FoG War (1999)
The war is also known as World War IV, where MD, the TSA coalition, and allies defeated the FoG coalition, remnants of the former RoCK coalition.
Ceasefire
Posted November 5, 2000.
After a long and brutal World War IV, a cease fire has been signed between the FoG coalition, MDK, UED, Forest and Arrow, MD, SoF, CLS, TFS, and Omega. With Patience of TIE acting as a mediator between the two sides, a peace agreement was finally signed. "Continuing the war would not serve us any good," stated Josie, leader of Omega.
The whole conflict started late November when FoG decided to attack RAGE, who was at war with TGA, to honor their FDP since TGA was in the FoG coalition. FoG later pulled out of the war, and did the same thing to Arrow when they warred againt HAN over retaliation disputes. MD and SoF were defensively allied to RAGE and Arrow, who were both hit by the FoG coalition, so MD and SoF went to war against them. Eventually this brought more allies into the war until it was a full blown World War.
But, after several weeks of fighting, a ceasefire was called at MIdnight on December 12th of this reset between the fighting alliances. The RAGE and TGA war, however, will continue uninterrupted, and both sides have agreed to let it be a one-on-one war. "Neither [RAGE nor TGA] seemed interested in their war ending," said Josie. "I would rather the war end, but I can't force alliances to want to come to the peace talks."
"Terms were just peace between all involved," SoF's leader Helmet added. "All, that is, except for RAGE vs. TGA, which we agreed to police and keep it one-on-one."
M_A_C, leader of TFS, stated that it was beneficial for both sides to sign a ceasefire at this point. "Fighting for a month and a half isn't good for either side, no matter who is winning."
TIE's leader, Patience, whose alliance was not involved in the war, did act as a mediator since she had friends on both sides. She stated that peace was not quite so easy at first. "It appeared Legion and NLS were holdouts, they wanted to fight to the death," she said. "[Legion's leader] Blood Saber came around early on, but he was having trouble convincing the rest to come to the table."
In fact, Patience even stated that she has been trying to get peace since the beginning of the war, but getting the two sides to agree was not easy. FoG and NLS's leader Don Machiavelli admitted that "there were a few peace talks before but at the time the majority wanted to keep fighting, so we did."
Samoan, leader of MD and the coalition TSA (which was not involved in the war), also said that peace had been attempted before. "I had contacted several FoG leaders to talk about possible options a few days into the war, but we could not agree upon a deal at that time," he said.
Most leaders would not comment on who they felt one the war, but some did say that FoG took a heavy beating.
As for total attacks, the leaders were not able to give an exact amount, but Josie did estimate that Omega hit FoG with 7000 attacks, based on averages per day. He did add, however, that it was a "very rough estimate".
