Finite War: Difference between revisions

On November 25th, chosentwicelol and several other Estalian associates were caught on snitches in Arnen, a new spinoff state from Kallos due to discontent with how the [[SEC]] had managed the Temporal Isles conflict. Chosen was wanted in Icenia for killing a naked bloomean a few months prior, and burning nearly 400d worth of wealth. There was also longstanding grudges dating back to [[CivClassics]] where many Icenians felt that Chosen hadn't received proper punishment for his crimes in Icenia. On CivClassics, Chosen had been given Icenian militia roles due to his longstanding affiliation with [[Mir]] when Icenia was being raided by Ez2Clutch, and instead of helping catch the raiders he joined their crew. This event was known as March Madness and a video of this conflict can be found here<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgmAsxAxAu4&t=302s</ref>.

As a result of Chosen being involved with the raiding in Arnen, Icenia and the SEC formed a temporary coalition with [[Gang Shi]] and [[Arnen]] and sent a pvp force to intercept the raiders. A brief teamfight ensued with Icenians opting to retreat to their nearby defensive infrastructure. At this point, Chosen and the remaining rogue Estalians kited to [[Temporal Isles]], were given vault groups, and logged off for the night. This infuriated Icenia as PhysicsGamer was a former senator and should've known of Icenia's gripes with Chosen. Conversations between the SEC and Temporal Isles ensued, with Icenia expressing its frustration at a POS player being given safe haven in Temporal Isles. The SEC was legally bound by its charter to pursue de-escalationism before declaring open war, and thus an agreement was struck that if ChosenTwice was removed from groups and told not to participate, Icenia would remain neutral in any further conflict that Gang Shi and Arnen would choose to pursue. This included removing fighters from their groups and strictly policing the border they shared with Temporal Isles for any violations. Icenia also rapidly mobilized its pvp force and began construction of massive fortifications on the border of Temporal Isles due to the high density of farms related to XP production in that region.

After the extreme tensions of the night before, both Arnen and Temporal Isles released statements with their side of the story relating to the conflict. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/z4fri3/the_temporal_isles_official_statement/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/z45txv/a_denouncement_and_declaration_against_temporal/</ref> Arnen described in their post the rogue Estalians who had broken into their bunker and demanded reps for the actions taken by these players. In Temporal Isles' post, they described that Chosen and the rogue Estalians had been hired as Arnen had placed a few pieces of unreinforced obsidian in their land a few days prior, and Temporal Isles was seeking retribution for these actions. Due to Arnen and Gang Shi's defensive agreement, Gang Shi also declared war on Temporal Isles simultaneously withafter Arnen. Their had been underlying tensions between Gang Shi and Temporal Isles from previouslydid when [[Gwua]] had brought Pumpkinpumpkin pie on thanksgiving as a gesture of goodwillpeace betweenon the two nations after the darkmuffin incident described above,thanksgiving and was instead jumped by two Temporal Isles pvpers. Gang Shi pvpers flooded into the region, immediately dominating proceedings by pearling DefectedHeart, a valyrian pvper who had come to assist his allies in Temporal Isles. At this point, the rogue estalians minus Chosen returned to temporal isles to help with fighting, and several other Estalians who had been kicked out a few weeks prior for raiding also joined. The conflict seemed to be reaching a boiling point.
