NOTHING BEATS CHICKEN :3
Well, nothing that the ice bastards can offer you anyways :P
As to faction origins, here goes:
ONCE upon a time, there was EndMaster, the mighty God of Death who destroyed worlds after worlds, leaving nothing but the ashes of the once-great civilizations behind. And out of those ashes, two 'godly' beings were born, destined to meet and fight each other in a never ending battle to the death. They were Aman, the Mustache God, and BerkaZerka, God of Penguins (with mallets). And fight they did, while the mortals took sides/remained neutral/caused general chaos and watched the show. However, the mortals were not content with merely watching, and itched to experience the satisfaction of war and destruction.
Thus, a great man bestowed with new-found powers from the God of Fire founded the Pyro Faction. The God of Ice was unimpressed by this, and thus selected a special person to lead the Ice Faction to glorious victory. Like Aman and BerkaZerka, these two factions were destined to destroy each other. In the great Ice-Pyro War, the Pyro Faction, lead by Silverflame and consisting of me and Raywolf were pitted against the Ice Faction, lead by Lexi and consisting of Penguinsharpshooter and FeanoronForge - chaos ensued as Amy2, hugo and galobtter helped destroy both sides, Alvin summoned creatures of the Land of Imagination and Drakilian unleashed a terrible abomination onto the world, then waged war on Fireplay which ended in the destruction of the moon (correct me if I'm wrong.) EndMaster appeared just as Aman and BerkaZerka went into hiding, but both factions foolishly fought on, oblivious to the impending danger. Thus, the Pyro Faction was completely destroyed save for one person, and once again EndMaster left nothing but the remains of the world behind.
Sometime later, the Pyro Faction was revived by a plea to the God of Life, and with the new addition of eatsleepslay, it rose to be greater than ever to continue its destined battle with the Ice. And so it stands today, in all its glory, as does all the other neutrals/chaos sides. But the war seems to be on a hold for now, so enjoy these moments of peace while you still can, for it shall not last very long. (Nevertheless the Pyros are still recruiting, so I urge you to join :D)
