AFAB Riots

```
These events are considered so notable that they are a key period in between eras; concluding the Second Polynesian Golden Era and beginning the Post-AFAB Era. They are also considered a catalyst for The Little Crisis, the Time of Troubles, and the Third Republic of Polynesian Civil War.

The AFAB (All Feds Are Bastards) Movement riots, also known as the #OccupyCapital Movement Riots, were both the worst and most successful riots in Polynesian history. They lasted for 7 days and directly caused the abrupt end of the 13th RoP LeftCo Government, resulting in the Republic of Polynesia (RoP)'s collapse and temporary downfall into Jedi-led dictatorship. They were perpetrated by right wing and centrist individuals from Nova Contea against property laws and strove to pass a ban on all forms of taxes. Total anarchy and crime took hold over the nation for an entire week, and prominent community members such as Tsar\_\_Putin, Didneywurl4lif, and Asarokaa were permanently banned from Polynesia due to their roles in the riots. The AFAB riots could be seen as a follow-up to the January 2021 Election Crisis and the January 2021 Anti-Government Protests.

## **Naming Schemes**

* **The term "AFAB" (All Feds Are Bastards)** is a parody of the term "ACAB" (All Cops Are Bastards), being a satirical take on anti-police riots in the USA at the time. Although the members of the AFAB and Kaon Organizations don't support the ACAB movement, they thought it would be funny to base their cause off the movement since the phrase was easy to remember and slightly catchy if chanted enough in chat. The anti-establishment nature of the ACAB movement also complimented the anti-Government stance the rioters had quite well. The term AFAB wasn't used until day 2 of the riots, in which it was created and popularized by Leonski. Promotional materials such as the logo were made by Tsar.
* **The term #OccupyCapital**, which was the original name of the AFAB Organization from January 17-19, is based off of #OccupyWallstreet, an anti-economic inequality demonstration that took place in Wall Street, New York City in September 2011.
* **The term "Knights of Kaon"** is a mix between The *Knights* of Ren from Star Wars, and the name of Megatron's capital city, *Kaon*, from which he enacts his tyrannical rule as a Decepticon according to Transformers lore. Such a name was chosen since both the Knights of Ren and the Decepticons are antagonists within their respective franchises, which led to the Knights of Kaon adopting Megatron's slogan of "*Peace Through Tyranny*" as their motto.

## **Members of the AFAB (#OccupyCapital) Movement**

*Click **here** for information on the Knights of Kaon.*

The Movement was founded by UNB and Tsar on January 17, 2021. Kaiser considered joining the movement after the first day of rioting, but later decided to stay neutral. On the 21st, Bee left for private reasons. Due to suspicions that many members in the Movement might be sympathetic to the RoP Government, a separate Discord server was created on January 22nd in order to safeguard important information and spread false rumors, such as the rumor that UNB was fired from the movement at one point.

## **Motives of the Riots**

Many individuals in the Polynesian Centre and Right were alienated with what they considered as ineffective rule of several administrations. With a recent controversy regarding taxes and government property laws, many thought their democratic rights were under threat and took to the streets to protest. The protests soon turned into riots and borderline revolt due to police brutality. Many within the movement formed the Knights of Kaon Terror Organization, while a minority stayed as merely political rioters within the AFAB Movement or became neutral. However, in the final hours of the riots, the difference between the two organizations became blurred and participants in all sides (pro- and anti-government alike) became extremely violent, leading to the breakdown of Order and the envelopment of total anarchy in the nation for several days.

### **The Pro-RoP Government Perspective**

Influential pro-RoP Government figures such as Brit and Sealand saw the riots as nothing more than a coup attempt by Tsar to take over the server as a dictator. The AFAB Movement's anti-tax platform seemed pointless to them as well, since the 13th LeftCo Government declared that there were no plans to create a taxation system despite the failure of an anti-tax law in Parliament. By the end, some thought that the terrorism by the Knights of Kaon was a failed attempt to kill Polynesia as a whole following the temporary bans of the Kaon and AFAB leadership on the third day of the riots.

### **The Non-Contean Rioter's Perspective**

Though few in number, there were some who at some point supported the #OccupyCapital movement such as UNB or Jeffrey. Much of the Polynesian far left was also sympathetic to the movement although its members remained on the pro-government side since leftist leaders soon became targets of the movement.

