Second Parabellum Civil War

## Prelude

The First Parabellum Civil War has ended, The Bakisist faction came out victorious. The community of Parabellum was on its way to recovery and was undergoing a nice & stable 1900 historical U RP. During this time the server saw some of the most peaceful and stable RPs until them. Around this time, the server received an unprecedentedly good roleplayer & GM. Roleplaying as the Vatican while being responsible for more than half of the server's GM results, Jeanne d'Arc became a renowned member of the staff team and very quickly became a moderator. Eventually she expressed will to help the server by automating some of its GM features through a bot.[1] Bakisa created a blank server to try out the bot's features, however he decided to leave it for tomorrow. On that same day, Azur was modifying the roles of the server, accidentally moving the "Bots" role below the "Moderators" role. Tomorrow morning, 27th of June around 3AM, Jeanne d'Arc added the bot to the server and nuked it. This event was devastating for Parabellum. Less than a month after the first civil war, the server faces another crisis. Upon discussion with noaoah, whose relations have improved and an independent member's research into the situation, it was concluded that this was not the doing of noaoah but rather Jeanne d'Arc's independent doing.

Upon further discussion with noaoah, it was decided to move all of the members and assets to the original Parabellum, however still under noaoah's ownership. Due to the nature of the situation, this was reluctantly accepted. The server roleplay would continue there under the full control of Bakisa & Azur. Roleplay was relatively stable, the server also hit 500 members, making it the second largest English-speaking NRP on Disboard. There have also been generally no issues with the permissions regarding any of the staff. However, by late July and early August, the members hostility towards noaoah grew. Eventually the members would widely demand noaoah transfer ownership to Bakisa, however he would not give in. Eventually he claimed he wishes to transfer ownership but is not able to due to his poor connection due to him being on a vacation in south France. Eventually, noaoah would decide to transfer ownership to Iskander. Iskander would claim he would do not much more than resolve staff conflicts. During this time, the roadmen have become increasingly popular as well as controversial. A split in the server occurred regarding the fate of their most flamboyant member, Levtss. One side advocated for his ban while another enjoyed his companion. The most important opposition between these two sides was among Bakisa & Azur, where Azur advocated for his ban and Bakisa opposed it. During this, Iskander was silent, not doing his only job. Consequently, under immense pressure, noaoah forced Iskander to return the ownership to him. However, before doing so, Iskander gave himself a role higher than both Bakisa and Azur. This would serve as the last straw making primarily Bakisa work on Operation Grand Escape.

Using the tupperbox bot, Bakisa would transfer loads of resources and assets to a new server such as the #u-archive or messages from #announcements. During this time, Bakisa has been chatting with Jeanne d'Arc. Bakisa spoke to Jeanne about the situation Parabellum is in. Jeanne was an avid Christian catholic, and offered to try and help Bakisa. She took a photo of herself swearing with a rosary not to ever ban Bakisa. This has made it clear that she has intentions to trick him. Eventually, Bakisa attempted to be cunning and trick Jeanne into thinking he wants to nuke Parabellum and move back to another one. In reality Jeanne would be used only as a staff asset due to her amazing previously-observed GMing skills. A few days later, Iskander and another relatively unimportant user, TheBoringRhodesian, found a Wikipedia feature which allowed for warboard editing. Iskander instantly made 2 new channels to the already channel-stuffed Parabellum. Bakisa & Azur deleted it, however Iskander was persistent and eventually removed the owners' permission to delete channels. Azur would begin hinting at Bakisa that perhaps it is time to launch the operation Grand Escape. Not even 10 minutes after Azur's suggestion, Bakisa saw in the logs that Jeanne has just been unbanned by Iskander. They both understood what this meant. A moment afterwards, they were both fully derolled. Jeanne joined the server and was granted immediate admin powers. Bakisa & Azur were banned with most of the staff derolled. The 21st of August, 16:16 [CEST] marks the beginning of the Second Parabellum Civil War.

## War

Noaoah was still largely inactive, allowing Iskander to become the *de-facto* owner of the original Parabellum. Jeanne invited her friends to fill up the places of the removed staff team, some of which included the nukers of the Parabellum created as a consequence of the First Parabellum Civil War. The effect of the Jeanne's friends was greatly visible. The server was renamed to "Victoria" and its logo was changed. For a difference, the usurpers this time had nearly no support by the playerbase. This lead to over 150 members leaving the server in the first 3 days of the war. Spies sent to Victoria were amazingly successful, with none of them ever being banned and all of those who tried to infiltrate the staff team succeeding. Jeanne has greatly underestimated the capabilities of the Parabellum's army, best seen by the fact that their attempts to lure out alts were by banning accounts which were younger than 2 days. As a part of the campaign, on Parabellum's side, the Nation RP Advertising Hub was occupied to further isolate Victoria from the NRP community. Two infiltrators, Posh & darkie, have been able to accumulate moderate permissions inside of the servers with which they damaged Victoria through removing emojis, kicking around a dozen members & deleting some roles. The operation was a success however a blunder was done by Posh as he initially accidentally removed roles of Parabellum proper. Otherwise, There have been a number of successful psyops, such as tricking them into taking down all of their invites with a false raid.

The day after, as a result of the ongoing talks with the admins, 8-bit man, of the Broken Promises server in an attempt to deroll Iskander from the staff in the server, one of the admins of BP have managed to mediate talks between Iskander & Bakisa. On 25th of August, the Treaty of Parabellum was signed. Both parties have agreed to it and all that was left to do was hold the election. An issue eventually arised during the election. A random member, HungryTiger, ran as the third candidate as a joke. Iskander, as he saw he has no chance of winning the election, agreed to have him as the third candidate since Tiger agreed that it be a coalition. Bakisa himself voted for Tigs (HungryTiger) for the fun. Later on, Mesa, misunderstanding the situation, removed all of the votes for Tigs. As a result of this, all members began rioting, chanting the elections has been stolen. Iskander used this as an excuse to tear the Treaty of Parabellum, banning Azur & Bakisa from Victoria, restarting the civil war. Despite the LARP regarding the election, Tigs admits the whole thing was a joke. After this, Victoria never recovered its activity. Each day preformed worse than the one before. Victoria's staff team has also worked extensively to purge the n-words from the server. They have initially resorted to deleting entire channels, resulting in outrage from the playerbase. Due to this, #domestic-news channel was allowed to remain. Victoria's staff team eventually gave up on 29th of August, with Jeanne creating her own server and purging Victoria. All members would be banned and all channels deleted except #domestic-news and staff channels.

## Conclusion

The war lasted for about 8 days, with immense success for Parabellum. Eventually, on 13 of November, following some sort of reconciliation with noaoah, he returned ownership of the original Parabellum to Bakisa. Despite the terrible defeat Jeanne d'Arc and her band faced, the fight against her was not over. Already in December of the same year Jeanne attempted to shake Parabellum by instigating the Bakisa nuking allegations.
