**The First Dragon Egg War** (a.k.a "the War of the Fourth Egg") was a war declared by the Antarctic Empire and Marioloogi against Newfoundland. It began on Day 45 during the SMPEarth Moon Landing and concluded on Day 54, with the complete defeat of WilburSoot.

## Cause

During the SMPEarth Moon Landing on the Moon, Ph1LzA of the Antarctic Empire and his ally, Sneegsnag of Marioloogi, ventured to the Hidden Moon Base located in the Moon Octangula, in order to retrieve the Fourth Dragon Egg spawned there by Chip. Sneeg and Phil worked diligently together in order to quickly capture the egg, while preventing WilburSoot, the leader of Newfoundland, from getting close to it.

After acquiring the egg, Sneeg handed it to Phil for an achievement in response to the latter's request. Wilbur, who saw the opportunity, requested the egg for the same purpose. Upon receiving it from Phil, he proceeded to log out of both Minecraft and Discord.

## The War

### **The Moon Battles**

In a direct response to Wilbur's theft of the Fourth Dragon Egg, the Antarctic Empire and Marioloogi immediately declared war on Newfoundland. Angered, Technoblade sought out Sophietexas, who was the other member of Newfoundland and was present on The Moon Central Island at the time, and demanded that she contact Wilbur immediately. She complied and attempted to do so amid growing hostilities from the two factions and their allies. Sophie attempted to contact Wilbur several times yet was unsuccessful and was still held accountable for her leader's actions.

Unsatisfied with the outcome, Techno attacked Sophie and swiftly killed her. He was shocked and impressed to see how calmly she handled his attack, to which he quickly discovered that she was not paying attention as she was reading her stream's chat. Sophie returned again to collect her items, which were collected and stored by Techno and AllanahVA, and then was attacked by him again. Due to Techno's earlier mistakes of killing her and AllanahVA though (notably with a carrot), he only punched Sophie several times with a firework jokingly until she successfully escaped through the Exit Fountain.

### **The Newfoundland Negotiation**

On Day 48, Wilbur logged back online which prompted Phil to travel to his location in order to discuss the status of the egg. The two travelled towards each other and met in the air above the ocean. Wilbur landed and constructed a platform for the two of them to land. He then boarded Phil's plane and was returned to Newfoundland for the conversation to continue.

Negotiations were short, as once they arrived Wilbur craftily convinced Phil to place an Ender Chest and promptly placed the egg in the chest. He said to Phil that he had stored the egg in an Ender Chest prior, yet it was still in his inventory in reality. As Wilbur presented this revelation, both Phil's chat and Technoblade pointed out that Wilbur's spawn point was set in Newfoundland, their current location, giving Phil the opportunity to slaughter Wilbur to his heart's content. Wilbur then taunted Phil, noting that his possession of the dragon egg would not change regardless of his numerous foreseeable deaths. Phil continued to attack Wilbur and declared that he will not stop murdering him until he returned the dragon egg. Wilbur decided to combat log and left to go play another game instead.

Phil then soliloquized and broke a block on one of Wilbur's buildings, implying that he would break Newfoundland to the ground. He then decided against destroying Newfoundland's buildings and was encouraged by Techno to execute Sophietexas, who was also online at the time.

### **The Dog-napping of Pee Dog**

Phil did not comply with Techno's recommendation and acknowledged that he was scammed twice in a row by Wilbur, a very skilled deceiver. He even noted that he never would like to engage in a game of poker with him. As retribution, Phil decided that he would kidnap Wilbur's prized pet, Pee Dog, and hold him hostage in order to force Wilbur to negotiate.

Using a combination of x-ray glitching and searching, he located a dog sitting inside the yellow building next to the Cumin Squad Headquarters. His chat informed him that it was a fake dog which compelled Phil to message Sophie in order to acquire some form of confirmation. Sophie responded, begging Phil not to kidnap any of the dogs, as all creatures in Newfoundland's territory are incredibly important to her. She then indirectly confirmed Pee Dog's residence and appearance, being the yellow house and yellow collar. Sophie had also pleaded to Phil to not harm Pee Dog as "he is a good boy" and for the lives of the rest of her dogs Dave, Dive, Dove, Duve, and Deve, who also resided in Newfoundland. Phil simply replied saying that if she had lied to him that the lives of the rest of her dogs would be at stake. Sophie assured Phil that she was incapable of lying, enabling him to embark on his journey south with the dog in tow. His chat beseeched him to kill the dog, yet Phil refused to do so and carefully transported it across the oceans.

