No. Not the ballet.
The nutcracker is a time-old, time-tested and universally taken-for-granted tool which, as the name suggests, is used for the cracking of nutshells. During the medieval ages nuts were a popular dessert throughout much of Europe as far back as the 1400s when the term was coined.*
Obviously, things have changed. No longer is the nutcracker a much-cherished device that takes pride of place on the dinner table, now, here and now, it is the term used as a metaphorical tool for the literal e-cracking of Nuts!, the largest tribe left on W67 - at the time of writing any way.
People may well have guessed from recent forum antics that the 'relationship' between BARB and Nuts! has been tetchy recently, culminating in-game at the failed attempts to gain a foothold in K24 - breaking NAP terms - by WHITHOUT R3GR3T 2.0, unfortunately for him though our resident ODA whore was on-hand to evict. Further tension was caused by The Climb, whose co 'accidentally' sent two attacks each at two different BARB members. Whether true or not, this was a silly mistake to make as it prompted quick retaliation in the form of 9,000-odd fakes, led by Sonic Empire, headed right back at him. A short cross-council chat ended in the early morning of the 15th without resolve as tensions and frustrations between the two tribes came to breaking point.
Every body knew this was coming, TPL, SAGA, Nuts! and BARB themselves. As The Climb so succiently put it in his post within the Winter Has Come thread, it was just a matter of when.
So, without further ado, this is an official declaration of war on Nuts! by BARB.
