Unfortunately for Blockchainistan, this period was also one of harassment and attacks by raiders and griefers, mostly from Titan. It was a regular occurrence for Titan players to come to Blockchainistan and grief and raid the innocent buildfriends, even going so far as to break into Funkywee's Bitcoin Bank. Titanoids also snitched Blockchainistan land and tried to provoke fights on several occasions. These incursions, as well as the experiences Fig and Croc had in the -,+ War of Western Aggression led to the formal creation of the Blockchainistan Self-Defense Forces (BSDF). Defensive structures were built and armaments were created in the hopes of deterring Titan griefers.

==== Counter-Attack and Folding of Titan ====
Being an ardent Zionist, Croc had studied the Six-Day War and Israel's quick defeat of the aggressive Arab coalition therein. Taking a page from history, Mayor Croc commanded that a maximum pressure campaign be employed on Titan and its surrounding territories. As such, Blockchainistan forces quickly set about disabling Titan military infrastructure, conducting operations against their nether portal and XP facilities. In a move that would be called "Zelenskyesque" by Blockchain journalists at the time, Croc also sent out a plea for assistance to the wider server community, asking for help in the struggle against the griefers and raiders in Titan who sought to obby bomb and destroy Blockchainistan. Many nations answered the call, offering material and intelligence support to the Blockchainistan forces. The maximum pressure campaign and Croc's plea for help would coalesce in the attack on the main Titan skybunker the night of August 25th/26th, just 24 hours after the initial Titan attack on Blockchainistan.

Despite being outnumbered 6 to 20, Blockchainistan forces (assisted by a small contingent of Rhode Island military advisors) surrounded the Titan vault and quickly began laying siege to the griefers hiding inside. Geoponic was pearled during this siege, but the pearls of UndyneHeart and Xjiro were whisked away to Estalia by a lone Titanoid. Even though the pearls of their comrades had been moved to Estalia, the Blockchainistan buildfriends continued breaking the bastions of the vault, hoping to disable the critical piece of infrastructure. In a move that is still puzzles contemporary historians, the Titan PvPers, seemingly demoralized from losing to 6 buildfriends, decided to log out inside the skybunker rather than continue to fight. With their attackers logging out in fear, Blockchainistan forces were able to successfully neutralize the skybunker and vault below it, taking out Titan's most important military facility without losing a single player. Effectively creating a huge logbox, Blockchainistan buildfriends had folded Titan in a stunning military upset.

==== Cleanup Operations and Dissolution of Titan Industries LLC ====
After having successfully folded Titan, Blockchainistan quickly set about neutralizing the remaining Titan raid bunkers and vaults they had scattered throughout their territory. Since Titan had no actual town to speak of, instead preferring to only raid and grief, the cleanup operations went fairly quickly. Blockchainistan forces took painstaking efforts not to stoop to the level of their adversaries, freeing the pearls of many they captured who were not directly involved in the initial raid on Blockchainistan. It was also at this time that Croc made an appeal to Titan and its supporters, offering amnesty to those who had attacked Blockchainistan in return for a cessation of hostilities.

Since most of Titan had quit the night they were folded by a group of buildfriends a fraction of their size, RabbiCroc and Figasaur realized that they had become ''de facto'' majority shareholders of Titan Industries LLC. Seeing no viable future for the unprofitable and failing corporation, they formally dissolved it and its territorial claims on September 2nd. All Titan assets were liquidated and the profits accrued from the dissolution were donated to the homeless and food insecure citizens of Blockchainistan's southern Slum District. With Titan's huge desolate crayon claims dissolved, new nations soon began claiming land there.
