Come Let Us Attack Their Flank!(song)

*Come, Let Us Attack Their Flank!* is a UTC march encouraging an exploitation of a flank attack. The tune is taken from the *Marchent sur la Bastille* or the similar sounding and obviously based theme of "*On Vas Leur, Percer Le Flanc!*"(Come, let us pierce their flank!).

## Lyrics

*Come, let us attack their flank!*
*None such a plan, which is better than..!*
*Come, let us attack their flank!*
 *Attack them where they're weakest!*
*Attack them where they're weakest!*
 *Who still lies asleeping..?*
*While our foes are speeding..?*
 *All the lads are charging!*
*Now our foes are routing!*
***Repeat Chorus***
Raid

A **raid**, also known as **depredation,** is a Company military mission with a purpose of attacking and then later retreating or disengaging to safety before the enemy has a chance to respond, immediately after finishing the objective. The 111th Frostbain's Battle Honour: *Knoxmoor 2016*, is an example of a highly successful raid.

Raids in-game are usually for a specific military purpose, utilizing intelligence and with a specific goal in mind.

**The purpose of a raid may include:**

* *to demoralize, confuse, or exhaust the enemy*
* *to ransack, pillage, or plunder*
* *to destroy specific goods or installations of military or economic value*
* *to kill specific key persons*
* *to gather intelligence.*

## Al Hasa Raids

**Al Hasa Raids** or colloquially shortened as a ***Hasa Raid*** is a common type of raiding wherein members of the UNKNOWN [?] Trading Company, armed with the common knowledge of the frequency of Al Hasa fights, invades the area and engages everyone they see to capture and acquire stuff to be used by the Company.

Al Hasa raids provide an exciting, dynamic way of producing iron armor, diamond swords, infinity bows and other valuable items.
Proxy

*Proxy* is the first book in the pair of books by Alex London, released in 2013. *Proxy* is set in a dystopian tech future where the gap between the very wealthy and the very poor is extremely large. Technology is so embedded into everyday life, it is integrated into the people themselves. *Proxy* is a fast-paced, gripping LGBTQIA novel that does not focus on the protagonist's sexuality, but instead examines the structure of a society where the wealthy and the poor are so vastly separated that the poor are born owing their very lives to those who are only different because they are rich.

## Summary

Knox was born into a wealthy family. He has anything he could possibly need and little regard for his Proxy, Syd, the boy who takes punishment for Knox's misdeeds. Syd, one of the poor citizens of the city, has acquired debt merely by going to school, and by being a Proxy works to pay off this debt to his Patron. Anytime Knox breaks rules, Syd has to pay for it. When Knox crashes a car, killing someone, Syd is branded and sentenced to death. Like that, his life is forfeit.

Yet he and Knox have in common a disregard for the warped system in which both of them are trapped. Together, they embark from the city, fleeing across empty desert. They discover that they aren't so different as it would seem, that they aren't the only ones wanting to rebel against the system they were forced into, and that they are no ordinary pair of Patron and Proxy.

Drill

**Drills** or **Training**, is a regular Company Event that seeks to build teamwork between members and hone skills such as leadership, initiative, discipline and PvP. It involves Company Members, but regimentals are allowed to participate. The Drills usually take place on the UTC Build Server, which is sometimes called the Drill Server, but if the server is down for whatever reason, the event would take place on GG in Shotbow.
Imperialism

**Imperialism** means to extend a country's power through military and diplomacy. Its name originated from the Latin word *"imperium"*, which means to rule over large territories. Imperialism is "a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means". The term Imperialism has been applied to the era of the Second Renaissance, and the Company's 2016 Foreign Policies which opened up the UNKNOWN [?] Trading Company from its previous isolationist policies to be more open to the Shotbow Community, particularly MineZ.

In MineZ, the Company maintains what it considers an empire both "formal" and "informal" with the former under direct control of the Company through membership and or association and the latter being influenced through association by sharing or adopting common values, ideas and interests.

## Justification by the Company

The UNKNOWN [?] Trading Company's Imperialist policies has largely been a self-defensive reaction rather than any overtly aggressive desire to subdue or control MineZ. The Company's bitter experience fighting admins, premiums and celebrity players over the game has created a marked distrust between the UTC and Shotbow. However, the Company was also assisted or even joined by admins, premiums and celebrity players in the fighting who believed in the Company's values and philosophies.

Many of the UTC's strength and help came from areas that it had already influenced and because of its influence and allies, they were able to weather through the admin abuses and premium attacks. Realizing this, this gave the UTC the idea that in some ways, their enemies or acquaintances could be taught or shown the superiority of the Company's structure and way of life, which would offer a better option for clans and groups to play the game, as shown by Shotbow's decline of 2014. This in turn would bother the UTC much less or at least, offend the Company in far more acceptable or expected manners.

This was affirmed in an Empire issue, where Irishkaiser proclaimed that spreading the Company's way of life and ideals is therefore seen as a way to help defend the Company by defeating the enemy's culture rather than the enemy's players.

UTCpedia

A Wiki about one of Shotbow's most historic MineZ clans.

