Help: Lineage and / Geneology for Societies

[Rayne Jade]

Fellow Colonists,

Some of you may have noticed that I am interested in the history of our Planet Calypso. As a project for me, that you might find interesting as well, I would like to compile a "Family Tree" so to speak of the Societies that populate our little rock.

Please reply with information such as:

When your society was born
Societies that grew from yours (maybe a few members left to form a new soc)

An example would be something like this:

Irken Invaders (Founded 26 FEB 2005)... members left to form Novus Ordo Seclorum (Founded 25 JAN 2006)... formation of junior NOS soc became Praetorian Guard (Founded 22 APR 2006).

See what I mean? Just include the dates of creation please. I think it would be interesting to see how interwoven we all might be.

Thanks for you time and good luck out there

EDIT: Let's set the record straight. I am looking for how some socs may have grown from other socs, or just the formation of socs in general. I do not want to read about someone getting scammed or feeling hurt or whatever... the reasons behind a group leaving a soc to form another soc are not important for this thread.

Thanks!

well you seem to know enough about my soc, so I'll just wish you luck

Only because I was an Irken many moons ago

Interesting project. I will start it off with a little info from Rat Pack.

Rat Pack formed on March 16, 2008. Started with 14 members, and now currently up to 46 members, and growing.

Skillin' Villains was founded on 12 November 2005 by Larry Compusmurf Wright. There were some connections with TWU Direct but I'm not sure of the details as I didn't join EU till a few months later. One of the original members can probably fill you in.

I can only think of one direct spin-off from SV, which was Rowdoc leaving to set up Calypso Settlers, I'm not sure of the dates. Hiro Protagonist (thoreau on EF) also left to form another soc, The Seven Samurai, but they don't exist any more as far as I know. However he does now have another soc, Viva La Swamp Camp.

Great idea btw

Thanks, Oleg! Nice info and just a little detective work at the Soc Terminal and I can fill in a few blanks. Great stuff

Years ago Calypso Conquerors (CC) was a top-3 soc, and they had a cadets soc named Calypso Conqueror Cadets (CCC), who were in top-20.

After the dramatic and infamous botting incident leading to CCs collapse, CCC split into 2 new socs: Shoot To Kill (StK) and Dawn Daemons (DD).
Shoot To Kill later became mostly a mining soc and changed name to Mine To Drill and then to Mine to Extract (MtE), while DD specialized in PKing.

Graphically it could be shown something like this:

CC        ***
 |    ->   |   ->  StK + DD  ->  MtD + DD
CCC       CCC

Today MtD is in top-20 and DD in top-10.

The PE Addicts were founded on July 29, 2006 by Markus "Mackbrich" Ljungberg and myself. The only known society to have come from a former PE Addict was Full Metal Inc. founded on February 20,2008 by Matt "Mace" Larsson.

I'm looking forward to seeing the end result!

26/7 2003 Black Pearl (BP) (5 members to date) was founded by Connor Mac McKinnon. The society still exist, yet it is unactive.
Black Pearl was joined by two former Hunters Unlimited members in febuary 04, who brought the society new life, and soon became the BP advisors (me and Gnasher).

01/06 2005 Origin of Symmetry (OoS) (disbanded) was founded by the two former BP advisors, Gnasher (as Captain) and Myself (as advisor). Most active BP members jumped ship to OoS, so to speak.

9/11/ 2006 Rabbids (rBit) (26 members to date) was founded by me (Captain), and Shadow-Ale (Advisor). IIRC Shadow-Ale had been a part of a society called "Zychion Citizens" before joining OoS and then forming Rabbids with me.
Most OoS members decided to join Rabbids, and OoS was soon disbanded.

Later three members of Calypso Monkeys joined Rabbids aswell. I think they were pretty much the only active ones there, so you could say Calypso Monkeys somewhat grew into Rabbids.
Exactly how Calypso Monkeys formed I am not aware of.
