**The Second Dragon Egg War** (a.k.a "the War of the Fifth Egg", "The War of Kara's Grandchild", "The Contentless War", "The Failed Dragon Egg Heist") was a war declared by Business Bay against the Corvarian Empire. It began and concluded on Day 72.

## Cause

On Day 69, TimeDeo had armed himself and his faction with a great quantity of Golden Apples by exploiting the Herobrine plugin.

On Day 72, Deo decided to pull off a heist. He showed his apple collection to TommyInnit before the two decided to raid KaraCorvus for her valuable Dragon Egg.

Tommy mentioned numerous topics in his unplanned soliloquy following his discussion with Deo. He commented that Kara was not a very nice person, explaining that she had claimed the gigantic area nearby for no good reason. He mentioned that he was greatly angered by the presence of her faction claim limiting Business Bay's expansion. He was motivated by the fact that Kara had captured one of the few Dragon Eggs, yet none were in the possession of the Business Boys.

Meanwhile, Kara was informed by her chat that the two intended to head over to her base and steal her grandchild. Despite her reservations, she rushed back to base and secured the egg in her ender chest, replacing it with powerless turtle eggs.

Deo was informed as well that Kara was traveling back to her base in order to protect her property. He dragged Tommy onto a plane, even though the latter kept stalling, and they flew to Corvantinople, the capital of the Corvarian Empire.

## The War

### **Negotiation at Corvantinople**

The two made their way to the imperial palace to confront the Corvarian empress. Deo would /f enemy Kara after finding her, though she managed to escape unharmed. The three joined a VC together to discuss the matter. Tommy beat around the bush despite knowing the viewers had informed her of the purpose of their arrival, and offered to talk to Kara with Deo shedding all of his armor. Deo adamantly refused, and Kara perched on her roof, replying that she would only talk if both of the members of Business Bay were armorless.

Tommy continued to attempt to barter with Kara for a face to face meeting, eventually succeeding in luring her over to a balcony where she looked down upon them. Tommy would run upstairs with Deo right behind him. Once the three met in person, Tommy negotiated with Kara over Corvarian Hong Kong, noting that he did not want "a big plot that says Hong Kong next to [their] land". Kara rebutted by explaining that he could claim whatever part of China he wanted, though Tommy refused. Deo, on the other hand, was secretly negotiating with his chat on whether to kill Kara or not.

Tommy continued to insist that the claim was "griefing", though Kara denied it. The members of Business Bay would then break into Kara's bedroom in spite of her requests to exit, and claimed her Dragon Head.

### **Assassination of the Corvarian Empress**

Shortly afterward Deo and Tommy, arranged by a secret message in faction chat, stabbed and killed Kara in her room, and would continue to spawn kill Kara while the latter requested her armor. The former two replied that they would give back her items in return for her Egg. Kara would then log out, with Deo threatening to blow up Corvantinople should she not return. She commented that the Business Boys have nothing to compel her to give up the Egg, as all her enchanted tools, weapons and armor are easily replaceable.

Tommy asked Kara what they could trade for the Egg, and after a moment of silence, Kara stated to the members of Business Bay that they could never get it off of her as it was her grandchild, explaining that she had to go through an arduous quest on Day 59 to acquire it. Tommy replied that the Business Boys were on quest of their own to collect the Egg from her. Meanwhile, Technoblade would join Tommy's chat and sarcastically comment "Time 'Women's Rights' Deo" in reference to his current actions.

Tommy continued demanding the Egg from Kar , with Deo killing her when she refused. She pointed out that the two hadn't even given her a chance to unclaim anything, though her objections fell on deaf ears. Deo would then use obsidian to trap Kara in her own spawn. Kara mentioned that "this is a bad RP (roleplaying), and this is griefing," requesting the duo to exit and stop griefing her base. SoftWilly would comment on her deaths, and prepare to come to her aid.

