Hyptek

Hyptek was a building community centered on scientific research ventures founded by Woofmacht on October 20, 2017. It is currently owned by FDSA123567.
It was originally a stagnant placeholder group established in around 2014 by several members in Pinewood Builders, until the October 20th series of events, which caused many of Pinewood's members to join Hyptek. A year later, the group split due to internal management issues, causing many members and developers to move to , which the group was eventually merged into not long after.
==History ==
 Information updated on April 10, 2024
===2014===
====April====
*Hyptek was created as a placeholder group, left inactive for future use.
===2017===
====October====
=====October 20 events=====
*Citing inactivity and a declining growth, Vice Chairman and Head of Security Woofmacht and the Board of Directors in Pinewood Builders called a "vote of no confidence" on the Chairman, Diddleshot.
*In response to the vote, Diddleshot fires the entire Board of Directors. The rest of the administration responds to this by resigning from Pinewood, and moving to the group Hyptek.
*Due to the former administration having control over Pinewood's Discord server at the time, the server was subsequently rebranded as Hyptek's Discord server.
*An unofficial Pinewood game called the Pinewood Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP) by CzachuPL was rebranded as the Hyptek Nuclear Power Plant (HNPP), serving as Hyptek's first official and main game. Another unofficial Pinewood game called Pinewood Underground Research Labs by Gonow32 was also rebranded as the Hyptek Underground Research Labs (HYPURL), serving as Hyptek's second official game.
*The development team of Pinewood's Red Europa Intergalactic Starship (REIS) project, also known as the Pinewood Spaceship, also resigned, transferring the project to Hyptek. As a result, REIS became Hyptek's third official game.
====November====
*Due to the events of October 20, the Pinewood administration under new management brands Hyptek as a "raid group" citing claims of there being "spies" and "raiders" from both sides. Both groups have denied responsibility.
*Woofmacht resigns as President due to real-life matters, appointing theonlyinvincible as President. Woof temporarily becomes a Moderator during his leave of absence.
===2018===
====January====
*Hyptek Nuclear Power Plant's Version 2.0 is released, featuring a new turbine hall, a realistic control room, and two reactors.
*The deadline for REIS was missed. 
====February====
*Woofmacht announced his return to Hyptek. Theonlyinvincible and the Hyptek board denies Woof's request to be appointed Vice President due to suspicions over his return. Woof makes a subsequent request to join the board instead, which was also denied.
=====February 2018 administration reforms=====
*Due to Woof's requests being denied, a fight ensues between Woofmacht and theonlyinvincible. Woof states that theonlyinvincible was "Diddleshot in drag" and was not fit to run the group anymore and demands to be reinstated as President again.
*The Red Europa Intergalactic Starship suspends development due to a few of the developers and a Board member who were supportive of Woofmacht were blacklisted by fellow Board member ArisstathGR, who was supportive of theonlyinvincible. 
*The board is split in two sides supporting either Woofmacht or theonlyinvincible.
*Board members Excitive and Gonow32 are promoted to Vice President briefly, but were demoted back to their previous position after things were sorted out. 
*Eventually, the blacklisted board members regained their ranks.
*The audit log of the Hyptek Discord was disabled for everyone below the Vice President role, resulting in an outcry, making people believing that theonlyinvincible is corrupt. 
*The public, through Gonow32, called a vote to determine who should be the rightful President of Hyptek. Winning 71 out of 73 votes, Woofmacht won the vote and regains his role as President. Though initially in denial, theonlyinvincible eventually concedes to the results.
*Board members Excitive and ArisstathGR resigned, as well as theonlyinvincible.
*The Red Europa Integalactic Spaceship resumes development.
====April====
=====JKR-Hyptek merger=====
*JKR Productions, a building group owned by ChromeEight that was responsible for the development of the Pinewood Oil Platform, merges into Hyptek. This results in Hyptek attaining ownership of its main game, the JKR Research Facility (JKRF).
*During the merger, Hyptek also receives ownership of several other assets that JKR had previously acquired from the group Think Build Create after it had merged into JKR back in late 2017.
*JKR Head of Management The_Sink joins the Board of Directors, representing the transition of JKR into Hyptek, and any future development of the HTRF.
*Following the merger, fellow JKR Head of Management LouieK22 is promoted to Developer as the fellow lead developer on the HTRF.
====May====
*The Board of Administrators is renamed to the Board of Directors.
*The JKR Research Facility is rebranded as the Hyptek Research Facility (HTRF), and re-opened to the public on May 9, 2018, as a rebranded version of the game's current version at that time. 
*ChromeEight, Hurrah123456, and SGTabletXD are promoted to Moderator.
