Howdy folks. How about we do something for a change and make an announcement, yeah? First of all, as you saw in Discord, we are working to try and bring back Modded MC via whatever means necessary. Vanilla MC, fun as it is, just can't quite match the experience that modded MC brings to the table. So, we are going to try and bring modded back. We are asking for each and every one of you to suggest your favorite mods. Keep in mind that not every suggestion will be implemented due to either being redundant to an existing mod, compatibility/stability issues, etc. We also want to try and ensure the pack continues to be playable on lower end PC's to some degree (that degree being around the 30fps mark) and thus we can't take the pack up to 200+ mods as it would simply require too much memory to run. That being said, there is no fixed mod limit really, and if you suggest a mod that we think just HAS to be in the pack, then you can bet it will be added if at all possible. Now let's address the elephant in the room. The fact that CU has basically been a ghost town since April 23. For those of you who weren't around during that time, we had some issues with staff being very much against one of the heads of the community (Alycat) who is also a near and dear friend of mine. This went on for several months starting initially on January 29th and finally coming to a close April 23. Several of our staff, including higher up admins, left CU and now most are camped out on Elaztek Studios. Since that point, I have been working basically full time to get Elaztek up and running. I will still be putting a lot of energy towards it of course, however I want to start to get CU moving again. Right now, the folks that left CU and Elaztek are sitting around laughing at us - and for good reason. We have sat here doing jack for two months. Some may even have the idea that they were what made CU great (although it couldn't be further from the truth). I think it is high time to get things moving again. We have a staff team that has no issues with itself, and in a way I believe that the events that happened may have not been so terrible as they seemed at first. I think that CU in the state that it is in now lends itself to big opportunities going forward. We have a clean slate to work on. We can experiment and try new things and see what works and what doesn't, and thus you may or may not see features periodically being added and removed from our vanilla server. You won't see this at first as we are working on modded MC at the moment, but after modded gets settled in you can expect to see some changes being done for MC. We have several plans for the future of CU. Without going into details, we want to expand beyond just hosting a vanilla MC server - and beyond hosting servers in general. While we won't stop hosting servers of course, we want to try new things as well. In addition, our MC server will be featuring some new stuff in the coming months as well, including but not limited to: Reamped to the Advertiser rank system Purge Apocalypse gamemode, a CR idea that involves defending against hordes of mobs while also defending against other players as well. See the post below for more information on that. Trackerzine, a new minigame that involves riding a minecart and placing tracks to eventually reach the center (or other end point). First one to the goal wins. This can be 'previewed' if you will in the creative world, where Alycat built a sort of concept arena for it. Hit aly up for more details on how the mode will work and such and to get an idea of how it plays. Information on Purge Apocalypse: Keep in mind that some ideas may or may not be altered to better fit into a coherent gamemode. So that's about it folks, don't leave us just yet. Because we have a lot of stuff in store for the future.

This update also includes changes from April 23, 2017 to now * Updated timeline * Promoted Alycat to Owner * Demoted Wind to Veteran - Removed WF theme (only accessible by admins) - Removed Killerteddy

i do indeed

I think it instead is the product of someone trying to exit a state of depression, trying to save a friendship, and trying to save a community, but that's just me. Please do not come here trying to start shit, as we do not come on your community trying to start shit either. Amen.

Follow Up A quick little follow up in regards to Wind, and the reason Aly was actually demoted. Aly was demoted in order to allow the WindFrontier merge to be given another attempt. Aly consented to a temporary demotion, but quickly that changed over to Aly leaving outright due to being shit talked nonstop. Wind had reasons of his own consisting of immaturity and Aly's overall behavior as not being "Owner material", among other things. The truth is that half of these reasons were either outright fabrications or were simply not anything worthy of demoting an Owner from power. Alycat never once during this ordeal manipulated me. What I think simply happened personally is that people were drawn to Wind's character and continue to be and thus are more quick to follow and believe his word. While CU did have instances where people tried to throw Aly off the boat, these instances were years ago and were over meaningless things, and being in a time where both myself and Aly were far less mature than we are now. Despite what some of my posts have said in regards to Alycat, a lot of it was my own judgement being clouded by both Wind and by my own anger at the situation at large. Anger that was used as fuel to perpetuate the same bullshit lies about my friend. This will be the last and final post I make that so much as acknowledges WindFrontier. Unless Alycat has anything left to add, WindFrontier discussion will be disallowed entirely on Chaotic United, effective immediately. I want to thank those of you who have had the patience to stick with us during these hard times and I hope that you continue to stick by our side as we continue to grow and expand.

