{{Good article}}The '''Parisian Civil War''' was a massivecivil eventwar that unfolded onin Betaonline[[Paris]], with spillover into [[Oak Hills]]. ItThe conflict was mainly a power-struggle between the two leaders of Paris, [[raddictedNorbert011]] and [[Norbert011Raddicted]]. [[OakThe Hills]]cause would support raddicted inof the conflictwar withare bothseveral munitionsdisputes and soldiers,minor asconflicts [[44cckw]]between and [[CalmCreeper360]] volunteered to fight alongside raddicted on the battlefield. This war is the single most bloodiest event in the server's history,Norbert and ledseveral toother largeplayers damagethat onhad buildingsbeen suchbrewing asover thea [[Oillonger Rig]]period. and [[Norbert011's House]].
 
Being fed up with Norbert's rule over Paris and his several controversies, Raddicted declared himself to be the sole ruler over Paris and vowed to depose Norbert. [[CalmCreeper360]] and [[44cckw]], both of which distrusted Norbert and had rivalries with him, supported Rad's cause and volunteered to fight alongside him on the battlefield.
The war is considered a coup-attempt, as raddicted unsuccessfully, with Oak Hills support, tried to oust Norbert from power and install himself as the sole ruler of Paris. This goal failed however, and the war ended in a Pyrrhic victory for Norbert.
 
The first shots of the war occurred in Western Metropolitan Paris, as Rad's Army preemptively attacked Norbert while inside of his house. This allowed Rad's Army to make several quick, significant gains against Norbert, though not for long. Rad's Army lost a permanent foothold on mainland Paris and Oak Hills after losing a major battle against Norbert, and had to reorganize their efforts at the [[Oil Rig]]. Although Rad's Army managed to discover a dupe stash located in the [[Nether]], and used this to their full advantage, it was not enough to beat Norbert, who had begun using cheats in order to win the war. Both sides eventually laid down arms to stop the needless destruction and death, with an agreement being made between Norbert and Rad to uphold the current dual leader system.
 
The war is one of the single most bloodiest event in the server's history, and led to large damage on several buildings such as the Oil Rig and [[Norbert011's House]]. The conflict soured relations between players, and some relationships between players would never fully recover. Due to the large destruction of metropolitan Paris, as well as the political system of Paris being unchanged, the war has been considered needless, and as a phyrric victory for Norbert, in retrospect.
 
==Prelude==
===Tensions Arise===
[[File:NorbertPatrol1.png|200px|thumb|right|Norbert patrolling the outside of his house during the tension.]]
The reasons for the Parisian Civil War erupting can be traced back to a single event on the server: Norbert killing CalmCreeper and raddicted. The exact details surrounding the deaths are disputed by both parties, but the facts are that Norbert killed CalmCreeper with his pickaxe. raddicted would teleport to Norbert and attack him with a pickaxe, while Norbert would kill CalmCreeper yet again. With Norbert having Calm's items, raddicted threatened Norbert with a stack of glowstone that he had borrowed. If Norbert didn't return Calm's items; he would never give Norbert the glowstone back. 44cckw and raddicted also suggested that CalmCreeper and Norbert could duel at the [[Fencepost]], Calm turned down the suggestion. Further violence followed, and CalmCreeper threatened Norbert:▼

Further violencetensions followed, and CalmCreeper threatened Norbert:
 
{{User|CalmCreeper360}} : i swear to god if you dont return my stuff you will regret it
{{User|Norbert011}} : bring it on bitch
 
Fighting resumed between Norbert, Calm and Rad. To stop Norbert from killing raddictedthem and CalmCreeperstealing their items, 44cckw would controversially use /kill to murder Norbert,. withRaddicted raddicted proceedingproceeded to steal all of Norbert's dropped items as retaliation. Due to pretty much all players loosing their items, the server reloaded from backup.
 
