An Extensive History of the D-Party:
The birth of the D-Party goes back almost two years. While it may not be a long time to some people, it is for those who were members from the beginning. The success began with one young man, the campaign manager named Hassli. He saw the potential of the little green bunny with his fantastic red tie and wanted to create a party, a political party for whom the Gaians could stand by. That party became the D-Party (which stands for Diedrich’s Party).
The D-Party officially started on November 24, 2013 where Hassli created a thread chronicling all things Diedrich. The thread was officially moved to the GCD on November 26, 2013. As awareness spread, new members began to flood in. With less than a month standing the D-Party got their official presidential seal from EitaLiraz on December 12, 2013.
A few days later the D (short for the D-Party and Diedrich) celebrated their first D-Party event ever during the winter holidays starting on December 17, 2013. They held a merry X-Mas event. There was a lot of fun to be had because on that same day the D-Party guild was established.
From there on, many holiday parties commenced. The year of 2014 was full of them. The D-Party hosted a Valentine’s Day event on February 14, 2014. Lots of love was shared amongst D-Partiers and other fellow Gaians alike as they gathered to share their love for Diedrich as well. The D had about 100 new members around that time. Additionally, in the next few days it became apparent that Diedrich has gained more support from Gaians during the President’s Day event on February 17, 2014. He is indeed the most stylish of them all and the D-Party knows it.
The following month, the D-Party was nominated for a Gaiacademy Award for the 2nd GaiAcademy Awards on March 1, 2014. Hassli accepted the GaiAcademy Award on March 5, 2014 on behalf of the D-Party. He also mentioned a few other groups worthy of praise who are fellow friends of the D. Later that month on March 27, 2014 it became known to the D-Party and everyone alike that Diedrich has his own twitter. He spews out facts within 140 characters!
On April 1, 2014 the D-Party celebrated Diedrich’s birthday! There were a lot of fun party games to play. Yes, the partying didn’t stop there because on the 20th of that month, the D-Party celebrated Easter together. We dubbed it D-ster. Many eggs were decorated and probably eaten secretly by the President himself.
In May, the D-Party held a D-Party Formal. There was lots of dancing and yes, dancey-dancey time. The D-Party members and the guests must have been partied out (if ever) because there wasn’t much going on during the next month. Four of the D-Party members did however, go nude for the D to raise more funds for political partying reasons and such during The Gaian Sponsored Nudity Event. These four brave souls were [Elske]- [XXIX], angelicgoddessofdeath, systemfailure99, and kim24. They went “nude” wearing nothing but their generic undies for two weeks representing the D.
A good amount of gold was raised from TGSNE and the D-Party used those funds for future summer parties such as the Hot Tub Party and the Traditional Japanese Festival. It was a wonderful summer which was almost too hot to handle.
Fall came around and the D-Party (elaborate on Halloween...need data)
[ 10/31/14 ]Happy Halloween!
Shortly afterwards, as of November 4, 2014, the D-Party discussed who President Diedrich’s Vice President should be. There was much political talk and debating on who was the right fit. Some big names were mentioned and tossed around, like in a hat before a game of charades. The candidates that were listed are as follows (elaborate and get data). However, none was as badass and perfectly suitable as Carl the Elk. He runs his own store and means business when he looks directly at you. Carl recognized and dually noted this great honor as well when he appeared before the D-Party. It was a grand day for all.
Almost a month later on December 5, 2014, the D-Party had Tea Party Summit. Yes, we had crumpets and biscuits too and sugar cubes for our tea. Lots of political issues were discussed among Gaians and D-Partiers alike. The Tea Party Summit discussed topics such as (elaborate and get data). The main issue of debate during the summit was (elaborate). In the midst of the event, Diedrich made an appearance and answered all questions that he could possibly answer within the amount of time he was able to. As President Diedrich of all of Gaia, he also has other presidential stuff to attend to but needless to say, we were all truly blessed to hear his words.
Later that month, the D-Party decided to team up with their fellow GCD groups to host one EPIC X-MAS JOINT EVENT. They teamed up with the S-Corp (Santa’s Corporation), J-Corp (Jack’s Corporation), E-Corp (Easter Bunny’s Corporation) and BCM (Black King’s Black Core Military). There were plenty of contests to be had and gifts to go around. The D-Party strengthened their bonds with their GCD friends and even made some new friends. It was a great way to end the year.
As 2015 went underway, the first main event that the D-Party had was their Valentine’s Day event in which they joined the HBC (Heartbreak Café) to share some love with all of Gaia. The Paparazzi group and (elaborate) joined in as well. Together they worked their butts off and the Valentine’s Day event quickly gained popularity among all Gaians alike. HBC even got their own interview with the lovely Cindy Donovin. It was a huge success! During this time, new crew members systemfailure99 and Dyed Zinc were added to the team as the D-Party guild’s membership increased.
In March, a small St. Patrick’s Day event was hosted by the D-Party which was known as the D-Tavern. It was a teaser grand opening for the new semi-roleplaying thread that would be featured in the D-Party guild. The mysterious D-Soda became readily available.
A week later the D-Party was granted a kickstart to help fund Diedrich’s birthday bash…and possibly other future political parties. Normally, the D-Party struggled to gain funds for events because only a handful really donated to the guild. Thankfully their Campaign Manager, Hassli made a bold request during an Ask the Staff event, and thus, the kickstart came into fruition. It was a lot of work getting it set up but the D-Party worked together to make sure that the event was flawless. All the gold that was donated would not be used selfishly. The D-party made it very certain that they would use the 44 trillion gold that was earned to give back to the Gaia Community in future events.
The main event of the year though was President Diedrich’s birthday. You bet your gold, that the D-Party partied hard. It was an extravagant party fit for the President himself! In a short amount of time, guild membership increased exponentially. The D-Party gained overwhelming support and well…some haters but the D loves all, regardless of opposing opinions and views! Everyone is our friend!
It wasn’t long until the D-Party was faced with the important question of Diedrich’s true origins during the Gaia wide Easter 2k15 event. Where did he come from? Johnny Gambino’s urn or was he a long lost brethren of the Space Ranger Bunnies? The answer was resolved to the delight of the D-Party when one of the President’s super powers were revealed. He could do a best friend fusion with the Easter Bunny. (link up to manga chapters)
In May earlier this year, Gaia threw a month long throwback event. Everyone celebrated Gaia’s most memorable moments. Likewise, the D-Party took up the opportunity to host their own D-Party Roots event.
So what exactly is the D-Party doing today? Well they’re currently hosting a panel at the NPCon! At the moment, they currently have 624 members and they’re still growing.
