Introduction

Rhine labs is a team based on infamous gatcha game called Arknights^[1]. Rhine labs was formerly called Penguin Logistics, but the name and the team was reformed sometime before the Warfactory event into Rhine Labs.

Reform

After its forming post Igblon susy event, post Penguin Logistics phase, the team suffered from stagnation, being extensively used as a punchline for jokes by the community, most prominently by teams like the Vanadium Gear Corporation and in the week following up to the reform Lrdmtns was added as apart of a psyop he was starting^[2].

Lrdmtns, was able to join as he had convinced Person Unnamed that Oliwier509 had not shown him any sort of respect, and that Person Unnamed and Dr. Beako were the only ones that had done so^[3].

The reform process

The team was reformed and renamed to "Rhine Labs", Named after a yet another faction from Arknights. After this was done Personunnamed erected a plan of action to train all the new members to the point that they will dominate every upcoming event, their primary target of this operation was surpassing Wog.

Criticisms of the plan

Lrdmtns, after being added to the team, decided to criticise the plans made to test new members. He claimed that the training plan itself was too easy, as the last and hardest part of it was to build an aluminium processing line in Supersymmetry. He had suggested instead, that the team practice by speedrunning the early game, since that was the standard practice among every other team in the event sphere. This proposition, at the time, was accepted due to Lrdmtns, having a lot of previous experience, has shown that there was at least some merit to his words^[4].

The end goal of Lrdmtns' proposal was simple, getting all RL members to partake in a full SuSy playthrough, which would prepare them for anything that comes their way, and to give him partial power over the team so that he could do what he wanted with it, presumably to improve on any inefficiencies he may spot.

Hearing this Person Unnamed^[5] made the decision to kick Lrdmtns out of the team, for how blunt he was about his disapproval and then proceeded to throw a fit in Dms about how he was not communicating well. Despite all of that, Lrdmtns had to charismamaxxed his way back in the team.

Susy practice server and new members

After Lrdmtns got involved into the teams' main management board, he got Chudcel to host a practice server for RL^[6], it came at a cost however, since Lrd has also decided that it would be funny to /op SuperObama and give him the IP of the server.

As well as this, Lrdmtns scavenged his discord friends list to find anyone who would be interested in actually joining the team but most people he had reached out to, have sadly denied his invitation with the exception of Oliverstr and Alienkiller.

The SuSy practice server turned out to be rather inactive in the end, mostly due to the fact that the RL members weren't very motivated to play. The reason behind this was a lack of enthusiasm from the people who were already playing, particularly Dr. Beako. This lack of enthusiasm has inevitably reflected on the members as a whole, who, for the most part, either did not really feel like playing in the first place, or couldn't due to IRL circumstances.

The SuSy credits incident

in the aftermath from the Supersymmetry event, Dr.Beako decided to develop for Supersymmetry. They ended up making a singular texture^[7], but after due to some major drama within the event sphere, their work was also removed from the pack, and as such they were removed from the credits as well^[8]. This caused great demoralisation within the team and left Dr.Beako inconsolable for several hours.

Lrdover trolling arc part 1.283612736271536865123e+17

In an act of extreme internet trolling of shenanigans, Lrdmtns decided to randomly invite Graygloo, a member of WOG, into Rhine labs. Person Unnamed responded to this by banning graygloo and removing Lrdmtns' invite perms.

While this was happening, BadBurn who was also a member of WOG, begun spreading a screenshot of Lrdmtns leaking a different screenshot of one of the channels in RL. It's unknown whether or not the screenshot of Badburn exposing Lrdmtns leaking sensitive information was real or not, but the screenshot of the RL discord channel itself has been confirmed to be real. Seeing this, Lrdmtns told BadBurn to delete his screenshot, which he did, but kept adding more fuel the drama around it regardless. Naturally this resulted in, Lrdmtns going directly into BadBurn's dms and telling him that he was resolving stuff, and wanted BadBurn to shut up and let him cook. Unfortunately for him, BadBurn turned around and went into Person Unnamed's dms and told them that Lrdmtns was lying about trying to make peace and was indeed attempting to cook up yet another batch of internet trolling.

Due to the difference in timezones, Lrdmtns was unable to defend himself from getting kicked, since it all happen while he was asleep. This caused him to complain and vent about getting kicked the next day to the PGS. Due to all of this dramatic drama, he was removed from his diplomatic position in PGS. Additionally, Lrdmtns said that he was threatened by someone in a secret team (he didn't specify which) that if he didn't get invited back in, he'd be removed. Despite his best attempts, in the end Unnamed stood firm in the decision of removing Lrdmtns, not citing the channel leak that may or may not have been real, but rather that Lrdmtns has proven unwilling to co-operate and/or be helpful, alongside general toxicity from his side.

Lastly the fact that he was (at least publicly) a part of at least 2 other teams who desperately wanted him to join back into RL, made it pretty clear that he was simply there to spy on them

In a last ditch effort in a fit of mania, Lrdmtns said that he was going to kill himself if he wasn't added back and attached a photo of a knife near his wrist. This stunt went on to get mixed but mostly negative reception from essentially the entire community, but Lrdmtns still finds the entire situation funny.

The "Departure" from the community

Person Unnamed, after the blackmail incident in the Hecuba event decided to attention seek and make an announcement that RL would be leaving the community, and while this was very well received by basically everyone, around 1 week later Person Unnamed was spotted saying that "the Community is better now" and that they where going to stay (or rather return) with the team now serving the role of a "public archive" of sorts.

Despite this, Rhine Labs (or more specifically Dr.Beako and a few others) would mostly disappear from the Greglore event scene, instead joining a different community called "Magna Terra", and co-creating a new team called Federation of China with SergioTheCrafter. Although Person Unnamed has been spotted participating in the gregtech events, most notable of which being Project Towny and the MCC event^[9].

Warfactory event:

Nearly a year after the original feud with HF, the two teams managed to run into each other in the warfactory event.

RL was obliterated by a 4 man HF strike team again after their base was located by LeClown. The only thing remaining after the attack was the small oil refinery the team has setup. It managed to survive due to being within a claimed chunk, though it was destroyed by an unrelated third party at a later date.

After this incident the team has lost the will to play in the event and quit.

Current team status

The team is no longer active, and is considered dead. The only activity that has been observed from the group in the event sphere, was one of their leaders Person Unnamed joining OSIR, and allowing them to use the name "Rhine Labs" during Project Towny 0.7

During this time OSIR renamed to "Imperial Rhine Labs", and the whole joke was that after years of abuse they started "Hatemaxxing", and did a merger with the most "Hateful" team that being OSIR all the while neither had happened, and Person Unnamed was just a puppet leader, all the while Lrdmtns, oliwier509, Lemons681 and Trainvoi pulled all the strings behind the scenes.

↑ This is the way they named their other teams aswell
↑ This was done as the HSS-PMC was starting
↑ This originally was the case prior to the drama had gone down, and this was largely due to a misunderstanding so when Lrdmtns said this to get in Rhine labs, it was a psyop
↑ Or at least that's what Person Unnamed believed, this strategy was actually just a direct copy of what Wog was doing, as at the time Lrdmtns was still rather inexperienced
↑ while getting PTSD flashbacks to how doing so went for RI back in the igblon susy event no doubt
↑ The server was a Supersymmetry one as at the time people were still prepping for SuSy Season 2
↑ The texture they ended up making was the nether sulfur deposit one
↑ This was done by Gloo, the Github commit is here https://github.com/SymmetricDevs/Supersymmetry/pull/778
↑ They had to play on the event on an alternative account
