The Lightninghoof Invasion was the first major operation by the newly reformed COMMUNISM in 2013, after the failure of the Friend Zone Project. Its regarded as one of the great Golden Ages of COMMUNISM and marked the groups return and established many of the groups main characters.

Background

After the failure of The Friend Zone Project and The Banishment of Shelarahn, COMMUNISM was in a complete state of disarray. The complete roster was less than 10 people, no clear leadership, and no future. By early July of 2013, the group was no more than Shelarahn and the odd member in voice once a week or the odd DM.

On July 18th 2013, Prude returned from his long sabbatical dedicated to the idea of reforming the old group. Together, he and Shelarahn set out getting people more interested, mainly the few loyalists still around from Friend Zone. Additionally, Prude reached out to his long time high school acquaintance, Pigeon, who bonded with the group immediately over talk of breakups and ex-girlfriends.

One of the Friend Zone loyalists, Dlight, suggested that the newly reformed COMMUNISM look to the WoW server of Lightninghoof as a launch point for the new WoW venture. The server was ideal: Few large guilds, no huge raid scene, very casual.

Arrival & COMMUNISM vs DISTRACTION

COMMUNISMS arrival was relatively lowkey, with the usual Trade Chat and guild invite spam. Shelarahn had the brilliant idea to create an ISIS style propaganda video addressing the forums of Lightninghoof that was received with much confusion, but got the name out. A few recruits trickled in over the first few weeks, giving the guild some life.

One of COMMUNISM first victims was a Shaman by the name Xjxjxjxjxj, who claimed he was a Dutch cancer patient. Pigeon posed as an e-girl in an attempt to catfish him. In retrospect it was very strange. This however led the COMMUNISTS to a larger target: DISTRACTION. A "hardcore" PvP guild led by a literal ditch digger in LA County. They were ripe for trolling, so IRON CURTAIN began gathering intel and infiltrating the guild in an attempt to undermine them. The operations were largely successful, but the mission changed when one day mid-battleground, the guild leader told the voice chat that he had shit himself. Immediate victory was declared because its never going to get funnier than a dude straight up dropping a log in his tighty whities while playing World of Warcraft.

Afterwards, other operations were planned against other guilds but never came to fruition in light of COMMUNISM attempts at breaching into the raiding scene.
