The Human Alliance, nicknamed "HA", is a group on bungie.net. It was founded by Dogbert14 and is currently lead by him, Hotshotesquire, Iamthey, WhiffleBallTony, and TOM T 117. It has frequently been the target of many other groups, usually for the sole reason that Dogbert14 is its founder. It has been conquered two times, each time being won back.
[edit] 2005
[edit] Creation
Dogbert founded High Alliance on April 28, 2005. An increase in members was very slow at first.
[edit] First leader
A member called the Prophet of Hate joined HA and was promoted to a Prophet just for his name. However, he proved himself worthy of the title by being active.
[edit] The TSC War
Dogbert joined a group called The Sangheili Council. He was a member there for a fairly long time until he went to their forums and introduced himself in a thread, claiming that he was a "Human Prophet." Also, since most members there trash-talked humans, this angered him and so he said that "humans kick the crap out of Elites." This proved to be a mistake by all of the flaming and critism directed towards him shortly afterwards. Sword Phantom91, a Hierarch of TSC, saw this as heresy and blacklisted him. Dogbert left TSC out of anger. Since he thought that his blacklisting was unfair and purely prejudiced, he declared war on them and sent members of HA to spy on them and destroy them. The war with TSC was actually mostly a cold war between him and their founder, Reconcilation. They flamed each other via Private Messages. At this time, NightPanda007 was given the rank of a Prophet; the Prophet of Power. He was proclaimed a Hierarch one month later, in August. He was the only one truly involved. He sent PM's to members saying that HA was at war with TSC, and ordering members to destroy them.
[edit] Formation of the Council
Dogbert decided that, due to the TSC issue, a Council was needed. Since he at that time did not have enough time to form it he asked TheVoiceofReason, an Honor Guard of HA at the time, to form it. TheVoiceofReason was the Head of the Council of HA.
[edit] The election of the first Chancellor
Since the Council was now formed, a leader was needed - the Chancellor. An election between two fairly active and loyal members, Ghost357 and Dragon X, was soon held. The election lasted for about three weeks, and Dragon X won, six votes to two.
[edit] The Fall
The fall of TSC soon occurred, although it was not because of HA. The following is a quote from The Fall, written by Reconcilation:
Our enemies were defeated, our Alliance stretched to the very boarders of existence... everywhere we were present in some way, shape and even form. Yet it was not by some outside presence that we had fallen, but by our own Decadence. After we had claimed victory for our final time, there was a rush of new members into the Council aswell as the other allied Covenant Chapters. These " new-bloods " were not interested in our ways nor our history, but merely that they were in Council's and Chapters that were infamous across the board. These Fools and Spaming Infidels eventually drove me and other faction members to breaking point, at this time i wrote of a Prophecy that told of our eventual destruction, and how the remainants of our once great Civilisation became the Heretics and Infidels that we fought so hard and valiantly to purge, and now it is that I see how right I was, By our own Decadence we let slip of what we actually represented and because of that small mistake we fell, at the time i thought to escape this torment I would have to do the unmentionable.. I would be forced to kill the Council, and that is exactly what I did.... It was at that moment, once I had finished my long running Council, that I had realised my folly, I had failed...
Over the summer of 2005, peace was made between Dogbert and Reconcilation. However, most members of TSC did not forgive so kindly and continued to be enemies with him, even to this very day. However, the Chancellor, Dragon X, left HA because the forums of Bungie were returning to "a somewhat peaceful state." A new election was soon held, between Darkness Howls and Ghost357. Darkness Howls won.
[edit] The war with High Charity
Soon after the fall of TSC, Demon slayer 116, an old member of TSC, started his own group called High Charity. He forgave Dogbert for what he had said and got him to join High Charity. As the group slowly began to progress, Dogbert noticed that many old members of TSC were joining, and these new members created an atmosphere similar to TSC. He did not like this at all and left. Demon slayer 166 noticed this and asked him why he left. Dogbert told him why:
My main reasons for leaving were because you had abandoned High Alliance to begin with. And to top it all off, High Charity was slowly turning into a new "Sangheili Council", full of people who have Elites as avatars, the mention of the term "Sangheili" (which for some reason angers me), "Sacred Duties", "Speak your name", "Those who have abandoned us, may they be left behind when the journey begins", "Stupid human bastards", and irritating members of the old TSC. I have made peace with Reconcilation about 3 months ago, but I am still angered with those other members, such as Sword Phantom91, who refuse to admit that they were wrong about a great many things. It just brought back bad memories of the old Sangheili Council, simply put. I did not wish to be a part of it, eventually to be unaccepted for my beliefs, which resulted in a blacklisting from the old TSC, which led to war. Perhaps you can convince me to once again join. But sorry, I highly doubt that it is going to happen.
