&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{stratnav}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{Stub}}&lt;br /&gt;
=Introduction=&lt;br /&gt;
You make most of your [[land]] [[Research Labs]] and research a ton of [[tech]]. To make money you sell tech at the end of your turns on the public market. You use this money to buy your military. Almost any [[government]] can be an effective techer except commie and fascist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Theocracy=&lt;br /&gt;
This is a great netting strategy. A Theocracy government has an increased buildings per turn and lower military cost. The increased buildings per turn means that you will have to spend less time building construction site and have less of your land filled by them. This is a great reselling strategy because its private market prices are much lower than any other strat, so you can make money off military as well as tech. A Theocracy Techer MUST only 1/3 feed, middle feed, or topfeed. In order to get your source of income, you must use turns to tech. So the fewer turns you have to spend landgrabbing the more time you can spend teching, or making you money. You must be a good landgrabber to be a theocracy techer. The disadvantage of a Theocracy is that it has a lower maximum tech than the other governments. This means that when you have the maximum technology in any category it will be less effective than another governments technology at their maximum technology. This is why it is horrible at war.&lt;br /&gt;
=Tyranny=&lt;br /&gt;
The best warring strategy. This is a little easier to run than Theocracy Techer. A tyranny government only uses 1 turn to attack and has greater land gains from each attack than other governments. The benefit of a tyranny is that it spends fewer turns generating attacks and more turns regaining readiness.  This is ideal for a techer strategy because a tyranny techer can achieve maximum hits while teching four out of every seven turns].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A tyranny techer still needs their turns to tech. You have three options with a tyranny. You can topfeed, because your increase attack gains will get you more land than any other government topfeeding, you can middle feed, if you middle feed like a theocracy should this means that you can get almost twice as much land in the same amount of turns as a Theocracy, or you can 1/3 feed more than with other techers since you can afford to do more attacks per day than other governments. The disadvantage of a tyranny is a lower per capita income. This really doesn't affect a techer so I don't count it is a disadvantage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Democracy=&lt;br /&gt;
It can be better than either of the other two while netting and if you resell it can beat the other two governments. This can be a moderate to hard strat, depends on how you play it. A democracy's advantage is that it has 0% market commissions. If you use this to your advantage fully you can make this an awesome strat. We will go over the basics first. The 0% market commissions mean that you don't pay &amp;quot;tax&amp;quot; on the tech you sell or the military you buy. This saves you money. Simply playing it like a regular techer makes this an ok strat. There is an added bonus though. The 0% market commissions mean you can resell off the public market. If bushels are selling for about $40 a bushel and you see 100,000 bushels come on the market at $30 you can buy them, no tax, and sell them for $40, no tax, which means you just made $10 per bushel, or $1 mill total. Just finding deals like this, on food, oil, military, or tech, you can make a lot of money. Democracies can also participate in buyouts. This can make you a TON of money. Reselling makes this strat a little harder to run but if you are willing to learn, you can finish extremely high in networth. The disadvantage of a democracy is that it takes 3 turns to attack. This means that you must gain more land per attack than either a Theocracy or a Tyranny in order to tech the same amount of turns as they do per day. This means that you will either have to be a good middle feeder or you can topfeed. Either way you need to be good at finding land grab targets to play this strat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Republic=&lt;br /&gt;
Great for netting and keeping to yourself. The 20% explore rate republics get sets up the player for a great all explore strategy and the bonus %20 maximum pci increases a country's income per turn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Dictatorship=&lt;br /&gt;
Pretty much played like a tyranny techer, but instead of switching to a tyranny you go dictator. This strategy would be a beast in a long term war. Its 130% breaking power, 125% spy power, and 2 turned attack makes it an awesome breaker. The only problem is that with no production while attacking, the dictator techer's income would drop very quickly during war, and it is the easiest strategy to cripple through building destruction methods, as far fewer buildings will need to be destroyed to completely eliminate its economy.  Techers and MBRs are the strategies most reliant upon remaining fully built to have production.  Farmers, Indies, Oilers, and to a lesser extent, Cashers, all have far superior production when a significant portion of their land is unbuilt.  A dictator techer would use a different government type to reach their target landsize and get fully built before switching over to the dictatorship government, in order to partly nullify their building speed penalty.  The loss of buildings during war after switching to dictatorship would then be magnified by this penalty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Communist=&lt;br /&gt;
Communist gives you a 20% Technology effectiveness bonus, and a 35% increase in capacity for selling to market.  This means that you can sell a larger portion of your tech at the end of each day.  The extra commission you pay is very partly offset by this fact.  The downfall to this strategy is that the actual amount of technology produced by communists is no greater than any other strategy (the tech effectiveness bonus means that 10 points for a communist is equivalent to 12 points for anyone else, but has zero effect on a communist's ability to produce technology), and their benefit of larger market shipments becomes negated after a few days of researching due to their much smaller amount of technology kept on their country unsold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The increased market shipment size, in fact, completely negates their technology effectiveness bonus, as it decreases the amount of technology they keep on hand, thus decreasing the amount of technology affected by their technology effectiveness bonus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Communist Techer is a strategy only played by those who do not understand the game mechanics.  For an effective techer that will not make you look like a noob, try Theocracy, Tyranny, Republic, or Democracy.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Numbers on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. Many records from this period have been lost over time, or have not been compiled and examined. There is very little information available on a reset-by-reset basis of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] and [[Rage]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum and Rage agreed to a friendly war after iMagNum finishes TIE, but Rage couldnt wait and declared on iMag on Thursday March 11th 2010. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2905&amp;amp;time=1268437768691].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]], [[Rage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Elysium]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rogue has also called in their ally, Elysium into the fight. Ely declared war on iMag at the same time as Rogue, clearly stating they were called in. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3015&amp;amp;time=1268693541172]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Third Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Fist of Odin]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN declared war on iMagNum enforcing it's retaliation policies [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=1658&amp;amp;p=1274983149&amp;amp;z=lcn-declares-war].&lt;br /&gt;

