European Union of Group Chats (EUGC)

Flag

The **European Union of Group Chats (EUGC)** is a political and economic union for group chats based primarily in and around Europe.

## Purpose

The EUGC allows for easier trade between its member states, as well as a number of laws which can affect it widely, such as the Schengan Area, which abolished passport controls between different EUGC member states, or the Human Rights Act.

It also provides funding for projects in its member states which are in-relation to culture, humanities, aid requirements, etc.

### Law Enforcement

Laws in the EUGC are enforced by member states' respective legal agencies and courts, such as The Metropolitan Police or The Old Bailey. However, other means of law enforcement from Interpol and the International Court of Justice are used for trying cases which take place across numerous countries, such as human trafficking or smuggling.

## Member States

Almost every country in Europe is a member. However, some countries such as Switzerland or Norway have decided previously not to join, while others maintain special status, which allows trade between the country and the EU for a discounted weekly fee.

### The United Kingdom of Group Chats' withdrawal/"Brexit"

In June of 2016, citizens of The United Kingdom of Group Chats voted in a referendum to leave the EUGC alongside its non-group chat counterpart, which elected to leave the European Union at the same time.

The process to leave is expected to take at least 2 years.
Mycroft Holmes

### Relatives

Sherlock Holmes (brother), Mr. Holmes (father), Mrs. Holmes (mother), Claude Joseph Vernet (great uncle)

## Physical description

### Eye color

Brown

**Michael Mycroft Walter Holmes** is the older brother of Sherlock Holmes, and is rumoured to hold major positions and roles (either advisory or controlling) in many governments across the world. Most notably, the UKGC's government.

## Early Life

Not much is known about Mycroft's early life, other than his brother Sherlock was born seven years after he was to Mr and Mrs Holmes. The two Holmes siblings are known to have a very erratic relationship with one another.

## Career

Much of Mycroft's career is unknown and kept secret from the world. However, it is suspected he did work with the Secret Service in the UKGC before rising through the ranks to becoming what Sherlock defines as a "freelance political advisor who sometimes is the government".

### Penguin Club Elections

Mycroft previously mentioned having something to do with the Penguin Club Elections, and it later turned out that he was moderating a debate between candidates while disguised as David Dimbleby with his true mission being to assassinate Lord Squidy. However, his bullet missed and instead caused the debate to be cancelled due to safety fears.

### Undercover for Underwood

In one of Mycroft's most notable escapades was when he went undercover at a White House meeting in-order to help President Frank Underwood and other notable members of The Democrats lobby in-favour of the GroupWorks program.

The most notable about this event was that he went in-disguise as a woman (in a disguise apparently owned by Sherlock) called Mitochondria Organelle, who was hit upon frequently by Batte S. Casey and at one point broke the glass of Warren Buffett when his girdle allegedly snapped.

### Fall out at The White House

Mycroft caused an argument during the attempts to capture the Tiscali family with regards to the way method of holding a family member ransom in-exchange for the release of several diplomats and ambassadors at the UKGC Embassy in Cargo Shipping, which resulted in the blackmailing of Underwood by Bill Hawkes and Charles Augustus Magnussen in-exchange for Mycroft's safety.

## Relationships

### Sherlock Holmes

Mycroft has an erratic relationship with his brother, and has been seen not to be above arguing with him in what many see as being childish. However, he has helped his brother out in several cases, and his brother has also helped him in a number of cases.

### Political figures

Mycroft is on first-name terms of many political figures worldwide, such as Claire Underwood, Hart Vortex and others. However, he currently maintains a strained relationship with the Underwood administration due to the aforementioned disagreement.
Francercise

**Francis Underwood's Francercise** or **Francercise: A Presidential Exercise Regime** is a crack roleplay that took place on April 1st 2020 to celebrate April Fools' Day.

It is based on the running joke that after Francis Underwood left political life and started work in the private sector that he may have began making his own exercise DVDs.

## Plot

The roleplay begins with Hugo S. Catman introducing a supposedly "life-changing" roleplay that covers many different genres such as high-stakes drama, mystery, romance and erotica - especially in the case of a romance plot between Figel Narage and Col. Harland Sanders.

This was then interrupted by Francis Underwood commandeering control of the roleplay group, and beginning an exercise regime (whilst wearing a neon pink headband) based on his actions throughout the roleplay series, including lunging and pushing or ducking gunshots to the tune of Wanna Dance! by Joseph Connor.

