To further the brand of COMMUNISM and their displeasure with the way the forums were being ran, Shelarahn took on the persona of THE COMMISSAR, a balaclava clad revolutionary who made ISIS style videos declaring war on the powers that be and "the capitalist dogs". The idea originally came from a promotional video done for The Lightninghoof Invasion, but this time around was done in a more personal fashion, calling out people by name and addressing specific issues in the community. Kayfabe was kept among the COMMIES that THE COMMISSAR was a completely different person from Shelarahn, adding to the spectacle of the propaganda. These "manifestos" were released for almost 2 months, each one used to recruit more people and to complain about the state of the forums and overzealous Brony mods. | To further the brand of COMMUNISM and their displeasure with the way the forums were being ran, Shelarahn took on the persona of THE COMMISSAR, a balaclava clad revolutionary who made ISIS style videos declaring war on the powers that be and "the capitalist dogs".

The unique personality and flavor that COMMUNISM brought was infectious. Within the first week recruits were flocking the the guild and the circle (an in-game chat that allowed people to keep in touch without joining a guild). | The unique personality and flavor that COMMUNISM brought was infectious. Within the first week recruits were flocking the the guild and the circle (an in-game chat that allowed people to keep in touch without joining a guild). Solgnir, Dianic, Sicari, and Gauze were just a few names among the man who joined up during this period. They themselves then dedicated themselves to contributing to COMMUNISM shitposting, turning the entire affair into a snowball of terrible posting and forums bullying. | ||
By late June, the forums had reached such an insufferable point that Shelarahn and the other COMMUNIST leaders began work on an alternative offsite, but never panned out due to declining interest in Wildstar. | By late June, the forums had reached such an insufferable point that Shelarahn and the other COMMUNIST leaders began work on an alternative offsite, but never panned out due to declining interest in Wildstar. | ||

With the impending launch of Warlords of Draenor in [[World of Warcraft]], Wildstar was completely shuttered, but the impact of the game on COMMUNISM was undeniable. New breath was breathed into the group, dozens of new personalities became mainstays, most notably Succ, [[Solgnir]], and [[Dianic]]. The momentum from Wildstar gave COMMUNISM plenty of energy going into the [[Emerald Dream Invasion]]. | With the impending launch of Warlords of Draenor in [[World of Warcraft]], Wildstar was completely shuttered, but the impact of the game on COMMUNISM was undeniable.
