A war fought in an amiable, courteous manner.
My brother was killed in a civil war. He was a victim of friendly fire.

A war fought in the United States, 1861-65, over issues such as state vs. national sovereignty and slavery vs. abolitionism. The two sides consisted of the United States of America (known more commonly as the Union and consisting of fifteen northern states, plus California) and the newly formed Confederate States of America, consisting of eleven southern states who stood for state's rights and slavery. The Union eventually triumphed in 1865 after a long and costly struggle on both sides, and the seceding states were eventually readmitted to the Union. The war has been called the first official modern war, as both sides incorporated telegraph communication, the use of railroads as transportation, the introduction of new military technology such as rifled muskets and ironclad warships and the doctrine of "total war," or war against civilians as well as military personnel. Finally, the war produced such iconic figures in American history as Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant (who later became President), Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, Joshua L. Chamberlain and countless others.

As a side note, many today commonly believe the war was fought over slavery alone. While slavery was eventually used by the Union to justify the war, the issue of state's rights vs. national sovereignty first caused the outbreak of war. There are perhaps thousands of books written on the American Civil War, its cause and its aftermath, so I suggest you read those and get a better understanding of the subject that from what I can tell you.
The American Civil War has been called the noblest and least avoidable conflict up until that point in human history.

also known as The BCW. you want the short or long version? doesn't matter, i'm giving a short version.

February 2021 - a particular bungie employee said "@NobleFourOF ok, what ever, nigger" and deleted it after he (or she if you are a faithless imperial) found out that NobleFourOF got a screenshot of it.

who took who? what took what? factions?

aggression - The New Bungie Empire, furries, destiny 2 players, streamers and shitposters and later on pedophiles
oppression - Halo Rebels, CoD Shitposters, Cyberpunk shitposters, Fallout shitposters (namely ParodyPreston) and TES shitposters (namely UselessLydia , StoneFistGalmar and a hybrid account of UlfricODST)

stirring the pot event - so yeah, obviously it divided many including the Rebels for example the TES community because some supported the New Bungie Empire without knowing what really happened.

May 2021 - reawakening the nightmare of every child. too dramatic? ok, i'll rename it. "turning the negative tide."

yes, that was like a final act against the innocent Rebels. that same racist, furry, groomer bungie employee pulled out his final card. the pedophile card. he got all his pedophile friends to get most of the Rebels suspended. some of these rebels include... BuckButBased , UlfricODST , ParodyPreston , UselessLydia , MaraWithCatEars , Echo_3_1 , ChasingGhosts14 and StormcloakODST where StormcloakODST has been around since 2016.

aftermath? twitter is now a safehouse for pedophiles once more.
man 1 - i don't believe it. The Bungie Civil War was actually real.
man 2 - yeah, and the New Bungie Empire tried to cover it up.
man 3 - i suppose we could boycott destiny 2.
man 2 - seems like we are all branded villains these days.
man 1 - i can't believe Bungie betrayed us all like this.

Another variant of the game dodgeball (bombardment). It has all the same rules as regular dodgeball, except a changed rule for when players get out and in.

Players get out the same ways as usual. 1. Get hit by a ball. 3. Hit someone in the head with a ball. 3. Someone on the opposing team catches your ball. And 4. Steps out of bounds.

In Civil War Dodgeball, when someone gets out, they have to go up to the half court line and lie down. To get freed, they have to be dragged back by a teammate past a assigned line, usually the back court line. If the player is dragged back that far, they are back in. However, players dragging teammates are very prone to getting hit by dodgeballs, and often do. Depending on House Rules, if the player dragging their teammate back is hit, that "dragger" has to go to the half court line and be dragged back. In some verision, the person who was being dragged has to go back to the halfcourt line, and in others, the the person who is being dragged stays where they last were when the "dragger" gets out.

Some people have multiple people go up and drag a teammate back to the line. With these extra people, they can drag their teammate back extra fast.

Also, in another verision of this verision of dodgeball, people lie down where they are hit and have to be dragged back to the line, which is usually the back court line.
I got out in Civil War Dodgeball yesterday. Chavez was dragging me back when he got hit. Then Rachael tried to drag me back. She got hit. Then Vincent tried to drag me back. He got hit. Finally, Louis managed to drag me back. Back "alive" and in the game, I avenged Chavez, Rachael, and Vincent and then dragged them back so they were back "alive."
