Southern Union-Germania War: Difference between revisions

The war was declared at 21:07 CET, and both sides started mobilizing players. By the end of the grace period, the man count was most likely tied, with approximately 25 to 30 players on the side of Germans against 28 players on the side of SU, who was joined by soldiers from [[Turul Empire|Turul]]. Skulli's Germany chose to hold a chokepoint fort in a microclaim surrounded by Slovakian claims while MattCobra chose a thrust from Budapest to German Austria; the former of whose tactics, however, were proven to be superior, as the fort managed to block players from the SU from getting into German inland in large numbers. Although some successful incursions, mostly done by Alternis and friendly fire, were the cause of 8 Germanic casualties. Now held in a chokepoint near Turul-German border, MattCobra decided to try to rat out the Germans out of their tower by sniping them with AK-47s. This tactic proved to be somewhat successful, but only to a limited capacity as a major flaw in the war plugin caused the Germans to be unhittable from Slovak territory. During the SU's offensive on the tower, the Germans would also inflict a few casualties onto them. After some time, Czipsu used an ender pearl to get into close proximity of the Southerners and started to damage some SU players, managing to kill 3 of them, including MattCobra. When he was nearly dead, he used rags; one of the first of controversial things done by the German side. (Note: Rags were not banned, but bandages, their superior version, was causing this controversy. Alternis also used rags.) After MattCobra's death, sleep, now the highest ranked soldier, decided to retreat to Budapest to resupply and gather the scattered forces. By this point the war mostly became stagnant, as not many more died. This is because the Southerners and Turulians were now aware of a bug that made them unable to damage any Germans while shooting through Slovak territory. Skulli and Matt then negotiated to continue the war a week later, but Chomkii and Mick, unknowing of this, granted victory to the Southern Union. This was very controversial^{[''according to whom?''the reaction in the Discord server that lead to the overturn]} because the Germanians had not broken the rules^{[https://youtu.be/rYCETly3phY?t=4557 [''dubious1''<nowiki>]</nowiki>]}, but had gotten an unfair advantage. Ultimately, since the Germanians had officially not broken the rules and because of much uproar, it would lead to the overturn of the decision of Southern Union's victory. It is disputed whether it was the right decision to grant the Southern Union victory, some believed it was unjustified, some believed it was admin bias, others believed it was the right decision.
