The Unofficial History of Scratch

Any resemblance to person or persons, living or dead, is purely a result of your deranged mind.

***
One cat to rule them all, one cat to find them.
One cat to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.


  In the beginning, there was the internet, the endless void, the infinite black hole. Kingdoms were built in a day, and collapsed during the night. Wars and alliances were declared, trade and diplomacy were all around.

  And then, in the unknowable place beyond the darkness of the internet, the Outside, rested MIT. And in MIT lived deities powerful beyond imagination. And they sought out the internet, and they built their Cat Kingdom there.

  Andremsh, the great god, named it Scratch, and Paddle2See, his close friend, built it. Soon it was bustling with life... and crime. Lightnin saw that something had to be done, and thus he summoned the Masters of Deception, or MODs, and told them to ensure law and order over Scratch, and gave them legendary weapons, Banhammers, to do so.

  Hideous trolls and wrathful Flamers, beasts from the forest to the south, occasionally staged a raid, but the MODs always managed to drive them away with their Banhammers, and the good citizens of Scratch, the benevolent Scratchers, were always willing to help them.

  Then one day, a man, whose name is lost in the ages of time, declared that he needed a place for him to shout out, to announce his opinions, and to help others learn about the wonderful place called Scratch.

  And the MODs discussed, and consulted the gods.

  Eventually, they decreed that the man was correct, and they erected a Forum for him. But soon a woman joined him in the forums, and more and more people began to arrive. The Forum needed expanding, so that was what the gods did.

  It became so big that they had to separate it into several sub-forums, for certain topics. One, for example, was for New Scratchers to ask and question, to enrich their knowledge of Scratch. Another was for the people with opinions, who discussed things frantically-the new 3DS! The classic campfire tale of Lavender Town! And so on and so forth.

  But the Forums popularity continued to increase, and increase, and children wanted to participate as well. But they had short attention spans, and would get bored after listening for a while. So the TBG Forum was created, for them to play their games and scream excitedly as a wish was corrupted, an evil magician defeated.

  And all was well.

Yeah, but LOTR was too boring, so I just kept the quotes.  tongue

@cheddargirl-Why? See, even now you're behaving like a normal user. But when a troll slip pasts the nets... HAMMER TIME

Also, I might add Namco as an evil rival kingdom(what kind of sad, pathetic lawyer wanders the forums looking for things to sue anyway?) and Kaj as a dark force or something. Part 2 Coming up.

Re: The Unofficial History of Scratch

OK, part two, from my point of view. The quote is a variation of a variation of a quote about MIT(the irony).
***
Trying to become awesome on Scratch is like taking a drink from a tsunami.
  Helltank shifted in his seat, staring intently at his history book, reading about the structure of the forums when it was first created-as a tiny stone square- and now, and the pros and cons of each.

  He nodded sagely, as though he understood it all, although in reality, he only gleaned that things were pretty different back then, which he already knew. Bored, helltank flipped through chapters, hoping for something interesting-didn't they have wars back then? His wish was granted. He found not one,  but two chapters detailing great wars in the history of Scratch.

  And began to read.

The Failure of the Namco Invasion
  The Namco Empire was a large one, starting from the outside and slowly inching its slow tendrils toward the internet. It reached there, establishing a strong foothold and becoming an obscure empire, though respected by all who knew it.

  It was obscure because it was remote and only those who wanted to go there would actively look for it-it produced nobody famous. Philociraptor outshone any philosophers it produced; the Sparta King outshone any warriors it produced.

  But it was powerful, all the same, and one day it targeted Scratch, the small but rapidly growing kingdom. Namco knew Scratch would one day be a great kingdom; that much was obvious, so it intended to destroy it before it could grow.

  After all, Scratch was the nearest kingdom, and it couldn't risk invasion; it was not famous enough to have many allies for support, and although its army was large, Scratch's army would easily destroy it if allowed to grow.
 
  However, Scratch had many other kingdoms backing it up, and it knew the only way was to take out its citizens one by one. So it sent out its assassins, and they chose the humble house of 124scratch and his family

  In the darkness of the night, the assassins climbed through the window and found 124scratch sleeping peacefully in his bed, and slit his throat. Their murder did not go undiscovered. Scratchers, when they found out, called for justice. What right did Namco have to attack them?

