| Due to vastly differing cultures and opinions on how things should be ran, HERO eventually started to failcascade. A catalyst for this beginning is when an allied titan refused to bridge a Test subcap fleet into system where a Test cap fleet was betrayed and tackled by providence, who batphoned Black Legion(?) to come kill them, denying the subcaps a chance at saving some of the capitals. More drama and differing cultures clashed, as well as Brave not believing in doing any HR work whatsoever (thus letting spies, awoxers etc in) didnt help either. Eve culture at the time was much more toxic, so most everyone hated SOUND who was a very PC friendly alliance. | Due to vastly differing cultures and opinions on how things should be ran, HERO eventually started to failcascade.

| + | Popular Doctrines at the time were Hurricanes, Ishtars, and then Zealots for heavy work. Brave mostly flew moas/eagles (and died quite often) resulting in many members from both Test and Brave getting bored, burning out, and generally not coming to fleets. Cynabals were also imported and flown without SRP as a fun skirmish doctrine, and later phantasms as well after Naliao managed to convince enough people theyd be fun. | ||
| During this time, Sperg squad had undergone something of a resurrection. We were playing L4D2 almost daily. We were filling games. It was fun. We even started doing Eve things. I had brought Agustus and Husker into TEST and we were having fun. Booda returned to the game and wanted to try something new. He managed to harness this energy and formed his own corp. The concept was pretty simple. A small scale corp without the limitations of a massive alliance. With a pretty solid SP baseline and where we wouldn't have to worry about the lowest common denominator. I personally was pretty hyped for exploring some of the more exciting doctrines. Unfortunately at some point this went wrong. Booda wasn't really leading the corp, he was simply in charge. Drama with BRAVE had left a pretty divisive sentiment in TEST and something needed to be done. Faced with corp members leaving and being absent himself, he came to the only conclusion that would involve the corp staying together. Leaving TEST. The obvious destination was Black Legion. Nos and Sperg have always been life partners. | During this time, Sperg squad had undergone something of a resurrection. We were playing L4D2 almost daily. We were filling games. It was fun.

| + | ===== The Return to Faction Warfare ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | November of 2022 Test joined Caldari Faction Warfare - CCP released a decent expansion for once, and revamped the FW system. CCP also sent everyone 7 free days of omega to check everything out, and ran a number of deals to encourage subs. This seems to have worked at least in some part, as numbers are up and the faction warfare areas are very busy. Before joining, the alliance had fallen on incredibly hard times, very low fleet numbers (30 on a **really** good day) and poor morale or motivation to log in. Hoping to repeat the success and rebuilding of joining FW from the last time in 2013, time will tell where Test goes next. | ||

| + | November 2023, Test Began attempting to retake the fabled Testagram (https://forum.pleaseignore.com/topic/111114-the-great-reclamation-the-testagram/) | ||
| + | December 2023, Test retook the Testagram, Keep anchored in 3T7 and Dino's finally found a new(old) home. | ||
