Events

Major happenings

Irondude's absence as a child care worker

Irondude took a brief hiatus from the clan during 06-07 to work as a child care worker in North Carolina. During his absence, not much went on and a lot of members took this as a sign that SonicDoom was falling. However, he returned in early '07.

Ness' identity

A great deal of confusion exists as to whether or not Ness is actually a real member of the clan or if he is a fake entity or gimmick account created by Irondude in order to gain publicity. The theory that he is not actually a real person hit its peak when a small group of SonicDoom members cornered Irondude into admitting that Ness was not real. However, this was just a practical joke played by Irondude and Ness.

Black Moor

Black Moor is the name of the band that darkspir and Alastor are a part of, and because of their relentless touring schedules, could not participate in SonicDoom activites on a regular basis. Due to the extreme intake of alcohol, Irondude even considered removing them from SonicDoom temporarily. However, after their final show in Pennsylvania, Alastor turned to God and no longer drinks as often as he did.

The Borat craze

Following the release of Borat in 2006, many clan members were compelled to make constant jokes involving the character. Perhaps the most infamous quote was "My name-a Borat!", which was often said by darkspir and Ness. Eventually, this led to clan member Grum becoming angry at this quote being said constantly, which only added fuel to the flames. The Borat craze has since died down, but occasionally it will be brought back much to the discontent of Grum.

Jason's pizza prank

Jason is the name of Alastor's older brother who works as a police officer. He is well known in the clan for several quotes, such as "Everything off" and "Don't flush". In August 2007, Jason acquired the address of clan member conceptxo and executed a classic prank: ordering a pizza to someone else's address. conceptxo received the pizza and even paid for it, later stating that "his pizza came from the internet". Ever since Jason's prank, several other pizza pranks have been performed, much to the dismay of conceptxo. Because of these pranks, conceptxo is not seen as often.

Alastor Juice and the Demise of Conceptxo

In an attempt to fundraise for the clan, Alastor came up with the idea to sell his own homemade juice on the Internet. The juice had a very good taste to it - it was a mix of grape juice, blue kool-aid, acne solution creme and a very very small amount of whiskey. Free juice packs were sent to the clan members, however due to the whiskey content, conceptxo's parents disallowed him from being included in the clan from that point on. However, Conceptxo did not want to listen to his parents and he wanted to assist Alastor in selling his Alastor Juice. Conceptxo offered to help Alastor pitch his juice to a record label in order to see if they could sell it to thirsty musicians and vocalists whilst recording. However, Alastor had not taken into account the additional weight his juice stand would need to support, and while Alastor wasn't even on it, conceptxo's colossal weight forced the stand to collapse and get Alastor Juice all over the place. Conceptxo ended up with disgusting, rancid cheese pizza sauce all over his red communist shirt. The record label spokesperson condemned Conceptxo for bringing rotten cheesy pizza and supporting communism, and while he respected Alastor and knew it wasn't his fault that Conceptxo ruined his sales pitch, Alastor Juice did not end up selling and was a complete and utter failure. From that point on, Conceptxo was no longer a part of SonicDoom.

A Leader Steps Down.. A New Hero Arises (ソニック)

In May 2008, Irondude realized he would not be able to use his ethernet cord for much longer. He informed the clan that it would give out soon and he would no longer be able to run the clan until he found a new one. This was a very sad moment for the clan.. until a new leader rose up and took hold of the clan until Irondude's return. Sonic Sue, an experienced Sonic scener, offered to take control of the clan temporarily. The opinion was unanimous: Sonic Sue is the new leader of SonicDoom! Irondude gave full consent to this, and SonicDoom is stronger than ever. Sonic Sue will have an important role in the decisions the clan makes from this point on, even after Irondude returns. Sonic Sue is respected by all and will always be dear to our hearts for saving the clan and bringing us from utter despair and hopelessness into a joyous, graceful celebration that has now been declared "SonicDoomsDay", celebrated the last week of May every year. For more information on how you can celebrate SonicDoomsDay, contact Grum, the head of the clan's PR department.

Miles anger outbursts

Miles' Molten Core attempt

Back in The Glorious Days of SkypeDoom, Miles Nightfire was an avid World of Warcraft player. Back when the level cap was sixty, Miles attempted to raid Molten Core with his guild in an attempt to impress his (at the time) internet girlfriend Becky. However, the raid was a complete failure as Miles messed up a pull and ended up completely wiping the entire raid. While this was happening, he was in a Skype conference call with Darkspir, Ness and Alastor. The Trifecta were then surprised to hear inhuman screaming coming from Miles' microphone. Eventually he had to be removed from the call because he was generating too much noise. When brought back in, he was not only angry at his incompetence and inability to play World of Warcraft properly but also at The Trifecta for removing him from the Skype Conference so they could not hear him release his rage. Miles blames this on his Huntington's Disease, as well as his Aspergian descent.

