NEW /int/craft Wiki

Portugoa is a discord server which has been the center of the modern /int/craft community since the conclusion of i38 in early 2023.

It was founded by Falklands/Goaboa on the 2nd of may 2022 originally for the purpose of organizing his faction in i37–The Reddit foreign volunteer fighters in Ukraine. Following the utter failure of i37 it was repurposed for use in Epochcraft 3 to serve as the discord for Falklands' town of Goa.

In the heralded i38, Falklands decided to make Portugal with numried. As you might imagine, it was around this time the name “Portugoa” came into use. Falklands' penchant for diplomacy resulted in Portugoa becoming somewhat of a hangout for the relevant players of the server–oldfags, nation leaders, even jannies would regularly chat together and hang out in voice calls. After i38 concluded its' offical discord server was made read-only. Portugoa remained active as many of the iteration's most important players were already in it. Roles were made for each metagroup, group gaming sessions were planned, vc calls continued. Much of the server's conversations and memes spawned from the many 'debates' between Voth and ArkySaw. Can you perceive Rome?

In late 2023 news of the upcoming Grimur reached Portugoa. Intrigued by the shameless porting of 34's combat config, interest in playing the server began to arise. In an extremely rare instance of pan-/int/craft unity, most everyone decided to play together with Portugoa as the headquarters. To the surprise of Falklands, he was chosen to be the leader of the faction. The coalition consisted of Ex-Strykergang/Vothgangers, Domsquad, Various TaP subgroups such as Cyprus and the Macacos, some ex-Jannies, and many more assorted /int/craft wanderers.

The buildup to Grimurs was highly contentious between the admins of Grimur and Portugoa in general, who violently debated each other over the philosophies of the server and the fears that its mechanics would make the server shit (Tldr, the Portugoans were correct, it was dogshit). Once the server released Portguoa fashioned itself as “Chudtopia”, but later changed to 'Wesphalea' (referencing “the west has fallen”) due to Grimur's admins having HRT rage over Portugoa's chuddiness. Portugoa was one of the server's largest nations, numbering around 80-90 players, and carried out what may have been the server's only successful military campaign. Eventually, everyone had grown tired of playing Grimur because frankly it was utterly terrible. The spiteful admins ragebanned most of Portugoa's members anyways, so the crusade ended around early January 2023.

The crusade on Grimur brought in many new members to Portugoa–primarily from TaP. Although the server was terrible, it did unite together the contemporary community of /int/craft together in a way never seen before. Chuds won btw

After the humiliating (and completely expected) collapse of Grimur, the community of Portugoa was as strong as ever and continued on as normal. During Crusalis' ww1 iteration, the small handful of /int/crafters who played it–including that server's owner, Gaz–used Portugoa as a sort of french salon where any secrets and politics of the server were openly discussed and memed.

Later that year during summer, Fili's new /int/craft iteration ended up being dominated by a loose coalition of the prominent groups in Portugoa. It had become obvious by now that Portugoa was the center of /int/craft's modern community. Players within the server and outside of it felt as though Portugoa had become something of a hugbox. It's harshest critics
