Omega is a reset older than Rage. SOL and LaF are a reset older than Omega. The New Monsters are several resets older than SOL and LaF.
Rage was the first clan to run a tag. Change the way Earth ran.
Wrong again. Alliances used country names to tag their fighting countries long before Tirol, Insanity, etal, had the notion to split from OOA and form Rage. For example the Dons for LaF. In Rage's first reset, several alliances (including Omega's Alpha divsion) had country name tagged fighting teams (generally about half of the alliance). I do not recall Rage name tagging that set. My country got hit by what I was told were Insanity's multis while I was away on Christmas break that reset, and they were definitely not tagged (my ALPHA tagged country was landgrabbed by 'Youve', 'Hard', 'Whacked', 'Been', and 'Just' in that order - their owner wasn't a stickler for sentence structure). Someone (SOL I think) killed the multis before I got back from break.
In Rage's second reset, tags were incorporated into 1A, and everyone had them. It's possible that they set up their tag before the other alliances, but then they would have been first by a matter of minutes or hours, and hardly responsible for changing the game.
Rage's main contribution to the game was mass recruiting of untagged countries through outposts, which increased the portion of the game in tags with retal protection.
