History

Context

For months, Church of Francis Emperor Lord1 would beg server owner Yukarion to crown him as King of SimPvP, considering Lord was the sole dictator of the largest clan. Eventually Yukarion gave in to his request and gave Lord a golden helmet named 'The King's Crown' at Spawn.

Since that point, Lord1 would make it his priority to let everyone know he was the King of SimPvP, going as far as to change his title from 'Emperor of COF' to 'Holy King of COF and SimPvP'. However after 18 months of reigning as SimPvP's King, Lord decided it was time to move on and hand down the crown. But he decided that picking a successor was boring and thought they should earn it through combat, leading him to plan the SimPvP Civil War.

Five teams would enter the war,

The Imperial Loyalists - Those who believed a Francillian should be the next king and fought to install the COF Supreme General Swiggles.

Tem's Will - Those who wanted TSCOT to hold the crown and fought to install OxTxXTXxTxO.

Spooky-ABC Team - A team who wanted KingSpookyIII unjailed and BeeRules jailed whilst also wanting to install Sav5 as the next King.

Order of Wilbur - The Wilburians were pressured by Lord1 to enter, with most of them not participating other than two brave GFC warriors who wanted to install MoWobbler.

Pony Pimps - Didn't attend any battles, wanted to install VetoTheNeato.

Battle of Yittrium

4th November, 2023. Video

The first battle took place at the notorious city of Yittrium. All four teams would arrive and start preparing. Before the battle was announced to begin, one soldier from ABC team would begin attacking a Wilburian (this would later result in his disqualification). Seeing this, Lord1 announced the battle to begin. Almost immediately, two ABC fighters would land in the loyalist camp and ambushed them, causing the death of two Loyalists. Fighting would take place in and around the old Yittrium Guard castle where the Loyalists had fortified, but the combat would move towards the coast of the main city.

For a while, Loyalists, Wilburians, TSCOT and ABC team would battle for the Yittrium coastal path. Two more Loyalists would be killed here, leaving them with 1 ground troop and 2 elytra fighters left. The Imperial Loyalists would announce their retreat from the battle, but started supporting the Wilburian ground troops fighting the ABC team. TSCOT would fight mainly in the air and held control of the ocean next to the city, whilst the Wilburians and ABC team fought through the streets of downtown Yittrium.

The fighting would move back towards the coast, where TSCOT, ABC and The Order of Wilbur participated in water PvP, TSCOT would lose a troop to ABC team here. ABC team would take control of the Loyalist fort and defended it from the Wilburians and TSCOT. The Loyalists would lose their last active fighter, the other teams then fought in the skies until the Wilburians and TSCOT withdrawal, leaving ABC team the victors of The Battle of Yittrium.

Battle of Hamadale

12th November, 2023. Video

The second battle of the Civil War would take place at the former Saisei town of Hamadale, which had been a target of The Wasp War earlier in the year. As the armies arrived at the already war-torn town, sav5 would mysteriously die after he arrived, blaming it on the Wilburians. The battle would start and for a while the Loyalists held the battleground until one ABC fighter would arrive and successfully killed a Loyalist. The Wilburians would join the battle whilst the Loyalists fought the ABC fighter.

Fighting would rage between the Loyalists and Wilburians, with one Wilburian accidently killing himself in combat. The Loyalists once again held the battleground for about 10 minutes until TSCOT and the Wilburians returned and battled the loyalists down by the Hamadale river. Also noteworthy is the first use of cavalry in combat since max678's massacre (2018).

The combat would move inland where full force of the ABC team would join the battle against the already worn down Wilburians and Loyalists. A ABC fighter would be killed by a Loyalist as it turn to night. The armies would fight next to the ruins of the Hamadale Castle and pond, where a TSCOT knight would successfully kill a Loyalist.

The fatigued combatants then fought over the river again whilst the elytra fighters challenged each other for air superiority. Another Loyalist would lose their life to a ABC fighter, 5 minutes later a Wilburian would also be blown up by a Loyalist who was also then blown up by two ABC fighters. The remnants of the TSCOT, Wilburian and Loyalist armies would retreat, with ABC once again holding the battleground. However due to the fact ABC brought some of their disqualified fighters, the battle was deemed "inconclusive" and the rest of the ABC team would subsequently also be disqualified.

