The War of the Magenta Coalition is an attack on Darkhood organized by an alliance of factions led by Sir Seizure (also known as Revenge666 on the site), Sohiimfine and Kai.
The stated reasons for the raid were to punish the "toxicity of the Darkhood server and the general dislike of the members" in it, as well as in retaliation the several Darkhood raids on previous canvases (namely their attack on KRTOG and their attempt to cover Charlie Zone's worm template).
The initial raid included templates of hearts and some Spelunky sprites, it then soon expanded to a magenta trollface, and text saying "WE DO A LITTLE TROLLING" and a few other small arts. Shortly after the raid began, Schizophrenia began fighting for Darkhood. On the second day of the conflict, Gura's Supermarket announced its involvement on Darkhood's side, organizing a combined push with their allies to destroy the largely completed magenta trollface. However, this push eventually failed and the GSm operation was driven off the magenta trollface template. This allowed the coalition to complete much of its raid template, occupying large sections of Darkhood's core. Sporadic fighting continued on various parts of the raid template through March 25th.
On March 29th, Black Company, a group which took part in the 2023 r/place protests, announced that they would aid Darkhood as their final act before disbanding. The Magenta Coalition had begun to take over a circular Darkhood art piece, creating a ginger cat in its place. With their help, Darkhood was able to hold off the Magenta Coalition for a little while. However, this only prolonged their survival by a short while, and the Magenta Coalition's takeover was completed within twelve hours of Black Company joining the fight.
Darkhood and allies made attempts at re-establishing their art throughout March 30th & 31st, but all failed to gain significant ground.
When Canvas 79 started, a permanent non-aggression pact mediated by the Chromatic Empire went into effect, ending the conflict between the Magenta Coalition and Darkhood. The agreement states that neither party can grief each other. A breach of the contract by either Darkhood or the Magenta Coalition would trigger the immediate eradication of the offending party with Chromatic Imperial support.
The war is notable for the involvement of volunteers from many sources, including Frog Pixels United, Grayscale Pxls, x190, some members of the Pxls staff, and outside sources.
