Vortex Coalition

The Vortex Coalition (sometimes referred to as simply VoCo) is a large group of players who build, battle, and meme on 2b2t and in its community.

History
The Vortex Coalition was founded by Coltsnid and AmericanOreo in early June 2015. The official date of its founding (June 15, 2015),

After deciding to begin the formation of The Vortex Coalition, Colt and Oreo began advertising the group. This sparked alot of hate from alot of players due to them mainly spamming the chat and not having done much. Eventually people began to realize that the VoCo was a meme, and Sato86 made a comment on them

In its early days, the group had relatively few members (with the exception of common newfags joining the group due to advertisements). This wasn't helped by the fact that 2b2t only had ~40 active players at the time

While the VoCo had a small amount of players, it got a large player count because of its easy to join and lenient nature during the late half of 2015.

The Vortex Coalition was not as active during the first half of 2016, and consequently suffered a loss of members and relevance. However they began to increase in activity just before TheCampingRusher joined the server, who subsequently brought hundreds of players onto 2b2t. With the influx of new players ready to make their mark on 2b2t, and the group's policy of accepting anyone regardless of being a newfag/oldfag, The Vortex Coalition was able to recruit far more members than they ever had before.

The Vortex Coalition has remained relatively peaceful during their existence, not antagonizing other groups, and declaring themselves a noncombatant third party in the Rusher War. They are neutral with many groups and have began to become allied with some of them. They view PVP as "pointless" and the vast majority of their members do not partake in PVP at spawn due to most VoCo members not being very good at it.

The Vortex Coalition eventually went on to create its own website, youtube channel, and subreddit. This allowed the VoCo community to expand. VoCo also made memes as for the most part, the group was a meme group.

The Vortex Coalition has built ~365 bases (although the logistics of this number are up for debate, Coltsnid claims this is an estimate), which are spread throughout the 2b2t map in all quadrants. Most of these are small outposts that serve as "checkpoints" for members to set their bed and possibly farm/autofish. Some, on the other hand, are large, active bases that can have up to 15 members. During 2016, The Vortex Coalition created their own take on the Wrath Outpost, which they built overnight. It was unfortunately destroyed within days of its creation during the 5th Incursion. They have also created a large amount of memes mainly residing on the 2b2t subreddit.

Trivia

 * Did you know? The Vortex Coalition is responsible for the "Did you know?" meme due to the group's bot.Spawn Squad.png
 * Did you know? The Vortex Coalition has a spawn squad, featuring many member's alternate accounts, that is ready to log on in mass at anytime. With this system in place, VoCo can have an army at spawn within minutes.
 * Did you know? The Vortex Coalition spawn base is at x420 y69 z911, and currently features the ruins of an obsidian megastructure built there, known as "The Wrath of VoCo."
 * Did you know? The Vortex Coalition is known for possessing several alt accounts, and because of this, can be just about anywhere on 2b2t at anytime.
 * Did you know? The Vortex Coalition accepts both new and old players.
 * Did you know? The Vortex Coalition official motto is: "The Vortex Coalition is an elite group of players dedicated to making 2b2t a better place". However, this is a meme, and was specifically designed to trigger those who are not fond of VoCo. One cannot truly change the tides of anarchy.
 * Did you know? The Vortex Coalition has created many bases and destroyed others, organised over 15 members to get online at the same place all at once, they have had up to 30 players logged into 2b2t at the same time, they have utterly destroyed 4 different smaller groups, and they are the reason The 4th Reich exists.

Relations

 * Team Rusher - The Vortex Coalition is currently neutral with Team Rusher. TheJadyha confirmed this when he asked VoCo members about videos containing raids on Rusher settlements. The raids turned out to be staged and so the two groups remained neutral.
 * Team Veteran - The Vortex Coalition is neutral with Team Veteran (despite some oldfags looking down on VoCo)
 * The 4th Reich - The 4th Reich was brought into the public eye because of The Vortex Coalition after the VoCo vs 4th Reich War. The Vortex Coalition recently ended the war and the two groups are now allied.
 * The PeaceKeepers - Allied.
 * Team Pepsi - Allied
 * Team Aurora and The Resistance - Neutral

VoCo II and Fall of VoCO
The beginning of the end for the Vortex Coalition began when Gamma Base and their lag machine being leaked in the 2b2t chat.

In January, the Vortex Coalition started getting banned unfairly by the admins in the 2b2t Subreddit. This caused some drama, however only the Vortex Coalition was actually supporting, since most people are glad to see the subreddit finally cleared of VoCo members. This is followed by the hacking of the VoCo site by HermeticLock as revenge against Coltsnid who leaked DonFuer's Capital City to Babbaj.

The Vortex Coalition first disbanded on January 13th, 2017, when a supposed fight broke out between the hierarchy and the hacking of the website and take over on the discord. This caused Coltsnid to no longer care about VoCo. Alot of VoCo members saw this and brought it up with Coltsnid, who decided enough was enough and deleted the discord and posted an official disbandment post on the 2b2t reddit.

Coltsnid later founded VoCo II in an attempt to revive it and was very close to revival as the discord had more members than the previous one (this was due to Coltsnid relentlessly advertising the discord link on the subreddit and chat). The discord was once again disbanded as Colt sold it to Hermiticlock (DonFuer) and so it remains dead.

VoCo now currently lives as a meme and a shell of its former self as several VoCo members left, the whole group system is broken, and Colt and Oreo simply post VoCo related images but are simply intended to be memes rather than group praise on their former discord. Former members were forced to be on the VoCo life raft and the reformed former discord where now Coltsnid no longer is in charge of the discord.

Former members have now broken off the dead VoCo and have created new small groups like Singularity and Paranormal.
