Execution of G0NF (event)

The Execution of G0NF took place on August 20. The towns of DragonEgg and Crab_Season teamed up together because they thought G0NF was being annoying with his preaching. Players AlexCreate and Doubble_MBA found G0NF's town, G0NFTOWN, and teleported The_Schlank and BobitheCrab to them. After G0NF was struck by lightning, they attacked him and killed him repeatedly, until they get his player head. G0NF hid in his mine with the door closed, which the attackers couldn't get through. The_Schlank attacked through the door and killed him once again. After this, G0NF disbanded his nation and his town, and two followers of G0NF (Fishboy9972 and StaleKale0936) teleported to him, and they barricaded the mine. Doubble_MBA claimed the plot in which they hid, so he and The_Schlank broke down the door and killed the three. G0NF sought refuge with Chad_Thundercuk in the small town of Tuba on a small desert island. Katczinsky001 from Al Mayin, Dhofar, came into the house and ejected G0NF from the town. Doubble_MBA and AlexCreate followed G0NF to Tuba, and The_Schlank and BobitheCrab teleported to them. The_Schlank lead G0NF out to the river, created a cross out of wood, put him up there, and killed him. Many people teleported to Tuba, when G0NF teleported back to the town and spoke from on the cross again. Lightning struck around G0NF again, and he left the server. The_Schlank put an end crystal on top of the cross. Someone destroyed it, destroying the cross and killing two people.

In response to what he described as a “callous act of cruelty and disrespect to G0NF’s people”, High Disciple Laughinglemons1 denounced the crucifixion, before canonising G0NF as a saint and martyr of Hallowism. The Cult of Taala and the Followers of Orikaeth also publicly denounced the event. In addition, this event has lead to significant rise of tensions between GONFist and anti-GONFist forces on the server, something many fear may devolve into conflict. GONF's head was taken by his executioners then sold, whilst the site of his death has been preserved by the Dhofari under direct order of Sultan FlippantNerd as a historical site, with the cross rebuilt.

Poetry
"It was night and day when G0NF was killed,

hung on logs and shot and drilled

Betrayed when in need,

but murdered and freed,

Lightning struck that tempered hill."

- Hallowist Poem of St. G0NF

The army on the hill
"Was tis a visitor

and nothing more

He brought a friend

and nothing more

He brought an army

and people began to morn"

-Doubble_MBA

The dread ahead
"Lighting struck the hill

But his body stood still

The rain began to pour

G0NF locked the door

the little men hid

they were nothing more than kids"

-Doubble_MBA
