After several memeraids (including one in which PhantomGuy, fully armored, was punched to death by a naked), an assassination attempt at a chariot race, and other acrimonious events, Phoenicia held a larp-council in Tyre to form a plan for a coalition to effect an invasion of Troy. While this plot was initially successful, the invasion of Troy was a failure. A newly resurgent Norse metagroup swelled Petra into a super power, ultimately defeating Phoenicia, fully capturing Tyre and causing the federation to disband. Phoenicia's propaganda played up the Ba'al worship aspect of the nation, and utilized several schizo troll videos and images in order to propagate this ethos. Phoenicia built a statue of Ba'al, replete with a fire sacrifice pit. Several players, including [[falklands|Jesus]] himself, were pushed into the fiery pit. ---- ===== Gallery ===== [{{:tripoli.png?300x200|Tripoli, the northernmost city in Phoenicia}}] [{{:phoeniciapropaganda.png?300x200|Phoenician propaganda}}] [{{:phoeniciabros.png?300x200|The leaders of Tyre and Byblos}}]\\ [{{:phoeniciahall2.png?300x183|Tyrian meeting hall, wherein the anti Trojan alliance was consummated}}] [{{:declarationofwar.png?300x200|A declaration of war against Troy}}] [{{:phoenicianword.png?300x200|The city of Tyre}}]
