Inferno 9 started unlike many other groups with a bunch of strangers involved. Everyone inside it knew Frank though in one way or
another but other than that we were all strangers to eachother. I mean I sure had Tompa Carloz from the past as much as
Eric Wright had Proxan, and Frank had Joey from earlier on, but personally it felt like I was with a bunch of strangers.
The priority back then on members were their roleplay abilities and professionalism on whatever subject you could ever imagine. Eventually
we started to arrange server-wide roleplay events and the population on that was crazy for the first 10 times but after that people
would get upset when they heard about the so-called "Jungle Call" ahaha. The roleplay inside the group at that time were always entertaining
and I was learning alot from everyone inside it, and I obviously were feeling untouchable cause I was with the "top dogs" - atleast that's
what I thought.
Time went on, members left, members came, the group went down in value when it came to people's ability to roleplay and their professionalism
and this was cause we had fished up so many new players for the time being but I guess it was understandable for people that followed our progress. Something that didn't crash in value though were the friendship we started to build inside the group.
Friendship now became the main priority and we would not recruit anybody to the group that wasn't known amongst the members very well.
Since we had so many new players around us and since it was hard to manage them altogether we decided to open a "side group" that would work alongside us with new players. This group got called "Inferno apprentices - [iA]" and was led by Marcus Williams (now known as Yuri Gvardia and for many "Lance Wilson").
Lance did a great job and recruited people that would help him out and one of them happend to be "Dezaster". Dezaster put great effort into what he was doing back then, and his professionalism was soon noticed by Inferno 9 which led to us eventually recruiting him to the group.
He's today known as Jethro Smith and has been leading Inferno 9 for months under the vision of the group founders.
I can't remember what it was that caused [iA] to shut down, probably Marcus Williams had problems with activity, so it was shut down and people inside it would continue to
pay their loyality to Inferno 9 tagless, and they still hung out on GS9 daily.
At the end of 2009 Inferno 9 won the award "Best roleplay group" and it wasn't expected seeing as we only had the group running for half a month so it was a great boost for us.
Groups tried to get with us, people tried to get with us, but we never -ever- put an alliance official with groups. Inferno 9 was seeking to build 'alliances' with people personally instead, unlike the other groups around back then. But sure, we had Wilson with us which I considered an alliance but nothing was official like I said.
At the start of 2010 things had changed quite well. I wouldn't say that only the group changed but the server aswell, this led us to operate differently. Many new players were added to the group and we didn't put people's roleplay first like we had done previously. But still we had this friendship inside the group and it would only make us stronger, everyone seemed to enjoy it and everyone stayed loyal to the group for a long time without anyone leaving.
Eventually key members like Sisko White left and we didn't bother with filling the spots we had lost cause honestly we couldn't find anyone good enough to fullfil
what they had left behind. We carried on with less than 9 members that we were known for having a cap on, though, we still had our associates outside the group.
One year already? Damn 2011.
Inferno 9 wasn't as popular now as it was in 2010 and groups by our sides were trying to ruin the reputation we had built up, nobody cared really. Anyone that talked trash about the group would now get handled. A kid was yappin shit and got shot up, claimed to be 'deathmatched', and that's how everyone's reaction was when we responded to people's bullshit that they were talking, and all attempts to have us down.
This is the main reason why the majority of group leaders are nowadays calling us a "deathmatch" group, mixed with their immaturity.
We'd go out there and shoot anyone we knew talked trash about us, questions wasn't an option - answers were all bullets.
Doing this for almost a year though got boring and everyday was the same for awhile. The only thing that kept us alive was new players in our surroundings and how
people within the group enjoyed to hang out with eachother - we were -always- together out there, always.
So we're officially closing the group. Why? Why not. We did everything we could with this group and we got everything we wanted out of it. We are a bunch of ballas that will continue to hang out regardless what happens. We have seen the top, we have seen the buttom, we have seen pretty much everything a group can see and I consider that a good achievement.
Yeah I know that I've probably forgot to mention some people but I'm that good motherf**ker at writing down 2 years of experience in one post, remember? A big thanks to everyone out there that has been following our progress from day one to the end, it's appreciated.Special thanks to:

Last but no least, thanks to Box3r for being the most annoying person for all these two years.
