Nomenclature of the Civil War

The most common name for the conflict that resulted in the collapse of the old server is simply The Civil War, but other alternative names for the civil conflict have included The Great Midnight Civil War of 2019, the Midnighter Civil War, the Jakowski Rebellion, the Jakowski Revolt, the Collapse of the Bangelreich, and its other derivative forms.

Some of these forms have seeped into Midnighter English, and are now often used either sardonically or sarcastically to point ridicule at another person, event, object, or potential future event.

Origin:
The first terms for the conflict appeared contemporaneously during the Civil War, with the Collapse of the Bangelreich being the most popular as Strategy Hub "A G E" began to fail. Alt, Lonathan, Doodlate, Vis, and other leading Reformist figures blamed Angel for being the sole cause of the Civil War and the subsequent chaos that ensued. A less verbose form of the term, the Bangelreich, eventually came into widespread use. It was not until several months since the Civil War had transpired however, that the term 'The Civil War' began to come into common usage among Midnighters, with the first mention of it being used in this manner being with Ninetiethbeef08 who jokingly coined the term in reference to the Second Moppet Crisis (Great Moppet Crisis).

Its usage was then reassigned by Vis to refer to the original Civil War that led to the collapse of Strategy Hub "A G E".
