The COMMIES having bought in early allowed them to begin playing the game a few days before the rest of the community, so by the time the mass population had arrived, most COMMIES were already way ahead. This gave them more time to focus on propaganda and recruitment. One of these avenues was the official realm forums, much like the original Gorgonnash realm forums, which were highly active and concentrated towards just the players of Pergo. The COMMUNISM recruitment thread immediately became one of the most active threads on not only the Pergo forums, but the entire Wildstar forums. The popularity only rose when [[Shelarahn]] began making custom invite videos for people who were expressing interest, most notably [[Succ]]s legendary recruitment video. | The COMMIES having bought in early allowed them to begin playing the game a few days before the rest of the community, so by the time the mass population had arrived, most COMMIES were already way ahead.

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".

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. | |||
