Aeginan independence movement: Difference between revisions

The land of Aegina was previously occupied by user Lost_ Tommy in late 2013 and early 2014, who built two giant towers in the swamp, butwhich notwould muchbecome morethe iconic centrepieces of the city of Aegina.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Aegina/comments/24f2hs/hello_i_built_what_youre_claiming/</ref> After building little else that stood the test of time, Tommy went inactive for a while, and in his absence, New Danzilona took control of the land sometime in January 2014. Under NDZ control, the entire swamp became a single plot of land under the ownership of Danzilonan citizen [[Lowtuff]], who named it Jaeger Island.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/21sef1/does_anyone_have_a_problem_with_a_new_town_being/cggab0o/</ref> Together with [[peakman2]], they built and maintained Fort Jaeger to consolidate their authority over the swamp and the melon and dark oak farms they had built on it. Then, inon theApril spring of1, 2014, authority over AeginaJaeger Island was transferred to the new residents of it_needs_bees (also known as simply Bees), Sir_Grettir, and a few others who were looking to make their own city within the DZF. TheyWanting to found their own town they named Saxony, the group made an agreement with NDZ- as agreed upon by Lowtuff and peak- saying that the Aeginanpolitical territory (with the exception of Ft. Jaeger) and government could be controlled by the gang, but the actual land Aeginathe city was on would still be owned by NDZ. Trying to unilaterally take the land away from NDZ or the DZF would henceforth, naturally, be illegal. ThroughSoon thisafter the transfer, Saxony was renamed to Aegina, which joined the DZF and soon became aits cityown autonomous nation.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/21z9ch/i_would_like_to_join_the_federation_and_start_a/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2a8nn2/dsf_uniforms_do_you_have_one/citgukj/</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.

After the pearling of petlahk, most DZF citizens had no trust or faith in Bees. Bees continued to harass petlahk and the rest of the citizens of the DZF. Proposals were made for NDZ to intervene in Aegina and remove Bees as dictator. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2ezyzd/discussion_remove_bees_as_city_manager_of_aegina/</ref> Nevertheless, heBees 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.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2ct5mb/mushroom_island_under_aeginian_empire_im_making/</ref> Bees claimed he wasn't going to declare independence, but the reality was quite the opposite.
