The Holy Council, Volume I
2009 - 2013 (Collapse) Then Volume II is 2013 - (Deviant Art Sequel, Still Led By NK
The Stone Age
Around 2003 there was a former group of real life people I called Octan. I later made it stand for Optical Central Tanish Army Nation. hahaha. It was a petty group of elementary schoolers who pledged allegiance to me in a way. We used invisible guns and hand binoculars and I rode on my second in command's back with a stick like I was a knight with a sword. I only did that once or twice though. We didn't use horses. The military was in two conflicts around 2004 that were between my militia, and my future girlfriend's little militia. There was never a clear winner and I got wounded once. Octan dissolved completely by 2008 when we got too old to be like this. THC was formed afterward and I sought out to make it professional despite my bad grammar at the time.

Founding of The Holy Council
I joined Bungie.net a long time ago. I'm not sure how I found Bungie but I got there. I was super excited to see what the groups were about and were like, so I kept trying to make one. After being in Compoundintelligence for about two weeks, I founded THC on July 4th. I decided to call it the Nighthawks, but it was taken, so I was trying to think of the High Council I made the mistake of The Holy Council, but it was good enough since the same day I got 2 members. The name stuck.
First Members
The first 2 Members were Seargent Major and RunicCentaur. Runic posted 3 times and disappeared, but holds one of the first records broken, first active member and first custom rank. He was gone forever soon. Seargent Major, however, kept coming back. I posted news saying "you should be more active". It can still be seen today. Next came Gatorboy. He was ok. Later, he revealed he was racist and after that became less active and quit.
Seargent Major becomes leader
As you can see.......I had no idea what I was doing. I figured I needed a night guard for the group of like 10 members while I went on a week vacation. I logged onto a Best Buy computer (Store computer) and made sure the future success was okay. I came back, and the goal I set for him, 20 members, was completed. I said that he could keep his Prophet rank (The leader full control, CEO of the time rank name) if he got us to 20 members. He kept this rank until the end. It was the same exact rank as I had. Until the end. Imagine that loyalty. From 12 members to almost 200. Awesome.
LordAustin16 Joins
Who? Why...this is the highest mod, and currently the only person to have a custom rank in The Holy Council. But, when I posted lower messages (I had no leadership skills)
He posted spam and saying "Group shutting down" and we lost 3 members. Never to return.
LordAustin16 would return with the same exact profile, but claims hes someone else, or something, its okay if hes lying because we all forgive him.

By December 22nd, 2009 we had some of the greatest members: DozerandDaisy, cRaZyT101, rooster cogburn6, Skullbuster1220...
Stuck at 50
For weeks, The Holy Council was stuck at 50 members because of LordAustin16. Noobkilla73 recruited as did many members but it wasn't any good.
New Ally
When Allied with Halo Legends, THC gained a few members and new friends, also someone else to know that THC exists. The two leaders got along well. The Holy Council got to 60, 70, 80, then 100 members.
Pearl Harbor of The Holy Council
October 2009, The Holy Council is active and safe, I met new members, they all came at nearly the same time, I let most in. The "leader" of them asked for full power. I said "you've been here once, for fifteen minutes, lol"
Somehow they got power (Blamed on Shipmaster X) and locked several threads and deleted ALL the pinned topics. Even the first thread and the 100th post thread, as soon as we got 1000 posts. (Jan2012 Edit I think at the time one of the ranks still had delete powers before a mod rank. I'll never make that mistake again :P)

Event Dramatically Changes The Holy Council
As soon as it ended and LordAustin16 bans the bad guys, I was pissed. I was glad that the current leadership worked, they were stopped, but too late. Work was done to fix the problem, done ALL by Noobkilla73.
1. New Ranks
To prevent another happening, I fixed up the ranks. I brought down powers and made sure that NO rank had the power to accept members but the leaders. As generous as i am, i made sure you didn't have good powers until officer ranks.
2. Closed Membership
For the 2nd time ever, i closed membership. This prevented the bad guys from coming in, all i needed was to be attacked while fixing up the damage from the last one.
Results
To prove and test my tweaking, i opened membership. It is still open today. I am still waiting to test it, im sure it works.
The List is Created
The list was Insane's idea. It was a list of group conquerors. It was put to good use but after we had no more problems with the conquerors it was thrown away.
We Hit 180 (The GOLDEN age)
A miracle of recruiting happens. If makes up for the time lost trying to fix THC's defenses. Although we failed the goal of 200 by 2010, it was made up, and we will soon reach it.
Golden age ends and THCv1 Falls
"The exchange"
By February, The Holy Council had 185 (Possibly 193) members. Darthdizor fools Seargent Major into giving full power to him. He takes over. THC has fell. My system was completely successful. Seargent Major joins The Holy Council V2, but leaves...
Last Moments
Insane wonders why I am kicked out. I wasn't online at the time so I was unable to do anything.
February 12th 2010 THCv1 Falls
20 Members again
Mid-February, THCv2 had 20 members. After the great embarrassment, THC gains new members. Old members join and new ones too.
Fall of V2
I was pissed. I just saw the movie avatar and I came home, and THC was gone. I didn't know what to do. I literally sat with a straight face with a few tears down my eyes. LOL. I gathered members at Halo Legends and made V2. MBT Knights MBT offers to help. He doesn't. He takes over and we don't know until V4. (The Holy Council). The only reason we went to The original name is because V3 was too much. Plus MBT and Venom were in and spamming :| V3 was made my cRaZyT101 to apparently "Let off some steam" but all they did was insult each other and I demanded Peach to stop insulting me. The main reason I broke off and made V4 was because order had to be established. Now it's years later and it seemed to have worked. - Jan2012
A New Hope
After abandoning THC V3, THC members would move for the last time. To The Hôly Council. Here we would make a new group and make it better than THC V1. Seargent Major did not leave and SelectivePeach10 returned.
DozerandDaisy and LordAustin16 were promoted and Skullbuster1220 got a new rank later on. Insane AlphaBeta then made the list complete by adding more group conquerors. VADER111111111 did not quit but was tempted to in the midst of SelectivePeach's Sexist Joke thread. He also made a new website and found an old forgotten one.

