Central Family

About
The Central Family, also known as The Centrals, is a primarily ROBLOX focused group founded by MissouriCentral (Jacob G.) in 2016. The group currently holds 31 active participants, whos usernames consist of a state, province, or city of their choosing, followed by 'Central'. These band of friends has grown over the years, exploring different military and FPS style games and groups, usually together in order to gain a sense of self-sufficiency and entertainment.



Membership
Over the years, the group has gained and lost members due to activity issues or internal disputes, however some do leave due to more important issues such as life. Admittance into the group requires an initiating period where a person must participate loosely in what the group is doing at the time, follow a set of minor rules--particularly in the Discord server--and behave in a way that isn't seen as annoying or radical. Unless someone is willing to donate to their cause, each member is responsible for changing their username in order to be completely recognized. There are also a handful of non-members who tag along.

Honorary Central refers to a Central who is named after a city.

Structure
While mostly for organization's sake rather than power, the family does uphold a basic rank structure.

Central
Your bog-standard gun slinging cowboy. Regular Centrals make up the main body of the groups structure.

Chamber of Lords
The council (Chamber of Lords) is comprised usually of veteran and competent Centrals whos job is to vote on major decisions such as swearing in a new Central member, or in some cases, exile someone.

Duke of Belgrade
Essentially the assistant principal of the family. Their job is to lay down the hammer and enforce the rules if necessary, announce major server events, etc.

Queen
First-hand advisor to the king, essentially has too much power than they need. They cook the meals and does laundry.

King
The owner and overseer of the family, has the final say on everything.

Controversies
Due to the number of genres the family has participated in and the character of the members involved, the Centrals have over time built an image that is both positive and negative. Some allegations and in-fighting has led to instances of blacklisting and collapse of affiliations and friendships.

During the active periods of the Civil War Community, the Central family typically preferred to stay together in which ever side they chose. Along with the games ability to stack weapons for continuous fire, led to complaints from multiple players. It often became the case where one team would become overpowered against the other, not helped by the addition of the Statesmen Militia. One instance of this led to a confrontation and skirmish between opposing families known as the TLincoln Incident. Allegations of misconduct and immaturity against the Centrals led to instances of kicking and at one point entirely blacklisting the family from participating in the community. Often touted was that the Centrals are power hungry and ignorant, whether or not these are valid are based on who you ask. Fortunately, the Centrals have also been seen as being a useful asset in combat, something that the family has been known to excel at.