  They created a petition, known as the "Petition to get the Pac Man Project back online". It gained many signatures from angry Scratchers. The MODs themselves, vessels of calm and order, were enraged, and many signed, as well.

  Even the gods were furious to hear about it. How dare Namco attack their beloved country! How dare they! And so the Scratchers banded together, and stormed Namco's castle, and they were successful.

  Namco was smart, and took this as a sign not to ever try to attack Scratch again. The failed Namco Invasion had ended, mere weeks after the original attack. The internet knew that Scratch, while small, possessed more passion and strength than any empire could.
----
  Helltank was fascinated. No one had mentioned this! Of course, perhaps it was due to the fact that the matter was resolved very quickly, but still! Namco was a huge empire, and their castle was stormed by an angry band of ordinary citizens? Amazing!

  He read on, about the Legend of Kaj. This one he knew, the name Kaj having been whispered at many campfires, in the shadow of many old trees. But he did not know the full history, and he wanted to find out more.

  The Legend of Kaj
  Kaj was an ordinary Scratcher, but he was not as strong as the rest, as quick as the rest. He sought fame, but did not achieve it. He sought wealth, but did not achieve it. But most of all, he wanted his name in the history books. And he achieved it.

  He found out about the tales of "hackers", a secret cult using black magicks to control one's mind. And he had an idea, a wild idea. He claimed to be part of the cult, to know the secret of black magick.

  Many Scratchers were terrified, and changed their passwords, and locked their doors. Children were not allowed to play at night, and none of them wanted to; they did not want to be come a slave to the hackers.

  But the MODs were wise, and saw Kaj for what he was, and they used their Banhammer on him. Kaj escaped, though, and came back with a disguise, a new identity. He started to tell people he was a hacker, as before. He told people he was the reincarnation of Kaj, his "alt", or physical manifestation of spirit.

  The MODs stepped him again, but Kaj would not stop trying. Finally, they worked together to trap Kaj in a back alley, and attacked him as one, many headed, thousand strong force, unstoppable and unkillable. Kaj scampered over the wall, and vowed never to return.

  The devious trolls, of course, tried to inspire fear by scheming to pretend to be an alt of Kaj, but the spark was gone, and the MODs were cautious now, and dealt mercilessly with all of them.

  And that was the end of Kaj, but his goal was complete. His name lived on in the history books.

  He is legend.
----
  Helltank slammed the history book shut. That had been just as fascinating as Namco's invasion. Scratch is more powerful than I realized, he mused, and he was right.

So put this into the Kaj section:

Code:

  Kaj was an ordinary Scratcher, but she was not as strong as the rest, as quick as the rest. She sought fame, but did not achieve it. She sought wealth, but did not achieve it. But most of all, she wanted her name in the history books. And she achieved it.

  She found out about the tales of "hackers", a secret cult using black magicks to control one's mind. And she had an idea, a wild idea. She claimed to be part of the cult, to know the secret of black magick. 

  Many Scratchers were terrified, and changed their passwords, and locked their doors. Children were not allowed to play at night, and none of them wanted to; they did not want to be come a slave to the hackers.

  But the MODs were wise, and saw Kaj for what she was, and they used their Banhammer on her. Kaj escaped, though, and came back with a disguise, a new identity. She started to tell people she was a hacker, as before. She told people she was the reincarnation of Kaj, her "alt", or physical manifestation of spirit.

  The MODs stopped her again, but Kaj would not stop trying. Finally, they worked together to trap Kaj in a back alley, and attacked her as one, many headed, thousand strong force, unstoppable and unkillable. Kaj scampered over the wall, and vowed never to return.

  The devious trolls, of course, tried to inspire fear by scheming to pretend to be an alt of Kaj, but the spark was gone, and the MODs were cautious now, and dealt mercilessly with all of them. 

  And that was the end of Kaj, but her goal was complete. Her name lived on in the history books.

  She is legend.

(In code so it's not too long.)

Re: The Unofficial History of Scratch

As the endless realms of the internet expanded, there was dark and heavy pressure on Scratch. In short, it was failing. Then, came a wise man known as the Mathwizz, a man who discovered Mesh, allowing for the realms of the internet to expand.

Only, the Wise Man had an equally wise brother, who worked in secret with him. He kept the most important things in Scratch running. Such as Misc and the Front page. His name, is Rabbit1131.
