GripeType47

**GripeType47**, formerly known as **Karol248PL**, is a member and one of the Wiki Devs on the Ink Tank server. He is a regular who joined in November 2017, which makes him the longest staying regular on the server.

## Personality

Gripe is usually a much more reasonable member of the server, unless he isn't.

## History

### Before joining The Tank

Gripe had a few YouTube channels which had videos that were deleted by him. His current YouTube channel was created on July 27th 2015. He joined few different communities be it on Discord, Skype, Youtube, etc.

In August of 2017, he stumbled upon a certain video called "Why Ben 10 Can Beat Goku, Superman, and Pretty Much ANYONE" created by Kuro the Artist. Through that video he found Kuro's art and his webcomic which he grew to like a lot over time. Sometime after, he discovered the server Kuro has been preparing and joined it straight away.

### The Tank Discord

Gripe joined the server for the first time on November 4th, 2017 which is also his name day. Over the span of the following months he aquired roles such as Fizzy Gang and VIP. He joined the Wiki Team on November 7th, 2017. He later resigned for few months on December 30th, 2017.

During this time he accidenatly spawned the "Flameboi" meme, a name used to describe one of unrevealed powerhouse playlist aliens from 5YL, which spread throught the community and is still used to this day.

During the following years Gripe has become a very well known member of the Ink Tank server. He became the second highest ranked person on the server and was the third person to reach the EDT rank. He also acquired the Tank Army role at the time of it being created. He quit and rejoined the server a few times over this timeframe.

Over the span of 2021, Gripe started to use the server less and less. He also lost his second rank and third rank spot to M.A and The Heat. As of July 2021, the Tank is no longer his main server of interest and only occasionally passes by to check it and sometimes engage in interactions with others.

At the start of 2022, Gripe began to look for a new username for himself, feeling as the old one was very outdated and childish, which led him to the random name generator for the game Among Us, with the resulting name being "Griptype", which was changed slightly to GripeType. Later on after his final exams he added the 47 to the name, after getting a seat with this number, which coincidentally was made up of his two favorite numbers.

In the August of 2023, Gripe earned the temporary Warned role for a very out of touch response he sent.

## Trivia

* People used to be confused about his gender due to the fact that his name is mostly used as a female name outside of Poland.
* Gripeis pretty much neutral when it comes to server events.
	+ However, he was drafted during one of the events, and joined Kuro's army during the 2021 Star Wars event.
* Gripe was offered the position of mod, however he rejected it thinking that he wouldn't be able to handle the pressure of moderating a big server.
	+ However, he was given the moderator status on the Rustbucket channel chat after asking Kuro for it.
