Infrared

Phase I (Inferno): Late October 2017 - January 1st 2018
Inferno, (now known as Infrared), was founded by a player named Rustbound in late October 2017. A very good friend of Rustbound, named Retronautx, helped start the team. Retronautx invited some of his friends on the server to the team, including Metrez and IHackedWalmart. Rustbound recruited members at spawn to help grow Inferno, such as JoSaZa and Kilmax.

A group named Eden came to Inferno asking if they would like to ally, and Inferno said yes. This was cut short because the leader of Eden suspected that Inferno was insiding them. Once Inferno had about 5-10 members, they made a headquarters approximately 500k blocks out in the overworld. The headquarters lasted a few weeks until a conflict begun between VoCo and Emperium (known as the Vo-Perium war). One of the high ranking members in Inferno named Racewizard was an insider from the Emperium, who leaked the coords to the headquarters after Inferno sided with VoCo in the war. Alongside the headquarters, a base named Paragon was also leaked to the Emperium (Inferno claimed the base as their own).

Around this time, Retronautx and Rustbound were also having issues which resulted in Rustbound leaving Inferno, and left Retronautx in charge. Due to the insiding and griefing, Retronautx called for reform and Infrared was born.

Phase II (Infrared): January 2nd 2018 - Present
Infrared resented the Emperium for griefing their headquarters along with other bases such as Paragon. Infrared was invited to join the United Group Embassy by Emperium, and Retronautx managed to get coordinates to the Embassy base. IHackedWalmart griefed the embassy, which gave him lots of negative attention. The UGE now hated Infrared even more for griefing their base. Metrez betrayed Infrared for the UGE and Emperium during this time also, warning the UGE of the grief.

Highland and Infrared were now allies due to a common enemy, Highland was also a considerable portion of Infrared's army at spawn. Infrared is now a rebellion of sorts against the UGE and Emperium as the two sides continue to fight. Two members of the Infrared council, name Lex and Frrost, were sent by Retronaut to inside Emperium. Lex and Frrost raided the Infrared public discord in order to show Emperium that they had indeed betrayed Infrared. The Alpha Alliance was formed (around late February 2018) between Infrared, PK, and Highland to rival the United Group Embassy. Alpha Alliance mainly thrived on the temp maps, as on the main map these groups did not work as well because of seperate goals and projects. AntVenom made a video on 2b2t which resulted in an influx of new players. Infrared saw this as a good recruitment opportunity while rivaling the 6th incursion.

Co-Leader IHackdWindowsXP discovered the incursion's spawn camp at Hermeticlock's spawnbase when the incursion members were baiting new players telling them there was food. IHackdWindowsXP griefed it knowing it would be repaired soon after, to his surprise he came back a week later to find it had not been repaired. During one of FitMC's spawn streams with the incursion, IHackedWalmart and littlebammbamm attacked Fit and the others; However, they were outnumbered by the incursion and Fit ended the stream during battle. Infrared continued to plan attacks on Fit, Emperium and the 6th Incursion. On April 18th, 2018, dabigbulletz638, a high ranking highland member who had inferno rank in Infrared, was kicked from the group for being a complete cuck to low and high ranking members. In response to this, dabigbulletz638 leaked Infrared base coordinates and Highland was lost as an ally. Infrared was able to recover from this betrayal as they have many times before.

Lex and Frrost_Bite now went in for the kill and Infrared planned on griefing the Emperium gamma headquarters. Unfortunately, Emperium found out about the grief and withered the base before Infrared could arrive to grief it. Afterwards Lex was welcomed back into Infrared for Insiding Emperium, and remaining loyal to her long time friend Retronaut. A day after FitMC released his video on the wall built around spawn by the 6th Incursion, IHackdWindowsXP, IHackedWalmart,and Armorsmith (Allergy) spawned withers at the top of the wall. This got the attention of FitMC and he made a video with the rest of the incursion swarming IHackedWalmart and StormerPro600 as they tried to make sure the incursion were unable to rebuild it. Luckily, the withers were attacking incursion members as well, giving them a distraction. Both IHackedWalmart and Stormerpro were simultaneously being attacked by withers and the incursion. Eventually, IHackedWalmart and Stormerpro retreated. Losing the battle after all the withering did not matter, it was an effort to stand up to the not needed incursion.

Infrared has since become and invite only group. When Armorsmith announced Armorstate and decided there was going to be an elected president through vote, Retronaut ran for president and won the election making him the president of Armorstate. Since then, the most trusted in Infrared were going to build a base with Armorsmith, the base they were going to build was cancelled because the coordinates were somehow discovered by the enemy and the base was postponed. Infrared later betrayed Armorsmith due to his demanding attitude and his delusional behaviour, Armorsmith banned Retronaut before he could ruin the Armorsmith's followers discord server, Infrared betraying Armorsmith also goes to show how not many even like Armorsmith and that he can't keep an alliance with a 2b2t faction.

