Azuziiiii, an Icarus business owner who was pearled and set free on Friday by Pavia-Griffin officials, was pearled again by a member of a mercenary group on Monday off the coast of Zirakdum, prompting Lyrean Commonwealth officials to go after the players behind the attack.

humansFLESH, a member of the mercenary group Okkinok Mercenary Group (OMG), pearled Azuziiiii. According to footage provided by humansFLESH that show Azuiiiii’s POV, humansFLESH pearled Azuziiiii at around 3908 / 61 / -2867.

humansFLESH told The Diamond Chronicler that he and his group went after Azuziiiii for purely business reasons, citing a public 4,600-diamond bounty on Azuziiiii’s head. He added that his group has received some of the 4,600 diamonds but is still waiting for the rest.

“we were bounty hunting… we all needed money… and [we’re] a mercenary group… so it seemed fitting,” humansFLESH said.

humansFLESH said that after his group had gotten wind of Azuziiiii’s whereabouts, it “was a split second decision” to go after them, adding that his group “just thought we should go for it.”

humansFLESH said it was “so easy” to pearl Azuziiiii, adding, “i dont think azuzi is good at pvp… he should carry a kit next time, or [at least] a sword.”

Zirakdum is a part of the Lyrean Commonwealth, and Pavia-Griffin is also a member. The Lyrean Commonwealth forbids wanton pearling within its territory.

Hxrl, duke of Northleigh, Pavia-Griffin, told The Diamond Chronicler Monday that officials are after humansFLESH and okkinok, OMG’s leader, because they pearled Azuziiiii “in [Lyrean Commonwealth] lands.”

“We lost our iron, copper,gold,redstone and basically every ore.”

A group of players conducted a set of raids against Aleria over the past few days, breaking into the country’s bunker, griefing infrastructure and stealing around 700 diamonds’ worth of resources, Aleria King AirDav told The Diamond Chronicler Friday.

AirDav said four former citizens of the defunct country Vestara took part in the raids: e34YT, t0mcat1, Wolie20 and EmpireCorsica, Vestara’s former king. Screenshots that AirDav gave The Diamond Chronicler appear to show obsidian griefing near an Aleria melon farm and the obby-bombing of an Aleria factory.

“We lost our iron, copper,gold,redstone and basically every ore,” AirDav said.

Other screenshots provided by AirDav appear to show snitchlogs being tripped by e34YT, t0mcat1, Wolie20 and EmpireCorsica in Aleria.

A source close to the alleged raiders was granted anonymity to speak candidly, and told The Diamond Chronicler they’re “sure” that t0mcat1, Wolie20 and EmpireCorsica raided Aleria. But the source said they weren’t certain whether e34YT took part in the raids.

On Discord Friday, The Diamond Chronicler asked t0mcat1, Wolie20 and EmpireCorsica whether they took part in the raids against Aleria, but no one has responded. The Diamond Chronicler tried reaching out to e34YT on Friday, but their Discord account did not permit direct-messages.

One screenshot AirDav provided shows Discord direct-messages between him and EmpireCorsica, in which the latter says, “some of my dudes planted extra [obsidian] on [your] shit… i told them not to in vc but, i can’t kill them.”

AirDav said EmpireCorsica condemned the actions of other raiders because he viewed them as going too far, destroying civilian infrastructure. Nonetheless, AirDav said EmpireCorsica participated in the raids against Aleria.

On the CivMC subreddit, AirDav said the raids happened “due to us being part of a meme religion called melonsim (we basically like melons).”

“vestara is now some random crusader kingdom or smth and they attacked us due to our religion,” AirDav told The Diamond Chronicler.

AirDav said he tried reaching out to the raiders to get reparations from them, but he said they had already spent what they had taken on “armour n shit.”

AirDav said his country plans to rebuild following the raids, adding that the Commonwealth “donated some materials to setup basic factories.”

He said he’s “Not sure” whether the alleged raiders will attack his country again in the future.

EmpireCorsica, the apparent leader of the group that raided Aleria, told Aleria King AirDav that some of his fellow raiders “planted extra [obisdian]” on his AirDav's builds. Although EmpireCorsica expressed regret at the obby-bombing described in these direct-messages, AirDav said EmpireCorsica still participated in the raids against Aleria. Image courtesy of AirDav.

Ro_Por_Go, the leader and sole member of the “Jundgara Liberation Front,” was pearled by a Temporal Empire official on Thursday after trying to start their own country within Temporal Empire territory.

On Thursday, Ro_Por_Go had posted to the CivMC subreddit saying that the JLF was “officially declaring Jundgari independence” for part of the Temporal Empire’s “Jungle” territory, which borders the Yoahtl mainland in the north and Q’Barra, Nara, in the south.

Later that day, Junerjun, the Temporal Empire’s third in command, presented herself as a prospective JLF member to Ro_Por_Go on Discord, according to a screenshot she gave The Diamond Chronicler. After Ro_Por_Go shared a location for where to meet in-game, Junerjun met and pearled them.

PhysicsGamer, emperor of the Temporal Empire, told The Diamond Chronicler that their country is discussing the details of Ro_Por_Go’s sentence.

“In hindsight I probably should’ve built up more resources and members before going guns blazing,” Ro_Por_Go told The Diamond Chronicler. “I’ll probably relocate Jundgara to another location, probably building an island.”

Ro_Por_Go added that the JLF “in [its] current form will cease [its] functions…. If [the Temporal Empire gives] me the minimum [sentence] I won’t bother anyone again, i’ll just go off into the ocean.”

Before getting pearled, Ro_Por_Go said the Temporal Empire has used the Jungle territory only “as space for their factories, extracting wealth from the land and sending it to a totalitarian monarch thousands of blocks away.”

In response to Ro_Por_Go’s statement, PhysicsGamer said, “we do not have any need to justify our long-standing national claims to an anonymous entity with no claim.”