=== Fourth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Fourth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fifth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Fifth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances. However, before their FS was done with a CF was declared due to [[Collaboration]] being asked to stop...&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers and [[Paradigm]] vs [[Collaboration]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...A few days later, [[iMag]] returned the favour to [[Collab]], bringing in [[PDM]], whom had their own reasons to fight [[Collab]], into the war to make it less one sided. The FS was also aided by [[SoF]], who were already in war with [[Collab]] using their restarts as finishers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Netters Anonymous]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Alliance Server Round 9}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Sons of Liberty]] vs Imaginary Numbers, [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
On April 27, 2011 [[Sons of Liberty]] FS'd [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]], blindsiding both clans. [[Makinso]] finally shows up later with a late wardec [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=9170&amp;amp;p=1304273405&amp;amp;z=dear-lcn] confirming their war. &lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours later, iMagNum comes into to assist ICN/LCN. Imaginary Numbers means the defenders would have a solid member advantage, but would still be soundly defeated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tenth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Alliance Server Round 10}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Sanctuary]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag was in for a friendly with [[Sanctuary]] and were given the fs because of their numerical disadvantage. They also got to pick the time and date. Apparently, [[Sanctuary]] disapproved of imags choice of date, as days passed by.&lt;br /&gt;
[http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=11022&amp;amp;p=1311011886&amp;amp;z=imaginary-numbers]&lt;br /&gt;
Luckily, it was well worth it once it came. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Later after a cf was signed, an Imag full of restarts declared on [[KSF]]{{Citation needed}}, who had only half their members, but 4.5 times their total nw. Imag successfully killed of countries worth more than their entire tag during the first day. Sadly few KSF members decided it was any use fighting back, as it could have been a nice assymetrical war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Eleventh Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Alliance Server Round 11}}	&lt;br /&gt;
The set brought imags first change of presidency on the EE server. [[Soviet]] stepped down, and [[Bujke]] were then demoted to serve the alliance and lead it to another golden age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== The [[La Famiglia]] vs [[Evolution]] war =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag participated in what likely was the largest war in EE on the alliance server so far. Being allied with [[Evolution]], they were called in together with [[Sons of Liberty]] when [[La Famiglia]] declared war on them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war quickly grew as both sides called in reiforcements. Imag soon found itself facing both [[Moral Decay]] and [[The Omega]] alone, after they were called into the war specificly on Imag. Imag however, not wanting to bother allies for a war which wasn't their own, did not call in any other allies. There was also hope that the other alliances on their side would join in on their theatre of the war. This hope was however diminshed as their side found themselves beeing the underdogs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Twelth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Rival]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag declared war on Rival since [[Rival]] refused to pact, which aroused suspiscion that they were setting up to war imag. War was declared on the 21'st of december, to try and get some kills before members went inactive for the holidays. With only 10 showing up for the fs, or during the hours shortly there after imag was in for a bad start. The kill run of the war produced only a single kill, and a reactive rival ended up leading in kills even during the first day. Shortly there after imag regained the lead as other members churned out their turns hitting rival, but with a slight member disadvantage and generally bad activity imag soon found itself in for a month of being farmed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any {{w|swirve.com|Swirve}} services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Numbers on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. Many records from this period have been lost over time, or have not been compiled and examined. There is very little information available on a reset-by-reset basis of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] and [[Rage]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum and Rage agreed to a friendly war after iMagNum finishes TIE, but Rage couldnt wait and declared on iMag on Thursday March 11th 2010. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2905&amp;amp;time=1268437768691].&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]], [[Rage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Elysium]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;

Rogue has also called in their ally, Elysium into the fight. Ely declared war on iMag at the same time as Rogue, clearly stating they were called in. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3015&amp;amp;time=1268693541172]&lt;br /&gt;

iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Fist of Odin]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Fourth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;

Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances. However, before their FS was done with a CF was declared due to [[Collaboration]] being asked to stop...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
...A few days later, [[iMag]] returned the favour to [[Collab]], bringing in [[PDM]], whom had their own reasons to fight [[Collab]], into the war to make it less one sided. The FS was also aided by [[SoF]], who were already in war with [[Collab]] using their restarts as finishers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Sons of Liberty]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed SoL week 2 as revenge for the set before with 35ish vs 70ish countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Netters Anonymous]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there was war!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[Sons of Liberty]] comes into defense of [[Netters Anonymous]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Netters Anonymous]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
With Imaginary Numbers close to tag killed, [[Sons of Liberty]] leaves the war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ninth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Alliance Server Round 9}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Sons of Liberty]] vs Imaginary Numbers, [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
On April 27, 2011 [[Sons of Liberty]] FS'd [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]], blindsiding both clans. [[Makinso]] finally shows up later with a late wardec [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=9170&amp;amp;p=1304273405&amp;amp;z=dear-lcn] confirming their war. &lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours later, iMagNum comes into to assist ICN/LCN. Imaginary Numbers means the defenders would have a solid member advantage, but would still be soundly defeated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tenth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Alliance Server Round 10}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Sanctuary]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag was in for a friendly with [[Sanctuary]] and were given the fs because of their numerical disadvantage. They also got to pick the time and date. Apparently, [[Sanctuary]] disapproved of imags choice of date, as days passed by.&lt;br /&gt;
[http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=11022&amp;amp;p=1311011886&amp;amp;z=imaginary-numbers]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Later after a cf was signed, an Imag full of restarts declared on [[KSF]]{{Citation needed}}, who had only half their members, but 4.5 times their total nw. Imag successfully killed of countries worth more than their entire tag during the first day. Sadly few KSF members decided it was any use fighting back, as it could have been a nice assymetrical war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Eleventh Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Alliance Server Round 11}}	&lt;br /&gt;
The set brought imags first change of presidency on the EE server. [[Soviet]] stepped down, and [[Bujke]] were then demoted to serve the alliance and lead it to another golden age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== The [[La Famiglia]] vs [[Evolution]] war =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag participated in what likely was the largest war in EE on the alliance server so far. Being allied with [[Evolution]], they were called in together with [[Sons of Liberty]] when [[La Famiglia]] declared war on them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war quickly grew as both sides called in reiforcements. Imag soon found itself facing both [[Moral Decay]] and [[The Omega]] alone, after they were called into the war specificly on Imag. Imag however, not wanting to bother allies for a war which wasn't their own, did not call in any other allies. There was also hope that the other alliances on their side would join in on their theatre of the war. This hope was however diminshed as their side found themselves beeing the underdogs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Twelth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Rival]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag declared war on Rival since [[Rival]] refused to pact, which aroused suspiscion that they were setting up to war imag. War was declared on the 21'st of december, to try and get some kills before members went inactive for the holidays. With only 10 showing up for the fs, or during the hours shortly there after imag was in for a bad start. The kill run of the war produced only a single kill, and a reactive rival ended up leading in kills even during the first day. Shortly there after imag regained the lead as other members churned out their turns hitting rival, but with a slight member disadvantage and generally bad activity imag soon found itself in for a month of being farmed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any {{w|swirve.com|Swirve}} services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Numbers on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. Many records from this period have been lost over time, or have not been compiled and examined. There is very little information available on a reset-by-reset basis of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] and [[Rage]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum and Rage agreed to a friendly war after iMagNum finishes TIE, but Rage couldnt wait and declared on iMag on Thursday March 11th 2010. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2905&amp;amp;time=1268437768691].&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]], [[Rage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Elysium]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;