*FuginCZ is promoted to Developer, and is tasked to maintain HYbRID.
====June====
*A public beta of the Red Europa Intergalactic Starship is open to the public.
*Several new ranks were added; Helper, Researcher, Supervisor, and Manager.
*Hyptek begins an ad run, resulting in increased member growth.
*Hyptek reaches 2,000 members.
*Hurrah123456 is promoted to Trainer in Hyptek Security
====July====
*The Hyptek Research Facility's Foundation Update is released on July 10, introducing a new game framework and an all-new modern design and layout.
*HTRF developers LouieK22 and splitzalot resign from Hyptek to pursue their own personal projects.
*Reactor Testing Inc. (RTI) imposes a ban on Hyptek members after an internal conflict. This is followed by Quantum Science Inc. also banning Hyptek members as an ally of RTI. In return, Hyptek bans both groups.
*Following the ban, RTI appealed the ban, while Quantum remained stern on the ban.
====August====
*Quantum Science undergoes an ownership change from TheWildDeveloper to Rightious_Phoenix. As stated on the Quantum Science Discord server, "As another change, Hyptek will no longer be banned from our facilities, as the current Administrations has nothing against them. Please reserve comments into my DMs if you wish. Thanks."
*Due to this change, Quantum Science repeals the Hyptek ban and vice versa.
====September====
*The_Sink announces his resignation from the BOD to pursue personal projects. He remained an advisor for administration until November 2018.
====October====
*Mudkipscience joins the BOD and Samsterclone becomes a Manager.
=====2018 Pinewood-Hyptek-Quantum conflict=====
*The Pinewood-Hyptek situation was brought to an all-time high in-between October 12 and the 21st.
*On October 12, TheWildDeveloper left Quantum Science, bringing with him most of the developers of Quantum Science Multipurpose Labs 3. Only two developers stayed behind, namely Phoenix and IXev, who decided to merge Quantum Science with Hyptek.
*This prompted the Pinewood Administration to register a group ban for Quantum Science on all PB games.
*A copy of QSML was brought to Pinewood by TheWildDeveloper, and turned into Pinewood Builders Multipurpose Laboratories, while another copy of the game was brought to Hyptek by Pheonix, and turned into Hyptek Labs.
*TheWildDeveloper and all the Developers who followed him were quickly invited to XYLEM Technologies and PBML was made a XYLEM group game.
*Due to the lack of a proper moderation and anti-exploit mechanisms at PBML, a lot of copies and leaks were made, prompting the closure of PBML until further notice.
*On October 21, Phoenix resigns from Hyptek, and officially reactivates Quantum Science, unmerging from Hyptek.
*As a result, the Pinewood Administration removes the Quantum Science group ban, allowing everyone in Quantum Science to join official PB Games again.
*A vote was held by Hyptek during a meeting on October 21, resulting in the closing of Hyptek Laboratories.
*PBML would later be canceled as a result of Quantum Science being re-activated.
=====October 2018 Group Reforms=====
*An anonymous member of administration sent blackmail messages, threatening to leak the HTRF after having leaked HNPP and REIS, citing that Woofmacht must step down as group owner, and several members of the BOD must be removed.
*The blackmail messages resulted in a "Salem-like witch hunt" wherein many members of administration were accused of being the leaker.
*During the investigation, it was discovered that nathanpn accidentally created invite codes for the Hyptek administration Discord server. This causes the investigators to pin him as the leaker.
*Under immense pressure and citing a loss of trust in his colleagues, HTRF and REIS Developer nathanpn resigns from Hyptek completely.
*Several members of administration allegedly talked behind his back the moment he had left, and it was later found out that the created invites were by accident. Supervisor TheGreatOmni leaves Hyptek for Pinewood Builders.
*Moderator FDSA1234567 was publicly announced as the leaker and promptly fired. Later, it was found out that this was a ruse to fish out the leaker.
*During the peak of the Pinewood-Hyptek-Quantum conflict, Moderator and HST Trainer Hurrah123456 resigns from the administration with little explanation.
*Shortly after Hurrah's resignation, ChromeEight announces his resignation as both a Moderator and a HTRF Developer to pursue personal projects and due to his discontent with the administration.
**The letter left several notes on how the group should be improved, sparking strong discussion all over the Discord servers.
*HYbRID developer FuginCZ announces his resignation, but later retracted his resignation.
*The beforementioned resignation letter called for the administration to convene on October 14 in the form of a public press conference where several members of the community gave their own feedback during the meeting.
*The two meetings resulted in several reformations:
**Merging of the Board of Directors rank into the Moderator rank, giving the current BOD the choice of either Moderator or Developer.
