Somerset: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

Since the 4th of April, 2019, Somerset has been embroiled in a long and grueling war with Niger. Relations prior to the war were shaky at best due to Niger's notorious hit-and-run style of combat, but the tipping point was the First Battle of Toshka.

'''First Battle of Toshka:''' A group of four Somerset soldiers (LeftArm0fExodia, Chessnut242527, ~~chuck2089~~, and Lemonlicious) were on a routine patrol to the town of Toshka, a colony founded by users Canuck and Kim_Jong_Nuke, and funded by Somerset under the promise that a small tax of 1G per day would be payed until the debt was settled. Kim_Jong_Nuke, the only resident online at the time, was asked peacefully by the group to pay his dues, at which point he openly refused. After a good ten minutes of back-and-forth debating, Kim made a rash decision and attempted to attack the group. He was hit twice before retreating into claims, after which users [[skater2323]] and [[watergod]] appeared at the scene to fight. The battle went on for about 5 minutes before the unprepared Somerset users were forced to flee, with two casualties. Toshka was immediately declared a rogue town and the war with Niger was officially declared mere minutes later. Toshka was relocated further west, presumably to join Niger, under the name of New Toshka.

'''Second Battle of Toshka:''' A few days later (the exact date was never recorded), another attack was planned by user Lemonlicious. The new attack group consisted of four Somerset and four Memphis players, who proceded to launch a raid on horseback against the town of New Toshka. User Canuck, the only player in NT online at the time of the attack, hid inside a building for the majority of the raid, tossing diamonds through a window to attempt to coax the raiders. Watergod came online and attacked the raiders after about 30 minutes of doorcamping. Three horses were killed and two players died. The rest retreated to Memphis where the next attack was planned.
