The Revolution of 17/12/21

The Event
It was an event which happened in the server Ashes of Libertad, a discord server dedicated to a Hearts of Iron 4 mod in which a mod focused on Latin America was developed by an small group of developers. The server was place of multiple conflicts thanks to the incompetent staff team and the more incompetent owner, the community in other hand became every day bigger, stronger and hard to contain. In December 17th of the year 2021 the owner known by his nickname as Overlord left the server at its own luck, not so many time after the other devs and staff members did the same, letting the community to do whatever they wanted from massive spam, saying the N-word, getting in conflicts with other servers and other similar events, during this time the development of Ashes of Libertad Mod stopped completely and many were losing the hopes, even then, an small group of community members managed to get their hands into the messy code of the mod and fixed it, launching the demo of Ashes of Libertad in December 25th. This event made known that the community was able to self-sustain itself and even develop the mod without the pressence of Overlord or its staff.



In December 26th Overlord returned and started a purge across the server, in which he kicked many people from the community which was creating a new staff. And after that, he decided to move the development of the mod to a private server, leaving the original server as the "Community's Server" or how some called it; "The Dumpster".

After this event many people of the community became more separated from the AoL Mod and tried to collaborate in other projects, some even left everything behind just to focus in their real lives instead of the drama of a crossdresser brazilian who larps as italian (Overlord).

People related to the Event
Overlord, El Presidente

Overlord was the owner of the server, also the lead dev of the mod. But a complete narcissistic and hedonist ruler, it is known he created the mod originally because a girl rejected to be his girlfriend in real life, that made him decide to create a mod so he could meet new people. But with time what started as a route of passion and friendship turned him into a very egocentric asshole who only cared for himself and his project and nothing else. There are rumours (with multiple proofs) of him doing crossdressing in multiple occasions, the rumour got so popular that many started to call his crossdressed alter-ego "Overlady", some even used that to mock him and still use it in a humoristic way.

Luisito Comunista, El No-Presidente

Luisito was an staff member, the most active one and the only one who cared both for the mod and the community, when Overlord left the server on its own luck, Luisito tried to keep everything under control the best he could. He was very popular and loved by the community and many in the staff, to the point of people trying to make him the new Presidente (owner role) of the server, sadly, Luisito was always completely loyal to Overlord and even when he left everything and everyone behind, he was always hoping for his return and rejected to be the new leader just to wait the return of Overlord. In real life he's from Honduras and is known for being a landowner, owning big farms in the territory known as Olancho where lives matter nothing and people enter narrow and exit widht.

Lucas Coronel Ríos,The Warlord of Chaco

Lucas Coronel Ríos, also known as "Luc" was a very famous community member, famous by his extravagant actitude, being the only active argentinean in the entire server and also famous for making the community stronger with time, and even creating uprisings and revolts against Overlord and his staff which he claimed to be "full of esoteric neo nazi furry femboys". He was leader of a guerrilla known as "Frente Sarmientista" (Sarmientist Front) and to spread the ideology of posadism across the server, making a lot of people join his cause and even gaining the favour of Luisito and some important staff members. He was known for being the warlord of a land known as El Chaco, where his guerrilla operated hidden in the deepest of the jungles and swamps, preparing themselves for the "Revolución Eterna" (Eternal Revolution). When the event happened he and Luisito basically became close to be the new owners of the server since both had a very strong influence over the community, curiously, bot Luisito and Luc held a very strong friendship and they still do until today.

Caio79, Chairman of the Caioist Party

Caio79 was one of the most older members in the server, and a very respeted community member, like Luc and Luisito, he influenced the community a lot, mostly the massive brazilian sector of the Ashes of Libertad community which always was growing and with the pressence of Caio this made them stronger, a lot of people joined Caio's political party known as "Partido Caoista" (Caioist Party), in which he spread the ideology known as "Caioism" across the server, different from Luc, his political party was far more fructiferous than Luc's guerrilla. During the event he became the leader of the land known as Santa Catarina and supported a reform to start democratic elections in the server, he also supported the creation of the new staff in replace of the old one but with the addition of a more democratic system in which the community could vote for the new Presidente (owner) of the server. He was aware that, if his plan worked, then he would win immediately since he was supported by the biggest group in the whole server. He also was leader of a secret group known as "Monkeyzada", the Monkeyzada seems to be a secret society or a cult in which only the closest friends of Caio and the high ranks of his party could join. Monkeyzada activities are mysterious and by that secrecy people started to do theories such as that the Monkeyzada is controlling everything from behind, or that they're allied or owners of other conspiracy groups such as the Illuminati or the Elders of Zion.

Stella, the Warlady of the West

Stella or Nura was another influential figure among the community members, she became a Warlady instantly thanks to her charisma and beauty, she hold power in the lands of Mato Grosso do Sul, in which she tried to keep her loved ones away from the conflicts of the other users of the server, she also became some sort of "mediator" to stop fights and solve problems among users. She was also known for being the crush of Overlord's closest friend in the time, Guizoka, who tried to flirt her and even marry her, it is unknown if both decided to have a relationship or Stella just ignored Guizoka.

