March On The Dead
The Death Toll of the so-called "March On The Dead"
In retaliation for breaking the truce, every survivor in Darvall was Pked
Humans continued to suicide into the Dead Man Zone for the rest of March.
Any repairs or cades were short lived, perhaps a day at most.
The only thing accomplished was making the northwest less safe for humans.
Back Story
For some time The Dead and SoC had an informal truce negotiated in game. Caiger Mall was deemed mutually beneficial, and we thought it best not to be in a PK war with SoC, nor did we have interest in invading Darvall. Focus was on the North and South at the time. Also SoC avoided PKing so they had nothing but benefit from the agreement.
However, even though we were informed internally about the agreement, it seems SoC was not and a shooting war erupted around October 2019. I approached SoC to reconfirm the truce and I was met with "what truce?" and confusion. We then spent several weeks ironing out an actual agreement as detailed here:
Redacted some back and forth nonsense about semantics
The Reality
Both The Dead and SoC were fully aware of the fact that SoC were amassing an army to attack the DMZ and had no intention to honor the truce.
While the peace was kept through the end of the year, in January SoC started complaining about the agreement being breached.
It started as a misunderstanding, but eventually turned into a false flag operation in order to cover their ass.
Regardless, The Dead upheld their end of the agreement and waited for SoC to stab us in the back.
Redacted Millhouser being Millhouser and getting hot and bothered
More redacted semantical back and forth
In addition to the misunderstanding, some people joined SoC who had formally been DMZ Insurgents, so we agreed to update our tagging for the person so they would be seen Do Not Kill
False Flag Operation Leading Up To The Attack
Another month of peace goes by, and then more false flag attacks
In addition to the false flag operation, SoC were harboring Insurgents.
And yet we still stuck to the agreement
False Start
While SoC continued to act like the truce was on, our scouts could see the army amassing on our borders.
A couple days ahead of the strike an SoC member jumped the gun.
So in addition to knowing back in October they were going to backstab us, it was obvious what was coming.
War
Everyone Died, The End
The rest is history. As expected, an endless meat grinder