Duck Dodgers begins reign
Duck dodgers begins to take over groups with ransoms. Every group put under pressure was destroyed.
Noobkilla73 changes password
After being phished, I changed my password thanks to Insane Alphabeta. And to the community forum.
'Real Group Coonqueror"
This is the infamous picture. it is supposed to be a message that I sent to MBT Knights MBT saying that I conquered my own group. This is how I defended myself:
-The message has terrible grammar. I used firefox at the time so if there were any mistakes I would fix them with spell check.
-Some of the letters like P, B, and T are bolded. This is unknown.
-I believe the message was created with Microsoft Paint. LordAustin16 showed me how easy it was to make a false and fake message. He made a message saying Insane was going to take over THC and was asking LA if he wanted to help. It was 100% fake but it showed me how easy it was to do this.
it is very cool how we have this picture. I am glad to show you a visual of the group. I hope to have more images.

Example
This is a fake message I made with GIMP and Photobucket
the entire thing was created in about 5 minutes.

Phished? my ass
I was not phished and MBT is innocent. He said he phished me in THC OCA (My best attempt at an alliance with OCA before it died) and Vader said he could serve prison time. I don't think he really faced any consequences but he didn't phish me anyway so who gives a -blam!-
The porn......... yeah right
One day Skull broadcasted Mad Max 1 Part 1. There was a scene in the intro of a sniper looking through a scope at a straight couple having sex. The image was very blurry and it was censored because it was on youtube. James called us faggots and flamed and yelled and we tried to calm him down, I said it was not part of the story and he went out of control. Later Insane came and heard too much of James's side, which came to the conclusion of the new rule, don't ban until both sides are heard.
Later James left, and he came back the next day. This began the drama age
Later James left, and he came back the next day. This began the drama age
Drama......
In early July 2010 the drama age began. After so many groups called THC we worry more that the group cannot sustain itself. We gain gamedays and then darth makes a warning.
The Drama at it's height.
Darth suddenly appeared in the chat. We swear our asses off and since he is the nightmare. He warns us of a bot that can destroy our group. After lots and lots of talking and talking we decide to ignore it. This may have gotten Darth mad but who gives a -blam!-.
Mod Problem?
Insane Alphabeta speaks that the mods are locking threads without reason. Lordaustin speaks against by saying that he is tired of Group Conqueror threads and there is only one thread about it which he was not locked. I agreed with a "Thumbs up" and it closed out.
David
It turns out that "Darth" was David in the chat. Insane permabanned him from the group. This is the end to david. It's about time they listened to my comments and such.
The Store Begins Operations
7/18/2010 4:36 PM PDT Is the time that a news story was posted stating that the store has been updated dramatically."Updates: I separated the vehicles from the weapons I added new vehicles and weapons There is a new layout and theme Prices are red" This is the time I think that the store became a true part of the group. at the time it was only items and not anything it is right now (History Book, rules, Criminal Records, Clan, etc.)
New The Holy Council
After talking with key members of THC for days we decided we needed THCv1's style back. Work on this began on August 12th. On the 2nd day of the project we had a new background and people were more active and motivated. Things are going well.
Plans Scrapped
The plans were then scrapped and then the group focused on bigger problems.
Whiter than you's return
November 2010. There has been a lot more activity and that is thanks to an old member's return. He received a promotion and there was a small celebration in the xat chat.
Engineers
My plans to make THC's defenses extremely effective and special forces that are super members have been developed. The prototype rank has created in early November. This was scrapped with the creation of a new rank and the idea was too advanced.
Engineers Canceled
The idea was useless and the rank was scrapped and recycled.
Durandal Merge
Durandal, dead, merged with THC 1-22-11 the group joined in but the members were never active. I know not to merge anymore now because 1. It kills groups, even dead ones, and the members just quit anyway. 2. It's not my area to decide other group's fates. -Jan2012
Anything But Spam
The group died. It was too dead to even merge with THC. Unfortunate.
Spam Attack!
