Spawn Infrastructure Group

"Underneath that blanket there is technically a disorganized group of neutral people who avoid PvP and provide humanitarian services. These Neutral players are the ones that plant and maintain melon farms for starving players. They also can be seen around spawn trying to restore resources to the wasteland."

- Coltsnid

Spawn Infrastructure Group (SIG) was a highway and infrastructure group that consisted of over 70 members that built and repaired the highways of 2b2t and Constantiam, aiming to "make the lives of the player base of these servers lives easier." All of SIG’s time was spent working on highways, both creating new ones and repairing old ones all over the vast wasteland whilst also creating awareness of the state of the highways. SIG also worked on overworld infrastructure that was not specifically made for travel, for example, The Southern Canal and outposts that players can rest at near spawn.

Any 2b2t and Constantiam players, new and old, could have applied to become a member of SIG, offering an opportunity for all to learn about the ways of the highways and how to maintain them.

On March 10, 2021, Coltsnid posted a statement on the The Vortex Coalition (VoCo) subreddit announcing that The Vortex Coalition was being disbanded. As a sub-group of VoCo, the SIG discord was deleted shortly after this announcement.

Ranks and Leadership
The current ranks in SIG are as follows:

Captain

Guardian

Prefect

SIG+

SIG

Builder

Worker

Initiate

This was the main chain of progression, players could have become an initiate by filling out an application and could have purchased higher ranks using VoCoin. By having a higher rank, it would have accounted to having more trust in the group, as well as gaining a higher daily VoCoin reward by using the >daily command. Members could have checked the cost of each rank by using the >ranks command in the SIG discord.

The staff ranks in the group are as follows: Owner - The Owner or The Supreme Leader of the group who made all the final decisions. As SIG was a subgroup of VoCo, Coltsnid was The Supreme Leader of both groups.

Sr Management - Each member of Senior Management had an equal amount of power and control over SIG.

Management - Management was just below Sr Management and members acted as a stand-in to Sr Management.

Project Managers - Project Managers managed all of the project and building operations.

Moderators - Moderators kept the discord running smoothly by managing chats and keeping them clean and tidy. They were separate to the SIG staff team and had influence in private and public SIG matters.

Relations
SIG was a neutral group, thus doesn't get involved in political 2b2t issues. The group had one goal, and strides to accomplish everything possible in order to make 2b2t highway travel, spawn travel, and survival for all players easier. But enemies of voco were considered enemies of the SIG.

2017 - November 2019
SIG was created on November, 18th 2017. It's original purpose was to serve as an information hub. The same day, there was a post made on the subreddit. Over the next few days, SIG organised multiple spawn meetups that kick-started rapid growth for the group. SIG continued to monitor operations since then and has created big things on the server, the most notable being the 12.5k nether ring.

During the month of December, SIG started posting "12 days of SIG memes" on the 2b2t subreddit in order to gain attention and members. The posts got on top of the subreddit for the first few days until the moderators started removing SIG memes from the subreddit.

Activity continued for a while until activity started to die down. On December 28th, 2017, VoCo acquired SIG and took over executive operations from that point onwards. There was a short-lasting burst of activity until activity started to degrade again. On February 2nd, 2018, Casterly took a three month break from 2b2t. In order to keep the group running, Casterly passed discord ownership to Coltsnid and gave the Operational Manager rank (the person who ran the group) to Adriano1804.

On November 24th 2019, the SIG discord was nuked by its Operational Manager, Adriano1804, causing all channels and roles to be removed and leading to all members to be banned from the discord.

SIG Chapter II: December 2019 - 2020
On December 7th, 2019, the SIG discord was restructured and revitalized with new roles, management and staff, beginning a new chapter in the group.

No players are currently building highways under the SIG banner deeming it inactive on 2b2t.

On March 10, 2021, Coltsnid posted a statement on the VoCo subreddit announcing that The Vortex Coalition was being disbanded. Being a sub-group of VoCo, the SIG discord was deleted shortly after this announcement.
