==== The Trial of Lowtuff v. Grundeswald ====
==== The Trial of Lowtuff v. Grundeswald ====
On June 10th, while out exploring, Danzilona citizen [[Lowtuff]] entered the Grundeswegian capital of New Salisbury. Lowtuff was curious about the bits of the city the Grundeswegians had built into a mountain, and when they were unable to enter, Lowtuff broke 6 unreinforced stone blocks to gain access to the area. Although Lowtuff replaced the blocks to cover their tracks, snitch logs had caught them red handed. The Grundeswegians demanded that Lowtuff make a public post apologising for breaking and entering their restricted area to which Lowtuff refused and instead made a post expressing no regret.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/raptorrev/comments/27sl2d/dear_grundeswald/</ref> In reponse, a bounty was spurred by the Grundeswegians for Lowtuff's capture, and Lowtuff handed themself in later that day.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/27srlv/wanted_lowtuffs_pearl_for_10d_by_greenkitten/</ref> A trial was held in the morning of June 11th, and Lowtuff was sentenced to a day in the end and 5 diamonds in reparations to the Grundeswegians.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Grundeswald/comments/27wag1/the_trial_of_lowtuff_v_grundeswald/</ref>Although Lowtuff themself and some Danzilonans accepted the sentence and took responsibility, other Danzilonans, like [[TheTrackball]], believed no ground at all should be ceded to their ideological counterparts who had showed them no mercy in the April metro map controversy.

After the creation of the [[New Danzilona Hockey League]] and the success of its ongoing first season throughout May and June 2014, Grundeswald wanted to get in on the action and submitted an application for their own team to join the league in mid-June. However, due to the previous hostility between Grundeswald and NDZ and the name of the team they applied with (the "Grundeswald Neo-Nancies), Danzilonan citizen and NDZHL commissioner RoarkLeSkif believed the Grundeswegians would not take the game serious and was worried they would sully the reputation of the league. After their application was rejected, Grundeswald began prodding NDZ with propaganda, creating the satirical narrative that "ice cartels" were running the city and repeatedly called Danzilonans "cockroaches".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/28cnxt/muh_megaregions/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/283sqa/fight_the_good_fight_against_the_oppressive/</ref> In response, Roark made a public post transparently outlining his reasons for the rejection.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/28nb17/an_open_letter_to_grundeswald_from_the_creator/</ref>

Admittedly wanting to use the situation to "stir shit," the Grundeswegians headed to NDZ on June 20th. Their arrival in the wake of Roark's post made some Danzilonans wary, and so the Grundeswegians invited them to NDZ's fountain area to apologise for such feelings, an event they'd dubbed the Grundespology. When the Grundeswegians who were wearing prot were asked to remove it, they ignored the demands and began to throw eggs everywhere. The Danzilonans fired snowballs back at the Grundeswegians, for which the Grundeswegians pearled three of the Danzilonans, including Roark himself. In reponse to the killings, the [[Danzilonan Security Force]] pearled all of the Grundeswegians present and freed the imprisoned Danzilonans, bringing the Grundespology to an end. With about half of all Grundeswegians now pearled, the Danzilonans set up an inpromptu court of justice to clarify the situation, get input from both sides, and dole out sentences.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/DanzilonanCourt/comments/28qnyh/new_danzilona_v_greenkitten_killer_chris_and/</ref> On June 24, a verdict was released, giving the Grundeswegians various sentences of days in the end, compensation, and indefinite bans from entering New Danzilona.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/DanzilonanCourt/comments/28xvo5/verdict_new_danzilona_v_greenkitten_killer_chris/</ref>While in the end, the Grundeswegians protested for their release, but their sentences were ultimately stuck to.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/28odw1/chris_here_from_the_end_season_2_trailer/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/292eyb/help/</ref> On June 26th, the last of the pearled Grundeswegians were freed and banished from NDZ, and the attentions of both nations turned elsewhere for the time being.
