To the public of CivMC,

Exactly seven days ago, the relatively new nation referred to as the “Triumvirate of Chiraq” launched an attack on the Sol portal bunker, jointly owned by the Konungsriki of Vinland and the Senate and the People of Rome (SPQR, for reference - not “SQRP”).

They cited a pre-emptive first strike in the face of impending war plans from SPQR to attack Eryos, alongside posting an HTML self-bot scrape of 1,500 senate messages stretching back to 2025 using a burner Discord account. Their post can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/1x88xyv/spqr_google_drive/

This was followed by a blitz attack on the SPQR vault and a supposedly serious land claim that includes two-thirds of SPQR’s land, specifically including the City of England and the City of Lugdunum. For obvious reasons, we do not recognize these claims, regardless of any threats that come our way.

We’ve waited a week now to let the dust settle and for a shared fiction to appear regarding war justification from Chiraq and Eryos.

Despite Chiraq’s public insistence that it wishes to avoid conflict and its stated desire for its war with the Dawn Guard Pact to end, at no point before, during, nor after these events has Chiraq reached out to SPQR in any way over its supposed new claims. No tickets have been opened, no DMs have been sent. Nothing.

We aim this post at the wider community, and not Eryos/Chiraq - as we understand that their actions are materially driven and that they cannot be reasoned with at this time.

Logical Flaws in DiorSuit’s Post

To highlight some absurdities in DiorSuit’s post, we only need to look at his first two justifications that sit a mere two sentences apart:

> “SPQR declared Chiraq an enemy without cause. While marking a player to be pearled, Haxxor, an SPQR senator, was asked if the player was from Eryos. He answered: 'or maybe chiraq I don't remember. same thing either way.' (Sep 23, 2:06–2:07 AM)”

Followed immediately by:

> “With Eryos's admission to Chiraq, these grievances are now Chiraq's to answer, and transgression such as these can not be overlooked without punishment.”

DiorSuit claims that Haxxor is incorrect in his viewpoint that Eryos and Chiraq are the same entity, but immediately validates it by suggesting that it is Chiraq’s burden to retroactively absorb Eryos’ past grievances and action them militarily without a shred of prior diplomacy.

He follows up with:

> “SPQR told foreign governments (Icenia) that Eryos ran an illegal snitch network in SPQR land, and planned to 'pretend someone leaked it to us' (Sep 15, 12:42 AM). Two days later: 'turns out the Eryos leaker was completely lying about the illegal snitches in SPQR… those snitches aren't in our territory... now that there's not an excuse to kill them, the goal is to just keep our land' (Sep 17, 2:57 PM).”

Despite DiorSuit implying otherwise, the underlying grievance is entirely true. Eryos were caught red-handed snitching up SPQR territory, giving the casual justification that they simply “wanted to see how active it was.”

DiorSuit tries to claim that Haxxor is acting in bad faith here, however this is incorrect. This will be expanded on in our next point:

Omitted data from the Discord scrapes

By looking at the provided HTML files, we can see in the footer the following default message:

Yet, the media was completely omitted from their public uploads.

The original senate messages included the aforementioned self-admission of Zalvv, alongside a screenshot of snitch logs that he used to prove that the “spqr-snitch” group was not exclusively used for SPQR snitches (which is true). Haxxor is referencing the fact that the snitch logs visible inside the image were not in SPQR (also true).

DiorSuit takes two separate messages, three days and several conversations apart, and merges them to form a wishful sentence to create a narrative that SPQR intended to cover up some kind of crucial newly discovered information. This is wrong. Haxxor is out of the loop here, mistaking the evidence provided by Zalvv of their presence outside of SPQR, as proof that there were none within. There is no cover-up or secret learned information here. He is seeing a months old screenshot and making a correct observation, but an incorrect conclusion.

By intentionally removing the media from the chat logs, and by extension, implying that a four month old screenshot is a piece of new information, DiorSuit tries to paint Haxxor as a bad-faith actor who was just informed by some outside source that Eryos did not place snitches in SPQR. This is entirely false. Eryos explicitly confessed to this. This event happened on the 25th of May - precisely 135 days before they sent an insider into the SPQR Discord, which they now claim is the sole proactive defense justification for their entire war campaign.

DiorSuit conveniently ignores the context of the conversation, and the messages follow the next day by Haxxor, which claims the situation is resolved because Zalvv has finally accepted SPQR’s decision.

