KSF is the abbreviation for Kamikaze Suicidal Fighters, the name of the clan which was active on Earth: 2025 from late 2003 until they merged into IX somewhere in 2007. Around March 2011 a couple old KSF leaders found out that Earth lived once more in the form of Earth Empires and decided that after some years of retirement it was time too give it a go and refounded KSF.

During it's history KSF didn't care much for Netting, the top 10 kills, hits and missiles where the one's that counted. Further they also followed their pacts too the letter. Even if it meant joining wars knowing they surely would perish.

KSF History

by Arrogus

How it all started...

I've been on the BBS scene since 1985, nd have been playing BRE for quite some time. BRE is the previous version of Earth that Mehul had created back then. I knew the game pretty much by eart. Loginius and I were playing it a lot, when Kwyzibo popped by on the BBS and told us about Earth that it had been playing on the net, and that it was the same type of game and was created by the same author.

Loginius started playing Earth in the tournament with Kwyzibo, and after a while, he got to play in the 1A game (Alliance Server now). He then got recruited by the clan Arrow. He was having a blast because he got in and there was a War going on. He just kept on telling Kwyizbo and I about it. Kwyzibo joined Arrow after a couple of weeks. They played the end of that reset, while i started to play in the tournament as well. They kept talking to me about arrow all the time, but i didn't feel i had the time to play since i was pretty much involved with the BBS and all. After talks and talks about arrow, i've decided to finally join with them and see how it was. So after about in December 2002 i joined Arrow.

Loginius was allready a Squad Leader in arrow, and i came along not knowing too much about clans and Arrow. Loginius told me that i'd probably end up in the Killing Squad since he knew how i was playing in BRE and all. After about 1 week out of protection i was asked by the boss of the Killing Squad to join in because of what i was allready doing. So i did, and within a couple of weeks i was one of the best attackers of arrow. Loginius got promoted to Brigade Leader in arrow, and we decided to form a Squad within that brigade of Killers. I became the Squad leader of that Killing Squad called KSF. (which meant Kyu Special Force; Kyu was the short name for Kyu Jutsu Densentsu an old archer warrior from Japan; which was the Brigade's name). Kwyzibo was moved to this squad and we became killers. One the first reset we did so much damaged on Kill targets, it was pretty impressive. It was really fun.

I guess 3 resets later, i had finish best attackers of Earth, i was then a War Officer within Arrow, Loginius was still a Brigade Leader for another Brigade and Kwyzibo had taken my Squad leader's job that i had. We had allready talked about creating our own Clan and starting from scratch to see how things would be, and the challenge of this was really exciting us.

On the last reset we were with arrow, there was a BOT war, that killed arrow completely. The clan was under shock, and wasn't sure how to handle the problem. During that period, because of multiple reasons, we've decided to start the clan KSF.

As stupid as it may sound.. ahum!! We liked KSF and decided to keep the same name. Then we just had to find the acronyms for it.. hehe!! you should usually do the things the other way around.. but this is really how it all happened.. and Kamikaze Suicidal Fighters was born.

Reset #0 (Nov 03 - Dec 03)

So on the 10th of November 2003 we had our web site, the clan was started. We were still in arrow though, and trying to get some sort of an agreement with them about all this. It didn't turned out as we wanted with them, but we left in really good terms with them near the beginning of december.

Our main objectives at that moment was to kill the bots in the game, and make sure the game wouldn't die because of those. Lots has happen during that 1st half of a set. The structure of the site was done, GT was added and it was a lot of fun. Some members were applying to the site, and we had a lot of fun. We had to do everything from the beginning, some FA work, site admin, recruiting and all. We made a lot of friends, and we became really close with a clan called OLD. It's pretty funny that we became friends with OLD, because their Leader Age of Empire, one of the founders of OLD, was on Arrow's Kill list at some point, and we were killing some of their KTs for and with them. We had almost killed him when he contacted us; 3-4 hours after he would have been dead. But this turned out to be a great new beginning for both our clans. They joined our site for a while, and we had around 17 members within the site by the end of the set. We were only 9 members of real KSF though.

Some of the first members that are still here while I'm writing this were Odin, Soka, Tyris, Worfo, Tarra, kkkamil and all our friends from OLD were there.

We had a great reset #0 and it was really fun to see how things had gone in such a fast time. Plus we as a clan made 18 kills during that half of a set :)

Reset #1 (Jan 04 - Mar 04)

Reset #1 started, everyone was pretty anxious to start the reset. We had 2 great squad with the Ballbreakers and the Cleaners well structure and fully operational.

This reset we had to work a lot to do FA work, and Loginius did a great work at it so get some alliances. We have been Land Grab a lot by a lot of clans. It has been really difficult at the beginning of the reset, and lots of players have switch their production to be able to take those retals. We have gained respect slowly from other clan, and have a lot more friendly relation with other clans now.

Our friends from OLD left our site at the beginning of this set, to be on their own site, even though they would still pop up occasionally.

We reached 15 members of KSF at the beginning of the set. The newest addition to members were Aboo, Soul, Nightmare, Bobby, Cthulhu, Krazy.

As we were about 1/3 of the set we started putting in places a lot more structure to the clan and giving more responsibilities to all our players so that everyone could participate in this clan.

Then one of the most important event that happened is that folks from OLD decided to merge with KSF. This was a really great thing for both clans as we got bigger and could then have a lot more people with different responsibilities. It wasn't all that simple, but it was done pretty good actually, and after sometime everything was put in place, and I do believe it's all pretty much settled now. We didn't have much of a choice to put in place a much better structure but since we were just about done in the previous restructuration things went pretty well with the new one.

