Collapse of Eddie Murphy: Difference between revisions
Added a shitload of references so it's harder to push blatant untruth over the article. Happy to contend with a neutrality warning, but don't dispute the facts of the event.

The '''collapse of Eddie Murphy''' was a major geopolitical event taking place between February 16, 2021 and February 22, 2021. The collapse, which affected what was at the time one of the most active nations on [[CivClassic]], [[Eddie Murphy]], is regarded as a turning point in a number of political affairs.
==Prelude==
===February 13, 2021===
At 6:00am EST ([[yodabird19]]'s time zone), Vice President of [[Cortesia Del Mar]] [[yodabird19]] was controversially pearled by the Socialist Federal Republic of [[Nyasaland]]'s Commissar [[BennyZ]] at the nation's capital's rail station. When the pearlee's own direct attempts at communication were ignored, [[Oko]], ''de facto'' leader of [[Eddie Murphy]] (which was experiencing a succession crisis on account of the split-off of [[Anyakova]] on the same day)<ref>https://discord.com/channels/803462577979654145/803467222365634560/811405045270577162</ref>, an ally of [[Cortesia]]'s via the [[Defense Union for Mutual Prosperity]]<ref>https://civwiki.org/wiki/DUMP#History</ref>, took it upon herself to pursue the case, quietly, seeking an uncontroversial resolution.
===February 15, 2021===
With [[Oko]]'s attempts at communication also not responded to, the [[Cortesia]]n transitionary oligarchy, by now well aware of its Vice President's perdicament, took a new approach. At 10:00am EST, [[Cortesia]]n President [[IceCarim]] posted, on behalf of the nation's leadership, [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lkfh34/cortesian_government_address_to_nyasaland/ a public appeal] to r/civclassics, describing the situation as it perceived it and seeking an agreeable resolution<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lkfh34/cortesian_government_address_to_nyasaland/</ref>. The response in the comments was overwhelmingly positive, and public pressure mounted against [[Nyasaland]]<ref>Examples:<br>https://discord.com/channels/742831212711772261/742932187418066945/810570131653525563<br>https://discord.com/channels/415706745566920714/415706745566920716/811276689321361458<br>https://discord.com/channels/541663751875723267/782278000535273473/811440499134431253<br>https://discord.com/channels/541663751875723267/782278000535273473/810598327921803284</ref>. However, still, the Commissariat remained silent.
==Cataclysm==
===February 16, 2021===
After three days of ghosting by the Nyasan Commissariat, [[yodabird19]]'s defenders were beginning to worry. At this time he was still only two months out from first joining [[CivClassic]]<ref>https://discord.com/channels/541663751875723267/553317098156195863/790795708495691797</ref>, and [[Nyasaland]] was considered inactive enough that it seemed unlikely for the nation to have any familiarity with the pearled newfriend. This, combined with the socialist nation's lack of an established court system<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A5yo4kzvWYEX5quF_xxsrGcurF7l1le_2SkLCXwWLcg/edit</ref>, led the [[Cortesia]]n Vice President to suspect he was to be [[permapearled]]. The issue, in which the entire [[DUMP]] alliance was now firmly involved, was under discussion in the alliance's leadership-only Discord channel in the evening.<ref>Obviously this can't be reffed.</ref><br>
At 7:00pm EST, [[Kayla]], who, despite being leader of a non-[[DUMP]] nation ([[Cascadia]])<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/ldjc1b/the_treaty_of_valyria_city_cascadian_independence/</ref>, had access to these critical Discord channels as a result of [[Cascadia]]'s near-partner relationship with [[Eddie Murphy]], proffered to the concerned alliance leadership a rash idea: to abuse [[Kayla]]'s namelayer-group access to [[Nyasaland]]'s [[vault]] to steal [[yodabird19]]'s pearl. [[Kayla]] received heavy pushback from
At 7:15pm EST, [[Kayla]] jumped into the [[Nyasaland]] [[vault]]. Quickly progressing to the [[vault]] center on account of her permissions, [[Kayla]] pearled Nyasan Commissar [[BennyZ]] in his own [[vault]], before immediately logging out to attend to urgent real-world concerns. This dropped the Commissar's pearl, unfueled, in a barrel at [[Kayla]]'s log-out point;<ref>https://discord.com/channels/803462577979654145/803467222365634560/811407426309980170</ref> the pearl was quickly freed, and [[Kayla]] was logboxed; [[Kayla]] then claimed to be quitting the server.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/541663751875723267/782278000535273473/811402479815753778</ref> [[yodabird19]]'s pearl was untouched.<br>
At 7:40pm EST, [[yodabird19]] returned to [[DUMP]]'s leadership chat; [[Oko]] claimed that the [[Entente]] alliance had read [[Kayla]]'s attack on its member as an attack by closely-associated [[Eddie Murphy]], and was dispatching forces to break [[Eddie Murphy]]'s [[vault]] and pearl [[Oko]]<ref>https://discord.com/channels/803462577979654145/803467222365634560/811405099825365012</ref>. To avoid this, [[Eddie Murphy]] hurriedly handed primary ownership of its [[vault]] namelayer group to [[Naglafer]], relieving the hulking newfriend nation of the asset for which it might have been attacked (and preserving the vault, as [[Naglafer]] was more respected by the [[Entente]] than [[Oko]]). To prevent any implication of the alliance, [[yodabird19]] shot out [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/llik2y/with_respect_to_recent_attacks_on_peace/ a condemnation of Kayla's actions]<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/llik2y/with_respect_to_recent_attacks_on_peace/</ref> by 8:15pm EST.
At 9:00pm EST, after nearly four days, [[BennyZ]] created a #yoda-pearl channel<ref>https://discord.com/channels/579436732966109213/811415635682787368/811416128621641738</ref> in the [[Nyasaland]] discord, in which he stated that<br>
:"For Yoda to get released the terms are that you refund a god bow(Power V, Flame I, Infinity, Unbreaking III) and that Cortesia Del Mar stays neutral in any conflicts involving Veldt and Gul"
The first term was a request for fulfillment of [[yodabird19]]'s [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/llik2y/with_respect_to_recent_attacks_on_peace/ promise "to refund the contents of the Nyasan Comissar's <nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> inventory at the time of his death"]<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/llik2y/with_respect_to_recent_attacks_on_peace/</ref>, the second was ''likely'' a consequence of [[Nyasaland]]'s budding relations with the [[Veldt]] leading to concerns about a repeat of the [[One Hour War]].

