Team Domino

Team Domino is a New Animation Sword Fighting Superclan on Roblox originally created by ; has been the leader of Team Domino since early 2020. Team Domino's status as a superclan was originally achieved through the repeated use of free VIP games.
== History ==
The group was originally created by Kohltastrophe sometime in early 2012, then PiePerson50 got the group. The amount of members in the group rose rapidly along with the popularity of Pie's games. Eventually, Pie was perm-banned for a specific amount of time, and a robloxian known as McKramer took control for a short amount of time. He later gave the group to Basketsgolba. (Millenary after his name change) Many players considered the Basketsgolba era of Team Domino the golden era of the group, as many members think Baskets reformed the group into a "true" war group, creating a new base and training facility for the group. Eventually, Pieperson50 got his ban lifted, and retained control of the group, to the dismay of many robloxians. This made a lot of the TD members angry, as such there had been many rebellions set up against Pie to get Basketsgolba back in control. Basket's appeals had been rejected. For this reason, Pieperson50 owned the group until July 3. NarccShovel is the true leader of the group due to Pieperson50's inactivity regarding Team Domino's affairs. On January 12, 2013, Team Domino beat the super-clan Urban Assault Forces in a final battle that determined the winner of the war between the two groups. Team Domino was determined to be the winner, with U.A.F.'s leader, Discoheaven, admitting defeat to Team Domino. On July 3, 2015, at midnight EST, Pieperson50 handed the group over to NarccShovel. On August 12, 2015, The1StoryOfMyLife stole Team Domino from NarccShovel, in the end he gave it back. Team Domino entered back into relevance when they entered the Sword Clan Community and participated in the 2017 Summer RoWar. Following the summer war, Team Domino was victorious against Legion Bavarian and has steadily become one of the best sword clans. In 2020, Team Domino participated in RoWar 2020, hosted by ATGuardian, with moderation help from TheCelvestian. The war pit 2 sides against one another (Order of the Phoenix [OOTP]) and (Norbod Nation [NN]). OOTP had won the war after numerous clans within NN pulled out due to lack of interest and exploiting concerns. Team Domino was one of the powerhouses of the war within NN, including FEAR and Cobalt Nation. As 2021 begins, a new chapter in the clan begins as Team Domino is attempting to make the shift toward a more hybrid clan after the return of ATGuardian after his retirement months prior.
== Criticism ==
Pieperson50 has promised free VIP on all of his games in exchange for joining Team Domino. This method of recruitment, known as Free VIP Recruiting, is responsible for a majority of the members within Team Domino. Because of this, many users within the clans community on Roblox do not consider Team Domino to be a legitimate war group. After a period of time, TD shook off that reputation and has been recognized as a war clan.
