Guardsmen

The Guardsmen is a well established group dedicated to building bases and organizing projects.

History
The group was founded in May 2020 by HermeticLock, TheDark_Emperor, D_loaded, and Orsond, after Hermeticlock left the SpawnMasons. It was set up as an 'exclusive' invite-only group, which expected members to behave 'dignified' within the 2b2t community. Just like in the Spawn Masons new members undergo a private 'initiation'. Tho the group overal follows the same model of non-intervetion as the Spawn Masons.

The group originally revolved around a big area roughly 40k from spawn called The Homeland, where the grouo would set up multiple bases and projects. The first base was called the Mesa Homeland and included buildings as the Arc de Triomphe and orsond's library. The base was griefed on may 25th 2020 by The Emperium. In the following months new structures would appear at the area, including a giant nomad hut, the 'Angel of Dignity' and the Statue of Liberty. In june a second base was set up called the Desert Homeland, which included an obsidian tower by orsond and a desert themed castle by Yarnamite. It was griefed soon afterwards by the Highland. The thid base Mountain Homeland was established nearby and consisted of a few small houses, towers and a port. It was soon griefed. The group also tried to rebuild multiple bases in 2020, including Aureus City and King's Landing. In august the group set up a major project called the Obsidian Labyrinth, in collaboration with Fight Club host Forceken. It involved the construction of a giant obsidian labyrinth near the Homeland filled with five Elder Guardians. As part of one of the Fight Club events players were lured to the location, only to be trapped inside and not being able to escape due to the 'Fatgue mining' effect the guardians caused. The project was covered by Fit. In october the group set up a Haloween-themed base near the Homeland called Camp Spooky. It consisted of different Haloween themed builds including Zetrax's Sky House, the Stay Away Sign, a giant slime pit and two pumpkins. For the base special 'spooky' kits were duped. Many members of other groups including Crimson Star, Shortbus Caliphate, Teslic and DonFuer were invited. The base was griefed on october 21th. In december the group in collaboration with Shortbus Calpihate and members of DonFuer and Fight Club set up the base Adamantium. The base consisted of multiple structures, including an Adamantine forge by Joey Coconut, Sakuya's statue of Todarac, Zetrax999's Establishment HQ, Franknificant's Fredericks church, 0Channy's Turtle, Lunch_Katsu's tower, SBC Hill, Joey_Coconut's gate, Rathaus's steam-shovel, Joey_Coconut's and JSR's bees, Joey_Coconut's Guardsmen bridge and Poyraz_Kaptan's Pagoda. it was griefed on january 18th by WomenAreObjects. After Adamantium multiple bases were founded. The first, Whistler, was founded on March 16 in an ice spikes biome somewhat near the Homeland. Many builds were constructed in a weeks time before the base was griefed by JSR4. Soon thereafter the group started the base Mediano, an ocean biome with multiple Ocean Monuments. The base was found by Franknificant who invited the base uninvited and build a replica of his Notre dame Build. Soon thereafter the base was griefed by [BSB. A third base called Bloxico was set up near the Homeland, and was constructed mostly underground. It was made public for the group's 1 year anniversary event. In august internal disagreements led to orsond leaving the group and starting his own group called Pact. He also tempoerarily rebooted the Watchmen, with a player named Sleuthy. The 'new' Watchmen 'conquered' the Homeland by killing Guardsmen members and griefed a Guardsmen base called The Crypt, which Joey had recently set up near The Homeland. It resulted in a 200k+ structure called the Watchmen Citadel, which represented 'Larp' culture on 2b2t and therefore had a statue of Joey Coconut at the top. Soon orsnd returned to the Guardsmen, leading to many members including Joey Coconut leaving the group. The group is currently semi-active.
