On December 21st, while checking up on the Phylon end of the rail Lokilog discovered a snitch had been placed. Upon breaking it, he saw that the snitch had been placed by Olivay, reinforced to to a Tel Aviv group. Crusher6581, Deputy FAR at the time, contacted Olivay about the snitch, who explained that Phylon was in fact active. He demanded that they not go to the island, under threat of pearling, and announced closed borders on the subreddit.

 

Lokilog and Crusher believed that Olivay's claims to Phylon were invalid. Most structures on the island had been broken into, and the whole place seemed abandoned. For Olivay to claim it, they reasoned, would be holding on to land he wasn't actually using. With the unofficial backing of Okashima, they were overconfident, so the FAR and his Deputy went to Phylon, as a way of asserting what they believed was their rightful control over the island in defiance of Olivay's announcement of closed borders. But this simple stroll around the island quickly turned into a raid, with the two of them breaking into buildings popping chests, and breaking snitches. But when they noticed Olivay online, they quickly returned to the surface and dropchested their valuables. In the end, the only items of value that were taken from the island were three health pots.

 

Mere minutes after returned to OC, Olivay and three others were spotted tripping snitches on the rail. Lokilog and Crusher fled, but Crusher was caught and pearled. Lokilog took refuge in the community center and logged out, where the attackers build a logbox to trap him inside.

 

By this point, Odresh alerted their friends in Okashima and Vinland, who began the journey to OC to free Lokilog and secure the town. However, because of the speed at which things were developing, the resulting panic, and the fact that Odresh was desperate for help, the full situation was not properly conveyed. This led the friendly forces to believe that Phylon had attacked unjustly, a miscommunication that would force tough questions after the face. After a few hits from both sides, Olivay's force dispersed while Lokilog was freed from the logbox. He then fled by water to the GOR, and took refuge in NYC.

 

Soon after the raid, the old community center, now inside a logbox, was torn down, and the logbox itself was turned into a memorial, a reminder of what happens when one is careless and foolish. This memorial still stands today, next to the new, much better built community center. Since almost immediately after Phylon's retaliatory strike, Lokilog and Crusher have expressed deep regret. Lokilog considers it to be the worst mistake of his civ career, and included an apology in his quitting post in January (although he returned within a few months).

However, with the wound growing old after over a year of silence from both sides, Odresh approched Olivay in January 2020, asking for permission to use Phylon's farms with the promise that they would make no modifications or take anything, other than what they collect from the farms other than farms themselves. Much to their surprise, Olivay agreed, allowing them access for two months. However, Odresh has yet to make use of this, due to their attention being focused on the ongoing war against NATO.