It then cuts back to Hugo S. Catman finishing the roleplay and explaining that the "super amazing roleplay that answers all the questions everyone's been asking" is so amazing that it will never be repeated ever again.

## Behind the Scenes

Francis Underwood left the main Groupy McGroupface roleplay universe after allegations of sexual harassment and assault came up against his real-life actor Kevin Spacey and Underwood's second and maximum term came to an explosive ending.

Since then his continued existence in the GMGF roleplay universe has only been through off-hand references by the likes of Claire Underwood up to and including now.

The title **Francercise** is a play on **Francis** and **Exercise**, and is also a reference to the **Jazzercise** dance fitness franchise.
Fenn

This page contains spoilers. Do not read the contents of this page or DM Joe will be disappointed with you.

Fenn was found washed up on the island of Lurwellan as a young girl. The local Druid Circle 'Sahil Alwsy' took her in, naming and raising her as one of their own. The Sahil Alwsy lived to protect the elemental balance in the world; guiding the ebb and flow of the ocean's tempestuous nature.

Fenn remembered nothing of her life before her sudden arrival on Lurwellan and so became immersed in the life of the druids whom took her into their circle. She loved her family but there remained within her a spark of longing for another life.

As time passed Fenn grew in power and the druids schooled her in the ways of the ocean's nature and the magics it lent them. Despite this Fenn struggled to control her power, growing wild and unpredictable with the internal struggle. As her instability grew the druids tried to contain her power but often failed, resulting in outbursts of dangerous elemental magics.

Long memories began to cast back to a time when Gods still interfered in the way Humans; sending their champions to alter the course of events around the world. These champions could shape the future to benefit or destroy humanity at the will of their patron.

As Fenn became increasingly erratic murmurs began that she may have a patron. The worst of these began talking of Zeboim; Godess of the Sea and Storms, known for her unpredictable and often catastrophic nature. Fenn became ostracized from much of the circle, a select few continuing to teach and care for her. However this was not enough.

Fenn woke up surrounded by devastation. All she had ever known lay in ruins, all she had loved strewn dead around her. The sensation of ripping winds, blinding rain and roiling power lingered within her. And fear. Fear of the unknown. Who is she? What is she? Where is she really from? Was she sent? By whom? Could it be Zeboim? If so, what is she truly capable of?

The Lasagna Factory™

An image of The Classic Lasagna®

The Lasagna Factory™ is a Groupy McGroupface-based restaurant chain. Warren Buffett, famous stock investor and Secretary of the Treasury under the Underwood  Administration, previously owned a minority stake in the company.

However, in 2020, billionaire Jack Robertson initiated a hostile takeover of the company, buying Buffett's shares as well as the 1% of remaining shares owned by Mark Cuban. He completely gutted the board of directors, but allowed founders Dough and Mussolini to stay onboard.

## History

The restaurant was founded in Groupy McGroupface, and is still based there to this day. However, it has a number of locations in almost all other group chats, including the UKGC. Unfortunately, Penguin Club law prevents foreign business from establishing locations in their group chat, meaning The Lasagna Factory™ cannot have a location there.

## Menu

The Lasagna Factory™ serves nothing but different variations of lasagna. They serve regular lasanga (italian sausage and cheese, along with tomato sauce), seafood lasagna (fish, slime, and tartar sauce), an eggplant lasagna and the "Chef's Special®" The "Chef's Special®" includes discarded meat, bits of sushi, and "green herbs" that are rumored to be from Batte S. Casey's personal farm in Cargo Shipping. They also have a vegan option, that is made of spinach, lettuce, and corn.

A dessert menu is also available, and includes a Chocolate Lasagna®, made of chocolate chips, fudge, cookie crumbs, and more fudge.

It has been described as, "the best thing I have ever tasted" by Senator Garfield.

## Complaints

Many have complained about The Lasagna Factory™ as making them sick. There have been lawsuits against the company, but for some reason all of the cases have been dismissed at some point. Some have claimed that the kitchen is unsanitary and that they have gotten food poisoning due to The Lasagna Factory's™ food.

## Ownership

Warren Buffett owned a stake in the company (49%), but the main owners were business partners John Dough (of *Big Brother*fame) and Ezio Mussolini, who is occasionally mistaken for the dictator of the same last name. Both own a 25% stake each, while the other 1% of the company was owned by Mark Cuban.

