The Clone Wars

The Clone Wars were the final stage of the Nickname Wars.
They mostly consisted of trolls trying to stir up trouble by "stealing" an already existing MBer's name, although sometimes it was just a newbie who accidentially picked the same nickname as someone else. The majority of the Clone Wars took place during or shortly after the CatSpirit War. There were many, but notable nickname conflicts include the Seeker, Ruby, Flash, Scarlet, Sky, and Luna conflicts. The only conflict that stretched on for several weeks was the Tempest Conflict. 
The Clone Wars were most likely inspired by the CatSpirit War and continued for a few months after its end. Unlike the CSW, the trolls behind each account never gave their identity. Because of their proximity to each other, it is possible that the accounts were all made by one troll. This troll or the group of trolls may have been MBers from the SAMB or other forums who were aware of the CSW. However, as in the case of the CSW, troll accounts could have been made by the SAMBer themselves.
The Arrow War and the Firefly Incident were also nickname conflicts, although not an offical part of the Clone Wars.