The Business Boys briefly left the shared VC and attempted to devise more plans to extort the Egg from Kara; Deo suggested simply trapping her, while Tommy offered to buy it from Kara. Kara refused again, utilizing /f stuck to escape from her obsidian lined prison. Deo broke the confinement to try and injure her, but not before Kara punched him once and immediately teleported to outside the palace. She took off in a plane and circled her palace from above, with Deo firing at her with his bow. Tommy commented that she wouldn't go with RP and was being unfun, to which Kara retorted by saying that they had to stop being unfun first. She would ram the two with her plane, before asking Chip to "smite these evil doers." Chip would join Business Bay's VC, commenting that they wouldn't help the attackers and that Tommy was a "Green- Eyed Monster" (a term for a very jealous person). Kara also mentioned that if the duo did kill her viewer's foxes that were paid for with real money, it would be legitimate BM, elaborating that she wouldn't give them the Egg by either RP or not.

### **The Hostage Situation**

VoiceOverPete joined the chat and discussed the event, giving the members of Business Bay a hint: Kara may have a soft spot for her animals, similar to Technoblade's Floof. Furthermore, in the previous war over a dragon egg, Ph1LzA had successfully forced WilburSoot to remove the Fourth Dragon Egg from his Ender chest by kidnapping one of his prized animals. Following this revelation, the two commented on their growing relationship with Pete, clamoring for him to choose a favorite. Pete refused to answer, directing the group to focus on Kara.

    Kara continued to try and check on the two foxes from afar, reiterating her RP that she refused to ever give up the grandchild egg regardless of threats or bribes. Meanwhile, heeding Pete's advice, Deo decided to seize Kara's foxes while Tommy joined a VC with Kara tried to convince Kara that, "your grandchild, would be becoming my grandchild" and that it was a good trade. Kara refused, noting that she could never give up a child. Deo proceeded to take the arctic fox away in a boat (unbeknownst to them, one of her viewers had paid $100 for the fox to be located there).

Due to this, Kara dropped all pretense of roleplaying, noted that she was serious about the fox, and told them in a very unamused voice that the foxes "are off limits; they are from viewers" and "RP is off." She also commented that while she was willing to RP with them, there was a limit. Tommy and Deo refused to accept this, and Deo pulled the fox away by boat.

Kara informed the boys again that her viewers had paid real money to name the two foxes, stating that it was an important item to her community, which Tommy refused to accept. Another bit was made by Tommy, where he asked her to work out a way for them to get the Egg off of her. She stated that "RP or not" Tommy wasn't getting the Egg. Following this declaration by Tommy, Kara directly threatened to have him removed from the server should he not respect the boundaries. Deo continued to boat the fox away as the two members of Business Bay discussed the circumstances with Pete, with Tommy noting that he didn't know if she was serious or acting out a bit, before asking chat for an explanation about her fox lore. Kara would call for an admin at this time, while Tommy read out the lore, explaining that the fox was named after a viewer who donated much money.

Pete would join Kara's chat, and talk to her concerning the situation. She told him in no uncertain terms that she did not need their wealth; she just wanted to keep her prized Egg. She explained that she was and has been willing to RP with, and that her role was not to give away the Egg. Despite the RP, they should not have touched the items her community had paid for. Pete agreed and offered his help, but Kara assured him that things will be fine, though she allowed him to come over nonetheless if he could be a help.

    At the same time, a "small battalion" was on their way from Log Lagoon. She joined a voice chat with the group, dubbed the "Simp Army", as SoftWilly handed her all of his gear. Kara rallied them to go and kill Deo and Tommy. As the group wandered around, Kara commented that "there was a difference between roleplay, and being a douchebag." Dinkster also suggested another TNT flying machine attack on Business Bay's capital, should the opposing side not surrender.

### **The Amphibious Chase**

Several members of Log Lagoon and DinksterDaily of Kievan Rus would step in at this time, threatening the two members of Business Bay with retribution (including an airship bomber) should they proceed. Deo rowed around the Caspian Sea with the fox, commenting that Kara only needed to trade her Egg for the fox. Meanwhile, the band from Log Lagoon had arrived, and were going to surround Tommy. Pete dropped into the VC again, explaining that regardless of threats, Kara would not give up the Egg (likely owing to her emotional attachment) and put her foot down on it. Deo replied that they had the fox and would return it for the Egg to which Pete informed him that his gut felt that Kara would likely take it very personally should he carry out his next actions.