{{Main|Columbia-Cascadia War}}
At 10:30pm EST, [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lmcpyp/let_the_ballpeen_hammer_fall/ Columbia declared war on Kayla's nation of Cascadia] for its "unwarranted attack on the Nyasaland Vault", "a breach of the non-aggression clause of the Treaty of Valyria, recently signed to allow Cascadia to secede".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lmcpyp/let_the_ballpeen_hammer_fall</ref><br>
What exact events occurred following this war declaration are hotly disputed. [[Kayla]] currently (5/7/2021) claims that, while she [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w1_-oiBq0beWAzWVyjke9y8uuJV-sItFLqPKBUk6TuQ/edit?usp=sharing did destroy some Cascadian valuables] as [[Columbian]] forces approached, little legitimately owned by [[Eddie Murphy]] was damaged as a result of the [[Columbia-Cascadia War]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/mbujdh/in_response_to_some_hilarious_false_allegations/gs03vh5?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref>. However, on the day of the war's declaration, she [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lmcpyp/let_the_ballpeen_hammer_fall/gnumsf6?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 claimed to have <nowiki>"broke every single chest and factory in CAS"</nowiki> and that <nowiki>"everything is dropchested or logged out on accounts that will never login ever again"</nowiki>]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lmcpyp/let_the_ballpeen_hammer_fall/gnumsf6?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref>. [[Columbia]] holds that its sole action in the [[Columbia-Cascadia War]] was to destroy the [[Cascadia]]n state, and that it did not destroy any Murphian wealth
:Yes so<br> :1) they despawned it all<br> :2) they dropchested and or logged with it and<br> :3) oko and EM “acquired” it<br>
However, one thing is for certain: Between the (supposedly temporary, but decidedly permament) loss of its vault, and the contested events of the [[Columbia-Cascadia War]], and the psychological and reputational toll of the crisis from [[yodabird19]]'s pearling, '''Murphian activity plummeted'''.▼
:I’m leaning on the first and second one though</ref> (which is corroborated by [[shadedoom]]'s statement that [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lmcpyp/let_the_ballpeen_hammer_fall/gnumzpd?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 Kayla <nowiki>"took the loot out of Cascadia"</nowiki>] the day of the declaration<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lmcpyp/let_the_ballpeen_hammer_fall/gnumzpd?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref>). Murphians, especially [[Oko]], have made several claims, varied by individual, time, and evidence, as to who did [[Eddie Murphy]] what harm.<ref>Please dear god don't make me search for examples</ref><br>

At 7:00am EST, after five days of [[CivClassic]] players reporting substantially lower average activity on the server, [[Tiddy1806]] posted a [[Civball]] comic titled [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lpmouq/em_gone_empire_born/ <nowiki>"EM gone; Empire born"</nowiki>]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lpmouq/em_gone_empire_born/</ref>. It portrayed the formation of [[The Empire]] (as well as [[Anyakova]], though this nation was 9 days old already by this point)<ref>https://civwiki.org/wiki/Anyakova#History</ref> as the result of [[Eddie Murphy]] being bludgeoned by "BULL SHIT", officializing the death of [[Eddie Murphy]].

At 6:45am EST, almost exactly seven days after [[yodabird19]] was pearled, [[BennyZ]] of [[Nyasaland]], having received his "god bow" from a charitable [[Doommad]], freed [[yodabird19]]'s pearl.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/579436732966109213/811415635682787368/812650966595010582</ref>
===No Specific Date===
The collapse of [[Eddie Murphy]] had profound effects on its former alliance, the [[DUMP]]. Formerly an alliance of decidedly weak nations protected by a "babysitter" [[Eddie Murphy]], the defensive alliance, stripped of its most militarily capable member, was forced to dramatically realign its operations. With both [[Anyakova]] and [[The Empire]] inactive in the extreme, [[Cortesia Del Mar]] became the alliance's tentative centerpiece. The [[DUMP]]'s remaining active nations (at this time, [[Cortesia]], [[Monterrey]], and [[Blackwell]]) experienced strong pressure to develop rapidly and grow defensive capabilities, a pressure which remains in play to the present (5/7/2021).
