| * Eternal Battle: Having fought multiple times before, Hood and Karolus decided to see who was the boss. The results were inconclusive, as neither could do much damage to the other, and the fact that they were both, in a sense, immortal. They fought for the rest of eternity, until the universe disintegrated. They then finally killed each other, which created the big Bang. However, neither really died, but they did become the creators of the Second Universe. Both idiots claimed victory afterwards. | * Eternal Battle: Having fought multiple times before, Hood and Karolus decided to see who was the boss.

| | ====What came after the Ban Threads?==== |
| | |
| | As you might've guessed, the Ban Threads are pretty much dead. However, a spiritual successor of sorts to BTRP has emerged in the form of the [[shared_worlds:ATL Meetup]] threads - much of the Ban Threads' regulars have become regulars there, and the character rosters of the two RPs somewhat overlaps. |
