Doom City Conflict: Difference between revisions

The '''Doom City Conflict''', orsometimes known as '''Operation Doomsday''' as BUILD called it, was a conflict initiated on [[CivMC]], having begun on December 12th, 2023 and ended on December 19th, 2023. The initial conflict was sparked due to a disagreement over the [[Mount Augusta|Mount Augustan]] nether portal, formerly belonging to Cortesia Del Mar and [[Mehri]]. Following disagreements between [[Doom City]] and [[Mount Augusta]] over the portal, members of [[Doom City]] ([[Laconia|Laconians]]) raided and stole from [[Arsenia|Arsenia's]] factory bunker and [[Arsenia|Arsenia's]] Birmingham Bunker, eventually resulting in [[SymSquid]] being pearled by [[SQOpenSpellBook]]. <ref name=":2">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18jditn/gloom_city/</ref> On December 19th, the conflict escalated significantly at the border between [[Mount Augusta]] & [[Doom City]] when [[Laconia|Laconian]] fighters disabled a bunker being built on the [[Mount Augusta|Mount Augustan]] border, causinginitiating a fight that caused SQOpenSpellbook to fleeretreat until reinforcements arrived.

Later throughout the day, [[Nightmarr]], [[SymSquid]], [[Defender4488]], and [[SQOpenSpellBook|SQOpenSpellbook]] were all pearled as fighting between the two factions continued; leading [[Defender4488]] to declare that a state of war existed between [[Doom City]] and [[BUILD]].<ref name=":3">{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Defender4488|sender=Defender4488|date=12-19-2023|url=https://discord.com/channels/912074050086502470/960952809447100416/1186761629946351766|text=Doom City will have to fight all of MTA's allies|channel=general|server=CivMC|access-date=}}</ref> Later that day, BUILD would formally announce its surrender after "independent fighters" from [[Estalia]] signaled their intent to bridge the vault of [[Fempire]] unless [[SymSquid]] was released.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18mlxl3/builds_surender_and_a_word_from_myself/</ref>

In the aftermath of the [[Butternut–SEC War]], the nation of [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]] was disbanded following the departure of many of its members from [[CivMC]]. This left the portal to be claimed by [[Mount Augusta]] with [[Mehri|Mehri's]] blessing<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18mgzj9/a_message_to_doom_city_from_mehri_regarding_the/</ref>. [[Mount Augusta|Mount Augustan]] officials began attempting to share the portal 20% between five nations, [[Ila'Kyavul]], [[Mount Augusta]], [[Rivia]], [[Wayrest]], and [[Doom City]]. During the early stages of MTA's nether portal project, Doom City council member, [[ShadySauce]], discovered several Mount Augustan officials using Doom City's private iceroad between Doom City's fortress, Mt. Doom, and the CDM portal. This prompted immediate discussion between [[ShadySauce]] and then MTA governor, [[ComradeNick]], in which both parties had reached an agreement for Doom City to retain their preexisting private iceroad into the portal, as well as [[Doom City]]'s nether farms to remain private. Months later, upon the return of two inactive Doom City members, [[FRESH candy]] and [[SymSquid]], discovered Doom City's private entrance into the portal to be locked, which sparked arguing and later negotiations to remerge between ShadySauce and ComradeNick. This later fell through due to the trapping of the MtA-owned portal. During the latter half of the [[War of the Icenian Coalition]], [[SymSquid]] began raiding [[Arsenia]], breaking into a lightly defended factory bunker and looting many of the factories inside.<ref name=":2" /> This would lead to a series of events that would eventually conclude with [[SymSquid]] being pearled by [[SQOpenSpellBook|SQOpenSpellbook]] and held in the [[Fempire Union]].<ref>https://imgur.com/a/nClC3gq</ref> Reparations for [[SymSquid]] to be released were set at "3 stacks of xp, 32dbs, and materials to make a bastion factory OR 32 vbs" <ref name=":2" /> for his involvement in stealing these items from [[Arsenia|Arsenia's]] factory room. However, [[SymSquid]] would escape his pearl due to server crashes just prior to the December 19th conflict.