In 2020, billionaire Jack Robertson engaged in negotiations to buy the shares from Cuban and Buffett, which was agreed to. Robertson completed his hostile takeover of the company when he removed the board of directors and replaced them with loyalists from within Robertson Inc. Dough and Mussolini still own a 50% share, but after the board voted to remove all of their allies, their positions are now seen as mostly symbolic.

Hyatt A. Kite

Hyatt A. Kite is a Groupy McGroupface politician who is currently a Senator from a district in rural Groupy McGroupface. He is a part of the Libertarian Party.

## Early Life

Not much is known about Hyatt A. Kite's pre-political life, however it can be inferred that he spent time in jail, judging by the fact that he has a parole officer.

## Political Career

### Senate Term (2016-)

Kite won a Senate seat from a district in rural Groupy McGroupface. Only one person (Kite's parole officer) lives in the district. Kite won with 100% of the votes and officially became the first Libertarian Senator to ever join the Groupy McGroupface.

Despite being a member of the Senate, it is unclear if Kite understand the Democratic process or even what a vote is. However, he can recite the opening paragraph of almost any Wikipedia article ever created.

It is rumored that Kite enjoys lasagna, as he eats at The Lasagna Factory™ regulary with fellow Libertarian Senator Batte S. Casey.

Kite probably doesn't know what a cat is, as he mistakes fellow Senator Larry the Cat for animals like a donkey or dog almost every time he is able to process that Larry is present. When asked about Kite's problem telling cats from other animals in a GCNN interview, Kite's parole officer stated, "At least he understands that it's a mammal." The parole officer then went back to tending his 650 acre beet farm.

#### Groupworks

When GroupWorks was introduced to the Senate by President Frank Underwood , Kite was originally undecided. However, after a meeting with members with the Underwood Administration and Democratic Leadership in which Secretary of the Treasury Warren Buffett offered him, Casey, Larry the Cat, and Garfield a free meal at The Lasagna Factory™, Kite changed his position to pro-GroupWorks.

## Personal Life

Kite has no wife or children. He lives alone in a small apartment a few miles away from the Capitol Building. According to his neighbors, Kite enjoys blasting music in the early hours of the morning. He is said to have listened to the *Dark Side of the Moon (album)*while watching *The Wizard of Oz* simultaneously, listening to The Beatles White Album backwards, and screaming at Jimi Hendrix albums.

Kite also enjoys lasagna, Kit Kat bars, and suspicious looking sushi.
Penny Pincher

**Penny Pincher** is a now-former pickpocket who has appeared in two different *The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes* roleplays.

## Megundal's accomplice

*Main article: The Runaway Room*

One night, Penny slipped into an omnibus to try and find items she could steal and sell on. However, this omnibus would prove to be the scene of the murder of Morta Milverton at the hands of Cosney Megundal over a music box disc with important information contained in it.

After proving to be an unwilling witness to Milverton's murder, Penny was offered the chance to go free with a price—she couldn't tell the police or anyone else what she'd seen or heard, and that she had to withdraw the music box disc from the pawnshop within 2 years, otherwise it would be sold on as unwanted merchandise. Failure to comply would result in the slums she and many other orphaned children lived in being destroyed and the residents chased out.

She later stole Sherlock Holmes's smoke grenade launcher and used it during Megundal's trial to create a distraction that allowed Megundal to taint the evidence, leading to the case against Megundal collapsing due to lack of evidence thereof.

## Accused of Murder!

*Main article: The Unspeakable Story*

Two years after the Megundal incident, Penny later ran into Holmes, Watson and Iris in Hatch's Pawn Shop as she withdrew Megundal's coat. But Morta's son, Robert, claimed that he was the true owner of the coat and the music box disc contained within.

After a joint reasoning session and a confrontation, Tobias Gregson arrived and confiscated the disc before apprehending "Eggs Benedict" and taking him for an interrogation at Great Scotland Yard.

Afterwards, Penny returned to 221B Baker Street for dinner and a sleep-over, telling Dr. Watson that she didn't trust Holmes and that it was likely that any of his stories that were being stored in Hatch's had been sold on for cash. Watson encouraged her to have a little bit more faith in other people before she headed to bed.

