Upon his return,
Odysseus finds that multiple members are attempting to take his title of Leader, and they are vying for the support of his second-in-command,
Penelope. He finds his apprentice,
Telemachus, who has risen to the rank of Senior Member during the time Odysseus was gone, and they agree that the other members must be banned. Odysseus gains the support of two of his moderators, Eumaeus and Philoteus, and they prepare the
banhammer for a massacre. Meanwhile, Penelope, hearing rumors of Odysseus’s return, holds a contest for the members, claiming that the winner will hold the title of Leader. She demands they free-hand a portrait of themselves shooting an arrow through twelve bronze ax-sockets in
MS Paint, and only Odysseus is able to do so, disguised as a Guest. Revealing his true identity by logging onto his main account, Odysseus proceeds to ban the entire member list,
sparing only those who did not attempt to woo Penelope. He deranks his third moderator, Melanthius, to Junior Member, and then proceeds to delete the account, as Melanthius had helped the members instead of him. Twelve of Penelope’s apprentices also had their accounts deleted, as they had been on the friends lists of the ambitious members. Satisfied, Odysseus sends a private message to Penelope, who recognizes Odysseus from
the olive tree in his signature. Odysseus takes back his leadership, and
Ithaca.net is at peace once more.