Phil's journey back to Port-aux-Francais, Antarctica, was briefly interrupted by a Drowned taking his place in the boat, but he was able to kill it without any issue or harm to Pee Dog. He eventually arrived in Antarctica and leftl Pee Dog in a boat outside the palace such that he may hide the dog off-stream.

#### Phil's "Love Letter"

    Phil returned to Newfoundland on Day 49 and constructed a small display for Wilbur to discover when he next logged on to the server.

Sophie, who was streaming at the time, was notified by her chat of Phil's presence in their territory. While she was constructing her train station in Brittany, she developed a slight anxiety attack as her chat became convinced that her other dogs may have been kidnapped by Phil as well. She quickly travelled to Newfoundland to discover the surprise left by Phil for Wilbur. She found the display set up with a chest containing a map art of Pee Dog at the Port-aux-Francais alongside a book titled "Love Letter" written by Phil. The book said the following message:

Sophie was distressed by the message and was concerned for Pee Dog's safety. She acknowledged that she was unable to accomplish anything until Wilbur returned online. She decided to quickly construct a hidden bunker underneath the Cumin Squad Headquarters to hide the rest of the dogs and ensure their safety in the mean time.

### **The Pee Dog Rescue Mission**

KaraCorvus went on a "rescue mission" later on Day 49 to relocate Pee Dog in Port-aux-Francais, employing the piston x-ray glitch in order to determine the dog's whereabouts. She arrived at the base, successfully located Pee Dog, and rescued him from the prison created by Phil.

Phil, who was alerted of Kara's presence by a viewer on Twitter, quickly logged on to the server and chased her down in order to explain the situation. The two briefly discussed Pee Dog's living situation and treatment, while Phil returned the dog to its prison. Phil and Kara came to the consensus that the dog was treated humanely, that Phil would find himself a girlfriend and would make sure to feed the dog. With Kara placated, Phil left to enact these new conditions.

Unaware that Sophie discovered the ransom message earlier the same day, Phil also informed Kara of the surprise he left for Wilbur in Newfoundland. She made her way over and found the wall bearing the map art, placed earlier by Sophie, along with the book containing the message.

### **Conclusion of the War – The Egg's Return**

WilburSoot returned to the server on Day 54, for the first time since Day 48, as VoiceOverPete left him an ominous message stating that he had heard horrible things. Wilbur exited his house and immediately noticed the display and letter that Ph1LzA had left him. Upon reading the letter, he panicked as he realized that the life of Pee Dog was at stake. It was the 14th of January, a day before Phil's specified deadline. He quickly contacted Sophietexas, begging her for help and asking her if she knew what was going on. Sophie responded, withholding her pent up rage (as she had to deal with the situation up until this point alone), noting that they must negotiate with the Antarctic Empire in order to guarantee the safe return of their comrade. Wilbur stated that they were out-numbered and weak in comparison to the members of the Antarctic Empire, mentioning that he had a plan in mind as well. While the two discussed their options, Phil continuously taunted Wilbur from his stream's audience.

Wilbur travelled to Brittany in order to meet up with Sophie and view her progress on developing their colony. On his arrival, he immediately noticed Ye Eiffel Tower, Sophie's scaled recreation of the renowned tower, and attempted to search for the proper vocabulary to describe his opinion without offending Sophie. They continued their tour around the colony, where Sophie showed him her collection of turtles, her vast rainbow-coloured sheep and cattle farm, and her llama sanctuary. While traveling to view more sites in Brittany, Wilbur jokingly observed that they were spending their time touring when they should actually be using the time to save the life of Pee Dog. They arrived at the Whattaburger Sophie built and returned their attention to the matter of Pee Dog and the Dragon Egg. Wilbur and Sophie then decided to join a voice chat with Pete, where the latter remarked that they had begun a conflict between "mates".

Wilbur requested for Phil to join the conversation, where Wilbur explained to all present that he would like to negotiate for the safe return of Pee Dog in exchange for the dragon egg. Technoblade joined the conversation moments after Phil joined in order to oversee the negotiations. Phil commented that he felt quite worn down as he had been fooled twice by the same individual, yet was still willing to negotiate on appropriate grounds. Wilbur confirmed that he was serious and mentioned that he would like to meet up in order to facilitate the exchange. Realizing that none of his planes functioned, he asked to be picked up and transported to Port-aux-Francais while leaving Sophie behind to make her own way. The members of the Antarctic Empire mentioned that Wisp was also invited to help maintain their interests during the negotiations, yet was unable to attend.

