Humanity First
More actions
Humanity First is a team that was born after the chemical element known as Rhodium had undergone fission and the previous leaders were ejected (amongus reference). This has led to the first ever time in recorded human history, where the team in question wasn't raided, betrayed, or otherwise inconvenienced by external factors for several days in a row, and this peace had remained until Penguin Logistics (Previously known as Rhodes Island, now known as Rhine Labs) declared war on them.
Event History
Act 1: Ini the beninging
In the Supersymmetry Movie, HF considered itself to be "The last bastion of sanity". But this was obviously a lie, since by the point Humanity First has formed, everyone was, in fact, insane. However, this was compensated by the fact that members of the team were allowed to take part in recreational activities, to take a break from the intense gaming sessions, most notable of which was using the central monitor to [REDACTED].
Once Humanity First came into power, the first order of business was re-establishing the Large Bronze Boiler Shrine, that was destroyed during the coup, it was later adorned with a command block, procured from a 3D printer.
Post event 1 activities
Humanity first, once the first event ended, had been doing some experimentation. One of their members hosted a Technological Journey server.
The team emblem of Humanity First is the same logo for the extremist faction in Terra Invicta under the same name. There is also a public server that has a different logo, that being of a humanitarian aid group.
The link to said public discord server can be found here: https://discord.gg/sXrJMFsg3B and a link to the real and totally offical Humanity First website can be found here as well.
Act 1.25: The final Mekanismation
Also known as the dark ages of Humanity First, this time period lasted from around a week to one month after the original SuSy event has ended.
During this time, Humantiy First has undergone mass psychosis (undeniably caused by extended exposure to multiplayer SuSy) and decided to democratically rebrand and rename itself to "Sons Of Mekanism", a Mekanism worshiping cult dead set on spreading the final Mekanismation onto everyone else in the local super cluster.
During this time, a small portion of the R&D allocated funding has gone into the production of a small 5-minute video showcasing Marv-net at the early stages of development (more specifically showcasing clock linking of multiple drones and robots which was a core step in the creation of Marv-net). The entire thing was played off as a meme after [REDACTED] suggested using the robots to rotate the Extra Cells walrus to the beat of the famous song "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" created by Dead or Alive.
The video of this showcase is still circulating in GregTech related discord servers and possibly other related social media apps.
HF's era of Mekanism may have ended and with it the name change was reverted, but the scars of it remain to this day, with may inside jokes and discord channels still being told of inside the team's inner circles.
Act 1.5: It's Dysfunctionalover
About a month after the susy event has ended, the team decided to participate in a very small scale HBM based pvp event, during which, due to the small size of the world map and small server size, teaming was disallowed.
The rules of the event granted every new player a grace period of 3 days, however, these rules did not grant the server a grace period, and it was promptly killed by Oliwier509 exploring the entire map in search of a cactus.
The true end of the event, came at dusk of day 2, a full 30 hours before pvp became real, because NemEzanevem (one of the server admins) has decided to spawn a black hole at spawn, which killed everyone currently online, and destroyed all dropped items, which caused a major loss of GDP to both Oliwier509 and Person Unnamed.
Due to this fact, the event ended prematurely, but Oliwier never stopped playing on the world, instead choosing to download it and add the scape and run parasites mod to the pack, as it was perfect for testing how effective each mod from that kitchen sink was against the parasite threat.
This operation continued for about a month, and upon it's end, all the collected data on the proficiency of each mod and weapon has been placed on a spreadsheet and can be found in [REDACTED].
Act 2: Electric boogaloo, back in black, disney reimagining, rewritten for modern audience
The team has managed to pull themselves together for participation in the first Warfactory Event, though with severe losses in manpower, due to the vast majority of members no longer being members, being busy with life, or simply disagreeing with participation in an event that revolves around fighting other people.
Despite this, a few HF members managed to come together and officially involve themselves in the event.
Act 2.1: It's Norwoodover
After finding the DrBeako head at spawn in a twist of fate, the teams initial plan was to escape to the lost cities and base there, because despite the fact that the dimension did not allow for warforge claims to be placed down, it was a tradeoff HF was willing to make, due to the extra protection and stealth the dimension offered.
This plan was immediately intercepted by the fun police and HF was booted off the lost cities after they were deemed an "exploit" (to this day, no one knows why the mod was even kept in the pack and the first page of the quest book if it was against the rules to enter the lost cities). After this catastrophic failure that caused the entire infrastructure plan to collapse, HF decided to vent (amongus reference) their anger on Person Unnamed, who's coordinates were found by the scouting regiment earlier that day. The battle lasted less than 10 minutes and the entire Rhine Labs base was romaniand, with the exception of the small claimed oil outpost nearby (said outpost was later fully destroyed by an unrelated third party)
Act 2.2: It's Norwoodover MK2
This time, the teams' entire armaments supply was destroyed due to Norwood changing the config last minute, which disabled the use of ender chests. This action caused the team to lose 99% of the teams' wealth that was previously kept stored away, and event though the team was able to get some compensation after the fact, but the total scale of the damage was never truly quantified.
