Team Lead The Way

Team Lead The Way was, at one point, the largest team on the server, with 12 members, including Arrcy and lukflug. It was created on July 13th, 2019 by lukflug, HydroTwin, and PGamer. They were the first team to find the seed. The leaders were lukflug, Arrcy and Lizard Nettle.

Because LTW has been inactive since late 2019, LTW is technically dead and is no longer considered an "active" group.

History
On July 13th 2019, lukflug, HydroTwin and PGamer joined 9b6t for the first time. lukflug created a temp base near spawn the same day. lukflug and HydroTwin decided to team up and HydroTwin went to lukflug's temp base. Later that day, they also decided to team up with PGamer. The short-term goal of the team was to gather resources, extend the +Z nether highway and build a permanent base far away from spawn.

The next day, they built a new temp base that was further away from spawn. This base was however quickly found, but not griefed. Many people that found the base joined LTW. An alliance was made with Faraday1056 and Desert_Bunny. This would however not last long, due to the infighting between Faraday1056 and Desert_Bunny and due to their inactivity. A more established player, Arrcy, also joined during this time.

By late July, LTW recieved a massive boost, due to some of its members finding the seed. This lead to members being able to farm a massive amount of totems, shulkers and elytras. lukflug and Arrcy raided all remaining mansions below in a 25k radius around spawn in late July. The team moved to another temp base that was even further away from spawn. There lukflug created a villager farm. However, shortly after the player Skeppy_Avocado was recruited, he griefed the base. This meant that LTW no longer had any group base.

Certain members of LTW were allowed to stay at a base built by Arrcy and Lizard Nettle, this also lead to Lizard Nettle joining the team. Eventually Arrcy and Lizard Nettle gradually replaced HydroTwin and PGamer as the team leaders, due to their inactivity. Plans were created in early August to create a permanent group base near 2mil 2mil, with the location selected by realkarmakun. lukflug also planned to create a personal base at 1mil 1mil, but he changed his plans and the 1mil 1mil base became a base shared with the other leaders, Arrcy and Lizard Nettle, due to worries that their base might be compromised by a traitor or insider.

Over the course of August, the group became more chaotic and decentralized, as members were creating their own bases, due to the lack of a proper group base. They were also falling behind Stormfront, due to Stormfront building and grinding at huge farms. LTW was able to catch up somewhat in early September, when lukflug was able to farm mending books from villagers.

LTW-Stormfront War
On September 21st, the Arrcy/Lizard Nettle base was griefed by Stormfront. This started the LTW War. The leadership didn't trust most members at this point, since it was unknown how Stormfront obtained the coordinates and the fear was that there was an insider. For instance, Kabmi was in both LTW and Stormfront, however there is no evidence he ever leaked anything to Stormfront. During the war, the LTW leadership was affraid to build any new bases or to create the permanent base at 2mil 2mil, due to fears there was an unknown insider or exploit.

This changed however, when lukflug joined The Llama Alliance and Exitium Maximus was first conceived by HautDaneben and XXWW. lukflug helped by supplying mending books and building a gold farm (that was never finished). Exitium Maximus was however cancelled after its foward operation base, Water Village, was griefed by Stormfront. Water Village could be quickly replaced, but there were fears that a new base would just get griefed again. The next day, the Llama Alliance's main base, Llama Outpost 2, was griefed by Stormfront, leading it to be disbanded. It was later revealed that the insider was JeremyDE from the Llama Alliance. A week later, lukflug quit the server. Due to him being a leader and one of the most active members, many Stormfront members considered LTW dead at this point.

Post-War Downfall
VulpineYakJava replaced lukflug as leader. The leader base continued to be maintained by Lizard Nettle, after lukflug quit and Arrcy became inactive. Lizard Nettle eventually became inactive in late November and the base was probably griefed by Go_Hoosiers at some point. After the war, VulpineYakJava was the most active leader, but focused more on Team Pyrad. Over the course of late October and November, activity declined. By the end of December, LTW was effectively dead.
