The Raids of Grävinstein, or also called the Raids of Budbrooke, were a series of raids conducted by the Viking Cult, due to various reasons.

Background

Sale of Grävinstein

The town of Grävinstein, in early January, was owned by Slickss. After getting bored, he sold it for 10g, to Sleepysloo, a new player. Right after, Sleepysloo started to show signs he was going to leave, and started asking for gold and diamonds from Denmark, which they did not give seeing that he might just leave with them.

Leaving Denmark

Sleepysloo would make Grävinstein leave Denmark without giving a good reason, further increasing hate towards him.

During the Raids

First Raid

The first raid would occur a day after the sale of the town. Slickss would go to the town and kill Sleepysloo around 3 times, and left after gaining random loot, and a few iron tools.

Skirmish of Grävinstein

This would start after Maple_d, and French president Colt_44_Magnum would arrive to the town. Colt immediately killed Sleepysloo, with Maple killing him twice after. German kaiser _Sidon_ also arrived, and killed Sleepysloo around 15 times before leaving. This would end in a huge defeat for Grävinstein, losing many diamond tools, armor and much morale.

Third Raid

The town was once again raided by Slickss, who killed Sleepysloo 5 times. He got a few efficiency tools, and a god bow.

Slowdown

By now, Sleepysloo had been killed around 25 times, and had lost nearly all his stuff. However he continued recruiting, and Slickss and Maple_d continued to attack him.

Fourth Raid

After spotting Sleepysloo online, Maple_d and Slickss went to the town, with Slickss immediately killing him. However Sleepy got his gear back before Slickss could pick it up. After, he attempted to kill Maple_d, but Maple killed Sleepysloo. Sleepysloo would be killed 3 more times after, losing his god gear, god bow, god sword and building materials.

Fifth Raid

The day after the Fourth Raid, Maple went out to find Sleepysloo. Sleepysloo was found in the wilderness, and he quickly got killed 5 times. Sleepysloo requested his items back, and was forced to pay 8 gold in reperations. In the end, Sleepysloo once again lost gold, materials, food, weapons and morale.

Sixth Raid

This was by far one of the largest raids on the town yet. In this, Maple, Slickss and even Warriorrr came to the town. They immediately started to kill everyone, even the two online residents. After about 1 hour of fighting, around 17 kills were counted, and many items were lost for Sleepysloo and his residents.

Skirmish of Budbrooke

MapleVK and Shengderui both arrived at the town of Budbrooke. They stole wood at first, and dug a small pit outside the town. After Shengderui convinced Sleepysloo that he is with him, and got him to make a large pit and enable pvp there. After a bit of fighting, Shengderui attacked Sleepysloo and pushed him into the trap, surprising him. The both jumped in and almost killed him, but he towered out. After this, MapleVK was stuck in the hole, trying to shoot Sleepysloo with his bow. However, Sleepysloo was pushed in after sneaking on the edge. This resulted in him being killed later on, gaining a god set for the attackers.

Eight Raid

This raid was started by MapleVK after he spotted Sleepysloo mining in the wild. After camping for 10 minutes, he spotted Sleepysloo and knocked him down 60 blocks, where he died of fall damage. He dropped god tools, and multiple ores, which Maple left with after. This caused an estimated 25 gold damage to the town.

Second part

After a while, Slickss arrived at the town. He captured Sleepy out of claims, and killed him. He killed him about seven more times afterwards, in the end gaining him a god diamond pickaxe and a few other items.

Counter-Attack

After Sleepysloo had lost nearly all his neccesary items, he decided to tp to Denmark over and over. However a few more Brits took notice, and Sleepysloo started to die, totalling up to 13 deaths. The battle soon moved to Budbrooke, where he got killed a further 5 times. He managed to trap 3 brits, but they tped out and came back. At this time, sageblue_ managed to get Sleepysloo to add him as a friend. After this, sageblue stole his spawner, and before he could take more, he was removed as a friend.

Ninth Attack

This was a relatively short one, the day after the insiding. Sleepysloo was mining when he was suddenly shot by MapleVK's bow, in which he dropped gold, and tools.