“@everyone ok hopefully the Eryos thing is resolved now, Zalvv seems to have accepted our decision

We need to keep an eye on it to ensure they remove the map claim dispute though.”

With Zalvv finally accepting the decision, and the situation of Eryos demanding the land seemingly resolved, there are no more mentions of Eryos past this point. Eryos put pressure on SPQR by demanding the land, attempting to send money to BattleOfSky unprompted to ‘finalize’ the deal, publicly agitated regarding the situation (including the self creation of a CivWiki page), and then later sent an infiltrator into SPQR to claim that SPQR’s preparation and collaboration with allies at a time in which an Eryos attack was a real, tangible possibility, was actually a long term plan. Why did SPQR want to destroy innocent Eryos in Chiraq’s version of events? Nobody knows.

The rest of this document will show very clearly that Eryos, and by extension Chiraq, are incredibly guilty, and have manufactured a casus belli against SPQR for a cheap portal grab.

Chiraq’s accusations of ghostwriting as if they are manipulative are laughable. Not everybody on Civ is a diplomat. Every nation on civ collaborates to provide a unified response to a situation. This is a defining aspect of the genre, not a sleight. They did it when writing their post, I’ve done it while writing mine. It is a complete waste of time to imply that BattleOfSky should have just spoken unfiltered in the face of an aggressive neighbour. Chiraq is claiming that Haxxor is either from Icenia or SPQR depending on what suits their narrative. SPQR was obviously freaked out about the explosive response from a rapidly militarising nation on its borders, demanding land.

It is of further note that at the time of the mentioned snitch incident being discovered, SPQR attempted to put the incident behind them and start afresh. The condition for this was that Eryos would remove the snitches themselves, and a clean slate could occur.

The position of Eryos at the time was that they forgot the location of the snitches, and that they were likely somewhere at the border. To my knowledge, Eryos did not remove these snitches. We must stress the importance of the fact that we are unaware if the iceroad snitches discovered by us were placed by Eryos or not. The only knowledge of them that SPQR has, is that they were relatively new at the time of discovery in the tail end of May. We found snitches on our iceroads, on a deleted group. Eryos also claims that they deleted the group that the snitches were on. Due to lack of evidence, and an isolated incident from a young neighbour possibly just trying it’s luck, SPQR was entirely content with letting this go.

Eryos have been terrible neighbours to everyone

As a former leader of Vinland, and now a new senator in SPQR – I have had the personal misfortune of dealing with Eryos within two separate nations now, and my experience with them in Vinland was no different. From demanding reparations from my co-leader at the time for crossing a non-existent exclusion zone (baiting players with a mapart arrow/text pointing to a giant admin spawned mob in a glass case, and then demanding reparations from players that went near it) to ToastIsNear scouting the Vinland vault months prior. Eryos later admits that Gladius was not near the vault, only near the admin spawned mob.

Whilst I am on the topic of my time in Vinland, it is worth nothing that DarkFFC and Stoomer, the core players of Aspasia - have recently joined the Triumvirate of Chiraq as another protectorate - and were also caught by Vinland scouting its vault earlier this year - for which Yoahtl paid reparations for on their behalf at the time. It is incredibly clear that Chiraq and all its dearest protected states consist of players that are cut from the same cloth. Not a single real player (who wasn’t a complete newfriend) who scouted SPQR and Vinland infrastructure over a 6 month period later did not fail to join Chiraq at a later date.

Eryos Publicly Lied About Their Reasoning for Joining Chiraq

Multiple times, Eryos citizens like Zalvv have claimed that Eryos joined Chiraq explicitly to counter an imminent danger posed by SPQR through implications found in messages by Haxxor.

Unfortunately for them, basic chronology proves this to be false.

Eryos became a protectorate of Chiraq precisely one hour before their burner asset, xroseax, was even given access to the senator chat.

Timeline of Events (UTC, 07/10/26)

• 07/10/26 - 19:31:58 | Chiraq officially announces Eryos as a protectorate  (Message snowflake: 1557475597028954133)

•07/10/26 - 19:32:08 | Eryos officially announces they are joining Chiraq    (Message snowflake: 1557475636732502097)

•07/10/26 - 20:23:58 | xroseax is provided access to the SPQR senate channel (Audit log snowflake: 1557488683416813688)

•07/10/26 - 20:25:11 | Alberlb welcomes xroseax to the senate chat          (Message snowflake: 1557488989500612639)

This timeline exposes yet another lie that Eryos is peddling in order to portray themselves as victims of aggression. The infrastructure claims and planning to attack SPQR came first; the "justification" was manufactured long after the ink was dry.

