TheRealJay-Cantheallmighty Incident

Prelude
The incident began on October 24th with a disagreement between two parties who weren't actually affiliated with either Uldarash or Yimmu. Apparently, it all began with a broken promise. Around 1 pm EST, cantheallmighty, a resident of Hapatmitas and a citizen of the Uldarash Empire, logged on to discover that the club he'd built by the Grizzly Bear Bar had been destroyed and looted. Obviously Can was upset by this, and when he asked about it in chat, two members of SewerMafia, DrLunkin and greentomato5, said that they had destroyed it while raiding the Grizzly Bear Bar in order to punish the proprieter of the Grizzly Bear, Carpicious, for having broken a promise.

Chapter 1: The Insult War
While Can was complaining that he hadn't broken any promises with SewerMafia and didn't deserve to have his stuff griefed, the founder of Yimmu-Audal, StoryStudio, tried to offer resources to Can to help him rebuild his club, which Can refused. Can then demanded that DrLunkin tell him what country they were a member of, to which DrLunkin replied "Vir and Yimmu". A few moments later Can responded with: " » oh and btw did u say you were part of yimmu » isnt that the egyptian place » well its ugly as fuck no surprise none of yall know how to build"

Story, who did much of the building in Yimmu, took offense to this, saying that Can's insults were unwarranted, and that DrLunkin wasn't even an official citizen of Yimmu-Audal. Story then tried to keep things friendly, offering Can a tour of Urnu-Arrak, saying that he must be confusing the city with somewhere else if he was saying it was ugly. Can simply responded with "ive been to urnu-arrak and i have my opinion i dont think i will change it"

In response to Can's insults, Yimmu's military leader, TheRealJay, demanded that Can apologize for insulting Urnu-Arrak and Story's building abilities. Can refused to apologize, saying that he deserved an apology from DrLunkin for destroying his club, to which Story responded that DrLunkin wasn't part of Yimmu, and that they had nothing to do with them. This dispute continued for some time, Jay demanding an apology from Can, Can refusing to give one until he received an apology from DrLunkin, each side insulting the other, etc. etc.

After a bit of bickering, Story tried to extend an olive branch to Can, offering him a tour of Urnu-Arrak, and a donation of building materials to rebuild his club, to no avail. After yet more bickering, Can agreed to meet Jay in a VIR town where Jay could return Can's items, and Can could apologize for his insults. However, Can's apology came off as fake, especially when he continued to unleash a barrage of insults attacking Yimmu's builds.

Despite this, Can ended up taking Story up on the tour of Urnu-Arrak, and for a moment it looked like things might de-escalate. But Can didn't stop his flurry of insults, and after about 25 minutes of Can insulting Urnu-Arrak, and Jay insulting Can in turn, Can decided to invite Jay to come to his home town of Hapatmitas to see his builds. The insults continued as before, but as time wore on, things began to escalate, and the flame war eventually culminated in the following exchange:

TheRealJay2 » Still able to end you

cantheallmighty » end me as many times youd like

Chapter 2: The Hapatmitas Massacre
Jay proceeded to kill cantheallmighty a grand total of 10 times in a row, and at 2:54 pm EST, cantheallmighty logged out. Another resident of Hapatmitas, wurmbo, was also killed, and had their valuables stolen.

Chapter 3: Uldarash Steps In
Let's take a step back and rewind. The previous day (October 23rd) before any of this happened, Jay was seen snooping around Uldarash's southern capital of Sanctuary and showing signs of aggression. The Uldarashi government reached out to Caliph Dalatra in response, telling her what had happened, that they were uncomfortable with what Jay was doing, and to keep him out of Uldarashi territory. So when, at 2:34 on October 24th, Jay was spotted in Hapatmitas, Uldarashi officials were concerned. But little was thought of Jay's presence until, at 2:44, a message from cantheallmighty appeared in the general chat of the Uldarash discord, which read:

»yea so guys

»we need a war on jay

Can went on to explain that Jay had killed both him and wurmbo, and that he had made off with wurmbo's valuables. Many of Uldarash's top officials hadn't been on the server in the run-up to the events being described, they just knew that Jay had killed their citizens and stolen their items, and they were furious. A meeting was planned by Uldarashi officials to take place 20 minutes later to discuss what Uldarash's demands would be when negotiations with Yimmu began. But before they could meet, Harbardr, TheRealJay, dexter og, and BlueMarble of Yimmu, as well as Enfys, and a few other representatives of other nations, joined the Uldarash discord and began talking amongst themselves in the General VC channel. At 3:20, the Uldarashi Minister of Foreign Affairs, Duke Squirrel, informed the Yimmu representatives that Uldarash was ready to open negotiations, on the condition that Jay would not be present at the meeting. Harbardr replied that Jay was the leader of the Yimmu military, and that he should be present at the meeting. Uldarash stood it's ground and refused to have a meeting with Jay present. Shortly thereafter, all of Yimmu's representatives left the Uldarash discord, and Uldarashi officials were informed that they had moved into the "war" vc channel in the Yimmu discord.

Chapter 4: The Brink of War
War appeared imminent to Uldarash, and diplomatic scrambling began to secure alliances, and prepare a military force that could fight back against a potential Yimmu invasion. But after a while, Uldarashi officials finally got Yimmu's side of the story, and when they found out what had provoked the incident, they changed their tune. It became apparent that this whole thing had been a misunderstanding, Jay returned wurmbo's items, Uldarash apologized for Can's insults, and Yimmu apologized for Jay's actions.

Chapter 5: Falling Action and The Greatest Sci-Fi of All Time
With the threat of war gone, conversation between the leaders and officials present in the diplomacy channel on the Uldarash discord became more casual. At some point, Star Wars came up, and so the topic of science fiction media in general became the topic of discussion. At some point, a debate arose over what "the greatest sci-fi of all time" was, and Enfys suggested that the title of "the greatest sci-fi of all time" belonged to none other than the 1985 movie "Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future". Nobody else in the call had seen the film, so Enfys declared that it was now "movie night" and that anyone that watched until the end would receive a mending book. Several people stayed for about the first 20 minutes, very few people stayed until the very end, and nobody got a mending book. But in the end, a good time was had all around.

Chapter 6: Aftermath
Obviously, very little came of the "almost-war" between the Empires of Uldarash, and Yimmu-Audal. In fact, the only notable thing to come of the ordeal was TheRealJay's removal as a citizen of Ardat Mosul on account his almost starting a world war. However, the ordeal does offer some food for thought when considering the future of Rathnir. Since the Turtelonian wars, the world of Rathnir has been largely peaceful, and some are hungry for conflict. So though we don't know how the war will start, or how it will end, I think it's safe to say that a war is coming to Rathnir, and that it will happen sooner, rather than later.
