The Community
Colenia's community is mostly made up of Mappers but it also includes friends of mappers, people from other servers and other people from outside the world of mapping. This gives the server a diverse community that allows it to be set apart from other Mapper servers. The community also allows non-mappers to know and learn about the world of mapping that we all share. This allows us to expand the Mapping Community and also allows for Mappers to share their experiences and pastimes with the outside world.

History
Most of this history is based around my point of view. All of the following events are completely true but biases may exist (Do not take everything said as 100% true) -ThatBritishMapper

Most of Colenia's history contains the story of two of the higher-ups in Colenia, TBM and NinjaWagz, that have been at odds with each other who controls the server. This has led to three internal conflicts regarding the staff positions of the server. These conflicts have partly shaped the community of Colenia into a partially cynical group who are always ready for the worst.

Sept-Mid Nov. 2016 - The Early Days and the JSM Server
Colenia started out as a small server run by NinjaWagz. The server was then made to fit the short-lived Mapper-Gamer Trio, "Just Some Mappers", contaning TBM, NinjaWagz and Dictat0R Mapping. This was then dropped as JSM quickly stagnated and Dictat0R resigned. After this, TBM and NinjaWagz got to work on creating an identity for the server. The name "Colonia" was originally chosen but was dropped, having learned that there was already a server with this name.

Mid Nov. 2016 - First Colenian Civil War
After several failed attempts at banning user DryCryCrystal for alleged hacking, several members of the server rebelled and created a new group for Colenia. This conflict led to a victory on TBM   's part leading to shared control over the server for TBM by NinjaWagz.

Jan. 2017 - Second Colenian Civil War (a.k.a. the "DryCryCrisis")
After three months of peace, NinjaWagz decided to remove TBM   's power on Colenia and reinstall DryCryCrystal (the same one as mentioned prior) as his Co-Owner. This was met with retaliation by TBM   's group. After three days of fighting, the war ended in another TBM victory, leading to NinjaWagz being completely overthrown. With this, user and friend of DryCryCrystal and NinjaWagz, TantalicFive38, was revealed as the one who constantly hacked, simply blaming DryCry. NinjaWagz was then replaced by Munyvian Mapping and Banana Mapper, with TBM staying as owner.

Jan. 2017 - Installation of Democracy
After the "DryCryCrisis", TBM created a system where, on the 16th of every month, new staff members were elected. The candidates in 1st and 2nd place became Administrators and the candidates in 3rd and 4th place became Moderators. The winners of the first election were, in order of votes:
 * 1) NinjaWagz
 * 2) Axitu
 * 3) TempleofLegends
 * 4) DryCryCrystal

Feb. 2017 - Third Colenian Civil War
After the "DryCryCrisis", NinjaWagz became increasingly angry over TBM   's power and staged a revolt, repeating what TBM had done two months prior. The only difference was this time, many people were in favour of NinjaWagz. After two days of what seemed like a NinjaWagz victory, he started trying to emotionally break TBM into capitulation, using TBM   's imperfect mental state to his advantage. After this, many people turned against NinjaWagz. During this period, many people took what NinjaWagz kept saying as a joke. After a weak attempt at attacking TBM, calling him a "depressed cow." TBM took this as nothing and proceeded to change his Discord username to "depressed cow." This became a trend in Colenia during the war and was used to bring support and morale to TBM   's effort. After a week of tension, NinjaWagz finally gave up and was defeated. This war was the most damaging to not just Colenia, but NinjaWagz   ' and TBM   's relationship as friends.

Mar. 2017 - "Boring" - Munyvian
Currently, Colenia is in a state of uneasy tension, as NinjaWagz has decided to return his claim on the Colenia name, and has resigned as moderator. The three owners have therefore been banned by NinjaWagz, and he has turned a blind eye. Whatever happens next is unknown. This though does not mean that it's been devoid of drama. A recent failed attempt at a DDoS by Doom_Shroom has lead to further cracking down by TBM.

April 2017 - April Fools, CryCryCrystal
On April fools' day, a member of the server known as DryCryCrystal "CryCryCrystal" after a defeat in war, started messing with the discord. He was banned from the discord, and his powers have been revoked. This Saga has just began. He is also currently having failed DDoS attacks against multiple server members, and the server.
