AZIE

AZIE is a tech-targeted clan that comes from russian region of GMod. AZIE stands for it's founders' initials. It was one of Tribunal's founders until the Tribunal fell apart.
== History ==
===Relations With Argent===
Argent was AZIE's ally before it dissolved. Before then, some unfair and undocumented fights took place. At that point, AZIE was claiming victories, so did Argent. None of those battles are further acknowledged because they took place outside of meta described in this wiki.
===The Turtle Nation (TTN-Tribunal War)===
The Turtle Nation (TTN) is a faction that is based in -That-Sandbox-Server- (TSS). The Skull Killers Nation (SKN) 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 the TTN-Tribunal war. For the battle, AZIE's R&D unit invented the Barrelfield, an E2 shield, Stargate, a teleporter array element; Inventa, AZIE's advanced flagship, Chrysalis Rusher, a highspeed skirmish craft, Astrum Australis, a Railjack rip-off, and Komorex, AZIE's battle rifle. There were 2 battles, and during both battles Big Grin exercized his ULX rights to kick and ban Tribunal's members, some of them permanately. There were at least 2 server restarts to change maps and 1 server crash by everythingfan100.
====First Battle====
The battle was designated as K/D ratio battle. AZIE had taken advantage over TTN twice in that battle, cornering them once in a building behind the skyscrappers of gm_bigcity and once in a room to the south of the map. During the second push on TTN, AZIE grunts were attempting to enter their bunker in order to take control over their spawnpoints. However, during the pursuit, Big Grin realized that he could kill AZIE soldiers easier by taking them down one-by-one during the ambush. It took some time for ST to realize that his forces were being killed, but it 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 into their bunker and sweep them out.
In response to AZIE's advanced technologies used to attack TTN, Big Grin abused his ULX powers. Sobachka3000, Argent's co-leader, was banned permanently from TSS. It is not quite clear whether Sobachka is still banned or not.
====Second Battle ====
The 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 submitted a false report. The tech that was 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, justifying this action by saying that their E2s were hitting 2,000+ OPS, which did not mean much, since the value that actually shows lag is the CPU time, which was not exceeding 1,000 microseconds at the time. 
====Aftermath====
After fighting TTN and tolerating ULX abuses for a while, AZIE claimed victory, which was agreed upon by other clans, such as The Marxist Union (TMU), TCR, SKN, as well as some players in Wiremod Discord server. AZIE's reasons were because of Big Grin's ULX abuses, everythingfan's server crashes, several permabans of their members, TTN's general poor tech level compared to AZIE's, and poor tactics, which couldn't lead them to discovering a weapon that would destroy the Inventa.
Despite AZIE's claimed victory over TTN, AZIE had violated official ACF rules. The Astrum Australis and Inventa were using ACF weaponry and both were over 15T and were powered by E2 setposes. Because of this, AZIE could never actually claim victory because of its ACF rule violations. Nevertheless, Big Grin's ULX abuses were still unjustified since he never kicked or banned AZIE members for illegal ACF tech exploitation, but for other exaggerated reasons, which could apply to him and his members.
=== "Reactivation" of 26.03.22 ===
Due to certain reasons, the clan members were relieved from duties for an unspecified amount of time, since there was nobody to run it (ST2005 invested his time to game development, actively maintaining AZIE: Games studio that's unrelated to this clan; CoffeQZB was playing other games and Lenofag wasn't willing to take part in meta in first place). But after Russia's invasion in Ukraine happened and ST2005 became a refugee, he stopped working on AAAA2 of AZIE Games and returned to GMod for an unspecified amount of time, reactivating the clan's workflow.
After that, AZIE stopped recognizing most of it's tech and every past event that happened in it's history, considering them "Old AZIE period": AZIE doesn't recognize battles with Argent, doesn't claim victory in Tribunal-TTN war (nor it could in first place) and doesn't claim victory in battle with Numinex (although AZIE can do so, since Numinex was using illegal e2 tech that violated battlefield-server's rules and common sense). It began several projects to build both ACF crafts (Combat-type) and Wire-only crafts (Wire-type).
=== Termination of 12.04.22 ===
It was found out that majority of AZIE members, those that were russian at least, supported russian invasion into Ukraine of 2022. At first, decision to expel every pro-putin member was made, but once first batch of russian fascists was returned back to someone else, it was determined that the clan must be terminated as soon as possible to prevent further spreading of "special operation" and "russian world/peace" ideas. Every ex-AZIE member was later banned from AZIE: Games discord server, disregarding their standing towards russia's aggression as last AZIE moments have shown that not everyone who doesn't show their support of the war are actually against the war.
Lenofag-2000 (third leader of AZIE): Shortly before termination, ST2005 ran a vote, asking about "supporting special operation" (in Ukraine). Four members answered with "+" (they were joking), but he still banned them. I (Lenofag-2000) unbanned them, but ST2005 didn't liked it, and he dramatically deleted Discord server, terminating the AZIE.
==Uniform and Tags==
AZIE demands that it's members equip special outfit (provided by an e2 chip) so they are distinguishable from enemies. Apart from that, AZIE members are free to wear any skin, color or nickname they want.
==Organization==
=== Founders ===
Unless founders are retired or are unavailable in a different way, they control every aspect of clan's workflow. This would make the description of clan's organization as dictatorship or alike, but founders are fond of gathering the council to consult regarding their next steps. In other words, the de-jure form of government in AZIE is dictatorship, but it's democratic de-facto. 
=== Council ===
Council consists of every fleet admiral, admiral and vice-admiral, as well as key personas that directly affect the clan's workflow. They are people that founders consult with during meetings, about making decisions.
=== Officers ===
==== Soldiers ====
Soldiers are troop units that sometimes use portable tech to carry out missions.
==== Drivers ====
Drivers are soldiers who are driving vehicles to carry out missions. Drivers must, at all times, assist usual soldiers and put soldiers' needs over their main mission, as soldiers are the main units during a clan battle.
==== Engineers ====
Engineers are E2 coders and builders. They must create vessels for drivers and gadgets for soldiers.
==Other ==
Since 26.03.2022, AZIE has made it's database public in format of a website.
