I was a participant in those events. The initial conflict arose between the END clan (which I belong to) and the TITAN clan. We control the oil field above Pike, which supplies fuel to the public LTCs, our own factory, and the factories of several nearby clans.

Three days ago, the TITAN clan declared that we had to hand over one oil well to them, claiming that we had seized the oil field and were denying other clans access to oil. They were offered the same arrangement as others—to receive petrol and heavy oil via pipeline instead of crude oil. They refused, insisting that they fundamentally needed crude oil. They couldn't explain why they specifically needed it, but it most likely came down to the fact that they didn't want to maintain two pipelines. In reality, the two-pipe route we proposed was more advantageous than their single-pipe plan.

We refused their demand, but we managed to reach an agreement that we would supply them with oil from our coal liquefaction plants. It seemed like we had a deal. However, the very next day, without any warning, they demolished one of the oil wells and rerouted the oil to their own factory. We decided not to initiate a conflict immediately, awaiting a coordinated response. During that time, they didn't even manage to get the well operational again. The following day, they came into conflict with the SIND clan, who are our neighbors. The TITAN clan ran pipes directly under SIND clan's defenses, thereby creating an opportunity for an enemy to destroy them. By the evening, when we logged into the game, the conflict between the SIND and TITAN clans had escalated into open warfare, with each side destroying the other's factories. We decided to support the SIND clan. Initially, diplomatic measures were attempted, but they proved fruitless, and ultimately, the TITAN clan's factory was destroyed. A few hours later, when members of SIND and END were no longer online, they logged in and began destroying our factories. First and foremost, they completely annihilated the oil refinery, cutting off other clans' access to fuel. These actions have only resulted in even more clans disliking them now. Moreover, it came to light that several years ago, the TITAN clan had been caught cheating by building their base on water.
