Limit Conflicts

The Limit Conflicts were a series of skirmishes and espionage attempts between the M.E.R.C. and Seragoth, made during and after the acceptance of Bootman into Seragoth. It had many stages, with Stage 1 lasting two weeks and Stages 2-3 taking place in 2 days.

Stage 1: Discovery

Around this time, Seragoth had closed their borders to all people outside of their faction. JumpyJay had gotten permission to come to Seragoth when he wanted by MagicHutch himself, so he assumed that still held true. The first time he came, he discovered that Seragoth's nether portal had been encased in dirt and its water elevator had been trapped with light blue glass, causing anyone to fall down it to die of falling instead of landing in water. JumpyJay quickly told BakingWizard, assuming it had been done by someone in Seragoth to keep people out. BakingWizard refused those accusations, saying that she hadn't heard about it and that no one in their country would have a reason to do that. It turned out that MagicHutch had done it and not told his faction members. Sensing the rising hostility, JumpyJay didn't want to push the situation, so he decided he would come to Seragoth using invisibility potions to prevent causing conflict. He and his accomplice Pepper2 ventured to Seragoth invisible to look at the impressive castle they had been building, admiring it from inside. Pepper2 wondered how they got all the resources for it, skeptical of its legitimacy. Then, they saw MagicHutch building the castle at the top floor. Except he wasn't just building it. He was flying, placing, and breaking blocks, almost at will. Suddenly, they had their answer, and were teleported home by ItsOmnyx. They were in shock about what they had just seen, but didn't tell anyone, biding their time to use that information at the optimal time.

Stage 2: The Breaking of the Pact

After Bootman joined Seragoth and the absorption of the Commerce Guild into the M.E.R.C., Pepper2 caught wind of a trade between sophiawrong and Bootman involving a netherite block. Unable to pass up the opportunity, Pepper2 got a spare invisibility potion and a lava bucket and went to Seragoth. He quickly found Bootman, killing him with lava and taking the netherite block, and then JumpyJay teleported him home. They marveled at it, but then decided that they didn't want relations with Bootman to go south, so they returned it to him shortly after. Despite its return, Seragoth still didn't like this. On Pepper2's next adventure to Seragoth, this time visible, MagicHutch tried to trap him in lava. However, this was in vain, as Pepper2's highly enchanted armor saved him. Pepper2 then turned the tables and killed MagicHutch in the trap. Pepper2 quickly left Seragoth after MagicHutch promised his revenge.

Stage 3: Vengeance

In the wake of his death, MagicHutch went to M.E.R.C. and placed an End Crystal in their storage area. Recognizing it as highly explosive, JumpyJay pushed it with a piston out of his base and shot it, disposing of it from a safe distance. The M.E.R.C. then revealed to both Seragoth and Corruscade that MagicHutch had been given the powers of a god, and everyone was shocked and a bit confused. The M.E.R.C. made it clear that they had no way of knowing if any of the progress they had made on the server was legitimate or not. JumpyJay then pledged his own revenge to Seragoth, although this has not been acted upon yet. A full chunk lava casting machine was considered but not put into use yet.
