* [[Rhode Island]] dissolved

In the statement presented at the start of the conflict, Estalia would claim that the Estalian forces had no serious intention of pearling Bob_the_BuiIder. While Rhode Island would claim that Bob_the_BuiIder's chasing by Estalia was a purposeful breaking of the Non-Agression Pact, and that Ez2Clutch had sought to provoke and bait Rhode Island into starting the fight.

 

 

 

====Initial Confrontations====

===Thomas' Leadership===

 

On the 11th, [[GeneralThomas4]] announced on reddit in an open letter that, after a month of absence, they have re-assumed leadership of Rhode Island.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wldbqu/dad_is_home_from_getting_cigarettes/</ref> Citing concern over obby bombing, which was described as "fundamentally against [Rhode Island's] ethos", and the "undiplomatic nature" of the "zoomers", mentioning players [[Adderral]] and [[Vanax35|Vanax]], they had re-taken control of Rhode Island thanks to their primary ownership of reinforcement group. They expressed the intention to begin to transfer control of the various Rhodesian groups to The Enclave, while being unffiliated with them themselves. Concerned with the future of Rhode Island and wanting their players to continue playing, GeneralThomas4 stated that they will not surrender to Estalia, and proposed conditions to all parties involved in the war.

 

===Danirague's Leadership===

 

On the 17th of August, [[Danirague]] announced on Reddit that Rhode Island was rebranding to the USA “due to internal leadership changes”.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wqb7mu/rhode_island_is_rebranding_to_usa/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wqb7mu/rhode_island_is_rebranding_to_usa/?]</ref> However, the new USA is still widely referd to as Rhode Island.

 

The attack would lead to the formation of the [[Red Cross]] in [[the Commonwealth]], who provided humanitarian aid to Icenian refugees after the sack.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wtz2y7/the_red_cross_has_been_formed_in_the_commonwealth/</ref>

 

''WIP - Moloka, Icenia join; citizens across the world lend their aid''

 

[[ChrisChrispie]], although previously stating [[Icenia]] would remain neutral even after the city was sacked<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wso7dw/new_server_new_me/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wtgklh/the_lambat_post_now_in_broadsheet_format_pavia/</ref>, stated in response "The only solution to save the server is a mass coalition to bring them to their knees"<ref name="annoyingeditingcivwiki"></ref>, seemingly implying Icenia would fight under the coalition.

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).

Around August 26th, a day after the battle of [[Blockchainistan]], a joint force of Rhodesian and Blockchainistani fighters, in what was known as OPERATION TITANIC, attacked a [[Titan Industries|Titan]] military bunker<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wy56v9/titan_takes_huge_l_against_buildfriends/</ref>and disabled it.<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Saren Solaris|sender=Saren_Solaris|url=https://discord.com/channels/912074050086502470/960952809447100416/1012640153250054145|text=Titan skybunker is officially over from my assessment|date=August 26, 2022|access-date=August 26, 2022|channel=general|server=CivMC}}</ref> During the battle, Titan fighters outnumbered Blockchainistan more than 2:1<ref name=":3">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/x1plxo/update_on_the_titan_vs_buildfriend_war/</ref> but stayed in their vault for the duration of the fight. During the war, [[JuniorTide]] had stated that Estalia gave them advice in voice-chat and kited pearls, but would not send fighters to help. During the few skirmishes, Titan fighter Geoponic was pearled, and Titan was able to kite their pearls to [[Estalia]]. Many Titanites, Molokans and Icenians logged off in their vault which was subsequently disabled by Blockchainistani forces overnight. As a result of the breaking of the bunker JuniorTide, among other Titanites, have quit the server.

 

Blockchainistan has continued alleging that they are not a co-belligerent in the greater war and that they are solely at war with Titan.<ref name=":3" /> They have repeatedly asked Titan to provide proof regarding the allegation that Blockchainistan has provided XP to Rhode Island, which it has not yet done.

 

 

On September 17th a mass banwave <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/xgskza/clean_sweep/</ref> orchestrated by CivMC administration took place including the entirety of Rhode Island. Ez2Clutch, a Rhode Islander, was not included the original banwave but proceeded to get banned a few hours later.

==Press Coverage==

Since its beginning, the war has been one of the most well-reported in Civcraft history, with coverage provided by a plethora of international news organizations such as the [[the Daily Nut]], [[the Lambat Post]] and the [[Pavian Tribune]].
