Heroes of the LL: A brief history of time.

As told by MP3Lock

Most people don't fully know the magical history that is the early Lock Legion, forged together from the biggest noobs for all the wrong reasons, it is a sheer wonder how it ever survived till today, the following is the complete yet still brief history of the Lock Legion from its birth, to its current state.

The "lock legion" concept was originally started by a NG group called the Blam club in early 2003 as a joke in relation to the clockcrew. Although a completely different group altogether, their concepts were hijacked and stolen by Banana Lock to create the basis of today's Lock Legion. The Lock legion you all know and love was born on August 4th 2003. The week after the death of what was the old LL.

The following are the heroes and founders of the LockLegion you see today, and what they were when they first joined on.

Banana Lock - age 17. Veteran of the Clockcrew, was demodded from the "sports section" after being a mod for about a week, (demodded for editing someones post) in a fit of rage he left the CC and joined the then Blam club "old" locklegion. With nothing to do in there he pressed for it to be a real flash group but they wanted none of it, they eventually all left and declared the group dead leaving banana with basically nothing, still bent on being a moderator he decided to rebirth the LockLegion under an entirely new crew of people. And thus today's LL was born.

On day one of the Lock legion's birth, four main members joined.

Mp3 Lock - Age 15. Member of the clockcrew. Originally one of the most noob clocks there was, being banned at least several times for terrible posting. Joined the LL for refresh his bad reputation and to hopefully get a moderator spot through hierarchy.

Peach Lock - Age 12-13. Some random kid from the NG forums. Could barely spell a sentence properly and only joined the LL to be a moderator. Wanted to join the "lock crew".

Egg Lock - Age 14. A clockcrew noobie who joined in the hopes of becoming a moderator.

Nullzilla/Money Lock - Age 14-15. - I have no idea where he came from, but he definitely only joined in the hopes of becoming a moderator, he did alot in the first few months but kind of disappeared after.

Other members were burrito lock, blueberry lock, purple lock, but they never really stayed. Jagged lock also joined in this time, although he didn't do much he was always around.

In the later upcoming months of mid 2003, a few more key members joined. This is their story.

Trash Lock - age 15. Was a new clockcrew member, he kept spamming the forums begging people to put him in their flash movies. When everyone made fun of him for being such a noob, he made a big hissy fit and joined the LL in retaliation. Probably only joined in hopes of being a mod.

Negative lock - Age 14-15. Was a clockcrew member and joined the LL in his quest to become a moderator of a forum. I don't think he ever made a flash movie.

Jujube Lock - age 18-19. The only member of the LL done puberty, Jube was the site admin of the now deceased NG army. He joined to flame Trash Lock at Banana's request.

When the LL was in its early stages, its leaders divided into 3 government parties and fought each other over site supremacy. These parties were.

1. The Imperialists.
Banana, Burrito, Mp3

2. The Anarchists.
Peach, Nullzilla, Trash (and later Head)

3. The Intellectuals
Egg, Jujube, Negative.

During the first year in our respective groups, we battled each other through hijacks, exploits and slander to be the leading force. Members such as Auber, and coffee joined in this time.

It wasn't until Trash, with his vastly superior coding abilities and unlimited parental income, finally united the LL by creating the first real LL v1, which was governed by members from all parties. This was probably when the LL actually became a real group instead of the unstable, incoherent mess it was previously.

After lollerskates leveled v1, the LL was then divided into two parties being

Team good
Mp3, Egg, Negative

Team evil
Trash and Peach

During this time the LL was run by Team good, lasting contributors such as Auber, and commie helped keep the streets clean and members such as clock, Winchester and their niche of friends joined/became active in this time. Things such as Lock day, music collabs and apprenticeship programs were first made, oh it was a glorious year of prosperity, until of course that blasted team evil came in and gassed all the locklegion babies, they poisoned egglock's cupcakes and in his dying breath he asked me to unite the Legion in his memory. Egglock and negative were never to be seen again.

It wasn't until about 6 months in the new site that the group was finally reunited,  and LLv4 was born. This was when the LL turned from a group of 20 active members into a group of 150 active members. And an entire year of glorious prosperity which boasted a site that consisted of 3500 registered members and over 350,000 posts. There was even a 5 month period where the Locklegion, in all aspects surpassed the Clockcrew itself as the greatest group on NGs.

All good things must come from an end though, and from late 2006- late 2007 the LL slowly and surely stagnated until it finally regressed into the group it is today. With a few hiccups over the years, that LL is still held together by most of its core members.

Lock Legion Origins

As told by JujubeLock

I joined LL.net to harass trash and peach because Banana joined the NG Army as my general and he recommended such

so I came on their site and flamed the hell out of them

afterwards, I warmed up to them

and then jagged lock got an admin password to cc.net

so I got it from jagged

and then gave it to a NGA member, and they blew up cc.net

so cc.net found out, and forced ll.net to shut down

so banana started a ll.com site that catered to both clocks and locks

but he wouldn't give me a mod position after I essentially made it so he could rule over both the clocks and locks

so I started an alternative LL with negative for that reason + clocks and locks should never be mixed

so Banana and I had an epic battle for locks

and then I got an admin password for banana's website from subtle hints from jagged

so I blew up his site<

and then Negative and my site was the primary site

and I got all my friends and NGA members to join as slummians, and got the locks to rejoin

and then I used the NGA to rig lock awards

and then the NGA blew up, so I ran the LL full-time

and communist was originally a NGA member under my command as a special ops

I think he was gheyzor or something

and then trash got his revenge by secretly building a new LL site, because I wouldn't admin him unless he agreed to do programming or something beneficial for the site

so then trash launched his site, and then neg nuked ours

and then I called neg a kike and asked him to hand over my website

so then I recruited wheat to be my programmer

then I eventually conceded defeat and trash eventually made me a mod then junior admin

only for lollers to take my account and destroy the LL.net again

because trash wouldn't undo his 2 day ban

so then I caused the destruction of both the ll.net and the ll.com twice

and yet I still manage to keep being modded and adminned

and banana got control of the LL by hijacking it from the original locks

trash, peach and money got control of the LL by hijacking it from banana

which makes it even more ironic that banana regained control by using me to hijack it from trash

and then I turn around and hijack it from banana again

just so trash could hijack it from me again

Jujube's Costly Mistake

As told by JujubeLock

trash gave me some free banner ads for compensation for doing his ad agreement legal writing

no one wanted banner ads, so I asked for premium accounts instead at an exchange rate comparable to each price

so many locks got their premium accounts through me

when it came time for Lucent's through my agreement with him, trash said no because premium accounts were the only thing making him money and he wanted me to stop giving them away

so somehow that must have led to Lucent getting access to my mod account for something or another as a trade, probably for a short period of time, and I guess that's how he nuked the site

so I had a shit fit after that and permabanned him after the site went back up

where that fits in the timeline I don't know because Lucent claims that was v 4.0

so I think it was the same site Lollerskates destroyed

so if my memory is correct, things were fixed and I was in the dog house for a while because of Lucent

and then eventually I worked my way back up, only for Lollerskates to go and fuck things up again
