History

Origins

The October War began when EndersGame of NATO (later CCCP) attacked the PI citizens of Denmark on 18 Oct. PI immediately responded, but not in force until later. PVP Logging accusations were lodged by both sides. For the next 2 days, the conflict was a war of words, with PI demanding an unconditional surrender and NATO refusing.

Spain Joins

By day 3 of the conflict, Spain joined the war to attack their traditional rival. NSaurio Gamer was on the front lines from the start, leading medium sized Spanish forces against NATO. PI involvement was minimal but was soon to become significant

Egyptian Collapse

Egypt, a staunch ally of NATO/CCCP, collasped for reasons unrelated to the conflict. The collapse left NATO as the sole force to fight the PI-Spain coalition.

Alola joins

In the Battle of PinguCity on 21 Oct, Alola officialy declared war on CCCP and attacked them, proving to be a great ally.

The Tide Turns

Although CCCP took several early victories, especially in the first battle of PinguCity and the third battle of Madrid, the joint forces of Spain, PI, and Alola began turning the war against CCCP from 21 Oct to 29 Oct. Of the three major battles fought in this timeframe, PI-Spain-Alola won two, at the Siege of PinguCity and during the Bombing of Belgium. However, Enders realized his limits and began looking for help.

New Mexico and Golden State

On 29 October and 30 October, the towns of NewMexico (formerly PI) and Golden State (Formerly Egypt, then Spain), joined NATO. NewMexico had successfully raided America while GoldenState was dissatisfied with Spain. These two towns opened new fronts to the war, putting Enders in a better position to negotiate peace.

First Cease-Fire

On 30 Oct, EndersGame sought peace with PI and Spain, which was accepted by both nations. PI and CCCP became allies, with Enders apologizing for the toxicity and attacks of his nation.

The Lull

From 30 Oct to 2 Nov, CCCP regained its strength while the other nations of the server worked on a treaty to limit CCCP's influence. In this 3 day time span, Canada became increasintly concerned about the actions of CCCP while PI was weakened by America's secession.

Resumption

On 2 Nov, CCCP attacked France and Spain, re-starting the war. FrankUnderwod2 and other CCCP members attacked Royan of France. The owner of Royan experienced multiple personally attacks made via message, mostly name calling. This led to the selling of Royan to Germany. Then the CCCP forces moved on towards Spain to kill NSaurioGamer. In the midst of all this an Alliance between FrankUnderwod2 and Alania was cancelled as a result of his rudeness in the battles.

On the same day, after the events, EndersGame (leader of CCCP at the time) apologized for the actions of his subordinates.This did not last however, as Enders joined his comrades in attacking Royan a second time.

Catalonia Joins

On 3 Nov, Catalonia, formerly of PI, joined CCCP, opening an Iberian front.

Assualt of Mecca

The new town of Mecca was being besiged by FrankUnderwod2, and the citizens of Mecca managed to capture EndersGame and killed him. Some have leveled the accusation that that was tp killing, however Mecca holds that killing him was needed to stop the unoffical seige of Mecca.

Siege of Svartalheim

On the 5th of November, GUI66 of Catalonia attacked the new German town of Svartalheim. While independent at the time, the town had made its desire to join Germany clear. GUI initiated the attack, but was repulsed by the actions of Paperpikmin. Although the Germans suffered more casualties, CCCP was repulsed and GUI was forced to pay compensation - German victory

Attacks on Alania

On November 6th of 2017, Perino of the CCCP attacked Alania out of the blue. With this he assualted FurryGnomeNuts and attempted to ambush him. The ambush was blocked by Furry's pvp skills and a strateigic retreat to Alania.

WOKIST crusade

On the 7th of November 2017, Runnerboy72000 declared that all followers of WOKISM should join in the fight against CCCP.

Yorktown/America Attacks

On 8 November, GUI66 skirmished the town of Yorktown, a recent addition to Canada. However, he was driven off after killing unarmed civilians became boring for him(read more at The Terror of Yorktown). Later that day, Endersgame and Periano decided to "tour" America, and attempted to push Devynaeri outside of town claims using a fishing pole, which would have allowed them to attack her. Devynaeri hid in the clocktower until they left.

Canadian Scouting

In response to Endersgame and Periano "touring" America, Canadian military member Brooklyn_Tony198 and citizen Rojo scouted the Area 51 (A new addition to CCCP) outpost in Indiana. Brooklyn_Tony198 stayed to stake out the place, but was shot at by arrows from either Periano or Endersgame. xKillerBuilderx came to his aid, but the assailants were gone. This is the only direct skirmish between the Canadian military and CCCP.

Ender's Ban

On 9 November, Endersgame was permanently banned for accumulating 5 warnings in 2 weeks. After him being banned, the war increasenly became one of threats.

Periano's Concession

Periano, in response to Ender's ban, declared himself as the leader of CCCP. Periano declared war on Spain, hoping to get revenge against NSaurio Gamer. This act made many people from various countries voice their dissent against Periano's actions. Periano grew to dislike the server accordingly and declared on 9 Nov his intention to never return. FrankUnderwood, GUI66, and the town of Area51, as of 9 Nov, remain in CCCP. Later, these players would go to form the nation of Cinder.

Catalonia leaves CCCP

On 10 November, CCCP took another two blows. The first was Periano declaring his intent to disband CCCP. The second was Catalonia (GUI66) leaving CCCP for the nation of Commonwealth. With these two blows, CCCP lost its morale and one of its most active members. However GUI66 still keeps attacking like he was in CCCP, even after he joined Commonwealth. As of 11 November, GUI is expressing remorse for his actions.

Conclusion

With Enders banned and GUI66 in another nation, Periano left CCCP to form the nation of Cinder on 11 Nov 2017. This new nation included most of the old members of CCCP but was centered on Periano's town of Petrozavodsk. It is yet to be seen where Periano will take this nation. If he will continue the warmongling that the CCCP did, or break free of his association with the CCCP remains to be seen.

GUI66 nation hopped for some time, and as of 11 Nov is back in Spain. FrankUnderwood is still in CCCP but may join Cinder. Area51 (AddeLarson) was one of the first to join Cinder.

Impact

As of 11 Nov, the October War has had very little impact on the major nations (PI, Spain, Canada, Jing) of the server. It was influential in America's decision to leave PI, but was not the only event considered. Spain came to realize its might in Europe, while PI was relegated to a subordiante role. Jing took on the policy of placing outposts across China to ensure its territorial claims were protected, while Canada began to realize it was not as immune to world affairs as once thought.

On the other hand, the warmongers of the nation were hugely impacted. Their unofficial leader, EndersGame, was gone from the server, and his nation in ruins. This lead to the formation of Cinder, which is yet to decide its course. Additionally, the toxic players of the server have been readily identified, for the most part, by their membership in CCCP or its child nations.

For the average player outside of the four major nations, little changed. The October War was mainly fought between the major nations of the server, and no major griefs or trolling occured. In contrast to The Dark Era, the war was very clean.
