The '''Battle of Eddie Murphy''', also known as the '''Murphy Tech Incident''', the '''Eddie Murphy Massacre''', or '''Bloody Sunday''', was a military incident involving conflict between three supposedly new players and [[Amyr]]. The incident is notable for having brought together players from a vast array of nations to pearl the three players, and for having challenged them in an extremely disproportionate way. Even though it was a [[Coalition]]/[[AF-CES]] victory it is seen as a failure of the [[World Police (CivClassic)|WorldPolice]] because of their embarrassing losses during the battle.
It is disputed on whom the blame lies for the conflict. [[Amyr]] maintains that it was instigated by Murphy Tech, as Murphy Tech player [[MagistraJWilli]] spent several roughly half an hour running back and forth between Amyr vault and the Amyr skybunker, pinging everyone snitches. When confronted by WNS2, [[MagistraJWilli]] had a complete pot loadout including debuffs, and was waiting in a tunnel which she obbied after engagement to cut WNS2 off from his bunker. WNS2 saw this as clear planning of the engagement, given that debuff kits are not typically used for kiting/escape, players do not typically travel exclusively between defensive infrastructure with snitch curtains, and disengagement does not typically include cutting off your opponents ability to retreat. [[Murphy Tech]] insists that [[Amyr]] had no reason to attack her, and claim that they had previously set a rule for all members not to leave bunkers without a full potion loadout, after the attempted pearling on November 14th by Eddie Murphy.▼
==Prelude==
[[Nuts0ni]] and [[Zenos11]] first joined [[CivClassic]] and [[Imperial Federation of Eddie Murphy|Eddie Murphy]] on November 2, 2021. Appearing to be precocious newfriends, the two formed the corporation [[Murphy Tech]], and immediately began producing resources such as XP, bastions, and obsidian. Suspicious of this development, [[Imperial Federation of Eddie Murphy|Eddie Murphy]] investigated the duo, and found that they had constructed a bunker-iceroad network stretching from [[Pholadelphia]] to the [[Geographical Regions#Southern Pripyat Sea|Southern Pripyat Sea]]. Alarmed, [[Imperial Federation of Eddie Murphy|Eddie Murphy]] nearly attempted to pearl the group on November 14, 2021, but backed down when [[Zenos11]] provided an alibi: that he had looted an intact [[Lexington]] bunker shortly after spawning in, funding his activities with the resulting loot. [[Imperial Federation of Eddie Murphy|Eddie Murphy]] chose not to worry about the situation further, and even taught the players the basics of Civ combat - vault combat included.
On November 20, [[MagistraJWilli]] - who had by this date joined [[Murphy Tech]] - pinged several @everyone snitches in [[Amyr]]'s city, New moon, after running around the Amyr vault for several minutes (but not pinging many everyone snitches because the snitch curtain was incomplete). [[WNS2]] logged on to pearl the player. After attacking [[MagistraMJWilli]], WNS2 was blocked off from his bunker, and pearled as he attempted to disengage and kite back. He was released mere seconds after being pearled, which was considered suspicious as freeing pearls is a common tactic of experienced raiders (Otherwise they can be used to track raiders back to base). This was the first clue that these players may have been alts, a suspicion which developed as the battle wore on. In response to this altercation, [[Amyr]] labeled [[MagistraJWilli]] as pearl-on-sight in [[AF-CES]]. [[MagistraJWilli]]'s home nation of [[Imperial Federation of Eddie Murphy|Eddie Murphy]] attempted to arrange her extradition, but when [[MagistraJWilli]] refused to log on, an alternative deal was struck: [[MagistraJWilli]] would not log on for a week, and would return WNS2's belongings at the end of the week.▼

==Conflict==
On November 21, [[MagistraJWilli]] logged on anyway; [[FKA_Twink]] quickly located them in an unknown fortification in the sea between the [[Imperial Federation of Eddie Murphy]] and [[Amyr]], less than 1000 blocks north of the Amyr vault project. It was defended by [[Zenos11]] and [[Nuts0ni]]. Stunned and incensed, available [[AF-CES]] fighters such as [[WNS2]], [[yodabird19]], and [[NEBULANDD]] loaded into a voice chat in the [[AF-CES]] Discord and started to organize an attack. However, as support started to pour in from the [[MAC]] and other friends of Amyr (and later bored clickers), the VC was shifted to Amyr Discord, as it was the easiest mutual ground in which to hold the VC.<br>
Initially, [[Murphy Tech]] was not aware of what was going on;
The inclusion of [[Naglafer]] in the [[Amyr]]ian voice chat quickly spread the event beyond [[AF-CES]], and many [[Coalition]] fighters joined the cause against [[Murphy Tech]]. The voice chat in [[Amyr]]'s Discord ballooned to 30+ participants, and over a dozen fighters converged on [[Amyr]]'s skybunker to coordinate an attack on what appeared to be a forward bunker against the [[Amyr]] vault site. In these uncoordinated early stages, five fighters were pearled: [[yodabird19]], [[Mokotowskie]], [[FKA_Twink]], [[1drop]], and [[Naglafer]]. [[OrangedYT]] and [[Goop04]] were then pearled attempting to break [[yodabird19]] free, but were swiftly released after [[oko]] lied that they were misinformed and that [[Imperial Federation of Eddie Murphy|Eddie Murphy]] was on their side.<br>
Following five hours of uncoordinated fighting (in which [[K0mmi]], [[MrDoomBringer]], [[the__druid]], [[ninjajackh12]], and [[toontasker]] were pearled), all [[Murphy Tech]] bunkers were cracked (in the process, [[yodabird19]] was freed) but one: their easternmost, most fortified bunker, in the [[Geographical Regions#Southern Pripyat Sea|Southern Pripyat Sea]]. The fight coalesced around this final bunker. The attacking forces adopted a two-pronged approach, sending one group ([[Gregy165]], [[NEBULANDD]], [[Troll_Bebek]], etc.) to attack the bunker at ground level, and another ([[1drop]], [[BlueSylvaer]], [[VoteLabour]], etc.) to push a skybridge despite the defenders not actually having a skybunker. [[Gregy165]] and [[NEBULANDD]] were pearled on the ground team, but after two hours, the skybridge reached and broke the bunker's bastion.
The final stage of the conflict centered around the now bastionless and isolated [[Murphy Tech]] bunker. Amidst this chaos, [[MagistraMJWilli]] was banned from [[CivClassic]]. The remaining two EM Tech players - [[Nuts0ni]] and [[Zenos11]] - resisted for an additional hour, concurrently brewing potions inside their central room
Finally, as the attackers started breaking into the bunker, [[Zenos11]] and [[Nuts0ni]] burnt all of their valuables both owned and acquired from pearled fighters- and logged out permanently. All 11 remaining pearls at the time - [[Mokotowskie]], [[FKA_Twink]], [[1drop]], [[Naglafer]], [[K0mmi]], [[the__druid]], [[ninjajackh12]], [[toontasker]], [[Gregy165]], [[NEBULANDD]], and [[yodabird19]] - were freed by [[Ch1pr]], who spent considerable time reaching the pearl chest.
