'''The POOP Group has evolved through many different Skype groups... too many to remember! But here are the main 4: '''

It all started back in the day of Friday 23rd of August 2013 at aprox 6pm. 6 future members of PG were at Multiplay's Insomnia 49 to meet the Yogscast (Katie, Hannah, Gemma, Oli, Dayna, Imogen). It had been a great day for everyone and at 6pm a Yogscast meet and greet started. By now the queue went all the way down the hall and down the stairs and still growing. A girl called Gemma Walker and her friend of devian art, Imogen Wright were in the queue just at the bottom of the stairs when th ey realised they needed to check something to do with the lines, a boy behind offered to keep their place. When the girls got bac <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">k t <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">hey started talking to this boy, his name was Oliver Smith or Redtrade as we now know. A girl in front was listening to their conversation and decided to join in, she was here with her mother and had brought lots of gifts for the Yogscast. She was Katie (Davetta Yognaught). The 4 people were getting along very well when one of the officials asked for all the people in the queue with a band (people who had not got into the last meet and greet) to come to the front. Oliver was one of t <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">hose people so the girls bid their farewells as he went to the front of the queue. By now Katie Gemma and Imogen were half way up the queue, outside the main stage door. Soon Oliver came back very excited after meeting the yogs. The girls waved and it would be a long time before they heard from him again. Katie, Imogen and Gemma got inside the meet and gree <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">t room and decided to swap twitter names so they could keep in <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">contact, they all had 3G so did it quite fast. Soon they got to meet everyone and people went home / to hotels.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">The next day Gemma and Imogen got in early, Katie bump <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">ed into them as she entered the main exhibition hall. Gemma and Imogen told Katie they were going to meet their other friend off DA, Dayna. First the girls walked around the hall for a bit, then they met Dayna at the entrance, she had brought her big sister Georgia with her too. They all went round the exhibition together, that was when they saw Sjin just by the Jinx stand... they all got photos. At this point Gemma and Katie went upstairs to buy a smoothie and Dayna and Imogen lined up to get a shirt. Katie and Gemma went upstairs to the cafe and bought a smoothie (which turned out to be disgusting and neither of them wanted it) then they went into the lan hall to look at fancy PCs. Most of them just has really cool lights but one guy had repaired his PC with polystyrene and parcel tape! The girls met back outside the Jinx stand and 2 of the girls bought some stuff from the tuck shop. Katie's mum had been saving spaces for the girls at the Starbound and Yogscast panel in the <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> main hall so at 12pm they headed over to catch the Fyre UK panel while they were there but had to nip out to <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">meet Area 11 outside Gametee half way through. The girls were 4th row back and really enjoyed the panel. Next they  went to a meet and greet with Martyn outside the International Centre. After they caught SkyDoesMinecraft and Sips walking around. Katie told Sips that Gemma drew on his shirt and they were enjoying conversation when Turps came and hurried him off. The girls tried to queue up for the Yogscast meet and greet at 6pm so they would not have to queue for so long but they couldn't as the line did not open until 5:30. In the meantime they played a game in the board games section next to the queue-to-be. A guy came up to them while playing and asked to join in... it was Martyn L <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">ittlewood's cousin in law! Though he did not know Martyn... his dad did. The group lost track of time and before they knew it the queue was 3 times the size of the corridor from the meet and greet to the stairs. They went to the back of the line and waited for 2 hours with each other before they finally got in. Now it was time for sad goodbyes.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Dayna, Katie, Imogen and Gemma kept contact on twitter, tweeting each other regularly. Eventually Oliver Smith decided he wanted to find the group again as he did not really have any friends, he searched through endless photos till he found Gemma and traced it back to her twitter. Gemma and Redtrade started playing Minecraft together on Redtrade's friend's server (his twitter, Skype and Minecraft name is Redtrade). Soon Gemma wanted her other friends to join in so she requested that Katie make a Skype account, which she did. Katie then made a Skype group which she called Awesome Yognaughts. They all started playing on the server. Gemma and Redtrade made a castle called Fort I49 and everyone lived there then Katie moved out and built her own house out of sand and wood. The AY had a sleepover with Redtrade, Imogen and Gemma at Katie's house in December to watch the <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> livestreams. Gemma and Imogen went to Comicon in October and met Kim.

