The Nut Sacking

Beginning on the 31st of August, skirmishes outside the town of WesNutSackClub ocurred for several hours. The main participants were the residents of the town, led by raymoose, fighting against a coalition of citizens of Jagdas from various towns and nations.

Background
Some of the residents of WesNutSackClub had been antagonizing and trolling other members of Jagdas for some time, mainly by using the tpas to trap and kill people in a no pvp zone (using lava and anvils). During the Northern War, loot that was lost by multiple players was thought to have ended up in WesNutSackClub.

Soon KarlosGeek of the Bimare Federation would form a coalition against them, alongside his nation members, Osmarus, DarkbaneHU and bleeksnoet. Noodles24601, the leader of the Bimare Federation, said she was unable to join the game and therefore the federation could not declare war on them. To bypass this restriction, Obsidiana and other towns from the federation left and made the Belmare Confederacy with the Empire of Yimmu Audal, created with the sole purpouse of invading the WesNutSackClub to reclaim the stolen items, planning to rejoin the federation once the war was over. During the following days the Apollonian Accord, The Third Republic and the Duchy of Virdere joined the coalition.

Fighting Breaks Out
Since WesNutSackClub was not part of a nation, it was impossible to formaly declare war against them. A raiding party was created but failed, unable to destroy, place, attack and use items like ender pearls, the invaders soon found themselves at the mercy of the players from the WetNutSackClub, who killed anyone that got inside by using lava and anvils, including those trapped in the doors itself.

Edoboss101, who did not take part in fighting, got killed in the crossfire. As more and more people learned of the skirmishing, a large group of players, volunteers as well as spectators to the battle, made their way to WesNutSackClub. Since formal war could not be declared, the residents of the town were free to raid those in the Wild, which they continued to do. By 19:30 UTC (15:30 EST) on the 31st of August, a vast mob of players, including Sir_Po0kie, Blue_Marble, and TwinJaguar among others, had surrounded the town.

The attackers tried to breach the town keep for over 30 minutes. Bystander and soldier alike became casualties. The defenders used lava to burn their targets, and would allegedly switch PVP on and off in the town to their benefit. This led many to call for a response from the UN, some demanding action from the admins, though none seemed to be online during the fighting. Calls were made to change Towny PVP or to declare WesNutSackClub a terrorist cell..

After world PvP got enable on September 1st, the coalition forces surrounded the small ruinous town. The town players gathered in their cobblestone building, initiating the fighting using arrow holes and splash potions. During the battle, the attacking forces attacked and killing each other, making little progress in that day's siege.

The Outcome
At around midnight UTC on the 2nd of September, following a rule change that made it mandatory for towns to be part of a nation, the WesNutSackClub created their own nation, which they were the only member off. Upon hearing this, the coalition members declared that nation an enemy almost immediately. Shortly thereafter, with forces of all coalition members as well as numerous volunteers surrounded the village, beginning to claim its plots. Due to their vast numerical advantage, as well as the simultaneously attack of multiple plots by different nations, all of the town's territory was taken in an hour. The inhabitants were repeatedly killed at their townspawn to prevent them from gaining access to their gear and potential defense mechanisms.

After the fighting ended, the members of WesNutSackClub hid in the adminshop, the only place were PVP is disabled, and announced their retirement.
