Midnight

== Overview ==
Midnight is a color territory that was created by Swatpack on September 30th, 2022. The color territory consists of multiple drawings relating to the dark blue color, most notably the various workers with the color, the M emblem, the night sky with the moon and various stars around the territory, and the Far East dark blue star. It is located around 800, -650, which is directly below Blue Revolution. The official hex code for Midnight is #000059, which is the same color as the AE in the Ae Land flag.
== History ==
=== First Days Era ===
Originally, the color territory was created as a way for Swatpack to escape The Framed War, and to have more non-war mongering color territories in the color wars area, temporarily losing control of Blue Revolution to framers. During the first days of the color territory, the territory mostly expanded south, sometimes expanding west and east, forming an eastern border with Forest Green, a nothern border with Orange Pyramid, and a north-western border with Coquelicot Club. For most of the First Days era, Midnight would shoot linear-branching lines around an area the territory wanted to claim, this would change in the following Warlord Era.
==== Involvement in The Framed War ====
Midnight was relatively peaceful for a few days until on October 5th, 2022, framers attacked midnight by making Forest Green take over parts of Midnight, despite Forest Green not declaring war on any countries.
==== The Minting Press' Expansion ====
Sometime between October 5th and October 9th, Minting Press created the Down Under and Orange Town 3 which restricted Midnight from expanding southwest and split midnight into two. Minting Press also created the Steps which separated Midnight from Forest Green and took large chunks out of both color territories. Midnight retaliated by taking small portions of the steps and surrounded Orange Town 3, however these would be taken back on October 9th. A few days later, Midnight would take the entire bridge section connecting Minting Press to the Down Under. To ease tension, Minting Press added bridges similar to the Top Left Colours when cutting through land, so that they are both connected. Shortly after, Minting Press created "The Slightly Less Down Under (Later changed to The Subterrenean)" further testing Midnight's peacefulness.
 
==== Outward Expansion ====
On October 9th, 2022, Swatpack semi-secretly formed the Bluegray League and announced the new union. Midnight would continue to change, gaining more land south. Sometime in late October, Forest Green asked Midnight for an alliance, which was accepted. Midnight would continue to expand and wrap around drawings like the duck and Orange Town 4.Was randomly changed from Orange Town 3 to 4 at this time 
==== The Reconquest War ====
During November 2022, after the Framed War ended, the Bluegray territories were in pretty bad shape, so a retaliation effort was silently created. Minting Press would continue to cut off Midnight, prompting Swat to take some land back. Midnight would become aggressive and more cold with Minting Press during the war, even considering attacking Minting Press fully, but this was never initiated due to MEA being allied with Minting Press, causing some concerns of MEA attacking Midnight. After Minting Press was annexed by MEA Blue, Midnight would continue expanding in a branching way. Midnight would also receive stray griefs from various griefers during this time as well. MEA Blue would quietly push Midnight away from the duck around December 10th to expand their Naval Capital.
=== Warlord Era ===
==== DEZTRUCK Terror / Red Winter War ====
Swat would go inactive from mid December to early January due to the holidays and personal problems, this would be a mistake as during this time DEZTRUCK began to terrorize MEA and some of the color territories. 92% of Midnight would end up being destroyed by DEZTRUCK on January 20th, 2023, effectively reducing midnight into a sporadic warlord state, this was also during Eyeball Void's 4th Phase attack, further blockading Midnight and old Minting Press territories. 
 
Between January 29th to the 31st, while MEA and DEZ were fighting, Midnight would change expansion methods and crudely take land from every territory bordering Midnight, which caused some confusion and border skirmishes from MEA Blue. WEP would eventually form a strict border in the ex-Coquelicot Club land, taking some territory. Midnight would not clean its borders until February before immediately losing the land to WEP, Aron Friends, Yellow Friends, and Ex-Eyeball Void MEA Blue territory. However midnight would gain some of Minting Press' land. Midnight would also change expansion methods to the traditional way and expand like other colors.
 
=== Dispute Era ===
After the fall of MEA, PantsPlant would join Bluegray, helping Midnight with art. Between February 5th to the 9th, Cyan Light would form, and after some on-canvas discussions, was able to take some of the blue territory, suddenly it took more land than expected from Midnight and there would be some discussions of Midnight getting constantly cockblocked by various territories. After Joris' friends alliance stopped being present, Midnight would take all of Aron Friends and some of WEP that was lost.
 
==== Midnight's Involvement In The School Craze ====
Midnight would be the least involved Bluegray territory in the school craze, since most of the focus was in Blue Revolution and Purple Uprise with various color territories that came and went around the area. Midnight would take more land from from various territories, such as some of the Subterrean, all of The Land Down Under, some of Cyan Light (Became Gold during the school craze), and some of Joris Friends territories before the formation of Evil Green in March. In April 2023, Pants would create the UDT alliance made to clean up color wars from the aftermath of the school craze incident and to also work together incase the kids came back.
Midnight would eventually take some of the Gold land and border Yiff Zone which made midnight look Sus and appear fucked by a giant pink phallic object.
==== Bluegray vs ilovedarkgreen War ====
On May 30th, ilovedarkgreen would begin griefing all bluegray territories including Midnight, Midnight would not be fixed all the way until mid June.
==== Evil Green Border Disputes ====
Around April 2023, Evil Green and Midnight would have a diagonal border that remained unchanged for a while, however Joris would begin taking bits and pieces of Midnight territory, between May-August. Swat would take back the bridge various times as it was part of Midnight during March. Originally Swat called Joris out in July and took Midnight's claims back, but with no response from EG.
===== Eelektross' War =====
On August 12th, 2023, Eelektross began an attack on Evil Green via Midnight without Swat or Pants' knowledge or permission, and started a fake war with an unknown person defending Evil Green. During the restoration process, the borders were drawn with both April and March versions combined, causing both sides to bring up the disputes with both sides arguing their versions with Swat bringing up the March variant screenshotted from Malkist's Pixelbot server and Nemezio bringing up the May-June variant. Midnight would keep its claims, but without official agreement from Evil Green, leaving the area occupied by Midnight, but still disputed.
 
 
Evidence used and claims from both sides
==== Fake MEA Strip ====
Sometime in late August, a fake MEA territory would appear at the bottom of Midnight's panhandle and expand around Yiff Zone, some of the area would be taken over immediately, but the rest left alone until November 1st where Midnight reoccupied the strip.
==== Invasion of Evil Green ====
On November 1st, 2023, Nemezio would step down from administering Evil Green, leaving Joris as the sole leader, because of this, Aspro, Voidism, Voidfather, Citrine, Pogirs, Purple Pog, Fanta Zone, and eventually Invoid & Midnight (on November 3rd) would all invade Evil Green. Swat would make a deal with Quote to take the small northern part of EG and help out in the invasion. Midnight would take over the Evil Green text and logo and occupy the area to this day.
