Even with leadership firmly secured by Taylor, complete control wasnt realistic yet, as the group still relied on a third party platform for its communication. The Mumble, then Discord server of Reticulated Splines was owned by a [[Goon]] named [[Woofington]] who was a known hostile to Taylor specifically, but also to BMW in a broader sense. A change of platform was needed but there was no way to bring about that change until when during one of BMWs many Rust server changes, they came upon an old rival player named [[Hef]]. Somehow or another, Hef came upon the groups Discord and began sitting in on voice conversations and freely reading chats. Woofingtons unwillingness to not only remove Hef but also to not appoint any new mods led Taylor to create the BMW Discord, and move the entirety of the members there. | Even with leadership firmly secured by Taylor, complete control wasnt realistic yet, as the group still relied on a third party platform for its communication.
