The '''Finite War''', also known as the '''Arnen-Temporal Isles War''', was a war on [[CivMC]] fought by the nation of Arnen (formerly supported by its ally Gang Shi) against Temporal Isles and its ally Valyria. It originated from hostilities between Arnen and Temporal Isles which faced a major escalation when Arnen came to the Temporal Isles and attempted to pearl Blu9710, the Chancellor of the Temporal Isles, over an offhand joke in a public channel.. It started on November 26th 2022, with an official declaration of war from Arnen and faced a climax with the destruction of the Temporal Isles vault and its complementary skybunker by Arnen and Gang Shi forces.
 
==Prelude==
After Temporal Isles peacefully seceded from Icenia, there was many rumblings internationally over what had happened. Some felt that [[PhysicsGamer]] should have been charged for his actions during the [[Generic War]], including changing the groups of an icenian nether portal bunker to Rhode Island's groups. Verbal jabs were exchanged, and several incidents occurred that were of little note. During this time period, [[Valyria]] and Temporal Isles began to work together closely to build up infrastructure from perceived Icenian threats. Things finally reached a boiling point after Temporal Isles citizens began throwing eggs into the Icenian trench being built at the border to spawn mass amounts of chickens which tanked player FPS. Several Icenians expressed discontent and griefed [[Temporal Isles]]' small skybunker in response and a Gang Shi fighter known as [[Dark_Muffin]] also entered the territory, attacking PhysicsGamer, leading to a protracted fight between Dark_Muffin and a steadily increasing number of Temporal and Valyrian fighters. At this point, many were spectating the incident, and DockerImage built a deepslate skybridge towards Temporal Isles' bunker. On the skybridge, PhysicsGamer was able to pearl Tolype_Velleda, who had been firing upon Temporal fighters from the bridge. Temporal and Icenian leadership felt the tensions were getting too intense, and PhysicsGamer came to an agreement with [[ChrisChrispie]] in private for a mutual ban of Temporals and Icenians from one anothers' territory, with the intent to lift the ban when tensions cooled off. Due to this as well as another incident involving Yoahtl, Icenia stripped [[Gamer_Time69]] of his citizenship in Icenia. [[Gamer_Time69]] would later join Gang Shi due to the former connection with [[Titan Industries]], later leading to Gang Shi involvement in the war. TheGang SEC was still displeased with Kallos' role in the incident, and the decision was made to pearlShitters: [[DockerImageCh1pR]] and hold[[Gamer himTime69]] forwould alater week for skybriding theenter Temporal Isles' skybunker.and DockerImage was upset by the SEC's actionsIcenia and thus decided to form his own nation free of SEC andmenace APthem oversightmore namedfurthering ArnenTensions.

==ChosenTwice Incident==
On November 23rd, 2022, Arnen fighters came to attempt to pearl Blu9710 over a joke made in a public channel. This attempt failed as Blu was not present at the time. A number of players were then brought into Temporal Isles for protection, who would later make an attempt on Arnen of their own accord. On November 25th, chosentwicelol and several other Estalian associates were caught on snitches in Arnen. Chosen was wanted in Icenia for killing a naked Bloomean a few months prior, and burning nearly 400d worth of wealth, and although reparations had been paid for said actions, the Icenian government still wanted his pearl, as he had not faced trial in the Icenian courts. There were also longstanding grudges dating back to [[CivClassics]] where many Icenians felt that Chosen hadn't received proper punishment for his crimes in Icenia. On CivClassics, Chosen had been given Icenian militia roles due to his longstanding affiliation with [[Mir]] when Icenia was being raided by Ez2Clutch, and instead of helping catch the raiders, he joined their crew. This event was known as March Madness and a video of this conflict can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgmAsxAxAu4&t=302s here].
 
