The Gulag

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

Prologue
In late 2018, c0mmie_ and a few other players went out to vreate a few bases. That was, until the Gulag-Confederacy war began.

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, a few months later, when Conquest griefed The Confederacy's main dupe stash.

Interwar Period
During The Interwar Period, the Gulag had very few enemies, and the enemies they did have were very small and powerless. In this period, The Gulag became allies with groups such as Conquest, The Teutonic Order, and The Infinity Incursion, among others. The group continued to grow, however, 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. However, near the end of The Water Cube Project, BachiBachBach kicked c0mmie_ out of the Infinity Incursion's Discord server. This resulted in the termination of the alliance between the two groups.

Present
In the current day, The Gulag hosts weekly events, the nature of which ranges from building to griefing events. The Gulag is currently in conflict with The Infinity Incursion and HWU.

Media
The Gulag has a YouTube Channel, where the group's content is posted. This includes The Gulag Report and The Gucast.

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.
