 Stryker played as the German Empire for a second time and saw overall success.
-Berlin hosted some of the servers best builds and a global empire with a large population. Strykergang was able to basically dominate the server diplomatically. Stryker allied the neighboring power of France, led by [[Vespi]], and helped them defeat the British [[Norse]].

Furthermore, following the migration of Japanese refugees there, an invasion of America was planned but the server died before it could take place.

 The group unfortunately saw several traitorous factions attempt to split away from their control. Karling20 was sent to Namibia to establish a German colony there. He unsuccessfully attempted to declare independence, and was raped by his overlords. Another forgotten newfag made a fort in Baden-Würtemburg and refused to join the nation.

 This defeat to the bronies caused radical changes in thought and strategy about the server for Strykergang as a whole. The lessons learned here were crucial in the development of Strykergang becoming the diplomatic hegemon it would soon become. Strykergang has not been defeated since.
-Following the end of the server, Falklands would officially join the group and was immediately promoted to officer because of his butthurt at being defeated so badly and vowed to get revenge on the Bronies with them. Some other notable new members would include [[Stongduke]], [[Vespi]], NebeldesQT, and iDerin.
+Following the end of the server, [[Falklands]], a French refugee who fought with the coalition, would officially join the group as an Officer out of his burning desire to get revenge on the Bronies. He would go on to become a very prominent member of the group and designer of most of its future towns. [[Vespi3]], interim Leader of France, would also play with the group going forward when he had the time. Some other notable new members would include [[Stongduke]], NebeldesQT, and iDerin.

-Strykergang has on occasion been led by 'second in command' officers [[PandaPieForAll]] in [[26.0]], and by [[Falklands]] in [[35.0]], and briefly in [[29.0]] and [[31.0]]. Following the official retirement of the group in late 2022, prominent officer [[Voth]] was declared the official successor by Stryker after his victories in [[38.0]], although Voth may also be retiring himself soon.
+**Interim Leaders**
+Strykergang has on occasion been led by 'second in command' officers [[PandaPieForAll]] in [[16.0]] and [[26.0]], and by [[Falklands]] in [[35.0]], and briefly in [[29.0]] and [[31.0]]. Following the official retirement of the group in late 2022, former officer [[Voth]] was declared the official successor by Stryker after his many victories in [[38.0]]. Voth's victory in [[39.0]] was similarly applauded and given the blessing of Stryker, although by this point Voth's group is largely indistinguishable from the old group.
+**Etymology of "Strykergang"**
+The name 'Strykergang' only came into use around 30.0-31.0. It spawned from the -gang meme, as seen in gang weed and anprim gang. In Onion's gigantic discord server, he gave members of each prominent metagroup a role. 'Strykergang' was a popular vernacular term at the time because of the aforementioned memes, and was used as the role name, marking the (probably) earliest official usage of it. Before this, the group was commonly just refered to derivatives of Stryker, like "Strykerfags" or "Stryker's group".
+**Group Symbolism**
+Goldfish -- The Goldfish mascot is a symbol used by the core members of the group dating back to around 25.0. It represents the group's history of countering the famed Brony [[pringles]]
