Key people | The Council |
The Hollywood FIFA Thugs, also known by the self-deprecative name "L Gang", or simply referred to as the Romos, is a group of Romanian-Americans originating in South Florida. It is led by a three, sometimes four-piece Council acting in the shadows.
History
Disc Golf Saga
At the beginning of 2021, the group became interested in disc golf and proceeded to play regularly.
Sometime this year, Jesh was sentenced by the Council to build 25 chunks of Minecraft content.
Gaslight Ban Arc
In November 2021, the Council passed a motion to put a temporary ban on Gaslighting upon discussing the tumultuous amounts of gaslight experienced at the time (particular that which came from Jesh).
One Piece Saga
In the year of 2022, a few L Gangers started watching One Piece.
Later in the year, Bryan's Minecraft server, also used by the Romos, was attacked in an event known as the Turkish Grief, which motivated Bryan to research the means by which he may carry out Justice.
Joshing Arc
In 2023, Josh started to eat more food. This was first called a "bulk", but later became known as "joshing". Although circumstances differ, joshing began to spread to other people and thus the joshing arc had started.
One day, Josh ran from his house to the beach, through flooded streets, terrorizing the streets regardless. Later, the Council was inspired by this feat and voted to deploy an anti-joshing operation in preparation for Thanksgiving joshing; on November 21, they ran ten miles in a Sisyphean effort to enact anti-joshing measures. With 2 miles left, Josh got ice cream while Bryan got a coke float.
Prominence II RPG Arc
Flav started a modded Minecraft server in 2024, which the jits were also invited to participate in. The goal of this server was to concentrate builds and lore into an archipelago of islands. It was on this server that Bryan nearly completed the first full cathedral build in the history of the group, ultimately failing due to the closing of the server.
The bathhouse incident
Tensions rose when Pete found an anonymously authored book warning him that his building permit would be revoked. This culminated in the well-known Who wrote the book? meme.
Culture
The group draws from many influences, including its origins in Romanian and American cultures respectively, as well as Internet memes in recent times.
Archetypes
The Council
While the Council indisputably has a large influence over the group, the mechanisms by which this occurs is mysterious.
The Joker
Jokers are those who throw curveballs or wrenches into plans.
Memes
25 Chunks
The sentencing to building 25 chunks on Minecraft is a type of punishment bestowed by the Council roughly equivalent to real life prison labor.
Extra Cheese on Them Nachos
Extra cheese on them nachos originates in 2020 when members of the gang started betting meals on sports matches. Bryan bet Alex an Ale House Mountain Melt that the Miami Heat would win the finals in 2020. At the same time, for a currently unknown reason, Josh owed Alex nachos with "extra cheese on them". There have been many variations of these bets since they were first made, many pertaining to either NBA or NFL games, with one having been wagered about whether or not Eren hates Mikasa (Attack on Titan).
