Chaos Day

Memorial to Chaos Day in Pavaria, Jonasland.

* JVTA's days-without-death counter reset for the first time since December 2022
* Name Pending and Ravine Town declared "neutral territories"
* Beginning of the Tranquil Era

**Chaos Day** was a major unplanned event on Realmplex that occurred amidst the removal of Underscore as server moderator, on March 16th, 2023. During this time, Cube and Trombone\_13 departed the server, while SandwichPress and Mouthnoseear were both banned, though temporarily, for hacking. After this, amidst an emergency session of the Potato Council, Cube was briefly let back on by Underscore rejoined to murder JVTA as a supposed prank, an action that furthered JVTA's support for the Anti-Underscore movement. Underscore subsequently resigned soon after, preemptively removing himself before any actions against him could be taken.

Following the incident, Name Pending and Ravine Town were declared neutral territories, though days later, Name Pending was given to Jonasland and renamed. Thailand also requested that it's territory lost in the Potato Plains dispute be returned.

The event led the server into what PMI dubbed the Tranquil Era, which soon concluded after the outbreak of the Second Great Realmplex War. Following the incident, PMI and The Jonasland Tribune both added black crosses to their webpages. On March 31st, a vote was held to decide who would succeed Underscore as admin. SandwichPress would subsequently and unexpectedly be elected. Ironically, SandwichPress herself would cause controversy, and she resigned in mid-April of 2023.

## Background

### Internal conflict within Femboy Land/The Gays

In the weeks prior to Chaos Day, conflict had sparked amongst The Gays. LEAN LOVER, who had previously been banned from Realmplex, had been attempting to rejoin, though this was opposed by the then-admin, Underscore. Underscore's actions were supported by Olivetoastt and AliahX.

LEAN LOVER, however, found support from SandwichPress, Clamlum, and Jom. Upon learning of this, it is presumed that Underscore supposedly ceased to be biased towards their group. In reaction to this, the trio decided to attempt to topple him from his position. JVTA, who had for a short while at this point had been viewing Underscore as a slightly biased admin, supported the effort to remove Underscore, though they publicly claimed neutrality to avoid reprecussions.

### Conflict involving JVTA and Cube

Conflict had been brewing between JVTA and their friend group (consisting of Underscore, Cube, and Trombone\_13) in the months prior. JVTA had repeatedly been bullied under the guise of "friendly banter" over their appearance. JVTA was a staunch individualist and refused to follow their demands for them to, as JVTA worded it, "mold".

## Events

### Early hours

In the early hours of March 16th, 2023, Cube and Trombone\_13 quietly left Realmplex. Upon noticing this, discussion sparked amongst Realmplex members as to why this happened.

### Murder of JVTA and Underscore's resignation

Cube had not been dewhitelisted from Realmplex by TaylorWorld at the request of Underscore. This was so they could pull "a prank" on JVTA; this prank involved murdering JVTA, something JVTA, who had a "days without death" counter, was not fond of. Amidst the Potato Empire's secret meeting, Cube logged on to the server, claiming he was restarting Name Pending and invading the whole server. This sparked some confusion amongst the Potato government.

JVTA, seeking to instate what they saw as a way to permanently ban an individual while they worked on a project, travelled to Pavaria, a city in Jonasland, to work on an apartment block. It was at this point that TaylorWorld left. While building, Cube entered the construction site and began attacking JVTA. JVTA, who was still in a voice chat with some members of Potato's government, began asking SpecShark and Clamlum for assistance. In an attempt to leave the scene, JVTA placed a boat and began to sail away, but this boat was broken by Cube, who managed to murder JVTA just as Clamlum arrived at the scene.

Despite Cube's quick admission that the stunt was a prank, JVTA lashed out at Cube. Clamlum immediately declared the stunt an act of war, a statement that McTwoPoint0 and SpecShark agreed with. Cube subsequently left. Clamlum and SpecShark pinpointed his logout coordinates, and prepared for the possibility he logged back in. JVTA, at this point, messaged Trombone\_13 about the incident, to which Trombone\_13 told JVTA to "get fucked by [their] yellow boots".

A few moments after the incident, Underscore published his statement of resignation, and attempted to designate Ravine Town and Name Pending as "neutral territory".

## Aftermath

### Future actions by Underscore and allies

On April 17th, 2023, Underscore mass-edited the wiki, locking pages, removing JVTA as moderator of the wiki, and making the claim that Name Pending still existed. In response, various members of the server transferred over to a new wiki, one without interference from Underscore.

AliahX quietly left the server sometime in April of 2023, due to SandwichPress taking over hosting duties.

During the debate over SpecShark's slur ban, Olivetoastt announced his support for SpecShark's decision. However, after doing so, he left, stating that he had been intending to do that before noticing the debate.

Sometime in May of 2023, SandwichPress announced that Cube and Trombone\_13 had attempted to log onto Realmplex, presumably to log the new IP. Their failure caught the attention of JVTA, who laughed at the idea that they were trying to log on.

On November 7th, 2023, Cube made a surprise return to the TaylorWorld Discord. Interestingly, JVTA slowly became okay with this change of events.