Vader and SM (Slightly Jamesonrevenge) spammed the hell out of the group. Vader and Sergeant Major lost all powers. This paved way for an election, skull's idea, to replace SM. An election between Tyrannosoul, Skullbuster1220, and Insane Alphabeta. I thought it was a great idea and I told him to make the thread.
Evidence
Here's a visual. This is the thread "THC LIVE" Talking about a new chat Skull created. As you can see, every post is edited. Even those by the founder
Poll to decide
The First thread to decide who would win. It was deleted because.....well look at my post in white text. For the record, this thread got one vote, which was for Tyrannosoul
Damage of the Spamming Attack
Now spam is easily dealt with. Delete the threads they made and ban them! Well, this was a very unusual attack. It has done by a mod and one of the two co-leaders. They did damage like this:
Alt Registration Thread
They deleted my post. It contained all alts people posted. However I was able to use the posts people made to recreate it. This time the file and copy of it was saved in my computer. It will not take so long to recreate it. Imagine if all posts were deleted like this.....
One of The Spam Threads Made By KillerMario
I have no idea where Killermario came from. I think OCA saw us get spammed so someone joined in. Unless someone from OCA happened to be here and they joined in on the spamming. Either way Killermario had no power so there was no real damage. Simple spam.
SM's weird paragraph
Main Page During Spam
Here is an image of what the center of the main page looked like after the 2nd attack.
Doubt in Seargent Major
Skull thinks that SM is now a barrier. Vader seems to want to as well. They want to slow us down....
I have all kinds of cool coups :P v
Seargent Major
He is forgiven.
Adviser Rank Created
A rank was created in order to help revive the group. It's made like the elite forces rank in THCv1,
News Story
It got deleted because from the outside it looked like we were ordered to spam, really we got spammed.
I'M NOT A SPAMMER
This is my classifieds post saying that I am not a conqueror or even a spammer. I don't remember what happened to it but I think it's well written.
Your group will be attacked soon
We chatted for a while, then he started spamming and we ignored it until he left. And there was no spam attack from FUCKING OCA. Our old friends! :D
Interior of Fake THC
This is the fake THC where Killermario planned to spam us. What's noticeable is that they used our exact same pinned topics with the same text. It's almost plagiarism lol
Crazy and everyone else speaking the truth that we didn't spam anyone were banned. No free speech here.....

Co-Leader Re-election not really spoken of again
I guess we aren't gonna have another co-leader or replace SM. SM can't be replaced anyway. As MBT Knights put it, he's a core member.
The fake THC was deleted by Achronos
War Between SAS Halo 3 and The Holy Council
War. An internet war. Hahahahah
Alright guys this is serious. They think that we declared war on us, and they are spamming us. Why? I didn't declare any war. I didn't even do anything. We were posting about whether we were allies or not.

Midwar
The war was only like two days long. The idea of wars between groups was plainly silly by us. Members didn't take it seriously but the idea of people coming in the group and spamming over and over again does not please me.
"War" settled
Although ShadowLegacy seemed to want to stop this phoney war, MBT attacked. It's like Germany in 1945 when Donitz told Germany to surrender, but for a few more days the Nazis held out as resistance.
Small numbers then[ww2], but this time it was around 5 or 6 that attacked. Seen in my quote.

Alt Attack! Sort of.
Well, here was a true surprise. MBT Knights MBT made is 40 alts join THC. By May 10th 2011, we went from 204 to 241. None of the alts really seemed to attack. So, really, it just made us have more members.
Sweet.
Sweet.
Crazyt101 = cRaZyT1O1
Well that's bullshit. The name "Crazys_Virus_Vault" is his laptop name- he had viruses.
PTC
Well, here's the interior. Most threads appear to be old and one is even archived. The one locked one seems suspicious. It was edited after being put up for so long. The "Spam" one was also edited.
MBT Knights MBT
MBT Knights covers up his alts joining.
MBT's alts
This took about 5 minutes to find. Derp.
News Story of Alts.
"Mr Conway Twitty" link goes to image above, with the white rectangle.
MBT's response to alts
I posted the image of half of his alts. They are ALL banned from the public forums because Duck Dodgers was permabanned.
MORE Alts !?!?
Wow. But, I banned every alt known of MBT. Which may have been 40. Two of those members are real too. Not over 30 alts.
All were banned by NK and given the rank "MBT Knights MBT"
None were kicked because-well- they add member count. :)

