MountainHippie

MountainHippie or Hippie joined May 3rd, 2020. He is an American shitposter and an esteemed 9b6t meme creator, rising to the occasion during the Post-Dupe War to create based anti-Danimania art. Hippie was apart of Atlas, where he later became apart of Stormfront following the Atlas merger, and founded The Vietcong as well. He went inactive on August 11th, 2020, due to returning to college.

Origins
After months of grinding Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, Hippie decided he needed a break from the FPS genre. After poking through some SalC1 videos, Hippie saw a comment posted by 9b6t's owner, Neo, with the server's IP included. Wanting to relive old memories, he re-downloaded Minecraft and hopped into the server. Hippie was able to escape the spawn immediately without getting himself killed and began to create tunnel bases around the spawn region, declaring the creation of The Vietcong in chat.

Uncle Ho's Base
Hippie invited his friend, Slyyper, to join him on the server. The two began creating a tunnel base around 6k from spawn, dubbing it "Uncle Ho's Base." Both were vanilla players, so the base was very slow to develop and resources were hard to come by. Tunnels were constructed, spanning thousands of blocks in every direction, with sub-tunnels branching off to create confusion for unwanted visitors. The base would later be destroyed by Go Hoosiers so that it couldn't be griefed by either Dark Empire or Northern Empire.￼￼

Atlas Acquantaince
After a week or two, A2H of Atlas took notice of the duo, eventually delivering duped gear to the base to help with expansion. A brief agreement between both A2H and Hippie was made, and The Vietcong was recruited as a semi-autonomous subgroup of Atlas. Not long after, Hippie and Slyyper abandoned Uncle Ho's base to move closer to an Atlas base.

Stormfront Relations
During the trip, more tunnel bases were built along the way. Around this time, the relationship between Atlas and Stormfront began to become tenser. After befriending the player Wraith, Hippie and Slypper set off to grief the remains of Cryptopia. The job was poorly done and led to the two getting mocked by members of Stormfront in the server's discord.

Straightbar
After this, Hippie created the alliance "Straightbar," joining forces with old Team Nuclear members Wraith and Shae, as well as Diamond_Woody from Atlas. A base was constructed but was promptly destroyed after members of the group had reasonable suspicion that CyberTF2 had the coords. It later turned out to be a bluff, much to the annoyance of Hippie, who was opposed to the destruction of the new base.

Stormfront Agreement
A new base was constructed, but after a short time, both Wraith and Shae became inactive. Hippie and Slypper became less active on the server as well, with Hippie being more active on the server's discord, creating memes for the ongoing Post-Dupe War. Realizing Danimania was the bigger threat than Stormfront, a weak peace agreement was made between Hippie and them. More memes were created, and the relationship between Hippie and Stormfront became stronger. Eventually, though, Hippie left to travel for a month, becoming inactive on both the server and the discord.

Stormfront Merger & Membership
After rejoining from his hiatus, Hippie found the climate of the server had changed greatly. During his inactivity, an agreement between Go Hoosiers and A2H was made to merge Atlas into Stormfront. Hippie became the bargaining chip, as Go Hoosiers would only accept the merger if it meant another American joining the team. Thus, the merger went through without Hippie's knowledge. He openly accepted his new membership, as he had come to truly appreciate what Stormfront had to offer.

Diamond_Woody Betrayal
He also had found out that his old base mate, Diamond_Woody, was partially responsible for the Northern Empire grief of Atlas base. In retaliation, Hippie nuked Woody's main stash and abandoned the base, settling elsewhere to begin work on a new Vietnam War-themed base.