Some sort of World war was about to break in the middle of the set, and we felt like we had to participate in this to make our name. We did try to run a first War chat and it was pretty chaotic, and therefore decided we weren't that ready for a war just yet. We needed to adjust a little.

Our restructuration created more squads with more specific tasks like the Busters and the Mongers and the KIA as well. We got pretty much where we wanted to be, while the Cleaners and Breakers would continue to kill those players.

We got so many pacts during this set, it was really good, but we were still being attacked a lot by some clan. A couple of Yellow and Red alerts were given, but every time we backed out of it, until one day we just had enough and we decided to hit Paradigm and TIE 2 days in a row on the players that had hit us way too much. We did some marvelous kill runs on them, and it was really great to see. We were all expecting to die, but i guess things just turned out really good.

As the set was about to end, we continued our FA work, and we have had a lot of great pacts for the end of the next set, and it's great. We have had support from a lot of other clans in different matters. We have had 4 different people ending in the top 10 of Earth (see HOF for more details).

We are all anxious to start this new reset now...

Because we've had so many great users at the same time, I've decided not to talk about all the new members anymore in the history per say. But a link will be added to see all the promotions that have happened in the history of KSF.

At the beginning of the reset, We had some downs about starting the new clans (not that much though but still some sometimes), but i can assure you that the end of this reset was really great and we will keep this clan for sure for a long period of time...

Reset #2 (Apr 04 - May 04)

It was the best reset we've added so far as far as I'm concerned. So much great stuff happened during that set.

First surprising enough but at some point in this set, we had people in all of the top 10's of earth, including the top NW, which I didn't expect that we would have in a long time, but we did. There was about 6 or 7 people battling in the top 10 misslers and attackers. Really nice.

We weren't beiing farmed much due to all the pacts we had, and also because we were talking ALL of retals that was available. We almost had some internal issues with who would take the retals first since they was so few, and that all our busters wanted to take the land. Another thing we would not have even thought of when we started that set.

There was plenty of talks about merger and stuff during that set, but like i've always told everyone talking to me about merger. The Name KSF and the Tag will remain, from that, if you still want to talk, let's talk. We had like over 4-5 clans wanting to merge, but nothing serious happened except for Harsh who merged with us, and it was a great add-on for KSF.

Everything was running really smootlhy, when all of a sudden, Arrow one of our DP pact asked for our help. First it was also a surprised to be called to help them, cuz we did signed those pacts for the other way around ;) but anyways. In the mind of the Upper levels of KSF, a DP is a DP , and when a DP asked for help you join the battle no matter what if you don't have any relation with the victim in question. If was done really fast, and without very few preparation because it was getting critical for them.

So our first ever FS was done on Steel. It started real slow, but after a little while, we were rocking!!! Our name was all over the news. People didn't actually believe we'd do such a great FS on Steel. But we did. Our attacks/members, number of total attacks, and number of kills was pretty impressive to a lot of clans.

So make a short story, Steel had to call in LaF on us, because they couldn't take care of us directly, since they had their hands full. We never hit LaF back since there was no point, and that we knew LaF wouldn't hit anyone else than us, and we had the mandate of continue hitting Steel. So we did. At some point, we could only take the restarts, but no Steel guys was able to restart we were killing them all.

We were asked after 1 full week of battle to back out because of Steel wanting to back out, LaF had to be the first one to back out, they did, we did, and so forth.

Then RD starting hitting us because we had attacked Steel. We had to give in on this one, since it's pretty impossible to hit RD back. But we had the help from Arrow a lot on this one.

The end of the reset was pretty much quiet for most, and all are anxious to start the next set.

Unfortunately during this set, we lost a couple of really good members that went to some other clan like TIE. Hopefully just for a short period of time. But we will see.

Meanwhile some Clans are mad at us, and that's when you know you are getting established in this crazy world of Earth out there. If you have alliances like IX and Steel that are pretty mad at you, you know you've reached something. On the hand we have alliances that we could never talked too, and that are giving us a lot for this upcoming set.

Oh yeah, with this short set, we have passed the mark of 100 kills in a set, which is really great.

I think this resumes pretty much this set.

Reset #3 (Jun 04 - Jul 04)

This reset #3 was one of the worst reset KSF has had i would say. First it looked a lot more like it was as reset #1 because we got farmed a lot during the reset. As mentioned above some folks left us to go in TIE like Leonidas and Amsterdam. We were smaller in size, in NW, and other clan abused us a lot. Until we decided that enough was enough and then we started killing all the multi tappers again. Again like we did in reset #1.

Also because it was a summer reset mostly, well the activities on the board was pretty slow, and a lot of people were absent because of the weather and vacations.

To top things off, one of our allies Vienna asked us to defend them with an FS they received from Ragnarok. So although not prepared really for it, Vienna told us they were all ready and would really break them good for us to finish them off. Well after 30 minutes in a warchat, we figured they weren't ready at all. That we had to break the targets mostly, and that this was really going no where. After long time thinking, and talking with Spitz, and Kwy, we decided to talk with Rag, and to back out of this war because Vienna had just back stabbed us. So we did. Of course starting from that moment, and until we have another War, people will always remember KSF as being the Clan who did an FS on Rag with no kill and not much attacks (even though we had done an excellent job on Steel the set before). So we will live with this for now, until we shall strike again..

So really to resume this reset #3, it took me sometime, nothing major happened, nothing all that great has happen either. It was a boring set for a lot of people. But still the people that were alive and kicking in the boards had some fun of course, and that's what matters.

The next set should be interesting, we will try a different approach to avoid being farmed and we will see what happens. An all KSF meeting was held a few days before the reset to talk about it.

Reset #4 (Aug 04 - Sep 04)

End of Arrogus' KSF history
