kong's population had their own TV set, mostly wealthy families, which meant most went to local restauraunts to watch.

In 1970, owing to audience demand, NTVB Azur, a dedicated French channel, was launched, with Pearl becoming a full English channel. NTVB also started trial color broadcasts of its news programs, later expanding to dramas and documentaries. NTVB fully switched to color in 1972.

## Trivia

* In canon, NTVB is a sister station to Cardo Radio.

## Lyrics

**Herschel:**

We’ve broken through

The barrier of the skies

Father

We’re sitting hundreds of miles

Up in the air

It takes my breath away

Are you seeing this

Eratosthenes

The curve of the earth

Heaven’s not up here in the sky

Heaven’s down there

That must be

The Caribbean Sea

And the Amazon jungle

With rivers like veins

Pouring in an endless ocean

Home to all the fish and boats

And harbors that ever existed

Looking down at the earth

I’ve never felt so small

Yet never more part of it all

Every word we’ve ever said

Every war we ever fought

Every language that we speak

Every lesson we forgot

Every pauper, every king

Everyone and everything

Suspended in a sunbeam

We have loved

The stars too fondly

Galileo

To ever be fearful of the night

That surrounds our planet

The telescope has turned the other way

That must be

The Great Wall of China

And the Roman Empire

If you try hard enough

You can almost smell

All the flowers growing in Babylon

And feel the winds

On the Cliffs of Dover

That must be

The reign of Cleopatra

And the Ten Commandments

Wait, there’s Al-Khwarizmi

He’s with Krishna, and da Vinci

And it looks like they’re carving

A new Rosetta Stone

There’s everyone I’ve ever known

(sighs) Looking down at the earth

I’ve never felt so small

Yet never more part of it all

**Babel** is the thirteenth song from The Brick Satellite sung by Mariah Rose Faith Casillas as Rose Stratford and Matt Dahan as Narrator. It is the thirteenth track on the soundtrack album and was written by Matt Dahan.

## Lyrics

**Rose:**

Imagination leads to hoping

Without hope, your dreams start to change

Until you’re a compromise

Nostalgic for a memory of who you were one time

A stained glass window

Before the clouds came in, and you’re left wondering

Where did your colors go

I would have done anything

Anything to get out of that paper stand

Who’d have thought a story

About a telescope

Would save my brother’s job

It saved the Sun, it brought us together

I should have known at the time

That each word we wrote set a brick

And wе built a Tower of Babel

You take action

You brеak new ground

You’re so certain of the plan when the building starts

It took us higher

Then we looked down

All the people we hoped to unite had slowly grown apart

The past had died

There were no mourners

In its place, a brand-new world

Where we could live our lives

But imagination

Can have dark corners

And lies are just another form of compromise

I’m not trying to make excuses

I’m not asking you to forget

I just want to say we’ve changed

And the future’s not written yet

Each word we say sets a brick

And we’re building a path toward forgiveness

**Narrator:**

Under the cover of darkness

Charles sailed away

Steering from the township he commands

The satellite watched him

Defiant on the shore

Mocking him as he turned and ran

All attempts at treachery

Had fallen through

As the sphere disappeared

He knew what he had to do

Great Astronomical Discoveries

Great Astronomical Discoveries

**Margaret:**

Lately made by Sir John Herschel

At the Cape of Good Hope

**Chorus:**

The Cape of Good Hope

**Margaret:**

Continued from last week's Sun

**Chorus:**

Last week's Sun

**Samuel:**

John spent many nights trying to mark

Animals to fill a lunar Noah's Ark

**Chorus:**

What about the pyramids?

**Samuel:**

John was vexed

**Chorus:**

What about the pyramids?

What comes next?

**Rose:**

Time stood still when finally

John found what he was longing to see

To his jubilation

**Rose, Samuel and Chorus:**

The biggest revelation

**Samuel:**

They look like us

The people of the moon

**Rose and Samuel:**

Certainly, they were like human beings

**Rose:**

They walked like us

**Rose, Samuel and Chorus:**

The people of the moon

**Rose:**

But they had wings

**Samuel:**

Clear and tucked to their backs

**Rose:**

Dignified when relaxed

**Samuel:**

But spread open, they look like bats

**Chorus:**

Bats!

**Rose:**

Four feet tall with copper hair

**Samuel:**

Faces bright, keenly aware

**Rose:**

Some had hands raised up in prayer

**Samuel:**

Others dancing without care

**Rose:**

Traveling thoroughfares

**Samuel:**

To temples

**Rose:**

Towns

**Samuel:**

Village squares

**Rose:**

That's what Herschel found up there

**Samuel:**

That's what Herschel found up there

**Rose and Samuel:**

That's what Herschel found up there

**Chorus:**

Found up there

Oh, Sir John

Herschel built a telescope

Oh, sir John

Herschel found a pyramid

Oh, sir John

Herschel saw a buffalo

Oh, sir John

That glowing ball up in the sky

Is full of life like you and I

Where do we go from here?

## Lyrics

**Narrator:**

Planet Earth, eighteen thirty-five

Samuel Stratford's standing on a roof

With the moon and Margaret and the stars

Far from where he started at the Sun

**John, spoken:**

There they are

**Rose, spoken:**

On the roof, I knew it

**John, spoken:**

Allow me to introduce myself...