Rogue has also called in their ally, Elysium into the fight. Ely declared war on iMag at the same time as Rogue, clearly stating they were called in. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3015&amp;amp;time=1268693541172]&lt;br /&gt;

iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Fist of Odin]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN declared war on iMagNum enforcing it's retaliation policies [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=1658&amp;amp;p=1274983149&amp;amp;z=lcn-declares-war].&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Fourth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Fifth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances. However, before their FS was done with a CF was declared due to [[Collaboration]] being asked to stop...&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers and [[Paradigm]] vs [[Collaboration]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...A few days later, [[iMag]] returned the favour to [[Collab]], bringing in [[PDM]], whom had their own reasons to fight [[Collab]], into the war to make it less one sided. The FS was also aided by [[SoF]], who were already in war with [[Collab]] using their restarts as finishers.&lt;br /&gt;

iMagNum FSed SoL week 2 as revenge for the set before with 35ish vs 70ish countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Netters Anonymous]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there was war!&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Alliance Server Round 9}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Sons of Liberty]] vs Imaginary Numbers, [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
On April 27, 2011 [[Sons of Liberty]] FS'd [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]], blindsiding both clans. [[Makinso]] finally shows up later with a late wardec [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=9170&amp;amp;p=1304273405&amp;amp;z=dear-lcn] confirming their war. &lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours later, iMagNum comes into to assist ICN/LCN. Imaginary Numbers means the defenders would have a solid member advantage, but would still be soundly defeated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tenth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Alliance Server Round 10}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Sanctuary]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag was in for a friendly with [[Sanctuary]] and were given the fs because of their numerical disadvantage. They also got to pick the time and date. Apparently, [[Sanctuary]] disapproved of imags choice of date, as days passed by.&lt;br /&gt;
[http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=11022&amp;amp;p=1311011886&amp;amp;z=imaginary-numbers]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Later after a cf was signed, an Imag full of restarts declared on [[KSF]]{{Citation needed}}, having only half their members, but 4.5 times their total nw. Imag successfully killed of countries worth more than their entire tag during the first day. Sadly few KSF members decided it was any use fighting back, as it could have been a nice assymetrical war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Eleventh Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Alliance Server Round 11}}	&lt;br /&gt;
The set brought imags first change of presidency on the EE server. [[Soviet]] stepped down, and [[Bujke]] were then demoted to serve the alliance and lead it to another golden age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== The [[La Famiglia]] vs [[Evolution]] war =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag participated in what likely was the largest war in EE on the alliance server so far. Being allied with [[Evolution]], they were called in together with [[Sons of Liberty]] when [[La Famiglia]] declared war on them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war quickly grew as both sides called in reiforcements. Imag soon found itself facing both [[Moral Decay]] and [[The Omega]] alone, after they were called into the war specificly on Imag. Imag however, not wanting to bother allies for a war which wasn't their own, did not call in any other allies. There was also hope that the other alliances on their side would join in on their theatre of the war. This hope was however diminshed as their side found themselves beeing the underdogs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Twelth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Rival]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag declared war on Rival since [[Rival]] refused to pact, which aroused suspiscion that they were setting up to war imag. War was declared on the 21'st of december, to try and get some kills before members went inactive for the holidays. With only 10 showing up for the fs, or during the hours shortly there after imag was in for a bad start. The kill run of the war produced only a single kill, and a reactive rival ended up leading in kills even during the first day. Shortly there after imag regained the lead as other members churned out their turns hitting rival, but with a slight member disadvantage and generally bad activity imag soon found itself in for a month of being farmed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any {{w|swirve.com|Swirve}} services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Numbers on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. Many records from this period have been lost over time, or have not been compiled and examined. There is very little information available on a reset-by-reset basis of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] and [[Rage]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum and Rage agreed to a friendly war after iMagNum finishes TIE, but Rage couldnt wait and declared on iMag on Thursday March 11th 2010. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2905&amp;amp;time=1268437768691].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]], [[Rage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Elysium]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;

Rogue has also called in their ally, Elysium into the fight. Ely declared war on iMag at the same time as Rogue, clearly stating they were called in. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3015&amp;amp;time=1268693541172]&lt;br /&gt;

iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Fist of Odin]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN declared war on iMagNum enforcing it's retaliation policies [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=1658&amp;amp;p=1274983149&amp;amp;z=lcn-declares-war].&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Fourth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Fifth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[iMag]]'s dec: [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=3720&amp;amp;p=1283823363&amp;amp;z=dear-icn]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances.

&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Netters Anonymous]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there was war!&lt;br /&gt;

On April 27, 2011 [[Sons of Liberty]] FS'd [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]], blindsiding both clans.

===== [[Sanctuary]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag was in for a friendly with [[Sanctuary]] and were given the fs because of their numerical disadvantage. They also got to pick the time and date. Apparently, [[Sanctuary]] disapproved of imags choice of date, as days passed by.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Later after a cf was signed, an Imag full of restarts declared on [[KSF]]{{Citation needed}}, having only half their members, but 4.5 times their total nw. Imag successfully killed of countries worth more than their entire tag during the first day. Sadly few KSF members decided it was any use fighting back, as it could have been a nice assymetrical war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Eleventh Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Alliance Server Round 11}}	&lt;br /&gt;
The set brought imags first change of presidency on the EE server. [[Soviet]] stepped down, and [[Bujke]] were then demoted to serve the alliance and lead it to another golden age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== The [[La Famiglia]] vs [[Evolution]] war =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag participated in what likely was the largest war in EE on the alliance server so far. Being allied with [[Evolution]], they were called in together with [[Sons of Liberty]] when [[La Famiglia]] declared war on them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war quickly grew as both sides called in reiforcements. Imag soon found itself facing both [[Moral Decay]] and [[The Omega]] alone, after they were called into the war specificly on Imag. Imag however, not wanting to bother allies for a war which wasn't their own, did not call in any other allies. There was also hope that the other alliances on their side would join in on their theatre of the war. This hope was however diminshed as their side found themselves beeing the underdogs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Twelth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Rival]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag declared war on Rival since [[Rival]] refused to pact, which aroused suspiscion that they were setting up to war imag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any {{w|swirve.com|Swirve}} services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Beltshumeltz]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Jon316]]&lt;br /&gt;

Elysium is an [[Alliance (in-game)|alliance]] on the [[Free for all server]] of [[Earth Empires]].  They have most recently been a small [[tag]] of 10 members or less.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Elysium was founded some time a very long time ago, by someone being unfamilliar to the person writing this. They probably moved from primary to council with many other alliances at some point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometime 2003-2004 Hardy was an influential person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth Empires Alliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
Elysium started their history in the new adaptation of the game on the alliance server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elysium merged into The Infernal Council of Nations (ICN) in December 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth Empires Free For All ===&lt;br /&gt;
Elysium made their first foray into Free For All in July of 2011.&lt;br /&gt;

Elysium declared war on [[IMP]], stating that they had made the statement that they were playing to kill two people... who happened to play in Elysium. Elysium started out with a 2:1 advantage, but soon found themselves also facing hordes of untaggeds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A while into the war, most remaining [[IMP]] countries went into vacation mode.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Numbers on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. Many records from this period have been lost over time, or have not been compiled and examined. There is very little information available on a reset-by-reset basis of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;

Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Netters Anonymous]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;

The set brought imags first change of presidency on the EE server. [[Soviet]] stepped down, and [[Bujke]] were then demoted to serve the alliance and lead it to another golden age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== The [[La Famiglia]] vs [[Evolution]] war =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag participated in what likely was the largest war in EE on the alliance server so far. Being allied with [[Evolution]], they were called in together with [[Sons of Liberty]] when [[La Famiglia]] declared war on them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war quickly grew as both sides called in reiforcements. Imag soon found itself facing both [[Moral Decay]] and [[The Omega]] alone, after they were called into the war specificly on Imag. Imag however, not wanting to bother allies for a war which wasn't their own, did not call in any other allies. There was also hope that the other alliances on their side would join in on their theatre of the war. This hope was however diminshed as their side found themselves beeing the underdogs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Twelth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Rival]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag declared war on Rival since [[Rival]] refused to pact, which aroused suspiscion that they were setting up to war imag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any {{w|swirve.com|Swirve}} services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Numbers on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. Many records from this period have been lost over time, or have not been compiled and examined. There is very little information available on a reset-by-reset basis of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] and [[Rage]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum and Rage agreed to a friendly war after iMagNum finishes TIE, but Rage couldnt wait and declared on iMag on Thursday March 11th 2010. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2905&amp;amp;time=1268437768691].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]], [[Rage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Elysium]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;

Rogue has also called in their ally, Elysium into the fight. Ely declared war on iMag at the same time as Rogue, clearly stating they were called in. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3015&amp;amp;time=1268693541172]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Fist of Odin]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN declared war on iMagNum enforcing it's retaliation policies [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=1658&amp;amp;p=1274983149&amp;amp;z=lcn-declares-war].&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Fourth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances. However, before their FS was done with a CF was declared due to [[Collaboration]] being asked to stop...&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers and [[Paradigm]] vs [[Collaboration]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...A few days later, [[iMag]] returned the favour to [[Collab]], bringing in [[PDM]], whom had their own reasons to fight [[Collab]], into the war to make it less one sided. The FS was also aided by [[SoF]], who were already in war with [[Collab]] using their restarts as finishers.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Netters Anonymous]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;

The set brought imags first change of presidency on the EE server. [[Soviet]] stepped down, and [[Bujke]] were then demoted to serve the alliance and lead it to another golden age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any [[swirve.com|Swirve]] services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Numbers on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. Many records from this period have been lost over time, or have not been compiled and examined. There is very little information available on a reset-by-reset basis of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] and [[Rage]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum and Rage agreed to a friendly war after iMagNum finishes TIE, but Rage couldnt wait and declared on iMag on Thursday March 11th 2010. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2905&amp;amp;time=1268437768691].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]], [[Rage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Elysium]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rogue has also called in their ally, Elysium into the fight. Ely declared war on iMag at the same time as Rogue, clearly stating they were called in. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3015&amp;amp;time=1268693541172]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN declared war on iMagNum enforcing it's retaliation policies [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=1658&amp;amp;p=1274983149&amp;amp;z=lcn-declares-war].&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Fourth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances. However, before their FS was done with a CF was declared due to [[Collaboration]] being asked to stop...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
...A few days later, [[iMag]] returned the favour to [[Collab]], bringing in [[PDM]], whom had their own reasons to fight [[Collab]], into the war to make it less one sided. The FS was also aided by [[SoF]], who were already in war with [[Collab]] using their restarts as finishers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Netters Anonymous]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Eleventh Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Alliance Server Round 11}}	&lt;br /&gt;
The set brought imags first change of presidency on the EE server. [[Soviet]] stepped down, and [[Bujke]] were then demoted to serve the alliance and lead it to another golden age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any [[swirve.com|Swirve]] services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Numbers on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. Many records from this period have been lost over time, or have not been compiled and examined. There is very little information available on a reset-by-reset basis of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;

Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;

Rogue has also called in their ally, Elysium into the fight. Ely declared war on iMag at the same time as Rogue, clearly stating they were called in. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3015&amp;amp;time=1268693541172]&lt;br /&gt;

iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;

Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances. However, before their FS was done with a CF was declared due to [[Collaboration]] being asked to stop...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
...A few days later, [[iMag]] returned the favour to [[Collab]], bringing in [[PDM]], whom had their own reasons to fight [[Collab]], into the war to make it less one sided. The FS was also aided by [[SoF]], who were already in war with [[Collab]] using their restarts as finishers.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Netters Anonymous]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any [[swirve.com|Swirve]] services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;

== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Numbers on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. Many records from this period have been lost over time, or have not been compiled and examined. There is very little information available on a reset-by-reset basis of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;

Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries.

iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;

On April 27, 2011 [[Sons of Liberty]] FS'd [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]], blindsiding both clans. [[Makinso]] finally shows up later with a late wardec [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=9170&amp;amp;p=1304273405&amp;amp;z=dear-lcn] confirming their war. &lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours later, iMagNum comes into to assist ICN/LCN. Imaginary Numbers means the defenders would have a solid member advantage, but would still be soundly defeated.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any [[swirve.com|Swirve]] services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Numbers on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. Many records from this period have been lost over time, or have not been compiled and examined. There is very little information available on a reset-by-reset basis of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] and [[Rage]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum and Rage agreed to a friendly war after iMagNum finishes TIE, but Rage couldnt wait and declared on iMag on Thursday March 11th 2010. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2905&amp;amp;time=1268437768691].&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]], [[Rage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Elysium]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;

