The group was founded on the 9th of March, 2021, initially as a joke, and a secret vault was constructed under the mushroom islands of Vesuvius, owned by [[Varkonia]] in the +,-
 
== History ==
Line 7:
The group's plan was to assassinate [[ChrisChrispie]] and as many government members as possible, before kiting to a secret vault constructed out in the ocean. The members were aware of the likely response of the Icenian militia and the broader [[UDF]], and aware that a complete victory was highly unlikely. The goal was to cause a disruption and have a little fun, rather than cause lasting change.
 
Secondary to this, while the vault was under construction, unrest was fostered by members of the group within the nation's discord, with Icenia's leader referring to the period as being " ''the first true political divide in Icenia since the West Isle conflict"'' <ref>[[Icenia#Political Conflict (January 2021-August 2021)]]</ref>. This would come to a head with the unlawful pearling of [[binchymonkey]]'s sister<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/829317919187402752/836433773960495114/unknown.png</ref> and a subsequent protest held by many of the citizens in Icenia's discord. The plan was initially set to be undertaken on a weekend prior to the Icenian olympics.

=== Cancellation of Plans ===
With the Ez2raids ongoing in Icenia and the olympics rapidly approaching, the plans were delayed before eventually being completely cancelled in May of 2021. Many of the group defended the city against the raids, and the decision was made to not burn their repuations and betray any trust placed in them over the months of infiltration. Coupled with this, much of the fostered unrest had cooled by this stage, with a constitutional rewrite and SoundTech returning to government. Much work on the vault had been completed underground, however, and in the interest of not letting all their work go to waste, the group created the shell company of the Kawartha Pine Ridge Corporation<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/p0isu9/announcing_the_allnew_kawartha_pine_ridge/</ref> to attempt to purchase the surrounding lands without arousing much suspicion from Varkonia. While the vault was not found by any Varkonians, the purchase was stalled for months, caught up in Varkonia's bureaucracy before finally being told they were unable to purchase the land. By this time, most of the group had stopped playing the server, and no further work on hubris was completed.
 
=== The Plans go Public ===
The group's existance remained completely secret from its inception up to the announcement of the server's shutdown. The plans largely came as a surprise to Icenian leadership, with the sole exception of prawny331, who was identified early by ChrisChrispie as causing problems for the sake of it.
