Great American War: Difference between revisions

Line 122:

The nuking drew widespread reactions from across the international community. Nunavik, who effectively succeeded Laurentia around July 17, condemned Texas and demanded that they return the download of the Cascadian discord to Cascadia. Pilbara, whose involvement was limited to the placement of Weezer2, effectively withdrew their active involvement from the conflict due to Vermont's ceasefire and the nuking. In the aftermath of the 7/23 Nuking, the war would enter into a period of relative inactivity. Many in Texas believed that the war was effectively over, and that they had won it. Samisol's activity would begin to dwindle after the nuking, until he eventually quit and never returned in early August. The wartime presidencies of Rocky and Lukedcool (the latter of whom presided over the nuking) would fade into the activity and economic-focused presidency of JoeJoe77. For Cascadia, the 7/23 Nuking was a major milestone in both the war and the nation's history. It is considered by many to have been the most significant attack against Cascadia in the nation's history. It wouldn't be until several weeks later that Cascadia began to operate normally again, and counteroffensives returned as an option. Despite the loss of nearly 2 years of national history in the nuking, the event would eventually become a symbol of Cascadian resilience, often compared to the [[Battle of Oceanside]]. The 7/23 Nuking is also considered to have been the turning point of the war. As Raptor would say of the attack, quoting Winston Churchil, "The darkest hour is just before dawn."

In the early morning of July 23, Samisol alerted a GC of high-ranking Texans and allied leaders about acquiring admin-level access to the Cascadian discord server due to an error by Lovelyfurball, who had accidentally given him admin perms instead of a 'cesspool' role. A plan of action was quickly formulated in-call: first, channels deemed 'noteworthy' would be downloaded via Samisol's modified discord client and packaged into a .rar file for later review. Afterwards, the group disagreed on who would actually do the nuking- Samisol didn't want to do anything out of fear of getting his discord account terminated, so instead a another member of the group used their account named "jp.f" to do the brunt of the deletion and banning. The total 'active time' in the nuke was around 30min, and Cascadian response was delayed due to it being extremely early in the morning. Among the final changes was the name and icon of the server changed to "Total Texan Victory" (<-- 8set's note; I forget what it was actually changed to, if you can find this out and make it accurate it would be appreciated).

Publicly, Cascadia attempted to portray a sense of resilience and being unshaken, but the true reaction was much different. Chats leaked from the OFN showed a much more frantic and scattered reaction from many high-ranking members. Texas used the mistake of Lovelyfurball to frame the attack as an intentional betrayal, which gained mixed reactions. Texas made a victory announcement, whereas Cascadia later made some sort of recovery announcement.