With the server doing a rollback to restore player's items, 44cckw had hopefully ended the ongoing conflict on the server. However, raddicted would kill Norbert when he entered [[raddicted's House|his house]]. Norbert would complain about this, citing that raddictedRaddicted was unnecessarily inciting more conflict on the server. raddictedRaddicted would, on the other hand, say that it was perfectly acceptable, as Norbert was trespassing on private property, and that he simply did exactly what Norbert had done on a previous occasion. Norbert did not take this lightly, and broke in and killed raddictedRaddicted inside of his home and stole his items in the process. WithIn thisdoing so, Norbert had again created two mortal enemies on the server who wanted him brought to justice. Norbert would go offline for the time being. While 44cckw was thinking about what to do, Calm took matters into his own hands.

===Dog Massacre===

This event in particular is one of the main contributing factors of the Parisian Civil War breaking out. raddicted and 44cckw knew that conflict would arise from Calm's massacre, and immediately began preparing and stockpiling weapons and food.

==War==
===Opening Shotsshots===
[[File:ParisWar2.png|255px200px|thumb|left|Norbert being killed by 44cckw after attacking Calm.]]
As Rad's Army was gathering outside of the [[Spider Cave]], [[Norbert011|Norbert]] logged on. The army at this point was well-equipped and ready to fight, and began planning what to do next. While this was happening, Norbert surprise-attacked the army from the North. Norbert would successfully kill [[CalmCreeper360|Calm]] - having iron instead of diamond armor - but [[44cckw]] would hit and kill Norbert in return. With Norbert respawning at his house, Rad's Army quickly moved to assault [[Norbert011's House|Norbert's house]] from the West. The attack was successful, as Norbert was caught off-guard and killed outside his home.
▲With Norbert being offline for the time being, raddicted, 44cckw and CalmCreeper was gearing up for a war with Norbert. Being fed up with Norbert's shenanigans and rule over Paris, raddicted wanted to depose Norbert as ruler of Paris and gain full control himself. 44cckw and Calm threw in their support, and would begin to provide materials and weapons. However, diamond supplies from the [[Dupe Wars]] was beginning to dwindle, but it was enough left for raddicted and 44cckw to craft full diamond armor. Further materiel would be acquired from the [[Spider Cave]] and the Skeleton farm inside the [[Paris Hole]]. 44cckw's oil rig would be set up as a base of operations, due to it's location and being easy to defend against attackers. All warps would be rendered useless by covering them in obsidian.
 
Right whenDuring the raddicted-clique was grouping outside of the Spider Cavebattle, Norbert logged on. With rad's army being well-equipped and ready to fight, they began planning what to do next. However, Norbert surprise-attacked the group from the north. He would successfully kill Calm, but 44cckw would hit and kill Norbert in return. With Norbert respawning at his house, the group decided to quickly assault Norbert's house from the west. This attack-move would later be known as the 'quick dash east'. It was mildly successful, as Norbert managed to intercept the attackers on the way. Itit was discovered by radRad's Army during this attack that Norbert somehow had harnessedbegun [[EvilPoopMan]]'susing abilitiescheats, asmore he was able to quickly kill the group, similar tospecifically killaura. This made it significantly more difficult to attack Norbert, and radRad's Army went over to using bows asranged weapons. This did little damage, and some players didn't have enough arrows or even a bow. With theRaddicted's raddicted loyalistsArmy crumbling, they fell back to the oilOil rigRig and began planning their next move.
 
===Discovery of the Nether Dupedupe Stashstash===
[[File:NetherRevertDupe1.png|180px|thumb|right|The dupe stash discovered by raddicted.]]
With radRad's Army in disarray after being destroyed by Norbert's EvilPoopMan powerscheats, raddictedRaddicted came up with the idea of using lava-buckets as a weapon. To gather the lava, raddictedRaddicted and 44cckw ventured into the [[Nether]]. However, the players found a lot more than just lava. raddictedRaddicted stumbled across a massive dupe stash. This was a massive morale-boost to the army, as the supply of dupe war-era diamonds that they had used previously was very small. radRad's Army would spend a significant time manually mining these duped diamond blocks, and gathergathered them at the oilOil rigRig. In total, they gathered approximately 3 stacks of diamond blocks, which was more than enough to craft serious weapons and armor for the entire army.

