2nd Postman Pat Incident

The 2nd Postman Pat Incident, unlike the previous one, took place over several days. The event is notable for the exile of prominent GS member Pat as well as it's contribution to the downfall of GS6. The incident was heavily linked to the Vadim-Graham controversy.

Backstory
The events that eventually led to this incident began with the ban of the word "cope", which was believed to be inflammatory, after a server wide poll where most voted for the banning of the word.

Many opponents argued that this was an unfair and unnecessary ban considering that flaming was already banned. Many also highlighted the server's previous issues with racial slurs notably the n-word, and believed it to be hypocritical to ban the word cope. Several members were punished over the course of this rule's existence, such as Vya, who gave C-word passes to Vadim on a day when Cheggimus was in a shit mood, getting them both temporarily kicked. Vya returned to the server shortly after, while Vadim was unwilling to return for the timebeing due to the cope ban.

The incident began on the 14th of August, when a member named Graham got into a spat with Conquerus after mentioning the word several times, causing Conquerus to mute Graham. In response, Pat claimed that the rule was unfair and implied that the rule was being used by Conquerus to abuse his power for fun, infuriating Conq. The ensuing argument dragged in many other members of the community such as Avraso, who attempted to defuse the situation. Graham accused Conq of admin abuse as well, and defended his use of "cope" to irritate Conq, stating that he had the right to do so since the two disliked each other anyway. An agreement was eventually reached once Chegg posted an announcement detailing proper, hard rules regarding the use of the word "cope", while also stating that it was no longer banned.

Despite this agreement, the argument was eventually restarted by Pat the next day, who was still angered at Conquerus. This 2nd, more minor argument was quickly smothered once again. The situation was eventually resolved by Chegg after an agreement was reached to limit Conquerus and Pat's abilities to mute and take action against members considered to be flaming, due to the two accusing each other of moderator abuse.

Incident
On the morning August the 16th, 2020, the argument restarted. After Adger, one of the US co-players left, Pat began yet another argument, blaming Conq for Adger's departure. This was partially true as in DM's, Koe found out that Adger was disappointed not only at the cope ban, but also the generally slow pace of the game. Pat eventually ranted to Chegg about how Conq was "enforcing the rules without a care to the health of the server", while a mildly irritated Chegg who had probably just woken up tried to quell the argument. Pat also claimed that he had no ill will towards Conq, which other server members pointed out was a likely lie considering his occasionally successful attempts to get him banned, as well as his obvious hatred of Conq. Due to the increasing tide of members arguing against Pat, he finally decided to leave the server. Server members were at a loss to understand Pat's motives. Many of his criticisms, namely that Conq would abuse his power, had already been addressed. Many did not understand why Pat continued to raise the issue repeatedly without specifying what specifically was bothering him, focusing moreso on insulting Conq and accusing him of being a tyrant. Several server members speculated that the incident was never even about the word cope or Graham, but that the incident was only being used by Pat to wage a proxy war against Conq.

It was later discovered that Pat had attempted to convince Am Vyan Vya to support him against Conq, only to be rejected due to Vya's reluctance to join him in an argument against Conq and other server members. It was also later discovered that Pat had attempted to convince Vya to wipe out Conq's mudamaid inventory as a form of revenge against Conq, knowing that it would greatly upset him. Vya rejected this idea, telling Pat that he was not interested in getting banned. Vya's refusal to support Pat resulted in him being blocked by Pat and him leaving all mutual servers. Some server members took Pat's side, notably Graham, who argued that Conq should be removed from power for being 'controversial'. Quartz rebutted by stating that most of Conq's controversy by this point stemmed from individuals harassing him. Graham was muted by Quartz after this after telling Quartz to "cope".

The climax of the incident was reached when Cheggimus was sent an image of furry scat porn by Arion, a long disgraced member of GS. It was soon discovered that in a separate server containing Arion, Pat and Psikhrangkur, Arion had offered to send furry scat porn to Cheggimus, where he was met with reluctance by Pat. It was noted that Pat had opposed Arion's ideas not out of a desire to maintain decency, but only because he believed that it would make him look worse in the eyes of Cheggimus. This greatly angered Cheggimus and caused many server members to question Pat and Arion's mental stability.

Aftermath
The effects of the 2nd Postman Pat had a severe and damaging effect on GS. Pat's behaviour in the server and Arion's decision to send furry scat art to Chegg contributed greatly to her desire to stop maintaining the server. Realising that her mental health was now being severely affected by being head admin of GS, she formally stepped down as leader of GS on the 17th of August, handing over the reigns to Cactus the Bird. He would immediately end GS6 after deciding that the situation of the server was beyond salvageable, taking into account both the game's outdated and poor mechanics as well as the events of the previous few days.
