NoLimit was a Hardcore Factions faction on HCTeams, founded and led by Spyno. It is the most decorated faction documented on this wiki, with ten recorded Citadel captures across seven maps.
It formed out of the breakup of Amerinide after Kohi Map 23.
Parts of this article come from an interview with Spyno. Where an account is one participant's recollection it is attributed as such. Rosters, map dates and the Ohana side of the Map 9 events still need to be added.
Origins
The name predates the faction. Spyno owned the TeamSpeak server Sweatfest was using, running on the address nolimit.teamspeak3.com, so the name was already in circulation before any faction carried it.
He brought it to life as a faction after HCTeams Map 8, which coincided with the end of Kohi Map 23 and the breakup of Amerinide.
The Amerinide split
Amerinide broke up after Kohi Map 23 when Alexlm and Syncronox were blacklisted on MineHQ. With two of its leaders unable to play, the roster scattered across HCTeams Map 9: Muskett went to Ohana, and Spyno founded NoLimit.
This is why the Amerinide and NoLimit rosters overlap so heavily.
Record
Ten Citadel captures across seven HCTeams maps, all sourced. See Map archive.

NoLimit took two of four Citadels on Maps 11, 12 and 17, one short of an outright map win in each case. The remaining cells for those maps are still empty in the archive, so three map results turn on them.
Spyno holds sixteen Citadel rings in total, so six were won outside NoLimit.
Map 9 and the Ohana rift
NoLimit's first map coincided with a falling-out between the former Amerinide players who had gone to Ohana and those who had followed Spyno.
According to Spyno, the two sides had been friendly before the split, but accusations circulated during Map 9 and were directed at him. The dispute escalated to the point that AnEpicFlyingRock and Colonel told the Amerinide leaders — Alexlm, Maihn and Syncronox, then approaching the end of their blacklists ahead of Map X — that they would leave if Spyno remained. They sided with Ohana for Map X. Spyno says he returned shortly afterwards at the insistence of Maihn and Syncronox.
This account comes from one participant. Spyno has offered to put the Ohana side in contact, and their version should be recorded here alongside it before this section is treated as settled. Chat logs from the period reportedly exist.