Demon slayer 116 was not pleased. He basically flamed Dogbert after his comment. Demon slayer 116 was soon booted from HA and Dogbert once again declared war.
He ordered members to spy on HC. He used an alternate account, Trained Elite, an Honor Guard of HA, to spy on them. He acted as the one who was against HA and was eventually promoted to a SpecOps Elite. Eventually, Dogbert revealed himself to be Trained Elite, and ended the war because he realized that it was pointless to begin with. During this time, he abandoned his former rank of "Prophet of War" and renamed it "Emperor." HA was becoming an empire.
[edit] A new Hierarch
Dogbert's best friend set up an account on bungie.net called Where u At. Immediatley after he joined HA, Dogbert promoted him to the rank of a Prophet Hierarch; the Prophet of Hope.
[edit] The Senate is formed
During this time, Dogbert had decided that group wars must be put to an end. He formed a Senate full of representatives from many groups. The Senate took place in a thread in HA. The Chancellor was no longer the leader of the Council; he was now the leader of the Senate.
[edit] The 1st Destruction of HA
Behind a curtain of secrecy lurked Cyclone868, a self proclaimed spy of the Covenant Elite Community and the one that brought an end to HA for some time. Cyclone threatened High Charity. He said that he would put an end to many Covenant themed groups such as CEC. Dogbert liked this. He PMed Cyclone, telling him that he would like to help him destroy Covenant groups, mainly CEC. Cyclone told him that he liked his ideas and that they would discuss how to destroy those groups. Their first target would be CEC. During that time, they discussed on PMs, Xbox Live, and AIM how to destroy CEC. They decided that in order to fully destroy it, they needed to hack Sword Phantom91's account, since he was the founder of CEC. They dicussed how to hack it. Each had their own ideas. Eventually, Cyclone told Dogbert that he should be a Prophet of HA. Dogbert agreed and promoted him, granting him the title of the Prophet of Sacrifice. This proved to be a mistake.
As many days of planning occurred, Cyclone destroyed HA. He booted every member, leaving Where u At for last. However, Where u At, who happened to be online at the time, booted Cyclone before he had the chance. However, this disbanded and destroyed the group. Where u At was the last member of HA, and an honorable member too. Dogbert, angry, asked Cyclone why he destroyed HA. Cyclone revealed that he was really a spy of CEC and that HA's destruction had something to do with his rank. Dogbert had no choice but to plead for his group back.
[edit] The rebellion
Cyclone blackmailed him, continually asking for things such as access to his enemy groups. He claimed himself to be HA's new leader. Dogbert and his old, loyal members did not like this. Eventually, Dogbert got his group back and demoted Cyclone. Although Dogbert now controlled HA as he once did Cyclone claimed that he could hack the group if he wanted to. Dogbert wanted to know how to hack. Cyclone agreed that he would teach him how. However, he started to blackmail Dogbert again. He did not like this at all. Angered, he decided to take a stand. He booted Cyclone from both HA and its Council and ordered TheVoiceofReason, an Honor Guard of the old HA, to blacklist him in case he somehow got in again. He blocked Cyclone from both his PMs and AIM, and removed him from his Friends List on XBL. He no longer believed Cyclone could hack. The tide had turned.
[edit] The Reformation
Dogbert destroyed the placeholder made by Cyclone and created a new one, telling old members of HA to join it once again. They did so and so did new members as well. Although Prophet of Hate was lost in the destruction and never rejoined HA his absence was made up for. In less than a month, the new HA had gained 40 members, some of which were Senators representing groups wishing to join the Senate. The old HA took many months to gain that amount of members. This massive gain of members was a record. An election for Chancellorship was held between Hotshotesquire, Papa John, and Mediocresniper. Hotshotesquire won with 13 votes. During this time, the Senate solved a group war between two major groups, ODST Recon and Mjolnir Battle Tactics.
