**//"By decision of people of Gribostan, from now on so-called Slavia is declared a terrorist organization of monarchists and reactionists and an existential threat to progress, worldwide peace and prosperity. (...)

We don't negotiate with terrorists. The recidivistic perpetrators of war crimes, of crimes against humanity shall be brought to justice."//

</WRAP>
What started as beacon stealing competition and minor skirmishes here and there ended up escalating to the point of two nations nuking eachother with withers.

===== Background =====
After a succesful [[battles:battle_of_gribostan|defence of Gribostan]] and getting independence from [[nations:slavia|Slavia]], Urfin wasn't satisfied by peace conditions he and Rickroll ended up signing, as well as got pretty annoyed by merril's continuous shittalk towards him and [[nations:gribostan|Gribostan]] in general. On January 29th, 2022 Urfin_Djus sent an ultimatum to Rickroll, demanding compensation for the bombing and several other things, which Rickroll rejected. And thus, the war began.
===== Before The Battle =====
The war has already been going for two and a half weeks, but everything was strangely quiet. In an attempt to save his nation from dissolving due to insufficient active members, Rickroll invited sxiv to join [[nations:slavia|Slavia]]. After accepting his invite, sxiv very quickly began getting involved into the war, repeatedly visiting [[nations:gribostan|Gribostan]], skirmishing with G21_JARTOP, breaking blocks and stealing beacons. In response, FROST1, executing Urfin_Djus' orders, took the beacons from [[settlements:slavnograd|Slavnograd]] and Nikolaev, thus provoking sxiv and merril to attack.
===== The Battle =====
=== The beginning ===
sxiv and merril entered [[nations:gribostan|Gribostan]] and encountered FROST1, who had just returned home and wasn't prepared for fighting. They quickly overran and cornered him, killing him for the first time. FROST1 set off the alarm and called for reinforcements in the face of Yeruzo and Urfin_Djus. When they arrived, sxiv retreated, and merril logged off in combat, losing the first micro-battle as well as the initiative.
=== The Chaos ===
In an attempt to regain the initiative and force sxiv and merril back on the battlefield, Urfin_Djus flew to [[settlements:slavnograd|Slavnograd]] and pressed the W button, summoning first withers of the war and going past the point of no return. FROST1 in the meantime was doing the same thing in Nikolaev. After a while, sxiv rejoined the battle, attacking FROST1, but he retreated. Urfin_Djus came back to [[nations:gribostan|Gribostan]] to fight sxiv. sxiv attempted to retreat using elytra, but Urfin chased him on elytra of his own. The two fought in the air for a bit, but ended up landing on top of some random platform high up in the sky. An epic anime duel ended with sxiv flying away yet again and dissapearing into the fog of war.
Urfin returned to [[settlements:slavnograd|Slavnograd]] and spawned some more withers, as well as robbing the city of anything valuable, including gold and diamonds from churches and squares. After hitting important targets like villager farm, Urfin thought his side was victorious and left the game.
Initially - nine withers were spawned around [[nations:slavia|Slavia]]. Three in [[settlements:wyadreim_kingdom|Wyadreim]] and six in [[settlements:slavnograd|Slavnograd]]. 

But sxiv and merril were not just hiding doing nothing. They prepared a response attack on the heart of [[nations:gribostan|Gribostan's]] capital, devastating the town with withers and TNT. FROST1 desperately tried to defend it, but died multiple times and the withers were only killed when main forces of [[nations:gribostan|Gribostan]], including NewtonSava and G21_JARTOP arrived. Withers left most of the town in shamles - almost all the buildings were considerably damaged, additionally - withers killed most of yews and horses in [[nations:gribostan|Gribostan]]. It took them some effort to liberate the city and they died several times in the process. Together with FROST1 and Yeruza, they encountered sxiv, who followed the footsteps of merril and logged off in combat.

Around that time, G21_JARTOP and merril probably died in the void due to unknown causes.

Later in the evening, NewtonSava caught Rickroll placing furnances to obscure chests in [[nations:gribostan|Gribostan]] and attacked him. Rickroll also logged off, and Sava together with G21 filled the place where he did that with lava and furnances, which killed him on return, however with usage of glitches and sxiv's help Rickroll was able to secure his items.

===== The aftermath =====
The battle ended with a technical victory of [[nations:gribostan|Gribostan]] due to all members of [[nations:slavia|Slavia]] logging off in combat. The following morning war continued with Urfin spawning some more withers, this time focusing om merril's towns, and two sides, despite laying in shambles, refuse to negotiate on peace conditions. Rickroll and merril also made several sorties into enemy territory, destroying farms and killing villagers. 

But it was late February, so the situation soon rapidly changed because of drama inside Gribostan and in real life.

**__Bans:__**
  * Alphazona was banned for a week for using a forbidden client when hostilities took place (wasn't actually involved in fighting).
  * FROST1 was banned for a month due to his TNTing ArleKing's farm which is located in neutral territory and unrelated to either wise of the conflict. - Investigation ongoing
=== Reactions ===
Several international journalists observed the battle.

===== Damages =====
[[nations:slavia|Slavia]]:
Slavnograd, Wyadreim and Nikolaev strongly damaged and looted, most important villagers killed.
[[nations:gribostan|Gribostan]]:
Heavy damage, nearly all villagers killed, a lot of chests blocked with furnaces.
Neutral parties:
  - ArleKing's farm was TNTed beyong recognition, to the point it looked like a Withering. Discovered to be a TNT attack after rollback of wither attacks in the radius of the farm changed nothing.
  - Server crashed due to a rollback attempt of TNT grief.
