Piedmont

P, Piedmont, Piedmont Knight, officially Mr. Â̸̄f̴͊̕t̶̊̑o̵̐͋ñ̷̃ is a member, former moderator, and former President of the Hoivengers Discord server. He is currently on probation and allowed on the server but has been stripped of former roles.

Piedmont originates from an app called Aminoapps (An app where most of the original Hoivengers members are from). Piedmont was known for squabbling with Corn and creating/sharing alternative history maps. He created the official Hoivengers Minecraft Server and was one of the most active users on the Hoivengers Discord Server.

Origin
  Just like a few other original Hoivenger members, he is initially from an app called Aminoapps. On Aminoapps, Piedmont went by many different names, such as ' Dr. Freeman'  and  'Captain Germany'. However, these names have been retired, and has since adopted the alias Mr. Â̸̄f̴͊̕t̶̊̑o̵̐͋ñ̷̃.      

The Hoivengers
Piedmont is one of the original members of the Hoivengers, having been one of the initial members Pyro invited to the Hoivengers Steam Group. There, Piedmont created his own Crusader Channel in response to Corn's Communist Channel. It remained active until the Hoivengers Steam Group migrated to Discord.

       

Tenure as Hoivenger Moderator
In early April of 2021, Piedmont migrated to the Hoivengers Discord Server. There, Piedmont and Xi were granted the position of moderator by Pyro in early April of 2021. Over his tenure as moderator, Piedmont chiefly censored Pog's spamming episodes and was responsible for banishing people to the Hoivengers Purgatory. Piedmont remained a moderator of the Hoivengers until the position was abolished by Pyro on the 19th of July, 2021.

Confederation of the Hoivengers
On the 19th of July, 2021, Piedmont established a new Hoivengers Discord server, titled "the Confederation of the Hoivengers". This rebranded server initially served as a continuation of the defunct 'Hoivengers - Discord Sect', albeit with altered principles. Pyro reaffirmed Piedmont's leadership of the new "confederation" on the 22nd of July, 2021.

Main article: Deposition of Piedmont
On the 4th of August, 2021, Piedmont conducted a controversial "cleansing" of the Confederation of the Hoivengers. According to Piedmont, the motivation behind his "cleansings" were to forestall any outsider attempts to sabotage the Hoivengers. Shortly after his first "cleansing", Piedmont's paranoia led to him to conduct further mass-bans.

In response to Piedmont developing megalomania, the "HoIv Resistance" led by Pizza began to undermine Piedmont's power. The group successfully wrested Piedmont's authority over the Hoivengers on the 8th of August, 2021. Due to his nefarious actions, the pseudo-euphemism "P" was used to refer to Piedmont until his return in December. In November, Piedmont recognized his past behavior and apologised to Pyro and Pizza on Discord and on Aminoapps.

Return
In response to Piedmont's apparent contrition, Corn held several polls to decide whether to bring Piedmont back into the Hoivengers - Discord Sect. Because of low voter turnout, the first, second, and third poll outcomes were invalidated. On the 21st of December, 2021, a conclusive fourth poll took place, which resulted in a 4-0 vote in favour of Piedmont's return. After nearly five months, on December 29th, 2021, Piedmont was welcomed back into the Hoivengers Discord Sect.

Since his return, Piedmont (or Mr. Â̸̄f̴͊̕t̶̊̑o̵̐͋ñ̷̃) has remained active and chats regularly, but has been on probation and does not participate in Hoivengers multiplayer sessions.

Departure
On the 10th of February, 2021, Corn revealed that Mr. Â̸̄f̴͊̕t̶̊̑o̵̐͋ñ̷̃ had announced his intention to part ways with the Hoivengers, citing the 20th of February, 2021 as Mr. Â̸̄f̴͊̕t̶̊̑o̵̐͋ñ̷̃.'s "departure date".

Main article: The Great Server
  On the 23rd of May, 2021, Piedmont created a Minecraft Server for the  'Hoivengers - Discord Sect'. The server was reset later the same day due to a bad spawn biome (Desert). On the 6th of August, 2021, Private Pizza took ownership of the Great Server after it was taken over by the HoIv Resistance Group.                 

Rivalry With Corn
During the time of the Hoivengers Steam Group, Piedmont began intermittently clashing with Corn over their political views. Relations were uneasy and reached an apex during the NSFW Controversy, in which Corn was banished to the Hoivengers Purgatory for posting NSFW content in #general. Pyro blamed Piedmont for "egging on" Corn's unacceptable behavior in this incident.

Since Piedmont's fall, relations between the former frenemies have somewhat normalised, and Corn's chief rival has been replaced with Xi.
