Radical Raiders



The Radical Raiders (RR) is a faction on Simply Vanilla with a tendency to grief bases. Angel_Nina is their leader as of November 9th, 2021.

History
RR was founded by players HydroLegionaire and add_money1 in January, 2021. HydroLegionaire's starter base was turned into the groups' first base called Tempo (temporary base). The group's name was chosen on February 14th, 2021, and was created by combining an adjective and a noun from respective lists proposed by HydroLegionaire and YeetMaster. The banner was made by NotBarryMC and adopted as the offical group banner on February 20th, 2021, well before Barry was invited into the group. The logo was made by brains4211 in March 2021.

Tempo
In February, 2021 HydroLegionaire came into conflict with add_money1 and GoldHawk which led to the forcefully removement of HydroLegionaire from the group on February 28th, 2021. The coords to Tempo were leaked shortly after to Ultio and by extension TMB. After several players warned RR about the incoming grief RR griefed Tempo on March 2nd, 2021.



Maparts
The group has two maparts of their logo and circulates them in the sv community. The first one was made March 26th, 2021, by Kenny and Add as a copy of the group logo with white font (white carpets) on a black background (black carpets). The second mapart features the logo again with blue font (water source blocks) on a black background (obsidian). It was made on August 21th, 2021, by several group members including Kenny, Add, Horta092, YeetMaster, Bloodswamp, and others helping preparing it. Since the second mapart was made at End_Spawn the materials obsidian and water were used to harden it against griefing.

Griefing
Characteristically for an RR grief are large lavacasts with a shrine-like build on top featuring an obsidian block with an end crystal on top, two RR banners next to it and an item frame with an RR mapart in front of the obisidian block. For some griefs the participants also wrote a signed book greeting the base owners.

Trivia
Since most player's didn't recognise the group's acronym RR in the early months of the group a ForestBot command !rr was created by add_money1 using the original lists of adjectives and nouns extended with some other words to mock players that guessed the group's name wrong. Other groups also interpreted the acronym in their own way, e.g. Inferno's MattMX calling the group the Radical Runners after RR ran from a fight with Inferno members after RR attacked Roger_Roger_159 and 746k (a.k.a. Vlad) on May 25th, 2021 while both griefed a base of The Melon Republic. The interpretation of RR as Radical Retards is also very common.
