The Roleplaying League 

11-08-2011 to 03-07-2012

Origins
Founded by Fallenleaves in November of 2011, it was a succesor to Iron Fist.

Golden Era
The early days of the RPL era were characterized as a great era with bountiful activity and well done Roleplays. It appeared that the Roleplaying community had found stability.

Downfall
-CzarHellios:

The Role Player's Leauge was in a bitter civil war known as the first Role Playing War. Massive arguements upon Skype of over twenty to thirty people at any time during any and all day's, massive forum battles. Drama, and so forth. The revolutionaries, or reformers charged that SHIP, Led by Incorporated States was to elitist and was harming the community more than good. Proponents of reform and or leaders of the Revolution and RPL at this time were FallenLeaves, CzarHellios, Tnova, and others. Leaders of the ruling regime, as some call it were Incorporated States, Komodo, and a few others.

The Civil War occurred when those of Incorporated States supporters began posting hateful messages on the forums and on Skype, saying that newer player's were genuinely crap and should stay crap, and that Training games, trainers, and any and all forms of organization where bad and must be ended.

Reformers countered that reform was necassary to ensure the survival of the community, or the games would become dull, boring, with each game becoming the same, with the same people, the same preferences of people to ally with, and so forth.

The civil war ended with the banning of Incorporated States and furthermore, the destruction of SHIP. However, with a massive exodus from the community, the RPL's reformed successor, the SCR quickly collapsed.

The Drama War's, or RP War's as they were known caused bitter divides in the communtiy, that last to this day.

It should be noted that JoeConqueror's exit from the Roleplaying community was a factor in the end of the RPL
