The Defense of okoshima's Hut (also known as the Steve War), was a minor skirmish between two players that escalated into a pitched war involving Moderators and an Admin versus an army of Steve Police.
Timeline
Early on May 21st, 2011, a player named okoshima complained about a new player who had appeared in his house and had evidently /sethome to that location, so that killing the player had no useful effect. The player was fruity_mario24, and a further allegation was voiced that a block in okoshima's house was altered or destroyed, but on moderator investigation this was let off with a warning.
After some Moderator involvement, fruity_mario24 went elsewhere but returned an hour later to get into the house, with some allegations of a fence being broken or a block being placed so as to scale over the fence, and quite vocal disapproval of the situation in general Minecraft chat channels.
At this time unlikely assistance arrived in the form of Charlesbaechler, who had passed through the area on an unrelated killing spree, dispatching okoshima. Various respected advisers informed Charlesbaechler that this was not a just action considering the ongoing situation, and Charlesbaechler quickly started defending okoshima from fruity_mario24's invasion attempts.
The problem was that although he had now moved his spawn point to his own house, each time fruity_mario24 died, the Steve Police were generated. fruity_mario24 would then instantly run from his spawn point at his house to okoshima's house, ignoring all requests to stop. Charlesbaechler continued to defend the house with the assistance of Liastrae and rtkwe.
Within a handful of minutes the numbers of Steve Police had grown to a fantastic size. As more players arrived, some players diverted from defending against fruity_mario24's incursions to simply trying to kill off and reduce the hoard of assailing Steve Police.
The situation was only completely resolved when fruity_mario24 retreated, and players, Moderators, and Admins, were able to cleanse the area with fire, swords, and bows. The Steve Police littered the area surrounding the the Maze, the Maze itself, and the houses nearby.
Today, a memorial to the battle can be found in Spawn, bordering Maze.