**Margaret:**

John Herschel

We met at last

**John:**

I would have said hello

But earlier today

You had a certain ‘glow’

**Margaret:**

You were there

**John:**

I was there

**Margaret:**

You must have questions

**John:**

I have questions

**Margaret:**

I wish I had the answers

But I don’t know what to say

**Samuel:**

Therе's no one better to light our way

**John, spoken:**

I havе a proposition for you

**Margaret, spoken:**

Yes?

**John, spoken:**

I sail tonight for South America. I've assembled a team to conduct an experiment that you may find extremely compelling

**Rose, spoken:**

We would be honored to have you join us

**Samuel, spoken:**

“Us”? Who is “us”?

**Rose:**

I'm going too

But don’t worry, brother

So are you

No more waiting at the paper stand

If mom and dad were here, they'd understand

**John:**

I've made all the arrangements

**Samuel:**

Count me in

**Rose:**

Carry on

**Margaret:**

I don’t cry because I mourn

**Samuel:**

Let it begin

**John:**

We're moving on

**Margaret:**

I don't cry because I’m scared

**Rose:**

Join the team

**Samuel:**

We'll live between and beyond

**Margaret:**

I cry because

**Rose, Margaret, Samuel and John:**

It’s possible

We are on the verge

Of finding out what all of this means

**Margaret:**

Let’s go!

**Company:**

Don't be scared of the dark

‘Cause that is where the dreaming starts

One word at a time

Together, we will find

A world that we know exists

A world that we know exists
And it’s so much more than this

More than this

So much more, than this

## Lyrics

**Narrator:**

Planet Earth, eighteen thirty-five

Chester Thomas sits behind a desk

The owner of the New York Sun

Member of the NYC elite

**Thomas:**

We're the top, and everyone knows it

They will always know it

**(spoken)**

Samuel, my friend, come in!

**Samuel, spoken:**

Sir, have you seen Rose or Benjamin? I haven't seen them all morning

**Thomas:**

Guess who I met right before you got here

**Samuel, spoken:**

I don’t know

**Thomas:**

City Hall

They saw how I single-handedly

Picked our paper up off the floor

They were quite impressed to say the least

**Samuel:**

**(groans)** Aren't we all

**Thomas:**

Now the mayor is knocking at my door

**Chorus:**

The leadership you've shown

To draw blood from a stone

A lesser man would have gotten nervous

**Thomas, spoken:**

But not me!

**Chorus:**

Intelligent and wise

As good as advertised

Have you given thought to public service?

**Thomas, spoken:**

Well, now that you mention it...

**Chorus:**

Senator Chester Thomas

Has a distinguished ring

**Thomas:**

But why should I stop there

When I've got the moon on a string?

**Chorus:**

President Chester Thomas

From washed up to Washington

Andrew Jackson would not stand

A chance if you ever run

**Samuel, spoken:**

**(laughs)**

**Thomas, spoken:**

What's so funny?

**Samuel:**

It seems the Stratfords

Aren't the only ones

Spinning fictions for the New York Sun

Future voters, I submit

Chester Thomas won't commit

Chester Thomas, hypocrite

**Thomas:**

Then you would be a candidate

For my ticket’s running mate

We're the same

**Samuel:**

Get this straight

We're nothing alike

**Thomas:**

Are you sure?

What is this I see?

Am I sensing guilt?

If the truth comes out

Say goodbye to what we've built

We'd be disgraced

The Sun would fold

You'll be at that paper stand

'Til you and Rose grow old

No one hires you to write

Your dreams become a cage

The Stratford Family story

Wouldn't even fill a page

**Rose, spoken:**

Samuel!

**Samuel, spoken:**

Rose, where have you been?

**Rose, spoken:**

It’s been a busy morning... and we have a problem

## Lyrics

**Narrator:**

The Stratford Family Paper Stand

Has turned into a meeting place

In Printing House Square

Some come for the paper

Some come with their fears 36

Or simply to stare

They all want to meet a Stratford

To get closer by degrees

When a story has a face

It’s easy to believe

Imagination’s running at breakneck speeds

Follow it and find out where it leads

Once you get a look, you cannot unsee

A woman with a Bible

Stands across the street

She stares at Rose

And begins to speak

**Preacher:**

What does it mean

This new Eden overhead?

Is it heaven

Or where angels fear to tread?

He made the moon and stars

**Chorus:**

Let there be light

**Preacher:**

He saw that it was good

**Chorus:**

Will we be alright

**Preacher:**

Children of God

Look north!

Children of God

Go forth!

Into the sky, His kingdom extends

A kingdom without end

**Chorus:** (counterpoint)

Imagination’s running at breakneck speeds

Follow it and find out where it leads

Once you get a look

You cannot unsee

**Preacher:** (counterpoint)

Children of God

Look north!

Children of God

Go forth!

Children of God!

**Chorus:**

What does it mean

This new Eden overhead

**Samuel:**

Rose!

**Rose:**

Samuel, what's wrong?

**Samuel:**

I just went to our apartment

And the whole place had been sacked

**Rose:**

What?

**Samuel:**

The door was broken in

They overturned our beds

Our kitchen, oven, living room

Were all ripped into shreds

**Rose:**

We were robbed?

**Samuel:**

That's the thing

Nothing was missing

**Rose and Samuel:**

...Herschel’s journal

**Narrator:**

The crook could look

But they would never find

Cause Rose's notebook

Never left her side

The Stratford Family Paper Stand

Closed early that day

Rose and Samuel

Needed a new place to stay

A horse drawn carriage

Pulled up beside the twins

Get in
