# Cameron (The Aquarium veteran) — oral testimony
Recollections from a long-serving member of The Aquarium, relayed to the site owner
in 2026 and passed on for the wiki. The account covers the smtn elf era, the
Avocado Aquarium pact, subguild arrangements, and several alliance names that
appear in no written source.
## Status of this source
This is memory, offered years after the events, by a participant with a side. It is
recorded here because for parts of 2022-2024 no written record exists at all — the
forum's alliance listings had been deleted and guild diplomacy had moved to private
Discords.
Testimony was **fact-checked before entry** wherever checking was possible. Several
claims were confirmed against the territory-exchange log or the official API: the
existence of the joint subguild Avoquarium, the smtn else to smtn elf rename, and a
particular guild's brief membership with corrected dates. At least one claim was
**refuted** by map data and is not in the wiki.
## How the wiki treats it
Claims resting on this source alone are labelled as testimony in the article prose,
never stated as established fact. Where it is corroborated, the article cites both
this and the corroborating source. Names and characterisations of other people's
conduct are not carried over.
No transcript is published here: the underlying conversation was private, and the
material used from it appears in the articles that cite it.