Phil arrived at Brittany to pick up and transport Wilbur back to Port-aux-Francais. Wilbur exited the voice chat during the travel to explain his perspective of the situation to his stream's chat and how he had a plan in mind. His account of the situation attempted to defend his own interests and possession of the dragon egg, which was hastily refuted as many spectators acknowledged that the egg originally belonged to Sneegsnag. Wilbur then rejoined the voice chat and began taunting Phil, referencing how he was able to successfully deceive him. On their arrival to Port-aux-Francais, Wilbur immediately commented on the city and palace's appalling appearance. Upon hearing Wilbur's remark, Sophie reminded him that his choice of speech was improper for a hostage negotiation.

Wilbur demanded that they wait until Sophie's arrival in Port-aux-Francais to continue the negotiations. Sophie was delayed as she encountered difficulties while flying over by herself and had to return to Brittany. She was then transported over to the meeting by Sylvee, an ally of Sophie's who was interested in spectating the event. Upon their arrival, Sylvee placed down cake in the area and observed while the negotiations for Pee Dog proceeded.

Wilbur stood on the ARG Sundial and pointed out that the Antarctic Empire was attempting to collect the dragon eggs, as they were currently in possession of two more. Phil denied his claim and explained that he has been trying to return the egg to its rightful owner, Sneegsnag; moreover, he felt responsible for losing the egg to Wilbur in the first place. While Wilbur began to craft another argument, he was blown up by a creeper as he was not paying attention. Everybody, excluding Wilbur, burst in to laughter after witnessing his death while Pete even observed that it was all part of their plan.

Phil travelled to Newfoundland to retrieve Wilbur and return him to Port-aux-Francais in order to continue. While trying to reinforce his position, Wilbur briefly observed that he was willing to destroy Pee Dog which greatly angered Sophie. The discussion continued in air as Phil explained that Wilbur had gone dark after obtaining the egg and he only intended to seize Pee Dog as an attempt to lure Wilbur back online. Wilbur responded offering his point of view, stating that his motivation for tricking Phil for the egg was substantiated by the fact that Sneeg likely did not need it and Phil was already in possession of one. Phil then simply replied asking Wilbur what was more important to him, Pee Dog or the dragon egg. As Phil touched down, Wilbur revealed that he intended to burn the dragon egg in lava if Pee Dog is slain, saying that he had the power to determine the fate of Pee Dog. Sophie was appalled at Wilbur's revelation and began to bargain for the life of Pee Dog. She acknowledged in the voice call that Wilbur did not participate at all in the fight against the dragon, validating that he should not maintain a claim in the ownership of the egg. CharlieSH messaged Wilbur and recommended that he should take back his dog by force, yet Wilbur willingly returned to negotiating as he had no means to provoke such actions.

Discussions continued during Wilbur's return trip to Port-aux-Francais as the members of the Antarctic Empire continued to question Wilbur's relationship with Pee Dog. Wilbur's negotiation tactics so far had members, such as Pete and Phil, question if he was heartless and did not care for his dog and if he did not care for his friendships with those affected by his actions, respectively. Wilbur responded to these remarks by accusing the Antarctic Empire of committing an act of terror on his faction, while he remained silent after being called selfish.

Once Pete and Wilbur arrived back at Port-aux-Francais, Wilbur requested to see his dog to confirm that it was not a decoy. Everybody followed Wilbur in to the palace where the dog was held in a glass prison in the palace's grand foyer. After exiting the cell, Wilbur faced the dog and confessed his love to him while Techno played a recording of sad violin music in the background. Wilbur began to state his parting words to the dog, but instead threw a grenade in a final attempt to free his companion. Those nearby quickly fled the space upon noticing Wilbur's use of an explosive, yet erupted in laughter after realizing that he only threw the grenade without activating it.

Sophie grew displeased with Wilbur's continued antics and barred him from negotiating further. She proclaimed that she would negotiate on his behalf, turned towards him and demanded that he return the dragon egg. Wilbur stated that he was not carrying an Ender Chest yet was pointed in the direction of one conveniently placed outside of the palace. Wilbur removed the egg from the chest and swiftly ran towards the French Bridge in his final attempt to flee by rail. A server setting prevented him from placing down his mine cart and was quickly slaughtered by Phil, who had followed him in hot pursuit.

After admitting defeat and losing possession of the dragon egg, Wilbur requested that Pee Dog be returned and sought support from his viewer base. He was shocked, however, to discover that they did not support his ownership of the dog, especially after his most-recent attempt moments earlier which would have resulted in the dog's demise. The Antarctic Empire was not convinced that they should return the dog to Wilbur's possession citing poor ownership as-observed. Pete even declared his preference to return the dog to Sophie instead as she continued to be concerned for Pee Dog's well being while the entire situation unfolded. He even declared that she was Antarctic Empire worthy, which garnered attention from the other members online. Regardless of the invitation's validity, Sophie refused to leave Newfoundland as she could not part ways with all that she accomplished in Brittany.

