ATC Spring

ATC Spring (named after the "Arab Spring"), also known as ATC Crisis, was an era in ATC History that involved wars and infighting.
== Timeline ==
=== April Revolution ===
The April Revolution was a war between the Pro-Alphaists and the Finolian Loyalists over ownership. The idea was that Alpha, the founder of the wiki, wanted to be owner again, but Finn didn't want him to return, saying he was underage. Soon Factions sprang up against each other, and many raids were conducted. Leo, Freecoder, and Finn had an argument at the discord. In the end, Liuan was told to demote Finn, which he did, and Freecoder banned him. 
=== Leo Conflict ===
The Leo Conflict was a war over Discriminatory Politics between Leo and Patriot. The Conflict began when Patriot left the Popular Revolutionary Leonidasian Party (PRLP), so Leo issued a state of emergency banning all political parties besides his. He also basically became a dictator by banning all future elections. Patriot was furious about this. In the end, Liuan demoted and impeached him, so Leo responded with The First VTerror Attacks, thus, Leo was banned.
=== Rising Tensions ===
Liuan became the new president after Leo. He thought that the reason why former presidents were corrupt was because the government didn't have enough positions to check the presidential power, thus he wanted a government with more positions. The Peoples' Party disagreed with him, saying that there weren't a lot of users on the Wiki yet, so the government shouldn't have a lot of positions.
=== 4/28 ===
The events of 4/28 mark some of the most brutal fighting ever on the wiki. The Combatants were the AP-PCP Union and the PPP-FD&V Coalition. Here are all of the events.
==== PPP-Freecoder War ====
In this short Flame war, Freecoder and the PPP had a little skirmish over Freecoder's allegiance in the wiki, saying that although Freecoder didn't want to intervene in Politics, Freecoder mostly sided with Liuan over his policies. This conflict had a lot of "DNC"s. The conflict may have influenced Freecoder, joining the Freedom, Democracy and Vodka Party.
==== Second ATC Civil War ====
The Second ATC Civil war was a war between the AP-PCP Union and the PPP-FD&V Coalition, over Politics and Policies. Alpha went a little over the extreme, saying the entire goal of the AP-PCP Union was to exterminate the PPP. When Patriot switched sides over spying, tensions escalated to a breaking point. After Patriot resigned his post as Vice President, Liuan followed suit with his. Alpha was the last to resign his post as owner (influenced by Leo). In the end, Leonidas huh (ATC Users), a former ATC Criminal, would take the post as Owner. (It is important to note that Leo became owner after the Finolian Comeback).
====Finolian Comeback====
Finn wanted revenge after the ATC Civil war, and he managed to find an evasion to do so. So, out of the blue, he unbanned himself and then banned Alpha. Alpha then was unbanned by Hi, but then Finn banned Alpha, Hi, Liuan, Belastan, and Freecoder. Sikyo intervened, however he was then banned. The ATC Wiki was panicking. Liuan thought that Moo would work, but then Hi pointed that he was mostly inactive. Finally, Finn unbanned everyone he had banned. Finn would remain unbanned for the rest of ATC Spring until he was given admin before, during, or after the May Revolution.
==== Second Leo Confict ====
The Second Leo Conflict didn't begin until Leo's banning, but hints of it began to show before. For example, Leo demoted Liuan from Vice Owner to Admin, which could've been a simple transfer to power, but some people thought that this was because Leo hated Liuan for demoting, impeaching, and then banning him. Then Leo issued ANOTHER state of emergency, although only Patriot could see where this was going. Then, the conflict started when Leo banned both Patriot and Liuan from Fandom and Discord. Freecoder and Mpia were banned from discord too, and Conflict started. Sikyo managed to ban Leo, however he still ruled over discord. When the Discord Revolution started, led by Alpha, Leo lost all of his permissions and was banned, ending the Second Leo Conflict once and for all.
=== The Near End ===
We are Nearing the end of the ATC Spring, and that's when Politics started jumping in view again, this time in decline. After the trials of Finn and Leo, Politics began declining when Liuan proposed that Politics be moved from the main to a different wiki. However, this idea was postponed as Liuan lost his Vice Owner role. Freecoder then proposed the idea that Politics should be removed from the wiki, which the majority voted in favor. Alpha didn't really like this, and thus formed the ATC Politics wiki, which Liuan thought was just a stupid "Workaround". 
=== Liuan-Alpha Tensions ===
The Liuan-Alpha Tensions were 2 wars that sparked over politics. Here is a brief description of the 2.
