'''THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE''' ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY.

In this context, "Sage" comes from the [[Japan|Japanese]] ''Sageru'' which means to lower. In the context of forum posting it means to add a post to a thread without bumping up the discussion.

They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.


===Roleplaying Archetype===
== CHANNELS ==
Sages are a common archetype in roleplaying games, whether as PCs or NPCs. They are typically intelligent characters who have access to a wealth of information and come from academic character classes, usually [[Wizard]]s or [[Cleric]]. Some editions of roleplaying games specifically cater to such character archetypes and give us classes where the maxim "Knowledge is Power" is a very real mechanic for them. In other sytems however the archetype can fall away to uselessness, though it really depends on the ruleset being used.
The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.


Therefore the result is [[Prestige Class|Prestige Classes]] such as the '''Loremaster''' which was a default class to aim for back in 3rd edition when base classes offered very little. The same edition also gave us the [[Archivist]] core class, which is considered [[Tier System|top tier]] in its own right.
== EVENTS ==
The VINESAUCE MEME events that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong YTP scene. These events would involve VINESAUCE-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't!  They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.

The Sage (or Savant) is a catch-all term for a very wide category of Inquisitorial Henchmen.

This includes a huge variety of individuals from varying backgrounds in the Imperium such as the [[Administratum]], [[Adepta Sororitas]], [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] or just random dudes who happen to be particularly clever. They are often biologically augmented with increased mental storage and processing power; other times they are trained from a particularly young age to become peers in their field, or just sometimes they happen across bits of information that are too sensitive to be revealed to the population at large and get enlisted into the Inquisition as specialists [[Blam|"or else"]]. They are used to aid the Inquisitor in tracking down their foes. Often they are also useful for calculating trajectories, communicating with local populations and translating ancient texts. They are also used to predict enemy movements. (Or to rig the odds in chance games in seedy gambling establishments when accompanying a [[Ciaphas Cain|famous Commissar]])

Sages usually come from three types backgrounds, but the list is not exhaustive.
GRAND DAD IS LOVE
*'''[[Adeptus Mechanicus]]''' - If an Inquisitor needs someone clever, their first port of call might be to the priesthood of Mars who can provide a '''Lexmechanic'''. This is one of the lowest ranks of the Martian priesthood whose job it to compile and analyse information for entry into the datastacks, but they will have been cybernetically enhanced for increased mental capacity and processing power. At the opposite end of the scale, some high ranking tech priest may choose to become experts in academic study rather than applied sciences, effectively becoming Sages at the pinnacle of their career.
GRAND DAD IS LIFE
*'''[[Orders Dialogous|Sister Dialogous]]''' - Members of the Adepta Sororitas who are trusted to have the mental fortitude to be able to deal with blasphemous and/or xenos materials. They are some of the most learned individuals on esoteric subjects in the entire Imperium.
GRAND DAD WILL CONQUER THIS WIKI
*'''[[Administratum|Autosavant]]''' - Are an unusual case: In the 40k universe there exists a mental disorder where adepts become obsessed with the collection of data to the point that they are considered to have contracted some kind of disease or meme-virus. For such a person, the collection of data becomes an addiction and goes into the same kinds of withdrawal symptoms when deprived of fresh information for too long and are often wellsprings of useless trivia that they feel the urge to share at the slightest provocation. While they may not be as enhanced as a Tech Priest, or as focused as a Dialogous, they will certainly be able to sniff out and uncover any fact when given enough time and resources.

THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are not official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).

They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.

CHANNELS

The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.

EVENTS

The VINESAUCE MEME events that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong YTP scene. These events would involve VINESAUCE-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.

In later years, an event known as GRAND FEST was hosting PREMIERES for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC 69, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.

HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES

Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition. Note that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE seem to have been most active between 2012 and 2019.

  • GRAND DAD 2: SPASTIC BOOGALOO
  • GRAND DAD 3: THE GAUNTLET OF ASS (FEATURING SMOL NOZOMI, TITO DICKMAN, SPONGE, HE THICC, and SANS UNDERTALE)
  • GRAND DAD 4: GRAND DAD IS GOD
  • GRAND DAD 5: DEATH TO 1D4CHAN

GRAND DAD IS LOVE GRAND DAD IS LIFE GRAND DAD WILL CONQUER THIS WIKI FOR MEMES FOR VINESAUCE AND FOR SILVAGUNNER
