Many of you may have heard of the recent event of rustbucket23's pearling on Zorweth, and all the slop surrounding it. I am here today to establish the facts of the case, no larp, no slop. Just facts. (Get in a storytime mindset)
rustbucket23 started out as a new citizen of Norlund on Zorweth. He did his own thing for a while, pretty low profile. But then, he attacked and killed Ripper twice, and proceeded to put a bounty on the King, Wolftale (bounty of 2 gold ingots btw). Afterwards, he was evicted and landbanned from Norlund after being killed in the lake in our main crater. He took a break, and upon his return, immediately violated said landban. I told him I would meet up with him to return his stuff, and the coords he provided were not on our claims, so I had every intention of returning them. However, he met me halfway, and in doing so, got pearled.
He is now landbanned by Norlund and Khanate, and claims to be landbanned by 3 total, but I have no idea which the third one is. As of today, he is living in his very own barrel, being kept nice and cozy.
It's been a pleasure providing the facts.

The haters, who fought to eradicate "BALLLIIIN!!" from CivMC have all been sent to the 3rd unannounced dimension, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. Now, all are free worldwide to Ball as they please, or "FreeBall" as it has been dubbed.

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.”

For too long Civ Nations have suffered from a lack of high quality emblems and coats of arms. If you have a city, province, nation, department, rebel group, political party, doesn't matter I'll make your design for completely free, just message me, tell me what you'd want and I'll get it done AND add it to your nation's wiki in under 24 hours guaranteed! Any style, any content you want!

First they sent the CIA after me, then Epstein. They aren't coming for me, they are coming for you. I'm just in their way.

Civ's first long-form history content (? i think) it's very long and not finished yet

This should be done by the end of the year, the script definitely by the end of the summer, but ive never edited a video so i'll need to learn how to do that, three months is probably enough to learn how to edit tho

-

Anyways fun fact,. when citadel was first being conceptualized 14 years ago one of the reinforcement materials that was being considered was wood

-

Edit to note that this is the editing quality I need to match now

As we've just completed our new rail station, Dion will be bustling with commerce soon! Pay us a visit in northern Harmony Crater if you'd like :)

“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.