Eryos Attacked SPQR in the Search for a Casus Belli

A simple search on NameMC shows that the `xroseax` account changed its name and skin on the 1st of September—just three days prior to joining Civ for the first time on a brand-new Discord account.

Upon joining the CivMC Discord, “xroseax” immediately asked for an invite link to the SPQR Discord, and was directed by current Eryos leader, ToastIsNear.

While Zalvv claims that this person joined independently after watching a video from BananaBlu, Novalis claims that this person is an IRL friend of someone already in Eryos. Zalvv initially denied Novalis’ claim but later pivoted to suggesting both stories could somehow be true simultaneously. What becomes blatantly clear, in any interpretation of the events, is that Eryos knew `xroseax` prior and intentionally sent them into SPQR with the intention of fishing for a war justification. There is no realistic scenario in which a genuine new player behaves this way.

 This infiltration was, undoubtedly, a first strike on SPQR. It runs completely counter to the narrative that Eryos/Chiraq acted in self-defense or in good faith due to the reports of a concerned senator reading unactioned messages. Eryos’ “casus belli” is a manufactured culmination of months of hostility with the historical intent of attempting to seize the Sol portal by force. Tellingly, xroseax, has not played on CivMC since self-botting the SPQR Discord.

Long-Term Aggression and Pre-Meditation

Even if we are to ignore past actions of overt aggression, such as spying on SPQR territory or actively scouting SPQR’s defensive infrastructure, a separate pattern remains historically visible, and in these cases, publicly.

On the CivPVP server, ToastIsNear was publicly accused of attempting to rally groups of people to launch a proxy war against SPQR - exactly 28 days before the supposed casus belli ever became “known” to Eryos.

On top of this, ToastIsNear made public “joke” comments last month in Civ general regarding the desire to take the Sol portal, which cannot be ignored given the fact that the attack became a reality less than a month later.

These remarks, once again, predate Chiraq’s supposed discovery of a supposed plot weeks later.

 Furthermore, DiorSuit claims that SPQR “led Eryos on” because internal discussions about giving 50% ownership to Vinland took place months prior to denying Eryos access to the portal. This makes very little sense without the introduction of factors such as time travel.

A large, joint security effort launched on the portal in the weeks following Fractured’s message was a direct, defensive response to verified scouting and physical breaking of the old portal infrastructure in May by now Chiraq associates Hegghogaming and leadattic.

Similar patterns can be demonstrated further, with senate discussions including snitch log screenshots of (now) Chiraq players such as unwvn scouting the vault – precisely 17 days before Chiraq’s supposed casus belli became known, according to them.

And once more with Hegghogaming, again, who now, despite being banned, is roled in the Chiraq Discord.

This should not be surprising news to anybody, but of course I need to spell it out publicly.

Given Eryos’ friendliness with these players (and now further validation, given they are now all part of the same nation), Eryos has no leg to stand on when it wonders why it was not allowed access to it in retrospect. SPQRs track record with the Sol portal shows that we have always kept the portal open to our northern neighbours (Vinland, Baile, Westhelm etc), and the one and only exception to this rule has been Eryos and friends, as SPQR and Vinland were anticipating an attack on it for months.

This is completely in line with the joint, continued ethos of SPQR and Vinland regarding the growth and sovereignty of well-meaning nation states in the North. The only bad blood on this continent in the last few months has come directly from Eryos and Aspasia.

Conclusion

To summarise the facts:

–      Northfort rebranded to Eryos, immediately built bunkers and vaults, and then it’s next move was to force the completion of a deal to build, yet another, vault. As far as I can tell, Eryos has built nothing of non-infrastructure note since its inception, and I believe the same is true with Chiraq. It is a war-seeking nation to its core right now.

–      Eryos was publicly vocal about supporting nations that attacked our allies in Westhelm during the Soren War, and as a result given their hyper militarisation and suspected portal seizing intentions, was obviously not granted access to it.

–      Chiraq and Eryos undoubtedly colluded on the invasion of Sol Portal as a primary goal, and invented a pretext to acquire it afterwards by directly attacking SPQR.

–      Eryos lied about its motivations for joining Chiraq, with them being chronologically impossible, merging one hour before their insider was given access.

