| ‡While the entire Continuum declared war on NoV, the majority of the wars came from FOK, NATO, Valhalla, Gramlins and TPF. *Legio X is a member of both the Hanseatic League and The Brotherhood. †FOK is a member of both LEO and the Continuum. -Although no battles were fought between the two alliances, the LSF was still technically at war with NoV at this time due to LSF's unwillingness to make peace with NoV. | |
The Continuum-NoV War is a war which started on May 10, 2008 when Continuum members NATO, TPF, and FOK! spearheaded a Continuum offensive against Norden Verein. A declaration of war from The German Empire followed moments later. No Casus Bellis was issued in the declarations of war - it was later revealed that the Casus Bellis contained evidence which would have violated the CyberNations Forums terms of service, and therefore could not be posted in the declaration of war.
On May 11, three Norden Verein nations launched nuclear weapons on Continuum nations, most notably FOK! and NATO government. All three nations where sanctioned, and Norden Verein expelled the nations and publicly condemned the action. At update, the Finnish Cooperation Organization activated their MDP with Norden Verein and declared war on The Phoenix Federation. FCO was instantly declared on by numerous TPF allies.
At update on May 12, Legio x, a member of the Hanseatic League, declared war on Defense Confederation, a TPF protectorate - they stated a small number of Defense Confederation declarations on Legio x nations as the reasoning in their choice of targets. Defense Confederation government later admitted that they had been ordered to prepare for a Legio x attack on TPF, and some members had jumped the gun. TPF and allies quickly declared war on Legio x.
Freaksafari, a member of the Brotherhood, declared support for Legio x (Legio x is also a member of The Brotherhood), and attacked members of the TPF/Continuum coalition. A number of alliances already at war with Norden Verein, FCO and Legio x recognized a state of war with there allies.
Casus Bellis[]
Screenshots(404 link) provided by the Phoenix Federation from an off site forum have been used to imply that Norden Verein was a staging ground for white supremacist recruitment. However, such screenshots could not be posted on the CyberNations Forums, as they would violate the terms of service.
Validity[]
Although the provided screenshots were genuine, Norden Verein and her allies have claimed that the proof is logically invalid. They claim that the accusations mainly concerned ex-members who had already been punished and removed from Norden Verein. Continuum alliances claim, without proof, that these nations recreated and rejoined Norden Verein. Shortly after being attacked, Norden Verein released a statement in which they refuted the accusations made in the Casus Bellis.
Controversy[]
The Casus Bellis sparked controversy and discussion on the CN forums concerning the sometimes blurry line between IC and OOC. Individuals across the Cyberverse have deemed the Casus Bellis null and void, arguing that it is entirely OOC, while others claim that the Casus Bellis is nonexistent because of the fact that it couldn't be posted on the Cyber Nations forums.
The war operation did not break any game rules, but it raised concern among the Cyber Nations community over maintaining the game's in-character, roleplaying atmosphere. Several people also viewed the CB in a negative light for its effect of tarnishing the reputations of a group of players, not only just a group of in-game characters.[1]