**Motives**

For the non-leftist supporters, the bullying of former Prime Minister Bee by Britannia's Labour Party was still fresh on their mind. The formation of a new LeftCo government, which some saw as a puppet government for Brit and Sealand's personal ambitions, resulted in a severe drop in trust in the federal government. Tensions hit a climax when the governing coalition's leaders used their majority in Parliament to shoot down a law that would ban any current and future attempts at a tax system. Although the ruling government promised to not introduce tax legislation during its term, many saw the announcement as a delay tactic in order to let future governments introduce taxes in a future term. The final straw was the passing of the Government Property and Restrictions Act which was seen as unnecessary and undemocratic, with many fearing they can have their property seized at a moment's notice due to its poor wording.

For leftist sympathizers, trust in the government was low since the failure of the New Party's June 2020 term. Leftists within the 13th LeftCo Government also felt that it was dominated by incompetent neoliberal politicians that mainly served as vessels for Brit's ambitions. Upon the start of the protests, the #OccupyCapital movement was initially seen as a desperate move by the far right. However, upon the unveiling of the movement's ideology and the use of unprovoked police brutality by the government to suppress them, leftists such as Sealand considered joining. However, this support was short-lived, since leftist leaders soon became targets for the movement.

### **The Contean Rioter's Perspective**

As the dominant demographic of the AFAB Movement, Conteans were the most influential in its decision-making. By the end of the riots, the AFAB Riots became an outlet for Contean frustrations against the owner of the server and a proto-rebellion against the Polynesian-Contean ethnic tensions that spanned years.

**Disdain for Federal Institutions**

During the Revanchist Period of Polynesian history, the Contean region was the driving force for Polynesian revival and one nationism. The Contean Block was the pinnacle of Contean political ambition by using its regionalist platform to attempt to forge a dual-culture state made up of Conteans and Polynesians as the joint ruling class. The retirement of Brit from federal politics was also a booster in trust for the federal government as he was seen as Contea's largest oppressor throughout history.

However, with the collapse of Bee's government and the return of Brit into federal politics, Conteans became alarmed that they would become oppressed or ignored once more by federal officials. The protests that ended Bee's term were mainly seen by Conteans as a personal attack against Bee, a Contean, by Brit and his associates, who were Polynesians, after Brit openly admitted to starting the protests as a move to gain political and monetary power. To make things worse, a separate feud between Contean and Survival Island citizens broke out, which made trust for the government fall further by the time of the 13th LeftCo Government. This led to the rise of Kaonism, a variation of Proto-Tsarism, which rejected the ideal of a Polynesian-integrated Contea and instead pushed for greater autonomy or even independence. Any remaining willingness to remain cooperative with the RoP government ended when a private conversation between Contean Governor Tsar and former Prime Minister *[Name redacted by Admins to safeguard individual's real-life reputation]* was leaked, where they told Tsar that Polynesians saw Conteans as "The Jews of Polynesia, the weird rich outsider that nobody likes". The conversation sparked massive hatred for the RoP and calls for a rebellion against renewed perceived oppression began ringing among radical Kaonists, reaching its peak in the January 20, 2021 Contean election which saw separatist candidates win second place. By then, historical drama was revitalized and trust was shattered once more.

**Federal Incompetence**

To add to the already large mistrust, Prime Minister Frederick missed every invitation Governor Tsar offered to talk about federal-provincial cooperation and reconciliation, mainly because he forgot every time. Tsar then contacted Minister of Infrastructure Britannia and asked for more construction supplies for Fort Tabantha, which was the main employer for Conteans due to the project's massive scale. Brit declined and ordered the abandonment of the project due to not wanting to deal with the organization required to rally workers to mine the needed materials. This sparked outrage in Contea since the unemployment rate instantly rose to 60% and the military installation's cancellation left the Tabantha Peaks region vulnerable to attack. Brit also handed jurisdiction of the new national highway to the government of Contea since the only finished areas were in Contea, which both killed the national infrastructure plan and effectively made the isolation of Contea official. The Contean government lacked the money and resources to continue the project and also abandoned it, raising unemployment to 85%. The Contean economy and quality of life then began plummeting due to a lack of federal investment and economic isolation, which further enraged local citizens. The missed invitations, failed talks, economic isolation, and abrupt abandonment of massive projects turned the fringe idea of armed resistance against the RoP government into a mainstream consideration.