We made it guys. On September 5, 2014, I started this revival of Chaotic United, and shortly thereafter Alycat joined and made critical contributions to the project. And despite recent events and previous issues between me and Alycat and with Windwhistle and WindFrontier, Alycat and I continue to work together on making CU great again. Setback after Setback... Many setbacks have hit CU, the worst one happening just recently where several staff retired and went over to Elaztek Studios and several players also left. Along with that, Wind also has left us and has returned to WindFrontier as well. CU has been very chaotic (no pun intended. well, sort of) since this WindFrontier drama began. Several policies and rules are being updated and implemented to prevent future events similar to this from happening again. The events that transpired caused 3 months to be wasted for both CU and WF and has caused a lot of heartache for both myself and for Alycat. At first things were manageable, but as time went on Aly and I became increasingly miserable butting heads and being enemies. It wasn't right, we were close friends who understood each other better and more deeply than anyone could even begin to comprehend. As time went on, I continued to feel more and more powerless and more and more hopeless for the future of Chaotic United. Not only because of losing my partner since almost day one, but also because CU continued to make no progress despite making the "important" decision to remove Alycat from CU. We went nowhere, we began to boast more servers, but these servers did nothing to grow population. On top of that, Blizzardbball was demoted off the team entirely due to "immaturity". While I agreed that some punishment should come to him for what happened in CU's staff and admin discord channels, I did not feel that a full on demotion was at all called for. What I think doomed any cooperation with Wind/WindFrontier was the fact that we simply disagreed on too much stuff. Wind insisted that Alycat was a toxic and cancerous human being and extremely immature, where I thought that Aly was simply not the most mature person on the planet and didn't demonstrate the best attitude at certain times. Based on various external factors in Aly's life, that attitude was excused. Wind believed that Blizz's raging at CS:GO would annoy newcomers, and that he was overall immature and thus unfit for the position. I disagreed and others as well, stating that Blizz raging was going to be found funny more often than it was going to be found annoying. For example, see the spoiler below: Wind and I simply disagreed on the general direction that CU should take and numerous other decisions. It ultimately led to the events that took place several times, with us eventually leaving WF behind. As time went on and we remained with Wind/WF longer, the more damaged CU was going to be left in. Had Wind and them stayed in CU longer, it's hard telling what would have happened. I may have never gotten my friend back, CU may have shut down MC in favor of something different entirely. I may have lost all of my drive to keep CU going and either handed it off to someone else or shut it down entirely. But thankfully, nothing of the sort happened. Wind left and refused to return, Blar had already left. Michael wanted to start Elaztek and thus the door was gaping wide open for Aly to return. I know that some have questioned, "If halo knows that so many people dislike Aly, why bring Aly back in the first place?". The simple and not-so-cheery reason for it was not just that I wanted my friend back, but even more because there was no reason not to. Had I not done such, Chaotic United would have been rebranded into Elaztek Studios and the CU we know and love would be gone forever. And with me wanting to keep CU going, get my friend back, and continue my journey here, it was really a no-brainer. Elaztek was then presented as a place for people to "escape" from Alycat should they be unable or unwilling to tolerate Aly any further. Aly is not part of Elaztek Studios and while it has a different goal and ANYONE is welcome (and encouraged) to join it, some may prefer it because of the fact that it has the same team that CU has had for a while (including all of those who left besides Wind) and many of the same active users. But at last, here, on Chaotic United's 6th birthday, we are leaving the chaos behind and we are leaving WF behind to continue to help CU grow and expand - the right way. Not by throwing away those close to you in the hope of a few players, not by allowing what some may consider corruption to enter the high ranks of CU. We want to grow in a natural way that builds a healthy community, built around caring about each other and being friends with each other, not built around hating former staff and admins and owners. Some Changes Several changes will be made to CU. Some policy changes to prevent future WF incidents will be made to the Terms of Service and the Community Guidelines. In addition, we are actively seeking out new staff members to help fill in the void left by those who have left over the course of the past few weeks. And of course, we are looking into new ideas and features to add onto our MC server. In addition, all News and Announcements relating to WF and CR that were posted during the back and forth have been made public for you all to go back and read, as while it was a dark portion of our history, it is a part of history that we all know happened - and it will be remembered as we move forward. If we do not remember history, we forget it. And those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And this particular instance is something that we must never repeat again. Along with that, with Aly coming back, Chaotic Reborn has merged back into CU - as it should be. Other splinter communities have also re-merged back into CU just as they should have been. Blizz has been set to Moderator which is what I consider to be a more sensible punishment for his actions - a demotion, but not a total demotion. Future Outlook Despite what you may have heard over on Elaztek Studios, CU is not being "left to die". This outright lie has been perpetuated by some folks that don't entirely understand the situation, or by those who simply believe that Alycat will be the downfall of Chaotic United. What IS true however is that I will not be as active as I have been for a little while as I am doing a lot of work to start Elaztek Studios up. I think that moving forward, we will be moving to expand beyond just MC server hosting as we were going to do beforehand. We have lost several servers due to recent events, however as mentioned before, these servers gave us no real traffic. I will be doing a lot of work on Elaztek Studios for a while, however I will not be simply leaving CU in the dust. Wrapping Things Up To top things off, for the next 72 hours we are having a 50% off sale on everything in the donation store, for anyone looking to get an upgrade at a lower price. We have a lot of plans being discussed internally despite all of these recent events so stay tuned, everyone! Happy birthday, Chaotic United!

So, some things have gone down here Chaotic United that has led to a new group called Elaztek Studios coming up to fruition. Over the past few months on CU since Aly was demoted, I was sitting around miserable due to the loss of my friend, Alycat. Today I had a weak moment again and I wanted to bring my friend back. I was talking with Michael regarding it and he later spoke to Wind. Wind ended up quitting CU outright and is back on WindFrontier. At that point, Michael and I had little faith in the future of CU due to Wind leaving. Eventually, it came to a point where Michael and I were considering rebranding CU under the Elaztek name and CU would effectively die off, but I came up with a different plan. Aly has returned to Chaotic United and is once again my friend. CU may or may not continue to move forward but I will retain a hefty level of control over it - as in, Aly isn't coming in and totally taking over. I will continue to have a fair amount of involvement here at Chaotic United, however I will also be doing a great deal of stuff over at Elaztek. The MC server will continue the path it is right now and we will continue to expand it as we have been. If you have anything against Aly, or even if you don't, I encourage you all to check out Elaztek Studios: https://discord.me/elaztek.