The 8 TPS war
More information about the 8 TPS war can be found here: 8 TPS War
From a HF point of view, the war with WOG was inevitable, due to them already possessing HF coords at this time. The HF ethics committee has decided that a war with WOG and any of their allies was justified, hence why HF decided to approve of the operation, though it is worth noting, that such an outcome would have happened regardless, due to the fact that it was spearheaded by the HSH coalition, which ensured that every member, regardless of their previous convictions, would assist in raiding teams that were considered a threat to the coalition.
Event 2 conclusions:
The event concluded with the entirety of HF and most of HSS getting permabanned, since 2 of their members were caught cheating. This reduced the server population by over 70% which opened up a window for WOG to raid the base basically uncontested and most of it was destroyed in the attack. Despite this fact, the ME system actually remained standing, and the base could have been theoretically fully restored as the materials and machines obtained from the WOG raid were never placed down, since by this point most people lost interest in continuing to play.
Ideology and Governance
Ideology
Humanity First, as the name suggests, is primarily focused on PVE rather than PVP aspect of things, with the dominant ideology of the team being Neomarvinism, which, at it's core, states: "Nothing against humanity, everything for humanity, everything within humanity." causing most members of the team to see combat engagements with other teams as a "waste of time".
To really drive the point above home, the teams anthem makes several references to the unification of humanity under one banner and fighting against any alien threats that may arise during any events HF is present in. AKA, fighting against invasion mods like Scape and Run: Parasites, The Flesh That Hates or Abominations Infection but that extends to any and all alien threats there may be in whatever modpack the event is using.
Governance
When Humanity First was formed, a system of accountability was also established. Under this system, making large and impactful decisions, such as banning or inviting new members, is impossible without a majority vote. Any of these decisions can be overridden by governing bodies, such as the Ethics Committee.
Furthermore, decisions which require immediate action can be undertaken by any member of the team and require no approval, provided these actions do not violate the core Ideology of the team.
Despite the above, the team does in fact have a "leader", going by the ign of Oliwier509, who is responsible for the coup d'etat that led to the teams formation. Before he became the leader, he was the head of R&D department at Rhodes Island (Currently known as Rhine Labs). His current position within the team is unknown.
Racism
Literally, fuck alien races. (pls dont) Love my homie humans
Venerated individuals
- SergioTheCrafter - a man who led a Coup d'état against the Federation of China, a team led by Dr.Beako in a minecraft earth civilisation event fully disconnected from the GT scene. It's almost ironic that two completelly separate groups came to the exact same conclusion regarding dealing with Dr.Beako and PersonUnnamed led teams despite never interacting with each other.
Epilogue
After the first event ended, the team has mostly fragmented with many people getting bored with playing and deciding to leave, especially after the famous corn-brick incident and the infamous Fish-Bone Incident.
This, however, did not stop [REDACTED] from taking interest in the team, and starting operation [REDACTED] which lead to [REDACTED] going into overdrive, thus nearly burning down the physical server it was hosted on. Surely this will [The department of aerial vehicles has advised me not to finish this wikipage].
As time continued, more and more funding was granted to the operation, and more consultations were held with [REDACTED] T-3 Especially after the [REDACTED] project and the [REDACTED] project. At this rate, it should be ready for use by [The department of aerial vehicles has forced me not to finish this wikipage].
And so almost a year went by with nigh complete radio silence from the team, until finally one day the WF event became real. Members that haven't as much as looked at the discord server before this all started coming back, even our trusty text to speech discord bot saw a resurgence in popularity. And as they came, they went, radio silence has resumed.
Well, except for one thing...
THE BOTS ARE COMING, THE BOTS ARE COMING, THE BOTS ARE COMING, THE BOTS ARE <Connection terminated...>
YOU ARE NOT GETTING OUT.
Trivia
- The first base of Humanity First, the one they took over in the Coup, was located underneath the sea of tranquility. This name was picked due to the fact that the team was almost renamed to "Last Legion of Tranquility" after the final Mekanismation, but instead the team democratically decided to go back to "Humanity First"
- HF is responsible for providing the Supersymmetry developers with a building server, and have contributed the Ancient Lab structure, among other ones, to the pack.
- the :outlawish: emoji is a brain parasite developed by HF's R&D department after studying the scape and run parasites mod.
