→BMW Era (2015-2017)

BMW formed when the 4 larger clans ([[GM]], [[FORD]], [[WUTANG]], and [[GAY]]) joined into one group and moved to a pubbie server. [[Capitaler]] led the group in the early days, before the September 2015 hiatus. During that time, BMW ran roughshod over [[Rusty Bottoms]], becoming the most dominant clan on the server, only raided a handful of times and never completely beat except for the infamous [[SPEED Assault]]. The Rust clan took a break from September to December of 2015 when they returned and feuded unsuccessfully (due to admin favoritism) with [[NAMBLA]]. | BMW formed when the 4 larger clans ([[GM]], [[FORD]], [[WUTANG]], and [[GAY]]) joined into one group and moved to a pubbie server.

BMW would bounce between several other servers for the next year before the Rust group finally died out. ARMA III and GTAV served as temporary projects until February of 2017 when the group became SomethingAwfuls primary [[Conan Exiles]]. However, due to the games technical limitations and infrastructure failings, the group died out within 2 months, leaving BMW in a major hole. What followed is referred to as The 2017 Slump, where many interpersonal problems in the group, especially between admins, began to sprout. | BMW would bounce between several other servers for the next year before the Rust group finally died out after the [[2nd Rusticity War]].

The group shifted its focus from being specifically games oriented to politics, beginning with The SA Rapefugee Program and culminating in the rebrand to Wrong Think Tank (WTT). | The group shifted its focus from being specifically games oriented to politics, beginning with The SA Rapefugee Program and culminating in the rebrand to Wrong Think Tank (WTT). | ||