ODST Content Alliance Close To Dead
Here it is on July 6th 2011. Right after THC's successful, active party on the 4th. Not much of a comparison.
ODST Content Alliance Even Closer to being Dead
Here's the group, resting in archives. October 8th, 2011. 8:13 am
Bet they never saw THAT coming... I was banned there. Never liked them. Don't get me wrong. SelectivePeach10 is a cool person. This sort of reminds me of the Covenant. Like I was an Arbiter. Judged by them, and later their entire society died out, turned to flood. However I didn't impale Clark with an energy sword, however I'd like to impale Venom with two energy swords. That son of a bitch. See? It lives on. Ahh... good times. :D
Just kidding with the swords though. I'm not a murderer XD

The Holy Council on the same day
Now up to 319 members, we slowly creep up to OCA's member count. Soon, it will be the same. I can't hate OCA anymore. There's nothing to hate except archived topics. What's the point now? Venom quit, Clark lurks and Chelavaca is just looking around and posting a thread or two. IN A MONTH. I have to say, THC is my home. I love this place. Lots of intelligent people in a safe group. Never again will the group fall to a conqueror. NK shows the path to 1000 and we will reach the goal. Trust me. What have I done wrong?
Over 300 Members
THC lives on! Still active and interesting, the group moves up and is going to reach 400 in a month or so.
A Goal For THC
This thread helped wake up a few people to help. But I was the one who got us to 300. Maybe someone else helped too. But I am not sure. Please don't make this a "Well I did everything" post. Maybe I did, but don't take it that way.
Arbiter's Apology
After ages of arguments, they both apologize to each other. It looks like there will be no more conflict between the two. He requested me to put this as "The Day Arbiter Shut The Hell Up" but that's not really fit for the title of this.
Oh and Farewell didn't mean he left. For future reference.
Oh and Farewell didn't mean he left. For future reference.
The Construct
The Construct happened on 10-09-11 in the THCV4 chat. It was me, NK, posing as a new guy from a different chat on xat who happened to come across THC's chat. I really sunk into my character. I never used apostrophes or capitals. I also purposely put a / instead of a question mark. To make it seem as it was impossible to be me. I always fixed my mistakes.
Mostly what happened was I made my way onto talking about THC to see what feedback people had, because it was hard to get other ways. Over time, Insane called me an idiot and said he always spoke his opinion. When he said something about my messages about feedback, I switched my name from Snookie (Default Name) to "Noobkilla73...umad?"
Kbones and Arbiter got a little pissed off, and then we talked. For a while. The scary part for them is when my alt said that they had 436 people from groups ready to take over THC. I said I had 'enough intel'. I quickly cut away from that, knowing I might get in a lot of trouble lol. I would never do such a thing.
Plasma Rifle is a placeholder.
This is also where the phrase "My Shift Key Is Broken" came from.

Seargent Major's at it again.
It appears that SM made an alt, made on Oct 15th and decided to spam the group with about 7 threads. He posed to be some medieval guard who caught someone stealing. He says "Pay With Your Blood." As if he was talking to someone. In some threads the members did reply, and Skull banned him. Eventually the alt was banned and did not post, and the threads were deleted by Noobkilla73.
Pictured is a screenshot of a few threads before they were deleted.

ODST Content Alliance V2 on October 15th 2011
The group has yet two more alive threads. It will be completely dead by 2012....
It's a real shame. The group used to be like Titanic. Huge. Active. Awesome. And then it was dead, along with all it's treasures.
And on the same day.....

