The Chain Break Debate

Context:
On Monday October 19th, 2020 at 2:24pm Pacific Standard Time, Franz began a :greglife: emote chain in #yell-chat with the goal of setting a record for an emote chain on the server. Sometime after 4pm the chain was broken with p@Sillzz being the last proper link in the chain.

Disagreement over who Broke the Chain:
The discord was determined to find the chain breaking culprit. As such they quickly turned on one another with such accusations of deleting messages and framing others for the break. While the thread as pictured shows Varunda as the chain breaker, the screenshot he shared, which appears to have broken the chain, shows it was in fact known anime trafficker Ganidiot who broke the chain. But even in this image Ganidiot broke the chain to accuse MagicEagle of having broke the chain only adding to the confusion.

Conspiracy Theories
Many theories still abound over who broke the chain and what their motives may have been.

Anime Attack:
The most popular theory is that this was an attack by the anime faction of the T1DE discord in an act of defiance for an ongoing anime ban in #yell-chat. Ganidiots central role in the controversy would appear to support such claims.

A False Flag:
Another theory is that this was in fact a false flag break conducted Varunda with the aid of MagicEagle in an attempt to justify retaliatory measures against Ganidiot's anime faction.

Monke?:
Monke!
