Aeginan independence movement: Difference between revisions

}}

 

 

The land of [[Aegina]] was previously occupied by user Lost_ Tommy, who built two giant towers in the swamp, but not much more. Tommy went inactive for a while, and then [[New Danzilona]] took control of the land. Under NDZ control, not much was built on it except a fort and a few farms. Then, in the spring of 2014, power over Aegina was transferred to the new residents of it_needs_bees, Sir_Grettir, and a few others. They made an agreement with the NDZ saying that the Aeginan territory and government could be controlled by the gang, but the actual land Aegina was on would still be owned by NDZ. Trying to take the land away from NDZ or the DZF would be illegal. Through this transfer, Aegina joined the DZF and soon became a city.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/21z9ch/i_would_like_to_join_the_federation_and_start_a/</ref>

 

 

After Bees came into power, Aegina started to develop into a real town. The original founder Lost_Tommy came back and joined the city.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Aegina/comments/24f2hs/hello_i_built_what_youre_claiming/</ref> Many factories were built, along with a rail to NDZ and Eros Varos, another DZF town. Bees gathered lots of supplies and had plans to make automated farms, a wall around the city, and expanded road infrastructure.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/27kmfg/the_dzf_island_chain_aegina_is_recruiting_again/</ref> Unfortunately, most of these plans never saw the light of day or were only half complete. Many of Aegina's citizens also left to become a part of the SPQR. As the summer began, Bees started to not play as much, and development of Aegina declined as it fell into the hands of the other residents (notably AMBeaudry who had a really sweet pig farm).<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Aegina/comments/285fxh/griefed_again/</ref>

 

 

On July 31st, three residents of Vale, jakemeister, strattmatt, and snorri raided Bees' home in Aegina and planted a diamond-reinforced Vale flag in the town.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2ceg87/aegina_raided_by_jakemeister123_strattmatt57_and/</ref> Bees had a history of harassing and sometimes griefing Vale, most of which took place around when Bees first joined Aegina. They had heard that Bees had not been around for a while, so they took this as their opportunity to get revenge. In the eyes of the Danzilonans, however, this was not justified revenge. They felt that this was an attack on the city of Aegina.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2cg3sj/trial_needs_to_be_held_for_the_crimes_committed/</ref> The majority threw their support behind Bees, and nationalistic sentiment was rampant in the DZF. Within a matter of a few days, the situation was defused by the cooperation of DZF officials and the three Vale citizens. Bees was paid reps, and the situation was resolved peacefully.

 

 

Since the town's creation, Aegina had always had strong relations with the town bordering Aegina to the north, Eros Varos. Bees had always gotten along with its leader, petlahk. They were the leaders of the two smallest (but still active) towns in the DZF, so they banded together when it came to small-town voting rights and how they were represented in the DZF government. Their relations were nice until a conflict arose in mid-August.

Bees was told to pay reps for the incident since he let petlahk's dropped items despawn and held him unjustly, but he didn't do so until two or so weeks later when he was pearled by the DSF. Many agreed that Bees showed immaturity throughout the whole situation, and the faith Danzilonans had in him quickly dwindled.

 

 

After the petlahk incident, most DZF citizens had no trust or faith in Bees. Bees continued to harass petlahk and the rest of the citizens of the DZF. Nevertheless, he retained power of Aegina and continued to develop it. He made a few recruitment posts, which gathered a good handful of citizens. He gathered more supplies, started to build more housing, finally designed and began construction of the wall, and expanded XP production. The idea of an Aeginan Empire came into Bees' mind. Bees claimed he wasn't going to declare independence, but the reality was quite the opposite.

On September 19th, the thought of Aeginan independence went down the drain when Bees griefed Eros Varos and intended to cause harm by spawning a ghast.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2gwkxc/why_im_declaring_bees_pos_indirect_evidence_or_not/?ref=search_posts</ref> Bees had been trolling petlahk and others for a while at this point, but this was the last straw. JPEGz, TheTrackball, and a few others attempted to pearl Bees, but he eluded their capture by killing himself and logging off. By now, Bees had been deemed POS by the DZF and was banned from Aegina.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2h1e6t/official_declaration/</ref> Bees' dictatorship of Aegina officially ended.

 

 

Now an outlaw, Bees continued to threaten NDZ with grief and political overthrow. As a last ditch effort to save face, Bees forged a conversation with petlahk in an attempt to make himself the victim of petlahk's conspiracy.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2he4op/well_for_anyone_doubting_that_bees_isnt_a/</ref>DSF fighters caught up to Bees near Aeon on September 20th, but he jumped off a cliff and logged off, avoiding imprisonment.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2gxqp5/it_needs_bees_pearled_heres_why/</ref>
