 Great O'Deck War 

io9 is a website dedicated to science and science fiction and fantasy. In 2010 a war broke out on the Observation Deck, the main dimensional forum of the site. The war started as a small conflict between the Mad Scientists led by Roklimber and Evil Geniuses led by EdificeComplex. Sides were quickly taken by the other members of the forum and the conflict escalated exponentially causing untold damage to the dimensional axis. At its peak, fully three quarters of the members were in conflict. In the late stage of the war, one of Roklimber’s clones was assassinated by forces loyal to EdificeComplex. This close call led Roklimber to enter into hiding and his leadership position was taken up by LittleDragon. The war reduced in severity significantly after this event and eventually an armistice was agreed, though sporadic conflict still continued in some dimensions. The war was officially ended in the spring of 2011.
