The Niuhai-Kjolibope War originally was a conflict between Niuhai and player Kjolt947, who began attacking the Niuhai Battlements after the destruction of Casa D'Starwarsfan. It directly lead to the creation of Kjolibope. Both Niuhai and Kjolibope, despite their differences at the time would be early member states of the People's Union.
The constant state of warfare in Niuhai during this period severely demoralized its players and brought the once wealthy state into shambles. The depressing state of the region lead to the creation of Litaly as Wikaros had no more desire to live in the run-down area. Nevertheless, Niuhai persevered through the war, soon joining the People's Union and emerging as a wealthy and powerful integrated SSR.
History
Kjolt's Retaliation
Due to the constant shifting of blame on him for various insignificant things, Player Kjolt947 became angry at the members of Niuhai and ended up incinerating Cflip_ and his valuable tools. Enraged, he drove Kjolt away where he lived in the wild for several days.
After slyly approaching Niuhai once again after search parties were given up on, Kjolt947 launched the first documented Kool-Aid attack on any of the servers unto Cflip_'s fort. All of his items were stolen and brought to the then unknown and unnamed location of Kjolibope, or left to burn. With a new threat looming on the horizon, Niuhai and nearby nations went into a state of national emergency.
Following his first escape, Kjolt947 had established a hideout in a savanna mountain's cave system to escape from the greater powers, where he managed to survive using heaps of stolen food and resources from Niuhai. Occasionally, he would return to Niuhai and attempt to kill and destroy its buildings and inhabitants with buckets of lava, while swiping more resources as needed. This area soon became known as Kjolibope, but any public structures were not to be built until conflicts resolved.
Attack on Niuhai
Due to Kjolt's lack of military power over Niuhai, jusipat joked about Kjolt joining another hermit on the server, tundra_lord. Multiple group efforts were made to take down tundra_lord over the next few days, even going so far as to enlist the aid of Mathooleus, but none were successful. Kjolt took this idea to heart and tundra_lord joined him to attack Niuhai while all players in and around Niuhai had gathered for a festival designed to welcome Kjolt947 back to Niuhai, where he was planned to be killed. With the complete deprivation of resources in Niuhai and the fact that tundra_lord had spent more time on the server gathering resources than other players, Niuhai and her allies were unable to defeat tundra_lord at this time. Kjolt947 was killed by player jusipat by lava bucket during the chaos of the attack.
tundra_lord's occupation
After the death of his co-conspirator Kjolt, tundra_lord resolved to occupy Niuhai and the surrounding countryside for some time. It became abundantly clear that this was not a safe job to do, as jusipat and bcfoss, who remained within the city boundaries of Niuhai; unable to escape as Wikaros and Cflip_ had done, resisted feverently all of tundra_lord's actions. They would circle the occupier and feign compliance only to strike with stone axes constantly, keeping tundra_lord on edge, and further fraying the relationship between tundra_lord and Kjolt947. In order to prevent any more Kool-Aid attacks from Kjolt, the formidable Machinima HQ was constructed outside of the city and designed in such a way that attackers would have to build into the sky to get in. tundra_lord attempted to attack this base at one point, but wasn't able to make any progress.
Search for Kjolibope
Niuhai's members went through great effort to find Kjolt's base. Unfortunately, the base was located in a cave in the side of a hill and thus completely invisible, but multiple attempts were made to follow Kjolt on his way back from his attacks.
People's Union and Fall of tundra_lord
tundra_lord's occupation brought a sense of unity and nationalism between players who had lived in the Niuhai region during the early days of the war, with these small settlements eventually uniting to form the People's Union, united against a common enemy. tundra_lord would not play often on the server following the war, as the new People's Union remained hostile towards him due to the prior occupation.
Eventually, Cflip_ was able to negotiate peace between Kjolibope and the People's Union and the Niuhai-Kjolibope War had officially ended. Kjolt returned most of Cflip_'s stolen belongings, but most of the diamonds were used to make armour. This required a little more negotiating after the fact, but no more conflicts came out of it. Kjolibope would soon be strongarmed into joining the People's Union by General Secretary jusipat.