**The Manager rank was also merged into the Supervisor rank.
**A Contributor rank was added for member to apply to become voluntary contributors for games.
**Development on HNPP, HYPURL, and REIS will slow down to focus on the HTRF as the main game for Hyptek. It would be the first in an effort to create a sci-fi lore theme across all Hyptek games.
**A new HTRF development team is being made, with former head developers ChromeEight and LouieK22 acting as consultants for the project.
*Shortly after Hurrah's resignation, Woof accuses Hurrah of being the leaker, claiming that the latter had shared a similar IP address to the one that the leaker had used when sending threats via Gmail.
*At the end of the events that transpired on October 12 to October 21, Hurrah issues warnings to several communities to stay clear of Hyptek and Woofmacht, such as The Map's Chatterbox Discord server. Woof issues a counter statement showing alleged proof that Hurrah conspired with Logocracy to "take down" Hyptek. Neither Hurrah nor Pinewood are yet to give any comment to this information.
====November====
*Mudkipscience becomes a Moderator and Samsterclone becomes a Supervisor.
*Through an anonymous vote in administration, FlightVector becomes Hyptek's Vice President on November 23.
*All development Discord servers for the HTRF, HNPP, REIS, and HYPURL have been discontinued in favor of a centralized Hyptek Development Discord server, which was announced to the public on November 24.
====December====
*TheCakeChicken released a website home page for the Hyptek website on December 9, which previously was only limited to being an admin backend panel.
*Andimal rejoins the administration, only to resign on December 31 due to lack of time to spare.
*A new verification system was implemented into the Discord servers on December 17.
*HNPP Version 2.2 was released to the public, implementing in-game regeneration after the blowout event on December 22.
*Cajess holds a winter art contest on Christmas Eve. Sebastian_Wilson, Herobrine4221 and StudoService1 win the contest.
===2019===
====January====
*HNPP Version 2.2 is patched with configurable Imperial and Metric unit options, groundwork for in-game currency, and some other bug fixes. 
====February====
*HYPURL Beta 0.6.0 is released, adding in-game jobs and other content to the game.
====March====
*HNPP Version 2.2.1 is released, adding zombies and a certain task to the gameplay experience.
*Woofmacht announces a formal letter on March 21 stating his intention to step down as Hyptek's owner. In the process, he endorses cosmicguy as a potential successor.
*A poll is announced on March 23 to elect the next President of Hyptek, See the results here
*The presidential polls result in fighting among members and administration alike over the capabilities of the candidates.
*The Contributor role is phased out in favor of a Developer Candidate role.
*Woofmacht chooses to nullify the votes and asks the administration who they think should be President, and why.
====April====
*Woof formally hands over ownership of the group to cosmicguy on April 3, 2019. As a first directive, Cosmic publicly apologizes for the drama caused by the presidential polls and promises to appoint a Vice President.
*TheCakeChicken becomes Vice President, succeeding FlightVector (Aberrant) on April 4.
*On April 26, Reactor Testing Inc. (RTI) merged with Hyptek. The RTI administration completed its transition to Hyptek's administration the following day. 
====August====
*On August 14 at around 6:30 PM EST, cosmicguy issued an emergency meeting with the administration, during this meeting it was discussed about how all but seven people would be fired from the administration (Cajess, Woofmacht, Aeseru, Sebastian_Wilson, CzachuPL, FDSA123567, and FlightVector). Those who weren't on the list were to be demoted to either Contributor or Supervisor, or they would be reviewed to see if they will stay as their rank.
* After the list was revealed, administrators who did not make the list left retirement messages in the announcements channel of the Hyptek Discord server, which were later deleted.
* Those who retired later on migrated to the group Plasma Inc.
* After some time, the reason behind the August 14 firings was revealed to be in-fighting as a result of Chaos Faction developers cosmicguy, Woofmacht and Aeseru wishing to pivot away from facility roleplay games against the wishes of the other administration members.
*As a result, HNPP and HYPURL were moved to Plasma Inc. The HNPP was rebranded as the Broken Hill Nuclear Power Station (BHNPS) and HYPURL was rebranded as the Plasma Underground Research Lab (PURL).
*Despite only being open for a short time, Chaos Faction is closed due to bugs.
====September====
*On September 22, cosmicguy steps down as President and Moderator FDSA123567 becomes the new President.
*TheCakeChicken regains her role as Vice President.
*A new game was announced to be in development but later ceases due to group inactivity. The group is rendered dead at this point.
===2020===
====March====
*TheCakeChicken announces the group is no longer active and encourages remaining members to move to Plasma Inc instead.
