LTW-Stormfront War

The LTW-Stormfront War was a war between the two major team at the time and the first big war on 9b6t. It involved Team Lead The Way, Stormfront and The Llama Alliance.

Lead The Way and pre-Stormfront era
In July 2019, the chat on the server was relatively civil and insults were rare. By late July 2019, the largest team on the server was Team Lead The Way. Since they had the seed, they could farm a lot of structures and had an edge in the gathering of resources. This all changed when more experienced anarchy players, like CyberTF2, Sirkibel and Go Hoosiers joined the server. Team Lead The Way suffered a major setback when their base was griefed by Skeppy_Avocado on August 2nd 2019. By early August, the toxicity had increased drastically.

Rise of Stormfront and resource race
While Team Lead The Way was regrouping and planning a new base, the newly created Team Stormfront was building large farms. By late August 2019, Stormfront was by far the Team with the most resources. In early September, Lukflug and the newly created Llama Alliance had caught up significantly, by building their own farms.

Day of base leaks
On September 14th 2019 the Team Phantom 80k base is griefed, causing Team Phantom to be dissolved and Team Alpha to be created. XXWW leaks the old Stormfront base coordinates, causing The Llama Alliance and Stormfront to become enemies. The new Team Alpha makes an alliance with both Team Lead The Way and Stormfront, making them ultimately not fight in the war. To preserve peace, CyberTF2 and Lukflug sign an non-aggression pact between Team Lead The Way and Stormfront.

Grief on LTW
On September 21st 2019, Stormfront griefs the Arrcy/Lizard Nettle base, that had been used by Team Lead The Way as a stopgap base. Team Lead The Way interpreted this act as a declaration of war.

Exitium Maximus

As an attempt to compete with Stormfront, The Llama Alliance and Team Lead The Way planned an incursion on spawn, lead by HautDaneben and XXWW. They founded Water Village as an forward operation base. JeremyDE, a member of both The Llama Alliance and Stormfront, leaked the coordinates of Water Village and Llama Outpost 2 to Stormfront. Water Village was griefed on October 11th 2019 and Llama Outpost 2 on October 12th 2019. This caused The Llama Alliance to be disbanded and Exitium Maximus be cancelled.

End of the war
After the griefs and the dissolution of The Llama Alliance, Lukflug saw no point in trying to compete with Stormfront. On October 18th 2019, Lukflug left the server. Sirkibel declared that this meant that Team Lead The Way was dead and they had won the war. Stormfront had cemented itself as the dominant team on the server and has kept this position ever since.

End of the "Stormfront crusade"
After Lukflug left, VulpineYakJava made an non-agression pact between Team Lead The Way, Team Pyrad and Stormfront. In November 2019, Stormfront said that they had stopped their "crusade", for now, and that they were neutral to Team Lead The Way, Team Pyrad and Project Hephaestus.

Post-Dupe
Because of the whitelist and the end of the war, server activity declined after September 2019. On December 15th 2019, a dupe was enabled. This caused resources to become essentially irrelevant in the politics of the server. Between January 14th 2019 and January 16th 2019, Stormfront was the only Team on the server. But due to the increase in server activity starting from January 2019 onward, Danimania and the grief of Cryptopia, a second major war started, involving Stormfront and Danimania.