Ganked! At The Outland

At the release of Burning Crusade, Miles played nonstop and reached level seventy, the level cap, in a matter of days. However, when he was at level sixty-nine, he was doing a quest that was going to make him level up and reach level seventy, accomplishing his most important life goal at the time and attempting to wow and impress The Trifecta. However, while he was doing the quest, he was ganked, or killed, by multiple Alliance toons, as Miles was playing on Horde. After Miles died, he let out a deathly scream: "NOOOO-HOOO-HOO-HOOOO~!!!" This amused The Trifecta a great deal.

Grrr! Don't call me that!

On September 13, 2007, Grum decided to start calling Miles 'Mile', and convinced the rest of SonicDoom to join in on his little prank. It seemed like Miles didn't notice at first, until eventually he tried to laugh it off, asking, "Why do you guys call me that?" The prank went on and on until one day, he snapped. Grum politely asked 'Mile' if he knew what time it was and 'Mile' yelled back, "GRRR! DON'T CALL ME THAT NAME! I DON'T KNOW WHAT FRIGGIN TIME IT IS!" Miles then tried to exact revenge upon Grum by calling him 'Gru', although this didn't work because Miles is terribly unfunny.

Sticky Keyboard = Sticky Situation

During a World of Warcraft "raid" Miles spilt an entire two-liter bottle of Diet Mountain Dew: Code Red on his keyboard causing him to shout out in great anguish. Sonic Doom team member Ness then decided constructively critique Miles' video game playing style. This comment caused Miles to fly into a furious rage. Due to this incident, Irondude was forced to temporarily remove Miles' private messaging privileges on the SonicDoom Forum.

Trifecta? More like Gayfecta

In July 2008, Miles forged a conversation between the Trifecta to try to get them kicked out of the clan by Irondude because they were making fun of his Huntington's disease:

DARKSPIR: hello in the u.k.
ALASTOR: DARKSPIR i need to send you this song over aim its called SIGH - HANGMANS HYMN
DARKSPIR: im not listening to your gay music
NESS: Oh, look! The nerds showed up!
ALASTOR: jason shut up
DARKSPIR: im so bored
NESS: hahaha
DARKSPIR: why does irondude have to be so gay all of a sudden
ALASTOR: what
DARKSPIR: irondude called ness retarded because he played as the hostage model in garrys mod
NESS: I am a Faggot Nigger Jew. Discuss!
DARKSPIR: brb
ALASTOR: i hate irondude
NESS: Irondude is a Faggot. XD

Irondude immediately knew this was a forged conversation because no one uses capital letters when typing out a song name. Miles was given a Yellow Card warning and has not forged a conversation since.

Clan inner workings

Hierarchy

Currently, the clan's leader is Sonic Sue - Irondude is temporarily unavailable to access the internet. The Trifecta act as a council for voting and decision making. The Clan Leader has the ability to remove people from the clan and also to confirm membership. They schedule clan events and generally do a lot for the Clan in general. The Trifecta vote on things like adding new members, removing people, what new games to play and when to play them, as well as clan-related pranks and hijinks. Everyone else in the clan is simply referred to as a clan member - generally everyone is pretty equal and there is not much drama. The Clan Leader and Clan Council are referred to as The Clan Council.

Warning system

SonicDoom uses a Yellow Card, Red Card and Prismatic Card warning system. Someone can receive up to three yellow cards before they automatically receive a red card. A yellow card is simply a warning with no consequences - just to let them know what they did is not acceptable. A red card acts as a temporary ban. If someone receives three red cards, they get a Prismatic Card - otherwise known as a permaban.

Scheduling game events

Professional gaming is taken very seriously in SonicDoom and casual gaming is generally not tolerated in clan matches. When the Clan Council decide when to play new games, they see who is available to play and when they are available. If no one is available, typically the game is no longer played until the clan as a whole decides they really need to start playing it. If someone confirms they will show up for a scheduled game match and they do not show up without a legitimate excuse, they are given a Yellow Card. This happens if they quit the match midway without a reason as well. Sabotaging scheduled clan gaming events in favor of the other team, or acting as a spy for a rival clan results in an IMMEDIATE prismatic card.
