The Bloc for Clans (Formerly 'Bloc for Smaller Clans') was a multi-clan organisation founded by Burger_Malone, meant to be a general association of smaller-sized bases and clans which share similar interests. It aimed to settle arguments between member groups peacefully, while members will agree not to grief or raid each other.
Over it's lifespan, the BC was the most successful clan union of it's time. It had tight rules and regulations that grew every time it faced another controversy, which ultimately caused its downfall as most of its members were either power hungry or powerless.
History
Created as the 'Bloc for Smaller Clans' in September 2019 by player Out_Here_Sneezing (later Burger_Malone), the Church of Francis joined immediately and Anthand and egnaroky under Caudices would follow suit shortly after. The first period of the BSC wouldn't be all that interesting as the Church of Francis was fighting the brutal Holy War against the Order of Wilbur which caused Caudices to fight their fellow BSC member out of allaigance to their Wilburian base mates at Yittrium.
When the Holy War ended however, plans to take the Bloc for Clans would be agreed on by all member factions. This period of peace would only last a couple of weeks as a new threat was perceived to be resurrecting, the MCMAFIA.
The Intervention War
Lord1 had been contacted by Fuhrer of MCMAFIA - JavelinFury whilst ingame, asking if the Church of Francis would support MCMAFIA in a scenario of a all out server war. Lord pretended he'd consider the offer, but instead secretly contacted other BC members and discussed a pre-emptive war declaration against the MCMAFIA.
This was agreed after a vote in the BC senate and war was declared. BC leaders would assume this war would be similar to the Holy War; annexations, large battles and diplomatic meetings. However it would devolve into terrorist acts, ambushes, guerrilla warfare and many, many small scaled skirmishes.
The Sigil Conflict
One of the biggest BC controversies would occur in January of 2020 when COF forces lead by Lord1 would occupy the base Sigil after the Francis Chapel was vandalized. The conflict between COF troops and Sigil residents would get out of hand when Wilburian players turned up to counter the COF occupiers. The battle of sigil slowly came to a end and COF and OOW leaders declared a ceasefire as to prevent another Holy War.
However the BC members in Sigil were outraged at Lord1 for his actions and brought him to trial on the BC discord (later coined the Discordberg Trials) and successfully expelled Lord from the clan union.
In retaliation, Lord attacked some bases affiliated with BC members. Despite this, tensions would cool and Lord would be voted back in to the BC.
Beginning of the End
On the 24th of February, the Bloc voted to leave the Intervention War and declare it a stalemate as no progress was being made by either side. This was also important as the Church of Francis and Caudices were about to wage war on Byzantium. After the end of The Byzantium War and the peace conference, The Commonwealth joined the Bloc.
One might assume after months of non-stop war, the tired BC member factions would want to preserve a period of peace. Caudices had other plans and annexed both Wilburia and Takyon. They were shortly after expelled from the BC, but now it had only half of the power it did. The Church of Francis realised this and left too. The BC just lost 2 of it's most influential teams, it was a shell of its former self.
After a few weeks of inactivity, Lord1 was plotted to overthrow the BC and re-establish it with more power and a better organised military, hopefully bringing it out of inactivity. Cheesy_Chips22 helped Lord1 with this and after Lord got discord ownership on the BC discord, the coup succeeded and the BC was later re-established the 'Galactic Federation'. But this was futile, most members were inactive or disinterested, so instead of kicking a dead horse, the Church of Francis stole structure of the BC senate and as many members as possible and claimed to have absorbed the Galactic Federation for good.
Reformed Bloc for Clans
Months after it's dissolution, Anthand planned the Reformation of the Bloc for Clans. The RBC would try to be everything the BC dreamed to be and without all the controversies and conflicts. At first it was wildly successful, and members even got together to build the RBC Spawn Base. Ironically the RBC would be scrapped within a month after the Majority of it's members would be split in half with the start of The Imperial War and the cosy RBC spawn base would be targeted by PC forces on the 14th of December.
