AF Shadow Tier

The AF Shadow Tier known simply as Shadow Tier was a special operations sub-faction of the larger server-wide faction known as AlphaFlame. Any player who joined the group was authorized to participate in special ''Game Master Missions. ''These missions were either exclusive to members of the Shadow Tier, or it gave the members of the tier special perks during server-open missions. The faction was disbanded on June 28th, 2014.

Creation
The group was created as a sub-group of the AlphaFlame server faction. The team was created as a group of players who played missions that were created in real-time by a Game Master. Missions were sometimes story driven, survival based, or play-as-you-go styled. Members had joined and left at regular rates, however there were only ever three members from creation to completion.

Missions
Missions were conducted in a separate flatlands world on the server which was populated with content prior to a mission by the Game Master. Players would be tasked with a job to do under a set of guidelines (games could have been roleplay) and the Game Master had to create the mission around the player.

Most missions consisted of player built vehicles, buildings, and environments, as well as online found content. The assets were imported via WorldEdit and different plugins contributed to different elements of the story/gameplay.

Disbanding
The group was disbanded on June 28th, 2014 after its final mission had a turnout of twelve players (60% of the server slots). The group was closed down a few weeks before all of AlphaFlame was retired.
