Hi there. This is post numero 20 thousand and one for me. So I figured I'd go ahead and write a little non-fiction on what might be the one of the oldest clans in Roblox history. May I remind you that there were definately clans before clan pages. This is a brief history of WIJ, and SSCORP before that.
____________ Early 2008
In early 2008, I had an idea. My small group of friends and I (most of them have quit now, sadly) hanged out frequently at one of my lava obstacle courses and often one of my friends' virtual houses as well. I wanted to make a personal group for me and my friends, but not too exclusive in the sense of that no one new would ever enter.
I built a building on water, next to a road. It became highly popular. The building had 4 floors, one reception/outside area, one shooting range/plane hangar, one team vs team simulation room, and my own room on top. The building was protected by a gate and 'laser target system' which killed everyone who wanted to pass that had no t-shirt on (t-shirt was needed unless you were my friend). The place was popular and liked among many, SSCORP started to get a name.
Later that year I completed SSCORP's first space ship, the well known SSC-010 A Silenced Sword's Sound. This increased our numbers in the many, created a solid community and high rank system. The whole idea of 'personal friends community' was mostly gone, we allowed everyone, but my friends and I were in command. Even Minish joined and got a high rank, he was a pretty big influence. SSC-010 was often on the frontpage and I consider it to be one of my best works (even though it looks awful for current times). We had frequent meetings and such, and it was simply a lot of fun. We hanged out on General Discussion (which is now RT). GD was a lot closer and personal back then, way less people.
After Minish got banned and several friends of mine quit the game or became inactive, I had trouble keeping SSCORP together. We had no new places or anything. The whole idea of forts didn't cross my mind yet, nor did I ever intend to go to war. When X-101st, half a year later, came with their recruitment center it was the only war SSCORP had ever fought and definately won (even though it didn't make much of an impact, nor did we have a raidable place, but eh that was back in 2008). SSCORP became a little bit more active and I decided to build more for SSCORP. The year is now 2009 and me and Owen (who I got to know sometime before this, even though it's still a mystery to when I got to know him exactly) decided to revive SSCORP. This, ultimately, didn't work out. Places were built but it never really worked out the way we wanted.
When groups were released (the actual pages) I immediately registered SSCORP. That's why it has such a low ID number. It was created in the first 5 minutes of release or something. Lots of groups were created then.
A week later, after me and Owen canceled our plans for SSCORP and had to shut it down completely, I registered a group named "WIJ". It was a plan for the future, for when I had time. Its description: "For later". At the time I didn't have a lot of time for Roblox.
About 5 or 6 months later, work on WIJ began. I started building the WIJ HQ you know now. I got stuck on the part with the main hall. But several weeks later Owen got me through it. WIJ was one step closer to being realised, after having such a grand history. A week later the WIJ HQ was completed. We already had a lot of fans, lots of people who followed my work and were interested by this new building and the possible 're-revival' of SSCORP. We had about 200 pending to join before we opened WIJ.
We opened WIJ. But WIJ needed a fort. Outpost Indigo was quickly built by Owen to ensure WIJians had something to do, something that caused SSCORP to become inactive. Back then it was much different to what it is now. The raiders had an even more unfair place to spawn and everything was pretty much WIJ sided (I still consider Indigo unfair, but eh people like it). The version 1 guns of WIJ were created by Owen and me, they were less than efficient but they did the job nicely. Back then raycasts were laggy and purely mathematical, not Roblox-integrated as they are now.
WIJ Outpost Indigo frequently got on the frontpage, and we quickly grew in numbers. We needed an efficient ranking system. Back then Officers could still promote. This was changed later, and the rest you might know.
___________ This has been a brief history of WIJ before WIJ. I might do a thread on early-WIJ history another time. Hope you liked it.
Thanks.

Oh and the reason WIJ doesn't have any Roblox-built space ships yet is because I'm a perfectionist and it takes sooooooo much time to build one.

yeah and i found the "shield" thing pointless because if your ship gets destroyed you're just going to fall into the void and die anyway
however slayer and i harassed each other just fine |

Superclan leaders are so talented.
They write well and run groups even better on an online game.
I'm amazed. |
