The Grid/Swarm Conflict, commonly referred to as The Grid War was a war between a coalition of numerous small factions, notably GRID and Re:struct, against Neuro-sama's Swarm on Canvas 81.
The war has been condemned by many small factions, all viewing Osu's actions as heavily monopolic in nature. (Citation needed, lil bro -User:Neurofumo)
Origins
Osu earlier encountered tensions with Slavborea, a Re:struct provincial faction dedicated to the creation of Slavic artwork. Re:struct's lattice, a vast extension of their bird's yellow tail, was rapidly colored in and reduced to the original rectangle by the purple Osu lattice. Osu argued that the Slavborean lattice was a bad example of virgin abuse, or the deliberate avoidance of using non-default background colors. Slavboreans were unhappy with the divide between their lattice and half of their artwork, fearing a wipe of their artwork by Osu. Ultimately, they retreated, trusting the Osu lattice with handling their artwork.
Battles
On 20 July 2024, an unprovoked attack against an underpopulated GRID began with the takeover of the Liberia cell. Negotiations between two sides quickly fell apart due to hostility, manifesting as smugness from Osu and dismay from GRID; this can be attributed to a lack of major conflicts for multiple canvases straight. After valid complaints from many unrelated minor factions about the GRID community being replaced with a simple lattice, the NSS painted a major part of the grid over with their art, an indisputable maneuver.
GRID, in an attempt to revive the community project, relocated southwest. On 21 July, construction began once more. Land was donated for the project by Meta:struct and the Brazilian Empire. The NSS once again painted this section over following a conflict between one GRID placer and their poorly placed "NO FLAGS" sign. As part of further negotiations, the GRID offered to move this sign slightly further down, allowing for the final row of gridcells to be finished, but this proposal was rejected.