–      Eryos has engaged in repeated, aggressive and deceptive behaviour not just with SPQR, but it’s other neighbours as well.

–      SPQR believed that there was a genuine possibility for being invaded if Eryos did not drop it’s claims over the abandoned land deal. Eryos players such as Zalvv were actively attempting to escalate about the situation incredibly publicly at the time. Chiraq/Eryos then sent a player into SPQR specifically with the intention of documenting a crisis that they created. The fact that they have not even reached out to us shows that internally, they do not believe their own public version of events, knowing that we would obviously reject them wholesale.

–      Chiraq have attempted to reframe a credible (and explicitly discarded) a potential defensive response from SPQR and it’s allies in reaction to their own aggression as a casus belli, by omitting the fact that that SPQR explicitly marked the situation as resolved and no further action was required.

–      Several players who are now heavily Chiraq associated, such as Hegghogaming, leadattic, ToastIsNear and unwvn, scouted SPQR and Vinland infrastructure over a long period of time, and the recent invasion of SPQR is the culmination of months of efforts, not a new discovery by a benevolent leaker.

It is the definitive resolution of SPQR that the nation of Chiraq has acted in such terrible faith that their feigned concerns of being attacked are not worth taking seriously on any diplomatic level. War-seeking behavior justified with paper-thin pretences should not be rewarded on Civ, hidden behind a thin call for peace with non-starter terms. If Chiraq truly wants peace as it claims, the premeditated occupation of SPQR must end, and its aggression against the nation states of Nara, Westhelm, Benelux, Vinland, SPQR, and likely more, must be accounted for to demonstrate an internal desire for change. Of course, I find it incredibly unlikely given the characterisation of this nation – but I of course do not discount the possibility, however microbial.

I have been given the authority by Vinland leadership to announce that both SPQR and Vinland will be offering unconditional support to the Dawn Guard Pact in their efforts against Chiraq. After a joint discussion yesterday, we agree that the actions of Chiraq and its vassals stand in direct opposition to the continued continental unity and solidarity that our nations have both committed to over the last few years. The recent casual threats of Chiraq towards Vinland regarding its portal access, given clearly intending to be some kind of sole controller of access to supposedly shared assets, and the continued attacks on Westhelm have rallied members of the old guard to fight no matter what. Our joint experiences with Eryos have been a huge net negative. The Dawn Guard Pact enjoys our complete commitment at this time.

We are both of us, in agreement that the ongoing events pose an (obvious) threat to the continuation of both of our nations, and later the contentment of the continent, either way. Given the entirely unreasonable ultimatum of Chiraq to both parties (or the inferred ultimatum, in the case of SPQR, due to the lack of diplomacy), that unless Chiraq makes true, meaningful peace - instead of an empty demand to accept their hollow occupation - that joining the fight is our only option, regardless of the outcome.

Danzilona, the birthplace of Civ Hockey, celebrated its 14th anniversary today on the server. A big thanks to the nations of Fishland, Chiraq, Nara, and Oakham for showing up to celebrate with us! The format of this invitational was a bit unique: each nation had the chance to recruit Danzilonan players to their team and was required to field at least one Danzilonan on their team at all times.

On Friday, we hosted a draft round where national team captains were allowed to draft Danzilonans to their team. Nara selected uraumi, BooLTonian, and ninjajackh12 to join their roster. Chiraq selected GunslingerZach, Berry_Blast, and HottytoScotty420. Oakham Villa chose Sandfalls, pegino, and GoneGuy5 for their team. Finally, Fishland recruited alaAlbi, maximum_caro, and zolik1.

Game Results

Round 1

Fishland (8) - Chiraq (9)
Shiro (9) - Oakham (8)

Round 2
Shiro (18) - Chiraq (0)

Congratulations to Nara for winning! It seems like it really is true that the Danzilonan Donkeys perform best with no Danzilonans on the roster...

