'''The Great Slump of 2017''' (Also referred to as '''The 3rd COMMUNISM Dark Age''') was period of conflict and lack of activity within [[BMW]] predominantly during 2017. | '''The Great Slump of 2017''' (Also referred to as '''The 3rd COMMUNISM Dark Age''') was period of conflict and lack of activity within [[BMW]] predominantly during 2017. Forming in the wake of the failure of [[Conan Exiles]], the slump strained relations amongst Bimmers and revealed conflicts in philosophies on what BMW should be and how it should be led. | ||

Cracks had begun showing in BMW long before the Slump. Most notably in late 2016 with the failure in the [[2nd Rusticity War]] and the departure of BMW admin, [[Ashy]]. Combined with the [[3rd COMMUNISM CIVIL WAR]], the group was on a knife's edge. All hopes were pinned on the success of Conan Exiles which launched in February of 2017. All resources were dedicated to the venture, and when it failed because of the games poor design and lack of ability to capitalize on it, BMW itself began failing. | |||

Conans failure shattered BMWs confidence and its planning for the future. During the Conan venture also began Goons attempt to slander Bimmers as racists and Nazis, so recruitment from SA began to slow to a trickle. All hope had been put on Conan breathing new life into the group, and as such nothing else was planned or even on the horizon to be planned for. The group was lost. The losses continued to stack as members and admins alike began to realize the worst case scenario was coming true. On April 8th, long time admin and former right hand man of [[Taylor]], [[G-mach]] ragequit citing grievances with Taylor (not so much grievances as having a massive melty and calling Taylor a child because Taylor wouldn't let Gmach ban people without reason.) The wounds of the 3rd COMMUNISM CIVIL WAR were reopened and the admin team was split on opinion. | |||

A brief reprieve in the slump came on April 13th, when [[Nonpoint]], a minor Bimmer recruited from Conan, pitched the idea of joining up with his small Rust clan. The Salt Shakers, as it was known as, was a welcoming group who agreed to take in a few Bimmers. Before long, Taylor and the Bimmers began mostly leading the group, including a satisfying revenge arc against longtime rival [[NAMBLA]]. | |||