[edit] The Covenant Senate Crisis and Cyclone's Revenge
By this time, Dogbert had already managed to turn many people and groups against Cyclone, although some groups, such as High Charity, forgave him for his crimes. He had been booted and blacklisted from many groups. However, he wanted to exact revenge on Dogbert.
He created a thread in many groups using a different account. The thread provided evidence that Dogbert really did want to destroy CEC, quoting a conversation by Cyclone and Dogbert over AIM, and a message from Dogbert explaining how CEC would be destroyed. Most groups he had posted this in believed him, and forgave him. One particular group called The Covenant Senate, founded by Reconcilation, wanted to “take action” against HA. Reconcilation ordered the members of TCS to join HA and “inspect” it. However, Dogbert did not like this at all. He presented this to the Senate as an issue. As many members from TCS attempted to join HA only to be rejected, Dogbert angrily told a member of TCS that he took this “inspection” as a threat to both him and Where u At, telling that it would “not be tolerated.” Shortly after that message members of TCS stopped trying to join HA and were not heard from since.
[edit] 2006
[edit] Birth of the Assembly
Believing that the Senate had failed at its goal of bringing prosperity to the community, Papa John decided to create his own “senate” themed group, The 7th Column Assembly. Upon seeing the group, Dogbert booted Papa John and enforced a new rule stating that no members are permitted to create any “senate” themed groups. In the end, neither group succeeded with its goals.
[edit] The "Order" Crisis
Later, Dogbert created a list of “Orders” that can be given by him at any time. The Orders were as follows:
Order 1- Boot all members.
Order 2- Demote all members.
Order 3- Spam a group (ex: execute Order 3; High Charity)
Order 4- Take over a group.
Order 5- Destroy a group.
Order 6- Destroy any and all Spartan/human themed groups.
Order 7- Destroy any and all Elite themed groups.
Order 8- Take over any and all Spartan/human themed groups.
Order 9- Take over any and all Elite themed groups.
Although they were meant only to protect HA from conquerors as means of defense, many people even outside of the group took offense to these Orders and discussed taking “appropriate action” against HA.
It was mainly started by a Senator in HA called Guardian Hunter. He posted his concerns in the 7th Column Assembly, labeling Dogbert and HA itself as “corrupt”. Although many members in the Assembly wanted to take action, Papa John did not see HA as a threat. However, he did express dislike towards them, claiming that they “have become too self concerned to help the Community." At this point many members openly objected to the Orders in both the Assembly and HA itself.
Dogbert did not know that the Orders would cause such an outrage. He deleted them almost immediatley.
[edit] The 2nd Reformation
During this time, the ranks were changed. The following are the ranks that were changed, and the names of their new counterparts:
Prophet Hierarch=Imperial Hierarch
Honor Guard=Imperial Honor Guard
Grunt=Imperial Soldier
Elite=Commander
SpecOps Elite=SpecOps Soldier
[edit] Disbanding of the Senate
During this time, Dogbert grew tired of micromanaging the Senate – most senators were severely inactive, did nothing to help any groups, and did not follow the rules (such as “no flaming.”). However, the 7th Column Assembly gained a fairly dramatic increase of members and were solving group issues. Upon seeing this, Dogbert, though still disapproving of Papa John's idea stealing, announced that he was disbanding the Senate and that the 7th Column Assembly would handle group problems from there on. All group founders in HA whose group had over 30 members were given the rank of “Governor” and Hotshotesquire was granted the title of “Prophet of Destruction” for his hard work. FlameSama was given the title of the “Prophet of Fire.” The Senate was disbanded on Saturday, March 11. HA was now a complete empire.
[edit] Imperial Inner Circle
Dogbert created a new group for HA's leaders called the Imperial Inner Circle.
[edit] An official military
Dogbert created an official military for HA, starting with the standard “Imperial Soldier” rank being changed to “Citizen.” The “Imperial Soldier” rank was now optional.