Defensive by Budbrooke

After getting tired of the constant killing, Sleepysloo was funded by France to claim some chunks, upon which he built a wall. Althought MapleVK has water glitched over this, Sleepysloo has not come out of claims, effectively removing most chances of killing him. This is expected to slowdown if not completely stop the raiding.

Ice Road Incident

After Sleepysloo was spotted south of Odense, he was attacked by Slickss, killing him. After, it was figured he was going to build an ice line. He later returned 3 hours after, and was promptly killed twice by Warriorrr after he was spotted building a home.

Skirmish of Langeland/Budbrooke

After Sleepysloo arrived on the island of Langeland near Odense, he started to build. However, Shengderui killed him about 5 times in the process. This battle moved to Budbrooke after, where MapleVK killed Sleepysloo around 5-6 times before leaving.

Fourth Skirmish of Budbrooke

This started after Sleepysloo dueled MapleVK. However, Shengderui and Slickss came and almost killed Sleepysloo, but he went into claims. Later this day MapleVK used boats to kill two of Sleepysloo's dogs, and threatened to kill more unless he was paid.

Thirteenth Incident

MapleVK had arrived at Budbrooke, and stood near a cleared out chunk. Sleepysloo got scared, and started yelling in chat, saying "who are you!", and "leave". MapleVK left, only to return with invis. This confused Sleepysloo, until he toggled pvp and saw it was MapleVK. Sleepysloo brought him down the cleared out chunk, and toggled pvp. Sleepysloo would die twice, and MapleVK would leave the scene.

Fourteenth Attack

On the first day of March, Sleepysloo was spotted out of claims with two god pickaxes. He was promptly killed by MapleVK, causing Sleepysloo an estimated 40-60 gold of damage.

Odense Incident

Sleepysloo, arrived at Odense to attempt and steal a horse. To his luck, a horse had a saddle on. He took invis, and sat on the horse. However due to a roof in the horse pen, he could not get out, and was promptly killed. He had his spawn set nearby, letting him quickly get in. He soon gave up, but when he went back to Budbrooke, he was killed by MapleVK as revenge for this act.

Fifteenth Attack

This started after Sleepysloo had been killed right outside claims by MapleVK, and did not request his items back, mostly due to him now knowing he won't get them. Sleepysloo's 3 horses, also turned out to have escaped the cage. MapleVK used saddles, and rode all 3 out of claims, where he promptly killed them. Sleepysloo got mad, and "declared war" on Maple. However, not much happened after, except Sleepy dying once more. Later on in the day, Tafffy killed Sleepysloo in diamond armor, once again making him lose many items.

Sixteenth Attack

The next day, it was seen Sleepysloo had bought 3 more horses. After failing to remove them, MapleVK killed Sleepysloo around 15 times, who repeatedly kept coming outside of claims. The next day, he was killed by Fruitloopins while delivering one of his horses to Klondike, losing 40 gold. Fruitloopins sold the horse for cheap, effectively scamming Sleepysloo out of gold as well.

Slowdown, and 17th Attack

The attacks were basically small to zero for about 2 weeks, however when it was noticed Sleepysloo had netherite gear, he was attacked while outside of claims. He died, and logged off immediately.

Despawning of Horses

MapleVK, realising he had to get rid of Sleepysloo's horses, got eggs, and spawned in chickens at the horse pen. Towny mechanics, such as the mob spawn cap, disallowed this, and instead of despawning the chickens, it despawned the 5 horses. However, mods spawned the horses in later as it was not legal to do this, but Maple did not know.

Further Raiding

Not many significant raids would occur afterwards, however Sleepysloo would be attacked outside of claims, resulting in him dying more and losing 4 more armor sets. Due to a plot having badly configured perms, a beacon was stolen from him, and he died a few more times while sandmining outside of El Obeid.

End

Soon after, the raids ended. Sleepysloo was surrounded by claims and it was nearly impossible to catch him off guard. Maple and Slick also lost interest and rarely try to kill Sleepy now. Overall this has ended as a stalemate however Denmark/'The Vikings' got what they set out to do and that was to steal items from Sleepysloo and slow down his progress, which results in a sort of Viking victory.

Aftermath(s)

French members started to dislike MapleVK for his continuos attacks, and a few started asking Britain to take action. However Britain took no action, meaning this has not affected much politically.