While this went down in the underworld, Norbert was preparing a counter-attack in the Overworld.
 
===Assault and Siegesiege on the Oil Rig===
[[File:OilRigAssault1.png|200px|thumb|right|Norbert's first advance on the oil rig is halted by lava.]]
With radRad's Army losinglost their groundfoothold on mainland Paris[[Oak Hills]] and OakParis Hills,after theyseveral raids on [[CalmCreeper360's House|Calm's House]] by Norbert. The army fully regrouped at the oilOil rigRig. While they were busy crafting and managing more gear they would use, Norbert would use the massive tunnel-system underneath Paris to advance on the oilOil rigRig. As these tunnels was connected directly to the oilOil rigRig, raddictedRaddicted and CalmCreeper would pour lava down the stairs leading to the underground tunnels. This successfully halted Norbert's first attack, as he was unable to stop the massive flow of lava coming from above. With their current advantage, raddictedRaddicted planned to build a tower up to build limit and pour lava down onto Norbert's house. This wouldn't destroy his house due to fire-spread being disabled, but it would trap Norbert inside his house. While rad's Army was gathering the resources for this, norbert had a trick up his sleeve; using his mystical powers, he would fly to the oil rig. This was a shocker and completely took rad's Army by surprise. The previously thought impossible to penetrate oil rig was suddenly under attack by a flying player. With his killarura, Norbert would massacre rad's Army stationed on the oil rig. It was impossible to kill him with lava buckets, and the supply of arrows was getting smaller. It didn't help either that Norbert would destroy the dead player's loot with fire, meaning that rad's Army would inevitably run out of resources. However, raddicted had one final plan, and suggested it to 44cckw.

===Worldedit and end of the Conflict===▼
 
▲===Worldedit and end of the Conflictconflict===
[[File:NorbertHouseWorldEdit1.png|200px|thumb|left|Norbert's house vanished from existence during the final stage of the war.]]
With it being clear that there was no way for theRad's raddicted loyalistsArmy to win the war due to Norbert's powerscheats, they only had one option left to use: Worldedit. As 44cckw was a server operator, he had access to thethis powerful plugin named Worldedit. This could let 44cckw do unimaginable things, and it could rival the powers of Norbert. Using the plugin, 44cckw would delete Norbert's house from existence. This move brought the war to a quick end, and both parties of the conflict agreed to cease fighting. Ato backupstop of the world was loaded, due tofurther damages caused by the war. With Norbert keeping his position in Paris, and raddicted failing to depose him, the war ended in a clear victory for Norbert.
 
All damages made during the war was reverted, and Norbert kept his ruling position in Paris, with Rad failing to depose him.
 
==Aftermath==
The conflict is an important piece of [[Paris]] history. It solidified [[Norbert011|Norbert's]] rule of Paris together with raddicted[[Raddicted]]. Rad was allowed to keep his ruling position together with Norbert, even with his attempted coup, though the relationship between the two took a hit. Relations between Paris and [[Oak Hills]] was also soured, due to high-up Oak Hills supportingcitizens the[[44cckw]] and [[CalmCreeper360]] supporting raddictedRaddicted's insurrection and coup-attempt. The war iswas alsoat the time, the single-most deadliest conflict in the server's history. Due to the massive damages caused on the server; the loss of items, the massacre of Norbert's dogs and Norbert's house vanishing from existence, the server reloaded from backup.
 
While Norbert and raddictedRaddicted continued to be friends, the same could not be said for Nobert and CalmCreeper. Even though the server loaded a backup, meaning that Calm kept his items, he was still upset about the unjustified murder of him. He has vowed to take revenge on Norbert in some way, even though it could lead to another conflict in the future, which it eventually did. During [[EvilPoopMan's Reign]] over the server some weeks later, fighting between the two would continue to happen., meaning that the Reign and the [[June of Chaos]] is a direct consequence of this war.
