== Civcraft 2.0 ==
When [[Civcraft 2.0]] began, some individuals pondered whether or not the World Police from 1.0 should still be held accountable and tried for their actions on the previous server.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1ddbwu/we_should_carry_across_the_gimmick_brigades/</ref>Though many people would carry over their grudges toward the WP into the new server, the idea of pearling them for crimes on a server that no longer existed was generally received as facetious and largely dismissed by the community as a whole.
=== Carson and the New World Police ===
On July 1, 2013, the federalist-syndicalist city of [[Carson (Civcraft)|Carson]] was announced to the public.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1hg5eq/carson_looking_for_a_few_more_sla_workers_yea/</ref>Carson was founded by WP 1.0 ally blueavenue and residents also included many former WP, including TeaJizzle and MrsEmery. Though it was not founded for the express purpose of recreating the WP, many Carsonites would ultimately take up the World Police role yet again to fight the new iteration of the HCF known as Bloodcrew, named after its leader bloodidiot that began raiding in late 2013.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1qsw6z/bloodcrew_in_orion_again/</ref>From this point on, Carson would be invaribly linked to the World Police for the rest of 2.0. Simultaneously with the raiding of Bloodcrew was the raiding done by what was dubbed the Poser Brigade.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1lt5e5/konartist_tynftw_and_turbocactus_008shock_are_in/</ref>Made up of some former WP 1.0 members that didn't join Carson like
==== The Ruse Cruise ====
In November 2013, a friendly, internal dispute among Carsonites took place regarding a brick storage building built within the city. Many residents wanted to demolish the building as it didn't fit the aesthetic that Carson came to have, while others wanted to keep it for historical value and practical use. Both sides soon came to an agreement when they thought of an even better use for the brick building: as a trap. On November 17th, Carsonite WP member _sword made a post claiming to be revealing the location of all of Carson's hidden wealth following an alleged falling-out with his friends.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1qus8p/psa_location_of_all_of_carsons_wealth/</ref>The supposed location of Carson's wealth was, of course, the brick building. Many Bloodcrew members and anti-WP forces, some on previously unknown alts, converged on Carson and tore apart the brick building looking for the chests, allowing the WP to gather info as they tripped their snitches. With an egg on their face and little if any stolen wealth to take home, it was revealed Bloodcrew had fallen for it: The Ruse Cruise.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1qt6rv/to_everyone_breaking_things_in_carson/</ref>
=== The Rise and Fall of the LADS ===

The World Police claimed to have found themselves in a new, impossible position: people wanted them to fight Bloodcrew and the Poser Brigade and live up to their World Police role while also simultaneously lumping them in with the former two and
What would become known as the LADS War formally began on February 3, 2014 when the LADS raided Whosnick island in an attempt to pearl Joshua97367.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1wyiqp/lads_declare_war_on_josh_and_friends/</ref> The head of a reformed raider group, Josh attempted to pearl shadowjay for crimes committed under the Poser Brigade, but was thwarted when shadowjay ran to Duck City for safety.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1wxyym/shadowjay_seeking_safe_haven_in_duck_city/</ref>The rest of the LADS then attempted to pearl Josh and resulted in the invasion of his home base. Taking up the defence of shadowjay as their hill to die on, the LADS would go to war with and invade numerous cities around the server, including Commonwealth, Orion, and FAGT, all of who attempted to pearl shadowjay.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1y3gq9/lads_formally_declare_war_on_fagt/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1y787l/lads_attack_2/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2ke51g/once_again_the_lads_are_destroying_everything_ive/</ref>Subsequently, similar to what happened at the end of 1.0, a new coalition of city militias teamed up with the newly-free HCF members to take down the LADS, who were shedding members like blueavenue and MrsEmery.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1vq35s/formallypublicly_announcing_my_disassociation/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1wtq1r/my_pov_on_the_recent_goings_on/</ref>
▲The World Police claimed to have found themselves in a new, impossible position: people wanted them to fight Bloodcrew and the Poser Brigade and live up to their World Police role while also simultaneously lumping them in with the former two and dispising their presence outside of Carson. In order to remedy this, on January 1, 2014, the World Police announced their official disbanding and reformation into a new organisation, the Legal Authorised Defence Service, or LADS.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1u715v/world_police_disband_more_information_inside/</ref>The LADS would function largely the same as the World Police, but with a couple differences. They settled in a new headquarters, an island town called Duck City, and also committed to not intervening in the policing affairs of any city unless given express permission. This move also resulted in them emptying their former vault, resulting in many Bloodcrew and HCF members being free yet again. The next day, shadowjay of the Poser Brigade also released a number of griefers and HCF from his vault.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1u634i/i_give_up/</ref>
On March 9th, ReCharge, made up of many of the HCF who were released and who claimed to have been reformed, invaded Duck City and pearled a number of the LADS and Poser Brigade.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1zzk1v/riversend_recharge_zerorussia_betray_as_expected/</ref>Worn down by the fighting with an entire server against them, the LADS saw the writing on the wall and surrendered, announcing their dissolution and releasing the rest of the Recharge members.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/200z3f/lads_statement_or_how_i_learned_to_stop_worrying/</ref>
