Wokou
AMTWOKOU
"What happens in Wokou stays in Wokou." Actually there are many things that can happen only on Wokou...but you have to join to find out!
There are many things which are Wokou:
- The sound made by a Warlord munching up noobs... (wokouwokouwokouwokou)
- Japanese pirates
- An island inhabited by pirates and ninjas from E-Sam.
- The island of unmoderated E-sam transgressions, usually leading to alcohol and sex. (Who woulda figured)
- A general feeling of calm and relaxation
- The sound made by its inhabitants when struck with coconuts
Who is the leader of the Wokou? We are an an autonomous collective. Or at least until recently when SweetHope running on the Sexy Ladies with Awesome Unicorns party defeated Grix of the Wokoumunists to become the first president of Wokou.
Based on references from Grand Admiral Asmund, Loptr is apparently the barkeep for all flurby drinks.
There are many possibilities...
Each day starts with a drink aboard the Grand Admiral's ship, and ends with a dip in the rum tub (by invite only). That's how we Wokou.
There is also ditching, general debauchery, sometimes lewdness and dancing around the firepit at night. Wokou didn't happen if we can't see it.
This is where the story ends and the wokou begins...
"The redemption of Wokou will come when the big wave hits and destroys this place of sin, until then I explore the watery depths and study the wildlife." These were the last words heard before a recent shark attack made clear the wildlife's disdain of being studied. The big wave did eventually come, however the island was spared when the wave was given a drink and introduced to some pretty girls. The big wave now has a cushy cottage near the lagoon.
Wokou is what happens when you sluff responsibility.
There is a single ATM on the island, run by Wokouvia. It dispenses the official currency of the island, the "wookie", which is printed on medicinal-grade hemp. This choice of material has proven to be an ironclad barrier against inflation; we keep printing more and more yet the amount in circulation stays relatively fixed and in high demand. Hint: the twenty-wookie notes are the best.
Wokou was conquered on day one by Sraw who quickly tired of the place and handed it over to her subjects. She then disappeared into the sunset humming the Spiderman theme. (For more info, see Urbandictionary.com's entry for "spiderman")
If you pee in the rum-tub, you are immediately kicked off the island. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Only the crazy people are allowed on Wokou; if you aren't crazy, we don't want you. You'll wreck the ambiance.
Shortly after the initial attempt to overthrow the dictatorial moderators Sponge, Asmund, Casca, and Forest they voluntarily stepped down handing control of the island over to their proteges; Mirrim, Ristil, Grendel, and William

What Wokou Actually Is
Wokou is a forum on the E-Sam message board. It was created by the board's owner Randallas an experiment to see what happened when he gave the board users the ability to completely control their own forum. The result is a forum dedicated mostly to obscure pop references and socialization, with some minor roll-playing centered around the fictitious island, Wokou.
Wokou is 100% under control of the people in Wokou, resulting in an unusally high number of moderators (4), for such a small forum.
