MLK Raid
This raid is the pre-Wolf Moon raid as it is related to it. Starting off with NotTheNoob101 making a post saying weird stuff about Joshdagamer. At first, he was not doing much but the community made some weird posts. Eventually, NotTheNoob101 vandalized a page and he was shortly banned but his post wasn't deleted until January 31 by RedKingdomOrder.

The Wolf Moon Raid
This raid was a special one, as it involved many different alt accounts. It is also the biggest known raid of the Ron wiki to date, which took place near the end of January 2021 The raid as presumably ended. This series of raids is caused by unknown people with many alt accounts. They could possibly be from x.spy or people from the RoN Discord. The aim is to defame the wiki as well as the people moderating them, especially TheRichSeries. Only two methods of vandalism were implemented, and they are 1. spam creating pages and 2. spamming the discussions area. They also created many 18+ posts and shipped RedKingdomOrder, JHRacer, and Therealbounber. This demoralized them and made them destroyed.

However, on the last days they have tried two new tactics, they impersonated TheRichSeries for some reason, and they created a ship between two unrelated RoN Wiki users.

This raid is the longest raid and the one that resulted in the most people banned in the history of the wiki. It is also the only raid with shipping.

Bans
The raids resulted in 34 people banned. All of them are listed below (includes alt accounts):

Aftermath
The wiki is now in a state of demoralization. Even though the content was untouched, after the initial raid, the RoN community (TheRichSeries) was plagued by the staggering amount of alts. He had gone on to ban (number) amounts of people before stopping. Some of them seemed to hint at a larger raid in the near future. The last raid was so damaging that the SOAP team had to step in.

Due to RealKnockout's late response, there were calls and polls to have more active mods such as RedKingdomOrder, so RedKingdomOrder became admin on January 29th. Unfortunately, KingstonsChoppin and Eveisrude was banned by FANDOM for unknown reasons

Early February Raid/Groundhog Raid
This is still incomplete, but revolves around user PontiusPilate34 advertising a future raid on multiple pages via redirects. The entire wiki had pages redirected, and vandals managed to get past their abuse filter. RedKingdomOrder managed to block certain accounts, but the damage of the raid was fixed en masse by a regular editor named ForgeLoxus. As the pages were being restored, RealKnockout got online, and finally managed to stop a raid (this is the first raid he has played a major part in mitigating). He mass deleted pages, blocked raiders, and restored some pages. He has also added new filters and toughened automated punishments for making edits which are identified as vandalism. RedKingdomOrder makes a poll saying that he wants a another admin that lives in Europe or Asia. Most people want ForgeLoxus to become an admin.

Speculations around the cause
The people are behind all of this are unknown, although some sources (notably JTE27#0002, who was assumed to have started the raid due to a "Nice Little Warning page") point to x.spy.

Prelude
The wiki had an unprecedented two-year-long period of peace, where many users left the wiki, to make room for new ones to join in their place. At this point the wiki is completely different than its state during the Groundhog Raid, with barely any users remaining from the raid. Raids are mostly viewed as a thing of the past on the wiki, but on April 10th, 2023, that all changed when Arrentia took up a moderator position which was to abruptly end the period of peace on the wiki at no fault of Arrentia's own. During the six peaceful days that followed, he became very active on the wiki.

Months before the raid, a user known as Java was talking to Arrentia, who moderated the Nico's Nextbots wiki. Arrentia brought up a topic from Java's past he was offended by, which caused Java to have a grudge against him. Around the same time, a user known as Yaschen began to vandalize pages on the Nico's Nextbots wiki. After she was blocked, she made threatening posts about Arrentia, which caused her to be globally blocked. Together with Octavia, a notorious raider of many wikis, and Java they plotted to demote Arrentia. Some time later Arrentia takes a moderator position on the RoN wiki. Furious, the three raiders plot on Trello to raid it.

Six days later, on 4/16/2023, Yaschen, under her alt Vlusaven, entered the Rise of Nations Wiki to harass Arrentia and the rest of the staff, by posting polls that sought to overthrow and "impeach" the entirety of the staff team. She was already problematic in other wikis, such as the Nico's Nextbots wiki, DOORS wiki, and the Backrooms Wiki.

A day before the "raid" occured, a user known as GeneralBottomText posted an offensive joke on a post that commemorated the Titanic tragedy. He later apologized after the amount of backlash he received. Due to said post being locked down by Arrentia, Xboom123123 criticized his actions by making a post that escalated the issue and claimed the moderator’s citation was "oversensitive" and that dark humor jokes about catastrophic events should be accepted.

Powernugget, a prominent discussant in the RoN Wiki, posted a message on Xboom’s message wall, about a topic of his previous post. Xboom replied with a harsh attitude that he firmly did not care, while Vlusaven, appeared in the thread and asked Xboom to unite sides to coup the RoN Wiki Staff Team. In response, Xboom accepted. The thread would go on until being locked, and during the time it was active, Vlusaven decided to ask for support by calling out other wikis, Backrooms and DOORS, for the plan to seize power. Powernugget would later wish them a good luck message and state his intention to join them but never ended up getting involved.

