Evolution
Evolution, also known as EVO, was an organized netgaining alliance in Earth 2025. The alliance was formed from a merger between Real Estate Developers (RED) and Un4given during the December 1, 2004 - January 30, 2005 set. Evolution enjoyed a rich mix of netting and warring, dominating the Average Networth charts for over a year straight. You can find their Earth:2025 historical records here.
When Earth: 2025 closed in December 2009, Evolution moved to Earth: Empires, and has continued netting and helping its allies achieve total victory in times of war.

Ideals
The ideals of EVO are two-fold: Netgaining, and Training.
Netgaining
Evolution is primarily a netgaining alliance, and as such desires to spend its sets netgaining rather than warring. However, in Earth: Empire's early development, it has warred on several occasions to help its allies and itself achieve the right to net in peace.
Training
Evolution prides itself with a sophisticated and involved training program which makes good netgainers out of new players.
History
Before going any further, you, the reader, need to know something important. This section, the History section, is written as if from Evolution's point of view. The events recorded herein are written as Evolution experienced them. You will notice that there is very little mention of external events unless they affect Evolution in some way. If, for example, a war between two distant alliances or coalitions had nothing to do with Evolution's existence, then it did not get recorded here. This section was written with impartiality and objectivity in mind; however, the same events recorded herein may be recorded from a different point of view from a different person or alliance; i.e., what you read here may not necessarily agree with what you read elsewhere. Each alliance will have its "side of the story", so to speak, so it will be up to you to read all accounts pertaining to any particular event in order to determine, to the best of your ability, what really happened.
A New Beginning
After the closure of Earth:2025, Evolution found itself swept into a similar game, hastily built by the players of the old Earth:2025 game. The political structure of the old game was in tatters after the war of Armageddon in Old Earth's last set, and not too many people knew what alliances would start over and what alliances would continue to look for vengeance for the actions of that set...
Dec 13th - Jan 30th, 2010 -- A new game, a new beginning for the awesomeness that is Evolution. This would be Earth Empire:EC's Beta set; a set where the EC server would be tested, and bugs would be found and fixed. Some uncertainty was present, regarding the relations with the alliances we had helped crush the preceding reset, in Earth:2025. For those of you who've no idea what went down that set, here's a small summary:
SoF killed NA's topranker the set before. SoF attacked and crushed ICN the set before and the set before that. SOL attacked and demolished Evolution the set before.
Evolution, NA, ICN, and later Collab and Regen, then banded together and crushed SoF, SOL and their allies, Rage, TIE, and ZT.
Some alliances proclaimed a sort of "tabula rasa" for the new game, declaring a "blank slate" for alliances who had been at odds with them earlier. Others wanted to continue their grudges against their enemies.
TIE, RAGE, and SoF asked for and received pacts from Evolution. SOL once again refused to pact, but stated they had other plans for the set.
In any case, this set would be rather uneventful for Evolution, save for the bugs that would pop up and get rapidly fixed by the new and very active game admins. SOL FSed Collab for Collab supposedly breaking a promise that entailed not attacking SOL last set. LaF got FSed by Imagnum and Dknights (who came from the Earth:2025 1A server because the Alliance server wasn't yet up in EE), which knocked LaF out of the netting race. Other than that, it was smooth sailing for Evolution, who would once again clinch the ANW crown at $42,837,926.
Feb 1st - Apr 2nd, 2010 -- Evolution set out to once again net to the top of the ANW list, while keeping a wary eye on SOL and SoF. Last set, SOL had once again FSed a netting alliance out of the blue, an ominous reminder to Evo members of their past encounters with SOL.
SoF signed a uNAP with Evolution this set, so Evolution would keep their focus on SOL, who didn't pact, in the first weeks of the set. Collab wanted to FS SOL for SOL's actions last set, and everyone in the server knew it. So Collab and SOL both got ready for their war.
Evolution was busy netting when, on February 23, at 2:53, a suicider struck Evolution, taking a total of 15,832 acres. It was a country that had detagged from SoF less than 3 days before. It wasn't the best suiciding that Evolution had seen, but it still had to be dealt with. However, most of the members were too focused on netting for Evolution to dispatch the suicider quickly. Only the core membership would put any attacks onto the suicider, which meant it took over 2 days before Evolution was close to killing it. Just before it would have been killed, the country went into vacation mode for just over 3 days, but it was killed soon after coming out of vacation. A couple days later, the suicider's restart tagged up in SoF again.
On March 2, Collab FSed SOL. Both SOL and Collab had been prepping for this war since the beginning of the set. However, after less than a week of fighting, it was clear that SOL was losing the war. Then, it was made abundantly clear to the server that SOL had lost when SOL called in their allies SoF, and TIE. But that was just the beginning.
SoF had also signed a uNAP with Collab, so they weren't supposed to be hitting them. However, under claims of a leadership breakdown inside SoF, Ivan, the new president of SoF, broke most of SoF's countries away from SoF, and formed a new alliance, called NaturalSelection (or, NaturaLS), and immediately began hitting Collab. They justified their breaking of a uNAP with Collaboration under the false claims that NaturaLS was a different alliance from SoF.
However, Ivan soon found out that justifying a broken uNAP by moving to a different tag works both ways. Since nobody had signed a uNAP with the new NaturaLS tag, then anybody could attack them. And Evolution, DKnights, and NA did that at midnight on March 9, in defense of Collab. They also FSed SOL at the same time. Both NA and Evolution had signed a uNAP with TIE earlier, so they couldn't hit TIE, but TIE cease-fired with Collab immediately after NA and Evolution's first attacks. TIE was then FSed by Imagnum a couple days later, who were then FSed by Elysium and Rage later on in the set.
With the combined might of NA, DKnights, Evolution, and what was left of Collaboration, the forces of SOL and the NaturaLS tag fell relatively quickly. After a couple weeks of fighting, most of the netting tags were unable to hit the tiny enemy countries, due to humanitarians. Some of the remaining larger enemy countries went into vacation mode in order to stall their impending deaths, but once they were booted out of vacation mode 2 weeks before the end of the set, they were quickly killed as well.
However, this had effectively knocked Evolution out of the netting race, so, with so many other netting alliances actually netting, Evolution had very little chance to catch up. So, they used what little stocks were available to send foreign aid to Collab's countries, while netting to the end of the set. Evolution came in 9th place in ANW, with $36,037,715.
