The '''Gensokyo Conspiracies''' were a series of interconnected conflicts characterized by aggression and conspiracy by members of the [[Alenarith]] nation [[Gensokyo]] against several other nations on [[CivMC]]. It was notable for including [[Nara|all three]] [[Gensokyo|Japanese-themed nations]] [[Western Boundary|on the map.]]

=== Western Boundary (xtasy) - Gensokyo (dyl) Incident ===

The leadership of Gensokyo put out a POS on [[Western Boundary]] senator [[xtasy]], due to two messages he sent to Gensokyojin player dyl, causing them to quit.

[[SinjoroJoCrafter]] of Western Boundary attempted diplomacy with the Gensokyo leadership, making the broad case that the two messages, one of which read "ur fat and ugly" and the other which read "you never learned to control your emotions", did not rise to the level of anything that could be considered harassment, and also that Dyl had a history of overreacting violently to trivial slights (read: the infamous Funko Pop Incident).

Topaz did not want to hear Jo's diplomatic arguments, however, insisting "I'm not [willing to budge on this issue]".

This lead to heightened tensions between the two Touhou-themed nations, and also to Gensokyo fighter [[Ferro]] sending a compilation of screenshots<ref>https://imgur.com/a/wAMbRk8</ref> including minor insults Jo made as well as [[Magnasoria war|refrences to conduct that got Ferro banned on CivClassic]]. Despite the protected speech and mild nature of the comments themselves, [[MrJoCrafter]] was banned from CivMC for two weeks.<blockquote>"Someone wasn't raised properly 😬"

=== Heightening Tensions between Gensokyo and Nara ===

[[Saren Solaris]], a Naran samurai, was searching for a bunker belonging to the notorious raider [[Vah]], who had raided all over the world, especially in [[Alenarith]]. He walked a few dozen blocks inside the borders of Gensokyo, which he had been told he was not allowed to do by Topaz. He was asked to leave by Topaz and began to do so, but almost immediately two Gensokyojin fighters, [[Asuramaru]] and [[Ferro]], descended upon Saren, giving chase. Saren ran for around 300 more blocks (within Naran territory) but eventually turned around to face the two fighters attempting to pearl him.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wv5jzh/two_gensokyo_menace_jumps_me_at_their_border_and/</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/nyiu7Sam1T0</ref>

Saren quickly turned the tables on his assailants, however, pearling both Gensokyojin fighters.

Dualing PR pushes were put out by both sides<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f8iR1SffVoYE-JuCT-6wje9A_d0SFH89UJ2iOpbZtLg/edit</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wyea10/interim_statement_on_dnagensokyo_relations/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wyq57v/my_attempt_at_diplomacy_has_failed_post_memes/</ref>, but public opinion overall seemed to lean towards DNA (Dalgon-Nara Alliance) and against Gensokyo.

Enraged by her and her allies' inability to pearl Saren, Asuramaru doxxed Saren_Solaris in a fit of rage,<ref>https://imgur.com/a/jtKkIAr</ref> sending him his exact place of employment in an in-game direct message with a subtle threat of violence. This caused widespread international condemnation of both Asuramaru and Gensokyo once the doxxing was revealed.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wyqb6n/sussiest_dm_ive_gotten_in_civ_to_date/</ref> Asuramaru was banned from CivMC, presumably permanently.

Bizarrely, [[Topaz4293]] stated, in a post declaring Gensokyo's "hiatus from civmc" that "the [CivMC] admins were not enforcing their rules fairly".

Lots of memes were made about the incidents, especially by Nara and Western Boundary.<gallery>