Hacienda Pro-Tonia
In some moment, the user known as Tony Pro, loved among the community and member of the staff as an honor guest and propaganda minister of Overlord went determinated in having his own Independent State inside Ashes of Libertad. Said State was the "Republic of ProTonia", the capital would be the house of Tony and the territory basically all the land he owned. Things were going good at first with Tony writting a constitution for this new nation, but then they got invaded first by Cannibal Tribals from the jungle, then by an entire militia from Chaco which were lead by Luc himself to "liberate the people of ProTonia", and then by Luisito and his loyal army of olanchanos. Luisito would be the one who finally put an end to everything, killing Tony's peasants and burning down everything to ashes, after this event Luisito would say as a notice; "My heart wants an Hacienda, but my brain wants Overlord back.", Tony Pro would become inactive after this event.



Guizoka's Coup
In one occasion, Overlord's closest friend, Guizoka, tried to take the power of the server by making a coup with an small group of loyalists, this coup had the intention of destroying Overlord's image and demoralize the remnants of his regime to then attack them with everything and take the power by brutal force. Sadly, this attempt failed at the moment of attacking the remnants because more than demoralize, some went full berserk and others became even more loyal to Overlord since what Guizoka used to demoralize them were photos of Overlord dressed as a goth girl. After this event Guizoka abandoned everything related to AoL for a time and focused on making his life better, going to gym and keeping a healthy life style.

The Cristo Redentor Incident
Near the return of Overlord, the Frente Sarmientista and the Community Veterans decided to do a massive attack against one of Overlord's most prized possesions, which was his presidential zeppelin, still opperating even after his disappearance, used as a way to keep control over certain zones by the remnants of Overlord's regime. Luc decided then that it was time to put an end to the watchers from the sky by shooting at them with massive death ray cannons made with weird posadist technology and operated by both, Sarmientista soldiers and Community Veterans who were tired of being watched by Overlord's remnants. Must be said, it was hard to install the massive death ray cannons but even harder to aim and shoot at the zeppelin. The zeppelin got completely destroyed by a rain that blowed it up and burned down everything and killing thousands of innocents in the way, also, the energy of the cannons was too much to handle to the point that they blowed up too destroying the iconic statue of the Ashes of Libertad server and one of Overlord's most loved structures in all the server, this was considered "another victory for Posadism" according to Luc.

The Post-Anarchy
After the return of Overlord, the purge and the launch of the Ashes of Libertad demo by the community itself, the server slowly started to die by inactivity, this thanks to Overlord purging the most active users, others just decided to leave to focus on their own lives. Many still roam the now "Community's Server" while Overlord operates from his own private server full of femboys but is not the same as before, even tho, Overlord is not an strong leader anymore, the true leaders can be said to be Luisito nowadays but Caio still holds a lot of influence and power. Luc became the less popular after losing many battles and getting his guerrilla disolved, he ended as a mere farmer in a far away place in the Patagonia.

Luc’s Coup in Rawson
Luc’s time as a farmer was quite short, as he soon got bored and started rallying peasants from the Patagonia and hired mercenaries, hiring former Soviet officers to train his soldiers, this motley group of farmers, Mapuche tribesmen, mercenaries, and some ex-soviet soldiers marched on the Argentinian city of Rawson deep in Patagonia, where they threw napalm at key government buildings and defeated a small detachment of soldiers sent to stop them, Luc then proclaimed the People’s Democratic Republic of “Lucsembourg” then claimed the whole Patagonia, and set about collectivizing society.

Argentinian response
The Argentinian government was troubled by this new republic in Rawson, and sent a big force of riot police and soldiers to Rawson to stop Luc. This force faced guerilla fighters that inflicted many losses and weakened the force, however, it was still formidable when it reached Lucsembourg’s Capital of Rawson. Brutal urban combat ensued, but gradually, the Argentinian forces creeped closer to the “people’s building” where Luc was. On the Main Street, marching to the Building, the Argentinian force encountered a massive force, mostly made of civilians and farmers pressed into service by Luc. These forces mounted a desperate charge, most seemed with pipes and wrenches, gunned down as the Argentinian army fired into Luc’s soldiers. after countless lives lost, the Lucsembourgish forces reached the Argentinian line, and many Riot police lost their nerve and began to withdraw, what was a withdrawal turned into a chaotic rout, as Rawson’s dwellers set upon the fleeing troops, capturing a tank. Luc’s, troops then launched a series of offensives driving the Argentinians out of the area near Rawson, however, the mass charge in the Defense of Rawson left 95% of Rawson’s entire civilian population dead, and the subsequent offensives killed the rest, Rawson is now nearly a ghost town, silent and empty, yet Luc survives and his guerrilla forces are a pain for the Argentinian government.