## Welcome to the UTCpedia

A Wiki about one of Shotbow Network's most historic and influential clans in MineZ. Hover over the "Wiki Content" section to find a multitude of different pages.

## About UTCpedia

The UNKNOWN [?] Trading Company or UTC has boasted itself as the most organized and effective force in MineZ and possibly even all of Shotbow. The Company has a long and proud history and has been a part of the Shotbow Community as it has developed, even having a hand in influencing its course. Plenty of clans have attempted to copy the UTC's methods for themselves. Shotbow's Weekly Arrow changelog and news sections are taken from the admin-backed Night's Watch's Crow which was inspired by the Empire Company Newspaper.

The UNKNOWN [?] Trading Company has also offered an alternative playstyle, hope and social advancement without the need for premium which most other Shotbow communities and sub-communities seem to end up with. Its unique philosophy, beliefs and proud heritage has landed it a place as a legendary clan. This Wikia was made at the inevitability of the deletion of our Archive on minezwiki.net but opens the possibility of expanding and documenting this dynamic clan.

Seniors Theodore Finch and Violet Markey meet on the ledge of the high school bell tower, both thinking about jumping. Finch contemplates the various ways he could die on a daily basis; Violet is failing to move on after the car accident that killed her sister eight months ago. Formerly strangers, the two talk each other down and end up in a strange pseudo-friendship.

In their only shared class, U.S. Geography, Finch cajoles Violet into partnering with him on a project that will send them across the state to visit the various sites that make Indiana special. Though initially reluctant, Violet finds that around Finch -- known as Theodore Freak among her friends -- she is able to be honest about her grief, and she doesn't have to pretend like she is moving on. And around Violet, Finch doesn't have to put on a fake identity; he can simply be his quirky self.

As the project progresses, the two become more and more comfortable together, finding that they like each other romantically as well. And through Finch, Violet slowly learns to move away from Eleanor's death and go on with her life. For Finch, however, life becomes more and more about Violet as he struggles to piece together his identity and stay fully Awake.

The Eye of Minds

US hardcover

*The Eye of Minds* is the first novel in the Mortality Doctrine series by James Dashner. It follows a boy and his two best friends in a virtual reality game system as they track down a dangerous hacker.

## Teaser

"An all-new, edge-of-your seat adventure from James Dashner, the author of the *New York Times* bestselling Maze Runner series, *The Eye of Minds*is the first book in The Mortality Doctrine, a series set in a world of hyperadvanced technology, cyberterrorists, and gaming beyond your wildest dreams . . . and your worst nightmares.

Michael is a gamer. And like most gamers, he almost spends more time on the VirtNet than in the actual world. The VirtNet offers total mind and body immersion, and it’s addictive. Thanks to technology, anyone with enough money can experience fantasy worlds, risk their life without the chance of death, or just hang around with Virt-friends. And the more hacking skills you have, the more fun. Why bother following the rules when most of them are dumb, anyway?

But some rules were made for a reason. Some technology is too dangerous to fool with. And recent reports claim that one gamer is going beyond what any gamer has done before: he’s holding players hostage inside the VirtNet. The effects are horrific—the hostages have all been declared brain-dead. Yet the gamer’s motives are a mystery.

The government knows that to catch a hacker, you need a hacker.
And they’ve been watching Michael. They want him on their team.
But the risk is enormous. If he accepts their challenge, Michael will need to go off the VirtNet grid. There are back alleys and corners in the system human eyes have never seen and predators he can’t even fathom—and there’s the possibility that the line between game and reality will be blurred forever."

Lost Woods Shrine

Coordinates
 Region
 Occupied by

***Lost Woods Shrine***is a strategically important UTC outpost in the middle of the Northern Forests in the Westerlands. Built by SharpFlex and submitted alongside the Shire on the 29th of July, 2013, it was immediately placed in-game the next day by NicolaLeveey.

This small, insignificant location with little to no noticeable production of any sorts is ignored by most players and barely visited at all, but is considered by the Company as an important forward operating base for expeditions outside and within the Westerlands.

Its near-central position has given it the extensive ability to project force across the entire region and to launch missions into the Midlands from across the Milky River. The Company, specifically the 93rd Regiment of Virtues, has garrisoned the area and claimed it as a Company Territory for its ability to control the Westerlands region.

## History

### ***Before the Empire(2012-2014)***

Before the *Empire*, Lost Woods Shrine was and is still seen as an insignificant stop point except to those who need water after getting lost in the woods, which was rare. The loot level was sub-par in comparison to other Northern places and the amount of zombies that spawn around it deterred most players from even thinking of settling.

Nothing significant happened around Lost Woods shrine, save for a few fights that spilled from nearby Crowmure, but that happened only on occasion and when the port city was popular. After Crowmure went into decline, Lost Woods Shrine became completely abandoned.

### ***GunOverdose Arrives(2014)***

Soon after GunOverdose became a Company Member, he discovered Lost Woods Shrine while travelling across the Northern Forests to complete a mission. Noticing its lack of bandits and central position in the Westerlands and therefore its potential strategic nature of serving as a hub for easy flow of supplies and goods, GunOverdose placed an alt into the area, turning it into a Company Territory by settlement and the rest of the 93rd Regiment of Virtues followed soon after.