As soon as Redtrade found out that there was another boy on the call or on the server <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">he went mad! He kept having emo monologues and kicking everyone on the server. The girls started to dislike him. He started talking to Katie and Imogen about loving Gemma. He confessed this to Gemma after one of his breakdowns... 'I don't want forgiveness from you, only Gemma! Can you give me a special hug Gemma?' From this point on everyone hated Redtrade apart from Katie who would give forgiveness in return for quartz or creative mode <3 Katie added her friend Will to Awesome Yognaughts and eventually him and Redtrade got on ok, soon Dagny was added. She did not understand why we hated Redtrade so much as she had not lived through his angry breakdowns. Eventually Awesome Yognaughts began to fall silent as no one wanted to talk to Redtrade. Meanwhile Lewis had started another group call with his friends OLIdaWALLY and Alise. He added Gemma and Katie and Imogen from AY. Katie named the group 'POOP Group' after her tendency to say poop whenever she came online. It stuck. Lots of people left and joined the POOP Group (including <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">· tom gilbert <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-language: EN-GB">· <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> Hen ri ko :3 <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">· <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> Peter :P <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">· <span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> Declan Clark <span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-language: EN-GB">· <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> Cylver <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">· <span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> elianacrosby5 <span style="font-size:12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-language: EN-GB">· <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> gavin sellwe <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">· <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> Tom Scivier) and there has also been some argument over who created the specific group name of 'Turn That Frown Into Something Brown'.

The first POOP Group had an open rule where anybody could join and leave at free will. This resulted in a very large and unmanageable group. The original and more active people decided they were going to make a new group so they could get out of the busy PG 1. At this point lots of new groups were made by different people and Dagny left because we were 'being too mean to Redtrade' but we eventually settled with Oli's group, POOP Group 2.0: Slop <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">py Seconds (excrement of the universes was added near the end of 2.0's life).

Lewis, Katie, Oli and Gemma were present on this call.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">2.0 lasted from 1st of January 2014 to the end of March when a lot of new people were added. The first Rule of 2.0 was to ask before you add. We did not want more than 10 people. We did not want it ending up like the first PG. At first Oli added Katie, Imogen, Gemma, Lewis, Alise and Dagny. Lewis persuaded him to add Redtrade to make up for emotional damage cause by PG. This was done and POOP Group 2.0: Sloppy Seconds began. There were regular calls and people enjoyed company apart from the occasional bit of drama. At one point Oli added a girl called Shaylyn. That night Katie said she was having organic chicken for dinner to which Shaylyn replied 'all chicken is organic'. This begun the legendary chicken argument which lasted several hours and ended <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> in the retreat of Shaylyn after Katie pestered her and would not give up (one of the bad things about Katie). A feud between Oli and Katie also broke out about Oli 'not liking Katie's personality' He would repeatedly kick her from the group if she spoke. This happened every so often on the POOP Group until one night in March Oli punched a wall and told Katie to die of cancer and quit PG. Our initiation and theme song was created about here but that is for POOP Group ears only ;). The POOP Group met up at EGX Rezzed where Katie, Lewis, Gemma, Rebecca, Hannah, Redtrade and Alise met Simon and Lewis from the Yogscast. Lewis had recently told Gemma he loved her then gone out with <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Alise 5 days later resulting in Gemma hating Lewis and only hanging out with Hannah and Katie. This was also the first appearance of Gerald the dolphin at a convention where Katie, Hannah, Gemma and Gerald got interviewed live on the Twitch at Rezzed stream (http://www.twitch.tv/twitch/b/515270885 at 8:13:47). Shortly after this Hannah got found out, she had not covered her head at Rezzed and was banned from human interaction for a long time. As a result of this lots of new people were added to the POOP Group. Katie was not happy with this and renamed the group to POOP Group 3.0, Shaylyn added This Is The Shit.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">The 3.0 is now almost a month old, Katie's birthday present from Gemma dolphin Geraldine arrived. Katie blew her up and drew eyelashes on her. She also melted one eye with nail varnish remover and had to draw it back on with tipex and marker pen. I51 was held in Coventry at the Ricoh Arena. Katie lives very near to there so a sleepover was arranged for Lewis, Gemma and Imogen to come round for the convention. Gemma and Gerald had just gone skiing and were coming home till late so did not get to 151 until 3pm with Lewis, who was driving them (Gemma and Lewis had made up and were planningnnah for which he has been suspended (temporarily kicked) till further notice.

At Rezzed Katie looked after the dolphins most of the time and they got 2 dolphin interviews: one on the main stage and the other by streamgasm.
