The first action of the new Prime Minister was to try and appease the boiling tensions between the raiding pirates, the returned former Queen of [[Evermoor]], [[Reptaria]], and the head of the [[TUPE]] alliance, [[Unic0rnjunk101]]. Peace deals were consistently breached, which led to bold British action against Bensterpc and Pipsterpc: Their southern fortress near to British controlled [[Port Royal]] was assaulted and damaged, their fleet set ablaze. Attacks were expanded to Havanna, which was damaged in multiple raids. The newly revived elves of Evermoor who had formerly announced their friendship to the British Empire now declared war, which resulted in the streets of Evermoor being blown up with [[cannons]]. | The first action of the new Prime Minister was to try and appease the boiling tensions between the raiding pirates, the returned former Queen of [[Evermoor]], [[Reptaria]], and the head of the [[TUPE]] alliance, [[Unic0rnjunk101]].

The war dragged on and neither side was willing to capitulate.

On 30th July 2015, video evidence was obtained by [[Zindarak]] showing the 0utlaws and their allies harassing, spawn killing and allegedly hacking. HardTimez was permanently banned from the server and his crew members were issued a two-day temporary ban as a warning. Upon returning to the server, they chose to join the crew known as [[Red Lotus]] whose captain was the infamous long-time player [[KingKarim]]. The fighting continued for another week until KingKarim was, in turn, banned for harassment. The remnants of the crew split up. Some formed a smaller crew known as [[Black Flag]], others allowed themselves to be assimilated into the [[Starks]] and the [[Elven Empire]]. The main perpetrators were not granted peace until they'd paid war reparations. | On 30th July 2015, video evidence was obtained by [[Zindarak]] showing the 0utlaws and their allies harassing, spawn killing and allegedly hacking.