That night, Penny went to Hatch's to prove to herself that Watson's manuscripts remained there, and used a gun to get Hatch to open the vault where they were contained. Suddenly, there was a noise outside as the shop was being robbed by Milverton and his friends Nemmy and Tully in search of the box required to play the music box discs.

There was a commotion and Hatch was killed, and Penny was arrested due to her being the number one suspect.

As the investigation continued, Watson and Iris visited Penny in jail, who eventually began cooperating with the two of them and told them everything about the Megundal case from two years ago. After Milverton was apprehended, Penny was allowed to go free and decided to work to become a detective-in-training herself.

## Personality

Penny seems to be an untrusting person due to previous bad experiences due to life on the streets of London, but eventually learns to grow more trusting of other people thanks to Holmes and Watson.

## Name

Her name "Penny Pincher" is reference to the fact that she is (or at least was) a pickpocket.
Aku's Arena

**Aku's Arena** was a role-play that took place in July 2016 for one day only, written by Arl. It revolved around the evil and shape-shifting demon, known as Aku, imprisoning a group of humans and forcing them to battle different creatures.

During the course of the argument between the two gentlemen, they were silenced by the mighty Aku. The evil and shape-shifting demon declared that he would imprison all of them in his mighty arena and only the strongest were to survive. He was to put before him a series of challengers, who they would then have to fight.

Trump and Justice led the charge against a variety of creatures, aggressively fighting for their lives. Eventually, after the humans fought off all of the challenges, Aku was not seen or heard from again.

The Old Bailey

**The Old Bailey**, also known officially as **The Central Criminal Court of the United Kingdom of Group Chats (TC3UKGC)** is the primary courthouse used for the trialing and sentencing of defendants in the United Kingdom of Group Chats.

## Jurist system trials

The court uses the jurist system for trialing defendants, wherein the trial is supervised by a judge, but a verdict is voted on and decided on by a jury of 6 randomly-selected citizens. The vote is made visible by a large set of tipping scales behind the Judge's bench. The jurors may cast their verdict at any time.

A prosecution and defence feature as normal. A gallery is also open for members of the public to watch the trial, but can be cleared if the trial is of great importance, or may contain evidence related to national security/importance.

### Closing Argument

The prosecution and the defence hold right to question a whole verdict (i.e: every juror has voted either guilty or not guilty) with a *closing argument*, wherein jurors will be asked to summarize their reason for such a verdict. If the juror's verdict is found to be currently incorrect, the juror will be asked to withdraw their vote.

If the majority of jurors withdraw their vote, the trial will continue as normal.

### Ordered vote

The Judge has the right to cancel the jury's verdict, or to order the jury to vote Not Guilty in cases where insufficient evidence is presented to prove the defendant's guilt.

## Sentences handed down

The court can hand down sentences as the law requires for the crime.. This also includes the death sentence, which is handed down in cases of severe crimes such as murder, treason, sexual misconduct, or similar.

Grub

An image of Grub

Grub is a being from Hell, known for harassing somewhat innocent people and stalking his prey. Grub first appeared in the 2017/18 Groupy McGroupface Presidential Elections as a speaker at the Libertarian Party Convention of 2017 in support of Batte S. Casey.

## Backstory

Grub's origins are unknown. However, it is believed that he was formed by Luce I. Furr himself in the lowest level of Hell on June 6th, 4000 BCE, before Adam and Eve. He was sent throughout time and space to alter human history in the negative way and do the devil's bidding.

Grub is rumored to have kickstarted the Assassination of Julius Caesar by whispering to Brutus and Cassius in their dreams. He was later reportedly seen whispering to Judas Iscariot, which may or may not have have lead to the betrayal of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Eyewitnesses also claim that Grub was behind the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln an later the Archduke Fraz Ferdinand of Austria. Grub was also seen on the Grassy Knoll in Dallas, Texas in November 22nd, 1963. However, it is not clear if he was involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Grub has a deep and extremely unhealthy addiction with "crackers and snacks." Due to this, some estimates put him at a weight of 666 pounds.

Grub's favorite band is Nickelback.

## Political Career

Grub is a Libertarian, and has partnerships with fellow party members, such as Batte S. Casey and Hyatt A. Kite. In 2017, Grub spoke at the Libertarian National Convention at the Swiss Convention Center in Groupy McGroupface.

