2016–17 RSN conflict

The **2016–17 RSN conflict** was a period of high tension between the Ninzard League and the Rocket Squad Nation, a successor to the Dungeon World community. In 2016, the RSN community began harassing members of the ninzard community in an attempt to irritate members into leaving the community. This was an attempt to bring the community apart.

## October 2016

In October 2016, the RSN wiped out a significant portion of the platforms being used by the community. The RSN immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, broadcasting in various platforms the message: "Message from the Rocket Rangers: This is **our revenge.**" Initially, the RSN community claimed the attacks were "hacks" launched against the Ninzard League. Upon investigation, however, this had not been the case, and rather, a spy had infiltrated access to the server's permissions, to which they provided to the RSN community.

## Xatsu Administration approach

Much of the conflict under the Xatsu Administration did not cease, and rather, escalated. In the first few months, Xatsu attempted many diplomatic approaches to the rising tensions, he was mostly unsuccessful. Many of his own neolegionist supporters began to disapprove of his actions. Former governor Sounddy criticized the governor, stating, "He's attempting to make peace with trolls with no good intentions."

### September 2016 spy campaigns against RSN

In September 2016, Xatsu sent in OPTIs to spy on the RSN community. He later launched sabotage campaigns against the community, a response to the RSN's sabotage campaigns against the Ninzard League. His campaigns had been surprisingly successful in dividing the RSN members. He would continue this while refusing to resort to full-on direct hacking methods. neolegionist praised his spy techniques.

Executor Zap, however, notably called Xatsu's decision a "stupid move" as he had believed these actions would only provoke the RSN community and cause retaliation.

### End of Xatsu Administration

However, by December 2016, the conflict had taken a toll on the community's activity. Many members grew tired of the RSN conflict. Many members during this time were also burned out, and tired of the community's political environment. The community also feared a significant drop in activity following the end of winter vacation. Due to these circumstances, Xatsu failed to win re-election in the December 2016 Ninzardia gubernatorial election. Upon losing, Xatsu asked Holiday to continue to spy campaigns. Holiday did not directly respond to Xatsu's request, but would reject.

## Rise of Holiday

Prior to becoming governor, Holiday made many remarks criticizing the community's political environment. She famously stated, "We're ALL getting sick of the politics!" which subsequently became her campaign slogan.

### Holiday Administration approach

The start of the Holiday Administration began with the withdrawal of the spies in the RSN community. In order to deal with the harassment from the RSN, she launched her own campaign with information and tips on how to deal with such trolls. She also encouraged to make members find amusement in the RSN's attempts, stating, "Just sit, gobble on popcorns, and embrace the attention. IT'S FUCKING PATHETICALLY HILARIOUS!"

### Peace agreement

After the RSN's harassment attempts being represented as "pathetic" and "futile," most of the RSN gave up. After failing to gain morale, the RSN leader offered a peace agreement, to which Holiday "accepted." She mockingly stated, "LMAO LOOK AT THIS DUDE OFFERING A FUCKING "PEACE TREATY" LMAOOO!"

Following the end of the conflict, Holiday's popularity spiked. Many members also gained stronger confidence in Holiday's ability to lead.
