6th Incursion

Base of Origin: N/A

Spawn Bases: Gulag Spawn Camps (not official)

Estimated duration: April 3rd, 2018 - May 3rd, 2018

The Sixth Incursion was started by Sato86 on April 3rd, 2018. It was confirmed that AntVenom would be making a video on 2b2t that day, set to release at 16:00 EST. At that time, AntVenom, who has over 2 million subscribers, made a video called "The Face of Minecraft Anarchy" in which he explains the synopsis of what 2b2t is. In his video, he explains the good and bad sides of 2b2t, including a clear warning to his subscribers about the foul and toxic behavior of 2b2t players. The Incursion members called themselves rats.

Later that day, the 6th incursion began on the temp map, that was created because the new hardware was sometimes experiencing intense lag and Hausemaster wanted to port the map to new hardware yet again. A small End base was built by members of Spawn Masons, Emperium, Asylum, DonFuer, VoCo, NJHI, Fursecutioners, Team Veteran, and The Soviets on the temp map. A wave of "Ants" or "Antfags" joined the temp map following the video's release and server player counts were seen as high as 350+. The leaders of the 8 groups mentioned earlier planned for the incursion.

Back on the main map, the incursion fighting kicked into full gear. A few other groups decided to join in on the Incursion, such as the Imperialists. Members of the incursion decided to build an obsidian wall around 1k of spawn. The obsidian used to make the wall was obtained through slave labor camps at both nether and overworld (0,0) built by incursion members. New players would be captured and forced to mine obsidian, if they didn't comply they were killed. This was the first known time in server history where slave labor was used in a near-industrial scale. The Great Obsidian Wall was named the largest community project ever completed in server history.

But once the great wall of spawn was completed, many players who had previously been fighting alongside the rest of the incursion turned against it, and began to grief the wall with withers. Two notable griefers were IHackedWalmart who spent much of his free time killing Incursioneers, and Armorsmith who destroyed the Northen Wall and confronted several players such as Fit (resulting in the infamous "I GOTTA LOG GUYS" video). The incursion continued to kill and enslave new players even while fighting the protect and repair the wall, up until the end of the incursion.

14 million subscriber YouTuber PopularMMOs was also seen logging into the server during the incursion, he was killed at nether spawn by Virl. He claims he will not make a video on the server but is simply "having fun." The Obsidian Wall project around 1k of spawn was completed on April 24th, 2018. This was one of the main goals of the incursion.

The incursion officially ended on May 3rd, 2018, one month after it started, players counts were going back to normal by the incursion's end. The Incursion was considered a success, even though the obsidian wall has not proven effective due to being rather easy to get through.

'Slave' Labor
The 'Slave Labor' meme came out of the 6th Incursion. To call what occured slave labor is not accurate, as those that mined enderchests were often accepted into the incursion and geared as a result of their time spent doing so. The "Ants" (the fans of YouTuber AntVenom), were 'enslaved' in order to farm the obsidian that would enable the construction of THE WALL, a massive obsidian wall 1k out from spawn in each direction, from bedrock to world height.

AntVenom, a popular Minecraft youtuber, made a video featuring 2b2t on April 3rd 2018. An incursion formed to combat the high amount of new players, and ThebesAndSound had the idea to build a large obsidian wall around spawn. The incursion decided that they would get the obsidian for building the wall by forcing the newfags to mine heavily-duped ender chests. To get the newfags to not just do /kill, they would be paid for their efforts with gear, with many being accepted into the incursion.

Before the "Slave Labor" plan became official policy of the Sixth Incursion, Ants were usually killed on sight. But after the introduction of the new plan, Ants and other new players were captured at spawn, and put to work in the Gulag Spawn Camps. These camps were set up both in the Overworld and the Nether. The wall was completed in 2 weeks, largely do the the efforts of the camps, but it was slowed down by a small number of spawnfags trying to pvp with the builders, such as Armorsmith and househousehouse1.

The Great Spawn Wall would not last long, but it was a great achievement in community effort. Hundreds of players had forcibly been mining obsidian for it, and tens of people helped build and maintain it.

Gulag Spawn Camps
The Gulag Spawn Camps were enderchest mining platforms typically made around spawn in both the nether and overworld. They were prominent during the Sixth Incursion. At the 'gulags', the Incursion members would capture new players (typically AntVenom fans due to the abundance of them) that came through nether portals and gave them tools and materials in exchange for time spent breaking enderchests for obsidan. The obsidian was then used to make the Incursion wall around spawn. The most notable gulag camp was the so-called "Sky Gulag" near 0,0 overworld.
