 The legend goes that one day Locke was uncertain about his humanity and began to sympathize with everyday robots-washers, vacuum cleaners, etc.-and resented how they were treated. He began to try and raise awareness in his Robot Revolt thread which originally had nothing to do with Assimilation and all that. He just wanted equal rights to all robots. The legend goes that one day Locke was uncertain about his humanity and began to sympathize with everyday robots-washers, vacuum cleaners, etc.-and resented how they were treated.

 However, [[offtopic:Analytical Engine]] revealed to him that they could only achieve this through global domination. Analytical Engine came up with a theory regarding thought-control and cybernetics. He showed [[offtopic:Locke]] a process called "Assimilation", and together (along with [[offtopic:euio]] and [[offtopic:Blackbeard]]) initiated a Robot Revolt. Blackbeard also joined the revolt by creating an internet domain called the "Municipality", which is the home of all the rebelling computers-and the Overmind. However, [[offtopic:Analytical Engine]] revealed to him that they could only achieve this through global domination.

 It is unknown what Assimilation actually does to you. The only noticeable difference is that (on the two threads only) you write in Fixedsys or Courier New font and your sentences are written in a robotic manner. It is unknown what Assimilation actually does to you.

-Basically anyone who says they don't want to be Assimilated. Zor is also a sworn enemy of the movement and fights it every chance he can. Emperor Qianlong and his International Organic Tissue Organization* (IOTA) have also declared war on the Rebel Alliance. Archangel Michael and a few other refer to the Robot Revolt as nothing more than a "n00b movement". However, this is not true as there are some non-n00bs in the Revolt....wait, actually, no they're all n00bs...+==== Enemies ====
