The Doom City Conflict is an ongoing armed conflict initiated on CivMC, having begun on the morning of December 19th, 2023.[a] The initial conflict was sparked with an escalation at the border between MTA & Doom City, where a bridge between the 2 nations was covered in obsidian[1] during a fight between BUILD & Doom City fighters. This escalation was following numerous examples of increasing tensions [2] [3] between the two countries and citizens of the BUILD alliance. Following this, on December 19th, 2023, Nightmarr, SymSquid, and Defender4488 were all pearled in renewed fighting between the two factions; leading Defender4488 to declare that a state of war existed between Doom City and BUILD.[4]

Background

In the aftermath of the Butternut–SEC War, the nation of Cortesia Del Mar was disbanded following the departure of many of its members from CivMC. This left the CDM/Doom portal in disputed territory, with Doom City seeking to negotiate continued access via a preexisting personal iceroad & entry. During negotiations however, Mount Augusta requested that the public entry to the portal be used, which was trapped with a foot-grinder.[3] This resulted in a member of Doom City being killed.[5]

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.[6] This would lead to a series of events that would eventually conclude with SymSquid being pearled by SQOpenSpellbook and held in the Fempire Union Vault.[7] Reparations for SymSquid to be released were set at "3 stacks of xp, 32dbs, and materials to make a bastion factory OR 32 vbs"[8] however, SymSquid would escape his pearl just prior to the December 19th conflict.

Course of the Conflict

Battle of the Bridge

On the morning of December 19th, a border conflict between Doom City & MTA devolved into violence, as a preestablished FOB on the Doom City side of the river became a staging ground for fighting, resulting in a bridge marking the border being covered with obsidian.[1] As fighting continued, Nightmarr, SymSquid, and Defender4488 were all pearled in fights in MTA, leaving the score at 2-1 in Doom City's favor. Hours later, SQOpenSpellbook was pearled by GGJoe, setting the score at 3-1.

Reactions

Statement of Neutrality

In the hours following the initial battles in MTA, Pavia & Nara would issue a joint statement claiming neutrality both in the present and going forward, and stressing that the absence of other EP nations in the post shouldn't be taken as a sign of involvement.
