Line 1:
The Mount September Ice Road conflict iswas ana ongoingbrief dispute between [[NebulaSSR]]/[[minemaster933]] and [[SirTwiggles]]/[[Icyski]], which is notable for having involved both groups' home alliances - the [[Augustan Federation]] and [[UDF]].
 
== Background ==
Line 6:
This iceroad, dubbed the Boomer Iceroad, would be built under [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic)|land]] that would eventually become [[Mount September]]. This would result in the UDF being requested to move the iceroad to facilitate the construction of Mount September's vault - a request to which they acquiesced.
 
Outside of the ice-roadiceroad, there were other factors which caused a rise in tensions between [[Mount September]] and the [[UDF]].
 
*[[minemaster933]] had previously committed petty crimes within [[Icenia]] dating back to the period in which he lived there, including several break-ins into houses within the city (which eventually led to his being kicked out of the nation); [[minemaster933]]'s reputation in [[Icenia]] was also damaged (albeit uncontrollably) by the falsified claims of [[Kayla]] of [[Eddie Murphy]] that he had stolen diamond blocks from the [[Eddie Murphy]] vault.
* The [[UDF]], widely considered part of [[World Police (CivClassic)|World Police]], has been the target of disdain from [[minemaster933]].
* [[Icenia]] has had in place an unofficial program of sending "undesirable newfriends" (players receiving light sentences for petty raiding, building obscene structures, or generally not fitting within the schematic of [[Icenia]]) to [[Mount September]]. This has led, within the [[UDF]], to [[Mount September]] receiving a reputation as a nation of trolls - some of which, in their eyes, are held in high regard within [[Mount September]]'s politics such as [[minemaster933]], [[SamBonusG]], and others.
*An alt of [[Godomasta]] was wrongly pearled by [[Imperial Truidence]] forces. This ultimately led to his freeing after the blockbuster documentary [insert video link] on the incident was released.
 
== Dispute ==
Line 17:
 
On August 25th, Judge [[AllenY]] sided with [[minemaster933]], ordering [[SirTwiggles]] to pay 16 diamonds' reparations to [[minemaster933]]. [[SirTwiggles]] refused to comply - when [[minemaster933]] said that "you better pay", [[SirTwiggles]] replied, "make me". The resulting Septembrian pearl threat to [[SirTwiggles]] was then interpreted as "members of the UDF...being prevented from using [their] own ice road essentially", dragging the [[UDF]] into the dispute. <br>
On August 26th, [[bgbba]] posted [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/pccma8/get_off_my_lawn_zoomer_an_explanation_of/ an essay titled "Get Off My Lawn Zoomer: An Explanation of Yesterday's Incident by the Owner of the Iceroad in Question"] to [https://reddit.com/r/civclassics%7Cr/civclassics r/civclassics]. In this 1700-word treatisepost, [[bgbba]] thoroughly condemned "ungrateful vermin willing to engage in that most degenerate of behaviors: escalationism" presenting an extensive "Sequence of Events" focusing mainly on the Boomer Iceroad rather than [[NebulaSSR]]'s bunker. Expressing dismay over "illegal iceroad entrances and snitches...made on our iceroad" (an issue mentioned (as [[NebulaSSR]]'s bunker was connected to the iceroad illegally), but not focused on, in [[SirTwiggles]]'s trial) and alarm over a shovel attack on [[Icyski]] by [[NebulaSSR]] on the iceroad adjacent to the bunker (which postdated the inciting trial), and stating that the @everyone snitches in question had fields overlapping the iceroad (making their violators innocent of deliberate harassment), [[bgbba]] leveraged the Boomer Iceroad predating [[Mount September]] to argue that the latter had no business enforcing itself over the former (which, as [[bgbba]] was quick to point out, it already successfully had once before for its vault); [[bgbba]] compared [[KingOfTheMochas]]'s argument that the age of [[Mount September]] was "irrelevant" to the [[Holy Jaded Empire]]'s casus belli against [[SPQR]] (use of a rail which predated the former's claims), generalizing that "[[KingOfTheMochas]] and his supporters are now directly saying that [[NATO]] was right", and used this to justify the conclusion of his treatise: the declaration that "Nebula/Nebulandd/ShockandAwe, KingOfTheMochas, and Minemaster are banned from entering the Boomer iceroad indefinitely". <br>
[[bgbba]]'s declaration was met with a divided response - a 65:35 upvote-to-downvote ratio, and several comments to the effect of [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/pccma8/get_off_my_lawn_zoomer_an_explanation_of/hai1srk?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 "My dude you really need to dial down that ego of yours"]. [[Mount September]] especially was incensed, and [[squareblob]] posted [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/pcend1/some_short_clarifications_to_bgs_post/ "Some short clarifications to Bg's post"], most importantly that [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/614147625809346581/880633084561727498/2021-08-27-035814_603x307_scrot.png "the @everyone snitch in question is clearly outside the ice road"]. With the [[Augustan Federation]] and [[UDF]] now both thoroughly enmeshed in the dispute, and the rest of the world watching, both sides dug their heels in.
