The Eventi/Tabcat Shipping War

The Eventi/Tabcat Shipping War was a shipping fiasco that occurred in the spring of 2017. Shortly after the Bobcat and Amberwolf Contest and the Amuke ship wedding, Amber (her name was shortened for simplicty) decided more SAMBers needed to be shipped. 
Many different ships were proposed at this time, but the best known was Eventi—the ship between Ever and Anti. Bobcat was an enthusiastic supporter of this pairing, and was revenge-shipped with Tag in return. Neither pair supported their own ship, opting to aggressively promote the other in hopes of making their own ship obsolete. 
The Shipping War was rather uneventful, but lasted for a month or two regardless. Chat threads with the involved SAMBers fanned Amber's shipping flames, many MBers displayed their preferred pairing in their signature, and general chaos reigned supreme. This event correlated with a surge of activity on the (now inactive) Scholastica Wikia. Along with the Bobcat and Amberwolf Contest and Heck Heck Hurgle, artifacts from this time remain fossilized in the comment sections and the participant's pages. Speaking of artifacts, Bobcat made a shirt design, which is still available for purchase at the bargain price of $34.95.
After a while, Bobcat became uncomfortable with the pairing and asked Amber and the other rabid shippers to cool it with Tabcat. Bobcat and Tag remained friends, but the shipping mania petered out after her request. Almost a year later, Ever and Anti decided to mess with everyone on Discord and make Eventi official. Icicle posted the news on the wiki, and plans for a ship wedding ensued. The happy couple were married on the SAMB, but sadly, the marriage didn't work out. Anti disappeared into the void, but not before engaging in a brief fling with his Shipping War rival, Tag. #Tanti