Seargent Major's Picture
It all started with a crude drawing. Sm found a picture and edited it to be funny. It was funny. So I made my own. But I decided to take a sharp turn.
I made this one.
I posted this in the thread, and MrNuke agreed with it. Somehow we then discussed which picture was better until I said "Fuck You" to Insane. It then turned into a heated discussion between the two, until I mentioned that I wanted to commit suicide because of his insults. It got very quiet. Over time, it cleared up and the thread was deleted.
Over time everything got back to normal.
Me and Insane didn't disagree or fight anymore for a while and I talked about finishing my roleplay. I posted about how I was going to tell everyone to post as many threads as possible (Quality ones) and how I was going to recruit a lot more.
The Roleplay was a success.
Although about 3 people were posting, it was somewhat successful, getting 160 posts in a few hours. It was locked for only a few people posting over and over and over. Understandable. But I was having fun...
Roleplay Taken Down
On this site, the pages were deleted. One after another. The site was then renamed again, from UNSC Vs. Covenant.
THC's Activity Drops
With the activity slowly going down, the 2011 games are released. MW3 and Skyrim. THC's activity goes even lower. I typed up a very long thread and it got people talking. People started to post threads and the activity went through the roof again. Half a page of new threads in a day.
New Threads
Image of new threads. November 13th 2011.
New Activity
I asked Arbiter to post more often (Since it was about a week since he posted) and he made a lot of new posts. Lots of other members also began to post more often. Spam thread has 8343 posts. Nov 22 -11
My Outrage
Weeeelll I was pretty pissed. But I still stand by these facts.
Same Post
Kb0nes was disgusted by this post, and I was furious. The group was silent for a while and then a post came up about rebuilding the group. I retook my responsibility as leader and decided to keep the group going, despite all the pressure and stress.
Skull Bans 2 Members
Right after my rant Skull and I decided to go back and forth talking about the situation. He called me Emo and decided to ban members every time I made an "Emo" post. I told him straight up that that was not a solution!
Post Rant Group
After I ranted three paragraphs the group got a lot more active, and then I met Kashinfist in the Classifieds in a thread I made called "Enough of these stupid worthless groups" (Which later went up to a hot topic with 50-60 posts) and we were arguing until we decided to back off and Kashinfist joined the group to check it out. He joined and became an official member of the council.
Insane Alphabeta as Darthdizor (Probably)
^ Lol
DarthDizor, a household name because everyone knew him. He conquered THCv1. Apparently now he was back, but with retarded grammar. The exact grammar that Insane AlphaBeta has. Most obviously how he says "Since" as "Sense" and other third grader grammar. Just look at it. It's an embarrassment. I never gave up saying he was Insane and then it got quiet.
Achronos
I actually did send a message to achronos and here's proof. I don't lie. I understood what he said and invited him over to the group anytime. I also asked if I could have an admin rank in the long abandoned original THCv2 group. No answer. He's swamped in messages and I couldn't believe he replied. Like I said he probably has 700 messages. What they are about we don't know Lol. Complaints.
Kashinfist the Head of Realignment
_"""You are now the head of realignment. I need your type. You post, you recruit, you constantly come back. We need you. You don't know how bad. I will recruit along side you. Post a thread in the classifieds about THC when your Abusement Park goes over to page 2. I don't want to get you banned. I will answer any questions you have. If you don't want this job, I will be very sad. Please do this for me. Post a classifieds post and send a few messages."""
I sent that exact message to Kashinfist on Jan 12 2012 around 4:10.
I sent that exact message to Kashinfist on Jan 12 2012 around 4:10.
The Head of Realignment rank was scrapped by me because it singled out Kashinfist. He asked to keep it but I set him up with normal ranks again.
PTC Revealed
After talking with everyone in the chat for a while, crazy private messaged me and began to reveal what PTC was. He revealed that PTC stood for "Prank The Council" and it was meant for an April Fool's joke. I knew it was dead this whole time. Evil Vader stated (according to Insane) that the group contained some photos. It was never debunked but Crazy said it was dead. I guess that's it. he picture is the time I actually got to go inside a long time ago.
"Pin/Lock Prohibition"
The Crazy exception was a joke.
Around February 4th-5th I told LA to reorganize the pinned topics. He did so. But then, while I was away from the computer, chaos was going down in THC. Threads were being locked, unlocked, pinned, and unpinned. LA did not do this, he said. After a while of chaos, I took lock and pin powers away for a day. Then I gave them back the next day around 9:30 am.
The News of Pin Lock Powers
A short story and I gave the powers back.
The Meeting
As my "New Order" came into effect, I changed the ranks to Councilor I-X and then Police officer. I reintroduced the credit system and offered xbox live prizes. The members liked the new Order and people slowly left and went to sleep. I scheduled the meeting for 9:00 but I came 21 minutes late because I went to see the movie "Chronicle." Meeting took place on February 12th, 2012.
First Credits are awarded.
Thursday, February 16th. 5:00. me123456789 is given 100p for correctly guessing a picture was a Stormtrooper Helmet.
SelectivePeach10's Demotion
In a thread about things not covered in the rules, Peach called THC a place people laugh at. I asked him why he kept coming back and who was laughing, and he answered he doesn't know why he keeps coming back and he's laughing. I told him that if he was laughing at the group, his rank wasn't deserved. I demoted him to the first rank and he responded by saying "Hahahahahahahah somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I'm joking duuude. Man all the way to the bottom rank? One comment from me pushed your buttons that hard?
DAYUM.
:P"
The rest of the conversation went like this:
NK - Your rank was designated for the best. You're not.
Peach - Okie dokie
NK - You can make your way back up the ranks.

