M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E

Existed: 8th July 2020-Present Members: 5-10

M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E, or Manchester Innovaters Currently Ruling Over Where A Van Exits, started out as a meme group but during The Summer Wars it evolved into a griefing group. It is responsible for the griefing of many Lumen towns.

Foreign Relations:
Due to its nature, this group is not well-liked amongst most of the VanillaCraft community. This has not stopped it from signing non-agression pacts with other groups however, and from getting other groups to cut off alliances with their main enemy, the Provinces of Lumen, under the threat of being griefed.

Early Days
M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E started out as a meme group made by EdgyCommunist69. With no clear goal in mind however, he quickly gave command over to GalacticalNova. After accumulating a few members, it grew into a sort of 'group circlejerk': members would make fun of groups for taking the game very seriously, primarily the Provinces of Lumen, as nearly all the members viewed the group negatively.

Growing Tensions with Lumen
Many in M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E began to support a war with Lumen, making memes about how they would cause the group's downfall and generally becoming more serious about wanting to do it. Tynominally and MissPrism, two people already at war with Lumen, were members of M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E. Edgy assured Murphy to not take their threats seriously however, as he had plans of his own, and wanted maximum damage for when they were set into motion.

The War with Lumen
Once The Dongos, AT&T and Edgy began their campaign against Lumen, they were met with overwhelming support from M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E. Some members who were thought to not support their cause were purged. When Ty and MissPrism were banned, Edgy looked towards M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E for help with griefing. The day after Lumen City fell, D4RON and another random player griefed Exodus River, and the day after that, Edgy, Fallen (who was not actually part of M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E) and D4RON all griefed Lunaris together.

A couple weeks passed without any Lumen towns getting griefed by M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E. This changed though when Tulip Fountain, a Lumen recruitment town, was leaked and subsequently griefed. Before the grief, Edgy learned that wertia3 was actually supplying information to Lumen the entire time, and even helped ncar with a strategy to try and get many of their members banned, and so he was included in the attack team. Edgy, Fallen, Nova, DivineSmooof and wertia all griefed the base, which did not require much tnt. Near the end of the grief, wertia was lured down into a ravine and killed for his association with Lumen. He was subsequently purged from M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E.