After the death of the 2b2t museum Infrared attacks two bases in two days. The Freelancer HQ is destroyed by Retronaut, quj and Lambo_Veneno, members who try to defend the base were killed or had to log, in response to this the Freelancers declare war on Infrared making them the Freelancers first official enemy. The Team Eternity HQ is griefed the following day, Retronaut griefes it with maxtorcd55 (on his Killet account) and IHackdWindowsXP (arrives later on), all members trying to defend the base are all killed by Retronaut due to them not being able to pvp, later on IHackdWindowsXP kills Ultimate21Alex the leader of Eternity.

Relations
Infrared ranks highest to lowest:
 * Rainbow - Strong Allies due to a friendship between Retronaut and Brayin (leader of rainbow).
 * Highland - The two groups were once allies due to a common enemy, however Highland betrayed Infrared and the two groups are """somewhat neutral""".
 * The Eyes of the Zodiac - Allies
 * The Guardians - Allies
 * Emperium - Infrared sided with VoCo during the Vo-perium war, since then Infrared and Emperium have not gotten along and when Infrared griefed the United Group Embassy a war broke out which is still ongoing.
 * Astral Order - Neutral
 * All UGE groups - Infrared griefed the UGE hq making enemies with them and all the groups in the embassy.
 * VoCo - VoCo and Infrared were once allied during the Vo-perium war. The two groups are no longer allies now due to VoCo allying with Emperium after the war. They are now neutral.
 * Soviets - Enemies due to their somewhat alliance with Emperium.
 * Unidad - Infrared and Unidad were once allies, they are now no longer after Infrared griefed the Embassy.
 * PK - PK is very inactive but many active 2b2t players who are in PK joined infrared and two co leaders of the group (IHackedWalmart and IHackdWindowsXP) are in PK. The two groups played together on the 2b2t tempmaps during the Alpha Alliance, they are strong allies.
 * Asylum - Infrared and Asylum were enemies due to many of it's members being in Emperium and also because of City (the leader of asylum) would constantly shittalk and annoy infrared members. Retronaut and City later became friends and have since become more friendly (Asylum is also dead now).
 * Eternity - Eternity was insided by infrared with great ease (due to Ultimate21Alex's stupididy) and griefed their spawn base.
 * Freelancers - Retronaut and a few infrared members griefed the Freelancer hq making Infrared the first official enemy of the freelancers. The Freelancers declared war on Infrared but infrared don't care.
 * Don Fuer - Due to IHackdWindowsXP's hatred for D_loaded and several other Donfuerians and the bitterness between PK and Donfuer, the two groups are enemies.
 * Spawn Masons - Relations between these two groups have been relatively neutral, the Spawn Masons are largely inactive at this time. Infrared did ally with VoCo, the Spawn Masons were an offspring of VoCo after the "disbandment" of VoCo and the end of Phase II, this would've made relations quite friendly. After Infrared's alliance with VoCo ended (because VoCo allied with Emperium) they were neutral towards the masons. However, during the March 2018 tempmap and well after Infrared joined the Alpha Alliance, the masons would constantly try to attack the alliance bases causing these two groups to fight eachother. The Spawn Masons also joined the 6th incursion that Infrared rebelled against (after a larger rebellion, the Alpha allaince, fell apart). Infrared griefed a large Spawn Mason base and kill few remaining active masons at spawn. These two groups now have unfriendly relations.

 * Ultra Violet
 * Fluorescent
 * Inferno

Vanux's Farewell Note (Read this, Retronaut)
So, I've come to a decision. I don't really want to be in Infrared anymore. It's nothing against the people in it, it's several other things.

No, I'm not going to leak bases, no, I'm not going to turn on Infrared for a shitty stash.

Now that that's put down, here's the reasons why I left.

- Incapable leader

Retronautx, while I don't have any personal issues with him, I think he needs to learn a few things before leading a team or anything. While I know not everything is on him, Infrared is kinda poorly managed and is on the brink of destruction because of infighting and poor leadership. A real leader would know what to do and properly manage their team rather than just demoting people and promoting people because they feel it's right. Several of his friends got Ultraviolet because they were his friends, as well as mod roles.

- Insiding

Anyone in Infrared knows what I'm talking about. Inviting random new people is a massive double-edged sword. Relating to the drama, some Heat was bribed into leaking info about the fight between max and WAO.

- Unending drama

Just yesterday maxtorcd55 and WomenAreObjects went at it because of max deciding to lie out of his ass. Stuff like this is fairly common now and I just don't want to be apart of it.

- Just wanting to go solo

I feel like being apart of a team is only going to damage me. I don't really want to be known on the server. I want to do my own thing on my own time rather than taking part of something I just don't really care much about anymore.

Nothing against a lot of the members. I'm still friends with the people I'm friends with. There are just some things I don't want to be apart of. Do I hate Infrared? No, not at all. If Infrared is sent after me for some reason, just know I didn't start anything.
