Didactic Fractals

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Didactic Fractals is a room on Kongregate. It is arguably the best room in the whole website. It consists of Didactic Fractals, a good example being Marh, the old owner of the room. The new owner of the room is iWatchAnime. Each Didactic Fractal, known as 'Fractals', room owner also has their own lucky charm in which they can access all of the secrets of Kongregate. We earned 4th place in a forum vote, but I think they just counted wrong, because we're clearly the best.



= Moderators = The owners of the banhammer.

Marh
The previous owner (gave Didactic Fractals to iWatchAnime) and creator of Didactic Fractals. Before Marh, the regulars of Didactic Fractals were unborn, or wandering in the barren wasteland that was Kongregate before the Didactic Fractals saved it from impending doom.

Marh is known to flirt with people, be really cranky, and be more down-to-earth than a mod should be. He also picks favorites and likez Pokemanz. Also, his personality will often change.

Nicknamed: Sir Marhalot

Gender: Chocolate

aenh
The painfully quiet co. moderator, who created the name 'Didactic Fractals'. Is much more intelligent and behaved than probably any other user in Didactic Fractals, or even on Kongregate.

A mod before Marh, and the person that introduced him to Kongregate. They are well known to be great friends in real life.

Nicknamed: hraM

iWatchAnime
Most recent mod of Didactic Fractals. He used to be pretty quiet, but now he's more talkative. Doesn't actually watch anime anymore, but reads way too much manga. Received ownership of Didactic Fractals from Marh, the reason still unknown.

Nicknamed: iWatchy



Notable Visitor Moderators
Active visitors include:

elGrifo
(Normal room: Scribbles)

The most active Didactic Fractal visitor, and is probably almost as active as aenh. He likes nomz and is well known to have pissed off a couple of users due to him having been strict one day.

Gender: Male

The ultimate gamer who shines his light upon our room every once and a while.

The Golden Age of Didactic Fractals
While specific dates are not known, this started somewhere between 2008-2009 and continued on untill the Fall(see below). Marh, iWatchAnime, Scorpz, ShadowOps, and others had left the room, appearing once or twice if at all. So, a group of users became the original roleplayers in the Great Roleplay, including Kittyfox, RoflzMaWafflz, Vozw, ctg9000, glaedir, Purpleraven, and Masterifle, which started the Golden Age. Shortly after its beginning, other notable roleplayers joined, including Surge, Siraidan, Siromaster, LessThanThree, masuki, and others. The Golden Age continued in its glory, with many of the users bonding with each other during its course, untill the end of the summer of 2009.

The Fall of Didactic Fractals
While many of the original roleplayers left the RP or came on it rarely for a variety of reasons, there was actually no "fall". The information posted here earlier was derived from inaccurate sources and isolated incidents. The Great Roleplay is still alive and is being supported by the remaining original roleplayers and new ones alike.

Trolls and Spammers
If you feel you need to troll, don't. If you feel you need to spam, don't. If you feel you need to be annoying and disruptive, don't. Marh usually follows the 'three silence' rule, and aenh is generally a bit more laid back, very quiet, and/or AFK. If no mods are around, modfriend will be called.

Modfriend
Use it.

= Didactic Fractals =

Being the official religions of Kongregate, Didactic Fractalism's home room is Didactic Fractals (believe it or not).

About
Didactic Fractalism is a religion created by aenh and Marh. Didactic Fractalism. Followers hail YALORT (Corresponding to the element of Earth and the tempremant Phlegmatic), Lumia (commonly called Bast) (Corresponding to the element of Air and the tempremant Sanguine), Cthulhu (Corresponding to the element of Water and the tempremant Melancholic), and lastly Fullmage (Corresponding to the element of fire and the tempremant Choleric).



System of Level
New followers are neophytes. Old(er) members are ostiaries. Somewhat-established and possibly OLDER members can be ranked up to acolytes. High-established senior members are priests. VERY senior member or very, very well-established mature members are High Priests. There only four high priests, one for each god. To level up you must refer users, hail gallantly, and just... be senior members.

Additional Information
Go to Marh or aenh's page for additional info about Didactic Fracticalism.

= Alliances =

Didactic Fractals is known to form alliances with other rooms. Here is the list of 'allianced rooms':

Scribbles, Feed the Ducks, The Lair, Paradise, and Lunatic Pandora.

Rooms We Are On Bad Terms With
The Red Bucket, we were waging war against them. Due to the fact that there hasn't been any official activity on this war in months, or possibly a year, this war has been considered over by most.

