Gerrian-OWOT Cold War

The Gerrian-Our World of Text Cold War was a period of cyberdiplomatic tensions between the micronation of Gerria and the community of a website called "Our World of Text". It happened as a result of a satelitte photo of the Gerrian capital building that showed the street names of it's two adjacent roads, therefore, the Gerrian government implemented sanctions against the website and blocked all it's citizens from visiting it's territory. The cold war was originally going to last from 19 November 2022 to 19 January 2023, however, for 3 days the cold war took a break before the war sparked again on 23 January 2023. The OWOT community originaly won victorious in the first and second OWOT wars, while Gerria itself felt poor because it lost both wars, a third war was between Gerria and OWOT, but OWOT again wins.
OWOT administrator "fp" originally announced that OWOT will be shutting down on 29 January 2023, which might lead to Gerria winning the war in a victory, although "fp" decided to continue using OWOT and Gerria feels even poorer.
The war ended on 21 March 2023, when Gerria decided to stop covering the period and to cancel the tensions with OWOT to be a peace once and for all.
== Background ==
The micronation of Gerria and the OWOT community always had tense relationships between each other, the Gerrian government had always criticized OWOT for it's use of N*z* imagery together with frequent use of the n-word, LGBT propaganda and pornographic artwork being displayed on the website, most of which is illegal to display in Gerria.
Emperor Benjamin Posada I of Gerria said that the website has one of the "highest press freedoms" out of any website he has visited due to it's lawless nature.
Furthermore, the OWOT community has criticized Gerria's royal family for their anti-OWOT sentiment, and Posada for his childish behavior on the website, constantly trolling the website for it's nature, thinking he could sue them with "no valid reason", the true reason was to "shut down OWOT once and for all".
Gerrian pastor Jarlyn Posada criticized the website for it's bad words usage.
OWOT was launched back in 2017, less than 4 years before Gerryscute GEB was founded.
== History ==
=== Events prior to the war ===
The Gerrian emperor Benjamin Posada I first heard of the website on mid-October of 2022 after a comment on the Dan-Ball website 100bit saying that a 100bit board from early 2022 was being uploaded to the website, the image was shared via file storage service Litterbox. From there, Benjamin had accessed OWOT for the first time in his life.
What Benjamin saw immediately after opening up OWOT for the first time was numerous drawings including the 100bit board, A character from DDLC, MLP: Friendship is Magic fan artwork, etc. His first drawing was most likely that of a future Alphabet Attack scene in which Catmint tells M and N to climb on top of a ladder.
A few days after he joined, he logged into the website as the username "JunoTehPlanet".
He was known for drawing graphic artwork made using Ibis Paint X and attempted to derail and brainwash the website community towards his sexually suggestive jokes.
On 23 October 2022, the day before Galveston Beach House oblast was created, an incident happened at Southern Offices after Benjamin's sister Sefora walked by him on his computer while typing 3-letter combinations on the website at closest zoom, upon seeing the word "f*ck" found in the lyrics of a song Benjamin does not know of near the Pumpkin of Publicity, Sefora asked him to "change that word", Benjamin did so hours later.
Tensions between Posada and OWOT grew due to cyberbullying, on 18 November, the border disputes the Gerria's mainland oblasts were fixed.
=== Beginning of the cold war and accidental doxxing of Posada's address ===
On 19 November 2022, Gerrian leader Posada uploaded a photo of the Gerrian mainland and it's 19 oblasts, featuring the capital building and other nearby buildings, but he unknowningly forgot to censor street names in the photo at the time, after uploading, OWOT user Bzuki noticed that Posada (Juno) accidentally doxxed himself because of this photo, which showed the names of the mainland's two adjacent streets, and that he should have "not uploaded that photo in the first place". d9 doxxed the coordinates of the house, which turn out to be the coordinates of a point in Eastern Back Gardens oblast, the Gerrian government was not happy about d9 doxxing Eastern Back Gardens and sanctioned d9 as a result, PinkiePie thinked about ordering a pizza to the Gerrian mainland, of which the Gerrian government would not have accepted, Posada is scared with the mistake now, as he reported it to his mother and his sister Raquel, and his mother looked at the website and found it's content to be unacceptable, advising Posada to not visit the website again, Posada refuses, and continues going because the Gerrian government is now furious of the doxxing incident involving it's leader, therefore, the Gerrian government imposed initial sanctions against d9 and Pinkie, and OWOTers are advised not to travel to Gerria at all costs because of the doxxing incident. This doxxing incident marked the beginning of the period of tensions that would later escalate to become the Gerrian-OWOT cold war.
