Catboy Castle

## Background

Catboy Castle was a Minecraft Server running from early-mid November to early February. Said server brought on much creativity from pretty much everyone, and eventually lore was added, turning CC from a casual Minecraft server to a semi-serious roleplay server. The Catboy Castle lore is going through a reboot.

## Lore

The Lore around the server was built through maps, flags, videos, paragraphs, and characters, many of whom are just mirror characters in a military position.

## World War 3

In the early 1970s, the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union escalated to WW3 after the US accidentally discharged a nuke toward the northern ocean of the Union.  The Soviet Union declared war on the U.S and returned with 1 nuke targeting New York City of the United States.  In the wake of the explosions, both the First and Second World assembled themselves and their allies.  The World War lasted 8 years, ending with the US victorious through now unknown yet frightening circumstances, and the U.S called for the dissolving of the Soviet Union, several prominent countries arose, such as Yestin, Yestokaine, and Yesvalda.

## Post World War 3 Gold Rush

Immediately after the war, some of the technology used in both the Cold and World War was revealed, which allowed a new generation of technology.  A tech gold rush opened up.  Many advancements in aviation, weapons, and science were made.  Toward the end of the 20th century, peace treaties and alliances began.  Some of these alliances were created by modern pirates and terrorists, such as the Band Of Pirates and Allegiance Of Anarchists.  In response, the Americas formed the Sky Dock Pact, and a previously hidden country publicized itself as the Halensjury Kingdom, which highly disapproved of the makeshift Allegiances formed the P Division.

## SDP-Pirate Cold War-Catboy Castle Construction

A new Cold War begins in 2009 and continues to this day, between the Americas SDP and the Atlantic Band of Pirates.  In 2014, many of the world’s Allegiances and governments came together to designate a small pocket where most to all of the countries and factions of the world have a neutral, no combat zone.  A city-sized portion of land had been carved out in the coastal regions of the Atlantis Hyperborea and embassies were constructed, and many of the original residents aligned themselves with a country or faction.  In 2019, the project was completed, and the area was christened The Cold Corner, nicknamed Catboy Castle due to one of the tall embassies built.

## The Winter Shortage

In December 2020, tension began to boil in CC due to a resource shortage. The SDP decides to go through the local Portal to Heck to look for resources and acquire enough energy to enchant their equipment. Neri, the Lead Ambassador of the SDP departed for the portal back early and both members, Zephyr and Jojoman remained in Heck for a little longer and passed out of heatstroke. Zephyr wakes earlier and survives the troubling trek back, having forgot the path, leaving Jojoman to do the same much later.

## Escalating Tensions

Neri, representing Yesvalda, joined the SDP in 2010 and defected the SDP alongside Jojoman, to join the ranks of the AA, leaving several dead, and damage to the SDP Embassy workshop and elevator.  The death count continues to rise and a new ambassador, Zephyr, was appointed to run the SDP Embassy.

## World War IV/War on Anarchy

Many of the factions are accusing each other, the only faction/country not involved in this time of anger is the Orchard Kingdom of Switzerland, who immediately begin covert production of weapons and supplies to deliver to either side to remain neutral.  Embassies and leaders begin mobilizing operations in 2021, soldiers are seen waiting in line to enchant weapons and tools.  Governments around the world are requesting and are constructing underground bunkers in case of of the use of nuclear weapons. Trenches are beginning to be dug at the Western Coast of Atlantis, as Neri challenges Alan, Shipbuilder, and Founder of the BOP to a fistfight, best of 3, to which Neri loses all.  The Orchard Kingdom of Switzerland shipped 36 IDD's to the SDP, as U.S and Iran tensions began to boil again.  The Israel-Palestine conflict reaches a critical point, as Hong Kong protesters stage their largest move yet. As tensions rise further than ever, chaos erupts in the CC, as Anarchists and Pirates backstab each other, shootouts begin on small farms and behind houses, trenches stretch further and further like roots in soil.  Material miners are stuck in the ice caves as ambassadors ran their fade.  As the trenches are slow, cannons, launchers, and Infantry Decimation Drones arrive to the fronts.  Anarchists, wield war crimes in a weapon; modified Molotov cocktails, stackable grenades, bottles of sulfuric acid, vials of manganese heptoxide, and most terrifying of all, the garden hose flamethrower.  They ravage the close quarter’s area of trench combat, so much so that the Band of Pirates disapprove, opting for more stealth, stealing important supplies and materials.  Cannons and anti-material cannons go off every minute, shaking the battlefield, spraying so much water some would say it rained for days.  Battle did not just take place on land, as the height dwelling people of Halensjury were, they solely fought via aviation, launching their mile wide sky forts, sniper rigs, and performed bombing runs. The Band of Pirates were formidable at sea, firing cannons, invading, brutalizing the crew, and sinking ships were their specialty, often destroying turret bunkers and IDD’s.  The Anarchist’s greatest advantage was their craftiness and carelessness for the rules, often committing war crimes only to have their spine torn from their body by an IDD.  The SDP specialized in more organized attacks, often charging into battle in groups composed of Drones, shields, and riflemen.  Piledrivers stomp their way through, and shake the Earth, turning combatants into puree, renaming the stretch of land between enemies as the Meat Grinder. Stolen cannons are fired, sniper bullets rain from above, IDD’s tearing out spine after spine, Railguns launching projectile after projectile, 56 pounders and anti-material mortars going off, flame blows fired, and soldiers suffocate on carbon monoxide.
