General[]
The Mayhem Syndicate, also known as TMS, referred to as the Syndicate Order during its early days by Cadets, is an organized independent agency of assassins, snipers, agents, and warlords. Sworn enemies of the Pinewood Builders Security Team, against whom they often fight a continuous recondite war for the Pinewood Builders Computer Core.
Whereas the Pinewood Builders Security Team seeks to remain loyal to PB and save the core from imminent danger by maintaining control over the different sectors, The Mayhem Syndicate fights to ensure that the core either melts or freezes while wreaking havoc to the facility, as it allows for the generation of a new core, and the increase in stability of power usage in the World of Roblox, following into the Pinewood Conspiracy of Power.
When TMS was created, its purpose was to develop a strategy that would use intelligence and analysis to devise plans to overthrow the core and the staff. Today its primary goal is to collect, analyze, evaluate, and gather intelligence to perform covert actions to raid and melt/freeze the PBCC facility.
Uniform[]
As of February 2023, there are various different uniforms that can be purchased and worn. The uniforms are required to be worn while one is on TMS duty in all facilities where a giver for it is present. The uniform sets were designed by WickyTheUnicorn, who has designed multiple PB uniforms in the past.
The uniforms are displayed here: Uniforms
The uniform giver in PBCC is currently located at the TMS Hideout at the cargo area right by the Nuke/Cargo train spawns at the Pinewood Builders Computer Core. There are also uniform givers at the PBDSF and Rynver Stronghold. In addition, running the command “!tmsuniform” gives you the standard TMS uniform. In PBCC, wearing the hazmat, firesuit (with or without the TMS uniform), or the core suit, all count as valid uniforms as well.

The Ape King[]
This rank is held by former Architect Irreflexive, who got the rank after returning to Pinewood as a Facilitator.

Events[]
Raids[]
In raids, TMS attack a PB facility (usually PBCC) and attempt to cause chaos inside it through a variety of objectives, such as causing a meltdown or freezedown. Below lists the various types of raids that can be scheduled and details about them.
Patrol Raids[]
- Can be hosted by Captains+
- No marks are given to attendees; they are meant to be fun raids on PBST/PET/joint patrols.
- It runs on a separate schedule from normal raids, allowing them to run at the same time as normal raids. These raids also have no cooldown time following them, but only 1 patrol raid can be hosted at a time as they cannot overlap. These do not follow the normal hosting permissions.
Practice Raids[]
- Can be hosted by Inquisitors+
- These raids are meant to be practice, so no marks are given to attendees. 1 mark is possible as a bonus, but not required to be given.
Level 1 Raids[]
- Can be hosted by Inquisitors+
- Up to 2 marks can be earned by default. A bonus mark is given to one member if the raid host believes that member performed extraordinarily well.
Level 2 Raids[]
- Can be hosted by Inquisitors+
- Up to 4 marks can be earned by default. A bonus mark is given to one member if the raid host believes that member performed extraordinarily well.
MEGA Raids[]
- Organized by Instructors+, Inquisitors+ can host a server in these multi-server (typically 6 servers) raid.
- While Instructors do have the power, the Architect is always the one that organizes a MEGA raid.
- Up to 8 marks can be earned by default. A bonus mark is given to six members (one per server raided) that the server raid hosts believe performed extraordinarily well in their respective server.
- MEGA raids are rare and are typically only hosted once every two to three months.
Incursions[]
- Can be hosted by Inquisitors+
- Up to 4 marks can be earned by default. A bonus mark is given to one member if the raid host believes that member performed extraordinarily well.
- In these raids, the objective is to control 2-3 districts in PBCC selected by the raid host for the duration of the raid.
Mayhem Strikes[]
- Can be hosted by Inquisitors+
- 1 mark max is usually given to attendees at the host's discretion, once TMS' objective has been reached.
- These are unscheduled raids in which a TMS Inquisitor posts their profile link in the TMS Backup Channel in the Communications Server. It is advised to join the server for Mayhem Strikes to know when they happen. Must be 13+ to join the server.
