The Battle of Regilmold (event)

The Battle of Regilmold, also called the Battle of Combat Logs, happened in the evening of August 21. Earlier in the day, players from Regilmold, Hashkee, and Yimmu-Audal raided the town of Crab Season, but no players were on. For a few seconds, Zachisosum came online, saw they were being raided, and logged off. Player bleeksnoet was able to claim a relatively insignificant townblock of the Crab Season base during this split second. After this claim the war turned into a battle of intelligence as both sides started drawing up new plans for invasion and defence. Both sides seemingly had a rat in their midst since a plan to strike Regilmold with elytra's was leaked to the attackers. While the attackers where preparing the fortress city for the defence someone from within told the crabs they knew of the plan, causing a delay and alteration in the plans. Eventually, players from Crustacean_Nation and Arvenden banded together to strike back at Regilmold and take back the lost land in Crab Season. There was a minor attack on the Crab Season base, which was fended off by players eat_up and deadlymarines12. Uby1234 also claimed the Crustacean Nation's end hideout, although he was killed there by Zachisosum. He, Sir_Po0kie, Thousand_Suns_, The_Schlank, and more attacked the numerous people stationed inside the walls of Regilmold. Zachisosum was given the sword Patriarch (now called Unholy Mandate) before the battle. The_Schlank flew around with Elytra and harassed them with his superpiece Beestin. During the battle, Zachisosum was chased into the halls of the castle and almost killed, but he combat logged before dying. The players of Regilmold and the pro-G0NFists invaded Crab Season and claimed the base. Player uby1234 placed tons of TNT in Crab Season's chest room. Zachisosum came back to the server, and teleported to the end base where he was unexpectedly killed. The godsword Unholy Mandate was lost. The forces of Crab Season tried once again to take Regilmold, and had more success killing defenders in divided 1v1s. Although they gained some good loot (such as a full chest of diamond and netherite pieces), Crab Season ultimately lost this battle to the defending players of Regilmold and its allies, as their base was wrecked, and Regilmold maintains as it was before the battle. The remains of G0NF were recovered by the Regilmoldians to be given a proper burial. As of the night after, Crab Season is still occupied by the Regilmold. Bleeksnoet of Regilmold however promised to return the occupied lands soon.

Overall G0NFism and sympathy for G0NF after his execution and crucifixion played a really important role in this war. It seems that in fact the casus belli was the avenging of all the victims of the Crab nation's war crimes, first among them being G0NF. Many Regilmoldians, including many of their fighters in the war, followed G0NFs teachings, held him in high regard or simply sympathized for him and his followers. Amongst the Children of G0NF, also called GONFists, many joined the Regilmoldans in the defense of their city and in the next, final storming of Crab Season and Fang. Many of these foreign fighters joined regardless of their countries' diplomatic relations with the Crabs, coming from all corners of Jagdas to wage what many called a crusade and to take revenge against the Crabs, despite the peaceful teachings of their teacher deity. The Battle plans of the Followers of G0nf was based an a previous invasion plan formed by Bleeksnoet and Uby1234. 2 two days prior to the war Bleeksnoet asked to the members of the Free Trade Interfaith Council if they would back Regilmold if they would do a preemptive strike on the crabs. They feared that the proclamations they would make in the upcoming congress would anger the crabs to the point that Regilmold would be invaded. Knowing that Regilmold alone would not be able to withstand such an attack alone they decided to gather close allies and strike them after their reaction in congress. This all changed after G0nf was crucified and instead of a "just in case" battleplan it turned into a full blown military operation. The plan was to gather up at Kaapitalism and take boats from the mesa shores to the islands of Crab_season. Pictures made before the battles showed that one of the three islands could be easiliy invaded from the ocean, once the troops landed on that islands they would move up towards the main island and claim the glass roof, which they then could punch through once claimed. The battleplan mostly fell apart once the invasion started however.
