Overview
The Community of Free Painters - World Conquest War was a community war fought between the Community of Free Painters and the community and staff of World Conquest. The war lasted from March to July of 2020, and unofficially continued in the form of various splinter groups and insurgencies up to mid-2021. It was the largest conflict ever in World Conquest's history, and set a community precedent that still exists to this day.
Background
Somewhere between mid-to late February, Tomatoe, the founder of CFP creates the group. With friends, Tomatoe forms a Youtube channel and a Discord server. The Youtube channel[1], named the Community of Free Painters, is publicly available.
On February 29th, Tomatoe creates the channel's first video, which gains attention and a few hundred views. The video is quick to get into the community of World Conquest, and the war began on March 1st, likely due to the video.
Early March
The first battles of the CFP war occurred from Sunday, March 1st to Wednesday, March 3rd. And ended with a decisive victory from Marqret leaking a list of over 15 raider's alt accounts. About 85 alts were banned during these sets of battles. Up to a few dozen false kicks were done by CFP and 1 server was taken down during this time.
March 1st: Marqret's Infiltration
After turmoil from the sudden appearance of raiders, Marqret, a moderator at the time, infiltrated their discord server and was able to leak the information of over 20 alt accounts. Then, Marqret releases a video showing his infiltration, which is unlisted (private) and on Youtube as well.
March 2nd-3rd: Final Skirmishes
During these 2 days, CFP experiences heavy losses as the bans of the leaked accounts are put into effect. Their Discord server is forced into silence again. Thus forcing the CFP to retreat to rethink their raiding strategies for their next series of conflicts.
March 2nd: The Anti-Raid
The Cons and guest of WC lead by thenewsqard, began to votekick raiders and fix FP after 40 minutes.
After the fp was fixed multiple raid attacks happened even after the reset,
Causing the Resistance to continue but after a long time thenewsqard left after they were defeated.
March 4th-14th
After the decisive victory on World Conquest's behalf by Marqret. The CFP goes into absolute silence for a period of nearly 10 days. During this time, The CFP begins to recruit a handful of new recruits and trains them in their tactics of raiding.
CFP's Early Tactics
CFP's earliest tactics were as follows:
- Join and wait in the lobby for fellow raiders to join.
- Begin purging the server, conquerors first.
- Once all non-raiders are purged, enter the map.
- Randompaint the server.
However, flaws would be found during conflicts within this early time period.
World Conquest's Silence
During the first period of inactivity of server raiding, World Conquest was not in a fit state for warfare, nor was it in a state to talk about it. This is likely due to the rule changes and controversies surrounding them during this time, leaving the majority of the Discord community not caring about the event. As most people on the discord play on the Group game.
World Conquest's Staff Situation
During the first period of CFP's inactivity, World Conquest's staff were limited in strength and number. They had a man pool of about 18 members, most of which were processing and trial moderators. It was common for more than 1 to be ready to go onto a server to help with affairs regarding the game. Due to server hopping tactics by the CFP, Staff members found it hard to track down the servers that the CFP was going to attack, usually meaning more damage would be dealt to servers before administrators could arrive. As well as during this time staff reforms and recruitment was just starting to pick up.
March 15th-18th
During March 15th to 18ththe , CFP begins to rise in terms of activity. With approximately 10 raiders, the CFP is now spotted once again on public servers, raiding. These raids were minor and no servers have been confirmed to have been downed.
Red Flags
From March 15th to 18th, people in CFP began to DM members of World Conquest by adding them as friends on Discord. The messages varied from person to person, but all of them had a similar message. Those who were contacted by CFP typically went on to World Conquest's servers to try to give warnings, but were shut down. These red flags were ignored until CFP's next string of battles the very next day.
CFP's Youtube Activity
During the first period of inactivity, CFP began publishing multiple more videos of them raiding (possibly from the first set of battles), which gained light attention and hate. The reaction from World Conquest's server was not noticed.
2nd Set of Battles: March 19th-21st
The second set of battles took place in the middle of March, and were the deadliest set of battles. Hundreds of raiding alts went on to Public to take down as many servers as possible. During these three days, a total of 16 servers were downed (12 on one day), hundreds of falsekicks occurred, and hundreds of bans were dealt.
Battle of March 19th
Arguably the longest and largest of the battles so far, March 19th caused utter distress on Public. Only a few staff were active to help defend the servers, which caused the Admin VIPs of World Conquest (notably three of them) to help defend the servers. The World Conquest server went into distress about the raiders, but did not collapse. Messages of those complaining that they were raided are common in the general chat from March 19th.
The status of the servers on World Conquest varied from time to time.
Height of the Battle
During the height of the battle, most Public servers were taken down by CFP. Those that remained were typically under the protection of either a World Conquest staff or Admin VIP. At times, only 1 server existed due to the sheer amount of raids ongoing.
World Conquest's Defense
During the height of the raid, Admin VIPs used the spawn to make sure Public servers were not being raided. During the entire span of the day, 2 servers ended up becoming victories. These were:
- Splinterbot was able to join and hold onto a Public server during the final hours of the raid.