**Boredom and Disdain for the Admin Team**

By the time the riots happened, the Contean playerbase reached most of their goals on the Polynesian world. This led to a lack of purpose and boredom. The admin team promised special events such as staged conflicts to revitalize the playerbase but nothing came to fruition. The isolation and abandonment of the Contea region by the federal government also killed a lot of passion for its players since a feeling of being hated and unwelcome in the community swept their minds. With the leak of the conversation between Tsar and *[Name Redacted]*, the feeling of an "us versus them" dynamic grew, which disheartened many who tried coexisting with Polynesians. With that, they decided to "go out with a bang" and used the first relevant political excuse they could to start riots and blow a bunch of things up to force the owner to ban them all or make them quit for good. The disdain for Owner Brit was especially large since he was barely active but barely gave his Head Admin, Tsar, any credit for maintaining the community, moderation, and server upkeep by himself. They took their anger out towards Brit by the end of the riots, which is why most strikes in the final days were mainly on Brit's Survival Island instead of strategically relevant targets. After getting banned and getting bored of blowing everything up for fun (and sort of out of spite), the Conteans got themselves either banned or quit for good.

## **Result, Aftermath, and Treaty**

Although the AFAB Movement and Kaon Organization occupied the Capital and even some Provinces at times, this crisis is considered an RoP Government victory due to the following reasons:

1. Despite being outnumbered and losing most tactical objectives as of the third day of the riots, the RoP Government was still able to eliminate small isolated and disorganized groups of terrorists when the opportunity was present. These small victories were critical in keeping morale somewhat high and preserving a fighting spirit with hopes for eventual victory.
2. The legitimacy of the Treaty of Tabantha Peaks was put under question due to Prime Minister Frederick declaring that Minister of State Security Telegraf acted without proper authority when signing the treaty. Although antigovernmental organizations argued that Telegraf had the authority to sign the treaty due to having control over RoP peacekeeping forces, their protests were ignored due to reasons in the next point:
3. The leaders of both antigovernmental groups, Didney and Tsar, were permanently banned from the server (along with some other influential terrorists and rioters like Asarokaa) by Owner Brit. With no leadership and the mass-quitting by the friends and supporters of antigovernmental forces, the main threat to the RoP Government *literally* disappeared within less than an hour.

Despite this, most members of both anti-Government Organizations consider the riots as a win, as they consider the need to ban them as evidence that the only reason the RoP exists is due to the admin team saving it from crises it can't handle. The collapse of the 13th LeftCo Government and subsequent Jedi dictatorship, coupled with the Labour and Socialist parties leaving Fred's government was seen by the Contean rioters as their goals being fulfilled.

### **The Short-Lived Treaty**

The Treaty of Tabantha Peaks was an arrangement between pro- and anti-RoP Government groups to end the riots and is the shortest-lived treaty in Polynesian history. Upon the collapse of the 13th LeftCo Government, Jedi Master Obi-Wan withdrew the RoP from the treaty just an hour after it was signed by official decree.

The Treaty of Tabantha Peaks
 **Article 4, Subsection 1** | Any signatory parties of this treaty that breach any of its terms in any way hereby accept full legal responsibility and liability and accept that such actions may result in continued armed retaliation at any given moment. The repealing/disbandment/revocation of this Treaty is considered a violation of all of its articles.

**Signees of the Treaty**

* **Tsar\_\_Putin -** Treaty Author; Leader of the AFAB Movement Organization
* **TelegrafiniSloup** - Minister of State Security of the Republic of Polynesia; on behalf of all Levels of the Nation’s Government
* **Didneywurl4lif -** Leader of the Knights of Kaon Organization

### **Aftermath**

**For Polynesia**

After the withdrawal of the Treaty of Tabantha Peaks by the RoP Government, figures like Jeffrey openly denounced the riots. Tsar, who was once one of the most-popular figures on Polynesia, became the most hated one overnight. Unable to handle the pressure of ruling a minority Government after the Labour and Socialist Parties left his coalition, Prime Minister Frederick resigned from office; ceding control to a Jedi Council Interim Government under Belg until the next election. In addition, support for leftism increased in Polynesian politics, giving the Socialist Party a great boost in popularity right before the February 3rd election; winning it easily. Although order was restored for after the bans, an increase in crime and terrorism were much more commonplace. This resulted in the start of the Post-AFAB era, a period in Polynesian history defined by crime, state-sanctioned terrorism, and the Jedi-led dictatorship which ruled the RoP until February 3, 2021.