= Rumors/Gossip =

Throughout Didactic Fractals' history there have been many rumors/ongoing jokes. Some about aenh and marh being the same person, or hellfang50 being nominated (both were derailed). Explanations for MindlessGirl's leave is yet to be explained, though it is speculated she had life matters to settle, or the trolls that were around at that time chased her off. Moogle21376's gender is also occasionally questioned. According to slasherx, Marh is Jim Greer in disguise.. So, apparently, Marh is hraM, aenh, and Jim Greer; what a guy. Though aenh isn't hraM. Another rumor is that we're waging war against Prinny Land (some claim to say it actually happened). :o

Chatroom drink: Didactic Fractal Special
Sprinkle bottom of SHOT GLASS with chili powder, and splash in 90% alcohol rum (if not available, use Bacardi black rum).

Pour in Ale, and then pour in stout, do NOT let the drinks mix!

The end result should look like a Black and Tan, with a little surprise at the end. Enjoy! ;)

All credit to ScaryRaver.

Non-alcoholic chatroom drink: YALORT Worship Brew
Get a MUG from your local kitchen cupboard. Pour in about 1 part ROOT BEER (use birch beer if desired). Fill the rest of the MUG with WATER and add one scoop Folgers COFFEE MIX. Microwave for 30 seconds. Drink, and don't wait for it to cool. :D

= The War Against The Buckets =

A war against the room The Red Bucket is currently being waged. People are being recruited at this time, as the news is still being spread. Warnings of this have whispered through the currents of the regulars (zomg poetry).

The Battle of Tea
The first unofficial 'attack' was on December 30th, 2008 by the users LawlExuberance, GielinorJay, and LOLcrayons. It was a failed attempt because we were much too friendly and ended up having a pleasant conversation. Apparently GielinorJay even stayed there with another user, Techline, for a while, showing how bad all of us Fractalians suck at war.

The New Years Battle
The second battle took place January 1st. Marh, LawlExuberance, and GielinorJay went into battle with The Red Bucket. The battle lasted a long time and there were many casualties on both sides. Reinforcements came when elGrifo, aenh, Moogle, and ctg9000 came to aid. The battle then reversed, as the regulars came to attack Didactic Fractals, and very brutally. This eventually led to their retreat and our win.

The Battle of Confusion
On January 2nd Marh, LawlExuberance, kirby_dude, FireflyWarrior and aenh charged into the Red Bucket for battle. After some fighting, a truce was discussed between the rooms but no terms were followed. Didactic Fractals retreated and no room officially 'won'.

The Nihilistic Showdown
Nobody is sure when this battle started. Nobody was involved in a climactic duel of destiny. It is argued that because there are no people to stop fighting, and no place to retreat from, the battle is still going. Others argue that in doesn't exist and never started, but that's just silly. Nothing is known of the events of this battle, if there were any.

= The War Against Prinny Land =

We waged war on Prinny Land because their chat is supposedly 'atrocious'. Some claim to say they talk loads but make no sense (Eg: Lawl Yea Lawl sup Lolzorz!!). sellyme, iWatchAnime, aenh, soulreaper791, soulman95, and slasherx launched the first attack and came back with victory. Then, PL launched a troll at us, which we promptly muted. sellyme, iWatchAnime, slasherx, soulreaper791, and aenh attacked again, and once again came back with victory. iWatchAnime and MonochromeMolly have since then made a few sneaky sabotages.

This is according to sellyme, edited by LawlExuberance.

= Other Developments = Although it's other stuff, it's still related to the lovely-awesome-perfect-amazing-hawt-particularly-wonderful-DF.

DF Blog
So far the Didactic Fractals blog has failed terribly, and will probably stay that way until one of the regulars gets really motivated (and most of the regulars are monstrously lazy).

Apparently, the blog's been semi-resurrected. The contributors are Marh, slasherx, sellyme, and soulman95. I think. :D

It's dead again.. Ohnoes! D:

Other Other Developments
It's March now, still not done. Just proving once again how lazy we are.
 * The official Didactic Fractalian map is still in process, and will hopefully be finished by February.

Okay, it's April. This is just showing how we're all lazy bums in the Fractals.

We're seriously lazy. It's May now, and it's still being worked on (It is, right? D:).

June...

Ah, here we are! July! ... I don't think it's being worked on.

August...

Aaaand, it's September!

It's November now, somebody's face is going to be ripped off if it doesn't get done soon.

Faces have been ripped off. It's December. D;

Holy carp, it's been a year. Happy 2010 and whatnot, "new decade wooo \o/" and all that. Shall hopefully be finished by this February. ... Make it my (Lawly's) birthday gift?

Right, so, I think it would be safe to say it's definitely not being worked on as it's been a year.
