The Spartans are a clan of wasteland warriors.
Contents
History
The clan started initially as a hideout for the most hardcore of the Dark Flame (DF) wasteland fighters, 3000 wl points per week minimum and long time DF membership. At its peak the clan had around 10 members all solid wasteland maniacs.
The clan was used by members to plan wasteland tactics, coordinate attacks, DF gossip, trash talk the always absent Black Hand etc.
In the beginning, the clan maintained a strict policy of kicking anyone that did not meet the 3k wl point criteria 3-4 weeks in a row but when more of the members became inactive the clan turned more into a old wl veteran internal admiration club. Especially in the case of yehrite, who had moved to a BH position and scoring below 100 wl points a week for months in a row.
A popular event was the "Spartan hour", it was an agreed set time of day when a majority of the Spartans would join forces in wl and toy with the other gangs.
2011 Exile
Internal struggle that shook Dark Flame at the start of the year 2011 resulted in many DF veterans to be seen as outcasts and traitors. The Spartan clan changed its requirements and its goal toward bringing a better leadership for Dark Flame in the battles to come.
Although new to this type of task, clan's actions and its impact on the wasteland affairs have attracted the attention of other gangs and staff on short notice, with Clan's forums visited by numerous staff members and postings by the game creator as well.
Some 7 months into the Exile, breaking a long silence, Dark Flame's deity Cain declared Spartans as traitors to the gang thus denouncing their goal and their means to achieve them.
Goals
Long before the exile the Spartans were all part of the core members of DF. The clan holds several ex Black Hand and even more of the Spartans have held DF leadership positions in the old glory days of DF. The Spartans still count themselves as DF and part of the clan requirements is to be willing to return to DF once the goals are met.
The root of DF's problem from the point of view of the Spartans is that the system of selecting new BH members is a lottery, and when the lottery fails DF is left with a council that can be lazy, inactive and corrupt without any means of removing the BH member. While the other gangs all have a system to remove incompetent and unfit council members, DF lacks it. The goal of the clan is not only to remove the BH members that were responsible for the exile but also to find a permanent solution so that bad leadership is removed before it has the chance to damage DF.
Do you have what it takes to be a Spartan?

Wasteland action
wl round 4, 2011, Spartans in TC: Spartans were fed up with the hate campaign from the BH so Nemesis decided Spartans needed to show DF that hate is not the way. TC council was in on the idea provided Spartans donated the wl points needed. The result is showed below, the "Leonida's Smile".
