The U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬lear Meltdown

Part 1: Warning Signs
Wednesday, Oct 11

After joking about U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬'s old habbit of humble bragging, Max decided to reveal some information he gathered during a trip to visit U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬. U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ had not made many friends at his college. U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ refuted, saying that Max was a liar, but Max stayed firm in his stance. Tyler jokingly called out U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ as the real liar, and Chris backed up Max.

Later that night, U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ left the chat without saying a word. Chris added him back, joking that he could not escape. U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ responded, "Be careful. I'm not messing around," and then left again. Unaware of what triggered this, Chris called the group to assemble. Some questioned why U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ left, but nobody took Chris seriously. Thinking Chris was just being a spaz, David decided to casually add back U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬. On the side, Tyler thought, "He's probably going to kick us all when he comes back," but not wanting to give anybody any ideas, he simply said "hes gonna leave as soon as he notices." Chris continued to attempt to assemble the group, though at this point everyone had gone to sleep.

Part 2: Gone Critical
Early the next morning (8:53 am), U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ said "I warned you" and proceded to removed everyone from the group one by one. Coming back in the middle of this, Tyler questioned what was happening, but knew something should be done. He attempted to kick U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ to prevent utter destruction of the chat, but was kicked before he could do anything. The chat was destroyed. Or so we thought.

Part 3: Morning Fallout
After questioning U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ in private messages, Tyler discovered that U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ "wasn't a complete asshole" and that he had left one person to revive the chat. U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ said his final goodbye, to which U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ responded the iconic phrase, "bye felicia." The group fell back into the Operation: Lake Week chat to discover the chosen one. Assuming it was an inactive member, they attempted to revive all of the inactive members. Tyler and Chris lamented, Tyler claimed that he predicted this, and Chris complained that the group failed to assemble. As the group began to discuss what might have happend, Shai was revealed as the chosen one. Shai immediately repaired "squad.exe" and removed "the bug known as U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬." In memorial of the event, Tyler created a meme, pictured above. While the loss of U̷̍͜L̷̡̄ē̴͜ḱ̸̬ was a huge hit on the group, it brought upon us something we did not expect.

Part 4: Ben's Resurrection
While discussing the meltdown within Operation: Lake Week, a member that had been inactive for months suddenly returned. He had muted the main chat, and therefore never checked in, but he had not muted Lake Week. Thus in the chaos, Ben was revived and has returned to an active status.