[edit] Birth of the Separatists
At this time, Count Confusion, a former member of Elite groups, made an announcement in The Classifieds announcing a "Separatist Movement" against all Elite groups. Guardian Hunter saw the ad and quickly alerted TSC who almost immediatley warned the Elite community in general. The Elite community took the threat of The Separatists very seriously. It was gaining members fairly quickly. Some were spies that were one of the few that were accepted into the group; The Separatists were being bombarded with membership requests from members of the Elite community hoping to somehow get in and find out exactly what they were planning. One member of many major Elite groups, MAST3R Y0DA, suggested a “diplomatic resolution” to the war, such as peace talks. Demon slayer 116 agreed. However, the “diplomatic resolution” never occurred at the time. One member of the Elite community reported The Separatists, who were planning on hiring a hacker to do their dirty work, to Achronos, who promptly deleted all but one thread in the group. Everyone who was in The Separatists received a one month ban while Count Confusion received three. Most members in The Separatists left following this event. However, the war was not over yet. Count Confusion warned Demon slayer 116 that it would continue. Soon after The Separatists were ripped apart and deleted by Achronos, their defeat was celebrated in Elite groups such as the Covenant Elite Community, The Sangheili Council (which was remade) and Elites of War. However, Achronos was angry at both the Elite community and the Separatists for their actions. During the one week Separatist battle, over 25 members were lost in some major Elite groups such as CEC and Elites Of War.
[edit] The 2nd Destruction of HA
The same day the Separatists had been destroyed by Achronos, Cyclone, who was leaving bungie.net, decided to mark his departure by destroying HA again. He got Hotshotesquire to give him his account information. Using Hotshotesquire's account, which had booting permissions, he destroyed HA for the second time. The following day he created a placeholder for it. History had repeated itself once more. Dogbert reported this to Achronos, who deleted the placeholder. Soon after, Cyclone made a second placeholder. Dogbert reported this to Achronos once more but was refused help. In order to ever gain HA back the placeholder needed to be destroyed. This alarming chain of events was reported to many Elite groups who were now an ally of HA, and the former leaders of HA discussed plans to retake HA in the Imperial Inner Circle. The Council once again remained unharmed but was severely inactive, as usual.
[edit] Exile
Later, in the Imperial Inner Circle, the leaders did not know what to do to reclaim HA. Hacking was one of the plans, but was eventually given up on. Suddenly, Dogbert had an idea. He remembered how groups were automatically deleted if they were not active within 60 days. His plan was to wait 60 days until the placeholder was automatically deleted (if a group has less than four members throughout 60 days, it is automatically deleted). During this waiting period, one of Dogbert's friends, EnglandOnMyMind, joined the Imperial Inner Circle and was granted the title of Prophet of Happiness. However, problems began to arise when Cyclone used HA's placeholder as an excuse to combat the Separatists. They had three members – only one more was needed to be off of probation, which would ruin Dogbert's plan. However, one member left, and the placeholder had only two members. During this time, the Separatists destroyed an Elite group, Sangheili Masters, and a major Elite group called the Council of Cordanance was conquered by Cyclone, using his alternate account, Sauron. Soon, the placeholder gained 6 members, foiling Dogbert's first plan. In pure desperation, he reported the placeholder to Achronos, who once again refused. Everything was looking bad for HA's future. For over two months, HA had been a conquered group.
[edit] HA's 2nd Return
However, on May 11th Cyclone gave Dogbert HA back, claiming that he wanted to make peace. Since Dogbert did not have his main account due to a computer virus which had forced him to erase a lot of computer data, he used his alternate account, dgbrt14, to retake HA. Cyclone told Dogbert that he wanted to discuss “policies” of this matter with him and also wanted to become a leader. Dogbert refused. When it became apparent that Cyclone was once again trying to trick him, Dogbert blocked him and decided to block all communications whatsoever with him forever. On May 13 Dogbert finally regained his main account. On May 15th, HA was remade at last. In three days, HA gained a lot of its old members (since they were recruited again), and new members joined. It had 24 members.
[edit] A loss and a gain
On May 17 Where u At told Dogbert that he was leaving bungie.net. A Hierarch had been lost. Since Where u At was no longer a Hierarch, somebody had to take his place. Dogbert chose Hotshotesquire, former general, Chancellor, and Prophet of HA. He was now Second in Command.