As a result of Chosen being involved with the raiding in Arnen, Icenia and the SEC formed a temporary coalition with [[Gang Shi]] and [[Arnen]] and sent a pvp force to intercept the raiders. A brief teamfight (seen [https://youtu.be/1PIHILmxnUQ here]) ensued with Icenians opting to retreat to their nearby defensive infrastructure. At this point, Chosen and the remaining rogue Estalians kited to [[Temporal Isles]], where it was discovered by onlookers that they had group access to the skybunker, which at this point had been upgraded into a small vault, and logged off for the night. This infuriated Icenia, as PhysicsGamer had previously been an Icenian senator who should've been aware of previous gripes with ChosenTwice. Conversations between the SEC and Temporal Isles ensued, with Icenia expressing its frustration at a POS player being given safe haven in Temporal Isles. The SEC was legally bound by its charter to pursue de-escalationism before declaring open war, and thus an agreement was struck that if ChosenTwice was removed from groups and told not to participate, Icenia would remain neutral in any further conflict that Gang Shi and Arnen would choose to pursue. This included removing Gang Shi and Arnen fighters from their groups and strictly policing the border they shared with Temporal Isles for any violations. Icenia also rapidly mobilized its pvp force and expedited construction of existing massive fortifications on the border of Temporal Isles due to the high density of farms related to XP production in that region.
 
==Conflict and Refugee Status==
After the extreme tensions of the night before, both Arnen and Temporal Isles released statements with their side of the story relating to the conflict. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/z4fri3/the_temporal_isles_official_statement/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/z45txv/a_denouncement_and_declaration_against_temporal/</ref> Arnen described in their post the rogue Estalians who had broken into their bunker and demanded reps for the actions taken by these players. In Temporal Isles' post, they described that Chosen and the rogue Estalians had been hired as Arnen had come to attempt to pearl Blu9710, their Chancellor at the time, and had placed a unreinforced obsidian in the future site of their capitol building the night before, and Temporal Isles was seeking protection as a result of these actions, and leaked screenshots of Gang Shi having planned an attack with Arnen days before. Due to Arnen and Gang Shi's defensive agreement, Gang Shi also declared war on Temporal Isles after Arnen did when Gwua brought pumpkin pie as a gesture of peace on thanksgiving and was instead jumped by two Temporal Isles pvpers. Gang Shi pvpers flooded into the region, immediately dominating proceedings by pearling DefectedHeart, a Valyrian pvper who had come to assist his allies in Temporal Isles. At this point, the rogue Estalians minus Chosen returned to temporal isles to help with fighting, and several other Estalians who had been kicked out a few weeks prior for raiding also joined. The conflict seemed to be reaching a boiling point.
 
When things seemed to be heating up for a prolonged siege of Temporal Isles' skybunker, which at this point had developed into a 2 ring vault with sky defenses, one of the rogue Estalians Tommy789 betrayed Temporal Isles and pearled two of their pvpers. At this point, Temporal Isles and Valyria, having been exhausted by the near-constant harassment by Gang Shi and Arnen fighters, failed to login to defend their vault as Gang Shi and Arnen forces rolled in and broke vault bastions and began disabling the vault. The attackers managed to destroy the vault on the same day, with Arnen forces coming back the next day and disabling all the remaining defensive infrastructure in Temporal Isles.

This reparation deal, however, was later rejected after demands were made for primary owner on the group on which the vault was built, and became unnecessary when Gang Shi later left the war and released the pearls.
 
Following this, the remaining Temporals including PhysicsGamer, the leader of Temporal Isles, and Valyrians fled to [[Pavia]], where they were taken in as refugees and given Pavian citizenship. Pavian leader [[BritishWanderer]] made statements a number of times in global chat directed at Gang Shi that any attack on Pavian citizens, referring to the refugees, would invoke the [[Elysian Pact]]. Despite these statements, however, a number of Gang Shi combatants came to Pavia's vault multiple times, seeing PhysicsGamer on radar inside the vault, and lingering for a time in each instance.
Line 86 ⟶ 90:
With the situation having been stagnant for a month at this point, and the leader of the Temporal Isles held by an officially non-participatory party in Icenia, and later [[Arsenio Pact]], the war officially concluded on December 11th, 2022 and a ceasefire between Temporal Isles and Arnen was called. After PhysicsGamer's release in an agreement which did not involve Arnen, dredd_kiji and ErrorL chased PhysicsGamer, attacking and killing him in Pavia. Following diplomatic pressure by Icenia and others, the pearl was released, but a war declaration by Pavia, Imperial Federation, the remainder of the [[Elysian Pact]], Temporal Isles, and Valyria spelled the destruction of Arnen in the [[Four Hour War]]. Kallos annexed Arnen's territories after dredd and Docker were pearled the next day, and dredd_kiji and DockerImage were sentenced to 2 months pearl time and reparations for damages both to PhysicsGamer during the initial killing in Pavia and to other parties involved.
