The 4 Day War (Sometimes called The Imperial-Tetris War, The War in Pink Floyd, The Second Floydian War (by people who count the august 18th coup as the first war), The Imperialist-Floydian War, August Conflict (by people who group both the coup and this war with each other), or The First Imperialist-Floydian War (by people who consider the two to still be at arms)) was a war in the region Pink Floyd. It was started because of the increasingly tense standoff between The Imperial Race and Tetris L-Shaped Block. A group of nations lead by the Imperial Race tried to incite a rebellion in Pink Floyd, but luckily for the region the allies of Tetris L-Shaped block refused to rise up against their delegate, and the attempted revolution was quelled in its earliest stages. The 'Player' of Tetris L-Shaped Block was quoted saying "ĉiuj viaj bazo estas membriĝas al ni", which translates to "All Your Base are belong (are in the membership of) us." Upon defeat, the emperor of the Imperial Race (then The Empire of the Imperial Race) told the region that "As long as the natives are under Floydian rule, the region shall forever be an enemy of the Imperial Race". This reason however, is often seen as just a cover story for the true reason - the friction between the two superpowers.

Several hours later, more conflict ensued, which lead to the region being locked for the remainder of the night, and rumors of a sleeper cell. The password was not accepted widely, and was protested by Jack of Blades. This only intensified the paranoia, and both nations were at odd, with the nations of Pink Floyd caught in the middle. The next morning, the restriction was lifted, and everyone became free to enter and leave as they please once again. Peace talks included a race for the position of "U.N. Delegate" to occur between The Imperial Race and Tetris L-Shaped Block. Whether or not to have an election was voted on via referendum, and failed. Once failed on August 22nd, The Imperial Race officially adopted a ZERO TOLERANCE for the region (meaning that the Imperial Race will not collaborate with any nations that conspire with the nations of the August 18th Coup). The Imperial Race gave the government 24 hours to leave the region and abdicate all power to the emperor. This lead to the "protection law" to be once again in place, causing nations accused of helping the Imperial Race to be banned, and the region passworded.

Misinformation trail

During the war, the nations of Pink Floyd lead a mass mis-information campaign against the suspected sleeper cells. True information and plans were told to all old members of the region, but all other members (aside from Asthinia) were given falsified information to throw the Imperial Race off track. When the so called "protection law" was enacted, only two of the five suspects (one of which was not a sleeper cell), were kicked out. The Pink Floyd leaders saw that continuing the misinformation campaign could have long benefits.

Peace & Agreement

On August 24th, due to the negative effects on both sides, Tetris L-Shaped Block and The Imperial Race returned to three party talks, with Socialist Freemen as the observer. The eventually reached an agreement called "Kvina-Periodo Interkonsento" or Fifth Period Agreement (named after the fact that both parties came to the talks because of the very reason stated in the 5th period). The agreement called for :

Battle Flag of the Tetris L-Shaped Block.

1. The Region shall be unlocked

2. The Imperial Race and it's allies shall not attack or attempt to crash the region

3. The Imperial Race may enter and leave the region as he chooses (on the condition that the Monarchy is Abolished)

4. The forum image shall be taken down and replaced

5. The aggression shall cease (meaning the drastic reduction in arms)


It was stated that if any of the 5 periods are broken by either party, the document becomes null and void. All three nations signed and the document was made official 12:05.

After effects

The War caused many problems in the region and the nations themselves. The war is often what caused many natives to flee Pink Floyd. Upon defeat, the "Empire of the Imperial Race" underwent reforms, eventually emerging as the "United Imperialist States of The Imperial Race". The war also brought about the birth of Imperialism, which is causing problems that could lead to a second war.

Peace Disturbed?

Some speculate that the aggression has not ceased at all in the region, and that the banning of the Imperial Race and region locking (September 13th) makes the agreement null-and void. Others say that the agreement was first disregarded when the Imperial Race tried to start a war with the region (September 10th) by banning the very thing the region is founded upon. Aside from all that, others speculate that the agreement all in itself was made with a country that no longer exists, being that the agreement was made with the "million world empire of the imperial race", wile the country has since undergone many changes and emerged as "the United Imperialist States of the Imperial race"

Greater Conflict?

Some consider this conflict to be just a small battle in the continuing Floydian Cold War. Recent events have shown further tensions and deaths that have resulted in similar incidents, thus showing a greater conflict of which the 4 day war is a part of.
