When BMW formed and began playing on PsiSyndicate, it was realized that the increased manpower would need a much larger base to use. First and foremost, a starter based was made to use to farm the resourced needed for the new base, named PIZZA HUT. This trend and tradition would remain throughout the years for BMW, naming a starter base after a popular fast food chain and including it in the final compound. | When BMW formed and began playing on PsiSyndicate, it was realized that the increased manpower would need a much larger base to use. A several hour scouting trip was mounted a few days after the initial posts deciding BMW would form and that everyone would start playing cooperatively on public servers as opposed to privately ran Goon servers. Kimsemus, Taylor, Rejdukien, and several other early Bimmers were part of this first scouting trip. | ||

The first DREADFORT fell to ruin however when it was offline raided by a streamer. When Bimmers logged in for the day, the raid was already over and any defense was largely futile, as the raiders had completed raiding the base. | |||
BMW based out of the Pizza Hut for the remainder of the wipe, until Kimsemus and Taylor were banned for stream sniping ThatConleyKid. | |||

The airport was scouted but another large base was already present there, taking up much of the space. The outlook was grim as BMW was frequently routed and starter shacks raided. In a last ditched hail mary, Capitaler led a small raid group into an online raid against the base, which quickly turned in BMWs favor. The original occupants failed to defend and quickly raged logged after a half hearted defense. | ||

As with almost all DREADFORTS, the 11th was not only never taken but was not even attacked in any serious manner. However, the wipe saw the reemergence of the other admin clan, [[TSBS]]. | |||

==12th DREADFORT== | |||
[[File:61 post449349092 0.jpg|upright|right|thumb|alt:Twelth DREADFORT|12th DREADFORT ]] | |||
Again situated on the airfield, the 12th DREADFORT featured one of the most sprawling complexes to date. Complete with a full sized Fort Taylor, with pubbie jail, a THUNDERDOME, pubbie apartments, and a massive walled off area for quarries and pump jacks. The top of the 12th DREADFORT featured a special pubbie jail wherein the Bimmers would bag in random pubbies just to cage them in and fuck with them. Taylor would frequently stream episodes of Midnight In The Desert from the top of the DREADFORT late at night. | |||
==13th DREADFORT== | |||
Aka The Final DREADFORT, was the last of the original 13 DREADFORTS during BMWs original tenure on Rusty Bottoms. On the last day of the wipe, as Taylor was deconstructing it, the base came under attack from TSBS, the recently reorganized admin clan. The raid lingered as a bit of a scandal, as there had been a recent slew of no-clipper attacks, wherein peoples loot had been stolen from bases that weren't raided, and when prompted to investigate, BTK convinced Moegex to remove the plugin that would log who was using chests. Then for TSBS to come at the DREADFORT with enough explosive to potentially level it, after a week of solid raiding, was extremely suspicious. However, as the Bimmers were done with the server for several months, the matter was never resolved and remains a mystery to this day. | |||
=Other DREADFORTS= | =Other DREADFORTS= | ||
A mainline DREADFORT is defined by a full scale DREADFORT using the original Kimsemus or Rekdukien/Swift design that was built and manned by BMW at full strength during the 2015-2016 era. However, there were several other DREADFORTS during and after that period that fit the rough definition of a DREADFORT without being an actual mainline DREADFORT. Many were concepts or side bases, and as such were not main bases of BMW. | |||

[[File:33 post445981840 0.jpg|upright|left|thumb|alt:2nd GM DREADFORT, pre-WUTANG raid]] | |||
After BMW formed, Bishyaler and Shadowgates server, [[Goon Playground]], dropped off in population. However, several members of both GM, WUTANG, GAY, and FORD continued to casually play on the server in an attempt to draw in a new pubbie population. | |||
The skeleton crew of GM built a second iteration of the DREADFORT based on the original GM Satellite base design instead of the BMW design. | |||
It was later solo raided by Method Man, who had continued playing on the server, before he switched over to playing with BMW. | |||

[[File:2015-07-11 00001.jpg|right|thumb|alt:Trashcan Dreadfort|Aerial view of the Trashcan DREADFORT]] | |||
The trashcan DREADFORT was built in conjuction with the 8th DREADFORT from a glut of resources attained during the wipe. It was a proof of concept of how big a DREADFORT could theoretically go. It was not completed as halfway through it was deemed unfeasible to do in a 1 week wipe scenario and the upkeep would be a nightmare. The interior had one room, which was later covered in black signs to mimic the [[w:Kaaba]]. | |||

