t gang is a group founded in September 2020, initially devoted to spamming "t" in chat. The group now focuses on building large builds and projects at their bases. t gang was founded by a group of four friends, Dawnfall_, theduckynerd, Chan34, and an unknown player. The group was originally devoted to spamming "t" in the chat, which became quite a popular phenomenon around October 2020 when the so-called t chains went on for hours at a time. This was because the founders who were also in real life friends used to spam "t" in each other's direct messages before they joined 2b2t. Three of the four founders became inactive quickly while Dawnfall_ continued to lead the group. Later on, the group became more focused on building and events on the server, though the t chains are still done sometimes to remember the past. On the day of the group's founding, theduckynerd streamed himself on a voice call going on a highway as far as he could. He then proceeded to exit a Nether portal into an ocean, swimming until he hit land. He found an island with a chunk error near the beach, leading to the name Waterchunk Island, and beginning the base of the same name. They decided to build around the natural chunk of water in the middle of the island, yet the base was still mostly underground. Gent_2, who was found by Chan34 and Dawnfall_ on the highway, started following the two and messaged them. This led to him being invited to the base, and he built a series of halls and rooms underground called "The Studio". Dawnfall_ also met a player named MarlonTT in the chat who showed Dawnfall_ a cool lavacast build. Marlon then gathered a lot of obsidian and designed and built a mini replica of the bedrock comet out of obsidian at the base. theduckynerd found a small stash a couple hundred blocks from the base. This was used to give gear for the members using the new dupe that had been released to the public. (Full article...)
