Spectrum Rangers

From PhallaWiki

The Spectrum Five, also known as the Spectrum Rangers were conceived out of the Spectrum Five meme. The Spectrum Five meme referred to a series of highly-unsuccessful pre-game networks headed up by TehSpectre, usually appearing is Disgaea games.

Despite its namesake, the meme popped up in non-Disgaea games, such as ones involving giant robots or colors. Survivors have been retrieved after some games gibbering about a weaponized rainbow, nicknamed the Spectrum Cannon, which usually follows a full Spectrum Reveal. [1]

This meme finally found refuge during the original Disgaea main, and many lolz were had due to it fitting thematically. They were considered a joke by the players, as they had in previous games. However, they attempted to use the Dark Assembly to change their win condition into a shared survival condition. They did not succeed, and their failure was dubbed the 'Spectrum Curse'.

There were five members in the beginning, the Spectrum Five. They were B:L, TehSpectre, Psychocucumber, Infidel, and Zot.

The Rangers returned in the Disgaea 2.5 main, with Infidel being the only returning member. AdventFalls, Gumpy, FunkyWaltDogg, and Delmain were the new recruits.

With the offer of membership, Mr Blarney made a fateful decision, and the unthinkable occurred on the second day.

The Curse was broken. The Spectrum Rangers were finally their own faction, complete with a survival win condition.

This proved to be a near game-breaking move, as Delmain was actually a Hero of Justice and provided them with a list of his teammates.

When they were revealed to have finally succeeded, the village immediately attempted to bandwagon them and kill them. In his haste, AdventFalls contacted the village network head, El Skid, in an attempt to placate the village with the promise of the list, with two mafia members provided as incentive.

Deciding to make lemonade of his lemons, the only surviving member after that day, Infidel, told El Skid that Advent had over-promised while contacting the Hero of Justice Burnage to declare a truce.

Several shenanigans later, Burnage declared victory with the following message.

' And lo, a hero of justice, with heart pure and like tempered steel, did descend to the worlds of the nether. And there he slew many a demon, but in his quest for vengeance he himself was slain. Yet he did rise again in glory, to lead his men to victory, and they forever more called him-'

'Burnage Von Glovefuck'

The Heroes of Justice won the next day, along with the Spectrum Rangers. The game thread can be found here. [2]
