Battle of Heligoland

The battle of Heligoland was a major battle in a smaller border war between Germany and Edornia. The battle resulted in a German victory. Other participating nations were the UK and Sweden, as well as fiji (spectators).

**Background**

The battle was a part of an Edornian-German border conflict where the leader of Edornia tried to make battle stations for the upcoming war (that never happened). The first station (unnamed) was east of Rügen and was quickly countered by the German leader Rifnee building a fort right next to it. It was when both Rifnee and Banana nations called in reinforcements that the first shots were fired. It's unclear who shot first, but rumours have it that it was the Edornians. A tank was brought in by the Germans, but only to try to access a blocked deadchest. after a while the Edornians gave up and went to the northwest of Hamburg where they started construction on the Heligoland station. This station was also quickly countered by the German Bremen station. The Bremen station was a fort while the Heligoland station was an artificial island. but both sides built exessive defensive fortifications.

**The battle**

The battle started when the swedish leader, Mrstardom came to aid Rifnee, and Banana nations called his own allies in. There were never a declared war, but that did not stop the bloodshed. At first Banana nations swam over to the Bremen station and killed Mrstardom multiple times, but many times he himself was killed by Rifnee or stardom himself. Rifnee would use his sniper to shoot Banana nations allies from afar. The Cactus powers (Edornia, and the UK) responded by building walls and roofs. This was when things got serious, as more and more players got involved, new ways of killing was tried out. Banana nations for example blew up a part of the Bremen station two times. This was considered griefing and would get Banana in a lot of trouble. As well as this, the Cactus powers blocked deadchests, that resulted in one german player losing everything. This destroyed Edornias reputation (especially among staff) and many attempts on getting Banana banned was carried out. The germans brought in bomber planes to try to blow their way to the deadchests, which would somewhat succeed. After a while the cactus powers started using suicide vests and killed multiple germans and swedes. The germans adopted this strategy, using invis pots to get behind enemy lines and quickly getting their suicide vests on, before blowing up. After a German flanking manouver and more bombing, the cactus powers retreated to South Africa, leaving the Central Powers with sweet victory.

**Peace treaty**

As of right now the treaty is not yet finished, but multiple attempts were made. A staff member called Tattoo gamer made multiple group chats with all of the participants of the battle, but it turned to chaos, instead he opted to make a group chat with three people: himself, Varas(representative of the UK), and Rifnee. Now neither Banana Nations nor Mrstardom were added, because it was thought it would lead to chaos, this greatly upset Stardom, which made his nation break ties with Germany, only for the two to become allies minutes later. Banana Nations has not yet talked about this event, and has been very silent since the battle, not beeing on, nor reply to @ in the server. The peace treaty the three men came up with were: Both Banana\_Nations and Mrstardom gets banned, Edornia has to remove their stations, and all cbs of the nations involving each other are removed. This treaty never came into effect because a furious Stardom objected that a treaty could not ban anyone. And he was right. But many people want Banana nations banned after multiple reports, calls, etc. So far he has not been banned but the future is uncertain. The battle of Heligoland was the most notable event of stonecutter season 8 so far.
