On 31 May 2021 prop laid down the law for the Discord: “Playing Fortnite is a bannable offense”, and everyone should “play valorent instead” 1 2. Minutes later he handed Fili a “fortnite kid” role, promising it was “permanent till he is active in fortnite” 3 4.
Fili protested within days. Having quit Fortnite, he asked to “shoo the fortnite kid off me” 5, but the title stuck anyway.
By November 2021 it had become a running gag. abi announced he would welcome everybody “with open hands unless thier naame is fili”, and threatened to grief if Fili turned up 6 7. kira later posted a bulletin of his own:
fortnite kid is evolving 8
Prop’s “play valorent instead” turned out to be good advice. Valorant became a big part of the group, with its own Discord category, events and roles by 2022 (see The Valorant Era) 9.