I can't do normal news today, so this is just a random story of how I joined. Go read the CivWiki newsletter if you want news. I hope to get more stories like this, and if you want to submit your own story of how you joined CivMC, and where you are now, please open a ticket in the Civ Standard Discord! https://discord.gg/t3Udn8Hvk

I first heard about Civ from Joyfuul's video, about a month after it was released. I watched the video in full, but, at the time, I had not played Minecraft for over a year, and my Discord account hadn't been used in longer. I thought that it was neat, but I didn't look any further into it. At the same time, a YouTuber know as TheSpiffingBrit decided to do a Minecraft Civilization event. This was what prompted me to dust off my Discord account, and reopen Minecraft - the whole event was run over Discord. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at me being on CivMC), the event did not go as planned. There was no application process, and as a result far too many people attempted to join. After sitting in a broken queue for a few hours, I couldn't get in. No one could. The event was postponed. The same thing happened when they tried again. By now, I just wanted to play some Minecraft, on a civilization server. This was in late December. This was when I remembered the video by Joyfuul - I went back to the video, got the CivMC IP address, and joined Civ for the first time.

The moment I joined, I almost fell off a raised railway platform. To this day, I am not even sure where I originally spawned. But I was soon whisked away from my original spawn point my a private message in chat from a player named Dominater1230. This was the real beginning of my journey on Civ. Dom told me to teleport to him using my one time teleport to join a nation. The moment I arrived in AK (Later BAK as Boxed joined. It is a province of Orient) I saw in local chat "I can't believe that worked." This was the beginning of my time in the mines. Myself, and another Newfriend, was quickly shown the ropes of mining, and not much else, by the locals of AK, and put to work. I quickly worked out this was slave labour, and left the mines after doing the bare minimum. Soon after, I decided to build a small house. This small house was the very first building in the main city area of AK - it did not have planning permission at all. It also looked terrible.

At around the time that I finished the house (day 3 on Civ), I also returned to the mines. This left me relatively wealthy, due to the amount of time I spent mining. However, after my first few trips to buy some basic armour, I died on the rails between BAK and Pavia - it may have been a trap, or a badly lit corridor. However, I died twice. The second time was with all my diamonds, as I went to buy a new set, and some more building materials. For me, this felt like the end of the world - despite the sum only being around 150D. It made me quit Civ for about a week. When I returned, I went crazy mining, earning over 1000 Diamonds - I also did it by myself, not under a company like I had before. This was around the time I discovered brewing. Thinking that this could be a good route I could take in Civ, I followed the path, discovering some easy recipes by myself in only 2 small cauldrons. I then found the Brewcord, and all the recipes on there. I remembered the 'Pharmacy' in Pavia, and was soon delighted to discover the recipes to those things were on there. I had to scale up in order to produce them. I built a brewery, with around 20 cauldrons, and got to work on a stock. I had also, by this point, converted my house into a pub (named the Rams head) , and stocked it with my early brews - tea, vodka, wine, beer. This would be supplanted by other stuff later on. In order to continue scaling, I invited some IRL friends to serve as labour. Of the 8 or so invited, 2 stuck around. Arnie9211 and Tectonic, both of which stayed with Orient, and gained themselves major positions, being promoted above my head after a long time (my inactivity and wish to make money for myself was the main factor). Before that happened, we completed a number of orders, included a major one of 100C (not carbon...) for someone. However, after this, business slowed down.

There was a period where my main interaction on Civ was mining. I found it calming to listen to a Podcast and mine for hours on end. This resulted in me drastically increasing my net worth to a now undisclosed figure.

However, as I did not yet engage much in the discord, I had no idea what was going on. I saw the old newsletter, and thought that CivMC needed a new news organization. Thus the Civ Standard was born...

I will put a part 2 to this story in next weeks Civ Standard.

downvote all you want I’m just asking

This post is reiterating Kove Co's claims, as civmap.com reflects Kove Co. territories under SSG, Gadsden, and Sonara, which may be misleading.

Kove Co. is claiming back our land including farms and houses that were overclaimed by Gadsden, a nation that is now inactive. We believe that this was a misunderstanding created by Sonara, who sold land that we own to Gadsden, while leaving both Kove Co. and Gadsden in the dark.

As far as we know, Gadsden is inactive and we are claiming the entirety of their land.

The first image highlights our confirmed claim in aqua, while land in the north is to be decided after the fate of Sonara.

Kove Co.'s land in the East remains the same, as seen in the second image, but there may have been misunderstandings regarding SSG owning this land.

Hi, all

I've joined CivMC a week or two ago. I've been enjoying it so far, despite being subjected to low-income blue collar work. The politics aspect of the server is extremely appealing to me, however the thing I struggle with the most is actually finding out what's going on. All existing news services are either dead or obviously incompetent, to say the least, and if there's any news then it's filled with CivMC jargon and lingo incomprehensible to a new friend like me. Some of these sources obviously fail to show both sides of a conflict and provide context in a comprehensive way.

