The '''Cat Hill-Empire Cold War''' is the political and strategic rivalry between the [[Democratic People's Republic of Cat Hill]] and [[The Empire]]. The term comes from DPRCH discussion on 28 August 2026, when [[catgirlfeet]] compared the relationship to a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_war_(term) cold war].<ref>DPRCH Council chat, message by x!, 28 August 2026 at 02:36 UTC.</ref>

No war had been declared or fought by 31 August 2026. The conflict consisted of geographic separation, mutual suspicion, treaty discussion, fortification, weapons development, and disputes over the rules governing violence and property. Both sides stated at different times that they did not want open war.

== Terminology ==
In general usage, a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_war_(term) cold war] is a condition of sustained hostility that stops short of direct large-scale fighting. On the server, the term referred to military preparation and diplomacy without a deliberate battle. The conflict was not comparable in scale to the historical [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War Cold War].

== Background ==
The immediate background was the proposed [[Exile of Jude|exile of Jude]] on 27 August. Jude and allies developed a separate settlement that became known as the Empire. The DPRCH organized its council later that day. Public Minecraft chat confirms that Cat Hill and a separate Empire base were both recognized by 28 August.<ref>Minecraft server public chat, 27–28 August 2026; archived logs 2026-08-27-2.log.gz, line 491, and 2026-08-28-2.log.gz, lines 1075–1078.</ref>

== Belligerents and leadership ==
The DPRCH side consisted of the council state and its current members. [[MadShib]] held the interim chairmanship and [[catgirlfeet]] served as Interim Minister of Industrial Labor, while the council retained its stated collective authority.<ref>Leadership and development update supplied by the server owner, 31 August 2026.</ref> The Empire side centered on [[judethenoobs|Jude]]. The Empire had no formal commander or imperial rank, although Jude was central to the original territorial split.

== Diplomatic efforts ==
On 28 August, [[SockMonkeyyy]] circulated a proposed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_pact non-aggression pact]. It prohibited attack, raiding, griefing, intentional killing, territorial violations, and assistance to hostile action. The signature and date fields were blank. Later messages continued to describe the pact as something the parties had been trying to sign, leaving it a draft rather than an agreement in force.

== Military preparations ==
DPRCH council members discussed an airship, howitzers, mortars, bunker-busting ammunition, mines, radar, autocannons, missiles, bunkers, and a cannon factory. Most references were proposals rather than completed deployments. On 29 August, DPRCH members said their bunker and planned cannons were defensive. Empire-aligned players replied that nearby defenses and requests for gunpowder still appeared threatening.<ref>Broad group chat, 29 August 2026 at 23:47–23:52 UTC.</ref>

Many proposed systems were not yet operational. Cannon construction consumed several days of troubleshooting. A later mishap damaged part of the Empire base, but the chat attributes it to a technical error involving chunk loading rather than deliberate fire.

The server also developed high-impact magic described by players as “nuke” spells. Public Minecraft chat records that one spell removed a large area and was subsequently nerfed.<ref>Minecraft server public chat, 31 August 2026 at 03:35–05:14 UTC; archived logs 2026-08-31-2.log.gz, lines 4700–4717, and 2026-08-31-5.log.gz, lines 2462–2463.</ref> The term referred to a destructive game mechanic, not an actual [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon nuclear weapon].

== Incidents ==
=== Base visits and surveillance ===
On 31 August, catgirlfeet stated that Jude's base was visible from the Cat Hill capitol. This amounted to mutual observation rather than a battle.<ref>Minecraft server public chat, catgirlfeet, 31 August 2026; archived log 2026-08-31-2.log.gz, line 2102.</ref>

=== Spell and cannon damage ===
Parts of the Empire base were damaged, and high-impact spells caused repeated crashes. Participants disputed the causes and responsibility. Neither nation acknowledged authorizing a deliberate attack.

== Role of SockMonkeyyy ==
[[SockMonkeyyy]] alternated between mediator, council member, scout, and instigator. He served briefly as a DPRCH commissar, drafted the treaty, and urged both sides to keep the peace. His departure from Cat Hill on 29 August removed him from formal DPRCH affiliation without resolving the dispute. As of 31 August, he remained in communication with both nations. Members of both blocs alleged that he spread misinformation or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty,_and_doubt fear, uncertainty, and doubt] (FUD) between them. The allegations remained unresolved.<ref>Leadership and development update supplied by the server owner, 31 August 2026.</ref>

== Rules and status ==
The server's baseline rules prohibited unauthorized griefing, random killing without a story context, and unilateral exile. On 31 August, public Minecraft chat discussed whether the Cat Hill capital could be struck with a spell. catgirlfeet responded that an unapproved strike would count as griefing and could result in a ban. Later that morning, she stated that she did not want a war at that time.<ref>Minecraft server public chat, 31 August 2026 at 06:50–07:14 UTC; archived log 2026-08-31-5.log.gz, lines 3868–3878 and 4181–4198.</ref>

As of 31 August, both groups remained separate, weapons development continued, and no deliberate battle had been recorded. The conflict was ongoing.
