T gang

t gang is a group formerly devoted to spamming t in chat and now focuses on building large builds at their bases.

Founding
t gang was founded by a group of 4 friends, Dawnfall_, theduckynerd, Chan34, and an unknown player. The group was originally devoted to spamming "t" in the chat, which became quite a popular phenomenon around October where the so-called t chains would go on for hours at a time. This was because the founders who were also in real life friends used to spam "t" in each others direct messages before they joined 2b2t. Later on the group became more focused on building, and events on the server but t chains are still done sometimes to remember the past.

Waterchunk Island
While in a voice call, theduckynerd streamed himself going on the highway as far as he could. He then proceeded to hop into a nether portal, then swam until he hit land. He found an island with a chunk error near the beach, leading to the name Waterchunk Island and also the beginning of the base of the same name. They decided to build around the natural chunk of water in the middle of the island, yet the base was still mostly underground. Gent_2, who was found by Chan34 and Dawnfall_ on the highway, started following the two and messaged them. This led to him being invited to the base, and he built a series of halls and rooms underground called "The Studio". Dawnfall_ also met a player named Marlon in the chat who showed Dawnfall_ a cool lavacast build. Marlon then gathered a lot of obsidian and designed and built a mini replica of the bedrock comet out of obsidian. theduckynerd found a small stash a couple hundred blocks from the base and this was used to facilitate the base's construction and provide PvP gear for the members using the new dupe that had been released to the public. The group received building materials from Mr_Douchebag from the group TSA and the Yet Another 2b2t shop so that they could dupe them. They would dupe many wither kits and create withers under highways with the t gang discord link, and some of those withers got featured in a youtube video that was garnering a lot of attention resulting in many people joining. Dawnfall_ built quartz walls and a gold beacon bridge at the base around November as well. The basemates also had a habit of AFK fishing together before they duped any items. Many of the members joined from members simply being friendly in game, in chat, etc. One day, many lowercase t structures were blown up and/or turned into uppercase Ts. Many things in the following weeks were slowly getting found and destroyed due to the bases proximity to spawn. Eventually, Jude1331 convinced the rest of the group to take their kits to an area far away from spawn to dupe them, so the high ranked members moved to a new base. The base was officially abandoned in December but has still not been griefed completely to this day and occasionally members will go to it to check out passing players and to see the status of the griefing.

Camp Lighthouse
In December of 2020, after Waterchunk Island was abandoned, Dawnfall_ would found Camp Lighthouse after learning about HermeticLock's World Famous Spawnbase. With the help of some new players he found at spawn, he would build his lighthouse on a hilled island. He also invited t gang members, and later on the leaders and members of the Lost Nomads to the lighthouse. One day, Dawnfall and another new player were working on the lighthouse when suddenly Dawnfall_ got disconnected. During the period of time when Dawnfall_ was offline, the new player, spencetrooper, would blow up the lighthouse with a TNT shulker that was at the base. Dawnfall would then post the coordinates on the reddit receiving 2K upvotes for his work. Construction of Camp Lighthouse v2 would begin with __Omni, a leader of the Lost Nomads, and CodeTitan, a former (now retired) member of t gang.
