Day 13

**Day 13**took place on 4 December 2019. It followed the events of Day 12 and was followed by the events of Day 14.

## Major Events

### The ARG

* Around 1 am, KaraCorvus was sent by members of the ARG team from the SMPEarth Discord to submit some password attempts to the BIGPRISM Computer in the Laramie Online Office.
	+ Signs were discovered an unknown player (presumably an admin), directly stating that LaramieOnline was the correct guess for the password.
	+ After inputting it into the machine, a broadcast message was sent across the server saying that at *12:00 AM GMT* (7 pm), "files" will be "ready". This message came with the "ender dragon defeat" sound.
	+ Startups finished at 7:23 pm. A new sign appeared above the hopper saying *INSERT ITEM*.
	+ Upon inserting an item, a menu appeared. Kara updated the system first.
* A new message was sent to the server containing a link that downloaded some files.
	+ A new site was found leading to a shortened URL. The site is a download for files. Among these files included a webpage HTLM doc titled *We Live In A Stellad Octahedron!* which provided information on the company opposing Laramie Online, as well as additional information on Mariah Camrey and the Merkabah religion.
	+ Also included were some text files that could be decoded.
* After "clearing cache", Kara received 32 diamonds.
* A message was sent, saying that a "portal" had opened in the "southwest division", and warned not to go alone. Kara, Sneegsnag, and AntVenom attempted to head first to the Southwest Octangula, then the sundial in the wilderness claim, and then the most southwest corner of the map. At each location, there was a book signed by "Warren" describing how each location was incorrect, and taunting the ARG solvers.

### The German-Stal War

* The German Empire declared war on Stal, as the latter had an issue with scattered claiming of land across continents.
* Svyoshi left Packle to join the German Empire after he and Jawsh agreed to declare war on Stal.
* KaraCorvus offered to assist AntVenom with airstrikes, yet the German Empire threatened Kara to cease her involvement.
* The two began to negotiate for peace.
	+ The German Empire demanded 15 diamonds and the borders to be fixed.
	+ AntVenom said he couldn't agree on the diamonds but could fix the borders in the Arctic.
	+ Jawsh demanded, "All borders or no deal".
	+ AntVenom defended New England, saying that it was fine, but that he could clean up the back of the Arizona claim.
	+ Jawsh countered saying that New England was not fine.
	+ AntVenom proposed that he would clean up the Arctic claim, and unclaim the extra space in Arizona, in exchange for peace.
	+ Jawsh brought up the "huge empty areas" west and northeast.
	+ AntVenom said that these were from the auto-claim being broken.
	+ RTGame and Sylvee asked why everyone couldn't simply be friends. svyoshi said that they could be friends "once [AntVenom] rights his wrongs", to which AntVenom asked for his wrongs to be specified.
	+ Eventually, an agreement was reached:
		- In exchange for AntVenom "claiming the empty spots on New England and getting rid of the square", AntVenom would get peace with the German Empire.
		- AntVenom wrote the terms of the treaty down and sent it to Jawsh, who signed it as the Treaty of Berlin. AntVenom then made a copy and handed it to Jawsh.

### Other Events

* Kara announced in the Discord that she would be removing the numbers on the map from the Fake End Landing, as she was annoyed by people asking her to visit them and by people thinking they were a part of the ongoing ARG.
* Fit achieved his goal of claiming Cuba.
	+ He attempted to ask for a villager or Fortune III book.
* Thunder1408 died to a zombie and lost his items.
* QueenRhianna disbanded her faction, peskyvikings, and joined the German Empire.
* Jawsh announced on stream that he requested the wiki writers to call it "The Procurement of Constantinople", should he ever go into war with the Corvarian Empire soon.
* Pogland expanded its territorial claim extending its borders to those of the USSR.
	+ Jmak claimed Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Belarus.
