Editing The 2021-2022 War (the ded war) (the muffin war)

=== The Lead-up: ===
The entire thing began with a story, [[Luke Hickox]] told a story in a chat (I believe it was called the Campfire chat, for telling fireside stories). The story was called [[EMOARMY]]. And eventually a separate chat was created for the story (or the name of the chat was changed), and at least one more section of the story was written (unconfirmed third). Eventually however we (some of the participants in the chat) realized that it looked like a contraction, EMO-ARMY, and we began taking positions in an army. As we (the inexperienced kids with no knowledge of NSA wars) became more educated and learned that NSA wars where a real thing, we decided we should begin one. And so I, [[User:BookWyrm|Noah Pendley]], left to form another army, unofficially kicking off the war.

=== The War: ===
''by [[Julia Persenaire]]''

This war started in early October when Luke Hickox and Noah Pendley (both great guys) decided they were bored and wanted to start one of the infamous NSA wars. The first 3 weeks were fast paced with both armies gathering members and spies crossing over into each side. Squadrons were set up and high councils elected. They planned for the war to start within 2 months…

Spies. Now that was the real highlight of this war. While the fighting techniques were outdated (most people choosing roleplaying) the spy systems in both armies were top notch, or so they thought. EMOARMY (Luke’s army) had the slightly better tactic because his spies worked mainly through private messages. This method, while inflicting confusion on fellow spies, ensured that the leaders of OVMA (Our Very Mature Army) (Noah’s army) stayed in the dark. While OVMA’s spying was less secretive, they had a spy chat with every spy and prospective spy, they were still able to gather info on their opposition. After a month, both armies knew pretty much everything that was going on in the other army. As much as the leaders tried, they were never able to keep spies out of their army,,, and their high councils.

For a while both armies worked on gathering members. War propaganda (taking the shape of memes and catchy phrases) flooded StuBo and HS. Barely a month into the war, another army popped up. This army was called SEArmy, ruled by Julia P. A smaller army, tis true, but they posed a threat to OVMA due to the amount of spies they had, if I do say so myself u_U Since SEArmy had branched off of EMOARMY they decided to not keep any spies there and instead quietly withdrew. As hard as SEArmy tried to keep themselves quiet, they failed. Within a week, 2 other armies knew of their existence, so there went that plan.

All chats were quite active for a while. But then came something that no one was expecting. A bunch of factions popped up. EVERYWHERE YOU TURNED THERE WERE FACTIONS. SERIOUSLY, THIS WAR HOLDS THE UNDISPUTED RECORD FOR THE MOST FACTIONS u_U Most of the large armies tried to swallow up the factions but factions are elusive and can create havoc without getting caught.

Armies continued growing, but at this point, most of that was just turning soldiers against their leaders and taking them for your own army. Double agents became extremely common and there were several people who were with all the armies. One of them was [[Jonatan Rauhala]] (who later went on to create his own army). Jonatan was originally part of OVMA as Second in Command. He helped OVMA get started but didn’t stick with them for long.

Before I go any further, we need to address former disputes that some students carried with them into this war. Jonatan and Gabe had faced off in the past and never had the best relations. As a result, [[Gabriel Nelson|Gabe]] and Joe were never on the same side. This went for several other people whom I won’t mention ‘cause of rEaSoNs (and cause I don’t want anyone to feel bad).

But anywho,,, it was late January before there was any real fighting. The first week of that was nuts. Noah started the thread in Newbies>Games and pinged everyone. And I mean everyone o_o Pinging, [[gabing]] and roleplaying abounded and, for a while, no one was bored. Week two also had a decent amount of action and week three was okay. But by week four, everything had died again.

It was the end of February before anything really happened again. And this thing was a big thing. MOSS took over OVMA completely.

Now this came as a surprise to most people. Joe’s army, M.O.S.S (Mysteriously Original Special Saberists) had kept quiet and very few people knew it was even a thing. MOSS made their grand entrance with a post in Stubo announcing themselves the leading army (since most other armies had died) and promptly overtook OVMA.

Now MOSS was created in early December by Joe and Julia. They slowly took on members and worked out strategies that well surpassed the other armies. They didn’t stick with rping but worked with manipulating lag and such. They had about 15 members before they took over OMVA which brought their numbers to 37. They celebrated with a muffin party as one does in this NSA war (hence why the name The Muffin War was considered for the name of the war)(as far as I know, there were 4 separate muffin parties and OVMA had an intense obsession with muffins because of the MG which will be explained in another article [insert future link]).

So, yea, this brought EMOARMY back from the dead. Luke had left teams (for reasons I will not state here) so Gabe and Brayden became the new leaders. They did a lot of bluffing. Since Luke had gone, MOSS wasn’t still loyal to EMOARMY. MOSS and EMO went between enemy and frenemy for about a month until the war completely died.

That brings us up to today so,,, if anyone has anything I missed or should add I’ll have suggestions open so just add it. Also I may have been a bit biased so you can change that up a bit if you want.
