AZIE

AZIE (rarely weirdly deciphered as the "assistive zealots infamous ensigns", albeit having different decipherment) is a tech clan based in Russian segment of GMod sandbox gamemode, on the Ugolochek(46.174.50.39:27015).
At the moment, AZIE is visiting servers apart from Ugol, on it's ongoing mission to find strange, new worlds, to discover new clans and people, their tech and their skills, to boldly go where no one has gone before.
AZIE's hierarchy is based on Ukraine's navi hierarchy, with `Seaman` being the lowest rank, and `Fleet grandadmiral` being the highest rank (although since `Fleet grandadmiral` is founder-exclusive rank, `Fleet admiral` might be considered the highest rank as well), every once in a while, meetings are called and, in case someone have broke AZIE's lawset, they are being judged, with punishments being either assigning `Incarcerated` role in discord (revoking rights, apart from reading discord server's channels), being demoted or being expelled (in some cases, expelled accused might be added to the blacklist, making it impossible for one to join AZIE back, although there were cases of blacklisted members returning back to the clan).
AZIE is a R&D clan, so it has variety of coders and builders, adding 4 extra ranks to the clan's hierarchy - `Builder`, `Designer`, `Programmer` and `Crusader` (soldier unit), although `Incarcerated` fellows cannot exercise their extra rights without permission of the higher-ups. There are also variety of roles for owners of extra games, such as Space Engineers, Grand theft auto V, Minecraft, etc, having such miscellaneous role unlocks game-specific categories in AZIE's discord server. 
==Notable war conflicts==
===Argent===
Argent is another clan on Ugol. Before running missions outside of Ugol, AZIE had to conquer and defeat Argent several times.
For the first war, Argent set up a requirement, that being dispatching a squad of 6 for the battle. Sadly, AZIE was way too small to fit that requirement, having us lose this war automatically.Second war had only one battle on it's account, it happened at winter-themed gm_bigcity map. Argent came up with a ruleset for the ongoing battle, which implied squads of 6 fighting in a deathmatch battle (no revives) for 2(3) rounds. First round was won by AZIE, since Argent's co-leader, Dark132, violated the "No revives" rule and rejoined the fight after death. Second round was won by Argent, since one of AZIE seamen (Cax4rok) used E2 cloak (during his trial, he was expelled from AZIE), third battle was won by AZIE and the war was concluded with AZIE's victory. During the war, 'Jackal'-class talepack, piloted by admiral Kornilov, was used to push enemies back. Incidentally, E2 extension of Wiremod was broken on Ugol, breaking almost every duplication AZIE have ever built, leaving us with talepack alone. It was, truly, a miracle, that we managed to break their ranks and win the battle.The second battle vs Argent was designated as an aerial fight, implying that only airships were permitted to use. For the fight, `Fortress`-class AAF Silentia was used as a flagship, with Walking Nuke AZ-12s and Chrysalis S-F being used as an escort. Argent, on it's side, was using Twerdinya flagships for offense, but since Silentia was built better and fit with more destructive weapons, both rounds were won by AZIE.Ever since, there were no wars against the Argent. Union, called Tribunal, was laid between Argent and AZIE and ever since, they were allies.
===The Turtles Nation (TTN-Tribunal war 1)===
TTN is a clan that is based on -That-Sandbox-Server-. Skull Killers Nation general, Raptor, appeared on Ugol (And is known as the only English player that stayed on Ugolochek, which is a russian server, for a while) and invited ST2005 to -That-Sandbox-Server-, apparently drafting AZIE into TTN-Tribunal war. For the battle, AZIE's R&D unit invented Barrelfield, an E2 shield; Stargate, teleporter array element; Inventa, AZIE's advanced flagship; Chrysalis Rusher, a highspeed skirmish craft; Astrum Australis, a railjack ripoff basically and Komorex - AZIE's battle rifle. There were 2 battles, during both battles Big Grin exercised his ULX rights to kick and ban Tribunal's members, some - permanently. There were at least 2 server restarts (to change map between gm_bigcity and gm_construct_flatgrass or something like that) and 1 server crash by everythingfan100
====First battle====
Battle was designated as KDR battle. AZIE have taken advantage over TTN twice in that battle, cornering them once in building behind skyscrappers of gm_bigcity and once in a room to the south of bigcity. During the second press on TTN, AZIE grunts were attempting to enter their bunker in order to take control over their spawnpoints, yet Big Grin realised that during this pursuit he could kill AZIE soldiers easier, by taking them down one-by-one during the ambush. It took rather much time for ST to realize that he've got damned on, yet wasn't too late for AZIE to temporarily retreat and find another way to break in, such as using Astrum Australis's hyperdrive to jump in their bunker and sweep them out.
In response to AZIE's advanced technologies used to attack TTN, Big Grin used ULX abuses. Sobachka3000, Argent's co-leader, was banned permanently from TSS, although at the moment it is not quite clear whether Sobachka is still banned or he've got unbanned.
====Second battle====
Second battle was initiated prematurely by Big Grin, although it is worth to point that the information was passed down by Raptor and that at this point we assume that the information in question was false meaning that Raptor have submitted a false report. Tech, made for the second battle with TTN, was quite the same, although the battle ended with Big Grin restricting prop access to everyone in the Tribunal, explaining it with our E2s hitting 2000+ OPS (which does not mean much, since the value that describes the lag is the CPU time, which was not exceeding 1000 microseconds at the time).
====Aftermath====
After fighting TTN and tolerating ULX abuses for a while, AZIE claimed victory in this war, which was greeted by other clans, such as TMU, TCR and SKN, as well as some players in Wiremod discord server. Reasons were Big Grin's ULX abuses, everythingfan's server crashes, several (perma)bans to our mates and TTN's general poor tech level, incomparable to AZIE's tech level, along with poor tactics, which couldn't lead them to discovering weapon that would destroy Inventa.
Although, despite AZIE "claimed victory" over TTN, it was violating official ACF rules: Astrum Australis and Inventa were using ACF weaponry and both were over 15T and were powered by E2 setposes, etc. As such, despite aforementioned victory "claim", AZIE could never claim one for it's ACF rules violations. Nevertheless, facts of Big Grin's ULX abuses stand firm: since he never was kicking/(perma)banning for illegal ACF tech exploitation (as in "such reason wasn't provided in ULX kick reason"), but for quite exaggerated reasons, which could apply to him and his clanmates himself, requiring him to kick/(p)ban themselves as well, he was abusing ULX rights.
===Numinex===
Numinex is Doom: Eternal roleplayers, having no technologies nor principles: during AZIE's attempt to fight them, they've raised E2 blinders and E2 propkillers (E2 chips that deal fatal, inevadable blows) and during the second fight, AZIE was banned for violating the rule that was not violated.
==Uniform and nickname tags==
AZIE never had strict requirements regarding playermodel, nickname or something. Every AZIE member is free to use whatever playermodel they prefer and are not required to add [AZIE] tag to their nickname.
==Technologies==