==== Liuan-Alpha Politics Conflict ====
The Liuan-Alpha Politics Conflict, also known as the ATC Political Hotbed, was a war between Liuan and Alpha over politics. Alpha wanted Politics to be back on the main, while Liuan wanted them kept on the subwiki, thus, war (just a hotbed for now). In the background, Freecoder and Alpha were having some minor conflicts (full details yet to be revealed). 4 Speeches were made: Liuan's, Alpha's, Patriot's, and Poxy's. Liuan then questioned Alpha if he'd start a full fledged war. Patriot and Alpha were working on a constitution at this time, and Alpha managed to prevent this conflict from becoming a full-fledged war by making Liuan sign the may constitution. However, Tensions would resume in the May Revolution. 
==== May Revoulution ====
The May Revolution was one of the biggest conflicts yet, lasting around 5 days. When Liuan realized he'd been tricked with the May Constitution, he didn't like it, and called Alpha a Tyrant and Warmonger. He also asked if he could unsign the May Constitution, because he didn't really like it. He then proposed a compromise, and created a new constitution, called the Grand Constitution of May. Alpha didn't like this either, and tried to make Liuan accept 3 demands: 
# Accept the May Constitution as Official
# Accept that Politics should be on the Main
# I forgot the Last demand
These were demands that the majority of the wiki didn't even like. So Liuan refused these demands, and Alpha declared war. Liuan later banned Alpha for being a warmonger, Alpha then unbanned himself, then Patriot banned Alpha. Alpha was later unbanned by Liuan, but Alpha banned Liuan. Sikyo unbanned Liuan, then Liuan banned Alpha, then Alpha unbanned himself, then Liuan banned Alpha, then Alpha unbanned himself, yea right. Eventually Liuan was getting sick of it and asked Fandom what to do. The reason why was because they were bureaucrats, which could unban and promote themselves at will. Liuan later made a complaint to Fandom, which would go unanswered for awhile. Freecoder tried to make peace, but Fandom responded and removed Alpha's permissions. Freecoder later returned them and unbanned Alpha and Liuan. A new poll was made, in which the majority voted in favor of removing politics, which Alpha didn't like. In the background, Alpha proposed the "Epic Gamer Constitution". Alpha then made another declaration of war against Liuan, which nobody liked. Alpha later apologized for his actions and ended the war and politics. 1 day later, he left the wiki, leaving Freecoder as the new owner.
=== Patriot-Belastan War ===
The Patriot-Belastan War, also known as the War over Wiki-Communism, was a short flame war between Belastan and Patriot that started around the time when Patriot became active. On the page History of ATC Politics, Patriot made a section on the page entirely about himself, which Hi pointed out, shouldn't be there. The section was called "Patriot Continuation of Politics" (before Hi changed it to "Patriot becomes a Pussy"). Belastan later made a post about this, saying about why you shouldn't make an entire section on important-to-date history entirely about yourself, and why Wiki-Communism is, a bad idea. Patriot responded hotly, completely explaining why Belastan "sucks" with his complain. With tensions at a near breaking point, both Freecoder and Alpha managed to stop the war, and Patriot apologized, demoting his sysop role (before Freecoder undone it). Alpha later came up with an idea called the Alphadonian Coalition, which a lot of people didn't like because they thought that Alpha wasn't intervening in the ATC Wiki and it's drama.
=== Community Central Admin Escalation ===
The CCAE was an escalation that nearly started a war, and it was between SrLovesOkra and Freecoder. Freecoder was banned on fandom after he defended a friend on the wiki. A user by the name of Mendes2 encouraged this ban, and he was banned from Fandom. In response to this, Freecoder used his alt to call Mendes2 corrupt. When SrLovesOkra found out that Freecoder called a Community Central Admin corrupt, he didn't really like it. So he created a post telling Freecoder to Shut the fuck up or a war would start. He was also unhappy that Freecoder was block evading (or as we know it, ban evading). Nobody liked this declaration of war, and in the end, Finn would lock the post due to drama. However, SrlovesOkra created another post, which was then locked, and then another, which was also locked. The Escalation is in a standstill, but at least war hasn't started yet. Sria-72 was blocked by Hi for causing the drama, however he was later unblocked by Liuan.

== Aftermath ==
In the aftermath of the prolonged ATC Spring, fighting continued on a lower level with less actual wars being declared during the period called the ATC Winter. Despite having less actual wars, the ATC Winter arguably led to more controversial events.
