Karakaze Troupe
Karakaze Troupe was a bandit kingdom on Graal2001 co-lead by Sisok and TrueHeaT. However, they usually used RPing as a pretense and excuse to commit illegal acts such as scamming and rock stealing. Karakaze also achieved an incredible level of staff infiltration, where most high level and several low level staff positions were held by either members or supporters or Karakaze Troupe, including nearly the entire Graal2001 Police Force.
Karakaze Troupe and Illegal Activities
A common practice among Karakaze Troupe members was to steal rocks from miners. For this reason, they were considered the major enemy of Googi (See: Googi's Mining Crusade), and later on, Miners Inc. Their staff infiltration prevented any form of scripted security for rocks from ever being implemented.
Karakaze Troupe members also frequently used various scamming techniques as a means of gaining items and money. Their staff infiltration also prevented scripted anti-scamming measures from being implemented for a very long time.
BirdBird's Karakaze Staff Ban
Due to how great Karakaze Troupe had infiltrated the staff positions of Graal2001, BirdBird created a rule that Karakaze Troupe members could not hold staff positions because of the kingdom's involvement in illegal activities. BirdBird posted a sign in the Karakaze caves stating the following.
"Attention Karakaze Troupe. You are not allowed to be in Karakaze and ANY sort of staff This being Police, ART, NOTHING. also let it be known that if Police contiue to favor the Trouppe and let them out/do favors for them, and ignore other things about them that police will not only lose his job but lose any staff prvilages. Let this sign be a remider to all of you who break the rules non stop you can only go so far before soemthing has to be done, whether that be removal of members, or destruction of Karakaze. Any staff that are biased against the Troupe will lose their power or be punished if dealing with a graal crime Sorry this has to be done, but the troupe is getting out of hand, and is ruining gameplay for others Karakaze is not above graal law, know that, and nither are the local staff -Birdbird_0 if you have any other complaints #b Contact me (Birdbird_0)"
In a demonstration of just how much Karakaze had infiltrated the Graal2001 Police Force, AlkarenHyralt, the Police Chief at the time and a Karakaze supporter reacted saying "Goddamnit. This means now I lose almost all of my senior officers." Due to the crippling of the Graal2001 staff from the loss of all Karakaze members as well as several protest quittings the rule was repealed after only one day.
Karakaze Troupe and the Dustari Crowns
In an RP Event, Karakaze Troupe stole the four Dustari crowns. Sisok got one, TrueHeat got one, and Marle got one. Who got the fourth crown is unknown, but it eventually fell into the hands of Rabid, who was not a member of Karakaze Troupe. Googi, who was the Head Guard of Zormite, attempted to recover the crowns, and even killed Sisok twice, though Sisok refused to acknowledge them as RP kills. The crowns gradually dwindled out of existence as Marle, Sisok and TrueHeaT all quit. Rabid's was deleted in the First Graal2001 Reset.
