Alongside this, there was an AutoMod rule set up to prevent people, even moderators, from pinging the administrators, as a way to "fight ping spam" (which resulted in ping spam getting worse). Bushi set out to establish a reform and created a server with a front as a feedback loop, he also joined a group chat regarding the coup led by Fowl. Later, Blobkat would appoint an unknown person, called C.W.R-official- as a "VIP Admin", and he was privy to the staff channel, this earned the ire of many staff members involved in the coup. This "VIP admin" is believed to be Blob's puppet account, or perhaps a relative of his. | ||

Due to changes in the server code they were able to share this with his entire build team for mass reduced cooldown. The newly-formed group then began to construct the largest Turkey flag yet, covering a fourth of the entire canvas. This was stopped when [[Zekiahepic|Zekiah]] finally revoked the key, after realising that after the 5th incident of them being caught leaking, it would probably not be a good idea to give them it again. | ||
Desperate turks proceeded to spam the entire server. | |||

Zubigri started spamming and Zekiah noticed that C.W.R-official- had been given a high role, even if it carried little power. This irritated Zekiah, and soon after the mods decided they would not moderate in protest. Soon after, the main channels were overrun and the rplace bot was altered so that it would ban masses of individuals. Blobkat soon took notice of this and worked to secure the server once again. However, by this time, everyone has been given @everyone perms and many had been given admin perms, causing havoc. Everyone, including all mods, were given all server permissions, and prompted everyone to spam the #general channel to death. Fed-up, [[NoNameGuy]] deleted most of the channels. Many moderators discontent and a part of the coup messaged Blobkat that they were in on it, and Bushi confronted Blobkat in the staff chat with his discontent. Soon after, many demotions and spamming, negociations began on Bushi's server, "Bushi's Catgirl Slayers". As a result, many mods were demoted, and a plan for the future were put in place, as well as the shuffling of roles. | ||
This conflict has turned even more people against Blobkat and discontentment seems to still grow. | |||
==Fallout:== | |||
The major battles int the noble war have had many effects on the outcome of the site. Notably the coup, which resulted in many changes in both how the discord was run and the vision for the future standing of the rplace.live site. | |||
== | ===The Treaty of Bushi's Catgirl Slayers:=== | ||
Shortly after the breakdown of the coup, Bushi started a VC on his server, Bushi's Catgirl Slayers (BCS), which Zekiah joined on his alt account. Soon after, BlobKat was invited to the talk and Bushi acted as a mediator and negotiator for the two. Many things came to light in this discussion, including the lack of communications previously. BlobKat stated Bushi would not be demoted from moderator status due to his lack of tangible destructive action during the coup, but expressed his discontent with Zekiah's actions in initiating the coup and causing mass bans. | |||
However, Zekiah insisted it was a necessary thing; and Bushi expressed his view that it should be views as the sum of the events which led up to it, not solely as Zekiah's action, as this conflict was spawned by discontentment of BlobKat. Bushi proposed some solutions for the event and worked with Blob to decide on who should remain as mod on the discord server. Finally, terms of peace were agreed to for the discord server in general. That four admins would share power equally; those being Zekiahepic, BlobKat, Relick and Lapis. A glass door system was also discussed; and Bushi expressed that he would continue as a mod on the discord. | |||
At the end of the discussion; Bushi informed the other members of the coup of the outcome. Sadly, among the members, only Bushi himself and Taffy remained as mods; and Zekiah left the server. It still remains to be seen that Zekiah will be given admin again (as of 18/11/2023, he is only a mod). | |||