[edit] Where u At's return
About a week after his departure, Where u At rejoined HA. This caused Hotshotesquire to be demoted to Third in Command. Since Dogbert did not wish to demote neither NightPanda007 or Hotshotesquire to a Minor Prophet he made the new Hierarch limit five.
[edit] The circle complete
On June 3 FlameSama was promoted to a Hierarch. The circle of the Five Hierarchs was complete.
[edit] The War with MBT
During this time, HA was insulting Mjolnir Battle Tactics because of their general leadership. MBT struck back. Their leaders plotted in their Council while members of MBT attempted to get into HA, but Quickstrike NC, one of MBT's Council Members, intervened, preaching peace. His attempt was successful. Soon, HA and MBT both made peace.
[edit] Forming of an empire
Dogbert decided that HA needed to become more powerful. He started to recruit members (at least ten a day), and post in The Classifieds. Spitfire replaced NightPanda007 as Third in Command but was later demoted due to inactivity. In mid-July, him and a new member called Iamthey decided that HA needed to live up to its name. While Dogbert made alliances with large groups, Iamthey started to recruit. Soon, he was made a Council Member. The inactive Council was shortly reformed; made into a meeting place for group founders (or representatives). This was to ensure stronger alliances with the allied groups. Soon, Iamthey was promoted to the Head of the Council, replacing the inactive TheVoiceofReason. Soon HA boasted over 150 members, which grew to over 250.
[edit] 2007
[edit] Breaking of The Chains
But peace did not remain. It was revealed that Dogbert himself was Count Confusion, The Noobinator and MAST3R Y0DA. He was orchestrating the S/E war the entire time. Iamthey owned a group called Central Politics. He and Dogbert co-founded it. Because of this, Dogbert believed that he had the right to Full Control alongside Iamthey. Eventually he made a deal with him – that he would promote him in HA but on the terms of getting FC in CP. Dogbert held up his part of the bargain but Iamthey did not. He thought that Dogbert already had FC. Dogbert obviously did not know this, so he planned to destroy CP. He told Hotshotesquire about this, who in turn told Iamthey upon discovering that Dogbert was planning to destroy his group, LSP (Dogbert thought that Hotshotesquire was seizing too much power with it). In response, Iamthey revealed to the public Dogbert's secret. He posted this in HA shortly before leaving:
I have broken by back here at High Alliance for the past six months. I have taken big risks for dogbert, and for this group. Today I find out that he planned to betray me. For those of you that know I have a group known as central politics, despite Dogbert’s concept that he is some how entitled to it, he is not. I founded it I created the name he did not. All he did is suggest making a political group to challenge Body Politic. However, out of generosity I gave him full control in the group. That is right Dogbert you actually did have full control. I don’t know why you didn’t bother to check. I have no clue what motivated him but he came up with some elaborate plan to use an alternate account called v1ggy (made to look like Viggy) to take over the group, and run it. He had no right to do this. It was my group. Dogbert you crossed the line. And I am sorry but I have no choice. I have sent PM's to every major group leader explaining to them exactly what you have been at for the past six months. And it is time that everyone knows. Dogbert was count confusion, Master yoda, and the noobinator. I have aim convos, files, briefings, and all sorts of things to show. Not to mention he planned to take over the group MBT. He want me to rig an election, so that I could gain GH's trust, and give Dogbert FC. This Dogbert is unacceptable I trusted you, and you turned on me. Nothing will ever fix that. You have broken my cardinal sin. Not to mention what you have done for your own power. I do not want anything to do with you or HA. I encourage all of you not to waste your time here, you will only be burned as I have. Good Bye.
Dogbert originally denied being any of the Sep figures, saying that it was a prank Iamthey took too seriously, but later admitted his guilt. FlameSama left HA, along with the entire staff except brian walker (he was later booted upon Dogbert discovering that he was planning to destroy HA in response to the S/E war conflict). HA was spammed repeatedly by two figures called Pope Mashama and The baron. The spam was cleaned up after a week.