Arbiter's Health
This message was sent from me to Insane on Feb 25, 2012.
"""Trusted Officer,
Arbiter has revealed to me that he has some sort of health issue. He is not using his space bar, and claims he is under mind control. I recommended 5 days off of THC. He refused several times. I think I convinced him to go to sleep after a video, but his health may be serious. I posted on the chat "This is the greatest troll ever." and he swore he wasn't trolling. I don't know. It's a delicate situation. I asked if it was something I did, no. Can I help? No. Come into the chat."""
It was later revealed that Arbiter.... "I was sleep deprived and could not let go of TheInternet"

Skullbuster1220 gone missing!
After about half a year of Skullbuster1220 gone, I made another thread. I raised the question if Skull was ashamed of being a Brony, meaning he watched "My Little Pony" Many joked about this, saying Bronies were never ashamed. I then told them that Skull was struggling with it, not trying to become a Brony. Perhaps he never wanted to be a Brony, especially not around his former colleges. Skull never posted in the thread, or even appeared. He probably never knew it was created, seeing how he was always on Youtube forming Brony videos including one called "Just another day on the MLP [My Little Pony] forums."
THC - TGOD Alliance
After I met their group on the Classifieds, I formed an official alliance with them on March 21st. It was good to see a group with a topic, and active. Now if they need help on something we can help. The group had around 50 members when I joined. It was a new group.
ODST 0994
Since activity was a flat line (same amount of posts every day, good amount), Kbones mysteriously disappeared. It was spilled out that, after an age of insulting people, Kbones was ODST. At first I didn't know what to do, but Kbones suggested that the ODST profile be banned. I replied that banning a profile that wouldn't mean anything because he wouldn't use it anymore. After a while, some people wanted ODST to stick around, but the final decision would be I wouldn't do anything to Kbones. He tried to do something to help out, but in the wrong way. He wasn't punished, but after this whole thing Kbones was treated differently. I reminded him how he told me to suck his dick, his threads began to fail, and he spoke in caps lock more often.
The Master Ban
After a long time of people calling Arbiter 818 "Arbitard" it was time to act. I put a ban on Kbones I deemed "The Master Ban" it couldn't be messed with, edited, removed, or anything. Arbiter then posted a few screenshots to forward the ban's validity.
The Master Ban Ends
After the Master Banned ended by Kbones simply unbanning himself [I kept the power for him to have a reason to kick him out] we all listened. More ranting about Arbiter, and by now I've had it. I called for a vote. Alts were not allowed. The vote was clear. Most people wanted Kbones to stay, apparently. Arbiter flipped out.
Arbiter 818:
I asked Kbones to leave voluntarily and Bluenighter99 left!
I later asked him to return.
And he did.
And he did.
Decline
The empire soon started to crumble. Being at the same number of members for a year, and less posts every day, the archived topics creeped up. Members didn't seem to care. I went crazy, after my grandmother died, and posted a long paragraph about how I lied, saying that the group was the best. I exclaimed that it was bullshit, and I was sick of begging.
""I'm going all Richard Nixon on you guys. The "-blam!- it" initiative.
Like before, I will not respond to any questions, concerns, complaints, anything until I see some action around here. It's done! I can't do anything. Every action to help this group required help from more than me, and it is very, very, very clear like a window that was cleaned, and then broken with a sledge hammer, that will not happen. So, that's it. It's finished! Done! Ruined! Nothing left to do!
So I am leaving until I see progress. You all decide what you will do, and if you want to continue the group, then do it. Recruit, post threads, and do something productive. If not, the group will die. And that will be it.
Archives creep every day. You don't have much time.
Be back when archives are on page 12 again, goodbye.""

"THC Just Imploded"
"""firstly, i ask that NK doesn't delete this thread, i want the others to see it, as this is just as much of a message to them, as it is to you.
for NK.
you are blind NK, you cant just ban me and expect me to be a done deal, and blasphemy? coming from the same person who cant practice what he preaches,
i did what you said you would do, i even made a thread to see what the group thinks and you ignored it, denied all of my points and facts, denied the fact that everyone disagrees with this decision, you think yours is the only right one, and now your gonna cause members to leave by perma banning me, ive been one of your most loyal trusted members and you know it, and you are willing to just toss all of those who have helped you just over a stupid (-blam!-) grudge?
banning Kbones is one thing, but banning me just because i was speaking my mind is another thing all together, that's all i did, and you just toss me out like an outcast?
i could have left tons of times, but i stayed because i care about this group, but after i once again speak my mind you ban me?
and already you are causing more unneeded drama, SM is saying what we are all thinking, drop the stupid grudge and move on with your life this isn't a (-blam!-) empire this is a group, get back in reality,
if you ignore this post, then so be it, but know this, i may leave, but im taking everyone i can with me,
Kbones.
SM.
MC.
Red Dragon.
crazy.
peach
even arby if he decides to join me
and everyone else that's active here, im sure they would much rather be in a group where the leader listens to and cares about what his group wants rather then some blind man obsessed with a grudge, and will kick and ban anyone who *defys* him, even if he makes fair points,
the bottom line is this, if you don't wise up and realise how much of a dick your being then im done with you, and that means im done with the group you current are leader of, THC.
did i mention how you did not even ask anyone if you should ban me?
no ya didn't, you continue to take your *assumptions* as fact and ignore everyone else,
if, or when THC dies, you will be the only one to blame, not us, we made THC what it is today by keeping it alive, and you would just rather toss us out then hear us out on our thoughts.
i was even gonna do some reviews and news soon.
as for the members of THC,
due your self a favor and realise this, NK has changed, his attitude towards the group and members has changed, the way he sees it, it doesn't matter how long you have been here, how long you have been a member, none of that matters, this petty grudge with kbones has blinded him, if you disagree with anything he says regarding the kbones or me incident, he will ban you,
heed my warning, your better off leaving then staying here with him at this point, he doesn't care who joins, as long as he is recognised for making a group with alot of members, he wants to be in the spotlight, he doesn't care anymore, so don't be fooled.
now to wrap this thread up.
NK if you are willing to do me one last favor *which i doubt* i ask that you let this post stand, as my final post in THC.
goodbye THC, if yall decide to join me, i will see you at DoF.
---InsaneAlphaBeta."""
And so the book closed for Insane. To that point anyway. I responded with a "Finally. The problems leave with them.
This is the only THC. Enjoy your stay. no more bans will happen. :D"

