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.

Why close it? Why don't close it? There was a reason that Inferno 9 was given Best criminal group after just a several months. You are the group who're not running around with a combat shotgun, but actually creating huge memorial events such as Protest against Police Violence, the jungle call against S.R.U and LSPD, etc.

Inferno 9 is and will always be the best criminal group, and I can't see anything else. It is sad to see you go off, but I wish you best of luck achieving success in the future guys.

See ya around ballas'


If you are here for doing random event stuff, I'd recommend a free roam server. We're not that anymore. We're a roleplay server.

As we reach the 31st of December 2011, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your warm support over the past two indispensable years.  As Jimmy, our branch manager has announced - we have taken the decision to close the group in good faith and have agreed that the 30st of December 2011 will be our last as INFERNO 9. We have not taken this decision lightly and it has been in the works for the last 2 months. A large factor that contributed towards this decision was the need for change in real life and maturing needs rendered our operational capacity frailer than ever before.

We remain confident our efforts to date will not be in vain and are optimistic that our legacy will be used as the benchmark in teaching new talent for the future.  We hope our sense of belonging and cohesion can be used as a framework in aim of being integrated into other similar families with a parallel vision in direct compliance with the relaying Argonath vision. We believe that through our efforts we've had a positive impact on the community through our reign as the premier balla themed movement. In turn, we've collected many accolades including the 'best roleplay group of 2009' and non-official 'runner up best roleplay group of 2010'. On the back of these successes, our time tested adherence resulted in no bans being issued to any INFERNO 9 members with the offense being committed while in the group. In summary, we are proud yet remain humble to retain one of the most successful timeline of events for any criminal group before us and continue to set the precedent for others to surpass against in the forthcoming future of SA:MP Argonath. 

Black Blue White -Hakuba Time Lapse-

Whilst saying this, these awards are - just materialistic in value and are no substitute for experiencing the inner core of INFERNO 9. The real INFERNO 9 is driven by the passion for the community, its new people and the underlying global friendships we've come to cherish.  Our passion for the community has been rigorously demonstrated by having the courage to challenge practised principles and integrating different methodologies of RP. This has been compounded by our willingness to accommodate different tiers of membership and having the audacity to change their ways which has attracted controversy but mutual respect at the same time. Our belief in our friends, our colleagues and ultimately the owners have kept us in line with meeting our objectives and without their support, this would have not been possible in anyway shape or form.

Our path has always been one of good faith for the community and has never strayed away from this. Though we've had our conflicts in the past, our gratefulness has always remained elevated in all senses and practised through what we've come to do. I wish that we will be remembered as those who stood for the Argonath banner but also for those that had no meaningful voice of their own to convey.  We will always be loyal to this community and it will never be a case of leaving for another as has been speculated.  We now look to the future generation of Argonath to give the community the inspiration, drive and sense of purpose that we've aimed to embed through others during our time as INFERNO 9.

Thank you to all those who served as INFERNO 9 and supported us and remember, there is more to life than a video game:

[i9]Tompa Carloz (Rodney King) - A friend, brother and partner in crime. Best wishes for wherever you are now and for the baby girl on the way.
[i9]Jethro Smith - A rubber lipped rasta king who made me fall in love with Reggae. Thanks for all your support and you know where to find me.
[i9]Luca Russo - Joey recruited Luca from new and honed him into one of the best I've seen. All the best in the SAPD.
[i9]Joey DeRossi - Thanks for founding INFERNO 9 Joey, it became really special especially with your outspoken personality.
[i9]Justin Djay - Thanks for all the fun Justin and best of luck in the army. Keep safe and be sure to keep your helmet on!
[i9]Cyril Olaso - Though you've moved to the SAPD, I know your heart belongs to the cheap side. Best of luck in SRU.
[i9]Eric Wright - I don't know if your still around but you used to be my idol when starting INFERNO 9. Thanks for everything.
[i9]Jason Tyler - Our paths may have changed yet they remain the same in a sense that our friendship prevails.
[i9]Benson Omar - The ganja smoking balla from Holland - thanks for all the sweet memories, will be sure to keep in touch.
[i9]Sisko White - Ladyboy, thanks for all your support over the past year - we haven't been the same without your lady touch.
[i9]Raynan Vega - Long time gone, but not forgotten - thanks for your insight into Phillipines culture.
[i9]Chaska Aregas - Nei ho ma, our Hong Kong homie has shared his stance in life with us and that I will never forget.
[i9]Kunal Aregas - Kunal, you've always impressed me since being a new player and I'm sure you'll go on to impress others in Argonath.
[i9]Lance Downson - Though on a low nowadays, thanks for your support throughout Lance.
[i9]Rusty Culver - The big man from Scotland, I will never forget our laughing TS times.
[i9]Collin Hawk - Sinamun, thanks for all your help since RI and in i9 - really enjoyed your company.
[i9]Trane Kiedis - In time, I think you've grown to understand what is really important in life. Stay true.
[i9]Jay Kingston - Thanks for all the memories you've left behind Alice.
[i9]Haythem Smith - Tunisia, continue to represent homie and stay true until the end of time.
[i9]Kevin McCollins - Our only i9 member banned for a offense commited while outside i9! Best of luck.
[i9]Curtis Emmet - The Sweden viking who has since moved on - thanks for everything.
[i9]Earl Montegomery (iMunna) - Though you turned to the dark side, thanks for all the positives you left behind.
[i9]Sam Smith - Thanks for your efforts during your short time in INFERNO 9 Sam.
[i9]Alonso Slice - Alonso, thanks for instilling your learnings from Corleone into INFERNO 9, keep eating Ben & Jerrys!
[i9]Jimmy_Cueno - Homie, I'll pour out a lil liquor for you tonight. We'll be sure to keep in touch whatever the weather.

[i9]Lustigkurre - We'll be seeing eachother around but thanks for keeping INFERNO 9 intact throughout.
[i9]HubbeStubbe - Same applies to you Hubbe, best of luck with the new farmer life!
[i9]Truth - We'll be sure to see you around.
[i9]Jubin - I'm sure you learn't a lot from your time in INFERNO 9 Jubin, best of luck.
TeaM - Thanks for your support Boromir, JayL and other TeaM comrades. You remain our inspiration!
WS - Very much like TeaM, thanks for all your efforts in providing advice. Best of luck!
SAPD, FBI & CJ: Thanks for letting us become an invaluable source of income but also giving us a opportunity to train eachother.
Owners and Grove Street - Thanks for being patient with us and giving us a platform to express ourselves on by shooting eachother.

On a personal note, I'd also like to extend my gratitude to everybody who made INFERNO 9 possible but especially those who served in our group during two illustrious years. Though we begin taking different paths from this moment onwards, I hope you have learnt as much from me as I have from you all. I will forever cherish our friendship and hope that we stay in touch in whatever way deemed possible. My door is always open to you should you need any advice whether professionally or if you just want to know how to kill CJ's mom.  :D

Best wishes,

Frank

It would take me more than 5 pages to write down all my feelings and memories for this group and it's members but I ensure you that they are the best ones, so I will keep it simple and gist:
Thanks for everything, stay true ballas.

And I thought this was a joke first, and I am refering to the stunt we pulled the before 1st April this year, good memories. As Trane said, it would take me some pages to write down my feelings and memories with Inferno 9 and the National Balla Association.

You guys thaught me well and I thank you all for the oppertunity by letting me into the group. First it was a big no but Frank changed his mine and let me in, and that I am gratefull for. It went uphill when I joined, but when I joined the admin team it went downhill due that I had to priortise my time there. But thanks anyways, big thanks to Kunal, Frank, Jethro, Sisko, Jimmy, Benson, Lustig, Jubin, Hubbe and the rest.

Trip down memory lane!

Jason Aldean - Tattoos On This Town

There's still black marks on that county road
Where we drag raced our pickups, and mustangs
And weathered all the sun and rain
And to this day up on that overpass
Even underneath the new paint, you can still see
Ali will you marry me
Take a ride, look around, and there ain't no doubt

*chorus*
It sure left its mark on us
We sure left our mark on it
We let the world know we were here
With everything we did
We laid a lot of memories down
Like tattoos on this town

There's still a rope burn on that oak branch
That hangs over the river, I still got the scar
From swingin' our a little too far
There ain't a corner of this hallowed ground
That we ain't laughted or cried on
It's where we loved, lived and learned real stuff
It's everything we're made of

*chorus*

Everywhere there we are
It hits me right, in my heart

*chorus*

And we'll always be hanging around
Like tattoos on this town
Like tattoos on this town

INFERNO 9 left multiple ''tattoos'' on this town.
