Guardsmen

The Guardsmen are a group founded by HermeticLock and TheDark_Emperor. The primary ideology revolves around a base named The Homeland, which is close to spawn and is protected by the Guardsmen. When The Homeland are damaged beyond repair, it is moved to a nearby location.

Some examples of Homeland bases were located in a mesa biome, and now it is at a desert biome.

The Guardsmen share many members with The Spawn Masons because Hermeticlock was aggravated with the Spawnmasons when Orsond cheated on him for SalC1, so he created the Guardsmen and took many SpawnMason members with him, all members who jumped ship to guardsmen also stayed in the masons regardless.

Homelands
The Homeland is the main base of the Guardsmen. The base is situated incredibly close to spawn, with the idea that it will be discovered. When it is discovered, it will be protected by the Guardsmen to the best of their ability. However, if the base is griefed by a large group it is usually too difficult to repair, the base will move to an adjacent biome. Usually the new base area will have a different build theme but still have the same name. The main idea is that as the base areas are griefed, the total area of the base will increase but the active area will usually stay a similar size.

Mesa Homeland
The Mesa Homeland was the first homelands biome to be chosen and built. Famous builds include the "Arc de Triomphe" obsidian structure and the fence roofed building in the bottom right of "The Mesa Biome" image. This biome area was griefed on the 25th of May 2020.

Desert Homeland
The Desert Homeland is currently the most recently griefed biome. It was griefed by highland where BigBullet638 obtained the coordinates from screenshots in the private discord. Some famous builds include Orsond's obsidian tower and LapisTheCat's Phoenix. It was griefed on the 2nd of June 2020.

= Initiation = The initiation ceremony is a private ceremony that is not available to the public. All information is classified to members only, however it is how an approved Guardsmen becomes an official member. The process is similar to The SpawnMason's ceremony, although it has a few differences.

History
The Guardsmen were created in early May of 2020. The group was kept a secret up until late May, when the discord became public. After a couple weeks, a decision was made to make the discord private again.

Members
Unlike many other groups, in The Guardsmen there is only one rank: Guardsman. There is no rank-up system, other than the process of selecting and approving candidates. This ensures that every member can have an equal say in decisions.
