Server vs. HCF
This article is very bad on dates and pictures, for a better read see eaglesrocks' reddit post

HCF come to civcraft around mid december, determined to 'pearl the ancaps', wolrd police formed to combat them, mostly old ancaps + assorted random new people. World police initally seem to be winning but a number of people break foofed's vault, they ultimately end up banned as well as apacheblitz.

Despite the bannings HDF re groups and breaks the vault again, battle of rothbard, operation liberty and the attempt on the WB vault of Travis/Prereq fails, civcraftians mostly stay down as yankess, camxd, proudokiee wreak havoc pearling everyone in sight.

Over 350 people are pearled and placed in Yankee's vault(SW of 0,0) Spurion's vault(0,0) and the largest of the all the WB vault.

After yankees got banned cliffnerd5 dismantles the vault and releases everyone inside.

At this point spurion had left and his vault stood undefended, fearful of being unable to defend the vault a second time after operation libery a number of HCF players break his vault and move the pearls to the WB vault leaving it as the only remaining vault.

Needs stuff about TC(Augusta) and Beverly Hill(danzilona) people and how they did not get pearled.

The HCF first appeared to be a welcome member of society. They presented a new challenge to the factions that had held power for most (if not all) of the time Civcraft had existed. The HCF arrived claiming to want to destroy the ancaps. The HCF successfully took out many of the ancaps' primary players, sending the rest of the ancaps into hiding. With the world power so easily pushed out of the way, the HCF realized there was really no one to get in their way. They could do whatever they wanted. And so they did. The Christmas Massacre occurred, with an estimated 50 pearlings. Civcraft was devastated. Concentration camps were opened up (Wutang Resort by MrTwiggy being the most famous) and server morale continued to drop as the pearled number increased. During this time the first question you asked someone was: &quot;Are you HCF?&quot; They had complete and utter control over the server.

Even after all the cities they had destroyed and all the players they had pearled, many believed them when they claimed &quot;We are not all one group,&quot; and &quot;we want to be a part of our own society.&quot; They let it seem as if we were ok to go back to the way things were, and immediately crushed us again.

As January rolled by things slowly began to calm down. Many of the high-profile HCF (Spurion, Gordge, MrTwiggy, etc.) had left already, leaving vaults full of prisoners. The server limped on for the rest of January and the beginning of February, still for the most part in hiding from hot-head HCF players like y_ankees and mcfluffykins that still pearled for the most part without discretion. Then, y_ankees was banned. Many Civraftians naively rejoiced, celebrating &quot;The end of the war.&quot;

Many veteran players argued (correctly) that we could not celebrate yet, as this was just one player and they would most likely retaliate for the banning. Another strong wave of HCF attacks came after y_ankees was banned, (possibly including y_ankees himself on a VPN). The server was discouraged yet again. However with the later banning of richard_t, the HCF began to crumble. Also, with an introduced pearling cost of 4 coal a day, things were looking bright. Although the server had its moments of inner struggle (see Aristopolis vs. Buenos Aires) for the most part Civcraft was united.

The official end of the war came near the end of February, when all prisoners held in the World Border Vault were released. This consisted of roughly 40 powerful civcraft players (and their alts). Civcraft celebrated, and this time it seemed the HCF threat was finally gone. Many new cities began to spring up, and remaining HCF either reformed or were hunted down.
