Mahlists

Summary
The Mahlist movement was a terrorist organization, operating under the Change Party during Potter's World DOM. During their existence they would make notable political enemies such as the Freedom Party and even Potter himself. While they no longer exist to their fullest extent, they have a short but extremely prominent and important history within World DOM, as not only a prominent political movement but also a revolution. They are known for their radical outlook, and above all else, their famous coup against Potter.

History
Mahlists, led by Mahl were and still are one of the most prominent movements in World DOM, founded during the peak of the Change Party. Though the no longer remain in World DOM due to the coup, many players are skeptical that there are still some Mahlists that remain in World DOM. While this theory is unproven, it isn't very far fetched. There is clear evidence that prominent players such as Doggy and some others still clearly support Mahl.

During their time in World DOM, depending on the player you asked, you would get wildly different questions on the views and player outlook of the Mahlists, although they were extremely unpopular. Immediately, they would make themselves known enemies of the Freedom Party and their leader Robbur, being the exact opposites of the Freedom Party in every way. The feud would become one of the biggest political moments in World DOM history. That being said, things were not going well for them, as Robbur and the Freedom Party had most of the support, either directly or indirectly. It was widely known that much of the reason for this is due to the lack of sensible candidates, since Mahl was the direct competition, despite Robbur's radical views, many would see it better than the anarchist outlook of Mahl's ideal World DOM.

It wasn't long before the tide shifted against the Mahlist movement, they were beginning to dwindle and become desperate against the more popular competitors. Many parties began aligning with Freedom, weather they liked Robbur or not, Mahl knew that they had to act soon or be destroyed by their enemies, along with this many of the Change Party were breaking off from the party due to Mahlist antics. Mahl had began planning his coup, taking around 3 weeks to set everything in place for the upcoming coup. Mahl and his supporters had begun their coup, while it hadn't looked bright from the beginning, it quickly failed within an hour and a half, as noted by Potter. Any and all accounts involved with the coup were permanently banned from World DOM. Some say this marked the end of Mahlist influence in World DOM, however many Mahlist sympathizers remained, and would attempt to carry on the beliefs of Mahl. While the exact goals are unknown, it was obvious to many that the Mahlist movement was getting desperate, and would make one final attempt to regain their power.

Values
With the sudden rise of power with the Mahlist movement, many players were shocked by the pure extremity of the policies that Mahl and his followers had planned to enact. While many of their beliefs were extremely radical and outlandish for experienced and new players alike, that didn't stop him from gaining a loyal group of supporters, which players dubbed Mahlists. The most famous of their values being the abolition of staff, which is what many competitors used against the movement, however the values and ideas of the Mahlist movement were much deeper than that. When Mahl was asked how they would defend against raiders and griefers with no staff, he said that he would give out free admin to every active player that stood with the Mahlist movement, to create communal defense force. However, many critics noted that this would cause chaos and abuse from within the player base, which would eventually lead the the collapse of World DOM.

While there was a time they were extremely unpopular among the community, they wanted to extend the rights given to the basic player, calling for the player base to have a voice after World DOM's democracy was disbanded, but their popularity still declined. As they were just settling into World DOM, Mahl would begin his plan to overthrow World DOM's current leadership and create their own version, however while many of the credit goes to Mahl for this coup, it is thought that many other Mahlists were involved, some are rumored to remain in World DOM to this day. This coup led to their collapse, although there are still some who carry the torch even to this day. After their attempted coup, Mahlists were declared terrorists and anyone who publicly admits to being one will be punished.