Battle of Three Words

18th November, 2023. [1]

The third battle of the Civil War would take place at the former capital city of the Church of Francis, Three Words, a city which had been raided during The Imperial War, annexed during The Confederacy-Francis War and later griefed and mostly mined away during The GS-YMP Conflict. The Order of Wilbur, TSCOT and Imperial Loyalist armies would gather in the ruins of the city and make their preparations for battle. One ABC fighter managed to sneak himself to the battleground and made frequent ambush attempts before the battle started. One of these were successful and killed a Loyalist, initiating the battle.

Another Loyalist would be blown up by a TSCOT knight, a Wilburian would be blown up by a Loyalist and minutes later another Loyalist would die to a TSCOT knight. As it turned day, a Loyalist blew up a TSCOT knight. A Wilburian then managed to kill the last TSCOT knight. The combat then moved through the ruins of the Talos statue, where the lone ABC fighter joined for a bit. The Loyalists would execute their TSCOT prisoner that they had purchased from TSCOT in exchange for war supplies (not a joke).

A Wilburian then re-joined the battle, refused the Loyalist offer of mercy and after a brutal last stand died to the two remaining Loyalists. This is where the hidden disqualified ABC fighter came and battled the two Loyalists, and was then killed after lagging. Another Wilburian re-joined the battle and 1v1'd both Loyalists, killing one and then killed by the other, Resulting in a Loyalist victory over the Battle of Three Words.

Battle of Craftablia

25th November, 2023. Video

The fourth and supposedly final battle of the Civil War would take place at Craftablia, an artificial biome built entirely of crafting tables organised and pioneered by ostrich1414 4 years before. This battle would allow any and all participants, including the previously disqualified ABC army. Only one Wilburian and one TSCOT knight could attend this battle, so they decided to team up with the Imperial Loyalists to fight the hated ABC team. Both armies arrived and the ABC team would discover the mass bomb planted underneath their camp by the Loyalists.

As the armies prepared, a Loyalist would take his own life, scholars believe this was due to PTSD from the previous 3 battles. The battle would begin after the Loyalists had their speech, and immediately both armies would experience the difficulties of CPvP on top of crafting tables. However a Loyalist would baptise the battle by blowing up a ABC soldier, seconds later a Loyalist would then be blown up by a ABC soldier.

The confusing and brutal combat raged on as the fight for air superiority unfolded. The Wilburian volunteer would blow up at the hands of a ABC solider. Shortly after the TSCOT volunteer would ambush and kill a ABC troop. The Loyalists would start to see they were outmatched as the battle moved towards the Craftablian coast. Another Loyalist would be blown up whilst trying to flee and regear. Most Loyalists had either died or retreated by this point, with one being chased down by 4 ABC troops as he was trying to flee and regear.

Two dead Loyalists would regear and return to the battlefield to relieve the one remaining Loyalist. Lord1 would order a retreat to the Loyalists, but decided to return to the battlefield alone to make his last stand as King of SimPvP. The TSCOT volunteer, OxTxXTXxTxO, who only months earlier had been sworn enemies with Lord1, decided to join him in his last stand against the ABC army. Both would die a glorious death on the wooden fields of Craftablia, which would officially mark the end of King Lord1's 18 month reign and 4 years of dictatorship over COF and SimPvP.

The Spooky-ABC team had won the SimPvP Civil War and Lord1 would announce sav5 as the new King of SimPvP.

Battle of the Coronation

26th November, 2023. Video

The Coronation was to take place in the PvP world the day after The Battle of Craftablia. Regular SimPvP players and Soldiers came to watch as their commander / enemy was to be crowned as King of SimPvP by Lord1.

The ceremony went smoothly, sav5 received the mythical crown and put it in his ender chest. However a lone ABC soldier who fought for sav during the war pounced on the new king and assassinated him in an unsuccessful effort to take the crown. Seeing this, the soldiers in the audience started massacring each other and anyone in their way, resulting in 6 civilians dead and 1 ABC soldier dead. The treacherous ABC assassin then battled 3 former Loyalists and was killed.

The former Loyalists, Wilburians and TSCOT members who had now united against the new King of SimPvP and his renegade ABC army, held the coronation plaza which had been spawned in by the admins for the coronation. Later, two ABC soldiers would return to the PvP World and started battling against one Loyalist and one TSCOT Knight.

One ABC Soldier and one TSCOT Knight would be killed, leaving one Loyalist and one ABC Soldier to 1v1. Eventually another TSCOT Knight would join and turn the tides, resulting in the last ABC Soldier being blown up.
