The Nova-Oerip Raid was a raid conducted by Oerip and Head Administrator Nova. Occurring on Saturday, August 24th, 2019 at about 9 pm EST. The raid was severe, causing multiple players to be wrongfully banned and channels to be deleted. Ending around 11 pm EST, It took several days until the damage caused by it was cleared. For the next few weeks, people would begin to doubt Jobo's right to be the Vice-Chairman, and saw an increase in anti-Jobo campaigns. Some effects of the raid were uneasiness and unrest within the server, leading to widespread staff and community reforms and eventually, the Community of Free Painters War.
Background
Shay's reason to raid was that he was exiled from the Academy due to being a "complete nutcase and being incompetent", which made his brain fill up with anger, thinking a raid in the discord will be his ultimate revenge. (Spoiler alert: the discord recovered within 2 hours of the raid's end)
Nova's reason to raid was distrust and disconnection, despite literally faking his "wife's" pregnancy just to avoid basic responsibilities. Of-course, taking into consideration he could've asked for a break without any consequences.
Oerip's reason to raid, according to him, was because he was angry at Marqret and Jobo prior to the raid and Nova and Shay's annoying circle-jerk behavior peer-pressured him into raiding. Since then, Oerip has become quite peaceful, becoming Vice-Chairman in Okar's, a former WC processing, group (Imperial Colonization) that is distant from WC.
