Operation Bonkers was a military plot to overthrow the old authoritarian bureaucracy in Pushkino. Fuelled by the discontent caused by the inactivity and lack of representation involved in the stagnant revived Pushkino authoritarian bureaucracy and restlessness over the growing demographic change that was underway in Pushkino. Player jusipat invited cflip_ into this conspiracy and the Battle Tower was constructed in haste, which acted as a rallying point for the conspirators. The conspiracy eventually developed into a full blown insurrectionist movement and attracted widespread support among the population of Pushkino involving player Wikaros, Kjolt947 and bcfoss.
The Coup
The insurrection took place on July 29, with General Secretary of the Revolution Cflip_ proclaiming to all users on the server:
"Under the authority given to me as General Secretary, I declare a new provisional revolutionary government in Pushkino. Oaths of loyalty to the new regime will be accepted immediately."
The revolution was bloodless and was the first conflict to utilise the new innovation of crossbow muskets. All suspected counterrevolutionaries were gathered at the Bank of Pushkino and intimidated or otherwise coerced into submitting their authority to General Secretary Cflip_. The conflict ended in the upending of the existing Pushkino government with the new Revolutionary Council, following Stalinist collectivism as its primary ideological goals.
Red Pushkino
Following the succesful coup, the new revolutionary flag was hoisted upon the flag tower, with Pushkino's old authoritarian flag being ripped down. Plans were made for aggressive collectivization much to the dismay of some of the townsfolk. This did not end up happening though, as the server was rapidly fizzling out.
Controversy and Decline of Server
The demographics of the server had slightly changed since its hosting, and newer players did not find the same enjoyment in the Minecraft politics that had been part of the server. This severely killed enthusiasm for the server as the coup ultimately created an awkward and frigid environment on the server. This was the last major event to pass on Fvonny's 3.
Trivia
Operation Bonkers would be the main inspiration for the People's Union, which occured in server Fvonny's 5.