In response, Arrentia, Rabby, Superduperwhoopershmooperregularperson, and Dxrknrg, the primary belligerents who are associated with the staff team, had a conversation in the RoN Discord on how to retaliate following the posts that heightened the conflict. In conclusion, Rabby decided to ban three users, XBoom and Vlusaven for initially thirty days, before Vlusaven was blocked indefinitely after a background check of underlying controversy in separate wikis, while Powernugget, a person who pleaded them a constructive message to coup, was banned for 7 days. Arrentia would soon ping Vector Sigma, the Wiki Representative of the RoN Wiki, to ban Xboom and Vlusaven on Fandom, and in response, they were blocked globally across the website. Thus, ending the conflict, for now.

List of Blocked Users

 * 1) Vlusaven (Blocked for 30 days, then indefinitely, then on Fandom)
 * 2) Xboom123123 (Blocked for 30 days, then on Fandom)
 * 3) Powernugget (Blocked for 7 Days)

Vlusaven (original account name Yaschen), Java, and Octavia, three high-profile raiders, continue to be a threat. But unexpectedly, an old user and former Discussions Admin by the name of RedElephantKing (formerly RedKingdomOrder) rejoined the wiki as a staff member. He originally only planned to stay for a few weeks but after the April Revolution happened, he decided to remain his presence on the wiki.

Post-April Revolution Raids
After the April Revolution ended, hostilities between the pro-wiki users and the National Liberation Organization (the name Vluslaven's group branded themselves as) would remain high. This resulted in three minor raids, one of which was a counter-raid against the NLO.

On April 19th, Octavia launched a raid against the RoN wiki and spammed "Java sucks" as well as made some minor damage to pages. This raid was quickly dealt with and the damage was reversed. After the raid, the NLO's Trello (which was for some reason was public) got leaked. On this Trello, a user known as "Ass", who most likely is Vlusaven, and some other prominent members of the NLO discussed their plans and also accused Arrentia of committing crimes without proof in a document known as “The Essay”.

The users banned from this were all alts of Octavia.


 * 1) Unknown username, it consisted of Fjh... and a few numbers to my knowledge
 * 2) Octtttaaavia (didn't do anything to the wiki, was blocked because Rabby presumed that she was an alt of Octavia)

After the raiders’ Trello was leaked, Arrentia managed to find old invite links, meaning the wiki at large could infiltrate their board. GeneralBottomText and Java had a conversation where GBT managed to earn the trust of him, causing him to find his way eventually into their secret board where they planned everything. He first copied the board as it was then joined the board and started to destroy it with a bunch of Wikians.

Six days later, GeneralBottomText and some other wiki users launched a raid against the NLO. This raid was meant to simply disrupt the NLO's plans but hours later, Germanball123 escalated the situation by spamming swastikas all over the Trello. Arrentia condemned this action and stated that counter-raiding was unacceptable. After this, the NLO created another Trello but made it private. Another user named CLIN MANIA from the Arcane Odyssey wiki also made it a lot worse by raiding non-NLO boards that were associated with NLO members, posting mild NSFW content on said boards, and even telling Java to slit his wrists. It escalated to the point that RabbyDevs announced the community to halt raiding Trellos.

After the incident, on 4/26/2023, another raid by Octavia called the Full Stop Raid was launched against the RoN wiki. This raid was slightly larger than the first one, while the community forums and articles were spammed with "........................................................". Once again, this raid was quickly dealt with and the damage was reversed. GeneralBottomText, and a few others, were online on both the raiders' Trello and the wiki when the plans were set in motion, and reverted most of the early edits before Dxrknrg, the first content moderator to respond to the vandalization, scrambled to rollback while requesting Piteous for reinforcements in the RoN Discord. Soon, Aurawra and FamiconBruv, the administrators of the wiki, responded immediately after hearing the news on the RoN Discord, and blocked all 10 users that were owned by the perpetrator.

10 users were banned following the Full Stop Raid, all except one of them being similarly named alts of Octavia. Only 6 of these accounts managed to do any damage to pages or spam the discussions, accounts that did do damage are marked with a *.


 * 1) Okteivia1*
 * 2) Okteivia2*
 * 3) Okteivia3*
 * 4) Okteivia4*
 * 5) Okteivia5*
 * 6) Okteivia6
 * 7) Okteivia7
 * 8) Okteivia8
 * 9) Aivatco10*
 * 10) Unicton

About 30 minutes later, RedElephantKing deleted all of Octavia's posts and the damage was then fully cleaned up. After the raid, Xboom wrote a rant on Google Docs going after members of the wiki such as GeneralBottomText and YugoMafia, explaining that the whole raid was a joke and that he was just trolling. The wiki as a whole dismissed it as untrue, and pretty much just slandered the rant as a whole.

After more raiding was done on the raiders’ Trello board, Rabby was forced to put his foot down and ban three users after ignoring the warning announcements. These users are:

Two days later, on 4/28/2023, Arrentia revealed that X.spy, now known as Rifthook, had allied with the NLO to create a truly imposing raid force. Unfortunately for Rifthook, RedElephantKing (RedKingdomOrder), who had successfully repelled multiple Rifthook attacks in the past, had returned to the wiki as mentioned above, and the stage was set for what could possibly be a raid even bigger than the infamous Wolf Moon Raid that was truly the last major raid on the RoN wiki until the events of the April Revolution.
 * 1) CLIN MANIA (Blocked Indefinitely)
 * 2) Germanball123 (Blocked for 30 Days, later upgraded to indefinite at the request of GeneralBottomText)
 * 3) Shootemup64290 (Blocked for 30 Days)

In total, 18 users have been banned so far over events connected to the April Revolution, with 14 of them being permanently banned.
