A Golden Age is a specific time or era in COMMIEVERSE history where everything is going exceedingly well, people are heavily involved, and everyone is in their best mode.

Defining a Golden Age

A golden age is relatively easy to define. Its marked as a period of time when members of the group, no matter the relative group size, are increasingly involved in the day to day operation of the group and are dedicated to its growth. Its also marked by an uptick in activity, both irl, in the social media and chat platforms, and in game.

A golden age historically has been marked in retrospect by members of the COMMUNISM Historical Society, but occasionally a golden age is declared in the midst of said event.

History

The first use of the term "golden age" began when Shelarahn started to collect the histories of COMMUNISM into a comprehensive tome in 2014.

1st Golden Age

Beginning: Formation of COMMUNISM
End: 1st COMMUNISM CIVIL WAR
April 16th - December 4th 2007 (7 months, 2 weeks and 4 days)

The 1st Golden Age of COMMUNISM began with the birth of COMMUNISM itself, with a period of high notoriety and activity within the group. The era is remember as the time many of the traditions of the group began and when members of myth were in the group, such as Spaceballs, Icarus, DonBrasher, and others. It was during this age that COMMUNISM built its reputation. Also, the group was most active in WoW, with several raid groups going, progressing through content.

The Golden Age ended in December when Shelarahn and his raid group split off because of Spaceballs refusal to allow a multiboxer to raid with the guild.

2nd Golden Age

Beginning: Formation of Friend Zone
End: The Banishment of Shelarahn
April 3 2012 - June 6th 2013 (1 year, 2 months and 3 days)

The 2nd Golden Age began with members of the 2nd COMMUNISM coming back together on the Darkspear US server and founding the guild, Friend Zone. On paper, this was the groups peak in WoW, with the guild eventually becoming the best guild on the entire server, beating out several other much older and established guilds. The concept of branching out into other games was also established during this age, with FriendCraft.

The age ended when Shelarahn was removed from the guild, however, the age would continue for a year or so after for Friend Zone, however they were now outside of the COMMIEVERSE.