The next day on 20 November, Posada and his family had leaved the Gerrian mainland to San Antonio. OWOTers are now unhappy about Posada's doxxing of himself.
On 21 November, while travelling to the Lost Maples State Natural Area in Vanderpool, Texas, Posada found out that d9 is at his house, as the micronation's mainland is now under physical invasion by d9 himself, who investigated the house and revealed its characteristics to the OWOT community, causing several OWOTers to think about going on a road trip to Posada's house (the Gerrian capital building), of which the Gerrian government will not accept. d9 invaded the southern and western portions of the Gerrian mainland, and somehow left without any signs of him walking in the Gerrian property.
After returning back home, the family of Gerria regained all of the captured lands, as OWOT and Gerria's relationship started worsening. cooperation was suspended between the two entities.
On 25 November, the country suffered another physical invasion from OWOT user PinkiePie, who illegally tresspassed Posada's property via Entrance Fields oblast. a dog named Oliver was barking at him while Raquel was talking to him in a friendly conversation between each other, of which the Gerrian government reacted furiously.
In response to the visits by the OWOT users, Gerria had to develop an official passport on 29 November in order to stop OWOT users from entering it's territory.
=== Second doxxing incident ===
Tensions between Gerria and OWOT grew worse when on 8 December 2022, The house info of the First Headquarters and Posada's parent's personal information were revealed again on the OWOT website because of a novel Posada made. In response, Posada put the business logo sign on his house's front door for the first time since 24 May 2022, and also wrote text on the paper reading "Do not enter if your are an OWOT user, Benjamin does not tolerate people like that". He called his dad saying that his info was revealed, he told it to his mother. The Gerrian government in response to the doxxing sanctioned the website and an unknown user and banned all OWOT users from entering its territory because Posada's info was doxxed again. His mother was unfortunate to hear that her info had been doxxed.
On 9 December, the Gerrian government created a slideshow explaining what would happen if OWOTers raid the Gerrian mainland physically.
=== Intermission period ===
Posada was known to have possessed many worlds on OWOT, including /junotehplanet, /solarsystemts, /omega, /onion, /taxi, /ganymede, /callisto, and /junolivesintexas.
Posada was the subject of a common hoax on the community claiming that he lives within the US state of Alabama, most OWOT users have accepted this belief and it is considered a general common fact on the OWOT community regarding Posada himself, Posada in response has repeatedly stated that this is a hoax because of the doxxing incidents earlier, which revealed that he is actually from the US state of Texas, Posada has officially recognized the phrase "Juno Lives in Alabama" as a hoax and a literal lie. Posada had actually visited Alabama in 2016 as part of a road trip from Texas to North Carolina. The "Juno Lives in Alabama" hoax fueled up the tensions between Gerria and OWOT to high levels, to the point where Posada cannot stand the hoax anymore.
Posada was known to have drawn the Russian "Z" military symbol on the board. He spammed images of the planets Neptune and Jupiter on the main world together with several other worlds.
Gerria was criticized by many users on the website, Posada kept repeatedly removing clop's MLP fanart due to Posada being a member of the /antipony organization, Benjamin later stated that "all ponies must vanish".
On 25 December, Posada threatened to report the website to local authorities after he found child p**n**r**h** content near the spawn area.
An article was created about Posada on the Real Life Villains Wiki on 29 December.
=== Third doxxing incident ===
On 2 January 2023, Gerria enacted a new consitution, the night later, Posada's accounts, his mother's phone number and email, and his father and sister's emails were doxxed again for the third time on the website "Our World Of Text" by an unknown user after a conversation between Pinkie and a user being disguised as Elon Musk over Posada's privacy. The Gerrian government in reponse took retaliatory steps against the website community and threatened to report the website to the US government's identity theft reporting website. However, FP, the website operator, stopped him from doing so.
Tensions between Gerria and OWOT grew to levels not seen since the second doxxing incident.
=== Blackmailing threats and OWOT "G" wars. ===
On 6 January 2023, Posada had received bomb threats and weapon delivering threats, which would "not only kill Posada, but would also destroy the house down". Posada later randomly decided to attack the website's spawn spamming a large grid of G's everywhere at spawn, ege wiped out the background using a javascript.
