Meowgi-Cuban War

Remains of Cuba after the invasion

The Meowgi-Cuban War was a conflict between the Kingdom of Meowgi and the Cubans in the early days of Gay SMP Season 2, lasting from its initial launch to the 6th of April 2023.

It is unknown exactly *why* the war started, and it is arguable *who* truly instigated it. The Cubans (then, just Dom and Kyle) departed from the rest of the players at spawn and announced their intention to keep this independence at any cost. This irritated P1 who was hoping for a server where people would live together like GSMP1. A general sense of unease was created between the two newly found factions, and the conflict truly begun on April 1st, where there was an incident involving Dom and Kyle beating up Gunndrum at spawn. Their intent was jest, however Gunndrum held precious items and repeatedly asked the Cubans to stop which they did not, prompting Jakeoflash to begin attacking them, prompting P1 to join, and soon it became a full fight of which the Cubans retreated from. Excited over their "victory", the Meowgi worshippers hopped on boats and traveled across the lake to attack Cuba. There, they faced complete disaster, being completely unprepared for the Cubans' superior weaponry.

What followed was a period of no fighting but an intense race to craft supreme armor and weapons. Meanwhile, Gunndrum had "defected" to the Cuban side, serving as a double agent for Meowgi, and relaying vital information that they would use to win the war. Merrick and Rex joined the server on the side of the Cubans. Both sides developed their plans to invade the other, and on the 6th of April the Meowgis followed through with theirs. Gunndrum had helped create a giant deposit of TNT under the Cuban base, which had a remote lever in a secret temporary bunker not too far away. P1 essentially told the Cubans to "surrender or die" to which they did not take his ultimatum seriously. Therefore, the Meowgis set their plan into action, detonating the underground dynamite and destroying a critical portion of Cuba. A large fight followed, which spanned across the entire area and featured convenient and dramatic rain and lightning. Eventually the Cubans could not hold against the Meowgis and retreated to another base that they were building shortly before the invasion.

Gunndrum was still acting as a spy among the Cuban ranks. It is unknown if they genuinely did not suspect him or if they did but chose not to act, which is still perplexing. He was able to get the coordinates to the new base they had fallen back to, and the Meowgis set off to travel to the faraway objective. There, they stalked the Cubans on a hilltop overseeing their new homes for a while before sneaking down and hiding themselves in the wall. They were quickly uncovered by Merrick, but he did not immediately recognize them, mistaking them for Dom. They jumped out and trapped him with cobweb before repeatedly striking and finally killing Merrick. Dom rushed over to the scene, too late, watching with dread as his last bastion of hope in that dark hour of defeat was burned to the ground by the Meowgi soldiers.

He fell to his knees, his strongest ally dead, nowhere left to turn, and said "I thought the war was over." before leaving the game.

After a heated argument in voice chat, the Kingdom of Meowgi claimed victory. As per the rules 50% of the Cuban loot was returned. A treaty forbidding any conflict to occur for 5 days was signed, putting a formal end to the war.
