[[Shelarahn]] and [[Arkon]] met via mutual friends in the glory days of AIM chat and discovered mutual interest in a game called Runescape. During this time was when Shelarahn and Arkons ability to be total dicks was discovered, as together they shitted up multiple clans on Runescape, as well as running their own. Their first clan joined together was a shitty clan called Warriors Gate that was led by a very angry Arab man. The clan focused on PvP because Runescape was a dumb game with not much to do at the time. Several other people consisted of this "proto-group" including Arkons real life friend, Dark fire500 nicknamed Ol' Greasy and a kid named Lance from New Hampshire.

Around 200x, Prude and Austin met while playing Diablo 2. [[Prude]] also met [[Pigeon]] not long afterwards, but wasn't that close with him initially.

<COMMUNISM> was founded on April 16 2007 on the US server Gorgonnash by a terrible human being named Spaceballs. The goal of the guild was essentially to piss off as many people as possible and to attract like minded individuals to do the same. COMMUNISM began dabbling in some light Karazhan raiding, but couldn't really get past Moroes because they sucked and Spaceballs couldn't lead worth a shit. The guild was fairly infamous on Gorgonnash from its inception given their proclivity for pissing people off and starting giant flame wars on the forums, as well as their memorable Auchindoun battles with <Serenity> and their leader, Georgepatton. Around this time, the leadership of COMMUNISM comprised of Spaceballs as GM, Malade who was dating Spaceballs at the time as co-GM, and Icarus as Spaceballs right hand man. Other memorable members included TJfrost, Donbrasher, Trance, and Prophetomega. (Many of these names and more from that time can be seen in the screenshot below.)

August 2007, two members by the name of Arkon and Shelarahn joined COMMUNISM, attracted by the no rules environment, and ready to make a name for themselves on Gorgonnash. Arkon was a drugged out hippie known to disappear for months at a time and Shelarahn was a socially retarded shut in, which was probably the key demographic for COMMUNISM back in the day. Arkon had been playing since around the time of launch, but Shelarahn had started only in November 2006 when Arkon convinced him to switch from Runescape. Arkon and Shelarahn over the next few months slowly formed what would later be referred to as "The Group", which was in essence just a clique in COMMUNISM for them to feel like they had some power.
August 2007, an Undead Warrior named Shelarahn joined COMMUNISM, attracted by the no rules environment, and ready to make a name for themselves on Gorgonnash. Shelarahn, Secondary, and a few others over the next few months slowly formed what would later be referred to as "The Group", which was in essence just a clique in COMMUNISM for them to feel like they had some power.


A few months later, COMMUNISM had branched into 25 man raiding, thanks in no small part to a merge between COMMUNISM and another fledgling 10 man guild that led to COMMUNISM briefly being named NOT A DEMOCRACY, going as far as killing Gruul and putting in attempts on Loot Reaver. Shelarahn had ascended to the role of officer in the guild, which led to frequent power plays with Spaceballs girlfriend, Malade. Eventually, the tension came to a head when Shelarahn refused Spaceballs order to disallow a dual boxer from raiding. Shelarahns raid group and a few others left COMMUNISM. They went on to form a guild named <Scholars and Gentlemen> that later failed miserably because Shelarahn also couldn't lead worth a shit. Shelarahn disbanded the guild and went back to one of the guilds he had been in prior to COMMUNISM, <[[Guns for Hire]]>. During the spring and summer of 2008, Shelarahn geared up and was recruited by <Damage Done>. After the dissolution of the main COMMUNISM raiding force, COMMUNISM went back to being just a jerk off guild while one by one the leadership quit.

In April 2012, Jessikuh got most of the old group back together on a new server and under a new guild name: <[[Friend Zone]]>. Shelarahn and Prude were hesitant at first considering Reckface (Who was GM of said guild) had a track record of being a shitty person. They overlooked it off however and spent the next 6 months building a top 100 US 25man raiding guild from a couple of fuck ups wiping all night on Hagara in Dragon Soul. Prude left half way through to go bone some chick in Texas, leaving Shelarahn as the sole cat wrangler. In Summer 2012, Shelarahn, Arkon (who had returned from a very long absence and had become an officer in Friend Zone), and a few other group members who had been met on Darkspear went back to Gorgnnash and got COMMUNISM back from Petrus, who was still serving as caretaker. The officers vision of Friend Zone in the beginning was to create a COMMUNISM like atmosphere but with actual dragon killing. Later on however, Reckface and Jessikuhs vision became more simple: They wanted to recreate their old guild from Darkspear, but with them in charge instead. These two visions clashed over the next year, leading to several falling outs over several issues. Friend Zone eventually absorbed a transfer guild from Gorgonnash, bringing with it the typical try hards that Friend Zone was created to not attract. Several of the new members from the absorbed guild remembered Shelarahn and COMMUNISM from Gorgonnash, and already had a hard on to be a dick to him. Shelarahn was eventually betrayed and thrown under the buss, having spent over a year of his life building a guild that he was now not only not welcome in, but openly hated in.

In Texas however, Prude had been living his life with an old member of The Group and former officer of Friend Zone, Mandapanda. They had quit the game and gone on to live their normal lives up until sometime in summer 2013, when they split. Prude was not only devastated but more or less stranded in Texas. He gathered up what was left of his life and moved back to California in July 2013.