**For the Contea Region**

With most of the Contean population now banned, the province fell into decline. The Jedi government issued several official strikes against the Contean region which razed the cities of Ascot and Tabantha Peaks to the ground, with residents who survived the strikes leaving Polynesia. Although the final Contean-majority settlement, Woodfall Hills, was left unscathed, its population soon left Polynesia out of fear. This event is known as the destruction of Nova Contea and ended with the extinction of the Contean ethnic group.

The VoS-Foresta region, a Polynesian-majority region within the Province of Nova Contea, later declared independence from the RoP to escape the economic collapse within the Contea region. It soon rejoined the RoP and became one of the only settlements still populated within the Contea region, although the province itself only existed in name.

## **The Riots Day by Day**

### **January 17, 2021**

This day was one of recruitment. UNB created an Instagram group chat consisting of Didney, Tsar, and Jeffrey. The protest group was called #OccupyCapital, a reference to #OccupyWallstreet, as a protest against the ruling Government and its recent denunciation of a failed anti-taxes law in Parliament. Tsar, despite retiring from politics for over a month at the time, was on board with the idea and created a Discord group chat. He added a couple of experienced players into the cause such Asarokaa and also invited others who joined the server in mid-December and early January. Leonski and Bee also joined the movement.

### **January 18, 2021**

This day was one of planning, branding, and ideological expansion. This day also saw the creation of the Knights of Kaon Terrorist Organization by Didneywurl4lif, a splinter group from the AFAB Movement which believed that the only way to achieve freedom from oppression, was to first take over an oppressive government through tyrannical actions (hence their slogan, "Freedom Through Tyrrany"). Tsar decided to not join the Knights of Kaon and instead took a leading role in the #OccupyCapital planning group and laid out a game-plan for how the protests would act in order to get the RoP Government to cave into their demands. He also raised awareness of the Government Property and Restrictions Act, a law that the movement saw as flawed and oppressive, which recently passed in the RoP Parliament. The repealing of this law became the secondary goal of the #OccupyCapital movement. The game-plan developed into a progressive escalation plan: on the 19th, a peaceful march from Spawn to Ashton (the Capital) would occur with no provocations planned. On the 20th, a mass-protest (still peaceful), was planned to happen all around the Province of Nova Contea. On the 21st, assuming that the RoP government wouldn't cave in to peaceful demonstrations, the Movement planned to provoke peacekeeping forces into committing police brutality and incite a small-scale riot in Ashton. If the government still wouldn't cave in, the movement planned to start a campaign of daily and ever-escalating riots in order to leverage the RoP Government into caving into their demands as of the 23rd (the 22nd would be a "break/prep day"). If all else failed, the rioters planned to eventually start a 3rd Polynesian Civil War as a final attempt to make their cause win.

### **January 19, 2021**

**From Protest to Provocation**

This day saw the planned march from Spawn to the Capital, lead by UNB. It was initially small, but many people such as Didney joined him; swelling the number of people present to 6. To stop the protest before it can even begin, police created barriers in all major entry points to Ashton and Parliament and the in-game chat was muted by Brit for a few minutes. As a response, Tsar used a block of TNT to blow up the barriers and the demonstrators flooded into the streets. They placed netherrack on the streets and lit it on fire, placed antigovernmental and anti-taxation signs, and started demonstrating in front of Parliament's front door. Brit, who served was law enforcement to keep the peace, told the protesters to step back when they started to place signs and netherrack in front of Parliament. When they refused to disperse, Brit used his Fire Aspect II, Sharpness IV Netherite Sword and attacked everyone on site, killing one and severely wounding others. This came as a shock to the protesters and even pro-government bystanders like Sealand, as the demonstrators were not provoking any standoffs beforehand. Shock soon turned into rage, as Tsar had an ender chest in his inventory and everyone used it to supply themselves with military-grade gear to counter Brit's attacks. They attacked and killed Brit in front of parliament, stormed the building itself, and stormed the Police HQ, thus officially starting the first day of rioting.