The two commented that the situation could have been avoided if she gave up the Egg, and the three jested about how Business Bay was the good guys, having invaded her home and stabbed her followed by holding her pets hostage. Pete then commented that it likely wouldn't go down the way they intended, and that they ought to seek a different plan. Tommy invited Pete to help brainstorm, though the latter turned it down as he was currently busy, though he could help later on.

Deo continued to row through the lands of the USSR and Poyo as Tommy tried to negotiate, explaining that they would give back the fox in exchange for the unclaiming of Corvarian Hong Kong or the Dragon Egg. Kara once again explained that Tommy was free to claim the lands himself, as she did not care much for it, though Tommy turned down the deal. It was then that Deo noticed that Log Lagoon had /f enemy Business Bay. Tommy accused the group of simping, to which SoftWilly denied and InkTea embraced. The two, confused at why their allies had turned on them, remained on the run while the members of Log Lagoon circled them.

    Deo refused to kill the fox despite the urging of his chat, and during Tommy's negotiations, Dinkster attempted to attack and kill Deo. Deo rowed away as someone handed Tommy a chicken egg named "Dragon Egg", similar to how Kara had received one a few weeks earlier from Chip. Deo refused to accept the fake Egg. The allied group of Log Lagoon and Kievan Rus would attack Tommy on land, though he escaped by snatching a plane. Tommy would acknowledge that Kara said "not RP" and commented that it may be serious, before informing Kara that they would kill the fox should she continue to refuse to hand over the Egg.

Kara responded by heavily mocking Tommy and Pete's placements in Minecraft Saturday (dead last), briefly angering Tommy. Tommy commented that as Bitzel was arriving soon, and he would likely berate them for their actions. Grunke joined their VC with Kara, prompting Tommy to demand the Egg. Kara replied that it was not RPing, and she would not give up the Egg. Tommy replied that she couldn't continue saying that, though Kara would insist that it was her grandchild. Tommy objected to this statement as well, though Kara brushed him off and told him he could fight the Antarctic Empire for their two Eggs.

Tommy once again asked Kara what she wanted for her Dragon Egg, and Kara responded with the same answer as earlier: they simply couldn't have it. Deo commented that he held her child, which Kara denied, explaining that it was a pet. Deo then asked if it was alright for him to kill it, which Kara also denied, stating that it would hurt her community. Tommy and Deo would ask Kara to hand over the Egg and end the conflict, citing that they started the war, and they will end the war. Kara replied by stating that she owned the Egg long before either of the two joined, referencing The End Raid of the First Dragon Egg.

JoshA20 would log on, and Kara mentioned that he would smite Deo for his insolence. Deo replied that it would kill Snowball, and this may have stayed God's hand. Tommy continued to negotiate with Kara, though the latter pointed out they intended to trade her items for her items, refusing to accept any such offer. Tommy then defined Business as "stealing and ransoming," causing Kara to state, "I don't negotiate with terrorists." An attempt to barter for Business Bay's friendship was also unilaterally rejected, with Kara saying, "Your friendship is not worth my grandchild."

During this time, Deo continued to be chased around by his adversaries. As they drew near, he warned them that should they break the boat, he would kill the fox. Deo continued to row as Chip arrived. Chip offered the two a deal: remove Tommy's stans from attacking him online, and the admin will give them a Dragon Egg. The two members of Business Bay refused on the grounds that it was "admin-spawned" (despite the Third, Fourth, and even the Fifth Egg they were targeting being admin spawned). Tommy and Deo continued to demand specifically Kara's Fifth Egg, while Bitzel straight up asked for a black omelette.

### **The Southern Kievan Rus Battles**

After Technoblade commented in Tommy's chat that there was now zero chance of content, Tommy agreed and informed Deo that he wanted to hand Kara back her stuff, though Deo was not ready to quit yet. Tommy would once again ask for Deo to give up, though Deo requested one last chance with Chip. Chip joined their VC, and Deo asked if another Dragon Egg was still on the table. Chip replied that it had been a joke, while jokingly stating to Tommy that people had been tagging him as a Tommy-stan and that he was holding it against Tommy. Tommy reacted with shock and surprise, commenting that he didn't even know why his stans were so angry towards Chip. Soon afterwards the group would all join the global VC. The allied group requested the two come ashore, and Tommy did, handing over what he had from Kara's inventory as he was tired and did not want to do anything with the event anymore.

