Founder of The Separatists in June 2016 and, under his earlier username Supermariowifi, leader of its founding guild The Anarchy. His opening post is the earliest written account of the HackForums–Libertas "rule of two".
Tapu_Fini founded The Separatists on 26 June 2016, the second of the two anti-HackForums alliances of that month.[1] At the time he posted under the name Supermariowifi and led The Anarchy, the alliance's founding guild; his forum profile still lists The Anarchy as his guild.[2][3][4]
His opening post is the earliest surviving written description of the bloc that held the 2016 map, and casts it as a duumvirate: "This enemy, known only has 'Hack Forums' quickly established their rule through military might... Soon after, another guild, Libertas, joined the surge. The two guilds crushed all opposition and still rule with an iron fist."[3] The whole thread is written in Star Wars references, which he confirmed when a reader objected that separatists forming an alliance made no sense: "Ever seen Star Wars? In star wars the separatists were an alliance of systems that wanted to leave the republic."[5]
He was candid about the odds — "Luck will definitely be needed to take down hax lol"[6] and "even if we don't beat them, at least we can be an annoyance"[5] — and, challenged on whether he had ever attacked the bloc at all, gave the only account of the alliance in action: "I mean lir and hax. And we have. Usually around Ragni. Katoa ranch we tend to attack a lot."[7] His last recorded posts, on 1 July 2016, argue for the guild-repair update over new content: "I'd rather have usable content then lots of content."[8]