Rogue has also called in their ally, Elysium into the fight. Ely declared war on iMag at the same time as Rogue, clearly stating they were called in. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3015&amp;amp;time=1268693541172]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Fist of Odin]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN declared war on iMagNum enforcing it's retaliation policies [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=1658&amp;amp;p=1274983149&amp;amp;z=lcn-declares-war].&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Fourth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances. However, before their FS was done with a CF was declared due to [[Collaboration]] being asked to stop...&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers and [[Paradigm]] vs [[Collaboration]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...A few days later, [[iMag]] returned the favour to [[Collab]], bringing in [[PDM]], whom had their own reasons to fight [[Collab]], into the war to make it less one sided. The FS was also aided by [[SoF]], who were already in war with [[Collab]] using their restarts as finishers.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Netters Anonymous]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Sons of Liberty]] vs Imaginary Numbers, [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
On April 27, 2011 [[Sons of Liberty]] FS'd [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]], blindsiding both clans. [[Makinso]] finally shows up later with a late wardec [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=9170&amp;amp;p=1304273405&amp;amp;z=dear-lcn] confirming their war. &lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours later, iMagNum comes into to assist ICN/LCN. Imaginary Numbers means the defenders would have a solid member advantage, but would still be soundly defeated.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Sanctuary]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Imag was in for a friendly with [[Sanctuary]] and were given the fs because of their numerical disadvantage. They also got to pick the time and date. Apparently, [[Sanctuary]] disapproved of imags choice of date, as days passed by.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any [[swirve.com|Swirve]] services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Beltshumeltz]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Jon316]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Numbers on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. Many records from this period have been lost over time, or have not been compiled and examined. There is very little information available on a reset-by-reset basis of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Imaginary Numbers way of saying thanks to the creators of Earth Empires. Sadly, Pangs country was not killed in the FS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Second Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Second Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] and [[Rage]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum and Rage agreed to a friendly war after iMagNum finishes TIE, but Rage couldnt wait and declared on iMag on Thursday March 11th 2010. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2905&amp;amp;time=1268437768691].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]], [[Rage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Elysium]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rogue has also called in their ally, Elysium into the fight. Ely declared war on iMag at the same time as Rogue, clearly stating they were called in. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3015&amp;amp;time=1268693541172]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Third Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Fist of Odin]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN declared war on iMagNum enforcing it's retaliation policies [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=1658&amp;amp;p=1274983149&amp;amp;z=lcn-declares-war].&lt;br /&gt;

=== Fourth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Fourth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fifth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Fifth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[iMag]]'s dec: [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=3720&amp;amp;p=1283823363&amp;amp;z=dear-icn]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances.

===== [[Netters Anonymous]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there was war!&lt;br /&gt;

On April 27, 2011 [[Sons of Liberty]] FS'd [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]], blindsiding both clans. [[Makinso]] finally shows up later with a late wardec [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=9170&amp;amp;p=1304273405&amp;amp;z=dear-lcn] confirming their war. &lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours later, iMagNum comes into to assist ICN/LCN. Imaginary Numbers means the defenders would have a solid member advantage, but would still be soundly defeated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tenth Round of the Alliance Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Alliance Server Round 10}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Imag are happily netting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any [[swirve.com|Swirve]] services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Beltshumeltz]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Jon316]]&lt;br /&gt;

8 letters 2 words 1 man! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Walt Hunt is known to run a country named '''Crystal Meth Polar Bear''', and has been known to be in the top 10 of the Express Server, recently placing first.  Walt Hunt, being the dirty netter that he is, hides in [[Imaginary Numbers]] as aWar in the alliance server.  To this day, no one can figure out how this netter is in a warring clan, but the fact is: his sister (aka [[Soviet]]) is the Prez. His never ending love and quest to marry [[galleri]] is always halted by her telling him no.  Never fear though, you can usually find Walt Hunt drunk and doing your grandma!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more info on Walt Hunt, we suggest this story for bedtime reading, best done in a spooky setting:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Walt Hunt had been drinking all day in Alabama as night time fell on the mountains. The river was as smooth as glass, when out of the darkness came a heavy set woman. Now Walt Hunt is not picky when it comes to women. It is usually mind over matter. If she don't mind -- It don't matter! Whatever chick he puts his ding'a'ling in he's happy (whats better than being drunk? drunk and laid! gigigty, gigity)! Well she mentioned I looked like heaven and I said baby how would you like a piece of heaven? She said well I don't know I'm from Texas, me and my brother Mert have a little something goin' on in the panhandle. I said baby leave them Mexicans alone and get with a real man! She thought about it for a second, and I could tell it was maybe the third time she ever thought about anything in her life when she said, &amp;quot;Well Mert and ain't here so I might as well...&amp;quot; So Walt Hunt beat that fat girl's *fluff* up! She hooted and holla'd like a stuck pig! A little later, she made a little bedroom spooning. &amp;quot;Wow Walt your as white as a ghost.&amp;quot;, I said, &amp;quot;Baby I sleep all day and party all night, hard for me to get a tan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9 months later...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Walt Hunt is at his Trailor drinking cold beer and thinking about fishing, when there is a knock at the door.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hello? My names Mert i'm sure you remember Helga. I said, &amp;quot;who the *fluff* is Helga?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;That's my sister you had sex with my wife and you knocked her up!&amp;quot;, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I looked over and saw Helga. Fatter then before with a bouncing baby! She swoons at the site of Walt Hunt, remembering the hot Alabama night she had with him. Then says, &amp;quot;Walt Hunt, I was pregnant and had a kid.&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I said dammit - if I woulda known, I woulda kicked the bitch down the stairs Mert!&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Helga starts tearing up, &amp;quot;but i named him after your super white color! His name is Ghosty!&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I DONT GIVE A *FLUFF* WHAT HIS NAME IS! GET YOUR BASTARD KID OFF MY PORCH AND GO BACK TO TEXAS!&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mert was as mad as bull with his nuts caught in barb wire! &amp;quot;THATS NO WAY TO TALK TO MY KIN! I SPENT ALL THE MONEY I HAD ON TWO BUS TICKETS JUST TO COME &lt;br /&gt;
HERE AND KICK YOUR ASS!&amp;quot;, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well sorry Mert you can't make a hoe a housewife no matter how good of a woman your momma was!&amp;quot;, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now.. how about you practice falling down, Walt Hunt will be there soon enough! Mert, realizing his sister/wife's virtue was on the line, brazenly threw a punch at Walt Hunt. &amp;quot;Dammit Mert you hit like a sissy!&amp;quot;. Mert, even more outraged pulled a knife on Walt Hunt. Walt Hunt replied, &amp;quot;Arent you the dumb idiot who brought a knife to a gun fight?&amp;quot;, as he reached beside the door frame and pulled out the over/under Belgium-made berreta 12 gauge shot gun. &amp;quot;Now how bout ya'll git before something happens!&amp;quot;, Mert turned tail and made tracks like a jackrabbit with a coyote on the heels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Five years later Walt Hunt is at a local football game... (because you know what Walt Hunt likes about them high school girls; the older he gets, the more they stay the same age!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Walt hunt smells something that smells like cheap cigars and goats and looks like a skank hooker and a fat hobo!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Mert, Helga how the hell you doing?&amp;quot;, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well, Walt we makin it just fine. Moved into a cave next to a goat farmer as long as we milk the goats we get paid in goat milk! And tis making Ghosty into a strapping young man!&amp;quot;, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Walt Hunt said cooly, &amp;quot;Its probably just my genetics ;)!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mert then proudly replied, &amp;quot;I saved all my goat milk and it turned into liqour!&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Wow Mert thats great!&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Yeah i saved up all my money from goat liquor and made Helga the queen of my double wide trailer!&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;good for you Mert...&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== iMag vs. LCN ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Foreplay ===&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike many of the wars Imag gets into, this one was not just getting bored and FS'ing some netting alliance. Sept 21, Number68 (#1110) from Imag topfed broken teleprompter (#753) from LCN for over 3k acres. Over the next few days, LCN retalled L:L in accordance with their policy. Imag does not accept L:L retals and killed Wanted Dead or Alive (#149) (xLCNx) for farming. LCN attacked Imag without a war declaration, farming many Imag countries and killing two with chemical missile attacks. Imag had been on yellow alert for days killed three LCN countries during the LCN FS. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prewar Stats&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Countries:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''LCN:''' 28 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Imag:''' 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''TNW:''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''LCN:''' 445m &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Imag:''' 260m*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*''Imag had been tag-killed previously during an earlier war with SoL ''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The War ===&lt;br /&gt;
Imag was first to declare hostilities on ECT, stating they were at war because LCN forgot to feed Imag's cat. LCN's FS focused less on killing Imag and more on taking huge amounts of land, not a sentiment shared by their enemies. Imag was able to launch a counter attack during the LCN FS, and knock out about 30mnw of the net worth gap, not to mention billions of dollars worth of stockpiled bushels. Shortly after, LCN began organizing actual kill runs to take down top imag members. By the end of the first weekend however, Imag had a lead in kills 8 to 6 and was out hitting LCN 5:4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Imag's prior tag kill began to take it's toll after a week of fighting and oil prices soared. LCN, with their larger stockpiles were able to buy the needed oil and take advantage of the situation and had killed 11 imag countries to Imag's 9 kills. Hits were still even, but Imag was bogged down again by LCN's wallers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Aftermath ===&lt;br /&gt;
The war ended with a minor victory for LCN, albeit not a decisive victory. Both sides finished the set with most of the countries they started the war with. The war spilled over into the next set with LCN calling in an ally to FS imag.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[Category: Wars]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== [[Imaginary Numbers]] vs. [[Moral Decay]] (2009) ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Foreplay ===&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing really lead up to this. Moral Decay was busy netting. Imag was bored.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pre-War Stats:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tagged Countries Imag- 35 MD-49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Total Networth Imag- 410m MD-1018m &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The War ===&lt;br /&gt;
Imaginary Numbers completely blindsided Moral Decay, killing 16 MD countries during their FS. The MD CS was less than impressive, killing only 2 Imag countries. Within days it was apparent that many members of MD had little or no intention of fighting and had still logged zero hits against Imag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Imag members were quick to restart new countries. At least one member of MD, Hoop, stated on EC talk that he would not be restarting and that fighting Imag was stupid. That sentiment echoed through the MD ranks and by the fourth day of the war, Imagnum actually had a slight numerical advantage. Also by the fourth day, Imagnum had closed the total networth gap to within 50m. Imag members took bets during their warchats on how long it would be before MD talked an ally into helping them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the fifth day, some of the MD countries had restarted and Imag had lost their slight numerical advantage, but were still out hitting MD 3:2. For the next week though, hits were neck and neck between the two alliances, MD managed to regain their advantage in NW and kill several of the imag breakers. All killed Imag members restarted within 24 hours of having been killed and by the end of the second week, Imag had once again retaken the slight numerical advantage 35-33. Overall, the war looked like it could still go either way, much to the amusement of imag leadership who declared war only to interfere with MD's netting, and not to actually win.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war drug on for the rest of the set. The active members of MD were consistently able to break the Imag countries, but could not muster up the numbers to defeat Imag. Imag leadership changed tactics with a week left in the set and started killing MD restarts to rack up a larger body count. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Aftermath ===&lt;br /&gt;
The war ended in a tactical draw. Imagnum members declared victory based on their higher number of kills, MD's ruined netting, and the fact that Imag was not defeated. MD members declared victory on the grounds that Imagnum was first to start specifically killing restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Imagnum went on the next set to celebrate their 50th set as an alliance.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. However, as many records from this period are unavailable or have not been compiled and examined, there is no detailed reset by reset overview of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] and [[Rage]] =====&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum and Rage agreed to a friendly war after iMagNum finishes TIE, but Rage couldnt wait and declared on iMag on Thursday March 11th 2010. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2905&amp;amp;time=1268437768691].&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]], [[Rage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Elysium]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;