FlameSama reported Dogbert's guilt to Peaceful Prophets, who in return broke away from HA:
All this time....all this time you led me and countless others around with your lies. We all trusted you and respected you, now it turns out that our friend is really our greatest enemy? I lost all respect for you, you lying scumbag, we all promised to work together against the seps, and it turns out you were their leader, you disgust me. I hope High Alliance falls apart with the loss of me, iamthey, and all the others you betrayed, piss off and die you lying prick
WhiffleBallTony demanded a talk with Dogbert, who explained that the Seps were created as a publicity stunt for HA that went too far when the Sep members started destroying groups (something that Dogbert never wanted). He forgave him. So did Iamthey and Hotshotesquire, but Hotshotesquire refused to rejoin HA because he believed that he would get bad public relations.
Meanwhile, FlameSama even went as far as to ally with the Elites of the covenant, an enemy group led by the art of halo2 and CovanatSlayer117 as a means to destroy HA.
In Fire At Will (WhiffleBallTony's group), WhiffleBallTony revealed to the public his opinion:
I am not booting dogbert and no one will be able to sway my opinion. I have spoken with him and I know that he will not harm this group. If he had intended to do so, he would have earlier. He may have been responsible for some spam attacks but that is it. Even I initiated one of them so that people would be active, ok? I faked to be Thunderstruck and lied that the account was a sep. You guys need to learn to understand. This may be hard to get past, but as long as we forgive and forget, everything will be fine. I am 95% positive that dogbert does not wish to do any more harm. However, if he does, then it will be the last straw. Dogbert, I forgive you even though it doesn't seem like anyone else does. Now, good night everyone.
CovanatSlayer was outraged. This was also was the last straw for FlameSama, who left FAW. However, Matthew_Kaine forgave Dogbert. FlameSama, who mocked Dogbert, telling him that he would never regain his staff, was not heard from for a fairly long time. However, it was not enough for the EOTC, who threatened both Dogbert and HA itself. Insults flew back and forth for a long time. Then Dogbert explained himself in a detailed manner:
Yes, I did conduct the S/E war. But not in the way that you think. The Seps were created to scare the Community. The plan was that my group, High Alliance, would destroy them and gain publicity, obviously causing member growth. The whole thing about the Seps being against Elites was a scandal – I needed a reason for them to exist. However, my members went too far and started to actually attack Elite groups. Yes, I did encourage them, but I needed to appear to be on their side. Many of my members went as far to attacking groups I forbade them to attack, such as The Unified Core. It was not in the plan for the Seps to do anything like that. I gave several sublimal clues (I counted more than 50) to my secret throughout the course of the war. I'm still surprised that my secret wasn't discovered earlier. The most obvious clue was me relating myself to Palpatine from Star Wars – the person who orchestrated a war with the Separatists, had Count Dooku as a helper, and had a well-known reputation. I thought MAST3R Y0DA was going too far with the clues, but apparently not. I no longer have a personality resembling Palpatine (thank god) but me and one other person who knew from the beginning laughed our asses off at the sheer ignorance of the Community. Master Yodel became a problem. He wanted to establish himself as a known conqueror, which he ultimatley did. I eventually kicked him out of the Seps for being a dumbass. I never wanted any actual groups to be harmed. The only groups I myself attacked were branches of my own group, like Conservative Party Union and The Tattered Volume. Besides, they already suffered from inactivity. Some people were kind enough to forgive me. I don't know why they did because if I were them there would be no forgiveness. I appreciated that. Some others made a big scene out of it and tried to use it against me. They failed and one of them, one of my former staff members, is not to be seen anywhere. I am not asking for your forgiveness, because I do not deserve any, but I just want these skeletons out of my closet. I apologize for causing these horrible chain of events, but some of you really need to get a life and stop worrying about your groups. I'm done gaining publicity for my group because now I have a real life.
[edit] Name change
Dogbert changed the name from High Alliance to The Human Alliance. The ranks were also changed. During this time Hotshotesquire rejoined HA.
[edit] Loss of a leader
Dogbert was still trying to convince Iamthey to boot FlameSama from his group, Imperial Center but Iamthey, believing FlameSama to be a useful political object to use to his advantage, refused. Dogbert told FlameSama Iamthey's true reason for not booting him. When FlameSama did not believe him, he posted a part of an AIM conversation he had with Iamthey in which Iamthey told him his reasons for making FlameSama stay. Iamthey, infuriated at what he saw as another betrayal, banned Dogbert from IC and put him on trial for treason. Dogbert explained to Iamthey that though he knew what he was doing was risky, it was for the greater good. Iamthey accepted this but told Dogbert that he could not trust him anymore. The two agreed not to talk for several months until "the dust cleared." Iamthey dropped the treason charge but still charged him with misusing his moderator powers against FlameSama. Dogbert lost his rank as punishment and once again had his loyalties compromised. Iamthey and Dogbert eventually started talking again but Iamthey did not rejoin HA.