**The First Day of Rioting**

The first day of rioting was rather limited and even orderly at times compared to other days. UNB, leader of the protest that day, denounced the "out of control" violence. The Police HQ was stormed and recaptured several times, brawls between both sides erupted, and Cosmic's hotel in Ashton was damaged with TNT. However, the hardest-hit place was Parliament itself. By the end, it was in shambles and had to be rolled back using CoreProtect. Several protesters, military personnel, and police personnel were killed or severely injured. The rioters eventually were pushed back to High Park Housing District and left the game after the Knights of Kaon Terror Organization did a huge explosion in it.

### **January 20, 2021**

**Prison Break**

The second day of rioting was not planned whatsoever. Despite the violence a day prior, the #OccupyCapital Movement members wanted to stick to their plan and try to achieve their goals through peaceful protests planned for the 21st. This all changed when Tails, an accused domestic terrorist, tried to resist arrest and was imprisoned in PM Tsar Federal Prison. Tsar, who was the RoP's 3rd most-wanted criminal at the time due to January 19's riot, was mistakenly allowed within the prison by its guards to visit Tails and play basketball with him in the courtyard. This likely happened due to poor communication in the police force. The Knights of Kaon had other plans than the AFAB Movement though, and Didney himself launched an attack on the prison to break Tails out. The attempt was successful, but at the cost of Didney being arrested. The AFAB Movement members decided the chaos would be perfect to exploit and grow their cause, and took to the streets to break out Didney. The prison was overwhelmed, all law enforcement killed, and Didney was freed. Tails, grateful, joined the Knights of Kaon.

**Anarchy in the Capital**

Law enforcement by Sealand and Brit came to an unrecognizable Capital city in anarchy. Even Prime Minister Frederick, who was bombed by Tails just a few hours before, joined in to stop the riots. The media came to take footage, with Kai from UP News recording the scene. Instead of enforcing the law, both Federal and Rioter personnel collaborated to nuke PM Tsar Prison. They killed each other for fun, laughed, and beat up the PM for a few minutes as a joke. In an effort to end the violence, the Ministry of State Security dropped the warrants on all rioters except Didney and Tails. Eventually, police started actually trying to arrest people and transporting them to a cave. However, this failed as Tsar got hold of the new proto-jail's coordinates and soon created two tunnels out of it with Didney. Once again, the rioters came back to Ashton and damaged the city in all areas. After Ashton was occupied, they moved into Tabantha Peaks to occupy Contea. Half of the rioters stayed in the overworld section of the city, while the other half went to the Nether to take over the recently abandoned construction site of Fort Tabantha, whose main keep was functional. The overworld group was dispersed by police units and fled to Ascot and Evals, while the nether group portal trapped and killed 2 federal agents until Federal forces eventually made a portal elsewhere and took back the keep. However, Tsar and Nethy escaped custody and evaded authorities in a tree beside the southeast cliff face of Tabantha Peaks, Kai's media company soon joining them to report on the situation. Although everyone was successfully out of jail, Contea stayed in federal hands and Didney's storage room raided by federal forces. Due to this, the rioters went back to the ruined Ashton and hid in one of UNB's skyscrapers before leaving the game due to boredom.

### **January 21, 2021**

**Bloodless Fall of Contea**

This day's rioting started in all areas of Contea. Even small towns like Evals Village and Hoodieville saw action. To the surprise of the rioters, federal forces didn't engage them until they abandoned Contea and moved onto Ashton in a disorganized fashion. The cities of Tabantha Peaks and VoS-Foresta were later recaptured by federal forces unopposed while the rioters were busy attacking Survival Island. The spreading of the riots to VoS alienated Nethy from the AFAB Movement, which eventually lead him to be kicked from it due to suspicions of spying.

**Borderline Revolt**

The AFAB movement saw the chances of peaceful negotiations impossible at this point and decided to instead escalate violence, although to a much lesser extent than Didney's Knights of Kaon. There was one exception though: Tsar and Didney went to North Sea Province and nuked it as revenge for the destruction of Contea in the 2nd RoP Civil War on January 28, 2020. The other AFAB members such as Leon resorted to street violence and making antigovernmental speeches near the Police HQ. The Knights of Kaon obliterated a portion of downtown Ashton and burned the Labour-era housing district to the ground. Despite Jedi Order help, Ashton fell to the Knights of Kaon and everyone soon set their sights on their next target: Owner Brit's Survival Island. Some stragglers stayed in Ashton, however they were soon overwhelmed with no reinforcements by federal reserve forces and were banned for a couple of hours.

