Schutzstaffel Faction

The SS(Schutzstaffel) was a Faction that once existed on Chatgum during the Faction Era of 2017 in the Roleplay Community.

General
The SS was a faction based on the Axis Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany and existed on Chatgum for a large chunk of late 2017. The Faction was one of the largest factions to ever come into existence on Chatgum and rivaled even factions such as The Knights. The Faction originally stayed in the Roleplay Chats but would eventually move to the lesser-known chat of Highschool DXD to house their role-players.

History
The Schutzstaffel was founded by a new user to Chatgum named SS Schutzstaffel who created the faction after seeing Chatgum's role-play community, knowing his knowledge of Axis history could make an impressive Faction.

It did not take long for the faction to grow to extremely popular levels due to proper recruitment and tactics with tiles and chat-rooms.

By the time of October of 2017, it was becoming one of the biggest factions in all of Chatgum history and got the attention of other factions such as The Knights and the Fairy-Tale Guild.

The faction brought back many new and old view-points to life, such as viewing nekos and furries as minorities.

Near the end of it's life, many other factions had come into creation to rival the faction such as the Death Korps Krieg(D.K.K) which acted as the faction's main rival during its lifetime.

Though the actual cause of the faction's down-fall is unknown, it is assumed either Moderation interference or lack of interest in the project were the main culprits.

Legacy
Though the SS has died down to nothing in the modern-day, it still remains a heavy part of Chatgum history which paved the way for modern factions as previous ones were more fantasy and guild-like whilst SS proved that one could make effective factions using more modern styles.

Moderator Interference
Due to its Axis nature, many Moderators condemned the concept of SS and even brought it to the attention of the app's creator Jay. Some believe that the faction may have been slowly shut down for this reason as the Moderators kept muting and attacking the faction and its supporters.
