**The Great Betrayal** was a major event that occurred in Fear League Squad history. It occurred on June 20, 2020, but its effects lasted several weeks after.

## Summary

datrompboi's swan song and is the closest the FLSQ has ever gotten to Civil War. Out of all the conflicts that took place inside the server, this is the one that Chris6d and the Squadinate Majors want buried. It was immediately followed by a culture change to the server as a whole. It took place on June 20th, 2020, and it was dealt with the next day.

## History

### The Rising Action

The seeds for the Great Betrayal were planted during FLSQ War 4, when datrompboi and Mr. Sharx got into an argument over who was really second in command of the Fear League Squad. Mr. Sharx had been gaining a lot of influence over the moderation of the server for some time, however these were all things that datrompboi could've done himself. But datrompboi didn't become a powder keg until his close ally R32 was banned by Mr. Sharx. From that point onward, datrompboi saw his equal as a power-hungry dictator.

For nearly two weeks the server was in good shape. But behind the curtains, tensions between datrompboi and Mr. Sharx were clear as they never spoke to each other during this time. At least they weren't bitter rivals who couldn't coexist.....yet.

### The Inevitable Round Two Comes

On June 20th, 2020, datrompboi asked the Squadinate Majors if R32 could come back to the server in a mods only channel. R32 had long been suspected of being datrompboi's alt, so this request was doomed from the start. Every moderator shot that proposal down.

datrompboi said "He texted me saying that he didnt mean to do what he did."

Mr. Sharx then said "I gotta say. You're a terrible liar." Just like that, any hope for a compromise was lost.

### The Rampage Begins

datrompboi was not giving up on R32. He continued to fight for his alleged alt for some time. Chris6d and Mr. Sharx didn't cave in, as they pointed out that second chances have failed every time. The Flattening was the result of giving Raptor and Sova second chances

After going nowhere in his push for R32's return, datrompboi went off the deep end. A full blown rant that took place in both the general channel and the security channel began.

### An Unexpected Observer

During the debate, Adar messaged Chris6d with a picture from the security channel. That meant there was a mole within the mod team. Mr. Sharx quickly proved his innocence, but datrompboi wanted revenge. He accused Mr. Sharx of sending the messages. (The culprit was later found out to be datrompboi in a conversation between Adar and Mr. Sharx. datrompboi saw the scenario as an opportunity to make Mr. Sharx look bad by framing him.) After Mr. Sharx proved everything he sent was legit, datrompboi shifted his goal: Make Mr. Sharx suffer to the point where he would leave the server and leave him as the only Senior Major. To his misfortune, Mr. Sharx stuck around.

### From Bad to Worse

datrompboi's main gripe was that Mr. Sharx was power-hungry. This is hypocritical on so many levels. The reason that "battle" from FLSQ War 4 happened was because datrompboi said that he should have administrative powers. Even then Mr. Sharx apologized to datrompboi during the war. datrompboi either didn't know or care about it.

On top of that datrompboi said a lot of bad things to Mr. Sharx. From stale "your mom" jokes to saying Mr. Sharx would execute people and/or starve them if he was in power of any country. Out of all of them, this was by far the worst: He accused Mr. Sharx of being a pedophile just because he defended StarPaladinX, who R32 and datrompboi ferociously cyber-bullied in FLSQ War 4. Out of anger, Mr. Sharx revealed that him and Chris6d knew that R32 was an alt all along. datrompboi didn't prove him wrong and then made the outrageous claim that StarPaladinX was Mr. Sharx's alt. This is a massive contradiction to the insult that hit Mr. Sharx like a freight train. It was at that point when Chris6d decided Senior Major needed to be removed from datrompboi.

Many attempts to stop the fighting were made. Mr. Sharx told datrompboi to relax or go for a walk and return to have a peaceful conversation. Chris6d assured everyone that Mr. Sharx and datrompboi were equals. CallOfDedSec tried to get them both to stop by saying that they were both wrong. That tactic actually made a change. It made Mr. Sharx make fun of him for the rest of the ordeal. No matter what was said or who said what, datrompboi showed no sign of slowing down.

datrompboi's awful behavior was unanimously despised by everyone who was online. He used racial slurs, not even a month after George Floyd was murdered, and used homosexuality as an insult, during Pride Month. Every Squadinate Major agreed that he was too mentally unstable to be admin. Embarrassingly for datrompboi, basic Squadinates pointed out the flaws in his arguments. In short, he made a fool and jerk of himself for all to see.

But if you were to ask him about his progress, he would tell you that he did a very fine job with Mr. Sharx being the one with the lies. He didn't realize that he turned the conflict into a personal fight.

### The Unstoppable Force Loses to the Immovable Object

The dispute finally ended when Mr. Sharx went invisible until Datrompboi ran out of steam. Unfortunately, the integrity of the FLSQ mod team was annihilated. WikiaWriter12 threatened to leave if Datrompboi wasn't banned and Burgermeister wanted massive reforms to the server. Mr. Sharx, on the other hand, was heartbroken. He was good friends with Datrompboi in real life. The things Datrompboi said to him could not be forgiven. Mr. Sharx cut all ties with him and called for a harsh punishment. He demanded the complete removal of adminship and that apologies be issued through DMs with a time limit looming over it. CallOfDedSec and Burgermeister supported the arrangement.

The only reason he was an admin whatsoever the day after was just so he could be able to read what was being said about him in #security.

### The End of datrompboi

After a half-hour of discussion over what was to be done about him, he went online. His previous bit of activity was in #security, so he got to read what everyone had to say about him. He did a few bot commands to see his status and progression in the FLSQ one last time. He then left the server two minutes after his last message was sent. He was quickly banned by his replacement, Burgermeister. Burgermeister would implement a series of reforms known as The Burgerreformations.

### Aftermath

The server moved on as quickly as it could. The server would eventually get more active overall and break its member count record without datrompboi's help. He has been mocked for his temper and Trump-like messages since he turned on the staff.

On July 9, 2020 Adar revealed shockingly nasty things said by datrompboi to Mr. Sharx. Chris6d was speechless. After that it was forbidden to speak about datrompboi or The Great Betrayal anywhere in the server. The next day, on July 10, the server hit 400 users, officially recovering from The Flattening and signalling a new era of greatness for the server, which is to come.