Rogue has also called in their ally, Elysium into the fight. Ely declared war on iMag at the same time as Rogue, clearly stating they were called in. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3015&amp;amp;time=1268693541172]&lt;br /&gt;

iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN declared war on iMagNum enforcing it's retaliation policies [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=1658&amp;amp;p=1274983149&amp;amp;z=lcn-declares-war].&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Fourth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;

Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances.

Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Alliance Server Round 10}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Imag are happily netting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any [[swirve.com|Swirve]] services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. However, as many records from this period are unavailable or have not been compiled and examined, there is no detailed reset by reset overview of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]], [[Rage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Elysium]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;

iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Fourth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;

Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances.

Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way.

&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Imag are happily netting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any [[swirve.com|Swirve]] services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;

== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

TIE went to war with [[Collaboration]], stating iMagNum asked Collab not to pact TIE and that TIE is on iMagNum's hitlist.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2741&amp;amp;time=1268194295954]There has been speculation that TIE was called in on the ongoing war by SoL, though this has not been confirmed. TIE attempted to get out of the Collab war mere days after they have FSed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum FSed TIE on Tuesday March 9th 2010 perhaps only because of TIE's wardec days earlier.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2838&amp;amp;time=1268343874963] The war was expected to be easy, as TIE seemed to be in a poor shape.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]] and [[Rage]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum and Rage agreed to a friendly war after iMagNum finishes TIE, but Rage couldnt wait and declared on iMag on Thursday March 11th 2010. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=2905&amp;amp;time=1268437768691].&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Infernal Elite]], [[Rage]], [[Rogue]] and [[Elysium]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following an iMag country grabbing (RoRing) Rogue, galleri, Rogue FA, stated the country will be killed. Soon after that Rogue launched Nuclear Missiles on said country. iMagNum responded by nuking several Rogue countries. On Sunday March 14th 2010 Rogue declared war on iMag.[http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3016&amp;amp;time=1268676300526]&lt;br /&gt;

Rogue has also called in their ally, Elysium into the fight. Ely declared war on iMag at the same time as Rogue, clearly stating they were called in. [http://forums.earthempires.com/boardthread?id=UMEarth&amp;amp;thread=3015&amp;amp;time=1268693541172]&lt;br /&gt;

iMag was now at war with four clans, original sizes: &lt;br /&gt;
iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[The Fist of Odin]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN declared war on iMagNum enforcing it's retaliation policies [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=1658&amp;amp;p=1274983149&amp;amp;z=lcn-declares-war].&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Fourth Round of the Alliance Server}}&lt;br /&gt;
===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances. However, before their FS was done with a CF was declared due to [[Collaboration]] being asked to stop...&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers and [[Paradigm]] vs [[Collaboration]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...A few days later, [[iMag]] returned the favour to [[Collab]], bringing in [[PDM]], whom had their own reasons to fight [[Collab]], into the war to make it less one sided. The FS was also aided by [[SoF]], who were already in war with [[Collab]] using their restarts as finishers.&lt;br /&gt;

