'''BMW''' | '''BMW''' was the central group of the WIDEVERSE after [[COMMUNISM]]s decline in 2015. Initially formed as a Rust group from SomethingAwful, BMW grew into a prosperous gaming group and Mongolian troll farm. BMW rebranded to [[WrongThink Tank]] in 2017, before shortening it to WTT in 2018, then completely abandoning that brand and renaming to [[Wideboys]] in 2021. Though BMW lives on directly in [[WIDEBOYS]], for the sake of historical record the group is considered to be defunct. | ||

The hiatus started winding down around the end of November 2015 when Taylor began recruiting Goons to start playing again on the server Method Man was admin on. The first attempt was a total failure for a multitude of reasons. First, many Goons were only starting to trickle back into the game. Secondly, the DREADFORT was poorly built and even more confusing to navigate than previous incarnations. That added with the changes to cold that prevented people from teleporting right after spawning prevented the turn around during raid attempts. Thirdly, a super established group known as [[NAMBLA]] was already on the server and had much more time and resources invested into the wipe. Finally, the wipe week coincided with the release of Fallout 4, a major hype for BMW.

In December, BMW was able to come back officially. They had moved from Woofingtons Mumble to a new program called Discord, still under Woofingtons "Reticulated Splines" name however. They began moving away from the concept of a single giant base to a more practical and hard to raid idea of a sprawling compound and several offsite locations to store goods. These changes proved to be successful in the long run, but Terminus was proving to be a shitshow of its own. The owner was found several times in NAMBLA bases we raided, logged out, and it was quite obvious he was very close to the members of the clan. He always looked the other way when NAMBLA did something fishy and would never look into numerous complaints about them. The final straw was when Taylor attempted to counter a raid against a miniDREADFORT [[Prude]] had built. Taylor had snuck across 5 map tiles to find the base, and immediately after arriving on the scene, was hunted down and shot, like NAMBLA had known right where he was. | In December, BMW was able to come back officially.

306 began ramping up their attacks against BMW. They had started earlier in the wipe by building small sniping towers and losing in sniping battles against BMW. They grew ambitious and built a giant tower right next to the DREADFORT. Taylor countered this buy building a giant 1x10 wall called "The Great Wall of Autism that blocked their view of the DREADFORT. BMW decided to take 2 weeks off for the holidays and shuttered the DREADFORT. 306 came along later and blew into an empty husk and tried to claim they destroyed it. | 306 began ramping up their attacks against BMW.

Taylor had the brilliant idea to return to Rusty Bottoms, arguing that its better the shady devils you know than the crashing laggy devils you dont. The push started pre-wipe, with the infamous "poverty raid" in which Taylor, Rej, and Jack went from sticks and stones to raiding a giant island compound within 2 hours of joining the server, mainly fueled by autism, bullshit, and poorly designed bases. | Taylor had the brilliant idea to return to Rusty Bottoms, arguing that its better the shady devils you know than the crashing laggy devils you dont.

{{quote | {{quote|G-Mach built a 1x1 in a deserted island compound. Some of it was raided and some of it wasn't so we started searching around. We went through like 100 Axes/bone clubs/etc getting through an armored door where we found a kitted out sleeper. We then used their quarries and furnaces to start cooking ores. | ||
| | |||
We towered over a few of their high exterior gates, find some misc. loot. and some more build free zones. So we tower on top of one of their bases and find a loot room with no door to the roof full of armor and guns. We researched most of it and dumped the rest. | We towered over a few of their high exterior gates, find some misc. loot. and some more build free zones.

We then took what we had looted from chests and then what we had in their quarries and furnaces and made 4 C4, blew into an all armored 1 story building to the scene above. Full of guns, ammo, uniforms, meds, etc. Havent found any C4 yet but we think we know where it is. | We then took what we had looted from chests and then what we had in their quarries and furnaces and made 4 C4, blew into an all armored 1 story building to the scene above.

The next server for BMW was called Uprising Prime. Back to more heavily modded servers, BMW hit a stride. Raiding out of a tiny shitshack on the fringe of the map, they were able to dish out an impressive amount of shit in the short wipe cycle. | The next server for BMW was called Uprising Prime.

BACKSTORY: Yesterday Ashy, Oz, iRogue, Method, and myself were dicking around the desert and came upon a base that had an exposed cupboard outside. We authed ourselves then laddered up to the roof, found a sleeper in DADDY, took his shit, killed him and left. I set home there JUST IN CASE, probably wont need it but you never know. | BACKSTORY: Yesterday Ashy, Oz, iRogue, Method, and myself were dicking around the desert and came upon a base that had an exposed cupboard outside.

BMW, being a copyrighted international brand, was a name that obviously couldn't be used forever. Given the new nature of the group and its aims, Prude floated the idea of renaming to Wrongthink Tank on September 15th. The idea was very warmly received (outside of a few smoothbrains) and the old branding was mostly dumped, outside of keeping the BMW color scheme and still referring to members as Bimmers. | BMW, being a copyrighted international brand, was a name that obviously couldn't be used forever.

However, some people in a desperate bid for relevancy, still try and claim the name. Real tough scene. | |||
