'''Clown World War I''' was a conflict between the shitposters of [[ | '''Clown World War I''' was a conflict between the shitposters of The [[WIDEVERSE]] and the Goons of [[SomethingAwful]] in general but specifically [[Serious Overchill]] and [[SA Discord]]. The conflict was a clashing of cultures between the laid back anti-PC anti-censorship views of WTT and the groupthink multiculti "Cult of Chill" perpetuated by Goons. The latter half of the war was characterized by betrayal by BMW admins and [[TT]]s ongoing ineptitude and feud with [[Taylor Swift]]. The war went with [[The Sauce Affair]], resulting in the banning of on-again off-again COMMIE, [[The Sauce]], and personal threats made against Taylor Swift. The war would officially end almost a year later with [[The Troon Uprisings]] and the final purge of Bimmers from SomethingAwful and its associated platforms, including GDN. The war caused untold destruction and butthurt across many discords and created countless splinter groups and feuds among the factions. Its widely regarded as a mostly hilarious affair. | ||

Prior to the ousting, Taylor had planned to leverage the groups access to gain access to the development of [[GDN]], which had stagnated due to Kales lack of interest, as a way to increase BMWs recruitment, by finding troubled users using text recognition. This basic concept would later be used as the basis for the cover story during Operation Overlard. | Prior to the ousting, Taylor had planned to leverage the groups access to gain access to the development of [[GDN]], which had stagnated due to Kales lack of interest, as a way to increase BMWs recruitment, by finding troubled users using text recognition.

The program was largely a success for months, but in May of 2018, began to turn sour. A small contingent of the rapefugees, led by notorious pedophile Tallgeese, lashed out at WTT mod [[Prude]] over his love for traps and their misunderstanding of the word vestigial. In hindsight its clear this was their own latent pedo tendencies lashing out in some sort of weird closeted cry for attention. Regardless, a small group of these posters fucked off into a small discord that would later fold. | ||
A month later, Taylor would begin receiving strange and threatening texts in the middle of the night from people who claimed that he would be doxxed and outed as a racist, presumably by Goons. The dissident admins feigned sympathy, but after The Sauce Affair it would become clear they were either involved or at the very least, knowledgeable, as information obtained during [[The Skirmish Of Wonka Plains]] showed that a parachute discord had been prepared almost directly in sync with the text messages, assumedly coordinated by Sauce and [[Hindered]]. The admins eventually found an excuse in the form of a missed permission for a music bot to stage an all out coup against Taylor. The attempt utterly failed as the group lacked any charisma and the subsequent restructuring of WTT led to a renaissance in the groups culture, largely overshadowing the coup plotters. | A month later, Taylor would begin receiving strange and threatening texts in the middle of the night from people who claimed that he would be doxxed and outed as a racist, presumably by Goons.

Along with this move, Prude brought forth the idea to bring back politics from the dying Rocket.Chat platform to a separate Discord, specifically the former [[COMMUNISM]] discord, [[BEEFY BOYS]]. | ||
The newfound platform and freedom from the obligations of leading WTT encouraged Taylor to don his "Taylor Unchained" persona, where he went on a tour of fucking with people, mostly The Wonkas and TT, reigniting the war. The first battle of this new chapter in the war was The Skirmish of Wonka Plains, where Taylor went into their dead discord and openly mocked them and [[Kimsemus]]. The latter would try and scold Taylor for sullying his good name and trying to take credit for creating BMW. He was mostly laughed at for being a faggot who cried about internet things. The BEEFY BOYS were eventually banned from Wonka discord in because of the continued bad blood. | The newfound platform and freedom from the obligations of leading WTT encouraged Taylor to don his "Taylor Unchained" persona, where he went on a tour of fucking with people, mostly The Wonkas and TT, reigniting the war.
