Netherite War

== Onset ==
The war began with an incident of scamming. GreenTomato5 from Yanren struck a deal with Cyberminer1201 to buy 10 netherite ingots 30,000$, paying half of the price upfront. They were supposed to meet at the GrizzlyBear bar, but Cyberminer never showed up. GreenTomato5 accused the whole of Rextown of this and declared war on Rextopia.
== Battle of Yanren ==
TurtleKingCam (leader), Spaceman220, LudwigsSword, Vortex879, Cyberminer1201, and 6glizzy_guzzler9, gathered together and decided to make the first attack of the war. They crossed the ocean in three boats and traveled to Yanren. They praised Stimar, a player they consider their divine prophet. They climbed up the outer walls surrounding the lowlands of Yanren, where a pillar of lava and a cube of fire appeared. They took it as a sign from Stimar that their cause was righteous. They climbed up the staircase mines of Yanren to the village proper, where GreenTomato5 and InkyBinkyBonky were going about their business. They killed them a few times and stood on the glass dome covered void hole of Yanren. GreenTomato5 respawned in a building near there and was killed multiple times. They then descended back down the stairs just outside the claimed territory of Yanren and insulted GreenTomato5, stating that they would leave if GreenTomato5 surrendered to them or paid reparations of 15,000$ to each of the raiders. The admin StoneyStoner gave GreenTomato5 several potions then, as he kept jumping down to face them but was killed repeatedly. Eventually, GreenTomato5 killed one person with these potion effects, but was otherwise repeatedly killed. In an effort of resistance, InkyBinkyBonky stood on the mountains shooting down at the Rextopians.
At the turn of the battle, however, players BacktotheHub and Dex_Og appeared and started killing the Rextopians. One of them escaped and teleported home while the rest were killed. GreenTomato5 took some of the attacker's enchanted diamond loot as compensation for the attack.
== Battle of Rextown ==
The Battle of Rextown took place a few hours after the Battle of Yanren. In between the events, the player Jokarva snuck into Rextown with invisibility potions and killed one citizen in the mines. He stuck around and was killed by two of the Rextopians who chased him down into a nearby pine forest. Players D3bi, Unic0rnboy, BacktotheHub, TNTPiggles, ThunderfanTV, Sedail, and two others walked into the village of Rextown. They faced one round of armed resistance by the online players who could not put up a fight after dying. The attackers occupied the village from across the town bridge and left Sedail behind to keep order. They killed a few people after the battle had ceased. The war was unofficially declared over at this point, as the Rextopians were de-armed, and one publically surrendered.
The motivation for this coalition to attack Rextopia is quoted as: "These guys have been trolling and acting like edgy middle schoolers and they even went and bullied the server's younger brother"
== Aftermath ==
Shortly after the Battle of Rextown, Cyberminer1201 was publicly exiled from Rextown for causing the war, and also putting Rextopia in debt for raiding Redpanda Island a few days prior to the war. Rextopia attempted to defend themselves saying that the area that Cyberminer raided was unclaimed, however Redpanda Island still demanded a form of compensation for the the thousands items that were stolen and the rest that were clearlagged. The debt was never paid.
