The Plainview War

The Plainview War was the greatest war ever fought by the Sponges, taking place between the Sponges of Robloxia and the City of Plainview, though mostly their police, and a defining event in Sponge history. It lasted over 3 months and involved hundreds, debatably at times due to allies thousands of active people on both sides.

Before the War
Since even before the war, 3bow, the Father of the Sponges had some personal history with the leader of Plainview, Sadurnn. Though little is known about it, it is known that this is what triggered the war.

Phase 1: The Beginning of the War
Right after the Discord server was created, Sadurnn through unknown means botted the Sponges in an attempt to get them banned. This did not work, and only instantly caused a raid by the Sponges on Plainview City. Plainview attempted to raid the Sponge server multiple times, but were stopped each time. As it was very soon after the introduction of Filtering Enabled to Roblox, the Sponges could not use exploits to their advantage on the server until most exploits had been updated to counter FE. The Sponges began recruiting heavily by trolling Cafes for nearly 6 hours a day, becoming infamous in their community while doing so. This is where they recruited some of their most important members, such as ScriptHook, sp0ng3s and many others.

Phase 2: Before Raccoon
As more and more members joined the Sponges, they began to somewhat sideline the war while trolling heavily. This is the phase when the Sponges came into constant direct conflict with Roblox admins, consistently attacking streams and using exploits to follow and harass the admins. They specifically targeted the creator of Meepcity, who had just became a staff member at Roblox. There was some Sponges who theorized that he might have met with Sadurnn at some point about the Sponges. There was also the rise of a certain Sponge known as Raccoonsniper who was rising through the ranks at this time. He was generally an accepted Sponge, but not considered anything special, at least at the time. Sp0ng3s also created the predecessor to the 3SS, Bleached Sponges, who were tasked with infiltrating Plainview. Sp0ng3s himself managed to get an alt deep into internal Plainview affairs. 3bow made a series of videos about satirizing actual events in the Plainview War for the other Sponges to watch, as well as hopefully recruiting some others.
