=== The Communists ===

'''Winner: Anti-Communist Chat'''

In the cover of night, Watt, along with other loyal members of The ACC set out in the realms of the private chats. They heard rumors that a middle schooler had developed a weapon that would forever change North Star Academy. Gabriel Nelson, - an eighth grader at the time – had noticed how organized the threads on Microsoft Teams were. He also noted that students no longer desired to cram together on one great threat. He further realized that each time someone reacted to a message, it sent them a notification. It is rumored that after a long, busy day on Teams, Nelson awoke the next day to a great deal of notifications. The minor lag his computer subsequently experienced fascinated him. He predicted that if he was to react to someone’s many replies, that would send them an equal amount of notifications, pushing the other’s computer to the point of severe lag. On top of that, there was no easy way to clear all the notifications; only going through them one by one would work. His creation was called, Gabing (see disclosed file), and the ACC wished to possess such a weapon. Nelson had run many trials of the weapon, and every time it held up to its reputation. But since he was in middle school, the weapon could not affect students in high school, except through the Student Body. As a result, many in high school retreated to their selective team, fearing the flood of notifications. Watt had noticed the tide flow from the Student Body to the High School Prairies, which helped fuel the war efforts on both sides. She suspected this was due to Nelson’s new cyber weapon. If it was powerful enough to rattle the Student Body, could it score a victory against the CPNSA? That was the question on the ACC’s lips, and Nelson was going to answer it.

The communists kept their army split, half on the prairies, half at the capital. They had ordered all their past notifications to be brought up where they discovered who was responsible. They discovered that it was Gabriel Nelson that was responsible for their defeat, not the ACC as a whole. It was not all good news though, the battle had drawn many neutral students to the ACC. Watt claimed that it was not the communists that caused her final retreat, but her own tactical planning. the CPNSA worked on overdrive ensuring that negative reports be smeared on Watt’s reputation. This intelligence campaign also resulted in a spike in the communists’ membership. Yet despite this campaign, it did not prevent the ACC’s numbers from growing. In fact, some in the CPNSA had suspected that the ACC was growing at a faster rate. This greatly concerned the communist leaders, especially Watson, who advocated for a reconstruction of the CPNSA. Watson called for a similar hierarchy to be established so that the communists would have a similar leader to rally behind. He ended up winning the honor of being that leader, and he appointed Guynn and Obermeyer as his second in commands. Meanwhile, the battle on the prairies was raging. Posts, replies, memes, gifs, and propaganda were being launched with ease on the once peaceful arena. the ACC attempted to bait the communists into pushing back into the Student Body Metropolis where they could Gabe the communists. But Watson gave strict orders not to push beyond the prairies. This prevented the Nelson brothers from taking action against the communists. The communists then sent covert, loyal members into the metropolis in an attempt to Gabe the inventor. They spread reactions to several of Gabriel’s reactions, but one by one they were forced to back off the assault. It was around this point where NSA students officially and collectively addressed the matter by declaring that it was, indeed, impossible to Gabe the inventor. This proved to be a major setback as the communists were subsequently forced out of every stronghold that Gabriel was allowed access to. This included NSA World, the Gaming Channel, the Spiritual Life Team, and many more. However, they still found great success in the private chats and The High School Prairies, which is where most of the action was occurring. After some time of fighting – which was mostly a stalemate – Watson ordered a communist convention in which the leaders of the CPNSA discussed what actions were to be taken next. They faced several problems: first, Watt had been expanding her sphere of influence so that she was a superpower in the High School Prairies and maintained a presence elsewhere. Second, Gabe had driven them back to a stance where they could no longer expand and acquire more territory. Third, the Student Council (in spite of the bombardment) was not looking like it would concede any time soon. And finally, the appointed strike window was beginning to close with Thanksgiving on the horizon. Once that window closed, students would become more and more active on Teams for the holidays. And with the ACC controlling the Student Body Metropolis, the tripartite knew that if more students ventured back onto Microsoft Teams, they had an increased chance of joining the ACC as opposed to the communists. The war had become the most important topic at NSA, as evident with the NaAT being officially classified as a dead thread despite Samantha Aquino and President Johnson’s efforts to revitalize the quest. Everyone knew that the outcome of the war would determine the fate of NSA. And with the projected growth of the ACC, the CPNSA moved to alter their strategy. Instead of striving for a quick, decisive ambush on The Student Council, the communists opted to play the long game. They would continue the siege of the capital while also holding of the ACC on the prairies. They would then openly challenge Watt, Gabe, and Kai to a battle of membership in which the side with the greatest sized army would be claimed victor of the revolution. The communists then decided to call on other communist and socialist countries to endorse the revolution. With this revised strategy in motion, the communists went to work.