The Second Master Ban failed, and Arbiter looked upon it with a strange face. He was going to watch the group die, from the outside. Even though he rejoined a few times afterward.
Kbones was banned, and then Insane unbanned him, so I banned him for 3 days, and he left. They both were gone, and then Masterchief left with him. Big loss, actually.
Errmm..dead by the end of the year? End of the month? The week?
Oh Boy
Yep. So a guy named "BleepBloop75" joined THC, to help ya know. And here MC said he was an alt of him when nobody was in the chat. He then posted "lfhelsih ujfjbd" talk to get it off of the screen, but XAT automatically removes too much of it.
Lol.
Lol.
'Should I stay or should I go now?'
Arbiter kept leaving and rejoining constantly. In the meantime, I decided to act on Dawn Of Freedom.
Insane made me a moderator.
Which was simply Ban people, lock, and that's about it. In THC, a group a zillion times bigger he could even delete threads. I quit, because I didn't want power. I wanted the group to be gone. Side groups are worthless. Even the ones meant to help. They all just die.
Later...
I had to make a bargain with Insane and Crazy, where they would leave DoF and get their ranks back in THC. I fiddled with the agreement, and so did they. Insane made the ranks "High Councilor" and in one of the ranks it said "High Councllor" or something like that. It was a different rank. I asked them if they thought I was an idiot. Soon enough though, Insane left the group. I had a hunch that one of the ranks had a space in it to make it a different rank. I was right. I gave them their ranks, and they were taken away again....
I knew it.
KB0n3s is back
And he agreed to follow all rules.
SINGLE ERA
A new era began, consisting of THC as one, under NK and Insane. Only NK [I] had full power.
Dawn Of Freedom Council
Dawn of freedom, or "DoF" was created on July 3rd. I had no idea about it, but I got nosy soon enough.
Anyway, in order to prolong the survival of THC, I wanted to merge DoF "back" into THC. Insane insisted he wanted his own group, and his friends were THC members so those were his members. THC was out in jeopardy, and it was part of his plan I betcha. THC was deprived of activity from original members, and a bargain was made. Insane would become Co-Leader.
Insane's Office
And DoF was finished.
Final Days On Bungie.net
After several months of decline, February 2013 marked the near and inevitable END of The Holy Council.
Something completely unexpected happened. The final nail in the casket. a Bungie update. A huge, unrecognizable Bungie.net update. There was an OUTRAGE in the forums. The Flood was deleted, the site was an eye blinding white, it was awful. People must have figured it wouldn't change so they got used to it. THC's activity DIED. It was a STAB.
For a few more days, people posted in THC. NUMS and Arbiter Rules a little. Insane wasn't seen again. I posted this in THC.
"This place is toast. We're on the Titanic, with buckets. The ship can't be saved. Get into the lifeboat. Insert analogy here.
I made a TheHolyCouncil group there already. This place is -blam!-ed. Truly. I am trying to keep us alive. Come on, listen to me for once. Please. We can't just call it quits here. I'm not leaving you guys here to die with this trashy layout.
Please."

The "TheHolyCouncil" group on Deviant art grew to be a small little hideout for a few people. There was an Exodus from THC before. We all met up after THCv1 fell. But this time one person showed up on the other side of the border.
The update lit an exit sign for me, but the THC members seemed to want to stay joined, here, at home. i heard in my head "The Western Roman Empire" but it was a cheesy analogy. But true.

