'''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]]).

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.

Tend to wear cool uniforms. Even GDI will agree to that.
The VINESAUCE gaming events that The GRAND DAD Fugitives held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong homebrew scene.  These events would involve Tempus-Fugitives-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 Fugitive Fest was hosting play sessions for [[GRAND DAD Fantasy]], [[KING FOR ANOTHER DAY]], [[GRANDmachine]], [[HE THICC]], 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 Fugitives seem to have been most active between 2007 and 2013.

Brotherhood of Nod is a Terrorist Organization/Freedom Fighter Group that appears in the series of PC games of Command and Conquer franchise. They begun as numerous terrorist groups, private corporations, religious sects, and mercenaries that have combined to form a para-military power rivaling the global superpowers. Initially, Nod capitalized heavily on the Tiberium research and technology, using their capability to use it for resource harvesting to quickly gain financial advantage over opposing forces. Through bribery, weapon dealing, and plain old fanaticism/reaching out to the poor, needy, and downtrodden of the world, Nod have created a power-base that allowed their leader, Kane, to begin a war to bring down the governmental structures all across the globe in the mad dash for power/freedom and respite from the tyranny of the corrupt and militarized western government. Despite the Nod's constant failure to bring down GDI's control of the world (no thanks to their leader's constant love of giving Ion Cannon blasts a good hug), Nod holds a sizable presence on the outskirts of GDI's territories, festering within the nations that the GDI is incapable to assist due to lack of resources/gathering the faithful for the final strike against the entrenched, stagnant evil of the GDI's oppression of the world.

Technologically, Nod is a lot like Cobra from G.I. Joe. Except, you can actually take them seriously - and you probably should. Nod's ranks are filled with fanatical meat for the grinder/loyal servants as well as dangerous, deranged, and cruel individuals/those who are capable of using any resources in their reach to further the Kane's cause. In addition to their covert and espionage capabilities, Nod holds control over such technologies as Visual Stealth, Tiberium and Laser Weaponry, as well as direct access to otherworldly technology rumored to be originating from the alien race of Scrin (a half-confirmed assumption, really). Also Cyborgs and AI, which have ended up going all Terminator on collective human asses, before they have been eMagged through correct use of explosives.
