World War III:The Civil War

World War III:The Civil War is an ongoing conflict involving all major alliances. It is the result of built up tensions that occurred in late 2020, particularly occurring from the NAP between N.S.T.C and The Resistance. 
== Build-Up ==
On October 29, 2020, The Resistance, which has recently reformed, signed a 3 month NAP with N.S.T.C. This displeased many players on both sides who wanted war in Cities War. On January 12, 2020, Kihtrak216 attacked Hispania and lost. This led to UER to take revenge on United Nations in retaliation. The Resistance and Imperial Sakura supported this attack. The Albion Pact attacked the city Amsterdam which was owned by N.S.T.C, claiming that N.S.T.C had broken their non-agression pact by attacking Hispania. N.S.T.C claimed they never agreed to such an NAP. (No evidence of an agreement to not attack Hispania has yet been found) N.S.T.C planned on taking revenge on The Albion Pact later that day, and was making plans to do so when something interesting happened in their Discord
== The Voice Chat ==
At 8:08 pm EST, four members of Imperial Sakura, BakaBento, Kevlord, MisterSensei420, and Vivid, joined the N.S.T.C discord voice chat. This caused the members of N.S.T.C who were on at the time to join that chat as well. Music was playing, and then someone decided to spam world chat. Willy noticed this and stated that they might crash the server, and they were doing a good job of a capacity test. Willy posted that everyone was banned, but that did not work. He also stated "TAXATION OF LARGE TERRITORIES! FREE THE WORLD!" Fortunately, the server did not crash, though there was substantial lag. What ultimately resulted from this was many members, as many as 20 at one time, on the voice chat. Due to the conflict earlier in the day, the decision was made to end the NAP early.
== A Civil War ==
When war started, many members were still on the voice chat. Thus, some attacks were stated out loud beforehand, and others were able to see the reaction from people who were recently attacked. A player mentioned in world chat that this was like watching commentary for a soccer match, a fitting description. Also giving the fact that it was not entirely clear who was fighting whom, it made for an interesting state of war.
== Initial Conflict ==
The very minute that all three alliances agreed to end the NAP, DIYSlinky attacked and took Paris from NSTC member PXL marking the start of the war. One of the first major actions of the war-time period was N.S.T.C popping The Albion Pact repeatedly, and taking some of their cities. This resulted in a strange territory shape that dodged parts of England, before it was returned somewhat to its original shape the next day. Other actions included Imperial Sakura and other alliances taking N.S.T.C cities in the East. The Resistance had their border at New York taken by H. Stickmin Esq twice, making it the 3rd and 4th time that he had taken it from Josey XIII. While this was predicted by starbucksiswron, it did not last for long either time, and N.S.T.C armies were trapped.
== Retaliation ==
(well, I guess some stories are yet to be written)
