==Course of the War==
=== First Strike ===
On 8th December 2023, on the anniversary of the insiding of the Crucible on CivClassic and also a day after the anniversary of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_Japan Japanese] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor attack on Pearl Harbor], Icenia and Yoahtl launched an surprise attack on Black Mesa, Gang Shi's main pearl holding vault. A Reddit post was made, claiming that Icenian and Yoahtl fighters had disabled and Ctr'ed most of the vault with the help of an unnamed insider.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18dkxm7/pearled_harbor/</ref>
=== Attack on Florence ===
On the morning of December 9th, Icenian fighters began a skybridge over the Florence bunker located south of Wholefoods, believing it was a staging ground for an attack against the farming complex. A watercubing operation was briefly interrupted by the arrival of XxTBxX3276, UghBraces, loo_wee_gee, and 7Joshhh, but ultimately continued and was later augmented by a bombing operation on the 10th, firmly disabling Florence from being used.
Line 118:
Fighting continued throughout the night, but the main assault was repulsed by 4am. Further engagements occurred throughout the day near the city and on the Skybridge, and by 3:45pm, Gang Shi had lost 10 pearls without any defender casualties.
== Reactions ==
On the 8th December, a poll was created on Reddit asking which side they supported in the war. As of December 10th, 2023, 51% of voters supported the Icenian Coalition, 27% Gang Shi and allies, and 23% were neutral.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/s/EK7wMAC7tY</ref>