[edit] Inactivity
Despite its high amount of members, HA fell into severe inactivity, the most active member being Splitze. FlameSama was confident that this time HA had truly fallen and would "never rise again."
[edit] Rebirth
After several months of inactivity, Iamthey and WhiffleBallTony wanted HA to rise again. Iamthey rejoined and recruited new members while Dogbert and WhiffleBallTony deleted all of the old threads. To Iamthey's suggestion, the ranks were changed to better suit the old HA's style, though Dogbert kept a few of the human-themed ranks. Another suggestion of Iamthey was to boot all but 120 members (to make the new members try to help recruit). In a week HA had over 180 members and was beginning to get slightly more active. Months later, HA had over 270 members.
[edit] 2008
[edit] New leader
On April 30, 2008, TOM T 117 was promoted to an Imperial Hierarch. At the same time, Matthew_Kaine was demoted due to inactivity.
[edit] New motto
On June 23, 2008 Dogbert changed the motto from "We never close" to "Meet HA justice."
[edit] Ranks
The ranks are as follows. Each of them are in order from lowest to highest.
- Normal ranks:
Heretic - one who has left HA.
Citizen - a standard member.
Monitor - a standard moderator.
Sergeant - a monitor with a higher authority status.
Lieutenant - in charge of the moderators.
Captain - a lieutenant with a higher authority status.
Imperial Hierarch - the main leaders.
Supreme General - Dogbert's personal rank.
- Special ranks:
Soldier - used for infiltrating enemy groups. This rank is almost never used.
Council Member - self-explanatory.
Imperial Honor Guard - used for protecting HA.
Hunter - used for tracking down enemies of HA and basically making their life hell.
[edit] Branches of HA
The Council of HA - discusses general group issues and sometimes votes on a decision. It also discusses the general safety of the group.
Imperial Inner Circle - a meeting place for HA's main leaders. This branch has not been used in a very long time.
[edit] Former leaders
- Prophet of Hate was HA's first leader (besides Dogbert). He became inactive after the TSC war. After HA's First Destruction he did not rejoin due to inactivity.
- NightPanda007 was HA's most active leader. He helped HA during the TSC War but was later demoted due to inactivity.
- FlameSama1 was an active leader of HA known for his fiery (pun intended) attitude. He disobeyed some rules in HA (such as "no flaming" and "blacklist for a reason"). Dogbert constantly had to keep him under control and was even considering demoting him down to a standard Prophet. FlameSama left HA during the Breaking of The Chains and openly opposed both Dogbert and HA, even setting up an alliance with the Elites of the Covenant to rally people against him. He claimed that Dogbert would never get his staff back but was proven wrong. He posted on Iamthey's website for some time, which ended when Dogbert joined it and began posting as well. He has now receded to the group Peaceful Prophets and rarely leaves that group. Dogbert has stated that the only reason FlameSama will never be allowed back into HA, nor be forgiven, is because "he hates humanity."
- Brian Walker was discovered to be plotting to destroy HA after the Breaking of The Chains and was promptly booted by Dogbert. After several months Dogbert decided to forgive BW and he was allowed access back into HA. However, he was not granted his leadership back. He was permabanned in June 2008 for insulting Dogbert.
- Matthew_Kaine was a leader that was completely inactive. He was demoted at the same time TOM T 117 was promoted.
[edit] In fiction
In the fictional Bungie continuum, HA is portayed as being founded by Dogbert. It starts out as a "democratic empire" but eventually transitions into a democracy. It is also the largest planet in the continuum. It's capital city is High Alliance (which was the old name for HA), which is portayed as a combination between Miami, Florida and Los Angeles, California.
[edit] Trivia
- Y0urd3ad once made an alternate account called "Low Alliance" to mock HA.
- HA was once known as having the most stickied threads for a group.
- April 28, HA's founding date, is Saddam Hussein's birthday. This is entirely coincidental.
