=== Murder of Beni_Shapiro and Secession of Arcadia ===
Early on July 9th, a player with the username OliveTheCatOliveTheCat—not murderedto be confused with OlliveTehCat—murdered [[Beni_Shapiro]], a prominent member of Vasticus. OliveTheCat was pearled, and it was revealed that he was a friend of some of the Rodents from another Minecraft server; it was apparently a prank to cause his friends grief after he overheard them talking about [[CivRealms]] in a private Discord. His friends vouched for him and payed his reparations, whereupon he was freed and told that he was banned from Alexandria and the SPQR.
Shortly afterwards, the members OlliveTehCat and FlipsTheSlayer1 abruptly informed the other Rodents that they would be seceding as Arcadia, claiming a tower that they had built within [[Erimos]] using Rodentian resources. Furthermore, they informed the other Rodents that Arcadia had been admitted as a province of the SPQR in the course of just a few hours. Apparently, they had claimed to NovaCeasar that OliveTheCat was actually a Rodent, not a friend who had notnever played CivRealms before; in exchange for this apparent betrayal of their fellow countrypeoplecountry, NovaCeasar expedited their admission to the SPQR and assured protection of their building in Erimos, which had not authorized it.
