The Basement

I can't get over that 5000 people watched me debug shitty code for 3 full hours on stream today. I'm increasingly realizing that my viewers are insane, or trapped in my basement and forced to watch, or both

Description
The Basement is a large underground complex beneath Douglas Wreden's house, next to the Grocery Store. It is the unwilling home of all of his Twitch and Youtube viewers. The Basement claims its victims through the The Joke Hole. The Joke Hole serves as a portal to and from the Basement, though it is very rare for a victim to climb back out of the Joke Hole as it is guarded by spiders.

Allegedly, Doug has been feeding victims of the basement via a 'Food Tube', but most of this food is destroyed while being fought over.

The Sectors
The Basement is made up of sectors, each with their own unique community. The sector a new victim is sent to is decided by the first letter of their Twitch username or real life name. Every sector is either inside Zone A or Zone Z.

Zone A
Zone A is reputed as the more chaotic of the two. The Mario Party character of choice here is Waluigi and the food here is all Guy Fieri recipes.

Sector B
This entire sector is filled with a 5 feet tall pile of ball pit balls. Cardboard cutouts of orcas lurk throughout this sector, swimming through the ball pit ball sea and terrifying unsuspecting victims. There is also an alarming amount of bees in this sector.

Sector C
This sector is home to most of the chefs of the Basement. Most residents of this sector are depressed, due to the Explained with Food series being over.

Sector E
This sector contains the only exit out of the Basement: the Joke Hole. It also harbors a large nest of spiders which guard the exit. The majority of Sector E residents are part of the Spider Cult, worshippers of the spiders.

Sector F
The residents of this sector worship Fat Albert like a deity. The entirety of the floor, walls and ceiling of this sector are covered in Fat Albert posters. They also have their own game studio, Sector F Studios, which developed the game Douggle: Agent of Chatlantis.

Sector J
This sector contains a fake escape hatch built by Doug to trick his prisoners. This escape hatch, according to DougDoug Discord member RevJimJones#8744, leads to Jerma's meat grinder. It is also where the basement rats' nest resides.

Sector L
This sector is where the cult of Moth Nation resides. Moth Nation worships everything involving moths and worships Doug (despite his murder of a moth) and moths. Everything in Moth Nation is adorned moth engravings and their shrine is a singular table lamp with Doug's face taped on it. Moth Nation attempted to settle Sector M but were fought off by Crew Z.

Sector M
This sector acts as a battlefield during the periodic wars between Teams A and Z. It contains crumbled structures that remain as evidence of frequent but failed attempts to settle the land. When war is declared, the sector will fill with banana fire and the stench of hot sauce fills the air. Sector M is not considered a residential area by both sides, though some live there as scavengers in hopes of finding something that will give them enough oxygen to live the rest of their lives comfortably.

Zone Z
Zone Z is known to be more dangerous with significantly more insane residents. The Mario Party character of choice here is Wario and the food here is all Gordon Ramsay recipes.

Sector W
This sector is filled with pictures, carboard cutouts and body pillows of shirtless Wario and Waluigi. Most residents of the sector do not know how to speak and instead say "wah!" all the time.

The Neutral Areas
Some sectors of The Basement are neutral, either too dangerous or spiritually important to be claimed by either side or bad enough that nobody wants them. Some say the near-dead remnants of a crazed cult known as the Number Gang live in these parts.

Sector 9
Sector 9 houses The Colosseum, where members of Twitch Chat have been forced to fight each other to the death. This also happens to be where most of the few A-Z alliances have been formed, making it a grand monument of peace as well as war.

The Minecraft Server
The Minecraft Server is located somewhere within the Basement.