**Temporary Bans**

Despite thinking they'd get banned, most rioters and terrorists alike attacked Survival Island to threaten Brit himself. Brit didn't tolerate this and banned anyone he saw attacking his home. Tsar was also fired from his position of Head Admin and Developer, which led to him announcing his departure from the community. Tsar opened talks with the RoP Government and considered them a surrender, declaring victory for the AFAB movement and Kaon organization. However, this turned out to be false and Tsar with his supporters rejoined the community after being unbanned with one goal: total victory or getting permanently banned trying to achieve it while also spiting Brit.

**Raid on Tsar's Vault**

On January 18th, Dyslexic stumbled upon Tsar's iron farm and set a home there. He then checked the Dynmap cave mapmode (which was an admin oversight and later patched) and noticed an odd hollow "chamber" underground: this ended up being Tsar's secret shared vault. 6 armor sets, 5 OP swords, 6 OP Axes, countless stacks of food, potions, fireworks, TNT, 7 Elytras, 27 Totems of Undying, and other munitions were looted by Dyslexic, Harold, and Brit. The items were inspected to see if there was cheating involved, and it turned out that this was all the result of a month and a half's worth of almost daily grinding. Interestingly enough, Asarokaa's vault room was spared. It is unknown if it was left alone or if the raiders simply forgot about it.

### **January 22 & 23, 2021**

This day was a preparation day for the final two days of the riots. Many thought the rioting was over, but this in truth was a temporary lull and preparation phase for future escalation in planned violence.

### **January 24, 2021**

**The Pillaging of Survival Island**

This day was initially also peaceful, however the peace did not last. At 7:45pm EST, the Knights of Kaon fell upon Survival Island and took over it in search of the looted items from Tsar's vault. All the OP weaponry was stored in the main storage room right beside a window while the armor, totems, and elytras, were better hidden. After a 20min search, Didney stumbled upon an underwater mineshaft in an ocean ravine. A couple of stone bricks were found in the wall, revealing Brit's secret vault. Tsar later found a lever in the water ravine's wall as well, which opened a piston door to the vault from the ocean side. This vault housed many valuable resources such as diamond and netherite blocks, countless armor sets (not only Tsar's), several chests full of iron, and 3.5 double chests full of Totems of Undying. By the end of the looting, 10 shulker boxes worth of loot were taken from Survival Island.

**Accidental Damage & Revenge**

The front portion of Survival Island was burned down to a minor extent, however it is unknown whether it was due to a lightning strike or someone forgetting to put a flame out when burning items in the wooden building. Despite apologies for the damage, Brit rigged many houses in Tabantha Peaks with explosives as revenge and set pressure plates at the front doors to trigger the explosives. They would be used in the final day of riots on January 25th, 2021.

### **January 25, 2021**

**Disorganized Start**

This day was by far the least organized at the start, with up to 6 rioters logging on before the planned time than the rest of the group. In addition, Didney and other important figures had a surprise Chemistry test and were delayed by 3 hours. This disorganization lead to the arrest of 5 of the initial rioters in short notice. However, they were all broken out of prison by Tsar. During the prison breakout, pro-government and antigovernmental groups stayed in the prison for an hour and danced together to Pigstep. After the vibe session ended, some went to Tabantha Peaks only to find Jeffrey's, Tsar's, and Didney's houses rigged with explosives. At first, some thought this was a ploy by Didney as a terror attack, but CoreProtect soon showed that this was a move by Brit to take revenge for January 24th's raid on Survival Island.

**Raid on Survival Island** **& Permanent Bans**

Eventually, everyone came online and organized, but no federal forces engaged anyone. The rioters took advantage of this and griefed Survival Island as a final act of spite against Brit in the name of Contea, finding that the items they raided the day prior were rolled back by Brit. Some think this was Brit admin abusing his items back, while others believe that he was going to delete them later but didn't have the time to do so at the moment. Regardless, the items were destroyed and Survival Island was destroyed with them. When Brit came on to see the carnage of his home, he permanently banned the raiders and recaptured Survival Island. Before news of the bans was spread, Tsar drafted the Treaty of Tabantha Peaks and gave it to Telegraf when Fred refused to sign it due to a personal hatred of Tsar. Although the treaty would be broken an hour later, this combination of bans and the short-lived treaty unceremoniously ended the AFAB Riots, with both sides claiming victory.
