== Background ==
Line 71:
=== Battle of the Bridge ===
On the morning of December 19th, a border conflict between Doom City & MTA devolved into violence. Both sides contend that the other initiated hostile action, with Doom City arguing that they entered MTA to fortify their own property,<ref name=":4" /> and MTA contending that they had been subject to an unprovoked attack.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18m96da/terror_on_the_bridge/</ref> As additional BUILD fighters arrived in MTA, Doom City members, who found themselves outnumbered, briefly retreated across the river before fighting continued, eventually resulting in the bridge marking the border being covered with obsidian.<ref name=":1" /> Various battlefront skirmishes resulted in Nightmarr, SymSquid, and Defender4488 all pearled in fights near the MTA border, leaving the score at 2-1 in Doom City's favor. Hours later, SQOpenSpellbook was pearled by GGJoe in MTA, setting the score at 3-1. After SQOpenSpellbook was pearled, Doom City would release a statement making it clear that they intended to press claims on SQ <ref name=":4" /> for the insiding of the [[Arsenio Pact]] during the [[Butternut–SEC War|Butternut-SEC War]].
 
=== BUILD Surrender ===
As the situation continued on the 19th, newly independent fighters [[Lysika Lantariel|Lysika]], [[Gray911]], [[S4NTA]], [[thejkh]], and [[Walkers]] began an attack on the Fempire Vault, and it was announced that the attack would continue unless Doom City fighter symsquid was released. <ref name=":0" /> The potential of an extended fight during the Christmas season and the relative disparity in pvp forces convinced BUILD to release symsquid and issue a post formally surrendering, as well as expressing pride in their relatively less pvp oriented alliance for its performance during the war and the forces mustered in the battle at MTA. They also expressed dissent towards a long sentence for SQOpenSpellbook, citing the fact that "SQOpenSpellBook, who was 15 at the time, was manipulated by Chosen into insiding. He employed every trick to manipulate him into giving Chosen and his friends a block game advantage." <ref name=":0" /> referring to SQ's actions during the [[Butternut–SEC War|Butternut-SEC War]].
