**TaP** (an abbreviation of **Tyrants and Plebians**) also known as **Monorisu** is a semi-related Technic server. Similar to /int/craft, it is a modded version of Minecraft that utilizes Flan's Mod to add non-vanilla items such as weaponry and vehicles. This article in question refers to the community that migrated to /int/craft for a time to participate in the server, commonly referred to as **Leitefags** (formally as **Voltz**).
===== i28 =====
In their first iteration, they played as Porto Alegre and after talking with the other Brazilian towns they formed the Brazilian Empire. Webley and [[Pontifexmax]] who played Salvador, joined the group in this iteration.
As Brazil, they set themselves to conquer South America and annexed Uruguay without a fight, causing the Paraguayans to resign from the iteration over multiple memeraids including the genocide of the Guarani Natives((https://youtu.be/JNY0nTl2GP8)) who had settled Mato Grosso. They instigated the coalition against Columbia((https://youtu.be/WuV9U_yk3ao)) after their leader was brutally murdered during his diplomatic trip around the North American continent.
During the War of Cuba, some of its members took part in the fighting as mercenaries.
They also took part in what would have been the last war of the server as they crossed the Andes Mountains towards Santiago. The conflict was resolved within minutes by Fili enforcing a ceasefire. By then the British Expeditionary force had been terminated in the cold mountain range and the fortress was noticeably damaged by their cannons.
===== i30 =====
Played as Russian Peacekeepers in Montenegro. They fought against Macedonia led by Raz and Italy led by Crippo. Allying themselves with [[Stryker]]'s Serbia and [[Jonathan]]'s Croatia. They also waged war against the admin [[Onions]] who had an american aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean Sea. The carrier suffered heavy damage by multiple airstrikes, but at the end of the war it was still afloat.
===== i31 =====
After the last iteration they were looking to be more active within the community. After i28 and i30 they had shown themselves very capable fighters, although not the best, but they chose to challenge themselves and picked Israel as the next nation to play as (this also meant they would get first pick for the next iteration). They knew that playing as jews in a 4chan server community would be as good as a death sentence, and that they were starting at a precarious diplomatic position. Nonetheless they settled with it and created two towns, Haifa and Tel Aviv. This caused MafiaCraft to leave the group and join Iraq
Joining the clear underdogs of the iteration would be [[numried]], who had been their previous foe in Macedonia, and Viriato. Together they summed up to 15 total players.
A lot of preparation was made in order to face the incoming storm. The Mountain range was completelly terraformed and huge walls were constructed. Each day that passed, they suffered memeraids by all of the different arab nations in the region, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia being the most proeminent of the bunch. This made it crystal clear that they had no allies in the levant.
During the week, the Arab nations would host an event at Cyprus, discussing the future of the region and setting guidelines for all muslim nations. Israel was invited to it, but it was only so they would be present to be insulted by all of the attendees. The Conference would be cut short by multiple grenades going off and a shoot out inside the building. Israel would be blamed for the terrorist act, that caused another conference to be hosted, this time at Lebanon, where the Arab League was formally created with the sole objective of purging the jews from the server.
Preparation for the massive war were made. They grinded for the remaining days of the week to ensure they had enough equipment to fight the war. The walls were improved, the plain to the south were filled with barbed wire and tank traps. tnt trenches were set in the outer perimeter, ready to be exploded remotely. the Mountains and the bridge to the east were also rigged and massive siege towers were erected on their northern border with Lebanon. Housing a special surprise kept for the Lebanese.
The day of the war came, The coalition composed of [[https://intcraft.wiki/lebanon_i31| Lebanon]], Palestine, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt attacked Israel, some sources report at the most active time of the war that the coalition had around 80 players, others that it was only 50. Either way the 15 Israeli's faced them.\\ At the start of the war the secret was revealed, the doors of the tower were raised and 2 tnt autocannons, nicknamed Katyusha ((https://youtu.be/d_zvA6Q7FlY)) revealed themselves, launching an uninterrupted barrage of explosions. This halted the advance of the coalition for the early stages of the war, buying the Israelis precious time. Meanwhile, on the south, Viriato and Numried were raking an incredible amount of kills with their tanks against the Egyptians and Palestinians.
After the initial barrage was over, both sides clashed on the north for what felt like hours, the arabs slowly advancing towards Haifa, the Iraqi were sighted at the Golan Heights, shortly after the mountain erupted in explosions and the attackers were dispersed. The Jordanians, realising that the Coalition was in dire need of support and having no one else to fight, attacked from the south east, Their artillery barrage triggering the tnt minefield at the south. Their push to the east was met with another massive explosion on the mountain ranges on the other bank of the River Jordan.\\ All of this bought more and more time for the Israelis, who followed a defense in depth doctrine, but they weren't certain as of yet if they could last for the remaining 4 hours of war. The Lebanese requested help north, as they were making their way to Haifa, having breached the first set of walls and needed assistance to push to the main building. The Saudis and Iraqis answered the call. The Israelis diverted all of their troops north, except for [[numried]] and Viriato who held the south. Heavy fighting ensued in the north as the Israelis brought tanks to support their troops and the Lebanese and Saudis used their RPGs to counter them. It wasn't enough, At the Three hour mark, Haifa fell.\\ With the fall of Haifa, morale in the Israeli troops was starting to dwindle, at the same moment, the southern most outwards walls were being breached, the order to fall back to the next defensive line was given and LeiteArts took the role of sapper and began filling the terrain under the enemies' feet with explosives((https://youtu.be/ZCZw1IEBsjs)), it managed to buy some more time as the attackers stood in awe of what just had happened in front of their eyes.\\ Tired from playing a meat grinder for nearly 4 hours and feeling that they had accomplished their objectives by capturing Haifa and pushing the Israeli's to their inner defensive perimeter, the Lebanese who were a majorly european group declared themselves victorious and left the server. This to the dismay of their allies, left the northern flank unmanned, leading to the liberation of Haifa and conquest of Beirut, supplying the army with fresh resources and ammunition, witnessing this, the alliance's morale crumbled and the Israelis were able to push back the attackers from the south and east.\\ After one and a half hours of fighting, Israel took over the Sinai and the Alliance surrendered. The war had lasted for [[https://intcraft.wordpress.com/2020/02/23/israel-prevails-in-six-hour-war/ | Six Hours]] and TaP had prevailed.
After the war, many considered the server to be over, the arabs felt cheated out of their victory and left in mass, but Sudan was still belligerant and wanted to assert itself as one of the winners. On the next weekend, Israel would fight in Sudan. The Sudanese erected a massive cube fortification, this prompted the Israelis to unleash their Katyusha again. After the barrage, the cube was severely damaged and the jews pushed inwards, capturing the fortress within hours of the start of the conflict and this marked the end of i31.