Not long after having CF'ed [[ICN]] and [[The Neofederation]], [[Sons of Liberty]] attacks. [[iMag]]'s CS gets postponed, and as they hit back 2 days later, all hopes of a &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; war is gone as [[iMag]] has already lost 96% of it's networth.&lt;br /&gt;

Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Imag are happily netting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any [[swirve.com|Swirve]] services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. However, as many records from this period are unavailable or have not been compiled and examined, there is no detailed reset by reset overview of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN-Fist-Omega vs ImagNum-SoL War (2010) | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

[[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;

On April 27, 2011 [[Sons of Liberty]] FS'd [[La Cosa Nostra]] and [[Infernal Council of Nations]], blindsiding both clans. [[Makinso]] finally shows up later with a late wardec [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=9170&amp;amp;p=1304273405&amp;amp;z=dear-lcn] confirming their war. &lt;br /&gt;
Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours later, iMagNum comes into to assist ICN/LCN. Imaginary Numbers means the defenders would have a solid member advantage, but would still be soundly defeated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com] and [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any [[swirve.com|Swirve]] services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;

== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Imaginary Numbers''' is an alliance organized to play [[Earth: Empires]]. It was originally founded by [[Beltshumeltz]] to play [[Earth: 2025]] during the September/October reset of 2000. The Imaginary Numbers (also known as iMagNum) are notable for their unorthodox approach to the game, which emphasizes fighting wars in preference to finishing with high scores. This preference has led to the Imaginary Numbers being, by far, the longest lived alliance that has never gone a full reset without fighting in a war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ideals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a purely war oriented alliance, the Imaginary Numbers' ideals have changed several times throughout their history and have often caused controversy. While this controversy never involved cheating, some players have made accusations that the unorthodox retaliation policies and political manipulations that have been used by Imaginary Numbers to cause war are equally reprehensible.  Despite having fought some wars to defend allies or to oppose cheating and bottom feeding; the vast majority of the wars fought by Imaginary Numbers have either been justified by intentionally provoked actions or had limited/no justification at all. Of course, some wars have also been the result of legitimate land-exchange disagreements. These ideals, which govern how and why this alliance gets into war, seem to have shifted throughout history as their leadership has shifted although individual leaders have tended to follow the same path during their time running the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite some members' claims throughout its history that the name &amp;quot;Imaginary Numbers&amp;quot; is a mathematical joke, it would seem that the name can originally be sourced to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Mission_3 Front Mission 3], released for Playstation in 1999 by Squaresoft. In this game, Imaginary Numbers are a form of genetically engineered super soldiers who are superior to the previous form of soldier known as Real Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Earth 2025 ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|History of Imaginary Number on Earth: 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the September/October reset of 2000 until the end of [[Earth: 2025]] in December of 2009, the Imaginary Numbers have fought a war in every reset. However, as many records from this period are unavailable or have not been compiled and examined, there is no detailed reset by reset overview of the Imaginary Numbers' history from this period.&lt;br /&gt;

iMagNum 32, TIE 28 (though some were killed in the Collab war), Rage 33, Rogue 7, Elysium 19.&lt;br /&gt;

On the third set iMag FS'ed The Fist for FA'ing TIE during the previous set's war. War kept on going throughout the set as imag farmed FoO before LCN joined the fun, finally ending with many FoO restarts, rerestarts etc. beeing larger then the newer imag restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[La Cosa Nostra]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCN followed up on last set by doing an early assault on imag, focusing on making their countries larger by SS and PS rather than increase the advantage in countries that they already had by a ratio somewhere close to 2:1. This left iMag as little more than an really aggressive farm for LCN to feed off throughout the set, at the cost of some LCN countries and their restarts.  This was a part of the larger [[LCN/Fist/Omega_vs_ImagNum/SoL_-_June_2010 | LCN/Fist/Omega vs ImagNum/SoL]] war.&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Infernal Council of Nations]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the early mid set, ICN attacked [[SoF]]. [[SoF]] used their FDP with iMag to call iMag into the war. [[ICN]] refused to fight back, saying that they had &amp;quot;decided&amp;quot; that they had a pact with iMag, making the war rather one sided for iMag. As [[ICN]] already had lost most of their original countries, the rest was dealt with quickly, and in a few days [[ICN]] was all restarts.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Collaboration]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collaboration was hungry for a war, offering a bit more of a challenge than [[SoF]] and [[EEVIL]] that they were going to FS, and decided to incorporate [[iMag]] when they were to hit these two alliances. However, before their FS was done with a CF was declared due to [[Collaboration]] being asked to stop...&lt;br /&gt;

===== Imaginary Numbers and [[Paradigm]] vs [[Collaboration]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...A few days later, [[iMag]] returned the favour to [[Collab]], bringing in [[PDM]], whom had their own reasons to fight [[Collab]], into the war to make it less one sided. The FS was also aided by [[SoF]], who were already in war with [[Collab]] using their restarts as finishers.&lt;br /&gt;

