So Nick and his dedicated team worked around the clock, prodding the community behind the scenes to coalesce into the form they'd need. Using what they called "mental grenades", individuals and situations of such irredeemable stupidity they would create the necessary negative energy, things began to take shape.
First, the community had to be moved to a server specially prepared to magnify negative emotion. The real Eric Mylonas was assassinated and replaced with an NSA operative, who absconded with the funds necessary to keep the community - then called Gamego - running. They were forced to relocate to the TNL (Total Negativity Linkup) server.
Then, a series of mental grenades were dropped on the community to prod it into irrational anger: among others, the Opa Opa Sensibility Vacuum, the Lucas Barton Thread Mitosis Proliferator, the STFU N00B Sigil, and the ultimate weapon - the K.O.R.I.A.N. Device.
Finally, in 2004 the project reached its apotheosis. Enough negativity had been charged on the server that it now only awaits a final push to create the Irrationality Well, one last mental grenade to be dropped on February 13th, 2013, 13 minutes before the arrival of Superprojekt: Ragnarok.
And that's how Nick saved the universe.