[[File:1446390032_dfmm.jpg|left|thumb|alt:Hiatus Dreadfort|Aerial view of the Hiatus DREADFORT and compound]] | |||
The Hiatus DREADFORT was built by Ashy and a few remnants of BMW after the end of the 2015 Era and the beginning of the long hiatus. Unfortunately, the base was not feasible due to massive lack of manpower and was quickly raided. | |||
==Comeback DREADFORTs == | |||
When BMW returned from hiatus, a few Bimmers had set up on a new server admined by [[Method Man]], but owned by a pubbie. The exterior and compound were largely 1:1 with the original DREADFORT design, but the inside was much different, featuring ladder hatches instead of stairwells, leading to many complications in base defense and rekitting. The DREADFORT was lost to a mass raid by NAMBLA, and BMW went into another brief hiatus because of the launch of [[Fallout 4]]. | |||
2 second smaller DREADFORTs were also built by Prude elsewhere on the island, but were also lost. | |||
== Adolf DREADFORT == | |||
[[File:XqQapyL.jpg|right|thumb|The Adolfs DREADFORT with SPACE PROGRAM tower. The towers graphics glitched out due to its height, causing the tearing.]] | |||
The Adolf DREADFORT was built after a several hour mission picking door frames to level a tower already on the site, since BMW had arrived on the server halfway through a 2 week wipe cycle. The DREADFORT was one of the most massive to date, and infamously featured The Space Needle, which was a tower so high that planes flew under the top perch. It also caused massive lag when people would come into render distance of it, was well as causing graphical tearing and glitches. The DREADFORT was leveled one night by a coalition of other clans very upset that BMW had come to the server, and replaced it with an autistic screed. | |||
== NewBoondock DREADFORT == | |||
NewBoondock DREADFORT suffered early setbacks due to a multihour siege by cheating Chinamen who were glitching themselves into high external walls to shoot people. However, the DREADFORT was eventually assembled and was even larger than the Adolf fort, sans Space Needle. Adjacent to the DREADFORT was the largest Fort Taylor built to-date. 3o6 attempted multiple attacks, failing each time, resulting in them constructing a tower next door to try and snipe. Taylor countered this with The Great Wall of Autism that obscured their view of THE DREADFORT. 3o6 later claimed they foundation raided THE DREADFORT the day before the wipe, but the interior had already been demolished by BMW. | |||
== 1st Rusticity DREADFORT == | |||
== 2nd Rusticity DREADFORT == | |||
Short lived and marked by suspected admin abuse, the 2nd Rusticity DREADFORT was of little consequence. The wipe occurred during one of Taylors periods of inability to play, resulting in no leadership and no vision, which led to a short wipe cycle. | |||
== Rusty Bottoms Return DREADFORT == | |||
== 3rd Rusticity DREADFORT == | |||

[[File:RustClient_2016-09-29_22-03-31.jpg|upright|thumb|right|The final Rust DREADFORT.]] | |||
The Final DREADFORT ever, and the last base of BMW in its original Rust era, the 3rd Rusticity DREADFORT was a much different style than previous DREADFORTS. Built and engineered by [[Measly Twerp]], the fort took on a square design in contrast to the iconic cylindrical design of the past. | |||
= Non-Rust DREADFORTs = | |||
= Construction = | |||
The construction of a DREADFORT weekly was usually a very well planned process. Starting with a Shitshack to base out of while storing materials, Rej and Taylor would soon begin laying the foundations after finding a suitable spot with enough flat land. Total build time usually took a few hours depending on how many people were helping to upgrade pieces. | |||
== Exterior Design == | |||
In the first few iterations of the DREADFORT, the exterior was a hodgepodge of bases, walls, and other assorted structures. However, starting with the 7th iteration, a courtyard was added to give an extra cushion of security for entering and exiting the main structure | |||
=== Space Needle === | |||
The space needle existed in infancy all the way back to the first iterations, but as a mere flagpole. It wasnt until later iterations when the Bimmers attempted to see how far it could be, most famously peaking with the ADOLFS DREADOFORT. The needle had no real purpose, other than for laughs. | |||
=== Shitshack === | |||
The shitshack that served as the progenitor base for the DREADFORT was always built in a fairly familiar style. Usually a 2 story square structure, the shitshack was given the name of a fast-food restaurant and referred to such throughout the entirety of the wipe ie Pizza Hut, Wing Stop, etc. | |||
=== Fort Taylor === | |||
{{See also|FORT TAYLOR}} | |||
While Fort Taylors history began as a shitshack in the desert on Goon Playground, with BMWs continued dominance and glut of resources, it was able to evolve into a second DREADFORT. Starting with the 10th DREADFORT, the massive overflow of stone and wood allowed for almost endless construction projects, and the prospect of having a second massive base reduced the risk of a total loss from a raid, since invaders would be unable to fully raid both. | |||
=== Roof === | |||
The roof of the DREADFORT was one of the few features of the DREADFORT that remained in flux throughout all iterations. No two roofs were ever the same, sometimes a complicated bunker featuring plenty of shooting angles and others featuring pubbie zoos used to bed in unsuspecting players for the Bimmers amusement. | |||