- RAWR_Youtube and Ducky_Tuna were able to repel raiders from a server and hold it during the final hours of the raid.
World Conquest Resistance
The Trial-mods managed to do some stuff, But Resistance began to form to resist the FP.
During March 2nd thenewsqard lead a server from death to fixed.
After 40-50 minutes of warfare which by then the FP was fixed after
Most raiders got vote kicked and thenewsqard saved a server.
Casualties
World Conquest suffered many casualties on March 19th, as well as CFP.
Those included: 12 servers fully taken down, hundreds of falsekicks (the number will never be known), as well as multiple Admin VIPs being shunned from servers by CFP.
CFP suffered hundreds of casualties during this day, ranging from 50-250 overall. Most, if not, all raiders were banned from World Conquest due to raiding on March 19th.
Tuning down of the Battles: March 20th-21st
From March 20th to 21st, World Conquest's servers were under less fire than they were on March 19th. A total of 4 servers were lost with only a few dozen falsekicks. The bans of many raiders who attacked on March 19th went into effect in these days. Due to the sheer number of losses and disorganization caused by the defenders of World Conquest, CFP heads into silence by March 22nd, in a move to relax WC's defenses before attacking again. This move worked as when the return came there were many losses for the unprepared WC servers and many false kicks and bans on innocent people. CFP grew in this time and lost only inactive members and replaced them with more active and better raiders, causing the "disorganisation" to indeed help them more than harm them.
2nd Quiet Period: Late March to Early April
During the 2nd period of inactivity by CFP, minimal daily raids occurred. World Conquest was able to infiltrate CFP's discord server after a mole leaked their invite link, which was taken down that very day. During the 2nd Quiet Period, CFP continues to publish videos (this time, likely recorded from March 19th to 21st). However, a sequel to Marqret's attack to CFP is released by one of World Conquest's few YouTubers, RAWR_Youtube. The video has received attention from both World Conquest and CFP, and is the video with the highest amount of likes and dislikes
3rd Set of Battles: Early April
CFP temporarily resurges from April 9th to today, raiding multiple more servers. Only 1 server has been confirmed to have been downed by CFP, While it is publically known that there were more shut down, these numbers have been suppressed to boost WC's morale in a impossible to win war. and 1 server was euthanized due to a raid (which was not included in the servers lost on purpose). A total of 2 servers were confirmed to be raided and hijacked, with many more unconfirmed and not included that were shutdown by exploits, kick raids, and players fleeing the server.
Attempted assassination of RAWR_Youtube
On April 9th, a CFP member PM'd a World Conquest staff member with a false report on RAWR_Youtube. After a rebuttal from RAWR_Youtube, the report was ultimately denied and the reporter shown in the evidence, DividingCloud, was not only reported, but put on a banlist 3 times. The report was quickly deleted, but his real life name and social media were leaked by his own YouTube video that are still up on the internet, despite several CFP members trying to reach out to him and get the video deleted.
Battle of April 10th
On April 10th, an Initiate Conqueror on the World Conquest server reports an ongoing raid by CFP. RAWR_Youtube and BetterNotDie infiltrate the server, managing to ban multiple CFP raiders. The server's state, being heavily destroyed by randompaint, is shown on the top right of this article. The server was euthanized as it was previously purged and had very few people left on it.
Continued Battles
On April 14th, the YouTube channel Rave Cactus joins forces with CFP and begins mass-producing poorly edited videos with meme thumbnails, while the current and largest YouTube channel the Community of Free painters producing many great meme videos with little to zero competition from Rawr_Youtube,WCs biggest YouTuber
World Conquest's Counterattack
On April 15th, multiple members of World Conquest stage raids on the CFP's sole game, called the Community of FP HQ. These raids occurred twice in the day and on their discord. Approximately 1-5 people were banned from CFP's discord, and nobody was banned from CFP's game, but nothing actually happened with these raids as both were allowed by CFP as a publicity stunt, showing the gullible traits of WC members and their staff team.

Attempted Assassinations on Discord
As well a former mod that sided with Khuda, Common_Ruskie, claims he has information of Marqret consipiring with "League of Snowflakes" to depose Jobo.
However, this was debunked after it was shown that Common_Ruskie, had been attempting to forge fake discord reports with Khuda by allegedly using discord alts and attempting to strike famous users in the World Conquest Community by dressing up as them and doing "conspiracy chats."
2nd Revival of CFP
After a months long stretch of inactivity, the CFP began a revival stage in mid-October 2020. After Sickdude joined the server, CFP members began a major raid on CFP on October 12, kickstarting a revival of the CFP and its operations. Multiple major raids happened on the 18th, 27th, and the 30th, with a massive siege of Public WC by Sickdude lasting from October 23rd to 25th, further destroying Public WC. This pushed most members of the group to attack the game. This revival would stagnate in Early November, as the CFP became inactive once again.