When the 93rd Regiment of Virtues grew and started supplying the Company with legendaries, Lost Woods Shrine also grew and was officially incorporated as a Company Territory. It was easier to place men and material in Lost Woods Shrine in anticipation for a mission from nearby Company Territories and allowed the UTC's control to expand the whole Northwest mainland and even give it easy distance to reaching the Midlands, thus putting Frostbain under UTC influence.

By late 2014 and early 2015, most of the Company imports are dropped off at Lost Woods Shrine before they are redistributed to other areas.

The Cemetery Boys

US hardcover

*The Cemetery Boys* is the first standalone novel from author Zac Brewer (published as Heather Brewer), influenced heavily by Stephen King.

## Plot Teaser

"When Stephen is forced to move back to the nowhere town where his father grew up, he’s already sure he’s not going to like it. Spencer, Michigan, is like a town straight out of a Hitchcock movie, with old-fashioned people who see things only in black-and-white. But things start looking up when Stephen meets the mysterious twins Cara and Devon. They’re total punks–hardly the kind of people Stephen’s dad wants him hanging out with–but they’re a breath of fresh air in this backward town. The only problem is, Cara and Devon don’t always get along, and as Stephen forms a friendship with the charismatic Devon and something more with the troubled Cara, he starts to feel like he’s getting caught in the middle of a conflict he doesn’t fully understand. And as Devon’s group of friends, who hang out in a cemetery they call The Playground, get up to increasingly reckless activities to pass the summer days, Stephen worries he may be in over his head.

Stephen’s fears prove well-founded when he learns of Spencer’s dark past. It seems the poor factory town has a history of “bad times,” and many of the town’s oldest residents attribute the bad times to creatures right out of an urban legend. The legend goes that the only way the town will prosper again is if someone makes a sacrifice to these nightmarish creatures. And while Stephen isn’t one to believe in old stories, it seems Devon and his gang might put a lot of faith in them. Maybe even enough to kill for them.

Now, Stephen has to decide what he believes, where his allegiances lie, and who will really be his friend in the end."

America Singer

novel cover from The Selection

America Singer is the middle child of five. In Illéa, there is a caste system, where Ones are royalty, and goes down to Eights, also known as the 'untouchables'. America and her family are Fives, which mean they are Artists and Performers. She meets Aspen Leger, a Six (Workers) in a treehouse after curfew where they date and confess their love for each other.

America applies for The Selection in order to get her mother to agree to let her work alone and keep half of her earnings, not expecting to be picked. She is, however, and she and Aspen argue and ultimately break up. Arriving at the palace, she struggles through the Selection process, and makes friends with Marlee Tames and an impression on Prince Maxon. Due to rebel attacks, the Selection process was sped up, and the Elite six were named, and America was one of them.

Aspen found himself assigned as a castle guard, and quickly found himself guarding America's suite. They met up in secret nooks throughout the palace, and America found herself torn between Maxon and Aspen.

America is often quick to jump to other's aid, which includes her friend Marlee when she was found kissing a palace guard and sentenced to a caning. She often brought her ladies maids to safety during rebel raids, and patched up Maxon after King Clarkson beat him due to America's televised philanthropy that demanded an end to the caste system.

America continued to be a thorn in King Clarkson's side, and he attempted to undermine her and Prince Maxon's relationship at every chance.

The night before the final Selection, Maxon finds out about America and Aspen's previous relationship, and leaves in a rage, vowing to choose Kriss over America. At the final ceremony, the rebels attack, and attempt to kill America. Maxon leaps in front of her, and takes a bullet for her.

Once the attack is over, America learns that both King Clarkson and Queen Amberly have been killed, and Maxon is now King. He proposes to her, and she accepts.

America and Maxon have five children, Eadlyn, Schreve and Ahren, who are twins, and Kaden and Osten, two younger boys. Eadlyn is heir to the Illéan throne.

## Personality:

Chocolate Cake is a highly cynical person that is used to thinking of the negatives about others. First of all, his life felt normal and it was normal. He was a normal object that lived a happy live when he was young but one day, his mother was shot dead by his dad when he was 8 years old (his father is currently still in prison ever since the year he shot dead his own wife) and due to that, he had to live with his aunt and uncle and CC still lives with them. Ever since that shooting, that's when his live's downfall occurred. He started to realize how messed up the world is and because of this, he became more cynical, pessimistic and less trusting towards others. Chocolate Cake is an outcast (well, kind of). But he still knows how to talk to others, he has become smarter over the years and is kind of a geek. He likes to read books and to do stuff without others bothering him. He's now a geek that enjoys making sarcastic remarks towards others, is very cynical but he can get competitive (it doesn't happen too often btw). CC is also an only child, which is one of the things that CC is glad about. Water made a fake poster for a sarcasm contest. CC saw the fake poster outside his school and then a couple of people saw this as well. The people that saw the poster at that time forced him to sign up for the sarcasm contest because of his deadpan attitude. How will Chocolate Cake cope with BFAP? Will he survive?
