-**Middle East** (**i31**) was a server hosted by [[Onions]] in February 2020. It was the second of his series of three servers in 2019--2020. The theme was the 2010s Middle East. The map crop extended from the Nile river in the west to the east of Iran, and from Turkmenistan in the north to the southern edge of the Arabian peninsula.+**Middle East** (**i31**) was a server hosted by [[Onions]] in February 2020.

 Most of the towns were settled around the Levant, so fighting was concentrated there. There were two major conflicts that developed: one centered on Israel, the other on Syria. Most of the towns were settled around the Levant, so fighting was concentrated there.

-Conflict between Israel and the surrounding states was born out of larp. A mid-week conference was held in Lebanon, before the first war weekend, that saw most of the Arab world declare Israel their enemy and pledge troops to fight Israel in the first war window. Exceptions were Syria, since their leaders were friends and had a meta-alliance, and some other countries who were planning to fight Syria or fight among themselves.+Conflict between Israel and the surrounding states was born out of larp.

-The "Six-Hour War", as it was called, ended in astonishing Israeli victory, despite them being vastly outnumbered. The Arabs had made progress in the first part of the war. [[lebanon_i31|Lebanon]] even captured the northern Israeli town of Haifa. However, Lebanon prematurely logged off and so had their progress controversially undone by the admin. Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and others, who were struggling on Tel Aviv's southern and eastern walls, lost morale after this, and they were routed and their claim progress pushed back to near the pre-war border.+The "Six-Hour War", as it was called, ended in astonishing Israeli victory, despite them being vastly outnumbered.

 Syria, the largest and most powerful nation on the server (having many skilled players like [[XDA1]] and [[Lemon_Shot]] in addition to the regulars of [[Strykergang]]) were perhaps overconfident, and made enemies of many of their neighbors to the east. Two of these nations were Kurdistan, led by Brass and [[TheBigKazM]], and Iraq, led by [[Jonathan]] and Myron_N_Gaines, who were closely allied to each other and had allies in the west. There was also Kuwait and the USA, who were also closely allied to each other, and ISIS, led by the admin Onions. Syria, the largest and most powerful nation on the server (having many skilled players like [[XDA1]] and [[Lemon_Shot]] in addition to the regulars of [[Strykergang]]) were perhaps overconfident, and made enemies of many of their neighbors to the east.

-Faced against this coalition, stryker, in an expert diplomatic play, exploited tensions within the alliance and convinced Kurdistan to change targets to Turkey. With Kurdistan's departure from the fight, Iraq also disengaged from Syria, focusing instead on the Israeli front during the beginning of the war. This left just Kuwait, USA, and ISIS in the fight: not enough to properly siege Palmyra. ISIS capital Ar-Rutbah was instead captured by Syria in the ensuing fighting. Kuwait, angry at the betrayal of their once ally Iraq, launched an invasion of Baghdad, but it was defended successfully, and then the attack was pressed on Kuwait City. Kurdistan, Syria, and the USA joined in the Iraq-Kuwaiti war in turn, but it ended in stalemate as the war window closed.+Faced against this coalition, stryker, in an expert diplomatic play, exploited tensions within the alliance and convinced Kurdistan to change targets to Turkey.

-The server was the canvas for one of the greatest moments in /int/craft history. On 20th February 2020, the Great Pyramid of Cairo (centerpiece of the city of Cairo) spontaneously floated into the air and caused so much server lag, TPS dropped to about 3 and everyone in render distance of the Pyramid lagged out.+The server was the canvas for one of the greatest moments in /int/craft history.

 The cause of this was found to be a config issue with the "BigDoors" plugin, which allowed players to animate blocks to move like a door. The "portculis" door type (blocks moving up and down, basically) had no size limit, so a player called "cupkaits" selected the entire pyramid and turned it into a door, and activating the door made it float. Cupkaits was later revealed to be an alt of Onion Wizard. The pyramid was rebuilt, floating in the sky and with engines. The cause of this was found to be a config issue with the "BigDoors" plugin, which allowed players to animate blocks to move like a door.