Heavy Change in the New CFP Revival
Though in Phase 1 motives for such a group to exist were unclear, with key members making no definitive statements as to why the CFP exists in the first place, it is inferable that the group existed solely to troll World Conquest. But as the revival, ushered in by Sickdude, developed, a consensus as to why the group exists began to emerge. Sickdude, and his brother No(Yes), both had a hatred for the game's second in command, AgentJobo, having had multiple unpleasant interactions and run-ins with him during their tenure as players in 2019. As they, Sickdude in particular, revived the community, this hatred bled into and influenced the rest of the CFP, and the consensus emerged that their motive for such actions was that AgentJobo was a terrible, self-serving, dictatorial leader (Exacerbated by the fact that at the time he was essentially the de-facto head of the game), and that the CFP would continue to attack the game until something was done about him by Phibunsongkhram.
Another change was the lack of propagandizing. The original CFP would often post videos onto their YouTube channel, highlighting their raids and "accomplishments" (if you can call them that) in fighting WC and its mod team. As the CFP and eventually NCFP resumed activities, plans were made to bring back the YouTube channel, which never came to fruition. This lack of public display of their group made it much harder to gain members, especially as the group evolved into the NCFP and eventually DFM.
Bulgariaist’s Reign of NCFP
During this bout of inactivity, A fairly inactive member of the CFP known as NovaStarXP2005 (Really just Bulgariaist, a former member and traitor of the CFP) sent invites to all of the CFP Members, asking them to join his version of the CFP, called NCFP. (Neo Community of Freepainters). This stage of the group, lasting from Mid-November to Late December is a controversial point in the group’s history, with many saying this was a good point in their history, but many others saying that Nova was a very incompetent leader and caused the CFP to fall further into its destruction. Either way, this is one of the most significant events in CFP History, with the end of it marking the beginning of the CFP’s downfall
Plans to "Nuke" the World Conquest Discord
Although it seems highly unbelievable, continued rumors of the smuggling of malware devices into the CFP from trades by Discord raider groups, their most prominent ally being X.Spy and The Continental, was proven true when a spy by the name of Naynbuckweet had allegedly leaked the information to World Conquest Staff and spread their invite link.
Inspired by Biztal's actions, it was a Russian Discord Bot by the name of Guard, commonly called the "Spam Man" that was designed for the deletion of channels in Discord servers when you use the command !attack when given admin once implemented in the server.
The CFP was eager to use this bot to their advantage and were going to attempt to bypass Arun's testing protocol, however the bot was old and eventually no longer had the ability to work, making it useless.
2nd Fall of CFP
The 2nd Fall of CFP began in December of 2020, when the current leader at the time, NovaStarXP, had left the group temporarily for mental health reasons. During this break from the group, he gave no one any mod permissions or any power at all. Coincidentally, the CFP discord invite link was leaked by Craberst to the WC Discord during this time of vulnerability. The server was completely trashed, resulting in its abandonment. After Nova’s break, he was voted out of leadership by the group members, as they saw him as an incompetent leader who caused the CFP server to be destroyed. After this, Craberst was banned by Nova and Nova left, with a new server being created.
Sickdude382’s Reign
At first, there was a 2 day long power struggle for the title of Leader of NCFP, with Sickdude coming out on top. He began a heavy Germanization campaign, renaming the NCFP to the DFM (Das Freie Malerreich), and creating a rank system and uniforms. He also began a large industrialization of Account Production in late January, reaching an estimated 300 accounts before the end of his reign in Mid - February. This may seem like a resurgence of the CFP, or DFM at this point in time, but this is only a setup for what is to come.
Sickdude’s Enlightenment

In mid-February, an unknown WC moderator reportedly persuaded sickdude to depart from the DFM following a two-day negotiation session. Prior discussions with this moderator had somewhat eased tensions between the DFM and WC. Sickdude publicly announced his retirement, attributing it to deteriorating mental health and plummeting grades in school. He claimed to have had an "enlightenment," realizing the futility of raiding a game he sought to improve, thus legitimizing his departure.
Subsequently, a day-long period of deep divisions ensued among members. Some, like Rrrrep and DehCommonGuy, supported Sickdude's decision, while others, led by NoYes and JongoBongo, opposed it. Sickdude's failure to designate a successor for the DFM group fueled suspicions that he intended to dismantle it, transforming the server into a battleground for heated exchanges. Ultimately, Sickdude deleted the DFM server, precipitating a significant crisis and contributing significantly to the demise of the DFM.
Most former DFM members regrouped in the NCFP server, rebranding it as TUFP (The Union of Freepainters). However, this new entity only lasted approximately two weeks. Efforts toward recovery were hindered when DehCommonGuy betrayed TUFP by once again leaking the code to WC raiders. Though rumors implicated Sickdude in this betrayal, no concrete evidence emerged. Consequently, DehCommonGuy, a pivotal figure within the group, was banned.
Following this incident, TUFP faltered, with key members like Jongo Bongo and Raptor resigning, recognizing the slim chance of revival. By late March 2021, the group was officially disbanded, marking the end of over a year of conflict between WC and CFP/NCFP/DFM/TUFP. Despite subsequent research efforts, including infiltrating CFP servers and reaching out to former members using alternative accounts, there were no indications of plans for another revival of the Community of Free-Painters.
