The Great Goblin War

The Great Goblin War
The Great Goblin War was a conflict that occured on Oreopizza's minecraft server on February 25th, 2018. The conflict was between the Sean Mcbride Terrorist Organization (SMTO) and Team Goblin with their allies in Wilmington, Delaware. The war ended with a decisive Goblin victory, as team Goblin and its allies suffered no losses, and SMTO was utterly destroyed.

Lead-up to the war
Prior to the war, the SMTO released a statement on youtube that they would commit acts of violence if the player known as Yuhface_9000 did not give them 24 diamonds by February 25th. This video prompted Team Goblin and Wilmington to assemble an investigation and counter-terrorism team, later known as Groupe d'intervention de la Goblin nationale (GIGN for short).

The war begins
At approximately 6pm EST the Wilmingtonian and Goblin forces made an amphibious landing near the SMTO village. When several players in the village joined the game to commit the violence they had threatened the day before, GIGN concluded that the village was spearheading the terrorist movement.

GIGN then announced that a Goblin army was approaching from the East. The first SMTO militant was found and killed near a small shack in the hills, which was actually a supply depot full of diamonds. GIGN seized the diamonds and crafted armor and weapons for the war. It is suspected that due to the large quantity of diamond collected in such a short amount of time, the SMTO was using X-Ray texture packs or mods to mine. The Goblin army closed in on the SMTO base, slaughtering all of its residents and burning all wooden structures to the ground. Some SMTO militants died several times because their spawn points were submerged in lava. After the SMTO forces made a tactical retreat and logged off of the server, the stronghold where the terrorists released their threats was captured and blown up.

Throughout the battle, a Goblin war chanter spammed Goblin war chants into the chat to boost the Goblin morale.

Legacy of the war
The Great Goblin War is considered to be a proxy war of the cold war.

The war marked the begining and end of the era of terrorism on the server.

It is thought that the SMTO was trained and supplied by the CIA during the Soviet-Afghan war, due to the large quantity of diamond that the terrorists had acquired.
