Day 27

**Day 27** took place on 18 December 2019. It followed the events of Day 26 and was followed by the events of Day 28.

## Major Events

### The Battle of the Bridges

* TommyInnit attempted to launch an ambush against Technoblade at Technoblade's Palace as the latter was still preparing for the battle.
	+ Both parties were disappointed upon realizing that the anticipated *Wednesday War* may not be as grand as they advertised.
		- The entirety of Packle alongside Tommy's own faction member, Wispexe, were offline.
	+ The two engaged in a short duel, which was unofficially dubbed the "*8 Second War*", stemming from Techno's sarcastic reply regarding the length of the fight (which was actually around 30 seconds).
	+ Ph1lza and Sneegsnag had logged on to the server in order to prepare for the speculated war, yet they were met with disappointment as they merely spectated the duel.
	+ Tommy arrived for a second round, where he was once again killed by Techno and was assisted with some attacks by Phil.
	+ Techno took pity on Tommy and asked if any other players wanted to lend him assistance for the time being.
* Tommy then requested Techno to travel with him to Antarctic South Africa for negotiations, offering the latter a seat on his plane.
	+ Techno was hesitant and followed Tommy in his own plane instead.
* Suspicious of the location picked for said negotiations, Techno correctly guessed that the flat desert location was a trap. He elaborated, pointing out the unusual single sand block that was placed a level above the surface.
	+ Tommy attempted to destroy the sand below Techno, revealing an entity cramming trap that the former had constructed. Tommy's ploy was unsuccessful, however, as he failed to lure Techno into the pit.
	+ Tommy was killed by Techno three more times as Grunk watched in disappointment.
	+ Tommy successfully knocked Techno into the pit once but the latter did not take damage. It is assumed that Techno unknowingly altered the trap slightly.
		- It is likely that the minecarts and boats he fell on did not carry any momentum, thus Techno did not suffer any damage. For more information, refer to the Rails Experiment.
* Timotainment and Thunder1408 arrived to spectate the fight. Shortly afterwards, Sylvee, Sneeg, and Phil joined the audience as well.
	+ Out of curiosity, Grunk, Syvlee, and Timo jumped in the trap and were successfully killed. After respawning, Grunk began to dismantle the trap by breaking the entities using a bow and arrow.
* Bored with the menial and repetitive battle, Techno requested that members of the audience lend Tommy their forces, with Techno, Sneeg, and Phil on one side, against Tommy, Sylvee, and Grunk on the other side. The fight started after a 15-second countdown and was known as the *The Battle of Pit*, or dubbed the "Fight over the Failure Pit" by Techno.
	+ Techno consumed multiple potions including a potion of the Turtle Master and launched an ender pearl towards the opposing team, taking no damage due to the potion effects and began to attack all 3 members before mainly targeting Grunk.
	+ Tommy chased after Sneeg, who had inferior gold armor, yet the latter was still able to overpower Tommy on his own before Techno jumped in and killed Tommy.
	+ Sylvee was the last remaining member of Tommy's side and was able to hold off the combined strengths of Phil, Techno, and Sneeg. This was with the help of her high-enchanted gear and many golden apples.
		- She temporarily fled the area with a plane after realizing her defences were depleting and was not killed by any of the members on the rivalling side.
	+ During this time, FitMC was travelling to the fight was disappointed to have arrived at the last second. He brought several End Crystals with him and was upset that he could not use them during the battle.
	+ Sylvee died from a creeper explosion right after the fight concluded.
* A conference was held where a temporary armistice was declared, where the Treaty of Pit was ratified. Tommy claimed that it was illegitimate after discovering one of the treaty's terms.
	+ ScotGriswold arrived to the situation and joined the group right before Tommy began his speech.
	+ Several of the players present mocked Tommy while he was delivering a speech, resulting in his death once more.
	+ Infuriated, Tommy declared all those who attacked him as enemies, including Sylvee, who was still his ally up until his declaration.
		- Tommy attempted to reverse his decision, but Sylvee revealed that it was too late and she declared him as an enemy as well.
* After the battle, the Antarctic Empire established a formal alliance with the Bean Empire after the members of the Antarctic Empire as well as their audiences were impressed by Sylvee's PvP prowess.
* Packle did not participate in the Wednesday War, unlike previously speculated. It was confirmed that they will go to war with the Antarctic Empire at a later date. VoiceOverPete suggested that it may occur later in the day.
	+ After defeating Tommy, Phil and Sneeg planted provocative pictures and messages around Packle's base in an attempt to escalate tensions.
		- Wuna301 confirmed that Packle will retaliate for these actions. He mentioned that he cannot speak for the whole faction, but that he personally desired to respond in small ways, presumably pranks.
		- He also claimed that Packle will put up a better fight against the Antarctic Empire than Tommy did, lamenting Tommy's dismal fate and assuring to his audience that Packle shouldn't be "count[ed] out".

### Other Events

* Technoblade finally received Floof alongside other gifts as part of the diplomatic quest sought by ScotGriswold to formally establish an alliance with the Antarctic Empire.
	+ He was ecstatic at the gift and bonded with Scot over the horrors of long-distance livestock shipping, however he still declined to ally with New Hawaii.
	+ VoiceOverPete officially forgave Scot for his misbehaviour on Day 25, which can be considered a small success for the latter.
* Technoblade revealed that the Antarctic Empire will soon be getting a new member, though Ph1LzA and Sneegsnag prevented him from revealing who said member will be.
* Phil, Sneeg, and Pete explored the mysterious prismarine islands off the coast of Antarctica, believing them to have something to do with the undiscovered Ocean Monument.
	+ Phil attempted to enter the strange bedrock block on the larger island and was unsuccessful as he discovered that it was solid.

* Pete is accused of x-raying after ending his stream and suspiciously locating diamonds quickly thereafter.
* Packle adopted their new flag.
