This claim is based off an initial claim under DIBS, and further exploration of the map. It was then modified after 2 land sharing agreements in the 'Harmony crater' (above) and the 'Sunken Bivouac' crater (below), respectively passed with Verda and Nova Ants.

It is finally time for Knucklebones League Season 2!

After months of prep for the league, we now have sign-ups open for the first 9 tournaments in the league, each at one of the 9 arenas! Our first tournament will be held at Jester's Park in Pavia City, Pavia on July 19th @ 12PM EDT. The cost is 10d to enter, but only 5 if you are a Primary Citizen of Pavia itself. (The locals discount works for all tournaments in the league).

The rulesets for the standard tournaments are on the sign-ups themselves, so I'll touch on how league points are recorded.

As you will find, every match in a tournament consists of a Best-of-3 or Best-of-5 games in a set. Anytime you win a game, you earn a point. You earn a bonus point if you win a set. Win the whole tournament, and you will earn 5 points. The only way to lose points are those who get disqualified, so please, don't get disqualified.

Tournaments will be held every Sunday at 12PM EDT until we have played in all 9 arenas 3 different times (due to IRL commitments, there will be a two week break at the beginning of January).

The Top players at the end of the season will be invited to the KBL Season 2 Finals, which will be held at The Agora in Mount Augusta on March 7th, 2027 @ 12PM EDT for a chance to win 250d (may increase due to sponsorships. 150d is sponsored by Jay's Concrete)!

As I said last week, the Icenian Reflecting Pool was heavily damaged by radical Soren alts. Few accepted this as the truth! They said "CHRIS! How do you know they're ALTS". I just do, OK?

However, I am cheesed to announce that the Icenian Reflecting Pool, which suffered great damage due to the ALTS and Radical Soren SCUM that hate our beautiful Country, has been, for the past week, in full operation! It looks beautiful! After June 30, we will release the radicals who turned themselves in, fix the damage done to the very expensive waterproof matting of the Icenian reflecting pool, with the use of sharp swords and meteoric axes, including the 350-block gash along its right side, and have it looking as good as it was two weeks ago, when it was absolutely PERFECT!

This will all happen very quickly. The DGP is watching very carefully for the almost 70 other Monuments, Statues, and towers that we renovated throughout Icenia City. If anyone attacks any of them, they get as much as 10 years in Quagmire! In any event, go check it out — The Reflecting Pool is magnificent! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President CHRISTOPHER J. CHRISPIE.

Sentencing of Soren

With all that said, here are the sentences.

Fighters who surrendered to the DGP

If a Soren fighter turned themselves in to the DGP, they will be released one week after the cessation of hostilities (tomorrow).

The coalition recognizes the following players as having surrendered:

• FemBoyFanGirl
• Unreadi

These players are fully pardoned following their timeout and are not required to pay any reparations. We sincerely hope they enjoy this community they've stumbled across in rather odd circumstances.

Players who negotiated reduced sentences

The following players negotiated lighter sentences and are not required to contribute to the national Soren reparations:

• Ni3a – 1 week (released tomorrow)
• Clearhercules – 1 week (released tomorrow)
• Trackgod – 17 days pearled in the DGP vault

We also sincerely hope they enjoy their time on this server moving forward.

Players with individual reparations

The following players received individual reparations as part of their sentence and do not have to contribute to the national Soren reparations:

• Kingdd2311 – 3 diamond blocks paid to Limtingus for hiding as a "spectator" before attacking him
• Vai_ – 1 week + 16 diamond blocks (paid as far as I am aware, released tomorrow)

Fighters pearled during combat

The following Soren fighters were pearled during hostilities:

• KMSHR – 3 months
• Dqrkzzzz – 2 months
• NemisisCy – 3 months
• Nalimtuh – 8 months
• TheBioDino – 8 months

Players not yet pearled

The coalition is still pursuing claims against the following players. We strongly urge them to turn themselves in. If they do not, the sentences sought will be significantly harsher.

• ZZAdamthegoatzz
• Dobrava
• Hegghogaming (once unbanned in a year lol)
• ILoveYouHateYou
• Nobodypanicc

Additionally, the coalition is asking Not90 to turn themselves in for actions taken against our ally, Temporal Empire, before the war. If Not90 wants to discuss with the coalition beforehand, especially with Temporal Empire, we think that might be a solid idea, and we'd like to encourage it. We do not intend to treat his pearl in the same way we do the others on this list who have not turned themselves in.

National Soren reparations

For the Soren fighters pearled during combat (KMSHR, etc) (including those currently pearled during combat and those who have not yet turned themselves in), 10,000 diamonds in collective reparations must be paid to the DGP and its associates for damages incurred during the war. We know that DGP armor was sold off to continue fighting a conflict with no win conditions for Soren.

It is the responsibility of the remaining Soren members to determine how this payment is divided among themselves. We're happy to discuss with these pearled players about payment plans, their sentences, etc. The last thing we want to do is own a bunch of permapearls.

Important: Any individual reparations listed above do not count toward this 10,000-diamond total.

Have a lovely evening. Enjoy the new planet.

Hey folks! I'm a co-editor of the Schizo Post, here is our first Special Edition, reporting on the state of things in the CCZ. Stay safe out there!

A large explosion occurred a few minutes ago in downtown Apoland City, as the downtown business district went into lockdown. At this time, there are several government officials currently missing, that we have been unable to establish contact with for updates.

It appears the explosion destroyed a significant portion of the Apolish capital building, Columbia House. Unverified reporting suggests that several committee members were within the capital building at the time.

Updates will be provided as they come in.

Good evening CivMC,

Overview

Over the past couple weeks, the nations of Apollos, Fempire, and Micronook have entertained discussions geared towards the normalization and expansion of our mutual relationships. The result of these discussions was our sharing the opinion that a formal treaty would be in our collective best interest, and help to better our multilateral ties looking towards the future.

The Stonewall Pact

As such, I am happy to announce the signing of the Stonewall Pact [SP] between our three nations! The treaty document was ratified yesterday, June 28th, 2026, which marks the 57th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. The name was chosen to honor that important history.

Our Scope & Mission

The nations of the SP are united in a few simple goals:

• Maintaining and advocating for a safe, welcoming, and dignified space for civ's queer community, as we are some of the server's most prominent majority-queer groups.
• Furthering the mutual relationships between our own communities in the spirit of greater friendship and cooperation going forward.
• Creating a safer and more stable future by combating the threat of raiders and griefers who aim to cause us harm.

Opening of the Flag

Beyond the matter of the pact itself, I am also happy to announce that Apollos has completed a 384x639 block trans pride flag in our southern ocean! This project was completed with much help from both Micronook and Fempire, as well as players from Westhelm, Yoahtl, and elsewhere who offered us a hand. Our sincere thanks to everyone who helped make it happen :) Particular shoutout to tubbzie, TheCrazyGrape, arthirob, and donnelpyke2 for really leading the charge on this.

The flag is a permanent installation, and as such anyone is welcome to come get their own (3x5) mapart of it if you'd like. Otherwise, we do plan to make it available at all Fart Mart**™** locations.

End

Azora is pleased to announce the founding of Azuna!
We are also announcing our friendship with the Commonwealth. 💚
