Urwins

A battlegroup which was formed in round 5 by Yogibear and Adam. It was named after one of their galaxy members (Urwin) who used to mess up a lot so in honour of his ability to suicide a lot, and the fact most members seemed to by copying him on a regular basis, the battlegroup was named after him. The flagship ViruS galaxy was always in this battlegroup .

The groups most successful rounds were perhaps either round 7 where one galaxy finished third (7:13) and they had two top 10 players in Argon and Glimmer. The other possibility is round 10.5 where the galaxy came first (22:8) and there were four top 10 players in Yogibear, Adam, Dreamy and Kefalos though this bore the least resemblance to any other Urwin galaxy due to most members retiring after round 7 and the victory was considered to be a bit of a letdown due to the ease with which is was achieved.


History

The name Urwins was first introduced in round 5. In galaxy 9:21, there was a guy called Urwin, that was a great inspiration to his fellow galaxy members. His suicide attacks, his oversleeping on launchtimes, and his total ignorance about game stats became quite legendary (inside the galaxy). After a while people started to follow his strategy and everytime something like that happened they got called "Urwin" and they started giving out Urwin awards. A little later kombi made an Urwins Inside logo, which was used as galpic, and the people became known as the Urwins.

Urwins has always had his major roots in ViruS with a mix of Fury and Legion. In round 5 this meant they were on the winning side even though all their Urwin activities. Probably the biggest thread in that round did not come from the official enemy, but from cluster neighbour galaxy 9:24, which was filled with Fury and Legion big shots, and did not really liked the fact they were getting their ass kicked by the bunch of idiots in 9:21. The people in 9:21 were (in random order) Adam, Yogibear, kombi, Dniner, Dmike, Graham, Reganio, Zero, Scollk, 'Spider, Urwin, Spoticus, Biggie, Nocnoc, Drax, Mist, Dave, Mephisto, Zelas, Slash, Balameke, Madgamer, Xanthaar, Dreamy, Mr_Nerd, Icy-Cool, Silvier, The_Void.

In Round 6 the core group of people from the origional Urwin gal in round 5 merged with the top players of the sister galaxy "Ain't no Mountain High enough" to form the galaxy 2:21. Being part of the Thieves & Pirates battlegroup they were one of the last galaxies to survive the war to the much bigger powerblock. After that powerblock fell, they quickly fought their way back into the upper regions of the Universe by the attacking top planets - with the entire galaxy. The people in 2:21 were: Adam, Yogibear, kombi, Biggie, Spoticus, Gabber, Glimmer, Riku, Ankka, Bombom, Reese, Carson, Fletcher, York, Lys, Mist, Sera, bugsbunny, badmotor, banshee,ziffynet and cypher79. Final Ranking: 38 [=V=][Fury][VX][WP] URWINS!!! 2:21 553.825.000

Round 7 was one of the most succesful rounds for the Urwins. Being stuck in galaxy 7:13, in a cluster with only one allied galaxy (7:12) proved to be not that bad after all. Being one of the most attacking galaxies in the universe, the entire cluster got roided and so did most of the rest of the universe. The galaxy ended as #3, being knocked from the #1 spot only 30 minutes before the end of the round. There were two top10 planets, and 12 players were in the top250. The people in 7:13 were: Adam, Yogibear, kombi, Biggie, Spoticus, Gabber, Glimmer, Riku, Ankka, Argon, Fletcher, Nanomatrix, Hallava, Ladybug and Fishy. Final Ranking: 3 [=V=] Urwins [VtS] [VX] 7:13 1.516.089.000

After round 7 a lot of core Urwins retired. But in round 10.5 the Urwins returned in a somewhat modified form and ended as #1 galaxy.
