BattleClanArea5 is a competitive league of clans centered on competition through LittleBigPlanet community games, as well as various non-LBP PlayStation Network games.

Overview

Unlike traditional e-sports, BattleClan Kingdoms have bitter rivalries that manifest into fierce interactions and conflicts with one another, as well as alleged foul play such as hacking and doxxing.

Competition

Teams within the BattleClanArea5 community are known as 'BattleClans' or 'BattleClan Kingdoms'. They compete in a variety of different games. On LittleBigPlanet, they primarily compete in x-spam, Ransack, sword dueling, and 'arm wrestling'. The community also competes on other PlayStation Network games like Minecraft, Call of duty, and Yu-Gi-Oh.

Kingdoms in the BattleClanArea5 community compete for standings based on the points that they attain in conflicts with one another. Kingdoms may challenge one another to battles and tournaments with varying numbers of participants. Victories in battle can attain a kingdom 100 points, while defeats cause them to lose 100 points. Tournament victories come with a reward of 600 points for the clan.^{[citation needed]}

The Akisuma Treaty

The Akisuma Treaty is a special provision of competition within BattleClanArea5. Participating kingdoms who suffer defeats are required to give up losing competitors as prisoners to the winning BattleClan. The number of members given up depends on the number of competitors and the number of matches lost by each member in the conflict.

History

Alleged Origin

BattleClanArea5 was allegedly first founded around 2009, however there is no evidence to support this. The community supposedly was kept private for many years. BattleClanArea5 was kept private until "tremendously negative impacts" led to it being abandoned in favor of a public version sometime around 2018.

Other BattleClanArea communites supposedly exist, numbering from 1-4 and also 6.

2018

BattleClanArea5 was active in 2018.

Erasure Fiasco

Sometime in June of 2019, GregoriusMachine sought to control BattleClanArea5 alongside DeadmanlO6. They began to target other players in BattleClanArea5 by allegedly changing their profile Earths dark, publishing a level called 'erased', and changing the player's description to "It has been judged. It has been erased." This came to be known as being 'erased'. There were many victims of this supposed erasure, such as AngelKingofLight, Godfreytheking, Gustaftheholy, HolyGilthunder, TheComedian2657, Tactical_Flame23, Guitarfox08. These players were allegedly unable to regain access to their accounts. They concluded that their account details had been hacked.

ZORC-TheDarkOne was also an alleged victim of erasure. However, he was supposedly the only one able to recover from the ordeal, as he was also a supposed hacker. As retaliation, ZORC challenged GregoriusMachine to a 'hack fight' where GregoriusMachine allegedly won. After this ordeal, GregoriusMachine planned for 'Operation Hell Day' where he supposedly intended to hack everyone in BattleClanArea5. His plans were stopped short when Tormenter_1st, ZORC's 'hacking partner', allegedly stopped him.

Related to this fiasco, a supposed 'hired hacker' named 'Breaker' allegedly gained access to GustafTheHoly's PlayStation Network account. Breaker supposedly tried to hack into TheTormentor_1st's account.

After GregoriusMachine was supposedly defeated by Tormenter_1st, an alliance breakup took place involving the Angels of Light, Horakhty Empire, and United Arms once they realized that GregoriusMachine was intending to control the entire BattleClanArea5 community. This was important because at the time, GregoriusMachine was the leader of the Angels of Light. With GregoriusMachine defeated, he was absent for two months. During this time, no erasures took place.

However, sometime after this period of peace,another supposed hacker named Ghostman allegedly began erasing players again. Ghostman was accompanied by Berushchiy and DeadmanlO6. They supposedly targeted BattleClanArea3, 4, and 5. However, little is known about their attacks on BattleClanArea 3 and 4. To handle this threat, PresidentAesir, the alleged owner of BattleClanArea5, managed to arrange a peace deal between BattleClanArea 4 and 5 to stand up to Ghostman and his accomplices. A series of battles took place between 'The Erasers' and the BattleClanArea alliance, and they were supposedly evenly matched. Ghostman and his accomplices began allegedly erasing the Titans in BCA5 such as SolinSphinx and Anererak.

Anererak's erasure infuriated ZORC-TheDarkOne, prompting him to challenge the Erasers to a 1v3 battle. Over the course of this conflict, ZORC changed his username several times. First, Berushchiy attempted to hack ZORC, but ZORC was supposedly the victor. Following this victory, ZORC changed his username to Zorc-AteYou. DeadmanlO6 was supposedly hacked next, leading to ZORC changing his name to Zorc-AteYouFast.

The Erasers were defeated in this conflict, and Deadman intended to finish the job by supposedly trying to hack everyone in BattleClanArea5 as GregoriusMachine wanted. However, Vargadian, the president of BattleClanArea5, returned and defeated him. In the end, DeadmanlO6, Berushchiy, Ghostman, and GregoriusMachine were each banished to BattleClanArea6.

Culture and Style

Content

BattleClanArea5 is unique among most LittleBigPlanet organizations in that it avoids creating substantial content. Most BCA5 levels are informational, consisting of basic hallways with notes to inform the player. BattleClanArea5 kingdoms are primarily focused on discourse and competition with one another rather than creating. As such, each BattleClan kingdom does not have its own creative style. Each group is instead defined by its status and ranking against other kingdoms. At most, each group is defined by its logo and its costume style, as well as the attitudes and personalities of their members.

Infrastructure

BattleClanArea5 maintains a PlayStationNetwork group chat to discuss its affairs.
