The Battle of Lagom

The Battle of Lagom was the first battle in the Microwave-TSS War. It took place on the 14th October 2020 between the attackers - a combined force of M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E and the Acolytes of Lag - and The Secret Society, who were attempting to defend their town(s). It ended up as a victory for M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E, however they failed to accomplish their main goal of eliminating Gelato and Lagom in one day.

### Background

Earlier in the day before the battle, M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E was assembling an army to attack The Secret Society. They had merged plans to defeat TSS with the Acolytes of Lag, recruited Nolahn to their cause and acquired coordinates to Lagom. They initially planned to wait a couple of weeks so everyone could be available for the grief, but then commandervv messaged EdgyCommunist69, claiming to be giving him coordinates to Gelato, the capital of TSS. In reality, this was a ploy set up by TSS to attempt to get a few kills on M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E members, though they were unaware of that. When Tynominally heard, he insisted that they went to the coordinates and griefed the base as soon as possible, and so M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E hastily mobilised and began going towards the coordinates. As a result of the lack of preparation, the attacking force was quite far apart from each other.

### Atomic's Trap

The portal coords that commandervv sent to EdgyCommunist69 was indeed a trap, and TooAtomic was waiting on the other side with end crystals. Edgy sprung the trap and managed to escape, warning the others, but he attempted to go back through the portal, leading Atomic to crystalling and killing him.

Afterwards, CrankyNomad, HappyUnBirthday and Nolahn arrived at the trapped location and began fighting with Atomic and ohKast. Nolahn mostly dominated the fight, though much to his annoyance Atomic and Kast mostly stayed in water to stop themselves from being crystalled.

### Fight at Lagom

EdgyCommunist69 had regeared at spawn and at his base, and with Tynominally and a Lumen memberillo30 went off to grief Lagom. They were able to grief in peace until Edgy accidentally loaded Atomic's pearl in an attempt to trap him, and pvp began. Atomic left to load Kast's pearl, which bought Edgy and Ty time to gear up for a fight, and so a 2v2 began. a lumen member did not wish to be known as a griefer at that point, so he stayed out of it.

Atomic and Edgy mostly focused on each other, not really bothering with the other members of the fight until they crossed paths by chance. The fight lasted a while, with Edgy popping many of Atomic's totems. It climaxed when Edgy pulled off a successful manuever where he hit Atomic into the air and crystalled him, leading Atomic to pearl into a hole, where he was spammed by crystals until he died.

After Atomic died, LoneMiner247 would show up and attempt to kill Edgy, Ty and a lumen member with crystals, along with OhKast. The pair caught Edgy off guard when he was collecting Atomic's stuff, which led him to blow up the majority of it. Cohesion was not exactly one of Lone and Kast's strongest areas however, as Kast blew up Lone on accident. Edgy had to leave soon after, and so all that remained was Ty and a lumen member. Kast would manage to kill a lumen member, which revealed him.

### Aftermath

After the battle, it was revealed that Lagom had been abandoned a few weeks previously due to fears of a Lumen member\_minecraft leaking the town after being kicked. Varva would later be abandoned due to TSS's suspicion of benchkcb leaking that and Lagom.
