Estalia–Rhode Island War: Difference between revisions

Sometime around August 25th, a joint operation labelled "UD Blockchainistan Operation" lead by Titan Industries against the nation of [[Blockchainistan]] was executed and two Blockchainistani players were pearled, [[xjiro_]] and [[UndyneHeart]] while building.<ref name="gamertime" /> The fighting on the ground in Blockchainistan was observed and reported on by [[Skruntoo]], who observed Titanite fighters, including [[Shadno]], retreating to Titan after 3 Blockchainistanis attacked the large group of Titan fighters. Skruntoo claimed to have seen obsidian placed by RabbiCroc (in an apparent act of self-sabotage), who attempted to pin it on Titan.<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Shakira|sender=Kira|url=https://discord.com/channels/912074050086502470/979246794783457312/1012205428228231260|text=[!] [Skruntoo] rabbi, c'mon... we have screens of you placing the obby|date=August 25, 2022|access-date=August 26, 2022|channel=global-chat|server=CivMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Shakira|sender=Kira|url=https://discord.com/channels/912074050086502470/979246794783457312/1012202653071187969|text=[!] [RabbiCroc] Titan obby bombing buildtowns?|date=August 25, 2022|access-date=August 26, 2022|channel=global-chat|server=CivMC}}</ref> Blockchainistan disputes this, as Skruntoo only came after the fighting along with Zackattack (as shown in their snitches according to them).

Titan Industries claimed that they had received intelligence that Rhode Island had continued to produce XP even though their farms had been disabled. They cited the fact that Rhode Island had intervened when [[Moloka]] refused a Blockhainistani iceroad to pass through their lands, and the fact that Blockchainistan was "loosely aligned with RI/USA" to justify the action. [[JuniorTide]], the author of the post, noted that, immediately after the start of the operation, Rhode Island fighters were seen hitting snitches east of Moloka, suggesting that Blockchainistan alerted Rhode Island as soon as it was attacked. Blockchainistani officials subsequently released a statement denouncing Titan's actions, denying any involvement in the war, and arguing for the innocence of their members that were pearled.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wx5nvj/builders_attacked_and_obby_bombed_by_titan/</ref> Blockchainistan repeatedly asked for any evidence that its citizens have participated in any wrong doing that would justify a full on attack and attempted total destruction of their nation and people, but Titan has refused to show any, which Blockchainistan sees as hypocritical and outrageous. They have stated that RI members only showed up after Blockchainistan had pleaded for help and RI was the only one to answer the call, Croc had mentioned that if Estalia had come they would have welcomed the help.

 

The following day, Skruntoo returned to Blockchainistan, reported significantly more obsidian placed in the streets of Blockchainistan than the night before describing the fortifications Blockchainistan had made in preparation of more attack after Icenians and Molokans joined Titan forces,<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Shakira|sender=Kira|url=https://discord.com/channels/912074050086502470/979246794783457312/1012353416162463785|text=[!] [Skruntoo] i will say there's a lot more obby in the streets of blockchainistan since last night and it's been made a lot uglier|date=August 25, 2022|access-date=August 26, 2022|channel=global-chat|server=CivMC}}</ref> was killed and randomspawned by FYCKLOVE,<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Shakira|sender=Kira|url=https://discord.com/channels/912074050086502470/979246794783457312/1012358003007164506|text=[!] [Skruntoo] titan's squatting in blockchainistan, obbying up the place, cutting down noncoms|date=August 25, 2022|access-date=August 26, 2022|channel=global-chat|server=CivMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Shakira|sender=Kira|url=https://discord.com/channels/912074050086502470/979246794783457312/1012352508368261210|text=[!] [lilpeeppee] skruntoo received 8 warnings and wasnt pearled, just random spawned|date=August 25, 2022|access-date=August 26, 2022|channel=global-chat|server=CivMC}}</ref> and was ultimately subsequently pearled by Gwua (a leader of Titan).<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Shakira|sender=Kira|url=https://discord.com/channels/912074050086502470/979246794783457312/1012377632861606028|text=[!] [Skruntoo] Gwua on the scene, down i go again... oh!