Grub is the sole Libertarian member of the Groupy McGroupface House of Representatives. It is suspected that Luce I. Furr may have rigged the election in his favor.

## Criminal Record

Grub has been arrested and tried for war crimes multiple times. However, he has escaped all hearings by swallowing a poison, announcing it to the crowd, and then teleporting via a portal of Luce I. Furr's creation. Since Grub is immortal, the poison he swallows has no effect on him. In fact, Grub exploits this by constantly drinking poisonous substances as a part of his "crackers and snacks" diet.

## History

Newgate Gaol was founded in the Georgian era, and it was where many prisoners were detained and held for the duration of their prison sentence after being tried at the central criminal court at the Old Bailey.

Members of the public were allowed tours to look at prisoners as a means of entertainment, and prisoners could previously "bend the rules" if they paid enough money.

The practise was outlawed after the introduction of the Human Rights Act and the Metropolitan Police.

## Current

### Prisoners

The prison is home to over 1,500 prisoners, who are deemed medium to high security risk by the government.

### Death Sentence

The prison is also home to Solitary Cell 13, where prisoners facing an imminent death sentence stay in-order to await their execution date. The gallows are in a hidden room, the door to which is behind a bookshelf in the cell.

Prisoners are also supervised 24/7 in the wait before their sentence, and are also allowed their last rites.

The prisoner is typically not informed until the actual time his execution is due to begin at.

### Warden

The prison is led by Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, who was offered the position after he retired from the Metropolitan Police (UK).

## Involvement with Sherlock Holmes

### The Runaway Room

The prison will feature in the upcoming Sherlock Holmes RP, The Adventure of the Runaway Room.

## Crown VS Megundal

She has been shown to not pay attention during a large section of the trial against Megundal, as she was mostly concerned with knitting a sweater for her grandson more so than paying attention to the actual trial.

She has also been shown to be hard of hearing.

## Name

Her surname "Biddy" is a pun on the phrase "Old Biddy", which refers to an old woman.
Justin Lawson

**Justin Lawson** is a Chief Superintendent with the Metropolitan Police, leading its Serious Crimes and Major Incident Units.

## Reputation

Lawson has a fierce reputation amongst the citizens of London and the media for his "brute force" approach to seeking the truth and bringing justice "crashing down on top of criminals and terrorists".

As far as relationships go, many of the Yard's detectives try to avoid working anywhere near Lawson when possible, and Lawson has a particular hatred of detectives such as Greg Lestrade who may often employ the services of consultants such as Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson.

There have also been rumours that Lawson has been involved in police violence scandals and deep corruption before. However, these have never been officially proven by any investigation conducted by the Yard's Internal Affairs Committee.
Llama City

Llama City was made by LoganCreeper and DDime so that it would become the Holy Lands of both Llama religions that just unified. We decided to use the old fallen town of Palhouse as the Holy Lands so we claimed more than half of it, sadly Anticosti has an outpost there which blocks our expansion of Llama city but we have worked around it.

(Logan can add whatever he wants to this)

My Groupchat 'Tis of Thee

**My Groupchat 'Tis of Thee** is the official national anthem of Groupy McGroupface.

## Lyrics

*My Groupchat Tis of Thee,*
Groupchat of Liberty,

Of which we sing.

*Land of free talk and peace,*
Where Gif battles shalt ne’er cease,

From here to Washington we cry,

Let freedom ring!

*This native Groupchat thee,*
Groupchat of the bravest free!

Spreading cool love.

Providing great fun and thrills,

So good it gives thee chills,

My heart is fit to burst

With no Penguin Club curse.

*With this music selling thee,*
We’ll proclaim loudly,

We shall stand proud!

*Free talk of politics,*
Roleplay group intermix,

With no room for trolls and hate

Haters shalt abate!

*For these final stanza,*
It shalt be put plain to ya,

We’ll continue to sing!

*May this Groupchat be bright!*
For freedoms of all we fight!

So now we sing with all our might,

Of this chat, we’re proud!

## About the Song

The song was written by Red498 for the first inaugeration of Frank Underwood after it was realised that there was no official national anthem for the group chat.

The song is said to represent the values of the chat, and is designed to be as politically neutral as possible for all members of the group chat—being a rewrite of a traditional American song (My Country Tis of Thee) which is sung to the melody of a traditional British song (God Save the Queen).
