	After joining the Union, the group changed its name and its theme to the Pirate Dinosaur Alliance. The group mainly stood as the roleplaying community in the Union. However some of its members refused to accept the Union constitution and acts of harassment were observed by Union officials. Captain Hoeflers4 was warned that if his members were not able to follow the rules of the Union, [[LBP Union Peacekeepers\|Union peacekeepers]] would be forced to take action. Hence some members of PDA held a resentment for the LBPU administration for not allowing them to act in such a way that would be perceived as bullying.

	It was during this period that a conflict between another Union clan at the time, [[Taurian Concordat]] had tensions with PDA after a roleplay incident gone wrong. The specifics of the story are unknown, but most counts regard the issue stemming from a game freeze intentionally or unintentionally caused by Hoeflers that caused Sevi to lose unsaved work. The Concordat left the Union for the Remnants Union after the LBPU administration was unwilling to support them in their argument with PDA.

The Concordat left the Union for the Remnants Union after the LBPU administration was unwilling to support them in their argument with PDA.

	Eventually in the fall of 2014, Captain Hoeflers was approached by an old friend of his named CROSSBONES-4 who expressed negative opinions of the Union to him, and asked him to leave. Hoeflers called a vote in the matter blindly, and after he realized the mistake he had made, he was unable to call off the vote. Those members who were upset with the rules they had been placed under before by the LBPU got the rest of the clan to follow them and voted to secede. Captain Hoeflers voted to stay.

The clan started a long time ago as the Autobots, a smaller organization based around Transformers. They were a state of the [[Remnants Union]], a multi-clan alliance, however they failed to make this fact known to the public. This led to the confusion which sparked the LBPU/RU Flamewars in the Spring of 2014. After the LBPU extended its hand to invite the Autobots to join, President XFinal_IsaacX was infuriated, believing that the LBPU was attempting to steal their member states. After tense debate, the Autobots decided to leave RU to join the LBPU. This directly led to the aforementioned conflict in the Spring.

			== Political Standing ==
			The Pirate Dinosaur Alliance historically has been rather divided on political beliefs. Notably the administration usually has been Pro-Union, but a few of the members are Anti-Union for unannounced reasons. These members seem to spread their beliefs through the clan when they can by unknown methods, likely verbal.

			Anti-Union activists in the Alliance are very devoted to their cause, but do not explain why they oppose the Union. In a recent meeting between President M88youngling and Captain BumbleBurke, it was revealed that PDA opposes the Union Task Force's ability to engage trolls in a tactic known as "Rating Warfare." President M88youngling encouraged them to rejoin the Union in order to push for a proposal to restrict the controversial tactic, but PDA has since avoided Union affairs entirely instead.

The Pirate Dinosaur Alliance [P.D.A] is an independant maritime monarchy based on pirate and sci-fi themes. Led by Captain Hoeflers4, it stands at about fifteen members and has been a major source of clan interest for some time now.
==History==
The clan started a long time ago as the Autobots, a smaller organization based around Transformers. They were a state of the [[Remnants Union]], a multi-clan alliance, however they failed to make this fact known to the public. This led to the confusion which sparked the LBPU/RU Flamewars in the Spring of 2014. After the LBPU extended its hand to invite the Autobots to join, President XFinal_IsaacX was infuriated, believing that the LBPU was attempting to steal their member states. After tense debate, the Autobots decided to leave RU to join the LBPU. This directly led to the aforementioned conflict in the Spring.

After joining the Union, the group changed its name and its theme to Pirate Dinosaur Alliance. The group mainly stood as the roleplaying community in the Union. However some of its members refused to accept the Union constitution and acts of harassment were observed by Union officials. Captain Hoeflers was warned that if his members were not able to follow the rules of the Union, Peacekeepers would be forced to take action. Hence some members of PDA held a resentment for the LBPU administration for not allowing them to act in such a way that would be percieved as bullying.

It was during this period that a conflict between another Union clan at the time, Taurian Concordat had tensions with PDA after a roleplay incident gone wrong. The specifics of the story are unknown, but most counts regard the issue stemming from a game freeze intentionally or unintentionally caused by Hoeflers that caused the secret leader of Taurian Concordat, Sevi, to lose unsaved work. Taurian left the Union for the RU after the LBPU administration was unwilling to support them in their argument with PDA.

Eventually in Autumn of 2014, Captain Hoeflers was approached by an old friend of his named CROSSBONES-4 who expressed negative opinions of the Union to him, and asked him to leave. Hoelfers called a vote in the matter blindly, and after he realized the mistake he had made, he was unable to call off the vote. Those members who were upset with the rules they had been placed under before by the LBPU got the rest of the clan to follow them and voted to secede. Captain Hoeflers voted to stay.

The LBPU Minister of Foreign Affairs CCSocalGamer decided that all assets to PDA should be cut off and they should recieve no further assistance in any manner due to this.

PDA now remains independant of alliance organizations and its current status is unknown.
