Overview

The "Version B" of Member OG 5, started following the death of Member OG 5: The MPVP Strikes Back. It was the shortest in length but took longer then the original to die. Some posts were recycled from the first MOG5, but with added twists. After the OG failed at VGF, it was moved to the Gamehiker Forums. It was propelled further on by the return of Fred, but that was not enough to save the OG.

Afterwards, Yami attempted rebooting the entire series as Member OG 1.1. But eventually Member OG 5 was completed after being revived as Member OG 5: Secret of the Ooze (thus rendering this story non-canon).

Plot Summary

The OGers have all gone their seperate ways since Member OG 4. But a mysterious new threat has arisen in the form of DarkMario and his Russian Mailmen. Rhyk came back to life, just as in the first Member OG 5, and leaves to seek out the TASTS. It turns out that the pen itself is in the possession of DarkMario, while the Timeband is protected by Isis and Moondo (although a rubber band of some importance is later shown to be owned by an American kid named Cal).

In the meantime, GORE-ILLA has travelled to Coruscant to meet with the Jedi Council in another recycled post from the first MOG5. He found that the Jedi would not take him in again, and that his place was with the OG Six. GORE wandered confused. In the original MOG5, he then came to the realization that the other OGers needed him, so he returned home. But this time, DarkMario seduces GORE in his confused state, and convinces him to join the Russian Mailmen. GORE uses the spirits of the Party Goers to help himself hide from Fred and Greatluigi when they join up with DarkMario while having all intentions of betraying him.

Eventually all the villains betray each other, and chaos ensues in the Russian Mailmen HQ. GORE uses the spirit of Masamune to split into two, sending one GORE to meet with DarkMario while the other battled Fred and Greatluigi. In the meantime, the other OGers (Introbulus, SwordMaster, Jim and Black Skull Dragoshi) engineer an attack on TWIFATIT agents to save Cal and retrieve his rubber band. BSD is captured in the process, so the OGers decide to find BSD and Yami Yoshi.