- Mayhem Strikes are meant to bring back the old charm of the Syndicate, in which a small group of TMS raids a public server and the public server players themselves are the resistance.
Reverse Raids[]
- Can be hosted by Instructors+
- Up to 4 marks can be earned by default. A bonus mark is given to one member if the raid host believes that member performed extraordinarily well.
- In these raids, the roles of PBST, TMS, and PET are switched; PBST and PET must melt or freeze the core while TMS must protect the core.
Mega Freezedowns/10x Meltdowns[]
- Can be hosted by Instructors+
- Up to 10 marks (one per melt/freeze) can be earned by default.
- In these raids, TMS must get 10 meltdowns or freezedowns depending on the event. Unlike other raids, there is no time limit and the raid only ends once 10 meltdowns/freezedowns have been achieved.
Trainings[]
This category of events is hosted by Instructors+ and usually take place at the PBST Activity Center or Pinewood Builders Computer Core. Similar to trainings in other subgroups, they usually involve attendees completing activities chosen by the host. After training, members who came will receive 0-5 marks based on how they did in the activities and their behavior. If a member was disruptive, broke handbook rules, did not follow directions, or did not participate, then an instructor can issue zero or negative marks. On the other side, if a member performs extraordinarily they may receive 5 marks. There are also different types of trainings that have different focuses. Below list the other different types of trainings.
Raid Tips and Tricks Trainings[]
In these trainings, attendees are taught the basics of raiding PBCC. Combat activities are occasionally sprinkled in. Getting points in this training is a combination of attendance/participation and completing activities.
Combat Trainings[]
In these trainings, all of the activities are combat activities, such as team deathmatches and free for alls.
Joint Trainings[]
In these trainings, a Special Defense/Marshall+ co-hosts a training with an Instructor with PBST/PET attendees and TMS attendees. Activities are decided in an alternating fashion by the co-hosts.
Arena Practice[]
In arena practices, an Instructor+ allows attendees to practice for ranked evaluations by activating the arenas and modifying them according to normal evaluation settings. Unlike other events, no marks are given for attending it.
Group Photo[]
In group photos, TMS gather up in a facility selected by the Architect to take a groupwide photo. This occurs roughly once every year.
Lore: The Raid of Fire[]
This lore is unofficial and was written by DrBablox/MojaveTrooper.
The Raid of Fire, also known as the Battle of Pinewood Computer Core, or as the Great Raid of Fire, was a major raid of the Great Raid War that lasted almost 3-5 hours and led to the destruction of the first core. It was a crippling and big fall to the PB and one of the Mayhem Syndicate's first major victories. It all started when the Syndicate sent a large force against PB.
A message made by a PBST Commander to all PB personel to warn them about TMS Raids
The Syndicate’s large force that was sent consisted of armies of skilled recruits and troopers, supported and led by the elite pilots and trainers. An analysis of the plans stolen from the PBDSF identified a weakness in the computer core, placed there by the PB Chairman, a small thermal exhaust port that led to different lasers that surround the core itself and served the purpose of heating and cooling the core, since leading to the main reactor core which would allow access to a point that could cause a chain reaction that would destroy the entire facility and consequently the entire desert. All they had to do was get in the core, keep the lasers on, and prevent any security forces from stopping them.
During the raid, Syndicates in the facility, including pilots and agents who were left behind watched the huge swarm battle from the admin center, along with the numerous TMS Troopers, Operatives, and Instructors, along with the army of recruits battled, and tallied the Syndicate casualties as they occurred during the raid. Meanwhile, some of the TMS was keeping on lasers, off to coolants and fans, and kept the security from attacking them. which eventually led to the core being unstable and causing a meltdown, which is the evacuation of the PB and the Syndicates, and the knifing blow to the PBST.
Weapon Looks[]
- TMS Weapons have simlar paint/design to Credit/OP weapons with the Red neons replacing Credit's Orange/OP's Yellow and having a TMS Logo on the sides
- UPG TMS Weapons have simlar design to that of TMS's default weapons but with a Lavender-esque neon added to them
