The Gulag

The Gulag is a group founded by c0mmie_ in late 2018. The group has no set goals aside from having fun.

Early History
In late 2018, c0mmie_ and a few other players went out to create a few bases, starting what would become the Gulag.

Gulag-Confederacy War
In the early days of the Gulag, one of their first bases, The Wither Skull Road, was griefed by a group known as The Confederacy. After MinorityCatcher was accepted into the Gulag, he leaked the base's coordinates to Freedom2b2t and The Confederacy, and they would grief the base. Following this, the Gulag was able to get Finn_Fry to inside the Confederacy and leak many of their bases to the Gulag. The war would eventually cool down, as a few months later, when Conquest griefed The Confederacy's main dupe stash. After this Finn_Fry would betray the gulag and many other groups doing only minor damage to the group.

Interwar Period
During The Interwar Period, the Gulag had very few enemies, and the enemies they did have were relatively unnotable. In this period, The Gulag became allies with groups such as Conquest, The Teutonic Order, and The Infinity Incursion, among others.

A player named TheDarkOne_2 nuked the original Gulag Discord server, which had around 300 members. The Gulag quickly recovered from this event. 3 other Gulag Discord servers would be nuked, but, The Gulag prospered and made new ones. The Gulag eventually had a falling out with the Infinity Incursion near the end of the fall 2020 Water Cube Project the Infinity Incursion had worked on. This was due to the Infinity Incursion's leader BachiBachBach kicking the Gulag's leader, c0mmie_, out of the Infinity Incursion's Discord server. This resulted in the termination of the alliance between the two groups.

Watchmen Conflicts
Conflicts with Watchmen began in February when c0mmie_ was told coords to an II event. In reality, this was a watchmen event and after a 20-minute fight, which can be seen here, ended in c0mmie's fight. After accepting the loss and moved on however, the Watchmen began to gloat about it which was annoying, so c0mmie waited for his revenge.

In late April c0mmie_ was invited to a GC that would later become the Anti-Watchmen, it turns out the Watchmen was planning to build another sky render, but this time as a Rickroll. A few hours after the anti-watchmen got coordinates to watchmen outpost, c0mmie_ began the assault killing over 12 Watchmen and destroying around 40k obsidian because of these attacks and many others, Beast_Machine would quit 2b2t and the Watchmen would disband leading to the end of this conflict.

The Team Rocket Nuke
After being allies for well over a year, Gulag members c0mmie_ and Frosty003 decided to nuke Team Rocket. They claim that gryxz had become increasingly self destructive and egotistical leading up to the events, with it being climaxed when iiGryxz leaked Frosty's plans to backdoor a hacked client. A few hours later c0mmie_ used his kick perms that he had to kick everyone in the discord as well as leak all chatlogs.

The One year war with the Infinity Incursion (Infinilag war)
The war between the Infinity Incursion and Gulag war, now known as the Infinilag war, lasting from August 2020 to August 2021 was a major conflict on 2b2t involving nearly every active group at the time. The war is highly controversial due to the infamy surrounding the two groups, the war was mainly between The Gulag and The Infinity Incursion, however many other groups participated in the war. The war ultimately ended with the Infinity Incursion disbanding.

Beginning of the war
In August of 2020, c0mmie_ was talking about ways to get rid of YouTubers and removing FitMC from the Infinity Incursion with c0mmie_ being shortly kicked from the group. It is not confirmed but theorized by some that he was kicked for not liking FitMC and calling out the group leader. Commie and many other members of The Gulag, as well as their allies, felt betrayed and felt that the Infinity Incursion sold out, this started the Infinilag War.

Anti Watercube Coalition
The Anti Watercube Coalition, was formed to combat the Infinity Incursion. The Anti-Incursion was founded by c0mmie, gh_joey, 8nothing, and maksitaxi, who over the past year had become enemies with the Infinity Incursion due to various drama that had taken place. The group utilized large obsidian clogs in the watercubes path to prevent creation of watersources, the most effective being Obby Casts - large lava casts that were covered in obsidian. One of many of the Obby Casts created a spawn

The Gulag Report
The Gulag Report was created by covfefe2020, as a satirical news source.

The Gucast
The Gucast was created by Frosty003 as a result of The Anarchy Podcast, a YouTube Podcast hosted by Fastvincent1, going inactive. the player decided to create The Gucast, which, like it's predecessor, has the goal of interviewing anyone possible and learning about their experience on 2b2t.

China
Coordinates: Unknown

China was the first base the Gulag would ever make, located roughly 100k out. However, while the base was under construction, a player by the name of SadieLee found it and started griefing. The Gulag would then fight SadieLee, making him log multiple times until a screenshot of the base was put on r/2b2t. The coordinates are sadly lost to time.

According to c0mmie_, the base had an unfinished underground section that was meant to become mined out and turned into the main area, similar to the Boedecken. He also claims that most dirt was replaced with birch wood and had an upside down pyramid.

Wither Skull Road
Coordinates: -240511 -112150

The Wither Skull Road was the Gulags' second base. It was given its name after c0mmie_ tried to make a wither cage but failed. The base was one of the largest bases the Gulag ever made. It was griefed by the Confederacy, leading to the Gulag-Confederacy war.

Valley of Ender Chests
Coordinates: 10k -10kIn 2019, Gulag members c0mmie_, theboss24611 and jnyhh built the Valley of Ender Chests. The base was a “copy” of the recently made Valley of Crafting Tables and Valley of Glowstone. The base was visited by digmc in 2020 and is known for the immense fps lag that is generated when you go there.

c0mmiegrad
Coordinates: 2437 -121

c0mmiegrad is a large obsidian dome with a pyramid in the center. The base was first designed on a private server hosted by aternos.org and was then built on 2b2t. The base took around 1 hour to create, while the watercube took around 12 hours to make as the Gulag had to manually mine all of the ice they would need.
