A short history...

Thegroup was founded in the year 2001 consisting of the members: Carl, Paul, and one Matt. Soon thereafter Billy joined the fray by the request of Paul, but sadly at the expense of one Matt. For a time, it was good. Billy was possibly the first outward racist of the entire group. The consensus of group experts unanimously agree that it was billy who made popular (and maybe even introduced) the word "Nigger" within the group. It w as at this point that Paul introduced possibly his last member to the group before The Ides of Paul, Colton. Originally a group of 4, For 52 weeks, every week, Paul, Billy, Colton, and Carl would spend one night overnight at another persons house. Things were good. After awhile, through a random act of generosity the then timid Jim was invited to spend time with the group. The group hit it off well, and with little hesitation Jim was added to the ranks. This was known as the Era of 5. Group memes such as the pentagrim come from this chapter in the group's history. In under a week, Mitch followed suit, and joined thegroup. This collection of peoples existed as a solid entity for almost a year, when the Great Recruitment was begun. For awhile, Jim pestered the then dominant Paul and Carl for permission to allow Andy in to the group. The application was initially denied, mostly because Carl is/was an arrogant prick. Nevertheless, Andy was alowed to enter after a semi-serious application process was created and used for him and the now fallen Dustin. Around this time, Carl met Will, in AP Psychology, and through a series of awkward invites, convinced him to attend a game of D&D at Mitch's house. Will also sat with Jim & Mitch at lunch, which was where he was first exposed to (some might say) excessive use of the word "nigger".

This was the beginning of the end of the old ways. Tempting and scheming was afoot in all parts of the group (or at least the parts that were important), and a coup involving Carl and Jim plotted against and severed ties with Paul. It would be months before this rift was healed properly. Just as any coup that is successful breeds only contempt for its leaders, so did contempt brew and grow for both Carl and Jim. A slight fracture in the friendship, only worsened by Carl dating Jim's ex, ruptured into at least 6 months of hatred and lies.

Thegroup exists to this day, celebrating/crying-over 8 years of groupiness.
