December Coup

The December Coup, also known as the Hi Coup, or the Liuan-Hi Banning Conflict, was an event where Hi124892 banned Liuan333 from the ATC on December 4, 2021. Hi was banned for a month due to this. Bstew was accidentally involved due to messed up accusations by Liuan.
== Etymology ==
On December 4, 2021 Liuan made a post about the whole event titled "The December Coup".https://alternate-territories.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000889276 After Liuan's post, the name 'December Coup' stuck, but was slightly controversial due to how exaggerated it is compared to what actually happened. Weeks after the fact, the name was still in debate, however it still is associated with the conflict. 
== Prelude ==
=== Demotion ===
In August, 2021 Hi was demoted from his spot as a powerful figure in the ATC due to inactivity and disrespectfulness. 
== History ==
=== Banning ===
Early on the morning of December 4, 2021 Hi, after being long inactive and being previously demoted, banned Liuan under mysterious circumstances for alleged "gibberrish" Liuan put on his own pages. Liuan had no knowledge of the bannings at first, being focused on YouTube. It is unclear what Hi's true motives for the banning were, but Hi explained to Liuan on discord that it was because Liuan was "underage".
=== Reactions ===
Over Discord, due to name colorings, Liuan accused Bstew of being responsible for the banning without realizing it was actually Hi. This caused Liuan to believe a split in the ATC Bureaucracy between pro-Liuanists and anti-Liuanists. Alpha made a post about the ban and jokingly made a statement about using the banning as the perfect time to start another political revolution. Patriot reacted by jokingly rejected Alpha's joke. Patriot, not looking at the block log, presumed that FANDOM had globally banned Liuan.
=== Conclusion ===
Freecoder, after discovering the truth, unbanned Liuan. Liuan learned that Hi was responsible and not Bstew. After this, Freecoder and Liuan banned Hi for a month. Hi proceeded to unban himself and called it "a troll".
== Aftermath ==
In the aftermath of the event, Hi was banned for a month. Hi's designated unban date in January 4, 2022. However Hi would later unban himself, resulting in the beginning of the December Conflict.
