The VPC - 2007/2008

In 2007/2008, the VPC was very active, and that activity spiked when the Return of Doctor Sloth Plot came at the beginning of 2008. This year would see the rise of two guild in particular. They are the Resq Rangers Hq and the Dark Corporation. In the early months of 2007, when Egonboy was still active. He had the previous year fractured the alliance between Omega and Francis. This left him significantly more powerful, considering he and his friends were the original VPCers. He would leave later on in 2007 and Trauwyn would take over from him.

The Beginning of 2007
TBA

Confederacy of the Separation from Neopia
The Confederacy of the Separation from Neopia was a relatively new guild formed by Evilgeneralgrevious and had relatively close ties to another guild the Empire of Eternal Darkness. The CSN and EED would both band together in their opposition to another fledgeling guild, the Resq Rangers. This mostly happened on single board on the VPC that spanned more than a dozen pages.

The Resq Rangers HQ - The Underdog
In the latter half of 2007, a new user by the name Magnafire19 created the Resq Rangers HQ without really knowing what he was doing since he himself was a newb and had only just joined Neopets prior to the Return of Doctor Sloth. The Resq Rangers came after his first attempt at making a guild. It also led to him forging a close friendship with neousers Sorakey and Phear. Both would become his council as the guild took shape. Being both a newbie to the VPC and lacking experience at leading anything, Magnafire tread carefully but this would do little to stop his involvement in the guild's first real war with the Confederacy of the Separation from Neopia and Empire of Eternal Darkness. Since neither side really budged, it took a far more powerful guild to bring ruin to the CSN. The Neopian Fiery Guardians, a powerhouse of a guild led by Jamesuk led an offensive that saw the CSN fall apart from within. James would later approach Magnafire with an offer for him and his guildmates to join the NFG. However, after much deliberation, Magnafire declined the offer and resolved to try and strengthen his guild against all threats. Much to his own disappointment, there was little he could do as the Return of Doctor Sloth rolled around. For out of the ashes of the CSN rose the Dark Corporation. Another concern for Magnafire was the United Sloth Sloth Loyalists. Though before any escalation could occur, a new member of the Resq Rangers and later its negotiator/advisor Flamechampion would come to an agreement due to his connections with USL member, Wiz. It's through these connections that led to Wiz joining the HQ.

The Dark Corporation and the Web of Deception Unravels
Boosted by the plot, The Dark Corp led by Aaalllzzz (Alz) would become a significant power on the VPC, easily esclipsing the CSN and the Resq Rangers in a very short space of time. In order to combat the growth and reach of the Dark Corp. The Resq Rangers employed its spy Wiz to try and breach the guild and bring it down. In order to gain the trust of the Dark Corp, Wiz orchestrated a similar alliance to the one that Resq had established with two other guilds. Where theirs was the Heroic Delian Legion. The one created by Wiz would be called the United Minion Alliance. Despite the CSN's demise, the Liz, Empire of Eternal Darkness and Fight Club were a part of this Alliance however, they all would later falter. Even so, Wiz's attempt to destroy the Dark Corp came undone as a member of the Dark Corp exposed him forcing him to make an early exit that did little to nothing to stop the insurgent Dark Corp. Its rise would lead to the Resq Rangers Hqs first defeat, and the beginning of the end for the HDL.

In the end, the RoDS plot was a key factor to the Dark Corps' rise. The United Sloth Loyalists did not directly intervene in this conflict. Partly due to a friendship that existed between HQ member Flame, and Wiz.