"This THC is DEAD. Let's try something.
Here's reasons to join the new Deviant Art group.
1. Gather in a place where we can spread our influence without recruiting. They come to US. Wouldn't that be something? How? Have deviations in our featured or one of the folders I made. Our icon is on that deviation and they will come and see us. We didn't even do anything over there and we already have 10 members and 89 pageviews. I've seen a few threads made here, by me. In a week. Then this. Hrrmph. Sort of dead.
2. The new group is unkillable. Even if nothing seems to be happening - each member of our group may be posting deviations that can be submitted to the group. So even if there are no new posts, there's always something new to check out. Here, it's the same old dead group. Shit.
3. I founded this group, both actually. In a way, in a very small way, I am in control of what's going to happen next. You are a MEMBER. Now, everyone can stay in this labyrinth, junkpile, forgotten, dump - or they can come to a fresh place. The next step. Where we aren't dead. Where there are more than 15 mods as a group. How about everyone here is a moderator, NUMS a co-founder, and we watch over a group of more than ourselves? There's already 10 people there. From my friends list. People I like. I like all of you. There's no question. There's no reason not to go. To leave this place.
This place once rang with activity. It. does. Not. Anymore. It's as dead as the art of "Excuse me" in public places. It's more dead than George Lucas' integrity.
Joking aside, this place is DONE. It was a chapter of our history. It's time to take it to the next level. If you all choose to stay here, in a group called "The Holy Council Relic" you will all be left behind. What would you do? I would leave. This may not seem to matter. But who does everyone look up to? Alexander The Great died, and all the generals argued over the empire. You all really want INSANE as the new leader? Bwahaha. I'd rather be lead by a knat!
If there was to be a difference.
Now, it's either a group where things make sense, or a wasteland. There is nothing left to do here. Nobody knows us, nobody joins us, and we are our own moderators. Moderator might as well be the rank you get when you join. Join the new group. Where things are new, fresh, and the whiteboard wiped clean.
I love THC. But not this one. You all tried to make your own group. THCv3. And how did that turn out? Anarchy."

It took a while to type, but every letter contributed to an elemental blast at THC. This THC is dead.

Last Moments
Unfortunately, I couldn't keep the mirage of out activity going because I got signed out. I lost the godddamn paper that had my password on it, so I was out of luck. I changed my password multiple times, and I was always signed in. THC on Bungie.net was doomed to die from then on. I was the only one with admin privilages. THC may have kept going for a while longer by lingers, but I consider it dead.
THC DIED
THC DIED
Deviantart Eastern Roman Empire
While the Bungie.net THC was fucked, the one created to move it lived on. Although it was somewhat dead, had no forum, and few members, the legion on my friends list were de-facto THC members. Friends.
So as of March 23, 2013 onward THC no longer officially existed on Bungie.net, but as a few dwellers on deviantart who are only members of THC on DA because they were longtime friends.

THC's Culture Lives on
It's not dead
Salvage The Remains
While me123456789 and James lingered in THC, I banned them and a few others to purposely stop THC activity. I got a message from NUMS saying:
"Really? Well I left the Devient Art group as well. Didn't think you would actually kill it, nice to know you don't give a damn about anyone else. Especially those who where there at the beginning of it all."
"Really? Well I left the Devient Art group as well. Didn't think you would actually kill it, nice to know you don't give a damn about anyone else. Especially those who where there at the beginning of it all."
And I replied with "Jesus Christ what I did was force people to abandon a dead group to move on. Not dwell in the past. I did this BECAUSE I wanted people to keep THC alive. To go to a group where it isn't 3 people playing pretend THC is still alive. Over there you are mods and it means something. It means you rule the group, and watch to make sure people don't screw up things. Being a mod here means talk to the other mods and pretend your rank means anything other than "member"
If you choose not to go to DeviantART, then THC is finished. Or at least with most of it's original members. You all went inactive. You lost hope, and I did too. So people simply stopped coming. Our member count went down like 5 people. 5 people. That's a terrible blow to THC. At it's height, it must have had about 25 people who posted. Now 2 - 3. It's pathetic, so I wanted to move on.
What this all boils down to is that Deviant Art is IT. Or else THC will be a footmark in history. We can still use the THCV4 chat, have new buddies, it only takes like 2 seconds to make a [profile] on xat. We'll bring back movie nights and connect 4 games. But first we need a new street address. If people simply follow my lead, just this one time, I absolutely promise THC will be preserved. Please. Or else you'll hold the guilt of the grim lost hope tribe that many have joined. Are you in, or are you going to forget THC and live in shame. Seems clear to me.
Please."

The New Forum
As I tried to revive THC and the others wanted to dwell in the dead group, I made a new forum both Bungie and Deviant art people could access. If they pleased, anyway. It would be a halfway bridge. It was never used.
Nuclear Explosion At THC, B.net
So since some people refused to move, I banned the Bungie.net accounts. A drastic move, but necessary. THC finally was over, killed by its leader. However the real group on deviantart would live in under my watch and influence. The original THC members did not stay active. BoS Avenger decided to spam THC on B.net with anti Nk messages like traitor and other words. But he said it was a joke. Iunno whatever.
SEAL THE VAULT
At last, THC on Bungie.net was abandoned. Insane was nowhere to be found, but a few other members, basically the active members, moved over to DA and joined in with the active group. The group was growing rapidly and son found 15 members. It was time to rebuild. This concludes Volume One of THC's History.
THC on B.net is a wasteland and a terrible wreck and shadow of 2009.
See you on the other side.
