The Simp vs Anti-Simp WAR

***#HISTORYSMP***

***The Causes:***

In late 2020, many of the server players thought the server was getting somewhat boring, everyone was full netherite and many automatic farms existed and virtually created infinite resources. The solution to revitalize the server seemed obvious: ***create a war***.

Many players could benefit from this, a war would allow them to take precious farms and make looting and killing for "stuff" possible. The players that would benefit from this were the aggressive, yet skilled ***PvP players***, like #Cheaterbenji or #Luximan.

A debate entered the minds of the players, when rumors started to circulate that female players may join our uniquely male server. Factions were created, the Simps reunited around the idea of protecting the women, and in reaction to this news, the Anti-Simps were created.

***The Teams:***

The Simps were composed of truly different type of players, the PvP players were few but highly organized around #Cheaterbenji and #Lordwolfe and their tactics consisted of going to an extremely remote area, where a base could be set up in a peaceful fashion. This made it easier to defend, as the Anti-Simps would have to go through extreme distances into unknown territory. The second tactic would be for less PvP oriented players to ***log off*** when attacked, and call #Cheaterbenji to the location to chase off the ambush and destroy all possible spawn traps. The training of the Simps in ***crystal warfare*** also made them more dangerous than the average Anti-Simp who wasn't used to those tactics.

The Anti-Simps were very different, with ***no organized structure*** and based on mostly individual attacks and performances, they truly lacked efficiency, but possessed many skilled fighters, and had an initial numbers advantage. Players like #Luximan or #Amrald could easily be a match for the Simp fighters. However, the lack of structure meant the Anti-Simps were reduced to ***raiding tactics*** in groups of two or three, common tactic of #Tristor1st and #Poupinoux. This meant that on an everyday basis, Anti-Simps were sometimes hunted down in ambushes, which made movement difficult, because some players of the Anti-Simps were pinned down to the main base which was a kill-free zone, most NOTORIOUS example being #potato. However it is important to say that in all out battles the Anti-Simps always won, when completely unified.

***The war:***

The war in itself started the 2nd of february 2021, when #EllesEatsCrocs29 and #Tilly joined the server. The goal was to bring the new players to safety, so they were escorted by #Lordwolfe and #Cheaterbenji to what would be a new base. At least this was the plan. However in the most glorious fashion when the "would be" new players joined, a swarm of Anti-Simps chased after them, the spawn started bearing the marks of a violent battle as the Anti-Simps started to slowly overwhelm, #Cheaterbenji and #Lordwolfe. The ***first confirmed kill*** of the new players was by #Amrald, successfully quickly killing #EllesEatsCrocs29, then CHAOS. The Anti-Simps totally took on the female players and their Simp escorteers. And their movement to the base was cancelled for that day.

However, this was ***the peak*** of the Anti-Simps, because such a movement was in reality extremely hard to coordinate. In the next days the new players got to their base and successfully started settling the area, #EllesEatsCrocs29 and #Tilly had successfully been incorporated in the server and the war slowly died down from that point on. What had been open warfare slowly came down to guerilla tactics, made of quick ambushes in overwhelming superiority in numbers or in intellect.

All in all simp ambushes were more effective than the Anti-Simp ones, for example an ambush of the new Simp base by #Poupinoux and #Tristor1st failed to kill anyone due to the tactics employed above. #Tilly logged off and #cheaterbenji arrived to kick #Tristor1st out of the base. A typical failure in locating constantly moving Simp bases also made it hard for Anti-Simps to track their enemy down, whereas their enemy knew exactly where they were.

***The End of the great Conflict:***

In retrospect it is difficult to assess who won this war, but what is sure is that two events definitively ended it. The banning of #Luximan for toxic behavior and of #Poupinoux after blowing up the main base as you can see at the end of the first video. These two Anti-simp veterans banned meant that the overall enthusiasm for war was low, and the fact is, that the population of the SMP wanted peace.

The war was over, and the last great battle saw #Cheaterbenji 1v3, #Luximan, #ElTaco93 and #Tristor1st, a crushing defeat that lay the bricks for a new chapter: The capitalist SMP, which slowly saw the 1st server come to a close as people gradually left, becoming more and more bored with what was now ***a simple childhood memory***.