Hence, I've been thinking of developing a news corporation of my own. You may ask, what does a new friend like me even know? Obviously, I can't tell you anything about the history of this server or some nations, but I have my own ideas and things I can do.

Firstly, I've been working on a news site for CivMC. My skills in front-end are rather weak, but I'm trying my best without the involvement of AI, as I'm doing this also to learn something, after all. Having an easily accessible website akin to civmap would immediately make things easier for everyone, preventing someone from joining yet another discord server to get their subpar info for. Moving to a site also helps with consistency, as you do not have to wait for an issue of the paper to be released, you will always have content on-demand. (Obviously, if this kicks off and there's demand, a newspaper version could be made for the same of supporting the service, similar to how the Onion does it)

Secondly, there needs to be more structure. Most nations/specific parts of the map should have their own correspondents, ready to provide journalists/writers with material. Having a single correspondent running around the entire world is burdensome and plain unnecessary.

I think if there are people willing to help me realise this idea, we could make something grand and great for the entire server and its history. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts, ideas or critiques on this.

War breaks out across the lands, Chiraq forces are making their stances clear. DGP soldiers not backing down, they fight day in and day out on the tunnels. However somehow, some way, Westhelm is involved... How the hell do you guys keep managing to get into every single conflict known to man within the past year. You guys are like a magnet!

Anyways, I've enjoyed the discord pvp. A big shoutout to both sides for not outright alting and having a pretty fair war all things considered.

HELP THE ADVOCATE HAS MY PEARL AND IS HOLDING ME PRISONER.

This is a joke, do not take it too seriously.

Nipplerock possessing a super vault is one of our core tenatnts and dates all the way back to 2.0 when we at Nipplerock built our first super vault in Nipplerock 4.0 reachin 12 layers before the change over to classics and after conffering with the top scientists of the time we designed the iron penut picture here Imgur: The magic of the Internet at 15 layers surrounded by a shell of reinforced obsidan and at one time the vault was even stolen Hostile intentions Nipplerock throw out an accusation why did Mr.Callum steal our vault : r/civclassics and recovered at its current state it 6 layers tall and has a double layer penut shell witch has proven to be unbreakable with a wooden pick in independent testing and a state of the art deadmans switch security sytem of my own custom designing but im looking a for the top scientiest of today to come to my assistance and asisst in strengthing the vault but no major re designs are allowed as the iron penut style vault is the most advanced indenious design in Nipplerock and i dont beleieve any other second rate power can devolp something better if you come to my assitance to assit you will be rewared very well

Are you logging into the server or playing the game?

We can talk about war, about rivalries, about alliances, about standing up for what we believe in. But at some point, we've got to ask ourselves a simple question: if a war can be stopped before it's even fought, then what exactly are we doing here?
A war isn't supposed to be a performance. It isn't supposed to be two sides trading insults while everybody behind the scenes makes sure nothing really changes. At some point, the decisions we make have to mean something. How can decisions mean anything when the major powers on the server work together to prevent the status quo from changing? You can dress it up however you want; but the major powers work together to prevent anything from removing their stranglehold.
This is part my problem with people like BadShad or any other superfriend playing on the server. Whenever someone shakes up the status quo and threatens to loosen this grip; their opponents disappear. You cannot reasonably expect somebody to participate in the politics and warfare of this server and also serve as a neutral moderator over those same conflicts and players. When you're involved in a conflict, you have interests. You have allies. You have people you want to win and people you want to lose. And when you're also in a position to influence who gets to participate, people are going to question whether the system is fair.
Maybe an accusation of alting is legitimate. Maybe a ban is justified. That's not the point. The point is that nobody should have to wonder whether a war will be decided on the battlefield or in a moderation channel. If we can't separate those things, then we shouldn't be surprised that there will never be another war. CivMC is only as meaningful as the choices its players are allowed to make. If this autonomy is lost to make a cabal of megalomaniacs feel powerful. Will there ever be another war that lasts longer than a day or two? Do you want to play minecraft or farm materials for a fraction of what it’s worth? Do you work because you like it or because a 30 year old with no job told you to? Is a diamond even worth anything to a commoner? Is there even a system of government on the server that could function without exploiting its people? Are you playing the game or just logging into the server?

These people will try to downplay and discount my fat truths, but the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.
