The Beginning of the End

August 2002 - December 2002

The Apocalypse had begun on the 15th August 2002 with the creation of KniT's Disciples of the Apocalypse [Kapoks] clan. The Founder had no idea of what it would become, but had the dream of leading a group of warriors down the path to success and global domination. The clan mainly started off as a fun clan, with ladder success as a future priority. Many players came and went, several of which ended up being long-term members and strong figures amongst our growing community. Playing mainly as a Red Alert 2 clan, the players had many fun games making several rivalries and allies in the process. The most noteworthy rivalry was with We Kill Seelz [Seelz] clan. Kapoks lost every game against them but it was a hell of a lot of fun either way. A good start.

Year 2003

January 2003 - June 2003

The new year brought new hopes that Kapoks will have their turn in the spotlight. However the lack of competitive experience and increasing number of inactive members grew worrying. An implosion was imminent and by May 2003, Kapoks was facing extinction because there must have been less than a handful of semi-active members. Grabbing onto the final strand of hope, the Leader Knit2003 took it into his own hands and campaigned towards success in the new XCC Community Ladder (XCL). With a massive individual effort he achieved rank 7 - a Hall of Fame achievement. This era also saw the launching of the Kapoks website with forums, as an attempt to improve communication amongst the members.

Renegade Revolution

July 2003 - December 2003

After the XCL success of May 2003, Red Alert 2 Kapoks died out almost completely. This left a clear path for the new wave of Kapoks Disciples. The legendary Zacman63 was most probably the biggest contributor towards the rise of the Renegade branch of the clan. This clan branch evolved quickly and didn't take long to establish itself as the new main focus of the clan, with some major new recruits and rapid advances in playing ability. During this time, the Red Alert 2 branch managed to grab a couple of new members and began to slowly get going again.

Taking the Power Back

January 2004 - April 2004

Eventually the Red Alert 2 branch managed to catch back up with Renegade and both sides were beginning to prosper. The clan had finally hit one of it's strongest ever points. While these branches were building up towards future ladder campaigns, it had been decided that it was time to introduce a new fully functional branch. Many had been started on trial, however, in the end, managed to fail to impress. This included Diablo II (Lord of Destruction), Generals (Zero Hour) and Call of Duty.