=== First Gerrian-OWOT war and fourth doxxing incident ===
On 18 January 2023, Gerria declared war on the community of the Our World of Text website and launched attacks against everything near the spawn, in a battle known as the "Battle of the Spawn Area", Gerria on the website quickly filled the Square of Publicity with their signature red within minutes while several users including lime.owot and e_g have fought back. Gerria's capital building's street address was again doxxed by realredtext, and thus resulting in personal information from the Gerrian royal family doxxed within hours into the war, as Gerrria, lime, and e_g competed over who controls the SoP, a static appeared to cover everything near the Square of Publicity, graffiti was drawn on the Gerrian occupation zone and Gerria was disqualified from the battle, ending the war.
=== Second Gerrian-OWOT war ===
On 19 January 2023, Gerria again declared war on OWOT and launch attacks and assualts against everything north of the publicity sqaure inside the spawn area, clop drew MLP eyes on the Gerrian occupation zone while Gerria was clearing it, lime, e_g, and the static fought back, Gerrian leader Posada now in a fury rages in all caps and threatened everyone to surrender, fp took immediate action and Gerrian leader Posada was muted. As a result, Gerria again loses the war to the OWOT community, and as a result, the Gerrian government is currently deciding to block access to Our World of Text and it's predecessor Your World of Text.
The big loss in the war caused a collapse in the Gerrian economy, Gerria is currently planning on entering relations with Cyclodia and Dracul.
=== Intermission, Three day break ===
The cold war took a three day break during the 20th, 21st, and 22nd of January 2023.
=== Third Gerrian-OWOT war and boycotting of Gerria ===
On 23 January 2023, Gerria officially recognized the micronations of Cyclodia and Dracul as independent, and is currently planning on entering relations with them.
The tensions grew on 23 January to the point where a boycotting of Gerria and Anti-Gerrian sentiment became widespread throughout the OWOT community, many users on the website have hated Posada, thinking that he is worse than Textwall.
Gerria declared war on OWOT for the third time and occupied an area surrounding a pony drawing. Posada and LimeSlime competed over who gets more territory, Gerria loses again to Lime and uses the wiper script to erase everything.
Gerrian leader Posada planned on hiring other micronational entities together with his YouTube subscribers and his friendly commenters together with other international volunteers to raid OWOT down.
=== Possible shutdown of OWOT and possible Gerrian victory ===
On 27 January 2023, FP announced that OWOT will be shutting down on 29 January 2023 at 12:00 (FP time) due to Textwallers, Making Gerria and Posada more victorious than ever, as Gerria is now officially winning the cold war to OWOT defeat soon.
Gerria was boycotted by OWOT again on 28 January 2023 after an image of p**n**r**h** content related to that of Gacha Club was pasted on the website, causing Posada's text to be subject to "color ban", turning every text he writes black. Lime made a video about it.
If OWOT's shutdown is true, then Gerria will win victorous, if OWOT stays up, Gerria will lose.
It was discovered that OWOT did not shut down, and Gerria technically lost, although Gerria continues the survive the sanctions and boycotting OWOT put.
=== Aftermath and extended peaceful period ===
Gerria later acknowledged and realized that it's war with OWOT was not declared properly at all.
Gerria is currently planning to establish a mutual recognition with Cyclodia and Dracul, planning to happen within months.
In mid-February of 2023, Gerria planned to hire other micronations to form an anti-OWOT alliance. Gerrian emperor Posada needs to hire them together with his subscribers and many international volunteers to get involved in the OWOT conflict and to raid OWOT once and for all.
Gerryscute GEB also planned on contacting the German colocation center Hetzner Online to get the website taken down.
On 21 February 2023, the article about Gerria on the MicroWiki was vandalized by the Sleepycat user fetty fave, who was later blocked by the site admins after reports of sexually explicit content being uploaded to the article. Posada repeatedly reverted the page to its original version in an edit conflict that would later be resolved with the help of wiki administrators who indefinitely blocked fetty fave from ever editing the page again. Not only was Gerria's article and Posada affected, but August IV, Emperor of New Prussia, King of New Bavaria, Duke of Lowden, etc. also had his user page vandalized, which was later fixed by him and another good user.
On 15 March 2023, Posada I brought the attention of everyone in a beach in Galveston to rise up against the OWOT website and advised people to not ever visit it at all costs. Some kids walking by read part of a message while Posada was trying to draw it.
