FollowingIn the aftermath of the [[Butternut–SEC War]], the nation of [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]] was disbanded following the departure of many of its members from [[CivMC]]. This left the CDM/Doom portal in disputed territory, with [[Doom City]] seeking to negotiate continued access via a preexisting personal iceroad & entry. During negotiations however, [[Mount Augusta (CivMC)|Mount Augusta]] requested that the public entry to the portal be used, which was trapped with a foot-grinder.<ref name=":0">{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=ShadySauce|sender=ShadySauce|date=12/19/2023|url=https://discord.com/channels/912074050086502470/1107452910205419572/1186735697013514322|text=nick asked us to use the public enterance during peace talks, and it's a trapped foot grinder|channel=global-chat|server=CivMC|access-date=}}</ref> This resulted in a member of [[Doom City]] being killed.<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=ShadySauce|sender=ShadySauce|date=12/19/2023|url=https://discord.com/channels/912074050086502470/1107452910205419572/1186736354298691584|text=you even managed to kill one in a trap|channel=global-chat|server=CivMC|access-date=}}</ref>
