Sack of Crab Season (event)

The Sack of Crab Season is an event that occurred on the morning of August 18th. The town of Crab Season, having just sacked Kamakura and Vierina in the past few days, had made several enemies on the server. Early in the morning, resident Beesandthankyou was online with no one else from Crab Season. Player CoomBean, Butcherofkurds, and others from Vierina and its allies flagged the island of Crab Season and looted it. The plundered maps of Kamakura and Vieirina, as well the loot in the base's hidden store room (such as the full Netherite armor from Kamakura), were all taken. Beesandthankyou didn't notice the flagging or the attack as it was happening, so the raid was uncontested. 
This event is notable in the crab wars for being the first time Crab Season took a loss, and for the fact that once Vierina claimed the Crab Season base, it was not handed back to the original owners. This was the first time for this to occur.
An interview with CoomBeans:
"I wake up to find the town entirely looted, not an ingot, not even a coal. Absolutely nothing.
Naturally i question who did this and we find out that Schlank and Jimbo raided our town
The reason is appearantly one of our citizens, JamOnFrenchToast, calling Chlack a "dumb dumb doo doo head"
Naturally this all feels like a flimsy casus belli so i get mad
Start chatting with others on the server
Soon we find out that the Shogunate was also rinsed, but not to our extent. They quickly rebuilt
We start organizing an assault for 3-4 days later, whilst preparing for an immediate counterattack should one of the log on
Attacking when only 1 man was online is kind of a low move but that's what they saw fit for us, so we didn't debate the ethics of it
We spend the entire morning mining netherite, purchasing enchants and gearing up
We get potions from one of our allies and diamonds from the other
We also scout their settlement with my bud and sethome in some wildlands nearby
At this point we really didn't know how towny mechanics work and tried to pillage instantly
Turns out you have to capture plots by placing oak fences, so alright we prepared some
But we couldn't capture them as there was no one of their faction online
So we waited in ambush to catch them off guard and thankfully one of them, a guy whose name starts with "bee" logged on
We immediately gathered the squad, 6-7 men both from Vierina and our allies and rinsed the place with a blitzkrieg
It didn't occur on beesandthankyou until it was too late, we had claimed the majority of their base
Bee stayed on for at least 10-15 mins i think
After which he logged out
When he logged out some other players warned us that we should cease our looting, we argued for 2-3 minutes but we eventially stopped looting as many though it to be unfair
Even though technically the plots were our right as we had claimed them when their member was online
Nevertheless We gather all their loot and scatter them across hidden chests
we don't mix it with out other items seeing as returns may be necessary to reach peace
1-1,5 hour after the event Schlank logs in
Sees the damage and decides to put our town to the torch
Makes lava flow from one of the neighbouring wildland mountains and burns several buildings down
Firespread does not work because the buildings are covered in lava, they are instantly disintegrate
I understand that this is an act of goading, so decide not to destroy their base
He says something along the lines of "we wanted to drag you down to our standard of evil"
I don't bite, and show mercy
From then on nothing major really happened just back and forth discussions and some tension with a minor faction"