Deo continued to row as Tommy messaged him that "im bouncing this has 0% of becoming good content," and advised him not to kill the fox, which he accepted. Deo commented that he wouldn't kill the fox, and that he would probably just stash it for further negotiations at some point as soon as he shook Dinkster off his tail. Tommy took a moment to remind his chat that the event was all in the server, and not to attack their enemies in real life. Deo reassured his faction leader that he was not throwing Deo under the bus, and after Tommy left decided to box the fox in. He quickly rowed over to a chunk of Kievan Rus and claimed it, before locking the white fox into a box of stone. A creeper would explode and injure the fox, though it didn't kill it.

    The allied group attacked Deo, though he was too strong to be killed by direct attack and headed into the water. The trio tried to reassure Deo by telling him that SoftWilly had no items, with the latter adding that all of his items were on "Queen Kara." This prompted Dinkster to call him a worse simp than Chip (see The Angel Dust Crusade for details). The group remained in a standoff, with Deo on one side, and Kara's allies on the other. Chip reassured the gathered members at this time that they had finally fixed the faction claim bug preventing players from using items.

Deo then plotted with his chat to defend the area with water. Deo would then walk around the area pursued by the others, with Tommy briefly logging back in. Deo would cover the box with water, prompting Dinkster to attack the former several times. The stalemate resumed after Deo backed away from the box. His chat asked him to kill his adversaries, though he commented that he did not know whether he could take the three of them together in a fight. He also added that he didn't have enough enchantment bottles for a lengthy battle. He analyzed the situation, noting that he refused to fight under these circumstances.

Tommy joined back briefly during a fight between Deo and Dinkster, though Deo reassured that he would be fine, and the fox was secured. Dinkster gave an ultimatum to Deo: Remove the land claims within his territory within 24 hours or he will suffer consequences. Deo accepted, explaining he would definitely move it within a day's time, but only if everyone was over 1000 blocks away from the area. SoftWilliam and Deo had a brief punch fight, though nothing came of it.

Deo continued to analyze the situation, stating that neither Kara nor himself were willing to budge. Deo commented that if he killed Kara, he would be surrounded and attacked by several other players. Deo would kill Kara and Isaac in a battle, though he was ultimately forced to barricade himself within a bunker beside his claim. Deo would nearly also kill SoftWilly with a fall trap, though the latter would log out. Deo escaped immediately after the group moved away, and flew back to Business Bay to collect Enchantment Bottles to repair his armor.

### **Snowball's Rescue Mission**

Deo retrieved several stacks of bottles, pearls, and restocked on armor. He flew back to the fox's holding prison along with Bitzel, and would engage in several smaller skirmishes with the group, killing Kara a few more times. Deo decided to give back all of the items, though not the fox. Kara's group would attempt to set up a series of flying machines to remove the prison, with the group tackling the work while Kara explained that she had been RPing in the beginning. She elaborated by stating that in the RP, not everything goes the way one side would want, and that in the RP she was perfectly entitled to act as the caring grandmother who refuses to hand over her grandchild.

Meanwhile, the members of Log Lagoon were setting up a series of flying machines to break open the box and retrieve Snowball, the white fox. As Deo was not streaming, he refused to kill them.

Following Deo's stream end, Kara turned on followers-only chat mode, stating that to argue with her, they must support her. Further standoffs occurred, with the group slamming a large contraption onto the waterlogged box. Deo commented that he never expected it to blow up from stealing an Egg to a giant "this fox's life is on the line" moment. Kara laughed and agreed, before reminding him that she was indeed RPing with them, and her role was not giving them the Egg, given that it was her grandchild. Kara flew to Business Bay, and searched for her items. Deo returned all of her items, settling the score from the assassination earlier.

Kara analyzed the circumstances with her viewers, while noting that she was ready to RP with them, and they could have taken any other animal except the foxes as they were part of her community rewards. The chat informed her that Pete gave them the idea of seizing an animal, but Deo was the one to ultimately choose to capture the fox. Kara then mentioned that aside from the foxes being for her viewers, they were difficult to get and rare, noting that there were multiple reasons why she felt the foxes were off limits.