===== [[Netters Anonymous]] vs Imaginary Numbers =====&lt;br /&gt;
Later during the set, things got hot with NA. Being the only alliance open for hits (according to the embassy anyway), NA saw a lot of hits comming their way. The situation became worse after a NA member decided that 2 countries, that retaled the overretal he had made after failing the first one, should die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NA's terms was that imag could either kill it on their own, or get reps. Imag wanted reps for their losses, aswell as NA killing their own lose end. Imag did kill the country, but decided to wait isntead of FS'ing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some days later a hit was made by imag on NA, which was followed by imag putting the attacker into dr. NA decided both should die. Imag didn't like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there was war!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Imaginary Numbers vs [[Netters Anonymous]] =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Website ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When originally formed, the Imaginary Numbers website was hosted by Inferno's [[EZclan.com]] service. However, after a war with RD(which Imaginary Numbers won), [[Beltshumeltz]] decided that Imaginary Numbers members would hide in other tags for the next reset and thought that it wasn't safe for members to upload their Status info to the ezclan website for fear that there were spies in the clan and a member/leader, [[White Guy]], offered to develop and host a separate website for the sole purpose of keeping track of members status and coordinating their actions (If memory serves me correctly, QUEBEC was hurt most by our actions thinking it was someone else!) while they were hiding in different clans.  [[White Guy]] posted on the clan's [[EZclan.com]] website asking for help in regards to the development and design of this new website and quickly recruited [[Zarcon]] to help.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new website was not initially intended to be a replacement for the [[EZclan.com]] website; however, in the early infancy state of the new website's development, Inferno shut down Imaginary Number's site without notice (we assume he caught word we were developing one of our own), so [[Beltshumeltz]] quickly fired up the legendary iMagNum Spam Bot and alerted all members to apply at the very rudimentary but functional new website.  At this point, the website consisted of a login script with 12 levels of access, basic but secure forums(only high leaders had access to view/post), and each member had their own page to upload status to where only their squad leader and high leaders could access. Thus started iMagNum's love affair with having their own website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time iMagNum rejoined as a clan, the site had fully functioning forums and a method of sharing spyops other than just personal status screens.  As the website was getting a lot of traffic from members, [[White Guy]] decided that he would start putting advertisements on each of the pages, and this quickly escalated to forcing members to click 10 ads before being allowed access to the rest of the website.  As the advertisers didn't like this, [[WhiteGuy]]'s ISP was asked to shut him down and they did.  Shortly before allt his, [[FrostCat]], a professional programmer and veteran member, had joined the development crew and on seeing that the site had been shut down, offered to pay for the indefinite hosting of the website and we quickly voted on what the domain would be.  I can't remember all the domain's we looked at, but it was a toss up between [[http://www.imaginarynumbers.com ImaginaryNumbers.com]] and [[http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org]].  The membership quickly agreed that the domain of [[http://www.LetsKillStuff.org LetsKillStuff.org]] was the best and from then Imaginary Numbers have always used [[http://www.letskillstuff.org LetsKillStuff.org]] as its primary website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to redeem himself, [[White Guy]] attempted to write a script to login to earth and continually fetch news because [[Mehul Patel]] did not respond to any requests to gain access to the same news feeds that other 3rd Party Sites had access to.  In so doing, [[White Guy]]'s first attempt caused an infinite loop that created a lot of bandwidth/strain on the Earth 1A Server.  Needless to say, that got [[Mehul Patel]]'s attention, but in a negative way... From that point until [[Mehul Patel]] made available the news and scores feeds to all third party sites, our website was blacklisted from connecting to any [[swirve.com|Swirve]] services.  Members weren't even allowed to register to play with an email address originating from letskillstuff.org (it let you register, but never sent the activation code).  This is also when [[Mehul Patel]] made it so that when searching news, only the first 200 results would show to deter anyone else from trying the same thing.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this, [[White Guy]] had very little involvement with the design and development of the website and [[Zarcon]] took on the lead role of developing the website while [[FrostCat]] continually paid for and set out an agreed structure to the site's code so that future developers could pick up where others have left off quite easilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time before the feeds were made available, Imaginary Numbers were forced to always use a different third party website to access News, Scores(scores primarilly because the clan didn't have enough members to keep the scores database manually updated) and other tools relating to land grabbing and war stats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a glorious day when [[Mehul Patel]](i think in 2003?) announced that the News and Ranks(AMAZING!) would be available to all third party sites without restriction.  From that day on, [[Zarcon]], [[FrostCat]], and [[Stavros]](a new arrival to the team) worked to phase out the need for third party clan hosts as fast as possible. As [[FrostCat]] and [[Stavros]] quickly became busy with real life issues, [[Zarcon]], while being the president of the clan, took on the task of finishing the overhaul on the website to give it functionality along the lines of news, war stats, country search and other tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, [[Zarcon]] and [[FrostCat]] agreed that the current, level based, permissions were not very practical and insecure as workarounds had been written to allow members of one access level to see content they normally wouldn't.  Together, they agreed to move more towards Group Based Permissions but at a much more manageable level than other third party sites.  This system consisted of Ranks(color) that did not give permissions, and an infinite amount of groups which offered permissions to different parts of the site.  This would make the site still look as clean as it did before but offer much more security and functionality for future developments.  It took until mid 2008 for [[Zarcon]] to get off his lazy backside and finish the code for the new system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the site has been redeveloped a few times to incorporate many new tools and the switch from [[OMAC]] to [[Earth empires]].  Some of the tools available today are said to rival those of other, more prominent, third party hosts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, a few other members have helped in regards to development of the site.  To name but a few:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]] designed the original LKS Random Quote Engine and to this day still adds quotes to it.  He also designed the original version of our insite ajax chat, which was a shoutbox in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Reptile]] designed the look and feel of one of the earliest versions of the website.  Some of the graphics and themes are still used today.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Tavi]] designed the current public theme for the website...    It's AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others who have made contributions to the website not listed above:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[BlackSeifer]] for his many monetary contributions to hosting of LKS&lt;br /&gt;
*[[E1M1]] for designing forum polls&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Soviet]] his work on alliance matrix&lt;br /&gt;
*[[bujke]] for his work on formulas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very recently, [[Iron Priest]] has taken over as the owner of the website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Members ==&lt;br /&gt;
Like any alliance, Imaginary Numbers has a large number of people who have contributed to its growth and development over the years. In some cases these players are known outside of the alliance, but in many more cases they're not. This is meant as a list of players who are strongly associated with their time playing as a member of Imaginary Numbers and are notable within the Earth community as a whole. Omission of those who do not meet these requirements should not be viewed as a diminishment of their contributions to the alliance itself.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Beltshumeltz]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fooglmog]]&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
Provider of comments about being pantless&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Background ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tisya is a Malaysian female whom have been playing in [[Paradigm|PDM]] since somewhere between 2001 and 2003. As she joined [[Fallen Angels]] in 2001, it's more likely she has been in PDM since 2002 or 2003.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Role ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Paradigm, Tisya is known by the title Her Royal Highness due to her princesshood.  She has won the PDM award for sexiest member numerous times.  During warchats Tisya helps to motivate members by playing without various articles of clothing.  No pants seems to be the most effective killing aid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Drivers License Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tisya is from Malaysia, and is therefore not included in the prejudice about Asian females being bad drivers as this is only true for Asian females from further to the north (Chinese, Korean and Japanese). Strangely, Tisya has not yet taken her drivers license, even though she's like 100 years old. This is leading many to believe that she is infact an immigrant from the north. Tisya firmly denies these statements and says that once she has slept with her instructor and gotten her licens, she'll show us all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The fear of fridays ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tisya has a deep-rooted fear of fridays, as the irc-snippet below shows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tisya is not looking forward to tomorrow :(&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;iE1M1&amp;gt;it's a friday&lt;br /&gt;
- Tisya quit&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is also clear that this fear is great enough for Tisya to enter a state of panic, and flee in terror at the mere mentioning of this week day. It's not known why she has this fear, but there exists some rumours about knitting being forbidden on fridays in Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* crap..I lost another knitting needle on my bed.. thankfully it's not a sharp one&lt;br /&gt;
* you're just jealous because you're too young to qualify to be nibbled :P&lt;br /&gt;
* if i were 100 years old, it's safe to say I'm the hottest 100 yr old there is&lt;br /&gt;
* oooh my snail had babies :D&lt;br /&gt;
* the guy testing me on the road (which i passed amazingly) did ask me if I was married...maybe it helped that I wasn't?&lt;br /&gt;
* this is true, I am indeed a walking contradiction&lt;br /&gt;
* I am a noob&lt;br /&gt;
* my first crush was optimus prime&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
