The Caudices are a team mainly comprised of real-life friends egnaroky, AntHand, PixelClick and Fartherlos. Established in March 2019, the team has played a role in several projects and bases throughout its existence.

The Caudices

Shortly after joining the server, AntHand and egnaroky realized that, while they were IRL friends, publicly declaring a team between them would, in theory, increase political clout. They decided on the Latin name "Caudices", the plural of Caudex for "Blockhead" or "idiot". With hindsight, they both now realize that as two noobs with less than 10 hours of playtime they never could have achieved any clout with just a team. Regardless, the team created an official banner, which was gathered into ostrich1414's collection.

Activity

Egnaroky and AntHand still regularly play on the server, with IRL friends PixelClick and Farthelos joining the team in May 2019. As such the team isn't "dead", but it is almost never referred to in chat or IRL conversation between them.

Caudician Civil War

On the night of January 24, as a reaction to annoyance from both sides, egnaroky and AntHand engaged in several guerrilla pvp battles. While the occasional duel is normal for the team, fighting broke out consistently throughout the evening and resulted in lost pieces of god gear, destroyed map arts, egnaroky being sent to spawn, and a halt to planned productivity. The conflict reached its peak when AntHand, after being crystalled by egnaroky and losing several pieces of his god set, retaliated by bombing egnaroky off guard inside the Mil Community Center. Egnaroky was successfully killed, but was completely silent. 5 minutes later, egnaroky was seen placing tnt inside the partially-destroyed community center. AntHand destroyed most of the tnt, but several chests were destroyed and clipchip's anime girl map art was lost. Egnaroky was forced into a hole and killed for this action, and he was sent to spawn for the second time that day.

As of January 25, tensions seem to be cooling down and all of the damage from the bombings has been repaired. Egnaroky will likely rejoin the base, but this was a scarring event for the team.