Once she arrived back at the containment area, she and SoftWilly bounced ideas off each other on how they could double cross Deo, though Kara noted that she refused to take a gamble as the stakes were too high. The two spoke about his idea, though neither chat agreed with SoftWilly's plan. SoftWilly would then ask Kara how much a viewer spent on the fox, and she replied that it was $100, shocking the former. Neither intended to honor any deal created, as in Kara's eyes, all of the items that she was 'trading' for were originally hers. The group continued to plot against Deo, while Kara established that she had legitimate reasons for keeping the fox off-limits.

### **Conclusion**

A suggestion to fight Deo was made, though the two shot it down as they were both poor in armor and PVP. The two milled around endlessly, before Tommy returned, having finished recording. He remarked that he did not want to be a part of the bit any longer, which Kara accepted. Business Bay handed Snowball back to Kara, and Kara led them out of the pit, rowing her way back to her home.

## Audience Reaction

* The community is very divided on the issue, with many viewers picking sides and brigading opposing streamers' streams.
* Tommy and Deo both claim that Kara was not RPing as she refused to give them the Egg.
	+ However, Kara (in the RP) is a grandmother. It's impossible for her to be swayed there. It can be argued that she could have played along a little more with the Business Boys, though it is understandable that she adamantly refuse. She sees it as living proof of The End Raid's success, and a grandchild.
	+ Outside of the RP, the Dragon Eggs are extremely valuable. It's unlikely that Kara would be swayed here very easily, either.
* On the issue of Dragon Eggs, Kara was not the only owner of the item; there are other players who owned similar items. Targeting Kara and the Corvarian Empire alone seems to imply something else between the two factions' relationship.
	+ Notably, Kara would point out that the Antarctic Empire held two Dragon Eggs, and urged Business Bay to target their rival instead.
* Kara's argument is that she could and willing to commit in roleplay (RP) with anything, except for items that concerns with her community, to which she asked the boys to respect that but they failed to do so.
	+ The counter argument is that all actions taken on an RPG server ought to constitute an RP, and thus Kara is in the wrong for refusing to allow Business Bay to target her community pets.
	+ The issue lies with the misunderstanding of how Kara's community system works. The viewer pays her real money to name an animal in game, and thus the monetary part does not come from Kara herself.
	+ Still, it is an animal within the game, and thus should not be off limits.
	+ Yet, several things needed to be considered as well, such as the logistics and arduous endeavor of getting an either a regular or an arctic fox (usually spawns in taiga forests or arctic biomes) and transporting it to her base etc.
* Further arguments include that the admins were showing favoritism towards Kara and the Corvarian Empire.
	+ This may in fact be true, though it may also stem from how the admins had both directly or indirectly given Business Bay much wealth in the form of The God War or The Great Arctic Beacon Heist, making them the most favored faction on the server.
	+ Notably, neither Chip nor Josh fully stepped in; Chip noted that they were joking about spawning another Dragon Egg to appease Deo and Tommy.
* A comparison was made between Kara's fox and Deo's Twitch Prime Shrine during the Port-aux-Offensive, where Technoblade and SalC1 intended to damage the shrine that Deo had been paid $300 to construct.
	+ Kara and SoftWilly both commented that neither of them supported Techno's action, and did not condone the attack. Furthermore, two wrongs didn't make a right.
	+ To add, diamonds are far easier to replace than a mob, as once a mob dies, its unique ID prevents it from being respawned (though in rare cases, they can be 'brought back' through reincarnation.)
* Simping may also be an issue. A group of members from Log Lagoon headed to Kara's aid after receiving her summons in chat, and SoftWilly directly admitted to simping.
	+ In a simple term, the act of *simping* can be defined as how a guy/man being or acts submissive to a girl/woman with hopes to win them over.
	+ This of course, is turn on its head should it be used alongside the argument in the case of the foxes (that all actions on an RPG server is rp); if Kara cannot complain about her community values being violated, then simping must also constitute real rp.
	+ A few viewers would also note that it was the most fun part about the entire "charade."
	+ SoftWilly commented on the subject, noting that regardless of gender, he would have rushed to the defense of whoever was being spawn camped and/or had their pet stolen. Kara would also add that if she was a guy, they would not be calling the former a simp.
