Carrot-Potato Conflict

The **Carrot-Potato Conflict** was a two-week long conflict between the Potato Empire and the then-newly-formed Carrot Empire. It took place during a major period in Realmplex history which saw the beginning of what later became the Carrot Republic, as well as the founding of PMI. These circumstances created the foundations for the Great Farms Race, Fool’s War, ARK massacre, and eventually culminated in the Great Realmplex War. The conflict sparked the introduction of politics and war to the server, forever changing how countries operate inside of Realmplex and how the server identifies as a whole.

The conflict started during the server's one year anniversary period, when RoryRDMB seized control over the Potato Temple and surrounding lands by replacing all potatoes with carrots, and changing the lettering on the Potato Temple to say “*CARROT*” instead of “*POTATO*”, declaring the Carrot Empire. Upon hearing about this TaylorWorld, the Potato King, abandoned work on the server’s Anniversary Area and demanded that the newly formed Carrot Empire returned all land back to potato, RoryRDMB refused this offer, and doubled down by creating more farmland for carrots. EPCNZ, a member of Potato, took matters into his own hands and attempted to blow up RoryRDMB’s house.

Realising things would escalate to war if something wasn’t done, TaylorWorld called a truce, which meant that for two weeks there would be no direct conflict inside or outside the Carrot Empire's territory. He did this so that the server would still be able to celebrate it's One Year Anniversary that Taylor had been working on for months. RoryRDMB and his newly appointed minister of defense, FrenziedRaptor begrudgingly agreed, although didn’t try very hard to obey the cease-fire, building a wall around the territory.

RoryRDMB, knowing that his foothold in Potato couldn’t last forever, decided to make a new colony in the continent of Braxia, which became known as the Carrot Sanctuary. In this new land, he started work on both the Carrot Castle and a creeper farm, the latter of which he could use to make nuclear weapons. He also built mines, which, if a carrot that was above it was broken, then a large amount of TNT minecarts would be set off, TaylorWorld considered this act as a war crime, and refused to negotiate with Carrot Empire unless it was an unconditional surrender.

Taylor, wanting to find Carrot Sanctuary as soon as possible to gain some leverage, enlisted help from two Potato members, AliahX and Jom. Before long, the trio found Carrot Castle and built their own, smaller castle on top of a nearby mountain, called Mt. Minelympus. Upon finding out, RoryRDMB decided that he would not tolerate any entry to Carrot Sanctuary, said that anyone entering Carrot territory would be killed. FrenziedRaptor blew up the Castle on Mt. Minelympus against RoryRDMB’s wishes, distressing TaylorWorld. RoryRDMB and FrenziedRaptor, also launched an excursion against the Potato Resistance, a secret base for Potato made by AliahX while Taylor worked on the Anniversary Area. The excursion ended poorly, helping heat up an already tense truce.

As the end of the two-week truce rapidly approached and Potato Empire members became more and more angered with the Carrot Empire and of course with TAITHELEGEND destroying carrots in the occupied Potato territory, the result nearly getting himself banned by the server owner, Kiddorox. RoryRDMB decided he needed to do something that was radical, so he offered to give the Potato Empire back all the occupied territory, leaving only Carrot Sanctuary to his empire, in exchange for Potato Empire never bothering Carrot Empire again. Potato members and the Potato Resistance who had already been preparing for all out war to retake the territory were very confused by this but happy that the land was back in Potato hands. TaylorWorld and RoryRDMB formally signed the Treaty of Marineville on 18th March 2022, marking an end to this tense moment in Realmplex history. The Temple was now back in Potato hands for now.

The conflict set off a domino effect that led to multiple events over history that challenged the existence of the Potato Empire, including the Great Realmplex War, the United Crop Coalition, the Femboy conflict and the United Realmplex Alliance.
