How The Galactic Republic Discord r/republicdiscord managed to reach 2nd place!

First let me preface that many April Knights were in the top 100 and held a clear majority in the Top 10!! This was achieved from a nearly unbelievable dedication and focus, voting every single round every single minute.

That was achived thanks to the efforts of u/xJRWR of http://spacescience.tech/ & u/dimden of https://dimden.dev/ and many other Knights & Necromancers!

I’m Mission Vao u/irate_kalypso (kalypso#6969) An Admin of The Galactic Republic Discord Server and a sworn Knight of Nevermore and Acolyte in the Arcanaeum of the April Knights!!

Each year we are really excited to do these Annual Events! The Knights/Narrators/Ocean/Sneks participated in a wonderful K-MART ARG for the “pre-event”! We learned of r/Second and had an icon for the event. On April 1st we were ready and geared up for anything that would be thrown our way!

Various tools were created for users to utilize assisting them with the event! Helping auto select randomly, or selecting choices that were in second place on the first count reveal, etc, etc. I personally didn't trust any of the tools completely enough to use on my main account. So... I developed a slow, grind strategy, using the information the event was giving us all.... Count Reveals and etc... we climbed, ever so slowly.

After a gruelling 1000 rounds going it alone and interacting with the April Knights community, I reached out to my friends of The Galactic Republic to see if we could beat the tools available with shear will and organized numbers instead.

Breakdown:

- We have a good gaming chair

- Big chicky tendy energy

- Through the unlimited powah of friendship

- We did push-ups, sit-ups and drank plenty of juice

- Great experience, had fun hanging with friends, worth wasting 15 hours and staying up to 6 am

- Through a community effort from equally devoted individuals, teamwork led to the placement achieved. All the options given in round 2000 applied into the game plan, but could only be successful when backed and executed through combined effort and time spent by the group of members on the Galactic Republic Server

- Don't underestimate individual people. We all stayed awake for hours on end, all focusing on the votes. Mission basically pinged in a channel on the TGR discord telling what to vote for the manipulate one option to being #1, then Mission deducted which option would be #2 out of the remaining 2. The only reason we managed to stay going for as long as we did without using any bots is because we were all in vc together, just vibing.

Find the group that is perfect for you! There is always someone to chat with! Between 70k-90k messages are sent daily and increasing, spread throughout the different factions we have!

One of the things that makes this server unique is you all have absolute freedom of speech, just like the foundation that Reddit was built on. We follow Discord TOS & Guidelines. Allowing us to have a wide range of opinions and personalities.

In here we have a very unique culture, with people across the globe united with a common ground of love for Star Wars, we’ve gained a tight nit community like no other, with our own memes, inside jokes, and a sense of camaraderie in here that isn’t easy to match! Despite our size, we still have a small server feel and unity with each other!

Meme, vibe and have fun in The Galactic Republic!