Phil returned to Newfoundland and picked up Wilbur again to return him to Port-aux-Francais for the conclusion of their negotiation. While on route back to the palace, Phil gave Wilbur an ultimatum in an attempt to expose Wilbur's true motivations. Phil said that he would give him another grenade and open a hole in Pee Dog's glass prison for Wilbur to throw the grenade. If he threw the grenade, Wilbur would effectively claim the dog's life and the dragon egg would be returned in exchange.

The two arrived at the palace and the group returned to the grand foyer and watched Wilbur in order for him to make his decision. Wilbur confessed while staring at Pee Dog, that he did not want to harm his dog and wanted the Antarctic Empire to keep the egg. He also mentioned that he wanted Sophie to have possession of Pee Dog instead as she cares deeply for the dog's wellbeing. Phil told Wilbur that he made the right decision and then proceeded to break the glass prison and executed the captive dog before Wilbur's and Sophie's eyes. The two were appalled and rushed out of the palace in order to quickly flee the situation and horror that they just witnessed. They commandeered Phil's plane and began to fly away, yet Phil quickly rejoined their call revealing that the dog killed was only a decoy and that the real Pee Dog was still alive.

Wilbur landed the plane back at Port-aux-Francais and disembarked along with Sophie in order to retrieve their dog. The two stood outside the palace, while Sophie scolded Phil for his decision to trick them like he did. Wilbur remained still as he was processing the events that just occurred, and did not notice the zombie approaching towards him from behind. Sophie yelled for him to watch out yet it was too late as Wilbur detonated the grenade on himself while being attacked by the zombie. He logged out of the server following his death.

Phil relinquished the possession of the real Pee Dog to Sophie and revealed the dog's location to Sophie and KaraCorvus, thus concluding the war. The latter had rushed over to Port-aux-Francais upon hearing that the dog was murdered, unaware that it was a decoy, and demanded to witness the dog's return to Sophie in a healthy state. Phil had hidden Pee Dog underneath the right portion of the palace's grand staircase, where both Sophie and Kara were overjoyed upon first glance. Phil then facilitated the removal of the dog from the palace's premises and handed the boat over to Sophie for her grand return journey to Brittany.

* The Fourth Dragon Egg remained in the possession of the Antarctic Empire even though it was meant to be returned to Marioloogi.
	+ Ph1LzA had stated numerous times that he intended to return the egg to its rightful owner, Sneegsnag. Yet when he informed him that he had managed to retrieve it, Sneeg responded that Phil should keep it instead as he was online more anyhow.
* Wilbur's chat remains wary of his decisions due to his failure as a hostage negotiator.
* Phil gained the title of "The Angel of Death" due to his finishing blow against Wilbur during the war.

## Audience Reaction

Day 54

* When Phil arrived at Brittany, Wilbur explained to his chat how the conflict had begun: During the SMPEarth Moon Landing event, he had snatched up the Fourth Dragon Egg and logged out before Phil could kill him. As the Antarctic Empire collected eggs, he explained that they wanted the Egg from him and kidnapped Pee Dog to force him to give it up. The chat filled with cries of "Liar" and "Lies", with one commenter revealing that Sneegsnag was the original owner. Wilbur denied their accusations, and continued, stating that he may have a trick or two up his sleeve.
* Wilbur requested that Pee Dog be returned, though upon polling the chat, they were overwhelmingly not in favor of returning the dog. The poll showed over 60% of the viewers did not support him, even as Sophie begged for the return of Pee Dog to her. Wilbur stated that Pee Dog was so important to his viewers, that he did not know why they had voted against him. Phil granted him another chance for a poll though, and the viewers voted to give the dog to Sophie after she explained that she was the one who truly fed and took care of Pee Dog. Pete declared that she was Antarctic Empire worthy, though she refused to leave her builds.

Reaction following The Second Dragon Egg War:

* Many commenters took to Reddit following the second war to voice their displeasure over the war. In constrast, this war was viewed in a highly positive light, as it was short, to the point, and no BM took place.

## Trivia

* Though the original owner of the Fourth Dragon Egg is Sneegsnag, the main combatants consisted of his allies, the Antarctic Empire.
* This marks the first war held over any Dragon Eggs. It is also the first war where parts of it took place on The Moon.
* The war's end day (54) was a reversal of the day it began (45).
* Ph1LzA received the title the "Angel of Death" after using his elytra to kill Wilbur on the French Bridge.
